Chapter 341 Fancy Card Advancement: Two and a Half Stars!

Real Madrid finally won this game without any bloodshed.

Real Betis was also relieved to finally complete the game.

Playing against Real Madrid is really stressful!

After this game, there was actually not much rest time left for Real Madrid.

Because on the next third day, Real Madrid ushered in another Champions League group match.

Dortmund currently leads the group, followed by Real Madrid in second place, Sporting Lisbon in third place, and Legia Warsaw at the bottom.

Real Madrid's next opponent is Legia Warsaw.

This is the first time the two sides have met in European competition. Real Madrid has won all six previous matches against Polish teams.

Legia Warsaw had only won against Atletico Madrid in 1971 in its previous eight games against Spanish teams. The other seven games had two draws and five losses.

Real Madrid were unbeaten in 22 games in all competitions and unbeaten in 14 home games since February.

Real Madrid is looking forward to eight consecutive home wins in the Champions League, having won 27 of its previous 31 home games in the Champions League.

Ronaldo, Asensio and Danilo took turns.

Modric has had two weeks of rest, Bai Ran is still starting, and Casemiro is still unable to play due to injury.

Players from both sides arrived at the Bernabeu early in the morning.

The coach of Legia Warsaw faced a huge test. After this game, the decisive moment arrived.

If the team under Majira cannot score all three points in today's game, it will theoretically bid farewell to this UEFA Champions League.

Originally, they had no intention of reaching the knockout stage with Dortmund and Real Madrid watching. As a weak team, this kind of team is basically cannon fodder.

The pregame ceremony went very smoothly.

After the players on both sides shook hands and greeted each other, they began to walk into the center of the court.

Bai Ran and the Real Madrid players were full of energy and aimed to win three points.

As the referee's whistle blows, the game begins!

Real Madrid took the initiative after the start.

Ronaldo's long-range shot in front of the penalty area was blocked, and then his shot from the right side of the penalty area was also blocked.

The Poles' counterattack was quite threatening. Jodwowitz's low shot from the right side of the penalty area was blocked by Navas with his legs.

Cristiano Ronaldo gave Bai Ran an assist, and their roles were reversed at this moment!

It can be seen that Ronaldo's assist ability and Bai Ran's scoring ability are also very outstanding.

Bai Ran once again used his amazing performance to prove to the world that he was the strongest attacker on the planet.

He came to the sidelines to celebrate passionately and was deeply remembered by the fans.

Bai Ran's goal is so cool!

Before halftime, Hrusek made a pass, but Radovic missed the opportunity.

As a result, the game entered the intermission stage, with Real Madrid temporarily leading 3-1.

With Bai Ran's passing and shooting, as well as his quick movements in the midfield, Real Madrid's advantage is very obvious.

During the game, they had 62% ball possession.

And the passing success rate is also very high.

All this relies on Real Madrid having a very strong midfield system.

There is no suspense in this game, it is so shocking!

Real Madrid's dominance continues!

During this year, Real Madrid showed great competitiveness to people.

All doubts disappeared at this moment.

Legia Warsaw was helpless and Real Madrid was beaten to a pulp!

This goal also declared the irreversibility of the result of the game. It is basically impossible for Legia Warsaw to chase three goals at the Bernabeu.

After that, Asensio's outside shot was confiscated.

Benzema made a pass from the right side of the penalty area, and Ronaldo volleyed from 12 yards and missed the right post.

Kovacic replaces Asensio.

In the 85th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo broke through to attract the defense and then passed straight. Morata shot into the near corner from 8 yards in the left rib of the penalty area, 5-1!

It’s not easy!

Morata's goal!

Before that, Morata was even nicknamed the "King of Yue". Nine out of ten of his goals were offside!

And frequent mistakes have also made this player controversial in the outside world.

But Morata got this goal just right.

At the same time, this also helped Morata complete another goal statistic in the Champions League.

After that, Nikolic got rid of the two defenders and shot from the right side of the penalty area but Navas saved it.

Cristiano Ronaldo turned and volleyed with his left foot from the edge of the penalty area but was lifted over the crossbar by the goalkeeper. Benzema's header from close range went wide during the melee from a corner kick.

There are constant opportunities on the field, but there are not as many goals as expected.

The referee also looked at his watch and finally blew the whistle to end the game.

Real Madrid once again showed great strength in the Champions League, easily defeating Legia Warsaw 5-1!

However, this game did not allow Real Madrid to top the group.

The specific situation depends on the other side, Dortmund's match against Sporting Lisbon.

To be honest, compared to Real Madrid vs. Legia Warsaw, the other side is more interesting. After all, Sporting Lisbon's overall strength is still relatively strong.

I wonder if Dortmund can continue its previous strength!

For Dortmund, it can be said that it has been raining all night recently. Not only has the team's record been average, but it has also suffered from very serious injuries.

"Little Rocket" Royce, one of the core members of the frontcourt, has not recovered from a long-term injury, while midfielder Castro has a torn adductor muscle. On the defense line, Subotic has also undergone surgery, and Schuerle, another killer in the frontcourt, also suffered a knee injury.

Like Castro, Bender also has some problems with his adductor muscles. Of course, in addition to these people, Bender and Durm have also been confirmed to be unable to appear in this Champions League group stage.

9 generals cannot play! This can almost be said to have damaged more than half of Dortmund's main lineup, especially in the frontcourt. Both international players Schürrle and Royce were unable to appear, and Tuchel's only trump card was Aubameyang. And Gotze, who just returned from Bayern this season.

Whether these two can support Dortmund's offensive line will probably be the key to whether Dortmund can take away 3 points from the away game.

Of course, injuries to Subotic, Durm and others have made things worse for Dortmund's defense.

It can be said that Dortmund's lineup is stretched thin in this game. How will Tuchel adjust to such a situation?

What impact will such large-scale attrition have on Dortmund?

Although plagued by injuries, as the Bundesliga's recognized strength is second only to Bayern, there is no doubt that Dortmund's hard power is still higher than their opponent Sporting Lisbon in this game.

However, Dortmund's recent performance has disappointed the fans. Since its draw with Real Madrid in the last round of the Champions League, Dortmund, which returned to the Bundesliga, has failed to win two consecutive games. First, it was defeated by its old rival Bayer Leverkusen in the away game. Then they returned to home and were tied by Hertha Berlin, who had a strong performance this season. They were even suppressed by their opponents in the Bundesliga standings.

It can be said that Dortmund is in urgent need of a victory, and compared to Hertha Berlin, which has performed very well in the Bundesliga this season, the Portuguese giant Sporting Lisbon may be slightly easier to deal with.

Even if the camp is full of injured soldiers, I am afraid that Tuchel's goal for this visit is to aim at three points. This is not only for the team to secure a place in the top 16 of the Champions League, but also for the recent poor performance. Can Dortmund regain morale.

This is equally important for whether they can find their form when they return to the league.

Can Dortmund regain its confidence from Sporting Lisbon? The result of this game is worth looking forward to.

Although Dortmund intends to win Sporting Lisbon away from home to rebuild confidence, in fact, taking away 3 points in this Portuguese away game is by no means an easy task for the Germans.

Sporting Lisbon's recent performance is an out-and-out "home dragon."

Although their record in away games is mediocre, it is difficult for any team to beat them at home. Sporting Lisbon has maintained a winless record in its last five home games.

Naturally, they also hope to use this momentum to win Dortmund, their most direct competitor for the group qualifying spot, at home.

Dortmund currently has 1 win and 1 draw in the first two rounds and is tied with Real Madrid on 4 points, while Sporting Lisbon is close behind with 1 win and 1 loss in the first two rounds. If they can win Dortmund with home advantage in this game, they will The number of points will exceed that of the opponent and occupy a more advantageous position in the competition for the right to qualify for the group.

Can the Portuguese capitalize on their strong home ground to beat Dortmund? This will also become a major highlight of this game.

Dortmund arranged a 4141 formation for this game, with Aubameyang riding forward alone, Pulisic and Dembele flying on both wings, Gotze and Shinji Kagawa forming an offensive duo, and Weigel as a single defensive midfielder.

On the back line, Papastathopoulos and Bartra partnered as central defenders, Paslak and Ginter were on the left and right, and the goalkeeper was still Burki.

Here's what makes up Dortmund's squad.

At present, Dortmund is in poor condition and has suffered injuries. Schmelzer, Guerrero, Schürrer and others are unable to play. They have only achieved 2 draws and 1 loss in the past 3 games in all competitions. They are in the top 2 of the Champions League. In the first round of the match, Dortmund defeated the Warsaw Legion, tied with Real Madrid, and temporarily ranked first in the group.

Lisbon is temporarily ranked third in the group, only 1 point behind Dortmund and Real Madrid. Lisbon has the advantage of sitting at home in this campaign. If it wants to gain the initiative to advance, it must capture Dortmund. At present, Lisbon has achieved 4 unbeaten games in all competitions, and this campaign is striving for 5 consecutive home wins. However, the main midfielder A. Silva was absent due to injury, and the coach was suspended.

In front of the TV, Bai Ran was also watching the game attentively.

It's not that he is idle and wants to watch the game, but Real Madrid will also face Dortmund next. The second match between the two teams is about to begin. Bai Ran wants to see if there is anything in Dortmund's style of play. The flaws can be grasped.

After all, the last time the two teams played against each other was a draw, and Real Madrid did not take any advantage from the Hornets.

This shows how strong the Hornets are this season!

The match between Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon has quietly begun.

In the second minute of the game, Gerson Martins' long shot flew out of the baseline.

In the 9th minute that followed, Gotze sent a wonderful pass from the center. Aubameyang forced his right wing away from Zeglar's defense and broke into the penalty area. Then he calmly shot and hit the lower left corner.

The ball is there!

Dortmund leads Sporting Lisbon 1-0.

Bai Ran frowned and took a breath, Aubameyang's personal ability is too strong!

In this ball, Aubameyang almost used his speed and body to throw the opponent behind him. He didn't have any skills, just a strong breakthrough!

In the 23rd minute, Ginter passed the ball from the right, and Pulisic's shot into the penalty area missed.

In the 29th minute of the game, Gerson Martins made a pass and Dost's header missed the left post.

Three minutes later, the situation on the field changed again. Elias' shot was saved by Burki. Two minutes later, Dembele made a breakthrough pass and Aubameyang's header went wide to the right. outside the column.

Dortmund has constant opportunities in this game!

In the 35th minute, Aubameyang's shot from the center of the penalty area was bravely blocked by the goalkeeper.

Four minutes later, Sporting Lisbon finally scored a goal, but the goal was invalid because of a collision with the goalkeeper.

Subsequently, Gotze also sent a wonderful pass, and Aubameyang's shot missed the right post.

In the 43rd minute when the game was about to end, Weigel broke through in the middle and fired an angry shot from the top of the arc. The ball hit the lower left corner of the goal.

The ball hit the opponent's goal again, and Dortmund led Sporting Lisbon 2-0 at halftime.

These two goals fully demonstrated the terrifying strength of the Hornets, and Bai Ran's heart trembled when he saw them.

No wonder this team can tie with Real Madrid.

Their youthful storm swept the stadium, and the players running wildly all over the field almost seemed to be unable to run to death!

In the 56th minute of the game, Gerson Martins passed the ball and Dost hit the goal from the right side of the penalty area. Three minutes later, Dembele made a pass and Papastathopoulos's header missed the right post.

In the 65th minute, Baltra passed back in the penalty area and Burki violated the law by catching the ball with his hand. The referee awarded an indirect free kick in the penalty area.

Then William Carvalho scored the ball with his heel, and Bruno Cesar hit with a powerful shot!

Sporting Lisbon tied the score at 1-2.

The strength of the Portuguese Super League cannot be underestimated!

In the 69th minute, Zeglar made a pass and Dost's header missed the goal.

The pace of the game became slower and slower, and in the 78th minute, Pulisic's long-range shot hit the crossbar.

Before the final moment, in the 83rd minute of the game, Campbell passed the ball and Gerson Martins' shot from the right side of the penalty area missed the far corner.

This is also the last offensive opportunity of the game...

In the end, Dortmund defeated Sporting Lisbon 2-1.

They took another three points to top the group standings, ahead of Real Madrid on goal difference.

Looking at the whole game, Dortmund scored two goals with 10 attacks and 3 shots on target, while Sporting Lisbon scored 1 goal with 5 shots on target from 10 times. Dortmund's ball possession rate reached 58%, which was higher than Sporting Lisbon's 42%.

Bai Ran also understood the horror of Dortmund. What he had to do now was to go to Zidane immediately to discuss what he needed to focus on for the next game against Dortmund.

After that, Bai Ran had already stuffed attribute points into his fancy SSS card.

Now Bai Ran's style has grown to the level of two and a half stars.

Don't underestimate this mere half-star, it's nothing like before.

Bai Ran was already eager to try it out, wanting to quickly start the next game so he could test out the usefulness of his newly acquired skills.
