With the pressure of the Devil's schedule in January, both Real Madrid and Barcelona are careful to avoid the injury wave.

Anyone who is injured will be removed from the list.

On Real Madrid's side, Alaba and Tchouameni did not come to Saudi Arabia with the team, and the depth of the squad and defense have dropped a notch.

As for Barcelona, they underwent major surgery at the back and used a new 4-2-3-1 formation to fight Real Madrid.

Real Madrid starters:

Goalkeeper: Thibaut Courtois.

Defence: Ferran Mendy, Rudiger, Militão, Carvajal.

Midfielders: Toni Kroos, Camavinga, Luka Modric.

Forwards: Rossi, Benzema, Valverde.

Barcelona starters:

Goalkeeper: Ter Schgent.

Defence: Alex Balde, Christensen, Kounde, Araujo.

Two midfielders: De Jong, Sergio Busquets.

Midfielders: Messi, Pedri, Gavi.

Center: Robert Lewandowski.

In the tunnel of the players, Rossi and Lewandowski hugged each other.

The two once killed all sides in the Bundesliga and helped Bayern win the six crowns, but they didn't expect to become "mortal enemies" now.

Before Lewandowski decided to transfer, he also received an offer from Real Madrid.

But he refused.

In his career planning, Lewandowski regards the Ballon d'Or as the most important personal honor.

If he transfers to Real Madrid, he will undoubtedly be divided by his former teammate Rossi, who will take away most of his offensive resources, which is not conducive to him competing for the Ballon d'Or.

Looking at world football, only Barcelona can compete with Real Madrid's influence in world football.

After the World Cup, Messi is already a Grand Slam with personal honors and does not need to prove himself with the Ballon d'Or.

The transfer to Barcelona is Lewandowski's last fight for his Ballon d'Or.

The game started quickly, with Barcelona attacking first.

From the moment Real Madrid started the game, Xavi understood the team's attacking focus in this game.

Back waist.

After Casemiro left Real Madrid, Tchouameni played an important role in the defensive end as the best replacement.

But in this game, Camavinga replaced the injured Tchouameni.

Real Madrid's other two midfielders are Modric and Kroos, who are obviously lacking in interception and pursuit.

This gave Harvey a chance to fight back.

With two midfielders and three midfielders, Barcelona shifted their tactical focus to the midfield, focusing on the defensive problems of Real Madrid's three midfielders.

Barcelona's strength lies in their speed of pressing and moving the ball up front, and their ability to spot small cracks in the Real Madrid defence and take advantage of fleeting opportunities.

In the 13th minute, Barcelona instigated an attack on the left flank and played a small area of exquisite coordination.

After receiving a pass from a teammate on the left rib, Messi started to cut forward into the penalty area.

Valverde returned in time to defend Messi with Militão.

There was no room to break through, and Messi cleverly played the ball back to Lewandowski in the middle.

Unloading the ball with his right foot in front of the right and shooting angrily, Lewandowski's handling of the ball has reached the point of perfection.

Courtois was not slow to react and flew to save the ball off the line.

It can be seen from this attack that Real Madrid lacks lateral protection from the back when defending, resulting in Messi being able to easily send assists in the core area.

Faced with the holes in the defensive line, Ancelotti did not think of remedy, but actively attacked.

From a corner, Rudiger managed to limit Lewandowski's jump, and Courtois picked the ball up with both hands.

Real Madrid attack.

Camavinga, as a midfielder, should stay at the back to protect the defence.

But when he attacked, he rushed to the position of the front midfield.

The "two elders of Xuan Ming" sat in the ribs of the backfield and organized side attacks.

The technical midfielder dragged down the organization, the defensive midfielder attacked forward, and Ancelotti's aggressive style of play was completely different from the previous tactics in the league.

In the 15th minute, Camavinga received a pass from Kroos and held the ball near the center circle.

Facing the frontal defense of Barcelona's trio, quickly split sides.

Toni Rudiger drove the ball along the flank, Karim Benzema and Mendila responded on the side, Camavinga pressed on the ribs and Rossi roamed the gap between the two centre-backs.

For a time, on the left side of Barcelona, Real Madrid hoarded five attacking players, and the defensive pressure suddenly increased.

Rudiger distributed the ball to Karim Benzema on the wing, who kept the ball and passed it directly to the ribs.

Barcelona's defence was instantly encircled towards Camavinga.

I saw that Camavinga also didn't stop the ball, and pointed the ball to Mendy who was in front with his head.

Barcelona right-back Araujo was unmarked on the wing because of his adduction protection, allowing Mendy to run wild.

By the time he arrived, Mendy had swept the ball in front of goal.

In the middle of the penalty area, Rossi suddenly activated, and the diagonal jack was open in front of him.

Kounde lost his position and could not prevent the ball from being held, only restricting him from turning and threatening the goal.

But

Do world-class strikers still need to turn and face the goal before they can shoot?

Rossi cut forward at high speed, with his left heel, and flicked the ball into the goal, catching the opposing goalkeeper off guard.

In front of such a dashing "scorpion tail swing", Ter Schgent can only look at the ball and sigh.

The score was behind, much to Xavi's surprise.

Aren't Real Madrid worried about being beaten in the backline?

In the attack just now, half of Real Madrid's defense was involved in the attack.

Once it's Barcelona's turn to counterattack, then the remaining half of Real Madrid's defense line is the fat that is sent to the mouth.

This is the final!

There is no home and away game, no goal difference.

This aggressive tactic is a double-edged sword.

Xavi never imagined that Ancelotti, whose hair was already gray, would use such a risky tactic.

With the score behind, Barcelona stepped up their attack.

Due to the thinness of Real Madrid's midfield position, Barcelona has been given more room to move.

When Messi received the ball outside the penalty area, he was instantly caught by three defenders of Real Madrid.

Under the interference of Militão, Messi crossed the ball and handed it to Gavi at the back post.

The new golden boy chose to shoot as soon as he received the pass.

But he ignored the Real Madrid players' defense, unlike other teams.

As the ball raced towards the near corner of the goal, Carvajal headed it away.

Valverde controlled the second penalty and played a long pass directly to Camavinga, who was pulling the side.

Barcelona's two wings, because they didn't have time to return to the designated position after the forward attack just now, exposed a huge space.

Central defender Jules Kounde had to push out of the penalty area and interfere with Camavinga, who was cutting forward at high speed.

But he was still a step late.

Camavinga swept the ball in front of goal and Rossi followed up with a gentle push of his foot to complete the goal.

In just a few minutes, Real Madrid led 2-0, which was completely different from Xavi's prediction of the direction of the game before the game.

After Casemiro left the team, Real Madrid brought in Tchouameni to replace the former.

But in terms of position selection and experience, Tchouameni is still very immature.

Kroos dragged his feet on the defensive, and it was difficult for some strongmen,

Although Rudiger's defense is hard and the success rate of the top tackle is high, the shortcomings of the ball cannot be improved, and Real Madrid's defense has been in jeopardy.

Therefore, in Real Madrid's previous games, whenever they encountered a team with strong pressure, the midfield defense seemed to be submissive.

But today is different.

Real Madrid's back midfielder was forward, like a heavy punch, hitting Barcelona's deadly area.

Ancelotti, this old man, is very bad.
