After Raúl scored, he ran toward the corner flag area excitedly.
Every goal he scored was a Champions League individual goal record!
Raúl, whose eyes were bright as if he were ten years younger, was looking forward to going further with Real Madrid!
Real Madrid, who had come from afar to cheer for Raúl in the stands of the San Siro away team, were ecstatic.
"Real Madrid leads AC Milan at San Siro with Raúl's penalty goal. Now the total score gap has widened to 4: 0. If AC Milan wants to make a comeback at home, they need to score five goals!
Because even if they can score four goals and equalize the total score, Real Madrid can eliminate AC Milan with the away goal advantage.
Five goals, oh my god, AC Milan needs to score five goals to make a comeback. This is an impossible task! "
AC Milan's players and fans were also aware of this fact, so their morale became extremely low after Raúl scored.
It was not that Ancelotti did not want to take another gamble.
It was that AC Milan did not create even a single great opportunity in the nearly 30 minutes of the game.
As a manager, Ancelotti's rationality told him that AC Milan's Champions League journey was over, and the journey of the defending champion was over!
So, he made a gesture on the sidelines to make AC Milan's posture become slightly more conservative.
Now, to be more pragmatic, AC Milan should consider fighting for a place in the Champions League next season in the league. After all, the Serie A League was also at the end of the competition.
If there was a big defeat at home, AC Milan's team morale would undoubtedly suffer a devastating blow, which would be very disadvantageous for fighting for a place in the Champions League at the end of the season.
Ancelotti's adjustment made AC Milan's formation more conservative.
After Seedorf retreated, only Kaka and Inzaghi were left in front.
In the backfield, AC Milan was able to steadily control the ball and organize the offense, but the offense was difficult to advance to the front field.
In the 36th minute of the game, Kaka was successfully intercepted by Guti after he got rid of Qin Xiong in the front field, and Real Madrid suddenly launched a wave of fast attacks.
After Guti passed the ball to Qin Xiong, Qin Xiong crossed the ball to the Snede, who directly passed the ball. Raúl scored diagonally after he inserted the ball diagonally into the goal.
The football deviated from the goal range.
In the 41st minute of the game, Kaka looked for Inzaghi in the front field and was successfully intercepted by Pepe.
Kaka became the only engine for AC Milan's offense in the front field, but he seemed powerless. He was alone and could not carry AC Milan's offense.
Real Madrid relied on the overall team's defense to restrain AC Milan.
In the 45th minute of the game, Qin Xiong changed positions to the left side. He received Robben's diagonal pass after he cut into the middle. He stopped the ball and pushed the ball inside the line at the same time. He made a long-shot pose and deceived Gattuso. He spiked the ball into the penalty area, and in front of Nesta, he used his calf to rub the ball to the far corner of the goal.
The spectators in the San Siro stands watched the half-high ball suddenly fly out from the gap between the crowd and towards the far corner of the goal. The Rossoneri fans suddenly felt uneasy.
When the football brushed the outside of the far post and flew out of the end line, even Qin Xiong himself felt a little pity.
A huge sigh reverberated in the San Siro stadium.
"The first half of the game is over. AC Milan, who lost the first leg by three goals, still can't do anything to Real Madrid after returning to San Siro. They seem to be at their wits' end. Raúl scored from the penalty in the first half to widen the score to 4: 0. AC Milan seems to have accepted their fate. After that, they did not invest more players in the attack. Of course, we understand AC Milan's concerns. They are afraid of exposing a bigger gap in the defensive line for Real Madrid to take advantage of.
I don't know what adjustments will be made by the managers of both teams during the halftime interval. Let's wait and see. "
Real Madrid did not make any adjustments during the halftime interval.
Although Bosque was not conceited, he also thought that the game was in the bag.
As long as Real Madrid did not make any mistakes, he did not believe that AC Milan had any way to restrain Real Madrid.
In particular, they had to score five goals against Real Madrid in 45 minutes!
That was simply impossible!
The two teams switched sides again in the second half, and AC Milan did not seem to have a huge turning point.
The game seemed to be going on at a pace controlled by Real Madrid.
In the 49th minute, Kaka had no choice but to do a long shot forty yards away from the goal. It felt a little like trying his luck.
But the football he shot almost had the effect of a world-class wave!
Casillas seemed to be a little distracted this time. He only reacted after seeing the football and quickly moved to the right. Then, he flew out and narrowly blocked the ball out of the end line with one palm!
AC Milan was awarded a corner kick.
Pirlo stepped forward to kick the corner kick, and the football flew to the back of the goal. Cannavaro headed the ball out of the box.
Just as Guti was about to stop the ball, Seedorf rushed past him, and then used his chest to stop the ball and directly volleyed the ball!
Seedorf's stance startled the Real Madrid defenders.
Only the heavens knew what kind of power his Volley Shot would have.
But when Seedorf really shot the football, everyone felt like their glasses were about to pop out.
His kick was flawed!
The football flew diagonally into the box, so it was obviously impossible for it to roll into Real Madrid's goal.
But AC Milan, who had just attacked from the corner kick, still had a lot of players in Real Madrid's penalty area!
Seedorf's flawed kick happened to roll to Inzaghi's feet.
In the moment when Pepe and Diarra were frightened but could not react in time, Inzaghi did not make any adjustments and directly swept the ball towards the goal!
Casillas was standing on the other side of the goal, so Inzaghi's shot was as easy as hitting an empty goal!
After the football flew into the goal, Inzaghi immediately rushed into the goal, held the ball in his arms, and ran to the backfield.
Applause and cheers rang out in San Siro for a long time.
The Real Madrid players felt a little aggrieved, as the opponent took advantage of the chaos to score a goal!
"AC Milan pulled a goal back, and Inzaghi, who played with an injury, seized the opportunity to send the ball into Real Madrid's goal.
AC Milan's attack from the corner kick failed to pose a threat. Unfortunately, Guti did not realize that Seedorf was beside him when Cannavaro headed the ball out. It was Seedorf who took the lead to control the ball and then shot to create this opportunity for Inzaghi.
Maybe it was not Seedorf's intention to pass the ball to Inzaghi, but at least his poor volleyed shot still became an assist!
AC Milan scored a goal, and now they need to score four more goals! "
Before kick-off, AC Milan's players did not see any sudden hope because of Inzaghi's goal.
After all, the gap was too big.
There were still four goals!
