Chapter 329: Fellow Villagers Help Fellow Villagers
By the time Cristiano Ronaldo stopped Bale's cross at the back post, Manuel Blanco in the media gallery was shocked to his feet and stood up.
But he didn't stand up completely straight, but bent his knees slightly, as if waiting for the final result.
Ronaldo then smashed the ball under Bravo's "little goal".
The Camp Nou, which had been lively for almost the entire game, fell into a deathly silence.
Blanco's knees couldn't support his body, and he slumped back into his seat.
Just stared at the stadium in a daze.
The game wasn't over yet, but the time left for Barcelona couldn't have won the game with two goals in such a short period of time unless a miracle happened.
It doesn't mean anything if it's just a draw in the end......
He grasped the railing with both hands, only to feel cold, and he didn't know if it was the iron railing that was cold, or his hands were cold, or his ...... The heart pulls out the cold.
The last thing he wanted to see happened.
But he can do it.
He can already imagine how gloating Atletico Madrid fans would be flocking to his Twitter to sneer at this time......
He may have to stop logging into his Twitter for the time being, as he did last time.
When the shrunken turtle really doesn't solve the problem, but time can dilute everything. In today's world, there is an explosion of information, and countless inquiries come to everyone's eyes every day. Human energy is limited, and it is difficult to keep an eye on one thing for a long time.
So when Blanco encounters a problem that he can't solve, he only needs to pretend to be dead for a few days, and when the limelight passes, there will naturally be many fewer people who come to him for trouble.

"Cristiano Ronaldo!! Strike!! Pretty! He scored the game-winning goal for Real Madrid! In the 86th minute, the goal almost killed the game! While Real Madrid's victory in this national derby may not necessarily lead to the league title, their victory could help Atletico Madrid win the title! He Ping was very excited.
After Atletico Madrid's away defeat to Barcelona and the eventual points overtaken by Barcelona, his eyes fell on this national derby, which in his opinion was the only chance for Atletico Madrid to overtake Barcelona.
I just don't know if their sworn enemies in the same city are willing to help with this.
At that time, He Ping felt that there was very little hope, not that Real Madrid would deliberately lose to Barcelona, just for the good things that would harm Atletico Madrid. The main reason is that he feels that it is very difficult for Real Madrid, who are playing away, to beat Barcelona at Camp Nou, even if Real Madrid has the heart, I am afraid they don't have the strength.
So he is pessimistic about whether Atletico Madrid can win three consecutive titles.
Although Atletico Madrid later saved their hopes for the title by beating Real Madrid in the Madrid City Derby, it still depends on the faces of others.
He can only comfort himself that Atletico Madrid has won two consecutive league titles, which is unimaginable in the era of the Western Super League, and no one has been able to do such a thing as three consecutive championships, so this is not bad.
Let's shift the focus to the Champions League.
Unexpectedly, Atletico Madrid drew Barcelona in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and suddenly his only hope was gone.
During this time, he felt a little unsavory, and he didn't seem to be interested in anything.
After all, he has no hope for this season.
But just when he was at his most desperate, God suddenly gave him hope.
Real Madrid actually led Barcelona 2:1 in the national derby!
As long as Real Madrid can withstand Barcelona's frantic counterattack next, they will have hope of winning this game...... No, even if Barcelona drew again at the last moment, it doesn't matter, Atletico Madrid can still complete the reversal in the standings!
At this moment, He Ping remembered his identity as a Real Madrid fan, and he cheered for Real Madrid in his heart.
In front of the TV, I don't know how many Chinese Atletico Madrid fans cried with joy, and at this moment they also abandoned their hatred for Real Madrid for many years and praised their sworn enemies in the same city.
The friendship between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid was born......

After the resumption of the game, Barcelona, realizing that the sky was about to fall, launched the most fierce attack on the Real Madrid penalty area, hoping to score two goals in a row to defeat Real Madrid before the end of the game.
Zidane waved his hand, and Real Madrid actually set up a bus in front of his goal, intending to hold on to the lead.
Enrique paced back and forth on the sidelines, having used up all three substitutions before Cristiano Ronaldo scored, and now he could do nothing but pace back and forth to ease his inner tension.
At this time, if Enrique had been checked by a heart rate monitor, he would have found that his heart was almost breaking through the sky.
He knows no more than just a national derby, it's a whole season of hard work.
It's not like Barcelona haven't lost at home to Real Madrid, but it can't be this game. If Barcelona are seven or eight points ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid in the league table at this point, losing the national derby will be just a bad night's sleep for him.
But as it stands, if he loses this national derby, he may even lose the Barcelona position!
After all, the background of his replacement from his predecessor Martino was that Martino was robbed of the league title by Atletico Madrid in the penultimate round of the league, and he was tasked with helping Barcelona regain the title.
Last season, I have to say that he did a decent job in the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, winning the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. However, they failed in the league, and they were always leading the league, and in the penultimate round of the league, they were reversed by Atletico Madrid and lost the league title.
Repeating the mistakes of his predecessor.
He wanted to regain the league title this season, and the previous plan was well made, beating direct rival Atletico Madrid at home, and using the opportunity to make up the game to overtake the league points, and then he didn't have to watch anyone's league again, just do his own thing.
The league champions look to be waving at them in front of them.
As a result, in the national derby on his own doorstep, his team was in huge trouble......
He never thought that Real Madrid would be able to lead them away from home!
If he fails to win the league title for two consecutive seasons, with the high standards of a giant like Barcelona, his position may be unstable - he is not coveting the position of Barcelona manager, but it is really unacceptable for him to be ousted from the position because of failure.
If one day he is going to leave this team, it will also be with brilliant achievements, so that everyone will remember him after he leaves, instead of just remembering him as a shameful loser.

Despite Enrique's frustration, despite the fact that every Barcelona player on the pitch attacked like crazy and desperately attacked, and despite the six-minute stoppage time in this game, it was not able to help Barcelona beat Real Madrid at home.
When the referee blew the full-time whistle, boos rang out at the Camp Nou.
I just don't know if the boos are dedicated to the referee, or to Real Madrid, or ...... To Barcelona's own.
"It's over! Real Madrid beat Barcelona 2-1 away! This is a somewhat surprising result. You must know that since 1965, Real Madrid has never reversed Barcelona at Camp Nou! José Maria said excitedly.
And Barcelona's unbeaten record of 34 games at home has come to an end! But none of that matters, the important thing is that they lost the top spot in the league standings! Atletico Madrid had already beaten Real Betis 5-1 at home earlier, and they have 77 points after 31 league games, while Barcelona are fixed at 75 points after losing this game, and they are two points behind Atletico Madrid...... With seven rounds left in the league, they not only have to do their own thing, but also look at other people's faces, which is really like last season. But the only good news is that Barcelona have only one game left after being overtaken last season, and Atletico Madrid's chances of making mistakes are too small. And this time, they have seven games left......"
In front of the television, Simeone seemed to have not heard José Maria's last words, and he was in the living room shaking his fists as if he were boxing against an enemy in the air......
We're bound to make mistakes in seven games?
Wait and see, Lao Tzu's team is stable and terrible!
