"Next, let me introduce to you the lineups of both sides."
"For Real Madrid, the forward line consists of Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale."
"The midfielder is Modric, partnering with Bai Ran who has just returned from injury, and defensive midfielder Casemiro from Brazil who has just been reused by Zidane this season."
"The defender is still the classic combination of Varanegaramos, with Carvajal and Marcelo as the double defenders, and goalkeeper Navas is guarding the goal line."
"Real Madrid's lineup is really luxurious! The stars are gathered together, the masters are gathered together, and they are all at their peak, in their prime!"
"Besides, there is a talented young midfielder who has been cheating in recent times, Bai Ran!"
"But I heard that Bai Ran suffered a serious injury in La Liga some time ago. I don't know if it will affect today's game status. Let's wait and see."
"The Roma lineup on the other side is - Dzeko is leading the striker, Gervinho is the fast player on the left, and the starting player on the right is Salah of Egypt."
"Roma's midfield consists of Totti, De Rossi and Pjanic, while the back line consists of Dine, Tastan, Rudiger, who has just returned from injury, and full-back Florenci."
"Goalkeeper Szczesny is still firmly in the starting lineup."
"After the introduction of the players from both sides, let's take a look at the live footage. The game is about to begin!"
Before the game, the atmosphere between the two sides was quite strong. After all, both teams are traditional strong teams, and no one is convinced by the other!
Real Madrid may have the main advantage among the youth of the team, but when it comes to qualifications and experience, Roma must be more experienced.
After all, there is a living fossil of football dragging here, and the spiritual pillar of Roma will never fall.
With the referee's whistle, the game officially started!
"Real Madrid took the lead and Benzema kicked off the ball from the center circle and pushed the ball to Bai Ran!"
"We can see that Bai Ran is in good condition today. There was news that Bai Ran suffered a huge injury, but miraculously recovered within ten days."
"Let's see if he can still be so heroic today!"
"Bai Ran gave the ball to the backcourt and Ramos took the ball."
Real Madrid played unhurriedly on the court. After all, they had three goal differences in their hands. Why should they be anxious?
Roma's fight was sparing no effort, Real Madrid passed on several kicks, and Dzeko, a 30-year-old veteran, never stopped for a moment.
Even though every pass was very safe, Dzeko still chased desperately and never gave up every opportunity to get the ball.
Finally, Huang Tian paid off. Under the continuous pressing from Roma, Varane made a mistake in the ball and the ball was intercepted by Roma!
"Okay, the battle in the frontcourt was successful, and the ball has been transferred!"
"Gervinho on the wing dribbled the ball straight to the inside line. He used his speed to pass Carvajal!"
"Gervinho made a pass from the wing, and the ball passed through the penalty area, and it hit the back!"
Salah's position at the back point is very good. Ramos's ball is over the top. The ball is passed just right. Salah's receiving position is very comfortable!
Don't miss this opportunity, it won't come back again!
Salah hit the goal with his left foot!
Real Madrid's defenders flew to block the hole of the gun, but unfortunately they did not predict the direction of the ball!
Navas made a flying dive and bravely resolved the attack!
pity! The ball was not scored and the result was inevitable, but this did not dampen the confidence of the Roma players.
Totti kept applauding from behind: "Not bad! Keep up the momentum! No problem! Come on!"
Salah and the others also had their morale boosted. Although the goal was not scored, Roma's offensive trend was obvious.
After Real Madrid's Navas completed this beautiful save, he also shouted at the defenders: "Concentrate! Don't miss anyone!"
"Varane, lean a little closer, yes!"
The game was full of excitement at the beginning, and the two sides fought a wonderful offensive battle.
Roma took a corner kick and Florenci took the kick.
The force of the ball was just right and it just landed in the center of the penalty area. Dzeko flew to grab the point, but unfortunately Ramos got stuck in his position. The take-off was not very comfortable, and Varane, who came from behind, used his head to clear the ball. restricted area.
The ball came to Real Madrid's feet. Before Roma's offensive players could return to their positions, Real Madrid launched a counterattack!
Modric advances with the ball, and his flowing long hair makes his movements look a bit more chic. The masters on the field show off their operations to each other, and the fans on the sidelines are dazzled!
Modric passed the ball through and made a precise long pass to the ground. The ball came to Ronaldo's feet!
As an extremely dangerous player, Ronaldo was also fully guarded by Roma. They worked together to block all possible routes of Ronaldo. In the end, Ronaldo had no choice but to hit the opponent with the ball and the ball went out of the sideline.
Real Madrid side kick.
Marcelo ran over and lifted the ball over his head.
Give the ball to Bai Ran!
Their purpose is very clear. If they want to attack, they must first find Bai Ran!
After Bai Ran got the ball, he clearly understood the situation around him with God's perspective, so he was flexible and delicate with his feet, and a fried ball passed Totti!
This action caused cheers on the field!
Bai Ran is too strong, he can easily surpass Totti!
That's a legend! Although he is 40 years old this year, he is still fighting in the Champions League.
Even though he had previously expressed the idea of retiring, Roma was in a critical period at this time, and Totti was still fulfilling his responsibility as the soul of the team for this beloved city.
But this time on defense, Totti has shown fatigue.
Bai Ran easily passed Totti and then dribbled the ball forward. The opponent's Rudiger stepped forward to press for him. Bai Ran made another pass with his shoulder, and passed Rudiger with a very clever move!
There was a burst of cheers once again on the court. The performance of this talented young player on the court was extremely eye-catching!
Bai Ran came to the top of the arc in the penalty area. Facing the opponent's defender who was pressing forward, Bai Ran gently lifted the ball over the opponent's head!
An understatement, the clouds are calm and the wind is gentle!
The other party's center of gravity has already rushed towards Bai Ran, and it's too late to go back!
However, at this moment, Benzema was already wandering on the offside line. After passing the ball in vain, Benzema quickly stepped in and took the ball without looking up at the goal. He just relied on his own feelings. A kick!
Even as a world-class goalkeeper, Szczesny can't do anything about this goal!
The ball speed is too fast and the position of the ball is very good!
Benzema scores a goal!
Real Madrid temporarily leads Roma 1-0 at home, with a 4-goal gap in the total score.
In this situation, Roma must score at least five goals to save the defeat!
Will a miracle happen in the next game?
The Roma players frowned and sighed, which made their task even more difficult.
Benzema came to the sidelines to celebrate crazily. The fans on the sidelines were already very enthusiastic. What does this goal mean? They already have half a foot in the quarter-finals!
It was Bai Ran who provided this assist to Benzema!
Everything about this attack starts with Bai Ran passing two people in the midfield at the beginning.
From midfielder to defender, Bai Ran got rid of all the defensive players, and finally passed the ball to Benzema's feet. The latter's task was much easier. As long as he completed the shot, he scored immediately.
Benzema's shot is also remarkable. It can be seen from the slow-motion camera that he did not look up to observe the position of the goal and goalkeeper.
His shot this time was entirely based on his keen sense of smell in front of the goal, showing his killer instinct.
He doesn't even need to look, he knows where the opponent's goalkeeper is and what direction the goal is.
This is the consciousness a top striker should have, and Benzema has completely achieved it.
Bai Ran also ran towards Benzema and high-fived him to celebrate. This goal laid the foundation for Real Madrid's victory. The possibility of Roma advancing was slim!
However, at this moment, Totti, the soul of Roma, had not been defeated. He kept comforting his teammates.
"It doesn't matter, we still have a chance, we still have enough time!"
"cheer!"
After some encouragement, De Rossi cheered up, and the other teammates reluctantly picked up their spirits and continued to face the next game.
The rest of the game was also extremely hot. Roma launched an offensive again. Salah on the wing got rid of Marcelo, and then cut inside into the middle!
Ramos's tackle was very fierce and he shoveled Salah directly to the ground. The referee walked by without taking out the card and just gave Ramos a verbal warning.
The free kick was taken by Totti.
Although this position is a bit far from the goal, if you choose to pass the ball, Dzeko in the frontcourt will cause Real Madrid a lot of trouble.
Totti let out a sigh of relief and stared at the city guarded by Navas, his heart extremely determined.
The referee blew the whistle and Totti started to run - hit the goal!
Oh my god! Totti actually chose to shoot this ball!
A cut to the ground. When the wall was all jumping up, Totti made a cut to the ground. The ball entered the penalty area at extremely fast speed!
Navas' line of sight was completely blocked by this ball, and he couldn't see what was ahead, let alone the path of Totti's ball!
By the time Navas reacted, the ball had already arrived in front of the goal, and he could only watch the ball roll into Real Madrid's net.
1-1 tied!
Totti was out of breath and quickly returned to the center circle holding the ball, swaying his arms on the way to cheer up everyone in Roma!
This goal brought back Roma's morale!
But it is not difficult to see that after only half an hour of the game, Totti was already breathing heavily.
At the age of 40, it is already a miracle to be able to play in this stadium, not to mention scoring a goal in this game.
Roma fans are in tears!
Eternal Wolf King, Rome is behind you!
Real Madrid and Roma are once again back on the same starting line, but the difference is that Real Madrid currently has three goal differences and three more away goals than Roma!
Bai Ran also discovered the problem with Real Madrid's playing style in time, so he said to his teammates: "Brothers!"
Hearing Bai Ran's call, the Real Madrid generals were stunned for a moment and looked in Bai Ran's direction, with a suspicious look in their eyes.
Bai Ran shouted loudly: "Let's press forward too!"
Roma's morale has already risen. If Real Madrid chooses to retreat and defend at this time, the pressure will be very high!
They want to fight Rome!
Who is afraid of whom!
Zidane also nodded. Bai Ran's idea was very good and reasonable. Attacking in this scenario is the most effective way to relieve stress.
"Listen to Bai Ran!"
Zidane also shouted loudly on the sidelines, and all Real Madrid players worked together to pull the overall formation forward a certain distance!
Fight against each other and fight against each other!
At this time, Real Madrid continued to kick off. This time Bai Ran did not choose to pass it back, but passed it to the feet of Bell on the wing.
Bell dribbles the ball and breaks through at high speed from the wing!
It's a pity that he couldn't get in and the ball was intercepted by the opponent's full-back Florenci.
This player is also the core player of Roma. In Roma, the captain is Totti and the vice-captain is De Rossi. There is no doubt that the third captain is Florenci.
Florenci saw the right moment and took a shot in time, intercepting the ball cleanly, and then Roma also launched an attack.
Florenci made a pass from the wing and the ball came to De Rossi's feet!
De Rossi looked up and gave the ball to Totti.
Totti had just scored a goal, and now his confidence soared. Taking advantage of this momentum, he advanced with the ball.
Modric stepped forward to defend. This was a collision between two midfield masters. Totti was still experienced after all. He deceived the Magic Flute with a simple change of direction. The ball was still under control at Totti's feet.
Casemiro stepped forward from behind, and Totti passed the ball directly to the feet of Salah on the wing.
After a series of fake moves on the wing, Salah handed the ball to Totti in the center without Marcelo paying attention!
Totti stopped the ball and was about to hit the goal when a figure suddenly appeared behind him!
Uh-huh!
Totti looked at his feet and there was the ball! ?
At this speed, someone just passed by me! ?
Didn't notice it! What a speed!
Totti looked back and saw that it was indeed the 17-year-old Asian kid from before, Bai Ran!
He suddenly felt dissatisfied. How could he, a man who has dominated football for decades, be subdued so easily by a young boy like you!
So Totti tried his best to chase back, but he couldn't catch up with Bai Ran!
Bai Ran has good skills and a terrifying speed of 88. Totti is already 40 years old, how can he catch up with Bai Ran!
However, facing Pjanic who was rushing towards him, Bairan slowed down the pace and the speed of advancement also slowed down.
Totti took a closer look, what a great opportunity!
So he took advantage of this opportunity and rushed in from behind at full speed, trying to intercept Bai Ran's ball.
But Bai Ran immediately opened the system template.
Totti is a veteran in football and a master whom he naturally admires, but do you know who you are facing now!
It's Zidane!
Although Bai Ran has not completed the task of scoring 20 goals, and the current Zidane template is only two stars, this is enough.
With Pjanic in front and Totti behind, Bai Ran slowly moved forward with the ball. Just when the two were double-teamed and ready to steal the ball, Bai Ran suddenly accelerated. After Marseille turned around, he ducked directly. Got rid of two people!
Damn it!
The fans were excited when they saw this scene!
This is the confrontation between old and new in football history!
With his outstanding personal ability, Bai Ran brought everyone a wonderful extraordinary show!
Seeing this, Real Madrid's forward also hurriedly moved forward, but of course a large space was leaked here!
He's still dribbling!
In order to speed up the advancement, Bai Ran first passed the ball to the feet of Ronaldo on the wing. After some adjustments, Ronaldo found that the opponent's penalty area was very tight and it was difficult to break through, so he passed the ball back to the feet of Bai Ran at the top of the penalty area. .
After the ball suddenly stopped, a feeling under his feet made him conclude that Zidane's template card time is not over yet!
Now he still has Zidane's ability and style!
So Bai Ran took two steps and started shooting directly! !
Szczesny’s pupils were shocked, the quality of this ball is so high!
Both the curvature and the strength are just right...
He groaned, leaped high and rushed towards the upper left corner of the goal. His fingertips reached the ball, but he was completely unable to stop the ball's trajectory.
The ball hit the net hard, the ball went in.
Bai Ran opened his arms and ran freely on the green lawn of the Bernabeu. Real Madrid now put the pressure on Roma again, and the four-goal gap appeared again!
This ball has fully reflected one thing - Lian Po is old!
Totti is already in his twilight years. At the age of 40, he has lost his physical strength and dexterity.
Obviously this goal started from the attack just started by Roma.
Totti lost the ball at his feet and was intercepted instantly by Bai Ran. Totti was even stunned for a moment before Bai Ran scored the goal.
His reaction really couldn't keep up.
People have to accept old age...
Totti looked up to the sky and sighed, stroking his hair.
Playing against such a young player puts him under huge pressure. It was like this in both games. Bai Ran left a deep impression on him.
This kid has a bright future and is a young man who can become something great.
But there is a world of difference between me and him.
Maybe I really should say goodbye to this city and stop dragging it down.
Real Madrid fans still sang Bai Ran's name at the Bernabeu, and the roar was overwhelming. These cheers were like needle pricks, deeply piercing the hearts of Roma fans. It won't fade away for a long time.
