This year's focus has shifted almost entirely to the showdown between the stars on the field, with Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale and Messi and Neymar, the four of them becoming the focus of the game.

At 6 p.m. on October 27, the Camp Nou was crowded with people, and a big battle was about to break out.

Carlo Ancelotti made a noticeable change, with Sergio Ramos at the back and Gareth Bale in the centre-forward position.

This move has caused heated discussions in the media, will this change have a miraculous effect?

"Drop! ……”

The referee blew the whistle and the game officially began.

The game was very close from the beginning, and Real Madrid almost did not let it go, and it was entangled with Barcelona.

As with the previous "Spanish National Derby", the game was extremely hot.

In the seventh minute, Sergio Busquets was booked for a foul on Angel Di Maria.

In the eleventh minute, Barcelona, who were playing at home, finally created a chance to shoot.

Neymar passed, Messi took back and fired a powerful shot from the edge of the box into Varane and deflected, and Diego Lopes came in time to confiscate the ball.

In the fourteenth minute, Ramos was yellow carded for a foul on Neymar!

A minute later, Real Madrid had their first shot on goal, when Bale's long-range shot from outside the box went over the crossbar.

In the following games, Barcelona continued to put pressure on the Real Madrid defence.

In the eighteenth minute, Adriano passed the ball, Neymar shook Carvajal and fired a rebound ball from the edge of the box on the left and into the arms of Diego López.

In the nineteenth minute, Iniesta made a wonderful pass outside the penalty area, and Neymar flew forward into the penalty area and fired a low shot on the left side of the penalty area!

The soccer ball goes into the net from the far corner!

1 to 0!

The Brazilian star scored his first goal in the "Spanish national derby"!

The goal made Camp Nou thunderous.

Barcelona almost extended the score in the 21st minute, Iniesta made a direct pass, and Messi's single shot from the right rib of the penalty area went wide.

"Coax! ……”

There was a huge cry of regret at Camp Nou.

In the next game, the two sides competed fiercely.

In the 34th minute, Adriano tackled Cristiano Rodo on the side and was given a yellow card.

In first-half stoppage time, Bale also received a yellow card for a foul on Pique!

In the first half alone, the two sides received a total of four yellow cards, which shows how fierce the fight was.

Barcelona went into the second half with a one-goal lead.

After the start of the second half, Barcelona continued to put pressure on the Real Madrid defense by virtue of the home advantage.

Real Madrid counter-attacked.

In the twenty-third minute of the second half, Camp Nou set off another climax, Neymar made a direct pass, and Sanchez got rid of Varane and shot outside the penalty area!

Football hangs Diego López into the net!

Two to zero!

Barcelona extend their lead!

Neymar shines.

Real Madrid did not give up on the game, looking for every opportunity to put pressure on the Barcelona goal.

In the first minute of stoppage time, Real Madrid's efforts finally paid off, Ronaldo broke through the cross from the side, and Jesse, who was ambushed at the back post, shot hard!

Soccer balls fly straight into the goal!

One to two!

Real Madrid scored a face-saving goal.

In the final minutes, Barcelona did not give Real Madrid a chance to perform miracles, keeping the score 2-1 until the end of the game and getting the result they wanted.

Marca reported after the game commenting on the game: "Ramos didn't work wonders, Carlo Ancelotti's experiment failed. ”

The newspaper Ace also criticized Carlo Ancelotti with the headline: This will kill Real Madrid! Ancelotti learns from Mu Shuai too stupidly to say good beautiful football?

The commentary reads: "Carlo Ancelotti made a surprise move for Real Madrid for the first time, but it didn't work, and Real Madrid ended a five-game unbeaten run against Barcelona after losing 2-1 to Barcelona.

Carlo Ancelotti sent on the trident combination of Di Maria, Cristiano Ronaldo and Bale up front, and given the hot form of Bale and Di Maria, it was no surprise that the two started the game.

Carlo Ancelotti was hinting at Bale's possible start, both in his interview with Radio Serre and in his pre-match press conference, so it was no surprise that Bale was in the starting line-up.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

However, how to arrange the positions of these three, Ancelotti took it for granted, he regarded Bale as a "pseudo-center", and Ronaldo and Di Maria were separated from one left and one right.

After the game, Carlo Ancelotti explained why Bale was played as a central striker, saying that it was to suppress Barcelona's Sergio Busquets. As a result, Bale lost his space in the middle, his speed advantage could not be played, and even if he got the ball, he was very impatient and hurriedly chose to shoot from a distance.

Ancelotti's other big failure was the back three, with Luka Modric and Khedira on either side and Ramos in the middle.

Ramos is used to playing at central defender on weekdays, and suddenly advanced to the back, and the Real Madrid captain inevitably did not adapt to it, and almost received a second yellow card and was sent off.

Ancelotti's purpose of letting Ramos play in the back is obvious, to contain Messi, which is similar to the back three tactics of the Mourinho era, when Mourinho put Pepe in the back position in order to prevent Messi.

However, Ancelotti learned Mourinho's tactics, neither donkey nor horse, so Ronaldo actively returned to his own half to defend actively several times.

Real Madrid in the Mourinho era was accused of playing ugly, but Ancelotti, who is now sticking to beautiful football, continues to lead Real Madrid back to ugliness, which makes the Galaxy a little different.

In June, Ancelotti joined Real Madrid with a smile, promising to play beautiful football in Real Madrid, concentrating on creating a Christmas tree shape during the warm-up game, and focusing on building a three-person system of Ozil, Modric and Yinsco, and then Yinsco's amazing team changed the team to a 4321 formation and chose Ozil, who passed well.

But against Barcelona, Ancelotti tore off the so-called beautiful football mask, tore up his promise, and sacrificed the three-back tactics of the Mourinho era, but was restrained by Barcelona.

At present, Real Madrid under the coaching of Ancelotti does not have a clear set of tactical play, and the scene is becoming more and more chaotic, far inferior to Real Madrid in the Mourinho era, and now even the ability to quickly counterattack has been lost. ”
