Real Madrid have met Lyon in two seasons in the Champions League in the past three years, losing both times at the Stade Gerain, including a 3-0 defeat at Lyon's home stadium in the group stage last season, which also led to Real Madrid's second place in the Champions League group.

This time in Lyon, France, Casillas, the goalkeeper of the Real Madrid team, said in an interview that Real Madrid is here for revenge!

The Real Madrid he says is even stronger than ever!

Maybe just looking at the last two league games, Real Madrid didn't have many problems, at least they won, but the team's morale was not boosted by good results, on the contrary, it was very low due to other factors.

On the evening of September 14, the Gerland Stadium was full, and Real Madrid and Lyon started the first round of the Champions League group stage of the new season.

The Real Madrid players walked into the pitch with their heads held high, while the Lyonnais players were noticeably more demoralised.

"The exciting new season of the Champions League is finally back in everyone's field of vision, and today we bring you the first round of the Champions League Group E, with Lyon, the five-time champion of Ligue 1, facing La Liga giants Real Madrid!

Lyon and Real Madrid have often met in the Champions League in recent years, and at the Stadium in Gerland, Real Madrid have hardly taken advantage, will the new Real Madrid get revenge here tonight, as Casillas said?

Let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Lyon started 433.

Goalkeeper: Kupe.

Defenders: Revier, Chris, Muller. Abidal.

Midfielder: Tulalang. Juninho Jr. Thiago.

Forwards: Govu, Fred, Malouda.

Real Madrid started 433.

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defenders: Siciño, Cannavaro, Ramos, Carlos.

Midfielders: Diarra, Qin Xiong, Emerson.

Striker: Cassano. Vanney, Raul.

After the kick-off ceremony of the Champions League match, Real Madrid will kick off first, so let's look forward to what this game will show. ”

In the much-anticipated Gerland Stadium, the white-clad Real Madrid launched an attack from the kickoff.

If there were no contradictions between Capello and the dressing room, everyone might have listened patiently to Capello's tactical ideas and accepted his ideas calmly and rationally.

But because many players in the locker room are dissatisfied with Capello, this makes many people reluctant to listen to what Capello said, and like a marionette, he is at his mercy and is reprimanded by him roaring

From the preparation before the new season to today, the contradictions accumulated in more than a month. Finally broke out in this game!

Although it is not yet a complete one, it is enough to bury the devastating outbreak of Real Madrid throughout the season!

The players are fighting in their own hands. It is difficult to form a whole, like a plate of loose sand.

Perhaps only Qin Xiong in the front court is trying to maintain the team's offensive framework, actively looking for Raul and Vanney to cooperate.

As for Capello, Cassano, who still had expectations, was clearly out of shape after the start of the game, with a mistake on the ball, a dribble into a dead end, and an unknown cross.

On the other hand, the Lyon team sitting at home, they have long been dominating in Ligue 1, they are very confident, even if they face Real Madrid at home, they are not afraid, they are at best two or three people playing group cooperation compared to Real Madrid, Lyon is interpreting what is real team football.

It's done very well on both ends of the floor.

Active, calm and rational, the defense curbs the activities of Ruud vanni, the core of Real Madrid's striker, and uses Juninho Jr. as the core of the midfield organization in the attack, repeatedly attacking the wings.

The first to be beaten by Real Madrid was Siciño, a Brazilian player who had never looked like a full-back in the past, and when Capellol asked him to defend well, he seemed lost and a little overwhelmed.

In the eighth minute, Malouda dribbled on his flank, then cut inside the box and then passed back to the inverted triangle outside the box, where Thiago in midfield followed up with a shot from outside the box, and Casillas made a brilliant save to keep Thiago's shot out.

Real Madrid immediately turned around and counterattacked, and Qin Xiong saw that the Lyon back line was a little forward, so he sent a direct pass over the top to Vanney in the middle of the field.

Central defender Chris retreated to interfere with Vanney's run, Muller is to grab the spot, this time Real Madrid's attack did not play a tacit cooperation, Vanney is retreating back to the offside position, and then started a beat slower, and finally failed to grab Muller under the interference of Chris, Muller passed the ball back to goalkeeper Kupe, and Lyon saved the day.

Lyon's ground pass attack is very effective, and Real Madrid's wide defense has a huge problem!

Capello needs wingers to drop back, Raul and Cassano must be involved in the backfield defense, but the question is whether Real Madrid will be unwavering in defending or pressing high to attack?

No one can tell!

In other words, when Raul appeared in front of Lyon's penalty area to participate in the attack, and Real Madrid's attack was stopped, would Lyon's fast break give Raul or Cassano time to run back into the second half?

How is it possible for a man to run faster than a football?

Carlos, on the other hand, is an unusually prominent player in attack and unstable in defense because of his advanced age, and Real Madrid's two wings have become a natural corridor in Lyon's attack.

This forced Qin Xiong to retreat and take the initiative to help defend the side.

Govu and Malouda's role on the flanks is clear, and even if they are not top players for the time being, they are enough to cause problems for Real Madrid's backline due to the advantage of being at home.

Juninho Jr. has a precise passing skill, he makes Lyon's attack fast and fluid, and constantly plays the ball in central midfield to the wing, he is like a steady serve.

Juninho Jr., after repeatedly creating chances on the wing, suddenly sent a direct pass over the top in the midfield position in the 16th minute of the game!

The Real Madrid backline had no idea that Lyon would attack their defence in such a simple and brutal way.

The ball crashed into the box and Cannavaro quickly moved to the spot, then he jumped to his head to clear the ball.

An astonishing scene happened!

Cannavaro, the main central defender of the World Cup champion, has risen to the top!

Just when he landed, he looked back, only to see Casillas hastily choose to abandon the goal, and the striker Fred, who cut diagonally into the penalty area at the landing point of the football, did not make adjustments and shot directly into the volley!

The falling ball changed the direction of flight with the arch of his foot, and after the refraction of the ball, the ball flew to the left side of the goal, Casillas didn't even make a save, and Fred hit it too suddenly!

Football hits the net! (To be continued......)
