"Van Nistelrooy missed a great opportunity!"
Faced with the almost midair goal, van Nistelrooy's header missed by a hair's breadth.
Lyon escaped with their lives.
But Lyon's fighting spirit would not waver.
Little Juninho and Qin Xiong took turns to show their creative ability in organizing attacks at the beginning of the game.
I'll take the stage when you're done!
In the 20th minute of the game, little Juninho passed a direct pass from the top of the front field to the area behind Ramos. Malouda successfully stopped the ball near the end line before Ramos could catch up. Then, he cut straight into the penalty area. When Helgua came to block, he passed the ball diagonally to Carew, who ran around to receive. The latter did not wait for Cannavaro to get close and shot.
Casillas was well prepared this time and easily received Carew's shot.
Four minutes later, after Qin Xiong and Reyes made an exchange of passes in the front field, Qin Xiong looked for a gap and suddenly sent a straight pass. The football cut through Lyon's defensive line like a knife. After van Nistelrooy ran diagonally to receive the ball, although the shooting angle had become smaller, he cleverly returned the ball behind him. Raul, who had cut inside from the side, faced the rolling football and volleyed!
Lyon's goalkeeper, Kupet, made a wonderful save. He blocked the ball out of the end line.
After the successful save, Kupet stood up and roared, as if announcing that it was impossible for Real Madrid to break through the goal guarded by him!
Two minutes later, Qin Xiong tried to break through diagonally in the front field and was fouled by Toularang. He quickly took a free kick and the player who caught Lyon off guard appeared. Carlos!
Carlos easily broke through Lyon's midfield line after receiving Qin Xiong's cross pass. Then, he tried a long shot in front of the penalty area.
It was as if there was an explosion of power that could engulf everything. Even though the goalkeeper, Kupet, pounced on the football, he was almost unable to stop Carlos from breaking through the goal. Fortunately, the football bounced off the goalpost after the refraction.
Van Nistelrooy and Raúl went to look for an opportunity to shoot in front of the goal, but Squillaci was one step ahead and kicked the ball out of the end line.
Lyon's defense seemed to be on the verge of collapse!
Recently, they had been beaten by Real Madrid to the point where they were on tenterhooks!
Real Madrid launched a tactical corner kick. Qin Xiong attracted the attention of many of the opponent's defenders after he received the ball from the outside. He casually knocked the ball horizontally, and Emerson, who came out diagonally from behind him, did not stop the ball. Another threatening shot was fired out!
Kupet calmly blocked Emerson's long range shot.
The Real Madrid fans in the Bernabéu stands were very satisfied with the team's performance, but they were also very anxious.
How could there be thunder without rain?
Even if Real Madrid's attack was a flowery one, they still needed results in the end!
In the 36th minute of the match, Clek dribbled the ball in the front field and cut inside, but Carlos jumped and tackled the ball. Emerson controlled the ball in the back field and passed it directly to the midfield.
Perhaps Emerson was too eager to speed up and did not want to be a burden to the team's offensive rhythm, so he did not think carefully about the pass. Before Qin Xiong could run out of the best space, his ball was passed over.
Faced with little Juninho spying nearby and Toulalan carefully lying in ambush behind him, Qin Xiong could only stand in place and wait for the ball. He looked back at his teammates' running positions and decisively used the tip of his foot to scoop up the rolling football. Then, with his back facing Lyon's midfield, he made a scorpion tail swing and knocked the ball behind him with his heel!
Toulalan did not react to what was going on at all, and Tiago was already numb. He had played against Qin Xiong many times when he played for Chelsea. Arsenal and Chelsea played four games that season, especially the meeting in the Champions League, which was earth-shattering.
Qin Xiong had a heel magic performance.
The ball flew in front of Raúl, and Raúl put the ball directly into the penalty area. Van Nistelrooy did not understand Raúl's intention, and there was a flaw in the timing of the cooperation between the two players. Van Nistelrooy hoped that Raúl could control the ball to a certain extent so that he could run and wait for Raúl to pass the ball. However, Raúl wanted to go straight to the root of the problem and make the attack go smoothly. The two did not think of the same thing.
The football was easily confiscated by the goalkeeper, Kupet.
After Kupet grabbed the football, he ran directly to the edge of the penalty area. When he reached the penalty area, he rolled the ball to the right flank.
Revier quickly went forward along the flank. Lyon's counterattack was launched from the goalkeeper!
Revier dribbled the ball on the right flank to the midfield and passed the ball across the middle.
Qin Xiong was retreating. He intended to carry out zone control. He knew that the target of Revier's pass was little Juninho. He immediately changed his direction to go to little Juninho's front to intercept.
However, after running two steps, he was stunned to see little Juninho's next action after stopping the ball was to pass the ball!
A mid-range pass!
Too decisive!
The football flew over Diarra's head and landed diagonally behind him, right in the middle of the straight line between him and Ramos.
Malouda changed his previous attack pattern of hugging the flank. This time, he directly cut across the front of the penalty area!
He used his chest to head the ball to the middle, and then accelerated to rush past Helguera after the football fell.
Seeing that he was about to reach the defensive zone between Emerson and Cannavaro, Emerson had already retreated. If Malouda continued to dribble the ball and move forward horizontally, Emerson would form a defensive point.
However, at the same time, Cannavaro also rushed diagonally towards Malouda. He was wary of Carew's running position and wanted to complete an offside position.
Real Madrid's defensive line collectively moved forward. That was the right thing to do.
However, there was a big problem with Cannavaro's defensive move as he rushed towards Malouda.
Malouda directly changed direction and cut into the penalty area!
He brushed past Cannavaro!
Carew stood in the penalty area and did not move. He signaled to the referee that he was not the point of Malouda's pass, but that Malouda was in possession of the ball from beginning to end.
When Malouda broke through Cannavaro, Real Madrid's attempt to create an offside position also failed. They also gave Malouda a more relaxed environment to face the challenge alone!
Faced with the attacking goalkeeper, Casillas, Malouda deftly flicked the ball into the far corner of the goal. Casillas reached out to scoop it, but his fingertips did not touch the football. He turned his head to look and was disappointed to see the football roll into the goal after brushing against the inside of the goalpost!
Malouda beamed with joy as he ran to the sidelines to celebrate.
Real Madrid's defensive line players lowered their heads in unison. Casillas was not even in the mood to complain!
"Unbelievable! Lyon is leading by two goals at Bernabéu! What is' Mr. Golden Ball 'Cannavaro doing? He made another defensive mistake and caused Real Madrid's defensive line to give a big gift to the opponent. Do they need him to rush out? It's obvious that he collided with Emerson! However, he still rushed out without hesitation. He was determined to let Malouda have a chance to penetrate the goal guarded by Casillas as long as he changed direction and knocked the ball!
Real Madrid is behind 0: 2 at Bernabéu, a rare sight in the new season! "
