Chapter 1109
Words:1608Update:22/10/07 00:04:22
The Anfield crowd, including all the players in the stadium, stared at the figure who dribbled the football towards Real Madrid's empty goal!
That figure seemed to be the focus of the whole world at this moment!
The Real Madrid players' eyes were full of despair as they stared at the back of the figure. They could see the number on the back of the red shirt: number 7!
Liverpool's Qin Xiong!
The Red Army fans in the Anfield stands were ready to stand up and cheer.
When Qin Xiong strolled the ball into Real Madrid's goal, he stood in front of the goal line and turned around. Behind him was the Kop stands. He let out a roar.
Behind him, the die-hard Red Army fans in the Kop stands also let out an earth-shattering roar at the same time!
The scene was extremely shocking!
"Liverpool has scored the fifth goal! 5: 3, now Liverpool leads Real Madrid by 5: 3 at home!
This time Torres did not beat Casillas, but Casillas also could not completely clear the ball. The football that was blocked in the penalty area was obtained by Qin Xiong. Qin Xiong dribbled past Casillas and then sent the ball into the empty goal!
A hat-trick!
Qin Xiong scored a hat-trick of goals!
He helped Liverpool regain the two-goal lead over Real Madrid! "
Comain waved his fists excitedly on the sidelines when he saw Qin Xiong score. Then he quickly restrained his emotions and began to make substitutions. He let Lucas come on and replace Kuyt.
He wanted to strengthen the midfield defense in front of Liverpool's penalty area and not give Real Madrid any more chances.
Liverpool should be satisfied with a two-goal lead at this stage. After all, their fitness was declining and no one could guarantee what would happen in less than ten minutes.
Pellegrini was extremely disappointed. If they were only behind by one goal, then the result of the game could be said to be satisfactory. But if they were behind by two goals, then it was completely different.
Real Madrid's players were unwilling, but the team's offense was already difficult to pose a threat.
Without Van Der Vaart and Kaka's declining fitness, Ronaldo and Benzema were isolated in the front field.
Liverpool continued to pose a threat after the game resumed, but most of it came from long shots.
In the 87th minute of the game, Qin Xiong received Torres in the middle of the midfield and returned a heavy shot to the goal to test Casillas again.
Fortunately, Casillas was well prepared to block the ball, otherwise the consequences would have been disastrous.
In the final stages of the game, the two teams' fitness were exhausted. Liverpool had a big battle with Arsenal before the game...... and their lineup was not strong, so it was difficult for them to play as a whole in the final stage of the game....
The game ended uneventfully.
"The first leg of this season's UEFA Champions League 18 finals at Anfield has come to an end. Premier League leaders Liverpool beat La Liga giants Real Madrid 5: 3 at home with Qin Xiong's hat-trick and Gerard's and Torres' goals. On Real Madrid's side, Ronaldo, Benzema, and Kaka each made a contribution, but it was difficult to reverse the defeat. It doesn't matter, Real Madrid still has a chance in three weeks at the Bernabéu! I believe the next time the two teams meet, there will be sparks of passion. "
Real Madrid's players left the field full of anger. Before leaving, perhaps most of the Real Madrid players had the same monologue in their hearts: We'll wait for you at the Bernabéu!
Yes, Real Madrid still had a chance. Back at the Bernabéu, they believed they could eliminate Liverpool.
Liverpool's players walked around the field after the game to thank the fans for their support.
Qin Xiong took off his jersey, walked to the front of the Kop stands and threw the jersey to the fans.
Comain shook hands with Pellegrini after the game, and then walked into the players' tunnel.
The players were stopped by reporters on their way back to the locker room for interviews.
Most of the Real Madrid players said that Liverpool's victory in today's game was due to luck. Ronaldo said, "We'll advance at the Bernabéu. It's a little difficult to beat Liverpool in Anfield, but the same thing will happen at the Bernabéu. Liverpool will encounter great difficulties at the Bernabéu, and Real Madrid will advance in the end."
Talking about his performance in the game, Ronaldo said, "This was not my best game. I'll work hard to improve my condition in the next game."
Kaka said after the game, "Liverpool is very strong. They showed the momentum of the Premier League leaders in Anfield. Although it's a pity that Real Madrid lost, we did our best. There's no need to be too desperate now. There's still 90 minutes of the game. We haven't been eliminated yet."
After it was the Liverpool players' turn to be interviewed, Torres looked forward to the game at the Bernabéu.
"I can't wait for the start of the next round of the game. I'll look forward to playing at the Bernabéu because I'll be proud to break the goal there. Now we're two goals ahead. At the Bernabéu, we'll expand this advantage and finally advance to the Champions League quarter-finals!"
Gerard faced the victory humbly.
"It's wonderful to win the game. The score of 5: 3 is enough for us to face the next round with optimism. But we can't be too happy. After all, the football is round. Anything can happen. Real Madrid is not a nobody. They have the ability to make a comeback. We have to be vigilant about this."
Qin Xiong was surrounded by a lot of reporters in the mixed zone.
As the MVP of the game, plus the game ball, Qin Xiong was naturally the focus of attention.
"Scoring a hat-trick in your first game against your former team, Real Madrid. Does this make you very happy?"
Qin Xiong replied with a smile, "This has nothing to do with whether we face Real Madrid or not. I'm a professional player. I'm now playing for Liverpool. I should contribute to the team's victory. Maybe today was not Real Madrid. I would have scored three goals, or more. No matter what, victory belongs to every Liverpool player. It has nothing to do with whether I was a Real Madrid player or not."
"The next round will be at the Bernabéu stadium. Will you encounter pressure from the Real Madrid fans?"
"Maybe, maybe not. Who knows? I don't really care. But to be able to return to the Bernabéu to play is something that makes me excited. Real Madrid is the top team in Europe. Bernabéu is also a top stadium. It's a pleasure to play there."
"Will Liverpool eliminate Real Madrid?"
"Of course! Every one of us is full of confidence. I just want to say that the next round of the game will definitely be easier than today because in the Bernabéu, Real Madrid will definitely be under much more pressure than us! I know this very well! "
Qin Xiong left after he finished speaking.
