The grand occasion of Highbury was unprecedented, and it was originally a game that would make all Arsenal fans nervous.

But tonight when welcoming Real Madrid to Highbury, every Arsenal fan felt extremely excited and relaxed.

It seemed as if I came to the scene with a purely appreciating the competition.

They have no fear of Real Madrid, even though Wenger repeatedly emphasized that Real Madrid has the ability to turn the tables away.

But fans are so confident and relaxed!

For Real Madrid, thinking about how to curb Qin Xiong and Henry is unrealistic in itself.

First of all, their failure in team building strategies in the past few years has led to a top-heavy approach. When it was time to build a fence, they found that there was no suitable materials at all and they were not familiar with how to do it.

Secondly, they are behind three goals, and as long as they still have a little ambition to advance to the quarterfinals, they cannot weaken the offense and invest in defense than in the last game. They failed to break through Arsenal's goal at home in the last game. If they do not increase their offense this round, how can they turn around and advance?

When the players of the two teams lined up to enter the court, they could clearly feel the contrast between their mental temperament.

Arsenal players are full of spirit and confidence, while Real Madrid players are more or less carrying the slums to go out.

"Welcome to the Highbury Stadium, the second round of the Champions League 1/8 finals, Arsenal's match against Real Madrid is about to begin, the score after the 90-minute battle in the first leg was 3:0, Arsenal led Real Madrid three goals. Although the coaches of both sides repeatedly emphasized before the game that the second leg would not be a routine formality game, the British media's predictions for this game were consistent, that is, Arsenal will advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season without any suspense!

Arsenal held a major rotation in the last round of the league in this game, and Qin Xiong did not consume much of the main players. Real Madrid is still behind in La Liga to give Barcelona a huge gap. Now is the most difficult period for Real Madrid in recent years. If it is eliminated today, it may be destined to have no results for three consecutive years, and the chaos within the club may reach one!

Let's take a look at the list of both sides.

Arsenal 451.

Goalkeeper: Lyman.

Defenders: Ebue Toure, Sendros, Flamini.

Midfielder: Lungberg, Fabregas, Qin Xiong, Silva Pire.

Forward: Henry.

Real Madrid 442.

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Salgado, Ramos, Bravo, Carlos.

Midfielder: Beckham, Gravesen Guti, Zidane.

Forward: Ronaldo, Raul."

Real Madrid's lineup seems to be more neat than when they met in the last round, but in the away game, it is difficult for them to control the rhythm of the game after the opening.

Because they are too eager to attack and get a shot and score.

Arsenal did not play too radically at home.

Instead, it focuses on controlling the scene.

Real Madrid's defensive improvements are still targeted.

Qin Xiong will be tripped by Guti, Graveson and Beckham in the midfield.

Beckham simply ignored Pire and gave it to veteran Salgado. Guti didn't care much about Fabregas' forward insertion. Zidane occasionally participated in defense, and most of the time he and Carlos were on the left to create opportunities for the forward combination Raul and Ronaldo.

In the 5th minute of the game, Zidane suddenly transferred the ball to the right after controlling the ball from the left on the frontcourt. Beckham stepped forward and shot straight from a long shot. The football went over the crossbar.

Three minutes later, Qin Xiong encountered multiple double-teams in the middle, and he did not dare to lose the ball easily. So he created an opportunity for Fabregas to step forward, and then he replaced Fabregas. He retreated and replaced Fabregas' defense, allowing Fabregas to control the ball and attack forward.

Fabregas passed the ball to Pire, who cut inside in the frontcourt. Pire could not see the route for Henry outside the penalty area, so he also made a long shot, but unfortunately the shot was too straight and was easily confiscated by Casillas.

Real Madrid seemed to have found a way to curb Qin Xiong after the opening, and it has achieved some results in the early stage.

But as Arsenal gradually improved, Qin Xiong began to frequently switch positions with his teammates.

Among them, he and Piret were the most frequently transferred.

In the 16th minute of the game, Qin Xiong received the pass from Flamini and then drove the ball to the side in the middle, then ran to the side by himself. Beckham followed him like a shadow, and Guti and Gravesen quickly retreated.

Pirey was in control of the ball on the spot and was not in a hurry to push forward the offensive. It was not until Qin Xiong and Bei came near him that he began to cut across.

Beckham did not unswervingly follow Qin Xiong, but Pire felt that he was just right.

When Beibei went to intercept Pire, Pire immediately passed the ball to Qin Xiong who was facing the edge.

Qin Xiong dribbled the ball forward along the side road. He was like a cheetah released from a cage, with an extremely fast speed.

Salgado is already a veteran over thirty years old, and in terms of explosive power, he is definitely not as good as Qin Xiong, who is now alive.

Qin Xiong changed his inward direction when he was still 5 meters away from him. This time, the inward direction was accompanied by an acceleration explosion, making it difficult for Salgado to keep up with Qin Xiong's speed.

Ramos had the lowest score in the game in the last round. He was very afraid of Qin Xiong's cross-cutting change. At this time, he was worried that Qin Xiong would continue to dribble horizontally at the front of the penalty area again and then find a suitable opportunity to take a shot.

Just when Qin Xiong's rhythm of dribbling had a clear pause, Ramos took the initiative to move the center of gravity towards the middle, but Qin Xiong did not continue to move towards the middle, but rushed forward straight ahead. Ramos subconsciously raised his foot to sweep the ball under Qin Xiong's feet. The ball had passed, and Qin Xiong dodged his sweeping legs, but his speed explosion would inevitably decrease.

Salgado and central defender Bravo came to defend Qin Xiong, and Gravesen had already been in the penalty area and stood by Henry.

At this moment, Qin Xiong could barely take a kick, but after looking at Casillas who blocked the near post, Qin Xiong knew that there would be no unexpected gains in barely taking a kick, and his opponent was a world-class goalkeeper.

So he chose to pass the ball at the last minute.

Return to the top of the penalty area arc!

In order to pass the ball in place, he half turned around and pushed the ball out with his arch during high speed running, and then he leaned back and then flipped in the penalty area.

The football rolled through the narrow gap between Ramos and Bravo. Guti was about to intercept him, but Piree rushed out of him and kept shooting with his right foot within a very small range!

Pire's shooting speed is not fast, but his winning lies in the tricky angle!

Casillas ran in a hurry toward the far post, but after running halfway through, he flew out and saved. It was obviously slow. The football hit the inside of the post and bounced into the goal!
Chapter completed!
