The battle between Real Madrid and Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium seemed to be evenly matched for the time being.
This allowed the Arsenal fans to breathe a sigh of relief for the time being.
Real Madrid, who shook Europe, did not destroy Arsenal as soon as they came up.
In the 18th minute of the game, Real Madrid spurred the attack in the midfield. Guti and Ramos did a one-two in the midfield. Guti slanted behind Eboue to receive the pass from Ramos and then passed the ball straight to Raúl on the frontline.
Raúl retreated and took the initiative to receive the ball with a kick to the side. Robben stopped the ball behind Clichy and then cut inside into the penalty area.
At the same time, Raúl slanted in front of the goal area and Snede also cut inside from the other side.
Real Madrid's three arrows made Arsenal's rear defensive line immediately jittery.
The rear defensive line quickly retreated because Robben dribbled and cut inside to attack in depth, which forced the rear defensive line to retreat to a safe zone to at least block Robben's forward route to the goal. They could not be in a passive defensive position when Robben passed the ball.
At this moment, the distance between the rear defensive line and the rear defensive line was pulled apart.
In a flash, Robben used his golden left foot to kick the ball back. After observing the situation, he kicked the ball to the penalty area.
Arsenal's defenders immediately looked back at the empty area.
Qin Xiong shook off Fàbregas and rushed forward side by side with Flamini.
Flamini wanted to interfere with Qin Xiong to stop the ball, but Qin Xiong took a step before the football fell and rushed forward. Under Flamini's shocked close-up gaze, he jumped up and used a scissor kick to volley in the air!
BOOM！
There was a hint of Kung Fu football. Qin Xiong's volley was shot with the instep of his foot and the football was blasted in the direction of the goal.
The football flew into the goal in the blink of an eye without a trace of rotation!
Almunia was dumbfounded and did not respond!
The Real Madrid fans, who had come from afar, cheered excitedly in the away team's stands.
They had never worried about the team's performance from beginning to end. Real Madrid had already created many team records this season, as well as the entire La Liga records, and even the records of the five major European leagues. What was there to worry about?
The Real Madrid generals rushed to Qin Xiong excitedly.
Qin Xiong saw the football fly into the goal after he landed. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
He did not know why, but he had long buried his feelings for Arsenal in the corner of his heart and sealed them away. But now, he felt a faint sense of pain.
He subconsciously turned his head and glanced at Wenger from the corner of his eye, then looked around the stands of the Emirates Stadium.
This was supposed to be his stage.
It was the new world he had entered after leaving Highbury, the place where he imagined he could write his own legend.
But now, he was only an enemy here!
He endured the heartfelt blessings from some nostalgic Gunners fans and the boos from the majority of angry fans, who scolded him for being a Judas who left for money.
It was a complicated feeling.
He needed to take deep breaths to adjust his breathing and let the air suppress the faint pain in his breathing.
At Arsenal, he had the awareness of dedication and loyalty, but it was also at Arsenal that he became a player who had no fate with loyalty.
He did not celebrate, but he would not bow his head as if he was deeply apologetic. He turned around and walked towards the midfield with his head held high. His teammates around him understood his complicated emotions after killing his old boss. Raúl, Snede, Robben, and Guti all came over to pat him on the shoulder or arm, and then walked towards the backfield with their usual expressions.
"Arsenal's goal has been breached! In the 19th minute of Real Madrid's first half, Qin Xiong opened the scoring!
Robben's sharp breakthrough on the right side created this opportunity. He passed the ball back to the penalty area line in front of the end line in the penalty area. Qin Xiong shook off Fàbregas and won the race of speed with Flamini. He did not dawdle and directly used a scissor kick to blast the goal. Almunia was stunned!
The feelings of the Arsenal fans must be complicated, and perhaps there was pain in their hearts.
This was once the best star player they had, but now he had broken through Arsenal's goal.
The club made the mistake of letting Qin Xiong go. If not, how long would Arsenal's strength last? At least it would be stronger than it is now!
Qin Xiong must still have feelings for Arsenal in his heart. After breaking the goal, he did not celebrate and walked back to the midfield in silence.
Real Madrid leads the home team, Arsenal, by 1: 0 at the Emirates Stadium! "
When Qin Xiong walked to the midfield, Henry was already standing there with the football. The two men brushed past each other and did not even make eye contact.
The two teams set up their formation again. After the referee blew the whistle, the game began again.
The mental pressure on Arsenal's players suddenly increased.
The Champions League knockout stage was most afraid of losing a goal at home. Now Arsenal was still behind in the score. Even if the game only ended 0: 1, Arsenal was still standing on the edge of a cliff.
In the 22nd minute of the game, Henry moved to the left side to pass the ball forward. He passed the ball in front of Ramos to Hleb, who was running inside.
In the face of Diarra and Pepe coming forward to block, Hleb suddenly passed the ball back.
Fàbregas, who followed up in the middle, did not stop the ball and sent it straight out.
The football went straight from Guti's side to Real Madrid's penalty area. Adebayor was the first to touch the ball under Cannavaro's entanglement. It was a diagonal pass!
Pepe and Ramos turned around together. Henry, who circled into the penalty area from the flank, once again had a semi-solo opportunity, but his shooting angle this time was almost the same as the last time.
It was too small.
Henry did not hesitate and tried to rub the far corner to spin the ball into Real Madrid's goal.
The football bypassed Casillas's fingers, but when it flew to the far post of the goal, it brushed the outside of the post and flew out of the end line.
It was just a hair's breadth away!
The Arsenal fans were particularly disappointed, but still firmly believed that the team could score in the next attack.
At least Real Madrid's defense did not seem to be unbreakable.
In the 26th minute of the game, Ramos assisted from the right side. He received Robben's return pass and passed the ball horizontally to Guti.
Guti immediately shifted the attack and passed the ball to the left side of the front field.
After Snede took control of the ball, he directly began to cut inside. When he and Qin Xiong passed each other, the two men exchanged the ball.
Qin Xiong controlled the ball to attract Flamini, and then passed the ball to Snede, who was diagonally in front of the penalty area.
In the face of Gallas's frontal defense, Snede perceived Raúl's movement behind Gallas when he ran diagonally. He gently passed the ball behind Gallas.
Raúl stopped the ball and volleyed out!
Dang!
The football hit the near post and bounced out!
Flamini hurriedly cleared the siege and kicked a fault. Guti followed up and shot from thirty yards away from the goal!
Because he saw Almunia fall to the ground and did not get up, but the football flew slightly over the crossbar into the stands.
Real Madrid's threatening offensive came in waves!
