Barcelona did strike.

In the 61st minute, Andres Iniesta broke down the right and crossed to create chaos in the Real Madrid penalty area. However, the Barcelona players failed to take advantage of this opportunity, and in the scuffle, it was finally Real Madrid players who cleared the ball.

One minute later, Barcelona switched direction of attack, Ronaldinho received Xavi's through ball, cut inside from the left, and after stepping on a bike, he burst into the box and fell to the ground under the defense of Ramos.

The Barcelona player immediately called for a penalty, but the referee only signalled for the game to continue.

Deco caught up to control the ball, he shook off Gago and burst into the box, and was about to shoot with his feet, but Ricardo, who was back in the box, cut the ball off and immediately passed to Kaka to try to counterattack.

However, when Kaka stopped the ball, he stopped a little wider, and Silvinho immediately got close to him, so that Kaka could not turn smoothly, and the Real Madrid players did not quickly follow up, resulting in the abortion of the counterattack.

Real Madrid could only slow down a few kicks to reorganize the attack, and by this time the Barcelona players had already returned to the defense.

Beckham and Guti were not on the pitch, and Real Madrid mainly relied on Ricardo and Gago to play in the attack.

After all, Ricardo is not a professional playmaker, and Gago did not show the demeanor of "Redondo II" after joining, so this time the organization seemed a little sluggish, and Barcelona was entangled in the midfield, and the ball was changed several times.

But they eventually got the ball up front and into Kaka's feet.

Kaka took the ball and watched for a while, then passed it to Ricardo when he had no choice.

Ricardo controls the ball at the edge of the box.

Marcos and Xavi surrounded them, but neither dared to take their feet lightly. Ricardo's speed is too fast, as long as they make a move, there will be a flaw, and if the flaw is exposed, it will give Ricardo a chance to break through.

Ricardo was in possession of the ball while observing his teammates' movements. Suddenly, he was about to make a move to the left, Marcos followed, Xavi was unmoved, and Ricardo immediately dunked the ball back, and the ball flew between Marcos and Xavi.

Van Nistelrooy turned into a ghost at some point, quietly appeared on the football line, and threw Puyol out of the way. He took the ball and turned around and faced the goalkeeper single-handedly!

Valdés was not in vain after all, he immediately abandoned the door and pounced.

Van Nistelrooy shook his ankle calmly, and the ball flew high above Valdés' head. It's a pick!

Valdés undaunted, stretched out his left hand and blocked the ball, which fell back into the middle of the box.

At this time, Ricardo had already thrown off Marcos and Xavi and rushed to the landing point of the football, he squeezed Silvinho with his body, and with a flick of the header, the football flew towards the empty goal!

"Licardo Goalllll!!!!!!! In the 65th minute of the game, Licardo scored a hat-trick! In this exciting national derby, Ricardo put on a crazy performance! The commentator's voice literally pierces people's eardrums, "This is the fifth hat-trick in the history of the national derby!" Before Ricardo, only Vantollo, Puskász, Lineker, Romario had accomplished this feat! And Ricardo is the youngest of them all! Gentlemen, we are witnessing the birth of a new history! ”

"The last time a hat-trick was in the 90s, when Romario scored three goals for Real Madrid for Barcelona. Now the feng shui is turning, and another Brazilian superstar has scored 3 goals for Barcelona on behalf of Real Madrid! ”

The narrator recounted the greatness of Ricardo over and over again, and Ricardo ran to the dugout after the celebration and said to Capello, "Boss, replace me." ”

"You deserve it." Capello hugged Ricardo and whispered in his ear.

Marcos, on the other hand, crossed his hands on his hips and looked at Ricardo from afar, his eyes confused. He was ordered to freeze Ricardo for this match, but Ricardo scored a hat-trick on him......

Soon, Cassano came on to replace Ricardo. It was another match-up substitution, and Capello didn't intend to recycle the defence when he was two goals ahead.

As Ricardo limped off the pitch as he slowly walked off the pitch, the boos stopped. There was only applause from the Real Madrid fans in the stands, and the Barcelona fans expressed their respect for Ricardo with silence.

Although he is an enemy, he can score a hat-trick in such an important match, and Licardo deserves their respect!

After returning to the bench, the team doctor brought him an ice bucket to soak his feet and gave him a preliminary examination.

"Hopefully it won't affect the rest of the game." Ricardo said with a smile. He is in a very good mood, Barcelona can no longer change the general trend, Real Madrid will definitely take all three points and overtake in the standings!

The team doctor smiled bitterly: "I don't dare to guarantee anything, I have to use the instrument to do a more detailed examination for you when I go back to decide whether you can play in the next game." ”

On the pitch, Real Madrid still dominated. They did not stop attacking and constantly threatened the Barcelona goal.

Maybe they've now understood that at some point, offense is the best defense. In the face of a mortal enemy, you must overwhelm the opponent in momentum.

In the 67th minute, Van Nistelrooy received a cross from Cassano, shook Thuram on the left side of the penalty area and fired a low shot, which was saved by Valdés.

One minute later, Ruud van Nistelrooy pulled to the left and crossed to the middle of the box, where Higuain adjusted and fired a right-footed shot that was blocked by Silvinho before Valdés saved.

In the 72nd minute, Kaka created a free-kick on the right, Cassano sent the ball into the box, Ramos headed in the middle of the box, and the ball smashed heavily on the crossbar, and Barcelona escaped.

Rijkaard grew more and more anxious.

The team was two goals behind, but because of one less man, it was completely suppressed by Real Madrid and could not play a smooth attack. As time passed, their chances of a comeback became slimmer and slimmer!

In the 74th minute, they finally made a kill. Andres Iniesta broke past Salgado with a man-ball and burst into the box to shoot low from the left rib, but the ball went wide of the post.

Three minutes later, Xavi made another kill, he picked out a cross to the edge of the box, Ramos headed the ball wide but did not go far, Marcos followed up with a direct volley, Casillas made a brilliant save, he flew and lifted the ball over the crossbar with one hand.

Real Madrid also had a chance to extend their advantage, and in the 78th minute, Kaka broke the ball in front of the field, and Real Madrid had a godsend of 3 on 2, he passed the ball to Cassano, who nudged it to Ruud van Nistelrooy.

But Ruud van Nistelrooy hesitated in front of goal and adjusted for half a second more. It was this half-second that allowed Puyol to fly to block the ball.

Although they didn't score, there was not much regret on the bench and in the dugout. In this game, the victory is in hand.
