Chapter 988 - Tickets to the finals can be prepared
As the game entered 80 minutes, Real Madrid still did not find a good way to break down Valencia's goal, and the Real Madrid fans in the stands became more and more anxious, knowing that if the game ended with this scoreline, it was basically unrealistic to leave the chance of advancing to the final at the Mestalla Stadium.
Because Valencia has not lost at home this season, except for the loss to Real Madrid in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals in the absence of Elo, and even the number of draws is pitiful.
Wanting to beat Valencia at Mestalla, who have such a good record at home, is a dream.
Losing 1:3 at home means that Real Madrid needs to score at least three goals away from home, and also concede fewer than one goal.
Therefore, Real Madrid fans can only hope that the team they support will equalize before full-time, and at least score a goal......
Otherwise, once you go to the away field, the chances of advancing are only zero.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the team's leading goalscorer, and Real Madrid have relied on him to win many games this season, so the team is in this situation, and Real Madrid fans in the stands can only pin their hopes on the FIFA Ballon d'Or winner......
"- Cristiano Ronal!!"
Seeing that the game time was getting shorter and shorter, the Real Madrid fans in the stands chanted the full name of 'Cristiano Ronaldo' hoarsely, hoping that he could stand up at this time and surprise the team.
In the 87th minute, Real Madrid was ready to play the last card, and Benzema stood next to the fourth official, waiting to play.
At this moment, it happened to be a wave of attack organized by Real Madrid, Xavi Alonso, as the midfield commander, he played a long ball to his own side to attack the left side, Kaka easily unloaded the ball with his chest, Azpilicueta immediately defended it, beware of Kaka cutting in from the wing.
And the Turk Topal also ran over and stood in the defensive ribs.
This not only prevents Kaka from cutting inside, but also prevents Kaka from making quick moves to protect the middle when he passes the ball to the middle.
"-Kaka!!"
With a roar from the Real Madrid TV commentator, Kaka flicked the ball out with the outside of his right foot, and then picked up a hidden cross with his right foot!
Kaka's pass came so suddenly that neither Cesar Azpilicueta nor Topal reacted.
Fortunately, the attention of the central defenders Albiol and Godin was relatively concentrated, and the football happened to fall on Albiol's controllable landing point, so he jumped on the spot and prepared to clear the ball.
But...... Just as Albiol was about to reach the football, a dark shadow flashed in front of his eyes.
"--Whoop!!"
At the same time, loud cheers erupted from the stands.
Even if Albiol thinks about it with his toes, he knows what a dark shadow is in front of him......
Cristiano Ronaldo went from behind and headed the ball into the top left corner of the goal, the so-called absolute dead corner.
With such a close and powerful header on goal, the cheers of the Real Madrid fans were developing into the sound of the goal.
But...... Wang Xiaolei reacted quickly! With a hard tiptoe of his right foot, his body 'swished' out, and his tall arm stretched out extremely in mid-air, rubbing Cristiano Ronaldo's fingertips against the ball in the near corner.
The ball changed its original trajectory, shifted two centimeters upwards, smashed on the top edge of the crossbar, and then flew off the baseline under the gaze of the fans.

“Oh-My-God!! Wang's save can be entered into the top ten saves in this season's Champions League, no...... The first three are all possible! ”
This quote from Sky TV commentator Martin Taylor sums up the sentiments of the commentators in the live commentary seats.
The most excited were the local commentators in Valencia and the Chinese commentators.
Huang Jianxiang stood up violently from his seat and shouted: "Wang Xiaolei has made a meritorious service, he saved Cristiano Ronaldo's must-have goal and saved Valencia!" If this goal is scored, there will be suspense in the second leg of this season's Champions League semifinals, but his god-level reaction ruthlessly kills the suspense! Who says goalkeepers can't turn the tide?? ”
"King, king! Sure enough, it's our patron saint!! ”
At the same time as the live director switched the slow motion, countless Valencia fans sitting in front of the TV collectively chanted Wang Xiaolei's name.
Commentator Canizares saw Wang Xiaolei's god-level save and nodded with a smile: "It seems that my retirement decision is not wrong, Wang is fully capable of growing into the world's No. 1 goalkeeper, his physical fitness is better than mine, his reaction is more agile, and he often has many incredible plays in major games, which is great!" ”
Cristiano Ronaldo, who didn't score the ball, held his head in disbelief, his expression was very painful.
He knows what it would mean if the goal went in......
But the problem is that the ball didn't go in!
"It seems that Real Madrid is powerless." Andy Gray said, shaking his head.
Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, did not appear to be too painful, but shook his head with a wry smile, like Cristiano Ronaldo, who can save a must-score goal...... In Chinese terms, it means that the number of qi is exhausted.
In fact, the second half of the game was not much different from Mourinho's guess.
Although Di Maria was replaced by Benzema a minute later to increase the number of duels in the box, it always seemed that the goal was missing them.
Instead, he was almost hit by a counterattack by Iro.
In the end, when the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the score was still fixed at 1:3
The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.
The game was limited to almost 90 minutes, but it was still three set-piece opportunities to score a hat-trick to help Valencia beat Real Madrid 3-1, and Iello was undoubtedly the man of the match.
As the referee's whistle sounded, Hyde, the commentator of Valencia's No. 1 sports station, couldn't wait to say: "The game is over, the game is over!" Valencia beat Real Madrid 3-1 away from home, which was enough to secure us in the Champions League final at the new Wembley Stadium in 2010-2011! Bat fans, you can book your tickets to the finals in advance!! ”
Real Madrid supporters, on the other hand, are making excuses for Real Madrid's failure, and at the same time firmly believe that Real Madrid still has hope of advancing to the final.
The Real Madrid TV commentator pursed his lips and said: "The game is over, 1:3, a score that is enough to get us out, but we can't give up!" Valencia can beat us at the Bernabeu, so why can't we beat Valencia at Mestalla? As long as we try hard enough! There is still hope for the finals!! ”
