Although Arsenal had the idea of a defensive counterattack, in the case of a weak defense, they became flustered in defense and were in a difficult situation where they could not counterattack.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, smoothly organized their offense and constantly charged into Arsenal's penalty area.
In the 38th minute of the game, after attacking back and forth in the midfield, Guti passed the ball directly to Raúl, who was the fulcrum of the forward line. The latter directly passed the ball back. Qin Xiong received the ball and shot a powerful volley. Senderos rushed forward and blocked the ball with his body.
Two minutes later, Qin Xiong changed positions to the left flank. Snede received Robinho's cross in the middle and slotted the ball diagonally into the empty space on the left flank of the penalty area.
Qin Xiong got rid of Eboue, cut into the penalty area, and then passed the ball to the back of the goal. Raúl took off to head the ball as he retreated from the back of the penalty area. Unfortunately, he did not use enough strength and the football fell lightly into Almunia's arms.
Before the end of the first half, Robinho dribbled the ball forward from the right flank and passed the ball straight to Ramos, who was trailing from the side. The latter passed the ball and Qin Xiong also tried to head the ball from the back of the penalty area. Unfortunately, the football slipped out of the goal.
"The first half of the game is over. Real Madrid has completely suppressed Arsenal at the Bernabéu. Now the total score is 5: 2. Real Madrid's promotion is in sight!"
The players from both sides walked into the locker room. On Real Madrid's side, Bosque talked to Robinho alone. Robinho could not refute the old manager's criticism of his poor form. He could only say that he would work hard in the second half.
Bosque did not intend to bring on Robben in the second half. After all, Robben had a minor injury and it was too risky. Moreover, if he wanted to make a substitution, then there was no need to waste time saying anything to Robinho.
In the second half, the two sides changed sides and fought again.
Arsenal soon fell into a completely passive situation again.
In the 47th minute of the game, Snede made a one-two combination with Qin Xiong after he dribbled from the left flank. He cut into the middle and came to the penalty area, ready to shoot.
Fàbregas hurried to block, but Snede took the ball at his feet diagonally to the left side of Senderos's body, and then broke through into the penalty area!
Senderos originally wanted to block Snede's shot, but he did not expect the Snede to actually shoot!
After he stopped abruptly, he turned around and rushed towards the Snede. In a moment of desperation, he chose to shovel.
Snede, who had already entered the penalty area, was caught in the calf by Sendros and fell to the ground!
After Snede fell to the ground, he hugged his calf and cried out in pain.
Sendros stood up and waved his hand to indicate that he did not break the rules.
The referee blew the whistle immediately and pointed to the penalty spot in the penalty area.
Qin Xiong came to Snede's side, bent down, pressed his shoulder and asked, "How is it?"
Snede shook his head slightly and said, "I don't think I can continue the game. I sprained it."
Qin Xiong patted him on the back and then accompanied him to wait for the arrival of the team doctor.
Bosque's face was gloomy on the sidelines. He was not in a good mood at all.
Snede was an important part of Real Madrid's tactical setup this season.
It could be said that he was the same as Qin Xiong. No one could replace him.
Could Real Madrid still find a player with the ability to organize and perform well in the wing and attacking midfielder positions in the Real Madrid squad?
They could not find him!
With Snede, Real Madrid's attacking group would be more varied. To put it bluntly, Snede could further activate Qin Xiong!
Now that Snede was injured, the blow to Real Madrid was not small!
Robinho's out of form was probably nothing compared to it!
"Oh no, at the beginning of the second half, Snede charged into the penalty area and was tackled to the ground by Senderos. The referee gave a penalty kick. This penalty kick should not be controversial. Real Madrid's players, led by Raúl, are still putting pressure on the referee. They think Senderos should be sent off with a red card, but the referee only showed Senderos a yellow card!"
Snede was helped out of the field by the team doctor. Bosque anxiously waited for the team doctor's preliminary diagnosis in the technical area.
After he heard that Snede's injury was not serious and that he would be able to recover in three weeks, Bosque finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The league tournament did not matter. The Copa del Rey did not matter.
Losing Snede would not cause Real Madrid's strength to plummet.
However, in the Champions League with so many experts, Real Madrid must give their all and be in their best condition to have hope of reaching the end!
Raúl came to take the penalty kick. He faced Almunia and calmly pushed the ball into the lower right corner of the goal.
"Real Madrid leads Arsenal 3: 0 at home, with a total score of 6: 2!
After Raúl scored this goal, we can almost declare the game over. Real Madrid can advance to the Champions League semi-finals. Unless Arsenal can score four goals at the Bernabéu, they can only accept the fate of being eliminated. According to the current situation, it may be difficult for Arsenal to even score one goal, let alone four goals, because it is difficult for them to even create shooting opportunities. "
Bosque called back Baptista, who was called to warm up at the last minute, after the goal, and then arranged the task for him after he came on.
Two minutes later, Baptista came on to replace the injured Snede.
After he came on, he replaced Qin Xiong as the shadow striker. Qin Xiong withdrew to play in the midfield. Guti moved to Snede's original position on the flank.
Real Madrid completely entered the state of controlling the rhythm of the game.
Arsenal could only be forced to retreat with the whole team. The encirclement was ineffective, the counterattack could not be made, and the positional play offense lacked impact.
The past half a month was a nightmare for Arsenal for two weeks.
Now, the nightmare was not over.
Real Madrid, who seemed to have a dominant advantage on the field, slowly organized the offense to wear down Arsenal's stamina and fighting spirit.
Until the 75th minute of the game, Qin Xiong and Guti launched a wave of tacit offensive forward in the middle and cooperated with each other to pass and cut.
The two men continuously hit the wall and cooperated to pass Hleb and Fàbregas. Then, in front of the penalty area, Qin Xiong passed the ball to Baptista. The latter and Qin Xiong did a wall combination again. Qin Xiong plugged forward in the penalty area and attracted a number of Arsenal's defenders.
He turned the ball back with his heel. Guti, who was lying in ambush behind him, charged out diagonally and took the ball away at the same time. At the same time, he swayed out of the shooting angle.
Guti shot explosively in the penalty area and blasted the ball into Arsenal's goal!
After the goal, Guti nodded contentedly and ran to the side of the field. He also specifically high-fived Qin Xiong to celebrate.
Before Qin Xiong ran to the side of the field to celebrate the goal with Guti, he turned his head to look at Arsenal's players in the field.
He seemed to see a scene of devastation. Arsenal's players had lost their fighting spirit. Their expressions were disheartened, as if they just wanted to escape the nightmare of Bernabéu as quickly as possible!
Qin Xiong sighed softly in his heart.
He sincerely hoped that Arsenal could get better and better, even if they were very strong, so strong that Real Madrid did not have the confidence to beat them. That would be good too. The confrontation between the strong and the strong was his favorite stage.
But now, Arsenal was showing a scene of utter defeat, which was somewhat difficult for him to accept.
