Real Madrid and Liverpool both hoped to score the next goal as soon as possible to lay the foundation for the victory of the two legs of the game!
Real Madrid's players began to attack a point purposefully in the organization of the attack.
They used Ronaldo's individual ability to crush Liverpool's defense on the right flank: Glen Johnson!
However, they could not directly concentrate all their strength to attack that point. That would not be wise enough and would make Liverpool more vigilant.
Kaka began to attack from the right flank with Van Der Vaart in the middle to attack Aurelio, Alonso, and Skrtel's defensive zone. In this way, they could tear apart Liverpool's horizontal defense as much as possible, thus creating enough space for Ronaldo to attack from the left flank.
In the 62nd minute of the game, Kaka and Van Der Vaart carried out a pass and cut in the right area of the front field. After the two men continuously passed the ball, Kaka cut diagonally into the right flank in front of the penalty area. Before he was heavily surrounded, Kaka decisively passed the ball to the left flank.
Ronaldo ran inside and cut inside. When Johnson turned around to prepare to defend against Ronaldo, the Portuguese superstar directly kicked the ball to speed up and shake him off. Then, he saw the shooting angle on the cut inside line and decisively lifted his leg to shoot!
This explosive shot was very good and the ball was very fast. Unfortunately, the football, which flew close to the turf, eventually brushed the outside of the goalpost and rolled out of the end line.
"Ronaldo's shot slid out of the goal! Real Madrid's offense looks very effective. "
Liverpool's side also strived to create good opportunities for every attack to shake Real Madrid's defense.
In the 64th minute of the game, Qin Xiong received Alonso's pass from the left flank and went all the way forward along the flank.
Las Diarra rushed over to close in and snatch. Qin Xiong used his speed to break through Diarra, but the other side was still in hot pursuit.
After coming in front of Ramos, Qin Xiong used the outer instep of his right foot to fake a pass, and then his right foot feinted in front of the football and continued to go down the outside!
Ramos and Diarra chased after Qin Xiong together. Ramos tried to force Qin Xiong out of the end line, and the center back, Pepe, also came to intercept. Qin Xiong did not have much space to move forward after cutting into the end line of the penalty area.
At this time, he directly used his left foot to pass the ball back to the top of the inverted triangle in the penalty area.
Gerard rushed up there to stop the ball. Gerard tried to intercept Gerard head-on. Albiol and Arbeloa blocked the space route for Gerard to advance and pass the ball to Torres.
Gerard flicked the ball to the side, and after dodging Arbeloa, he barely managed to raise his leg to shoot at the goal!
The football flew in an obvious arc towards the goal, and finally brushed the top corner of the goal and flew into the stands!
The Red Army fans in the Anfield Kop stands got up to meet the flying football, and then there was a burst of applause.
The back and forth between the two sides began to make people nervous.
Three minutes later, Van Der Vaart made a wide offensive shift on the right side of the front field.
His cross pass crossed the half of the field. Ronaldo used his foot to stop the ball under Kuyt's pressure and seized the first possession of the ball. Then Kuyt intercepted, but Ronaldo was faster to poke the ball to the middle. Kaka ran over to receive the ball and kicked the ball out.
The football returned to Ronaldo's feet, and he kicked the ball straight to Johnson.
Johnson was a little frightened at the moment. He obviously could not withstand Ronaldo.
Just as he hesitated whether to go forward to close in and snatch, Ronaldo simply crossed the ball and did not give him a chance to defend in close.
Mascherano had just moved over to intercept Ronaldo, but the latter passed the ball diagonally behind Mascherano.
Benzema kicked the ball out with his back to the penalty area and gently returned the ball that rolled over.
Kaka dribbled the ball in front of Alonso, and then swayed to create a gap and kicked the goal!
The ball was played with great force and the football flew straight to the goal. Unfortunately, the angle was a little right, but Reina did not dare to directly hug the football because he found that the football's trajectory was a little erratic!
Reina used both fists to hit the ball out, and the football that fell outside the penalty area was directly cleared by Mascherano with a long kick. Ramos took the lead to control the football's landing point on the flank, and then a long pass into Liverpool's penalty area.
The ball was not a threat, and Reina rushed out directly to hug the ball.
Real Madrid's targeted attack began to bear fruit, and Liverpool's side was not far away from breaking the goal again.
In the 69th minute of the game, Gerard dribbled the football in the middle to advance the attack. He passed the ball straight to Torres in front of Gerard, who diagonally returned the ball. Gerard, who continued to run forward, controlled the ball again.
Gerard dribbled the ball to the right in front of the penalty area. Seeing that there was a chance to shoot, Real Madrid's defensive line immediately moved to his side, and Gerard sent a diagonal straight pass.
The football that rolled between Pepe and Albiol penetrated the rear defensive line!
Casillas left the goal!
On the route he took to chase the football, Qin Xiong was running at full speed. He shook off Ramos and competed with Casillas for the opportunity. He was confident that he could touch the ball first, but in a full sprint, he could no longer make an emergency stop to control the ball.
Before the two men were about to collide, Qin Xiong used his foot to poke the ball towards the goal, and Casillas also fell to the ground. He stretched out his thigh to block Qin Xiong's poke!
The football bounced out, and Albiol panicked and drove the ball out of the sideline!
"Qin Xiong's poke in the penalty area almost pierced through Casillas's fingers again! This time Casillas did a great job. He left the goal in time to block Qin Xiong's shooting angle and did not give Liverpool a chance to increase the score. "
Qin Xiong gave a thumbs up to Gerard after the shot.
In fact, if the opponent was not the world-class goalkeeper Casillas, but any other goalkeeper, Qin Xiong would have had a high probability of sending the ball into the goal as long as his reaction was a little slower.
Two minutes later, Ronaldo dribbled the football in Real Madrid's front field to advance the offense. This time, Ronaldo still focused on crushing Johnson's offensive thinking.
He dribbled the football to Johnson's defensive zone. At this time, Johnson did not know how to defend against Ronaldo.
He could only focus on defending Ronaldo's cutting route.
However, in front of him, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball to the outside. This caused Johnson to immediately turn back after his defensive mistake. Just as he turned around to chase after Cristiano Ronaldo, he saw Cristiano Ronaldo spike the ball and change direction. He turned around and went from behind Johnson to the outside to cut across the middle of the penalty area!
Johnson was bypassed twice in a row. He was so angry that he wanted to foul, but Ronaldo did not give him a chance to foul at all this time.
Seeing that Johnson was beaten, Liverpool's defensive line naturally tilted to this side!
