Dolberg, Malcom, Artur, Coutinho, plus Spanish player Abel Ruiz, who played as the center forward in this game, Barcelona's midfield combination is not as dominant as Dream 2 and Dream 3, but it is also extremely competitive in today's European football.

Speed, imagination, dribbling skills, teamwork, in every link, they can't be said to be the best, but they can also rank in the top five or even the top three, so in terms of comprehensive ability, at least in this season, except for a few top teams such as Manchester City and Real Madrid, there are few opponents who can compete with them.

Therefore, no team can afford to be a little slack in defense against Barcelona, otherwise it is likely to pay a heavy price.

No, just as the Real Madrid fans were still feeling encouraged by the brilliant attacks that had missed the goals on the previous two occasions, the visitors started their comeback process by kicking a short ball from the goal. Coutinho, who had been holding the midfield since the opening, suddenly stepped forward, and after hitting the wall with Carles Alenia and Artur, who had played as a central midfielder, he hit the wall and hit the dangerous area ten meters in front of the Real Madrid penalty area, facing the home team's defender Marcos Llorente.

The 29-year-old is an active Spain international, and although he has not been able to be reused by his parent club in the early middle and early stages of his playing career, he is clearly an extreme Real Madridist born in Madrid, and even though many teams have expressed their willingness to provide him with a main position, he still stubbornly stayed at the Bernabeu, and finally waited for Guti, who shared his language, and secured a solid place in the team in one fell swoop.

His technical characteristics are unpretentious, and he can be used as a defensive gatekeeper who is not afraid of physical confrontation when the team needs it, and can also use his excellent long passing skills as a metronome in the midfield, and the word "offensive and defensive" is very apt for this player.

But even such an excellent midfielder with outstanding ability was in front of Coutinho, who had magician-like gorgeous footwork, and was distracted by the latter's small bull's tail after pedaling a bicycle and lost his center of gravity, and could only watch the Brazilian pass by his left side, and his attempt to pull the foul failed to succeed, which can be said to be completely humiliated.

To make matters worse, Llorente is the last barrier in front of Real Madrid's back line, and his easy loss means that opponents can directly attack the two centre-backs, which is definitely a challenge for the home team.

Fortunately, Raphael Varane and Vallejo, who started the game, withstood the test, and with Coutinho's breakthrough route almost in the middle of the two, the French veteran did not hesitate to press forward to intercept, and almost at the moment he started, Vallejo began to leave the space for his teammates, because the visiting striker Ruiz had accelerated forward from outside the penalty line and had to be closely marked.

Ku Bird's handling was also very subtle, first forcing Varane to take his position with a slow-down action, then distracting the latter with two subtle feints, and after waiting for Ruiz to run to an ideal position, he sent an imaginative diagonal pass with the outside of his right foot to help his team-mate get a direct kick on the right side of the penalty area about 12 metres in a straight line from the centre of the goal.

Just as Abel Ruiz prepares to volley with his right foot without stopping the ball, Vallejo's tackle interception is on point, and the momentum of the Spain international's rush forward can be seen from the obvious gap left in the turf in the Real Madrid penalty area.

As a result, his desperate tackle finally made a meritorious contribution, and at the moment when the Barcelona striker's explosive action was completed, Vallejo's consciously raised left leg arrived, just in time to touch the disemboweling shell, changing its flight trajectory.

Because Ruiz's power was very sufficient, the refraction still flew towards Real Madrid's goal at a slow speed, but Courtois was unable to react in a short time because he had already made a predetermined move, and could only watch the ball run towards the back post of his own goal in a slightly higher arc.

In less than a second, the entire Bernabeu stadium fell into a deathly silence, and even the faintest breathing almost disappeared. After the ball flew off the baseline five centimeters above the crossbar, a loud and uniform exhalation came from the audience.

But before the fans could calm down their nervousness, a new situation appeared in the stadium, and many Barcelona players rushed to the referee Manzano to signal that Vallejo's tackle just now was a foul and should be awarded a red card and a penalty. Some of the Real Madrid players went to refute, some returned to their own penalty area to viciously accuse Ruiz who fell to the ground holding his left foot in pain, and Aaron, who had the most hot temper, even tried to pull up the Barcelona striker while angrily denouncing the opponent's fake fall.

From the slow-motion replay broadcast by the broadcaster in time, the viewers who were watching the live broadcast signal could clearly see that Vallejo was suspected to have touched the opponent's lower body with his right leg clinging to the turf in the flying shovel just now, but due to the angle and the fact that he had made a deliberate avoidance, it is still difficult to judge whether this can be regarded as a foul. As for whether this level of collision will cause Ruiz the damage of his current pain expression level, most neutral fans will still evaluate it with the sentence "worthy of graduating from La Masia Film and Television School".

Of course, we can't just look at the 24-year-old striker who has been in the Barcelona academy since the age of 12 based on past impressions, in case some parts of his right foot are really more fragile than ordinary people, this is also a matter of inaccuracy!

But at least at this moment, all the Real Madrid coaching staff, players, including the 80,000 spectators at the scene, expressed their strong feelings in their hearts with indignation at the shameless behavior of the opposing players, that is, scolding loudly. Even Li Mudi couldn't continue to calm down, he first rushed to the sidelines and made a relatively mild gesture of disdain in the direction of his own penalty area - thumbs up, the main reason is naturally that the action of playing the umbrella is too unsightly, and it will definitely attract greater criticism. He then turned to the front of the fourth official, and through the latter, put pressure on the referee on duty, hoping that the person who faked the fall would get the punishment he deserved.

In the end, the Real Madrid coach deliberately frowned and shook not far from Xavi, who was also standing on the sidelines, and made a gesture to his direct opponent, intending to show the other party that this kind of fake fall behavior is too immoral, can you only rely on this shameless way to fight us?

His expression was captured by the camera, and then screenshotted and saved, and added to the emoji, which became a weapon used by Real Madrid fans to satirize the number one sworn enemy for a long time afterward, and naturally attracted the hatred of more Barcelona supporters for Li Mudi, but that is all for later.

Returning to the game, Manzano deserves to be the number one referee in Spanish football today, and quickly used a tough attitude to drive away the players on both sides around him, and then went to the place of the incident to inquire about Ruiz's condition, and after the latter got up with difficulty and insisted on limping back to the midfield, he blew the whistle to continue the game, and the conflict was temporarily resolved.

It's just that this result is not very satisfactory for both teams, and it also caused the confrontation to further escalate, almost turning this global national derby into a farce.

After the game resumed, the scramble between the two sides began to intensify, and Fabas and Dorberg were punished with yellow card warnings for exceeding the referee's size, which avoided further deterioration of the situation on the field.

In the 37th minute, the home side took the lead through a slightly unexpected opportunity, Asensio sent a hidden through ball on the left side of the box, Rodrygo got up to the left side of the box, and used a quick stop to pull the ball to shake off the space and send an inverted triangle cross, the target was the open area between the Barcelona defender and the midfielder who had returned.

This routine is a very popular attacking tactic in today's football, especially for teams that do not have a good goal-grabbing centre-forward, and it is a strategy they use many times in every game, so Barcelona are on guard. I saw that when Mbappe, who moved from the right side to the front of the penalty area, ran to the receiving position, the visiting left-back Mark Cucurella, who had been keeping an eye on him, also followed him to the middle, just to prevent Real Madrid's move.

After the intention was revealed, the home team's attack was actually considered a failure, and the next best option was to pass the ball back to the midfield and reorganize. However, Mbappe had an idea, when he took advantage of his position to touch the ball first and stop it firmly at his feet, he wanted to deceive his opponent by using a fake knockback, and then immediately smashed the ball with his left foot to complete a 180-degree turn in an attempt to form a frontal breakthrough.

Unfortunately, Cucurella's attention was kept at a very high level, and he reacted instantaneously to disrupt the French star's plan with a big step up. The ball was blocked by the former's toe and flew away from the Barcelona penalty area until it was 34 or 5 meters from the goal, where it was collected by Marcos Llorente, who cut forward.

I saw that the Real Madrid midfielder took advantage of the impact of the ball, and directly kicked a powerful long-range shot with his right foot after calculating the trajectory of the ball, this heavy artillery with obvious external rotation with its amazing speed and very strange flight trajectory, almost in an instant crashed into the upper right corner of the Barcelona goal, even if Ter Stegen had tried his best to get out of the flying save, he could only do it once.

World Wave! Even the kind of super goal that can be selected into this year's FIFA Puskas best goal shortlist, and the goalscorer is Llorente, who likes long-range shots but is difficult to gain in an average season, which is worthy of the miracle of the blossoming of the iron tree!

The boiling Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, the players of all the home teams, including goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois, pounced on the Spanish international, who even found him unimaginable, as well as the exaggerated celebrations of Real Madrid's substitutes and members of the coaching staff off the pitch, were all captured on camera and became an invaluable tidbit for the club's extreme supporters in the future.

1-0, Real Madrid, playing at home, finally took the lead, which is undoubtedly great news for them who are already good at quick counter-attacks, and the balance of victory has been greatly tilted in favor of the home team.

However, the situation after the restart was beyond most people's expectations, and Li Mudi did not give the order to recover, but continued the strategy of maintaining enough firepower on the offensive end after the opening, which even Antonio Pultz, a veteran commentator on Spanish national television, found a little puzzled. Even if his mind once flashed the sentence that the Real Madrid coach seemed to emphasize before the game would make Barcelona cry and leave the Bernabeu, but this kind of obviously psychological warfare characteristics of no one will really believe it, after all, this is a key matchup that will determine the ranking of the two teams in the league standings, how can the world's best coach be "confused" at this moment?

It's just that he obviously still hasn't understood Li Mudi's intentions, and the Real Madrid coach needs to win this national derby, which is undoubted, but if he can defeat the sworn enemy with a large score or a big advantage on the field, this is also a task that is no less important than the former.

Because after Atletico Madrid suffered a trough, this season's La Liga league has actually returned to the rhythm of the two top two in the Spanish Super League in the past, as long as they can overpower each other, they can win the honor of the league championship, which is something that Li Mudi and Xavi and even many people know well.

However, due to the fact that Real Madrid has been suppressed by Barcelona in the past two seasons, it is inevitable that they will be inferior in terms of mentality and momentum in the competition. Therefore, in the case of the overall strength difference between the two sides is very weak, Li Mudi needs to use a complete victory in a direct dialogue to resolve the demons for his players, only if they can recognize the reality and correct their mentality, Real Madrid can play a stable state in the long season, and then the goals set before the season will naturally be possible.

Therefore, after taking the lead, the home team did not take the opportunity to put on their best counter-attacking tactics, but continued to invest heavily in the front, hoping to take advantage of Barcelona's eagerness to equalize and find a good opportunity to score again, and strive to seal the victory before half-time.

So a wonderful quick offensive and defensive battle was staged.
