When Southampton's players came on the field, they received warm cheers from the fans.
Their physical fitness is still very good. After all, they only defended for thirty minutes in the first half and often counterattacked. Under such circumstances, their physical fitness did not consume a lot.
When the Real Madrid players came on the field, although the Real Madrid fans were cheering loudly, they were also worried.
Mainly because during the intermission, the commentators' analysis was so annoying...
Although leading by one goal in the first half does not mean victory is guaranteed, the statistics provided by the commentators still made Real Madrid fans tremble with fear.
Of the last seven teams that scored first in the Champions League, only Bayern failed to win the championship in 2012. Of the nearly thirty-six teams that scored first in the Champions League finals, 30 eventually won, and the last team that could reverse a half-time deficit still managed to win.
It was Barcelona in the 2005-06 season. Real Madrid participated in 12 Champions League finals. They won the championship nine times with the first goal, and the other three final defeats were all scored first by their opponents...
According to this rule, Real Madrid is completely out of luck in this game!
Such thoughts make Real Madrid fans quite depressed.
But no matter how depressed they are, they will continue to cheer loudly for Real Madrid.
The second half of the game begins.
The two sides continued to stalemate on the court, and Real Madrid launched an attack, but was met with a frantic block by Southampton in the midfield.
Southampton's midfielder was very proactive in running, which put Real Madrid's midfielder under a lot of pressure. After all, Di Maria is more accustomed to moving on the wing, and only Khedira and Modri were left in the midfielder.
Odd, in this way, the pressure on the midfield becomes even greater.
Real Madrid's offensive can still only be launched from the wing.
Di Maria started to dribble the ball and cut inside, and then was knocked down directly by Casemiro. Real Madrid got a direct free kick of 25 meters. Cristiano Ronaldo hit the goal hard, but Navas narrowly missed it with his fingertips.
beam.
"He's getting better," Benelli said.
Ji Ya nodded. Cristiano Ronaldo was not excited enough throughout the first half. This is normal. After all, he came out of an injury. Under such circumstances, he had to slowly become excited.
The free kick now is of a very high standard, which is enough to prove that he has begun to recover.
Such a superstar can immediately create good opportunities once he returns to form.
Di Maria took a corner kick and Ronaldo volleyed from the front!
Otamendi made up the position in time and used his body to block the ball out of the baseline.
Di Maria took another corner kick, Ronaldo once again grabbed a header from the previous point and the ball slightly missed the near post.
"Cristiano Ronaldo had three shots in just two minutes! I think this is extremely good news for Real Madrid. It proves that Ronaldo's condition has improved!"
Amidst the shouts of the commentator, Real Madrid fans also cheered up - as long as Ronaldo still has fighting spirit, they still have hope!
However, Southampton soon launched a fierce attack.
De Bruyne dribbled the ball directly from the center, attracting a lot of attention. Then he cleverly passed it to Lukaku on the right side of the penalty area. Lukaku dribbled the ball forward. He first made a pass
He made a fake move, then slammed the ball to the side and started to break through.
When Coentrao ran over desperately to defend, Lukaku made an emergency stop, then swiped the ball and forced his way into the penalty area with the ball!
Lukaku's forced breakthrough from the wing caught Real Madrid's defense completely by surprise. After all, when he started to break through just now, his strength seemed to have been exhausted. Where did he get the strength to turn his center of gravity and cut across in an instant?
However, Lukaku's super physical fitness has achieved this!
After the crosscut, Lukaku no longer hesitated, but raised his left foot while running and kicked the ball hard!
This shot close to the corner of the small penalty area made a beautiful arc, bypassed Casillas's stretched out hand, and spiraled directly into the back of the goal!
The Real Madrid fans in the stands were stunned.
The Southampton fans burst into loud cheers!
"The ball... the ball went in! Southampton leads 3-1! This is already a huge advantage! Real Madrid's defense is really bad. It also concedes goals in fast attacks, set pieces and positional attacks.
The ball... is Real Madrid's defense too bad, or Southampton's offense too sharp?"
Amid the shouts of the commentator, Noriya and Benelli high-fived in celebration. It was now the fifty-eighth minute of the game, with a two-goal lead, and Southampton's victory was in sight!
Although there are many great reversals in history, Ji Ya doesn't think his luck will be that bad...
With a livid face, Ancelotti called Marcelo and Isco from the bench and asked them to warm up.
Real Madrid is going to fight hard.
"Do you want to start defending?" Benali asked Noriya.
Ji Ya thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"A two-goal lead is actually not particularly safe. Don't forget Real Madrid's explosive ability and their forwards. At this time, what we need is to continue to maintain pressure on them." Noriya replied.
"Real Madrid has made substitutions! Marcelo replaces Coentrao, and Isco replaces Khedira! This is obviously to strengthen the offense! Marcelo's offensive ability is quite outstanding, and Isco is a player who can
Real Madrid will have to fight hard to organize the players in the middle..."
With the commentator shouting, the game started again.
Real Madrid's offense really started to get better and better.
Ramos assisted the ball on the left and then passed the ball. In the penalty area, Benzema and Ronaldo flew to grab the ball at the same time. Unfortunately, they were just a little short of touching the ball. Luke Shaw immediately made a big kick.
Benzema turned back in the penalty area, and Isco followed up with a long shot, but Navas saved the ball.
Modric distributed the ball, and Ronaldo turned around after receiving the ball, and then distributed it to Bell who came in from the left. Bell did not stop the ball and volleyed directly into the far corner, and the ball went slightly wide.
The continuous pressure made Southampton's defense a little unstable, so they quickly launched a counterattack. Lukaku headed the ball down from behind, and Suarez followed up to receive the ball. Seeing Varane and
Ramos was blocked in front of him, he immediately chose to cross the ball, and Mkhitaryan followed up with a powerful shot!
Casillas made an extremely wonderful save this time. He flew out to save the ball, then reached out to block the ball, and then saved again, firmly pressing the ball under his body!
Mkhitaryan looked up to the sky and sighed. The quality of his long-range shot was still very high, but it was just a little bit behind...
He also wants to score in the Champions League final.
"It doesn't matter, let's continue to attack!" Ji Ya clapped his hands off the court. Attacking twice occasionally can dispel the opponent's arrogance and relieve the pressure on the defense line.
