Chapter 496 Powerful Barcelona
Chapter 496 The Powerful Barcelona
As the referee blew his whistle, the game officially started.
The atmosphere was very good, and of course most of them were Barcelona fans.
Although there are Real Madrid fans among them, they are still in the minority.
They are eager to see Real Madrid win and end their current decline.
Two consecutive defeats made them somewhat worried, if the advantage they finally established would be reduced like this.
Then Real Madrid's La Liga championship begins to be in doubt again.
If Barcelona can be defeated, the point difference will be widened to double digits.
Xue Yang is not that pessimistic. Although he lost two games in a row before, they all had their own reasons.
The reason for the loss in the first game was that the national team game had just ended and the team was in unstable condition due to travel work.
The second loss was at CSKA Moscow's home court, and everyone knows their home court.
Many strong teams have failed at their home court, so these two consecutive losses do not explain the problem.
Except for Qin Zhen, the other players are in pretty good condition today.
But Barcelona did not agree, and they accelerated the pace of the game as soon as the game started.
Seeing Xue Yang frowning on the sidelines, Barcelona is still Barcelona after all.
Sure enough, their strength is incredible, especially their striker, which is what Xue Yang is most worried about.
Messi is undoubtedly the focus of Real Madrid's defense, but Suarez cannot let it go either.
Suarez is very strong and has great agility when playing football.
Even Coutinho, who later did not establish himself in Barcelona, is still someone who must be defended.
Coutinho's exclusive position is one that cannot be ignored.
Moreover, Barcelona's fighting spirit is very high today, and Real Madrid is currently ranked first in the standings.
Barcelona follows closely behind, and after winning this game, the points difference between the two sides can be narrowed.
As soon as the game started, they picked up the pace.
For today's game, they are bound to win.
Barcelona fans cheered on the sidelines. In their opinion, they had a great chance of winning.
I thought that after Ronaldo left the team, Real Madrid would have no backbone.
But with the addition of Qin Zhen, Real Madrid played very well.
But today Qin Zhen was put on the bench, and today is still their home court.
It can be said that the right time, the right place and the right people made them full of confidence in victory.
Not long after the game started, Barcelona launched a fierce attack.
When the time came to the 10th minute, Barcelona fell in their own half.
Lenglet took the ball and slowly pushed forward. While advancing, he observed the position of his teammates.
He suddenly noticed that Alba, the full-back on the left, suddenly accelerated and sprinted forward.
Lenglet understood the situation and decisively sent a long pass to the left.
These passes are very smart, because Real Madrid's defense did not focus on Alba at this time.
When Alba ran out of position, there were no Real Madrid defenders around him.
Xue Yang on the sidelines couldn't help but stand up. He suddenly had an ominous premonition.
"Defend! Pay attention to defense!"
Xue Yang shouted dissatisfiedly towards the court. He didn't understand why Alba was allowed to run out of such a position.
The Real Madrid players on the court were also shocked.
Carvajal hurriedly chased Alba, but because he had turned sideways in Alba's direction.
It was difficult to pick up speed when he turned around and started running again, so Albala was knocked back quite a bit.
After Alba received the ball, he continued to accelerate towards the penalty area.
Carvajal knew that he would definitely not be able to catch up, so center back Ruben Dias had no choice but to cover up.
Soon Alba dribbled the ball into the left side of the penalty area, and Ruben Dias also came over to defend.
But when Ruben Dias comes in to defend, it also means that the middle will be empty.
This time the attack was too sudden and Real Madrid's defense was not in place yet.
Ruben Dias has no choice in defense this time. If Alba breaks in again, he can definitely take a direct kick.
Even if it is a full-back who has the ball, Ruben Dias does not want to take the risk.
Alba saw Ruben Dias defending and passed the ball directly in an inverted triangle.
He passed the football near the penalty spot because he noticed Coutinho's position and he was near the penalty spot at this time.
Coutinho couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Alba's second pass.
Today's game is so important, as the two top clubs in the world.
To score a goal in such a game is undoubtedly an honor.
The football was passed to Coutinho, and Coutinho didn't hesitate at all.
Instead of stopping the ball and hitting it again, I just lifted my foot and hit it.
The quality of this kick is good, and the ball speed and angle are very good.
Goalkeeper Navas worked very hard to save, but the quality of the shot was really good, and there was really nothing he could do.
The football flew directly into the goal and hit the net hard.
Barcelona leads Real Madrid 1-0!
Barcelona started badly, but it didn't end there.
Only 7 minutes had passed, and De Jong faced Casemiro's pressing with the ball.
I saw him calmly dunk away from the defending Casemiro.
De Jong saw that the left wing was relatively empty and decisively lifted the football to a 45-degree angle on the left side of the penalty area.
Coincidentally, Alba was nearby at this time, and Alba quickly followed.
Facing the football flying over, it was another standard stop.
After stopping the ball, he continued to advance along the wing, and Carvajal rushed to meet him.
Alba had a very clear mind and decisively chose to cross.
However, he did not choose to high-ball the ball because Real Madrid's aerial defense was good.
This is not Barcelona's strength, so Alba chose a low cross.
The football rolled toward the goal, and Suarez had a keen sense of smell in front of the goal.
Suarez accelerated immediately and ran towards the football's defense.
His sudden movement startled Varane.
Varane quickly stretched his legs towards Suarez, hoping to poke the football out of the baseline before Suarez.
But instead of meeting football, he met Suarez.
As an experienced star, Suarez fell to the ground.
And the referee's whistle also sounded in time!
Penalty kick!
Barcelona actually got a penalty kick when they were one goal ahead.
This undoubtedly makes Real Madrid's already difficult situation even worse.
The penalty kick was handed over to Suarez himself. Of course, Suarez would not let go of such an opportunity, even if he faced the wall.
Suarez made a solid penalty kick!
Barcelona leads Real Madrid 2-0!
The score was stretched to two goals, and the situation became increasingly unfavorable to Real Madrid.
