When Ronaldo created opportunities continuously, Suarez was not to be outdone.
After all, he can be regarded as Southampton's top player, at least in the Champions League.
So he quickly created an opportunity. After receiving Coutinho's pass, he was double-teamed by three opponents' defenders in the penalty area. However, he still created a shooting opportunity and forced a shot, forcing
Navas made a save.
"Concentrate when defending!" Ancelotti yelled angrily off the court. Suarez got the ball in such a dangerous place in the penalty area, but three people double-teamed him and still allowed a goal. This is simply a shame...
Real Madrid's defenders are very depressed. Suarez is a shooter, but he is one of those cunning shooters with good skills and excellent ability to grab points. He basically does not collide with you head-on. To defend such a forward, you really have to be 100% at all times.
It takes a lot of attention.
But it’s very tiring to do this.
Real Madrid's defenders lamented in their hearts, and then began to focus more on Suarez.
However, there is indeed more than one Suarez who can score goals in Southampton!
In the 30th minute of the game, Southampton launched a quick attack. De Bruyne passed the ball directly from the backcourt to the front. Lukaku, who switched to the center, headed the ball hard to the right. Suarez was on the side.
He took the ball and started dribbling it forward. When Real Madrid's attention was on him, he did not cut inside, but focused on the bottom and then passed the ball into the penalty area!
This time, the Real Madrid defender was completely surprised.
They didn't expect that Suarez was really willing to be a winger now, and the pass was also quite good. The ball passed the two defenders in the center, and then flew to the back point, where Mane was outflanking silently.
appeared at the landing point, facing the rolling ball and shooting directly with great force!
Navas' flying save was in vain. When he rushed over, the ball had already roared into the door!
The entire Bernabeu Stadium fell into deathly silence, with only the cheers of hundreds of Southampton fans and the crazy shouts and celebrations of Southampton players on the field!
Suarez completed his second assist of the game.
This makes his value even more outstanding.
This is a shooter who can accomplish greater things even if he doesn't score goals!
In modern football, such a shooter is obviously more valuable.
Leading 2-1 in the away game, leading 4-2 in the two rounds!
This means that if Real Madrid wants to advance, it is no longer enough to score two goals to win this game. They also need to beat Southampton by at least two goals!
At the same time, this goal also meant that the game would not enter overtime.
How could the final result be revealed within ninety minutes?
This situation is of course very detrimental to Real Madrid.
Real Madrid's players launched the attack almost with grief and anger.
Their offensive ability is still quite outstanding.
Marcelo made a pass from the wing, Ronaldo nodded and hit the goal, but Guracchi hit the crossbar.
Modric took a corner kick, and Ramos still grabbed the first shot despite the interference of Wundt, but was successfully cleared by Casemiro who was guarding the goal.
Cristiano Ronaldo received Modric's wonderful pass under the cover of Bale, and then he turned around and shot in the penalty area for the first time. The ball was blocked by Gulacchi who attacked, and it still rolled slowly towards the door. In the eyes of Real Madrid fans
Amid their crazy shouts, Gulacchi quickly stood up, then turned around and flew to suppress the ball under him!
"The ball has been scored!" Countless Real Madrid fans shouted.
However, the following slow-motion replay proved that the ball did not go in - the ball was still rolling on the goal line, and before it completely crossed the line, Gulacchi, who made a reflexive save, reached out and fished it out!
Before the end of the first half, Real Madrid completed its last shot. Ronaldo took the ball from the wing and was brought down by Alonso. The referee awarded a free kick. Modric took a free kick into the penalty area and Ramos, who advanced to assist, flicked the ball away.
Head shot, the ball went over the crossbar.
The referee blew the whistle at the end of the first half, and it was 2-1. Southampton once again led Real Madrid in the away game, which also gave them a sufficient advantage!
"Real Madrid needs to score three goals in the second half and then keep a clean sheet to eliminate Southampton... This is still too difficult. Although Southampton conceded three goals in the half, it is not impossible, but their offense is difficult to deal with.
"Let's see what Real Madrid can do in the second half. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic that they will win this game..." a commentator sighed.
This is actually what most neutral fans think.
Probably only Real Madrid fans still hold on to hope at this moment.
"Don't slack off in the second half. Don't forget, Real Madrid is the team that has won the most titles in the history of the Champions League. They almost defeated us last season. Now we have achieved good results due to various factors, but in the second half they still have a last-ditch fight.
possibility. So we need to be vigilant, but don’t panic because of their goals. Against such an opponent, they will definitely score. What we have to do is to defend ourselves well, and then if there is a chance to counterattack, just do it
They once! As long as our mentality is stable and we play at our own pace no matter what happens, then the victory in this game will definitely belong to us!"
Noriya said in the locker room, waving his fists, while the players shouted one after another, saying that they would not slack off.
Indeed, if you win this game, you will advance to the finals. If you lose such a good situation, wouldn't you be laughed to death by others?
We can't do this kind of thing where we become the butt of jokes and are repeatedly pulled out to be whipped and counted.
Unlike the unity in the Southampton locker room, the Real Madrid locker room is rather depressed at the moment.
The cruel reality is before us. Even if Ancelotti can inspire the team, it will be difficult to inspire the team's morale under such circumstances.
Of course, these top players from Real Madrid will keep their fighting spirit at all times.
Ancelotti didn't say much, but arranged the tactics for the second half, asking them to boldly attack without worrying about the opponent's counterattack, empty Southampton's defense in the penalty area, and then launch a strong attack.
This is the only way. Only by doing this can Real Madrid have a chance of survival.
Defeating Southampton by three goals in the second half is certainly a near-impossible task, but the difficulty is high, so why not do it?
No matter what, we have to fight until the end of the game!
After forty-five minutes, people will be able to see whether they still have a chance to compete for the Champions League this season or whether they will get a result that is all in vain.
In short, this could be their last meaningful forty-five minutes of the season.
