Chapter 535 - Free kick in stoppage time
Messi is not an outgoing person.
Even if he misses a penalty, he will not either hold his head in frustration or throw his fist to vent like everyone else, but just bow his head in silence.
His Barcelona teammates were also dumbfounded.
Everyone didn't expect that Messi, who has always been sure of penalty kicks, would miss a penalty in such a Spanish national derby.
Even if this goal is scored, the team's fiasco is irreversible, but at least it can narrow the point difference and avoid being shaved by Real Madrid!
Fortunately, the fans in the stands are now not only celebrating with their hands open and five fingers, but also laughing at Messi in passing.
The Real Madrid players on the field naturally felt like they had risen from hell to heaven, and they rushed to the goal to hug and celebrate with Casillas.
Cassie's save was simply too crucial.
Next, it was Barcelona's turn to take the sideline ball.
Obsessed with scoring a goal to save face, Barcelona's overall formation pressed forward, and even central defenders Puyol and Pique pressed near the halfway line.
However, any fiasco on the football field is bound to be accompanied by bad luck.
In the 89th minute, Cesc Fabregas's long-range shot from outside the forbidden area almost penetrated Real Madrid's goal.
As a result, Casillas didn't save the ball, but the ball hit the right post by itself, slammed to the other post, and then bounced back into the forbidden area, and Lu Wenbin, who was withdrawn to participate in the defense, took the lead to grab the landing point and kicked out of the forbidden area to clear the siege.
Real Madrid fought back.
However, this counterattack Lu Wenbin retreated too deep and failed to participate in the counterattack, and Benzema's dribbling was finally broken and stabbed away by Ramos, and the counterattack failed.
The game continued and by the 90th minute, the linesman raised the stoppage time sign and there were five minutes of stoppage time.
In addition to Andres Iniesta's cramp leaving the field in this game, Di Maria also slipped and injured himself on the sideline and continued to play after receiving treatment.
Moreover, the conflict of the derby is not as calm as the author's pen, only ornamental goals and assists.
There were a lot of clashes between the players on the pitch, and there was a lot of delay, and several people from both teams received yellow cards.
Therefore, five minutes of stoppage time is a reasonable amount of stoppage time.
Barcelona used the final five minutes to launch a general attack in an attempt to score a face-saving goal.
However, from the 21st second of the first half, Barcelona has been in a passive situation, both offensively and defensively.
As a result, the physical exertion of all people is very high.
Busquets, in particular, ran the whole game with Lu Wenbin, who was full of physical fitness, and occasionally participated in the attack.
In the 92nd minute, Busquets finally collapsed in a scramble with Lu Wenbin and never got up.
Following Andres Iniesta's departure, Sergio Busquets also suffered leg cramps.
Moreover, Lu Wenbin's scramble with him did not reach the level of foul, and the referee did not even take out a yellow card, so the game continued, and Busquets's end was only a free kick in the middle of Barcelona in exchange for a midfielder.
Although Mascherano, who replaced Busquets, is also a defensive midfielder, seeing that the game is still over in two or three minutes, Guardiola did not expect Busquets to have a big leg cramp at all, and he was not ready to replace Mascherano on the field.
Before the substitution, although Mascherano was warming up with his substitute teammates on the sidelines, he was actually not attentive and watched the game on the pitch from time to time.
The game was coming to an end, and he didn't expect to have a chance to play in this game.
As a result, Mascherano, who had just come on the pitch, looked a little uncomfortable.
The game restarted and Busquets' free-kick gave Barcelona another chance to attack.
However, Barcelona's attack was cut off by Khedira and passed to Lu Wenbin before it could form a shot again, and Real Madrid began to counterattack.
As a result, Mascherano, who was supposed to be the first line of defense, had to slow down Lu Wenbin's speed, but was shaken to the ground by Lu Wenbin's simple smash of the ball.
The warm-up was not sufficient, and he had just come on the court, and he had not yet adapted to the rhythm of the game, so he grabbed too much, and was caught off guard by Lu Wenbin and fell to the ground by a smash.
Although Mascherano didn't fall completely, and got up with his hands on the ground and desperately chased back, Lu Wenbin had already broken through his defense and rushed towards Barca's half.
With Lu Wenbin's speed, even if he runs with the ball, it will be difficult for Mascherano to catch up with him.
Originally, Barcelona was attacking, pressing forward in formation, and Mascherano was broken through as soon as he saw it, which failed to slow down Lu Wenbin's speed, allowing Real Madrid to get the opportunity to play three in the front.
Benzema rushed towards Barcelona's forbidden area, forcing Pique to follow Benzema back, leaving Puyol alone to defend Lu Wenbin.
Another defender, Abidal, had to defend Cristiano Ronaldo who rushed up from the left.
In a one-on-one duel, this time Lu Wenbin did not pass the ball out, and he observed the position and center of gravity of Puyol, who was retreating and defending, while dribbling the ball.
Puyol's natural speed while retreating and defending is not as fast as Lu Wenbin's.
Soon, the two were about to make contact, and Puyol had no choice but to make a sudden stop, and one suddenly fell to the ground to tackle, trying to stop the ball.
However, Lu Wenbin's reaction was quicker than Puyol's.
Before Puyol tackled the ball, Lu Wenbin touched the ball early and stabbed the ball away.
However, although he stabbed the ball, Lu Wenbin also failed to break through.
He was tackled down by Puyol's raised foot.
Puyol's idea was simple.
Now it's Real Madrid's quick counter-attack, and Barcelona don't have enough defenders at the back. Pique and Abidal are both marking, there are no defenders behind him, and Lu Wenbin is about to form a single knife when he breaks through.
Therefore, he would rather raise his foot to shovel Lu Wenbin down and be judged to be a foul than let Lu Wenbin pass.
Although he knew that Lu Wenbin's free kick goal rate was very high, after all, it was not as high as Lu Wenbin's single goal rate.
Therefore, Puyol did not hesitate to foul and raised his foot to tackle Lu Wenbin, stopping Lu Wenbin's attack.
Puyol's foot-lifting foul was too obvious.
The referee rushed up and gave him a yellow card without hesitation.
Coupled with the yellow card he received for a foul on Cristiano Ronaldo in the previous one, Puyol turned two yellows into one red and was shown a red card and sent off, while Real Madrid got a free kick opportunity about 32 meters from the goal to the right.
Lu Wenbin's own chances, coupled with the fact that everyone knows his free kick skills, naturally no one will rush to take this goal.
Since Lu Wenbin came to Real Madrid, Real Madrid's first set-piece penalty taker has become Lu Wenbin, and even Ronaldo has not been able to express any opinion.
Lu Wenbin's set-piece goal rate is so high that Ronaldo can't even object.
