Explode on the third day of the month.

Dang!
The image of the football hitting the far post of Real Madrid's goal broke the hearts of all the Barcelona fans. At that moment, the inconspicuous sound seemed to shake the soul of every spectator. The one who suffered the greatest impact was the initiator: Messi!
He showed an extremely regretful expression, and then let out a low cry as if venting, which finally turned into a long sigh.
His shot plunged Real Madrid's rear defensive line into a state of panic.
The rebounded football was rolling out of the penalty area when suddenly a figure rushed into the penalty area and touched the ball before Diarra.
Iniesta!
He deliberately kicked the ball to the middle at the same time as he touched the ball to get rid of Diarra. It was also convenient for him to raise his leg to shoot.
Helguera rushed forward to block with his body. With a bang, the football hit Helguera's shoulder and bounced to the midfield.
Barcelona's players collectively complained about Helguera's handball, but the referee did not say anything.
"From the replay, it can be seen that Helguera did not handball. He just turned sideways and did not raise his arm. It was close to his body. The football hit his upper arm and bounced out. It should not be a penalty kick."
As Barcelona was behind in the score, they had to fight for a goal, so their offensive pressure did not decrease. As a result, although the rhythm of the game was under Barcelona's control, Real Madrid would get a chance to fight back most of the time as long as Barcelona's attack failed.
And because Ronaldinho did not participate in the defense on the left side of the front field, Real Madrid's counterattacks were launched more from the right side, and the results were good.
Qin Xiong constantly observed the tendency of Barcelona's overall defensive line during the counterattack.
If they played too much on the right side, the opponent would naturally deploy a lot of troops on that side, which would expose more space and flaws on the other side.
In the 33rd minute of the game, Ramos dribbled the ball to the vicinity of the midfield from the right side. He did not dare to continue forward for fear that he would not be able to mark Ronaldinho immediately after the attack failed. He passed the ball to Qin Xiong.
Just when the Barcelona players thought that Qin Xiong would cooperate with Reyes once again, Qin Xiong suddenly sent a mid-range straight kick from the right side of the midfield!
The direction of the pass was the left side of the front field!
The football penetrated the gap between Harvey and Deco and then seemed to roll towards Zambrotta. But as Zambrotta ran forward, someone beat him to the ball.
Raúl!
The Bernabéu crowd cheered.
Qin Xiong's organization won cheers from the audience.
They broke through the midfield line!
And it created an opportunity for Raúl to get rid of the fullback's marking.
When Raúl controlled the ball and walked to the middle, Thuram pressed forward. He was afraid of Raúl's unbridled long shots from the outside.
In fact, Barcelona did not have a pure defensive midfielder today!
Xavi, Iniesta, Deco.
None of them were defensive midfielders with strong defense and high interception rate!
As a result, Barcelona did not do a good job of protecting the area in front of the penalty area!
At this time, the pressure on the fullbacks was very high.
Which of the Real Madrid frontline players did not have the ability to shoot a 30-yard long shot to set the game?
When Thuram took a step forward, Raúl cleverly slanted the ball behind Thuram, while van Nistelrooy slanted into the space behind Thuram. Puyol followed like a shadow.
The Barcelona defenders thought van Nistelrooy would shoot, but they did not expect van Nistelrooy to slanted the ball behind him!
After Raúl passed the ball, he ran to Puyol's original position. At this time, Puyol was not in position because he followed van Nistelrooy.
After van Nistelrooy passed the ball over, Raúl received the ball and directly raised his leg to shoot. His position was better than before, and the angle was better!
He could not dribble the ball forward because Silvinho had retreated into the penalty area.
Bang!
The powerful shot was blasted out. Raúl's foot was very hard, and the football flew like a cannonball to the goal's near post. Valdés saved the ball to the extreme, but he felt that he was already too slow!
Dang!
A dull sound was heard, and it was as if all the spectators could feel the trembling of the goal!
Raúl's shot also hit the goalpost!
The football that bounced diagonally flew toward the right side of the penalty area where Reyes was. Reyes subconsciously volleyed the ball, but he missed his kick. The football flew up into the air with a strong rotation, and then went out of the end line when it landed.
There was a huge sigh from Bernabéu, and it was immediately followed by thunderous applause.
"After Barcelona hit the goalpost, Real Madrid also finished with a good shot at the goalpost in a good attack. It looks like the goalpost today is not showing mercy to anyone."
Putting aside the different stances of the two teams caused by the technical and tactical arrangements, the battle of the century between Real Madrid and Barcelona in the post- Galactica era was still exciting and did not appear to be one-sided.
In the 37th minute of the game, it was time for Messi to perform again. After receiving Xavi's pass from the right side, he started to walk outside. It looked like he was going to break through Carlos' defensive zone, but when Carlos was about to turn around, Messi grasped the timing of the one-on-one opponent's change of center of gravity as if he was born with a keen sense.
He kicked the ball back and then cut horizontally to the middle. Carlos was forced to make a big turn, but he could only see Messi's back after he turned around.
Messi dribbled the ball toward the penalty area, and Carlos frantically accelerated to catch up.
Cannavaro headed out, and he and Carlos double-teamed Messi from the front and back.
Behind Messi, Carlos had already chosen to shovel, and Messi happened to change direction to break through Cannavaro.
Carlos had to change his center of gravity after he had already shoveled and forcefully twisted the direction of his outstretched foot. He subconsciously wanted to use his hand to support himself on the ground to borrow strength!
But when his hand touched the turf, a piercing pain was transmitted to his nerves. His forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat, but he gritted his teeth and did not make any sound.
His and Cannavaro's defense still had an impact on Messi, causing Messi to change the direction of the ball too much, and Messi knew that if he adjusted again, he was bound to delay the opportunity, so he swept the ball directly into the penalty area.
The Icelander, Gudjohnsen, inserted diagonally behind Cannavaro, almost forming a semi-single blade. He did not make any adjustments and directly chose to shoot with his foot!
Casillas was ready to block the near corner of the goal, but Gudjohnsen hit the far corner of the goal.
Casillas turned his head to look. At first, he was shocked, then he breathed a sigh of relief, but there was still a lingering fear in his heart!
The football brushed the outside of the far post and flew out of the end line.
"Barcelona threatened to shoot again, and Gudjohnsen almost equalized the score for the team. His shot was just a hair's breadth away from the goal! What a pity! "
Barcelona retreated to defend, and Real Madrid spread out their formation.
In the process of rearranging the formation to continue the contest, no one noticed that one of the expressionless Carlos's hands was pressed against his body. One of the fingers of the hand that seemed to be hiding behind his back was bent irregularly …
