In the 29th round of La Liga, Real Madrid returned to host Valencia, and they must win this game, otherwise their points lead is likely to continue to shrink, leaving them unable to focus on Champions League games.

However, in the game, Real Madrid was still in poor form and made frequent mistakes.

In the 33rd minute of the game, Sneijder made a mistake, and Villa received a break from David. Silva's through ball was successfully countered offside and the ball was slotted into the corner.

Ricardo immediately led the counter-attack, and three minutes later, he broke down the left and sent in a cross for Raul to head home the equaliser for Real Madrid.

In the 56th minute, Kaka broke through from the middle at high speed and sent a through pass, and Licardo scored his 19th league goal without stopping the ball in the penalty area. Real Madrid achieved a comeback.

The fans at the scene sang and danced to welcome another victory.

Real Madrid's players are also starting to slack off, and in their opinion, victory is only a matter of time before it comes.

However, they underestimated the determination of the Valencians.

In the 64th minute, Valencia counterattacked. Silva dribbled into the Real Madrid penalty area, where Cannavaro was not clean enough to trip him in defence.

The referee immediately awarded a penalty.

Villa took the penalty himself, Casillas made a mistake and the penalty went into the net to give Valencia the equaliser.

At this time, Real Madrid began to be anxious and stepped up their attack.

In the 80th minute, Ricardo received a pass from Kaka and went into the penalty area, facing Valencia goalkeeper Hildebrand, he chose to push the opponent's crotch.

Hildebrand reacted quickly and immediately got down on one knee and blocked the ball with both hands.

Ricardo immediately followed up with a follow-up shot, but his shot was not on target due to the interference of the opposition defenders, and the shot was not good enough, and Hildebrand made a maximum save to keep the ball out again.

Ricardo shook his head incredulously. If you don't score such a goal, what kind of fairy did the opponent worship before the game?

The incredible was still a few minutes away.

Higuain, who came on as a substitute for Raul, was given a one-on-one chance after receiving a through ball from Ricardo. He slid the ball past goalkeeper Hildebrand and fired a shot into the open from a tight angle, only to be blocked by returning defender Albiol on the goal line.

Real Madrid, who had squandered chances in a row, were finally punished, and in the 89th minute, Miguel sent a long pass from the midfielder, and Arismendi took the ball to get rid of Cannavaro and burst into the right side of the penalty area. Casillas misjudged and thought his opponent was ready to cross, so he moved quickly to block Arismendi's cross, but Arismendi unexpectedly chose to shoot from a tight angle, and the ball rolled past Casillas' leg and into the net.

He killed the game!

The Bernabeu was silent.

This is the first time this season that Real Madrid have been overturned at home.

Real Madrid, who have lost two games in a row, have reached the edge of the cliff, although Sevilla drew this game and still have a three-point gap with Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid won smoothly and climbed to second place, and the gap with Real Madrid has narrowed to two points.

Real Madrid can't afford to make another mistake.

In his post-match press conference, Manuel Pellegrini took responsibility for the defeat, saying: "The lads worked hard in this game and the main responsibility for the loss lies with me, there are no excuses. ”

"After taking the lead, I made some wrong judgments; The players' concentration dropped and I didn't adjust in time. For various reasons, we were overturned by our opponents. This is unforgivable. ”

Pellegrini also did not criticize Cannavaro's poor performance, "Fabio was not at his best, but he also contributed to the team. We all know that he's a champion-caliber player and he can figure out how to get back into shape. ”

In fact, Pellegrini has already been in contact with Mijatovic and will sell Cannavaro at the end of this season, and Cannavaro's performance this season really does not deserve his high salary.

In the next round, Real Madrid will face direct rivals Sevilla at home.

If the problem at the back is solved, it will be a headache for Pellegrini.

Real Madrid's current offensive ability is undoubted, whether in La Liga or in Europe, it can be said to be devastating, there is no goal that Ricardo, Ronaldo, Raul, Van Nistelrooy, and Kaka cannot break.

But even if you can score two goals against the opponent, the back line has three consecutive big gifts, which is quite embarrassing.

If you make that mistake again against Sevilla, the league title will fly away.

So in these few days of training, Pellegrini paid close attention to the team's defense.

As for Cannavaro, although he is not in good form, Real Madrid is still inseparable from him.

Metzeld, who signed this season, has been too disappointing to take Cannavaro's place.

The most difficult thing for Pellegrini is that after playing Sevilla on the night of March 29 and Manchester United on the night of April 1, there is only two days of rest in between, which is a huge test of the team's fitness.

Should the main players be played against Sevilla?

Of course, the league championship cannot be lost, this is the basic plate of the team, and there is no room for loss.

Of course, the Champions League is also very attractive, they have already reached the top 8, and no matter how hard they work, they may enter the top 4 and enter the final, who can resist such a temptation?

Pellegrini squinted behind his desk and thought for a long time, finally asking the team doctor to provide him with a detailed report on the player's physical condition.

He makes a decision based on the report.

According to the report, Ronaldo is still quite fit. He has started just one of his last three league games and it is only natural to maintain that fitness.

Ruud van Nistelrooy is also not bad, he has been rotating with Ronaldo this season and has maintained his fitness relatively well.

Kaka is a bit hanging, his physical fitness is very dangerous, his muscles are also very tired, and if he continues to fight, there is a high possibility of injury.

It's the same with Ricardo, who is a little better than Kaka, but his muscles are also tired and the risk of injury has increased dramatically, in fact he now has a slight ankle injury.

Raul is in good form, Arjen Robben has a minor injury but it doesn't affect his appearance, and Higuain, Guti and Sneijder are all fit. Gago is in good shape, Diarra is very tired, Ramos is a little injured but can continue playing, Marcelo is in good shape, Cannavaro is tired but he can't rest yet, Pepe, Metzelde, Salgado and M. Torres are not in the physical condition required to participate in the official competition......

Manuel Pellegrini has finally made a decision.

Ricardo is indispensable to the team, even if he is injured, even if he is not physically good, he is a deterrent to the opponent as long as he is on the field.

Ronaldo is better suited to play in the Champions League, so leave the league to Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Sneijder up front and Robben on the right winger. The double midfielder uses Gago and Guti.

Defenders use Marcelo, Cannavaro, Heinze, Ramos.

This squad copes with Sevilla FC and is enough.
