Truth be told, although Real Madrid have always played the side of the eliminated in the Champions League knockout tie with Juventus, two big wins in last year's final and last Wednesday at the Allianz Arena gave the Meilinger reason to be optimistic that their home side could easily progress to the last four.

But the situation of falling behind 0-2 in the first half was indeed something that everyone did not expect before, in the various statistics of the half, Real Madrid were on the dominant side, but the opponent's two goals directly hit their key point, that is, in the absence of captain Ramos, in the case of a huge disadvantage in air defense.

Zizou's response was timely, with the visitors restricting Real Madrid's short passes in the middle and his high pressing strategy barely working, making two decisive changes before the start of the second half, with Vazquez and Asensio coming on to replace the underperforming Gareth Bale and Casemiro. The team's formation then changed from 4-3-3 at the opening point to a 4-4-2 in parallel positions in midfield, hoping to use the impact of the two new forces to break the steel fortress laid out by Allegri.

However, this change was somewhat weak under the strong constraints of Juventus, who led the scoreline, in the middle of the field, and the visitors did a great job of limiting the home team's speed through constant pressing, follow-up and fouls, making it difficult to produce the Real Madrid-style rapid counter-attacks and advances that swept Europe in the previous two seasons. Fortunately, after the adjustment at halftime, Varane and others strengthened their marking of Mandzukic, so that the high school striker, who is always looking for opportunities to rush into the penalty area and outflank the goal at the back post, was a little quieter, and the game situation also formed a tendency to be evenly matched.

In the 49th minute after the rematch, Douglas Costa cut inside the box after a long run down the right flank, and fired a volley that sent the ball away. Three minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo put on a wonderful individual show, he broke through the Chiellini defense with a one-man ball, and hit the right side of the penalty area directly with a small angle of the goal, but unfortunately it was blocked by Benatia who made up the defense in time.

In the 55th minute, Ronaldo sent a half-high ball cross from the left side to the middle of the penalty area, and Vazquez, who was inserted at high speed, was so slow to touch the ball and was hit by Buffon with one palm in the danger area. Vazquez then returned the favor by sending a diagonal pass to the edge of the box on the right flank, and Ronaldo's direct low shot failed to kick the angle and was defused by Buffon on the ground.

On the contrary, Juventus also organized a wave of attacks, putting huge pressure on the home team's goal. In the 59th minute, Pjanic split the ball at the top of the arc of the penalty area, and Higuain, who was about two meters in front of the Bosnian midfielder, ignored the pressure exerted by a number of defenders around him after receiving the ball, and immediately turned around to complete a very sudden volley. Fortunately, Navas's reaction was not slow, and the attack was relatively correct, so this counterattack from the Real Madrid veteran did not succeed.

However, the home team quickly surrendered the ball due to Cristiano Ronaldo's offside, and Juve immediately instigated a positional attack, and after a number of passes, they moved the ball from the left to the right, and when Douglas Costa got the ball on the wing, three visitors had already rushed into the Real Madrid penalty area, causing defenders such as Varane to feel the pressure.

The Brazilian wing-back saw the timing to deliver a 45-degree cross but couldn't get his feet on the way and the ball was met by Keylor Navas near the six-yard line. But under the interference of Matuidi, who suddenly rushed up from the back row, the Costa Rican national goal made a super low-level mistake, and he got out! The French midfielder, who had already rushed to the goal line, quickly turned around and almost lost his balance, and made up for the ball into the empty net before Varane was chasing back.

When the game reached the 60th minute, Juventus completely erased the three-goal gap in the first leg, which made all the fans watching the game look stunned. Miracle appeared on the field of the Champions League for the second day in a row.

Although the Real Madrid players raised their hands to call for Navas's save to get rid of the ball because Matuidi had committed a foul on the goalkeeper, this accusation was not accepted by the referee, and the slow-motion replay of the broadcaster could not clearly discern whether the physical contact between the two men at the time was serious enough to cause the Real Madrid goalkeeper to make a mistake. However, Casillas, who watched the game, once again firmly judged that his successor had lost the confidence to continue fighting, and he was afraid that he would become the number one culprit in today's defeat.

3 to 3, the winners of the six-time Serie A championship showed the world their tenacious and unyielding style and superb tactical literacy, and completed the Jedi counterattack when the situation was not dominant, which is indeed worthy of everyone's admiration. Even the coaches and players of Torino, who are their rivals in the same city, had to take their hats off for their performance tonight.

It's just that as staunch Madridists, the likes of Fambas and Jesse can't help but feel deeply worried about their parent clubs, because after the aggregate equaliser, Juventus became the more psychologically dominant side. Even if the two sides are just back on the same page, Real Madrid still have the advantage of playing at home, but the blow caused by the opponent chasing three goals in a row cannot be ignored, which is too bad for the defending champions.

But at this critical moment, the head coaches of the two teams proved with facts why one person can become the first top coach to lead the team to defend the Champions League since the restructuring, while the other can only dominate at home and can't play on the international stage.

In the face of the underperforming home defence, Allegri failed to take advantage of the victory to try to complete the comeback after tying the aggregate score, and instead opted for a very conservative tactic. Juventus' attacking ambition after the restart was almost completely gone, leaving only Higuain and Douglas Costa to play guerrilla, and the others were recycled to the defensive half, while increasing their efforts to break the home team's attacking organization, for which Sandro and Costa received yellow cards.

On the other hand, Zidane, who also had no way out, still dared to command the team to boldly press the attack when he conceded three goals in a row at home and was forced to the edge of the cliff, and in the 75th minute, Kovacic replaced Modric, who could not run, and continued to maintain enough pressure on the opponent's goal. In the final twenty minutes of the game, Real Madrid dominated more than 75% of the possession and also led the number of shots on goal 6-on-1, taking their fate firmly into their own hands.

In the 68th minute, Asensio's free-kick went over the crossbar. A minute later, Cristiano Ronaldo's cross from the left was cleared by Sandro or Isco, who had cut in forward, could have finished with a close-range finish.

In the 73rd minute, Cristiano Ronaldo's powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area hit Chiellini's leg and flew off the bottom line. Four minutes later, Marcelo split the ball and Isco's long-range shot from the edge of the area was blocked by the opposing player and changed the line, which was defused by Buffon.

Immediately after, Real Madrid sent a tactical corner, Isco passed the ball into the box from the left, and Varane in front of goal turned and volleyed just wide of the post. A minute later, Asensio crossed from the left and Chiellini headed in front of Cristiano Ronaldo, but narrowly missed the ball into his own home.

The home team's continuous attacks have created a threat almost every time, but they always pass by the goal at the last moment, which makes the fans on both sides very anxious. Real Madrid's supporters are worried about whether the players' emotions will be affected after so many opportunities are wasted, and whether the opponent will take advantage of the defensive weakness caused by the heavy pressing; Juventus supporters, on the other hand, feel that their goal is always in such a shaky state, which is too thrilling, and it only takes one mistake to lose all the effort.

However, after 10 minutes of all-out attack, the home team's players were also close to exhaustion, and they had to slow down their rhythm and regain their blood. It's just that time is limited, and they only made a few or three minutes of adjustment before launching the final onslaught.

With the exception of the goalkeeper and two centre-backs, the rest of Real Madrid's squad all pressed past the midfield line, while Juventus seemed to be about to put the bus to the bottom, with Higuain and other strikers frequently retreating to press tactics and disrupt the home team's midfield. In the face of Italy's top defence, even one of the world's best passing masters like Kroos will find it difficult to find a hole in a short period of time, and can only simplify the attacking tactics, which is to constantly attract the opponent's forces on the two wings and on the edge of the penalty area, and create opportunities for Ronaldo, who has already rushed into the box to act as a central striker, to make the most of his individual ability.

In the 86th minute, Carvajal sent a long pass to the penalty area from the right, and Ronaldo, who followed at the back point, pressed Lichtsteiner to complete a header, but unfortunately it was interfered with by the Swiss defender and failed to hit the spot, and the ball flew high into the sky.

By the time the game entered the final minute of normal time, Juventus had completely given up the opportunity to counter-attack, and everyone retreated to their own defensive formation, hoping to hold on to the aggregate score of 3-3 before going through extra-time or even a penalty shoot-out to qualify. Theoretically, this can't be said to be a mistake, but the game of soccer is essentially a game of comparing who scores more goals, and if you give up the attack, you are actually throwing away the sword in your hand, and you can only passively use the shield to resist the opponent's killing moves, and you have already lost in terms of momentum.

And in both Eastern and Western cultures, there are wise sayings such as "where there is a will, there is a way", "where the two meet, the brave wins", it is precisely because the heart is full of infinite desire for victory and the firm determination to control their own destiny that Real Madrid can finally have the opportunity to turn things around and complete their own redemption.

In the third minute of stoppage time, the last few tens of seconds of normal time, Real Madrid instigated the attack from the left, and after two passes, the ball found at the feet of Kroos. At this time, Juve's defenders made a mistake, and no one came up to cling to the home team's midfield engine, so he calmly looked up and observed the movement of his teammates, and found an opportunity to deliver a lethal pick.

Cristiano Ronaldo took advantage of his speed to take the lead in the landing of the right-hand post, and then jumped with all his strength to beat Sandro who was trying to fight for the top and headed the ball towards goal. In the small penalty area, Vázquez was ready to stop the ball on his chest and attack the goal, but just as his body made contact with the ball, Benatia, who rushed up from behind, used an unconventional clearance to disrupt the Real Madrid winger's plan with his protruding left foot. As a result of physical contact between the two men, Vázquez also fell to the ground when he lost control of the ball, and the ball that bounced off the side was caught by Buffon.

Seeing that the last chance to score was ruined by the opponent with a foul, all the players of the home team and tens of thousands of spectators at the scene naturally could not agree, and the deafening boos resounded in the Bernabeu stadium. Thankfully, the referee's whistle sounded just in time, and the 33-year-old Briton Michael Oliver, who had just been promoted to the top referee in January, decisively pointed his left hand to the penalty spot to make the most important decision of his law enforcement career so far.

The Juventus crowd were clearly unable to agree with the decision to be blown off a late minute penalty that almost pushed their team off a cliff, with Gianluigi Buffon, Giorgio Chiellini, Mandzukic and the perpetrator Benatia all surrounding the referee to argue that it was not a foul. Sadly, Oliver was not Italy's local referee Marco Guida, who gave in in almost the same situation when he was in charge of Fiorentina's match against Juventus in February, but the newborn Englishman showed his grit.

Red! At the most critical moment of this much-anticipated focus battle, the visiting team's on-field captain, the retired legendary goalkeeper Buffon, who has almost decided to choose at the end of this season, was directly sent off the field, shocking all the melon-eating people. The official report afterwards said that Buffon used abusive words in his altercation with the referee and made unnecessary physical contact with Oliver, which led to the harshest punishment.

After the penalty was awarded, after a five-minute delay, Ronaldo finally stood in front of the penalty spot. He exhaled and calmly began to run, firing the ball into the top right corner of the visitors' goal, and Szczesny, who had just replaced Higuain, could only sigh at the goal.

After scoring this penalty, the extremely excited Ronaldo rushed to the sidelines and staged a passionate strip celebration show, although he was shown a yellow card by the referee, it was difficult to hide the surging excitement in his heart.

In the end, Real Madrid relied on the penalty kick of the number one star to freeze the score of the game at 1-3, although it was a home defeat, but they still scored 4-3 on aggregate, and entered the semi-finals of this season's Champions League with a thrilling score, and took another step towards the goal of three consecutive championships.

The game undoubtedly became the focus of the world football in the days that followed, and everyone stood up to express their views on whether the penalty was correctly awarded at the last minute. Naturally, the Italians were all on their side, and all the media angrily accused Real Madrid of being biased by the referee and stealing the victory from Juve. Even some Spanish media outlets close to Barcelona and even so-called experts jumped out to claim that Michael Oliver's decision was wrong.

Overall, though, there are more people who agree that Benatia did commit a foul, probably more than seventy percent. Not to mention the tendentious former British whistle Bol, Scholes and others, Zhan Jun, a famous football commentator of the Celestial Empire, also expressed the opinion that there is no problem with penalty kicks during the live broadcast of the game and after the game.

It's just that Buffon suffered such a tragic scene in what may be his last Champions League game, which made many people feel unacceptable, so a large number of fans harassed Oliver's family through the Internet, phone calls or in person, and even worse, some people sent death threats to them, which caused a very bad impact.

On Thursday, Li Mudi, who led the team to the final training session, was also questioned by many reporters before leaving the court, but he was not in the mood to lead the controversy to himself at this sensitive time, so he was all vague. The previous encounter between the two giants of La Liga brought a lot of shock to the Torino manager, and the three-goal lead is no longer very reliable, so tonight's game will have to be more careful.
