Everyone knew how good Ronaldo was at shooting from a hundred paces. As a result, Liverpool's defensive line inevitably panicked when Ronaldo once again appeared on the cutting path diagonally towards the goal after Johnson was cleanly bypassed. After Mascherano retreated to the penalty area due to his previous outside route, Ronaldo had a chance to shoot.
Everyone was trying their best to move towards Ronaldo's shooting path. Those who could press for the ball naturally did so. Those who could not press for the ball had to use their bodies to block his shooting path.
This led to a flaw in the control of the right side of the penalty area.
Ronaldo originally intended to shoot himself.
But after seeing Mascherano and Carragher blocking most of his shooting angles, he observed his teammate's position in a flash.
Then, he sent out a kick that made people want to slap the table in praise.
Benzema slanted behind Skrtel. After Carragher took the initiative to move to block Ronaldo, a gap appeared between the two men.
Ronaldo's diagonal pass was passed over under such circumstances.
Benzema ran diagonally and looked back at the rolling football. When the football rolled in front of him, he did not make any adjustments and directly kicked the goal!
As he was about to enter the penalty area, Benzema was very close to the goal. The goalkeeper, Reina, had no time to make an effective save. He could only watch as the football was shot by Benzema into the near corner of the goal!
"Benzema has scored! Real Madrid has narrowed the score gap again!
4:3
Liverpool is now only one goal ahead of Real Madrid.
The credit for the attack just now has been given to Ronaldo. He completely fooled Glen Johnson on the left flank and then created an opportunity for Benzema after attracting Liverpool's many defensive forces. Benzema did not disappoint Ronaldo's efforts and sealed the deal with one kick! "
The Real Madrid players celebrated in ecstasy.
The score of 4: 3 was definitely better than 1: 0, 2: 1, or 3: 2!
This meant that Real Madrid could advance to the Champions League quarter-finals as long as they beat Liverpool back at the Bernabéu.
Unless Liverpool could also score three goals or more at the Bernabéu.
The Liverpool generals were unwilling to give up.
It could be said that the two teams had been attacking each other recently. Everyone had the opportunity to break through the goal, and Real Madrid took the lead in seizing the opportunity.
Pellegrini looked at the time of the game. He made a hand signal for the team to start to withdraw and play defense. There was nothing unacceptable about losing by only one goal in Anfield.
Comain, on the other hand, clapped his hands towards the field with a solemn expression, indicating to his team members not to have any changes in their mentality and to continue the competition as per normal!
Liverpool's offense remained the same after the restart.
However, it was Real Madrid who made the first threat.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Kaka kicked the ball from the middle and started a rush. He kicked the ball as fast as lightning and tore apart Liverpool's midfield line. Before and after he kicked the ball to the penalty area, Kaka chose to shoot himself. He shot a high-quality long shot.
The football flew straight to the lower right corner of the goal. Reina tried his best to save and only used his fingertips to slightly change the direction of the ball. In the end, the football brushed against the outside of the goal post and rolled out of the end line.
There was an uproar of horror in Anfield Stadium.
Kaka held his head in regret. He was so close to helping Real Madrid equalize the score.
Three minutes later, Liverpool's offensive came back in a swirl.
Qin Xiong and Gerard swapped positions, and then he dribbled the football in the middle to advance the attack. Kaka himself tangled behind him. Qin Xiong knocked the ball back and continued to run forward.
Alonso passed the ball back to Qin Xiong's feet from behind. After regaining control of the ball, Qin Xiong first spiked the ball to the left to avoid Gago's interception.
Las Diarra followed closely. Qin Xiong slanted the ball to the front right again. At the same time, he sprinted up and dribbled the ball forward. He broke through Real Madrid's midfield defensive line in one fell swoop.
He dribbled the football to the front and back of the penalty area. Seeing that Real Madrid's defensive line directly contracted into the penalty area, Qin Xiong pretended to shoot. Arbeloa rushed up to tackle the ball to intercept. Qin Xiong's ankle shook and a diagonal pass was sent out.
Torres was bound to be marked with full strength, and Gerard's cut inside was more subtle.
Qin Xiong's diagonal pass was sent out to Gerard.
Gerard charged into the penalty area from the flank position and received Qin Xiong's pass to shoot.
Casillas was well prepared and the timing of the save was just right. He directly saved the ball out of the penalty area.
"Casillas made another great save! Oh my God, it's hard to imagine how many goals Real Madrid would have conceded in this game without Casillas! "
Real Madrid's offensive power began to decline after they took the initiative to contract.
But they could not control the situation of the game. Van Der Vaart was replaced by Mohamed Diarra. Pellegrini's intention to strengthen the defense was obvious.
Real Madrid, who could only push the offense through Kaka and Ronaldo, was not feared because the front line was too long. They lacked a coordinator like Van Der Vaart who could link up the attack.
The ball in the middle of the backfield was not accurate enough. It was also a fatal flaw that they could not deliver the cannonballs to the attacking group in the first place.
In the 82nd minute of the game, Liverpool's middle was pressuring the border!
Alonso's assist came up. He and Gerard consecutively passed Kaka and Gago. Then, when faced with the two Diarras' defensive combination, Alonso suddenly passed the ball diagonally between the two men.
Gerard did not run out of position, which puzzled the two Diarras.
But when the two men looked back, they saw the football rolling behind the two men was directly taken away by Qin Xiong, who rushed out diagonally!
Qin Xiong followed Qin Xiong like a shadow. At this time, Qin Xiong dribbled the ball to the right in front of the penalty area. He saw that Torres had a tendency to be offside, so he immediately sent out a straight pass.
Torres leaned sideways against Pepe, then kicked the ball with his right foot directly into the penalty area!
Casillas still wanted to leave the goal this time. He knew that he could not foolishly stand on the goal line and wait for Liverpool's shooters to bombard him indiscriminately. It was almost as if he had surrendered.
Just after he left the goal, Torres charged into the penalty area. Under the interference of Pepe's body, Torres could not shoot with full force, and finally turned into a stab shot!
The speed of the ball was not fast, but it was too unexpected. Casillas subconsciously fell to the ground and stretched out his legs. The football just happened to touch his left leg and slowly rebounded diagonally.
Just when everyone thought that Liverpool had missed another great opportunity in front of the goal, and Real Madrid's goal was safe under the protection of Casillas, who seemed to be possessed by a god, the football that slowly rolled diagonally was taken away by a dribbler!
The dribbler dribbled the ball in the direction of Real Madrid's goal!
