With Manchester City taking the lead after three minutes, it was a tough game for Real Madrid.
They were already two goals behind on aggregate, and even if City didn't score a single goal and they recovered the gap to tie the aggregate at 3-3, it wouldn't have allowed them to advance, they just dragged the game into extra time.
Unless they score three goals in a row for the remainder of the game and don't let City score again.
Scoring three goals in a row is not a difficult task for Real Madrid, but it is necessary to keep Manchester City from scoring...... That's hard.
Doing both at the same time doubles the difficulty.
What's more, the feelings of the Real Madrid players are not very stable now, and their thoughts do not agree.
Cristiano Ronaldo naturally wanted to score an equaliser, and he believes he has what it takes.
The defenders want to stabilize first, lest Manchester City score another goal, and the game will be completely over.
In such a situation, the two sides are not in line with their thinking, and Real Madrid is playing very poorly.
Manchester City, on the other hand, took advantage of the disunity of ideas on Real Madrid's side and launched a fierce offensive against Real Madrid's goal.
Almost scored another goal.
If it weren't for Casillas saving Ibrahimovic's shot......
City's fierce attack didn't last long, and after ten minutes, the attack stopped.
Manchester City also know very well that if they continue to attack like this, they will only give Real Madrid more counter-attacking opportunities, so they will take it as soon as they see it. If you can score in those 10 minutes, it will be a good thing. But if you can't score, it's not a big deal, anyway, now that Manchester City are two goals ahead, they don't need so much of a goal.
Now they don't have to rush at all.
Then City began to regain and play a defensive counter-attack.
They ceded possession to Real Madrid, let them attack, and they were in charge of counter-attacking.
The posture is out, and even fools can see what Manchester City wants to do.
Now the ball has been kicked to Real Madrid, and it is Real Madrid's turn to make trouble......
The attack is definitely going to attack, but after the attack, what if you are counterattacked by Manchester City?
Even the commentator of Radio Marca was silent, knowing that he had always been talking about it before.
Mourinho was quick to make a decision - attack!
At this time, he didn't think about Manchester City's counterattack.
In addition to attacking, Real Madrid is a dead end, of course, the attack may also die, but at least there is still a chance to live.
With Mourinho's character, he is never soft when it comes to gambling.

So soon Real Madrid unified their minds and began to launch a fierce attack on Manchester City's goal.
Manchester City, on the other hand, played the counter-attacking style they are good at.
Judging from the scene, it is wonderful. Real Madrid, who are attacking with all their might, can still threaten the Manchester City goal after they are on fire. And Manchester City's counter-attacks will also make Real Madrid fans go into cardiac arrest from time to time.
Both sides did their best.
At the end of the first half, Real Madrid's successive attacks finally paid off, with Cristiano Ronaldo receiving Mesut Ozil's cross from inside the box before leaping high to beat Godin and head home.
It was as if a volcano had erupted throughout the Bernabeu, and the cheers of the Real Madrid fans were deafening and incessant.
"Chris! Christie! Cristiano! Cristiano Ronaldo!! The Marca radio announcer was back to life, and he shouted hoarsely. He's a hero of Real Madrid! Now we are only one goal behind Manchester City! ”
'It was such a blessing for Real Madrid to be able to equalise in the first half, and now the anxious Real Madrid players can go to the dressing room with a relatively calm mind and prepare for their second half...... Real Madrid has gained a precious respite. ”
"Ah...... Manchester City didn't hold on in the end, and were scored by Real Madrid at the end of the first half......" John Mortensen's tone sounded a little regretful. 'They are now only one goal ahead of Real Madrid and the morale of Real Madrid who scored is high, who knows what will happen in the second half?'
※※※
At halftime, in the dressing room of Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo's goal really boosted the morale of the players, and everyone's sentiment was very high, otherwise, the dressing room should be quiet like a hospital morgue now.
On Manchester City's side, Benitez is comforting his players: "It's no big deal, we still have a goal ahead now, we have to continue to play defensive counterattacks in the second half, and we must not let go of the opportunity!" ”
The fifteen-minute intermission was fleeting.
Players from both sides walked to the pitch through the guò road.
As Glory walked to the pitch, he spotted Cristiano Ronaldo at the exit of the corridor. The Portuguese seemed to be waiting for him, and when he saw him coming, he stood at the top of the steps, looked at the glory condescendingly, and then snorted, and turned away triumphantly.
Glory could feel Cristiano Ronaldo's "hum" and the meaning in his eyes.
This seems to be a statement that shows that he is no worse than himself.
Rongguang ignored him, lowered his head and stepped onto the steps, stepping onto the court step by step.
I really don't know what a laggard has to be proud of......

The second half began, and the atmosphere at the Bernabeu was noticeably much hotter than it had been for most of the first half, with Real Madrid fans singing and chanting slogans in the stands.
And the performance of the Real Madrid players is also much better than before.
If they continue to play like this, everyone believes that Real Madrid can really equalize.
It was Real Madrid who had possession for the opening five minutes, and in the sixth minute, they had their first shot of the second half, but this time it flew over the crossbar and did not threaten Joe Hart's goal.
It was City's turn to keep the ball.
City then attacked.
Because of Real Madrid's fierce attack, Manchester City did not press on the attack. Even if they don't fight back, they don't have many troops to attack, so to ensure that once the attack is over, Real Madrid will not fight back quickly. They have to make sure they have enough people at the back.
Manchester City's attack was not fast - Real Madrid were quick to replay at this time, and they couldn't play a quick counter-attack because there wasn't enough space.
In such a situation, Manchester City simply did not rush and slowly pushed forward, looking for this opportunity.
Possession can also delay a little longer and allow the game to pass in this kind of possession. Anyway, maintaining this score will be a good result for Manchester City, who will eliminate Real Madrid.
Glory won the ball on the wing, Ibrahimovic dropped back from the middle, and Kaka was on the other wing.
There is a Real Madrid player in front of Rongguang, and there is also a Real Madrid player stuck on the inside.
In the face of such a defensive battle, Rong Guang was not afraid - he had long been used to it.
I saw him make a move to drill through the gap between the two defenders to the middle, and the two Real Madrid players quickly moved closer, trying to cut off the breakthrough of glory.
But Rongguang's foot only went around the football and did not touch the football, and his body twisted was just a feint.
Then he looped his right foot back and flicked the ball outward with the outside instep, and at the same time, his body also twisted back, turned and broke forward!
Glory who shook off the angle did not dribble the ball directly, but passed the ball sideways just after he had just passed the defender.
The ball rolled against the turf towards the middle and was picked up by Ibrahimovic.
After passing the ball, the glory did not stop, but continued to run to the middle.
Ibrahimovic, who had his back to the attack, did not covet possession, but directly used the outside of his left foot to give the ball to glory again.
As soon as Rong Guang received the ball, three Real Madrid players surrounded him.
Everyone knows how powerful Glory is, and in this position he is actually in his effective range, as long as he gets up and shoots, he may pose a threat to the goal guarded by Casillas.
"Rong got the ball, will he break through......"
Before John Mortenson could finish speaking, he saw Glory kick the football.
But not a shot, but ...... Pass!
Rong Guang picked up the football, and the ball flew past Real Madrid centre-back Pepe, who was in front of him, and flew directly to the other side of the penalty area.
Everyone's eyes shifted along with the football, and they saw that Kaka had entered the penalty area at some point, and raised his foot to unload the glorious pass steadily!
Kaka, who had no one to defend, stopped the ball.
"Kaka!!"
The commentator of Radio Marca shouted in horror, and there was a wave of boos in the stands.
But Kaka was not disturbed by these boos, he directly raised his right leg and kicked the ball that had just stopped!
Kaka unleashed an arc past Casillas, who was flying in the air, and headed straight for the back corner of the goal!
In less than a second, the ball hit the net!
Goal, scored!
"Kaka! Kaka! Kaka!!! John Mortenson shouted excitedly, "Kaka! He broke the Real Madrid fans again for Manchester City!! Now Manchester City have once again taken a two-goal lead! And Manchester City now have two away goals! Even if Real Madrid scores two goals in the next game and equalizes the aggregate score, they will be eliminated because of the disadvantage of fewer away goals! Kaka's goal is really damning! ”
In the midst of John Mortensen's wild shouts, Kaka hesitated, he had reflexively wanted to celebrate, but he suddenly thought of the question asked to him by the media, would it not be good to celebrate like this at the Bernabeu?
So he decided to give up the celebration.
But at this moment, the face of Glory full of ridicule suddenly appeared in his mind.
"Celebrate if you want to, mother-in-law, hypocrisy!"
Kaka gritted his teeth, pointed his hands to the sky, looked up at the sky, and thanked God.
He made his signature celebratory move!
Regardless of scruples, follow your heart.
He doesn't care what questions the media will use to make things difficult for him after the game, at this moment, he just wants to vent all the feelings in his heart!
