Real Madrid's attack was very efficient, and they were all kicked out of the ball and were able to find the Arsenal penalty area in no time.

"Arsenal don't let Real Madrid play so fluidly, the most important thing is that their attack has not created a threat, and if they continue to play like this, they will probably lose suspense." Zhan Jun felt a little worried.

"Arsenal's new midfielder Foss is a talented player, but for some reason, he rarely goes to the right side and plays with the equation. I think it may be that they don't know how the other side plays. If this problem is not solved, it will be difficult for Arsenal to win against Real Madrid."

The game came to the twenty-third minute.

When Thomas was at Atletico Madrid in La Liga, he played against Real Madrid's ceremonial midfield three a lot, so he was well aware of the quality of the opposition.

Therefore, Thomas got the ball again this time, and he decisively found Martinelli on the left with a long pass.

This is a long pass to avoid the opponent's midfield fight. Otherwise, Arsenal have not been able to pose a threat to the Real Madrid penalty area.

Martinelli unloaded his long ball beautifully, and he took the ball and rushed wide.

Carvajal stayed close in front of him to prevent him from breaking through crosses.

Martinelli saw that there was no space in front of him, and he could only force a low cross.

Carvajal stretched out his foot and blocked the ball off the line.

Martinelli was on for a corner.

This is also a last resort, because Martinelli has already chosen to go down, and if they can't even get a corner kick chance, then their attack is a complete failure

Fox ran over and asked for a free throw, but the path of the free throw was too close to goal and the goalkeeper easily slapped the ball out.

Forget it if their corner kick tactics fail,

As a result, Modric on the periphery got the ball.

Fortunately, the equation was very close, and he quickly stretched out his hand and decisively pulled Modric in place, which did not allow Real Madrid to play a quick counterattack.

The referee's whistle sounded immediately, and then he walked over and raised a finger to the equation as if to say something.

Seeing this scene, Director Zhang sighed and said: "The equation was fouled, and he almost got a yellow card, which is the referee warning him verbally, if there is a next time, it will definitely be a card."

Zhan Jun said: "The equation has not been played until now, and I have not received a yellow card for the Champions League, I hope it will not come too soon." Although the situation is not good for Arsenal at the moment, they have only played with a decent long-range shot so far."

"But with more than 70 minutes to go, they can't be too impatient and should be a little more patient."

However, the fact is that seeing that the equalizer has not been possible, there is no way to get Real Madrid's defense, and the players on the field are also in a hurry.

Arsenal's squad is still very young, and this is the first time many youngsters have played in the knockout stages of the Champions League.

Compared with Real Madrid's old demons, Arsenal is indeed a little immature.

Manager Arsene Wenger frowned on the sidelines, moving back and forth with some unease.

You can see the psychological pressure of the manager.

At this time, Arsenal attacked again, and Real Madrid's formation was still in full swing.

Some players have lost their breath and have no patience to pass the football anymore.

Alexandre Lacazette withdrew from the box, passed the ball back to Foss, and then rushed into the box to help him with the ball.

However, Foss didn't make the ball, he got the ball and kicked in again with a long-range shot.

There were a lot of people in the big penalty area, and the angle of the shot was blocked.

The shot was directly blocked.

When Wenger saw this scene, his face immediately became a little angry, shouted Foss's name, and pointed to his feet, as if to say stop wasting the ball.

Fox was a little silent, as if he heard the manager's shout, and he nodded to the sidelines.

'Arsenal can't afford to waste attacks like this anymore or they will be punished. They have to be a little bit more patient because chances are reserved for those who are prepared. ”

"Real Madrid are the team with the most Champions League trophies, they have played very sophisticated, especially the first away goal.

"The equation has been unable to get support on the right side, he should take the initiative to figure it out."

The equation was to take the initiative to help the team in midfield, but before he returned, the ball was snatched by Real Madrid.

Real Madrid attacked again.

Karim Benzema and Luka Modric know Arsenal's defender Thomas well.

It's like Thomas knows them.

Benzema clinged to Thomas, and Modric immediately rushed over and stabbed the ball out first.

Thomas was in a hurry, using both his hands and feet, trying to get the football back. However, after Modric combined with Benzema, he found Rodrygo in the ribs of the penalty area with a direct pass.

Saliba quickly gave up his body to block Rodrigo's shot.

In response, Rodrygo didn't shoot again, he kicked an inverted triangle back pass.

I saw Kroos rushing up from behind, and he faced the football and kicked it violently.

The ball flew off the ground in a small arc and went straight to the bottom left corner of the goal.

The goalkeeper didn't react at all and saw the ball fly into the goal.

"Oh no!"

"Real Madrid hit a quick counter-attack again! They have studied Thomas very well and know how to target Arsenal's central midfield! ”

"Modric sent a crucial through-ball!"

'Eden Hazard and Kroos are moving forward quickly, is Rodrigo going to score?'

"No, he found Cross in the triangle—"

"The score is 0:2! Real Madrid lead by 2 goals! ”

'Arsenal are in danger, they have conceded two goals at home!'

"Wait a minute."

Suddenly, Zhan Jun was surprised.

I saw that the linesman raised a small flag to signal that Real Madrid's attack was offside.

Director Zhang couldn't help but rejoice: "It should be offside, Modric passed accurately, but Rodrygo started early, I feel offside."

The referee began to communicate with the VAR.

The whole Arsenal team couldn't help but pray in their hearts that this goal must not be effective, otherwise they will go to the Bernabeu Stadium in the second leg and their hopes of promotion will become almost slim.

There is no guarantee that they will be able to score three goals at the Bernabeu.

The referee then blew a whistle to signal that Rodrygo was offside and the goal was disallowed.

The entire stadium erupted in applause and sighs. Arsenal escaped!

The score is 1:0!

Rodrigo couldn't help but smile wryly, when he encountered a body hair offside, anyone would feel speechless.

"Steady, we're going to score!"

At this moment, Wenger felt like he had been reborn, and he shouted excitedly to the disciples on the field.

Only those who have experienced despair can understand how rare it is to have hope.

This time, Arsenal went on the attack with the determination to score.

Ben White stepped up to the edge and Thomas quickly passed the ball to him.

Ben White didn't dare to take an extra step and immediately delivered a key pass.

The ball rolled almost to the touchline to the right side of Real Madrid.

The equation did not waste a teammate's pass,

He received the ball and instantly passed Real Madrid's right-back!

No hesitation, straight cross!

Ronaldo rushed to the back point with Martinelli,

However, Fox didn't slip the ball through and opted for his own shot.

The ball hit Militão's foot, and after the direction was changed, it rolled off the far post.

The audience sighed again.

"Why are we scoring goals, how is it so difficult?"

"Why don't you miss it? Obviously Martinelli's location is better! ”

"The situation was urgent just now, and I didn't notice the situation behind it, but it's actually normal"

Arsenal were given another corner.

However, after the corner, the football was pushed out by Real Madrid's central defender.

Ronaldo controlled the football on the perimeter and wanted to continue attacking.

However, Real Madrid's formation remained highly consistent, and they quickly pressed out of the penalty area and resolutely launched a scramble.

This momentum is very oppressive.

Arsenal didn't have a chance to attack again, they had to pass all the way back to the goalkeeper's feet.

"The first half is almost over! The score was still 0-1 and Arsenal wanted to score but it was a difficult situation'

"Real Madrid is a big club with a lot of experience, they are very strong. Professor Arsene Wenger has to figure out how he can lead young Arsenal to the quarter-finals"

"Is it the equation to go back to the middle to organize the attack? Or did Bukayo Saka come off the bench on the right wing? It's better to keep the score and fight to the death away from home, it's a tough choice for the manager to make."

As the referee's whistle blew,

The first half of the game is over.

Zinedine Zidane was clearly pleased with his team's performance, and he walked calmly into the passage of the pitch with his hands in his pockets.

Arsene Wenger kept communicating with Arteta and talking about the second-half adjustments.

The stats for the first half were that Arsenal had 54% possession, four shots on target and zero goals.

This shot conversion rate is very low, very low.

Real Madrid had only three shots on goal, but they had already scored two.

Back in the dressing room, Arsene Wenger kept emphasizing the penetration of short passes, speeding up the run and not letting go of any more waves.

If he runs out of stamina, he will naturally make substitution adjustments.

Time passed quickly, and the two teams were back on the field.

At the start of the second half, the ball was on Arsenal's side, and they accelerated their passing to create a quick attack on Real Madrid.

However, they ignore the intensity of the confrontation with Real Madrid. Zinedine Zidane apparently stressed at half-time that the team should not play too gentlemanly, that this is a Champions League knockout game and that the opposition must be made aware of the intensity of the game.

Casemiro lunged up and kicked Fox to the ground with the ball.

The referee didn't say anything and thought Casemiro had touched the ball first.

Immediately, Real Madrid launched a quick attack, and the football quickly overturned the midfield, with Benzema, Hazard, Rodrygo and Modric forming a sharp triangular arrow straight into the heart of Arsenal.

'Arsenal are all passing the ball and want to speed up the opening attack'

"It's not good, Casemiro's break, Arsenal is in danger!"

"Real Madrid split the ball on the wing, how do they cooperate?"

I saw that in the midst of the boos of the whole stadium, Rodrigo charged with the ball on the side and saw that the goalkeeper had stopped

Rodrigo decisively swept the football into the middle,

Benzema rushed towards the pass, but he didn't shoot, but conceded to Modric behind him.

Luka Modric received the ball, he pretended to shoot hard, deceived the centre-back and goalkeeper in front of him, but he actually flicked the ball, entered the box and volleyed with all his might.

The ball crosses the penalty spot and drills into the goal in an instant.

The score is 0:2, and Real Madrid leads by two goals!

The referee did not blow for offside this time, pointed to the center circle line, and the goal was valid!

This time, the whole Real Madrid team came to the corner to celebrate the goal, and the Arsenal fans in the stands did not shout any more taunts.

The score is already two goals behind, and even if it is left on the league, it can already be said that there is no hope of winning.

What's more, it's the knockout rounds of the Champions League, and Real Madrid have two away goals.

'Arsenal wanted to start with a fast attack, but they were played by Real Madrid, and they are now in the most dangerous situation.

"Real Madrid are now in the driver's seat. All Arsenal can do now is hold on to the score and see if there's a chance to pull a goal back."

"They can't concede any more goals now!" Zhan Jun said in a somewhat heavy tone.

Wenger did not hesitate any longer, and immediately made substitution adjustments, Xhaka was replaced, and Ronaldo was replaced.

Subsequently, Real Madrid's formation was revealed, wanting to trap Arsenal's front line in an offside trap.

In the fifty-eighth minute, the equation got the ball again and cut inside.

Real Madrid didn't dare to foul him, and they all knew that this man had a sharp free-kick technique.

The equation unselfishly sent a through ball at the top of the arc, however, the ball was eventually deflected wide by Lacazette.

Immediately afterwards, Real Madrid launched another fast attack on Arsenal, and Xhaka could only bring down Modric in midfield.

He had just come on the pitch and was immediately warned by the referee with a yellow card.

The equation went up and tried to persuade the referee.

The referee shook his head and ruthlessly refused, "Please concentrate on the game"

The equation sighs a little. Xhaka was given a yellow card before he could play his role, and the situation was already a bit grim

"It's okay, I can keep Modric at bay!" Xhaka came over and said confidently.

The equation nodded. Let's hope so

However, when Xhaka came up, he still had the intensity of his defence, and as long as he didn't play at the back, he could still play a role in sweeping the midfield.

'Xhaka's role is obvious, there are a few minor fouls, but it's part of football and the Arsenal lads need to be like Xhaka, they play too cleanly. Even the giants Real Madrid have taken advantage of this tactic."

But

Real Madrid will not be afraid of the competition, they can compete with Atletico Madrid in La Liga.

Now facing Arsenal, which is known for its technology,

That's just a big deal

Moreover, Arsenal have undergone a major change this season, and few of them have experienced last year's Europa League and Atletico Madrid.

Coach Zhang still remembers last year's Europa League match and sighed: "Although Arsenal's results are quite good now, they are only now facing the toughest test of the year. Real Madrid is the one thing that lies ahead. If they want to win the Champions League, they need to really grow'

Zhan Jun agreed: "That's right, why did Arsenal win the Europa League last year? It is because they are united, not afraid of strong opponents, and constantly learn from the lessons of the game. The new Arsenal is clearly missing experience."

'Of course, they still have Leno, Xhaka, Equation, Alexandre Lacazette and I'm sure Arsenal will be able to bounce back soon.'

"Let's hope so, everyone's expectations for them are high." Director Zhang sighed.

Soon, Casemiro was also shown a yellow card after a fierce confrontation with Xhaka in midfield.

It can be seen that today's referee still gave a fair penalty.

It doesn't favor either side of the game, at most it allows for a certain amount of physical confrontation.

In the 63rd minute, Kroos diverted the ball widely and found Hazard on the left side of the field.

Eden Hazard volleyed a long-range shot into the left corner of the box.

Seeing his team-mates score today, Eden Hazard is desperate to prove himself.

Moreover, he was also crushed by Arsenal when he was at Chelsea last year, and now Hazard is keen to take revenge with his own hands

However, goalkeeper Leno struggled to block the ball and leaned back to keep out Hazard's superb shot.

Hazard was stunned for a moment, so that he could pounce out?

The stadium roared and the fans applauded Leno's perfect save.

Everyone can see that Arsenal have not given up on the pitch yet.

Zinedine Zidane also applauded from the sidelines, not knowing whether he was applauding Hazard's shot or Leno's save.

But soon, he also made a substitution, Hazard came on and Vinicius came on.

Seeing the substitution number plate on the sideline, Hazard fell silent on the spot before walking to the sideline step by step.

The equation was almost speechless, so he hurriedly ran over and asked this uncle to hurry up.

They're in a hurry to get a goal back.

As a result, who knew that Hazard waved his hand unhappily and seemed to be bored with the other party.

In this regard, the whole Arsenal team was like a pile of hay, and they were in a hurry to pull a goal back, but seeing such a rude move by Hazard, everyone was instantly ignited.

"What do you mean, you don't want to end up, let's fight!"

"Clean up your moves, Burgers."

Soon, the whole Arsenal team gathered around Hazard and launched a fierce attack with rhetoric.

And Real Madrid is a little lacking in confidence, after all, it was Hazard who provoked the incident first, and they could only protect Hazard behind them first

"Beep-"

"Beep-"

The referee's whistle blew immediately.

The players on the bench also rushed to persuade them, but fortunately, everyone was a little anxious and no conflict broke out.

The referee took the scene in his eyes and immediately showed Hazard a yellow card.

In this regard, Hazard was naturally very unconvinced, and walked off the pitch with a curse.

However, the grumpy Xhaka couldn't listen to these words, and he immediately rushed to Hazard's back, which really wanted to fight.

Thankfully, Ben White and Equation have recently hugged Xhaka, which hasn't made things bigger.

'Eden Hazard is a little angry and you can see that he is under a lot of pressure at Real Madrid and many fans are questioning his professionalism. He wanted to prove himself, but unfortunately he couldn't get back to his previous state," Zhan Jun also said with some regret.

After all, Hazard's previous style of play has indeed attracted the attention of many people.

At that time, many people thought that he would definitely become the third person in the world.

The game continues,

Vinicius is also a young man, he comes from samba football, he is very fast, he dribbles very well.

After he came up, it was obvious that he was going to continue to play Arsenal's quick counter-attack.

Vinicius is clearly a much better threat to the goal than Eden Hazard.

As a result, the pressure on Arsenal's defense becomes even heavier.

Fullback Ben White, he doesn't dare to go up to the side at will, he must pay attention to the gap behind him at all times, otherwise, he will be instantly penetrated by Vinicius if he is not careful.

As a result, the equation lacks Ben White's support in the front field.

He can only figure out how to break through Real Madrid's defensive target.

At this point, Arsene Wenger made another substitution, with Alexandre Lacazette coming on and Haaland coming on.

It was a regular substitution as Alexandre Lacazette was clearly unable to run, so it didn't improve Arsenal's defensive pressure.

After their formation came out of the attack, with the consumption of physical strength and spirit, many times only tactical fouls were used to stop Real Madrid's counterattack.

Fox went to the left again and played with Martinelli.

However, there are already a lot of people gathered on the left, and the space has become very small.

Luka Modric intercepted the ball and immediately sent a diagonal cross to the left.

Vinicius quickly ran a one-on-one shot.

His pace was so fast that Ben White didn't have time to defend at all.

Thankfully, Leno made another crucial save.

He almost made a split motion with his legs, and used his toes to block Vinicius' shot.

Saliba, who came back, was so frightened that he quickly kicked the football to the front.

The game has come to the eightieth minute,

The equation went on, and he returned to the middle to receive the ball several times in a row.

There is no point in staying on the right any longer.

His team-mates apparently trusted him more than Foss, and when they saw him coming, they immediately heard football.

This time, Equation catches the ball with his back and then turns quickly.

Seeing that there were almost all people in front of him, he was very fast, and he didn't get up in a hurry, but pushed out, as if he wanted to continue walking.

Casemiro who pounced was deceived!

The dribbling of the equation is very neat, dialing the outside and buckling the inside, and continuing to rush to the middle.

Haaland, who was about to step forward, immediately braked the car, and the next second, he saw a football coming from the equation.

At this moment, the two formed a tacit understanding.

The equation passed the ball, accelerated into the penalty area, and went straight to the gap in front of him!

Haaland slammed his heel and the ball split through the gap between Militão and Raphael Varane and rolled to the right side of the penalty area.

Equation to get the ball first!

Varane turned, stepped over his thighs, and scrambled to block the equation's shot.

But it's too late,

The equation didn't hit the ground with a volley, and he kicked hard with his right foot, hitting the bottom of the ball hard.

The ball was in a straight line, with a crisp sound, and instantly crashed under the crossbar!

Burst shot!

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois didn't react at all, stretching out his hands instinctively.

He only felt as if a strong wind was flying in front of him, and then the whole stadium shook instantly.

Raphael Varane fell to the ground and looked up at the goal, feeling that it didn't make sense

Why is there no close-to-ground volley? Just so confident, shoot directly with a blast?!

"Beautiful! ——”

"Burst shot! It's really confident! ”

'The ball went in and Arsenal pulled one back. There are still ten minutes left in the game! ”
