If Liverpool could get past Real Madrid, they would achieve the feat of reaching three finals in four years!
2005, 2007, and 2008!
However, the game at Anfield made the Liverpool fans very worried about whether this feat could be achieved.
In particular, the Liverpool players on the field felt a huge challenge and a suffocating pressure!
Real Madrid equalized the score and had two goals from the away team, which was simply fatal.
Liverpool's mentality changed after the kickoff and their offense became fierce.
Benítez, who saw this phenomenon on the sidelines, made many gestures, but the players on the field were focused on the game and did not have time to observe the manager's instructions.
Benítez knew that if Liverpool could not calm down and changed their stance because of the change in the score, then the game against Real Madrid would be extremely dangerous.
In the 58th minute of the game, Benayoun dribbled the ball from the flank to the front field. He passed the ball in front of Ramos to the middle.
Gerard, who was being pressed by Diarra, decisively passed the ball and chose to pass it back.
Alonso, who plugged in from behind to assist, directly sent the ball out with his foot.
The football rolled into the penalty area. Torres plugged in diagonally behind Pepe to complete the reverse offside position and received Alonso's straight ball.
At this moment, Casillas had also left the goal. He tried to block Torres's shooting angle as much as possible. When Torres adjusted his right foot to shoot, Casillas was already in front of his eyes.
Torres had to choose between bypassing Casillas or directly shooting for the goal, but he chose the latter.
He used the instep of his inner foot to kick the ball to the far corner of the goal. Casillas subconsciously opened his arms to block but missed.
Everyone was watching whether Torres could score the ball, but when everyone saw the football fly out of the end line about twenty centimeters away from the far post, the Liverpool people let out a huge sigh of disappointment, while the Real Madrid fans breathed a sigh of relief.
Liverpool's strong offensive could create dangerous situations, but the threat was relatively weaker compared to their previous offensive that seized the golden opportunity to counterattack.
In the 63rd minute of the game, Alonso passed the ball to Kuyt on the flank from the midfield. Under Heinz's entanglement, both Kuyt and Heinz could not control the ball. Diarra rushed to control the football and immediately instigated a counterattack.
He passed the ball to Snede in the front field.
Snede directly dribbled the ball to the inside line and completed the switch with Qin Xiong.
In front of Arbeloa, Snede stuffed the ball diagonally behind him. Qin Xiong quickly pushed the attack into Liverpool's dangerous zone.
He also led Liverpool's defensive line to retreat.
After reaching the edge, Guti, Guti, the ball diagonally back.
Alonso and Mascherano were already consciously guarding against Real Madrid from creating long shots in the midfield.
So, this time the two men went up to intercept Guti. Even if the interception was unsuccessful, they could not let him complete a threatening long shot.
The two of them did not realize that when they went up to intercept Guti, the gap between Liverpool's defensive line and defensive line formed a natural corridor!
Guti faced the two men's pressing and passed the ball diagonally to Robben, who cut across the front of the penalty area on the right side!
Peter Pan touched the ball with his golden left foot and dribbled the ball in one go. During the dribbling process, Robben looked up to observe the shooting angle.
He came to the right area in front of the penalty area and saw the best angle to shoot. Immediately, he decisively completed a high-quality volley with his left foot!
Reina's line of sight was not blocked. He moved to the left side of the goal after Robben shot, and then tried his best to push off the ground. At the end of his extended arm, his fingertips were only a palm's distance away from the football!
Reina fell painfully in front of the goal line.
Behind him, the football, which hung in the top left corner of the goal, spun on the turf inside the goal!
Robben showed a happy and somewhat savage smile and ran to the sidelines. The Real Madrid players chased after Peter Pan's figure in high spirits.
The fans, who came from all over Europe to Anfield to cheer for Real Madrid, roared ecstatically.
"Robben! Robben! Alger Robben! He helped Real Madrid complete the reversal!
My God, my God, Real Madrid scored three goals in a row from a two-goal deficit in Anfield!
This was Guti's assist. Robben dribbled horizontally in front of the penalty area and volleyed the ball in the best position. The football hung in the corner of the goal. Reina did everything he could, but he really couldn't reverse the situation with this goal!
Liverpool went from 2: 0 to 2: 3. It was a dark and humorous nightmare! "
Benítez's face was livid on the sidelines. He finally showed a drastic change in his expression.
He knew that Liverpool's old problem, no, it should be said that the common problem of the Premier League teams had occurred again!
Emotional!
High spirits sometimes brought a team an increase in fighting power that was difficult to rationally explain.
But sometimes it also made the team blind and vulnerable!
Now Liverpool obviously became emotional because of Real Madrid's consecutive goals and began to lose their mental balance.
They could no longer face Real Madrid as calmly and calmly as they did at the start of the game.
The loss of the third goal made people feel unreconciled, unreconciled!
Even if the Liverpool people gnashed their teeth in hatred, Real Madrid finally completed the reversal at Anfield!
And Liverpool had now put everything else behind them. They just wanted to score, equalize the score, and then reverse Real Madrid!
If they lost 2: 3 at home, could they complete the reversal at Bernabéu?
It could not be said that it was impossible, but the hope was too slim.
After the game resumed, Liverpool invested more in the offense.
In the 68th minute, Arbeloa came up from the flank to assist. He and Kuyt completed a one-two pass, and he went down to the bottom to pass.
Pepe blocked Torres's position behind the goal and headed the ball in a thrilling manner to lift the siege.
He almost headed the ball into his own goal.
Pepe, whose lips were a little pale, calmed down after a few words of praise from Casillas.
Liverpool kicked off a corner kick, and Gerard rushed ahead to head the ball into the goal, which was confiscated by Casillas because the angle was too right.
Real Madrid might not have thought that an attack from a corner kick would allow the goalkeeper, Casillas, to hold the ball firmly in his arms.
After Casillas held the ball, Robben, Qin Xiong, Snede, and Raúl began to run straight forward from various points in the middle of the backfield. Everyone looked back to see how Casillas would deal with the ball.
The Liverpool players were a little scared out of their wits when they saw Casillas holding the ball and rushing to the edge of the penalty area.
Except for Torres, who was ready to interfere with Casillas' kickoff, the other players all rushed to the backfield.
It was too obvious.
If they did not run back, it would definitely give Real Madrid a golden chance to fight back!
