Players from both sides return to the locker room.
The commentator of Madrid Sports Station summarized the first half: “Both sides had several threatening attacks, but neither side could seize the opportunity.
Atletico Madrid's pressing style of play created a lot of trouble for Real Madrid, causing frequent problems with their frontcourt coordination.
Atletico Madrid took advantage of set-piece opportunities to frequently threaten Real Madrid's goal.
There was a fierce confrontation throughout the first half!
Isco failed to show his excellent form in the previous games tonight. His speed of moving the ball was too slow, which slowed down Real Madrid's offensive rhythm.
He had this problem when he was in Malaga.
Ancelotti should consider taking him off to increase the speed of the attack!"
The ESPN TV commentator said: "The first half seemed dull. Both sides were trying to convert the offense into goals. Both Cristiano Ronaldo and Costa missed excellent scoring opportunities!
Simeone will definitely replace Li in the second half, replacing Villa who is in poor condition.
The former Barcelona striker had a lackluster first half!"
The Sky Sports commentator loudly said: "Atletico Madrid lacks a top striker. They had many more scoring opportunities in the first half than Real Madrid! How long will Simeone keep Li on the bench?"
