After this goal, the rain in the sky seemed to become lighter.
This is Madrid's weather, just like a child's face, it changes at will.
The live score was 1:1.
The two sides are back on the same starting line again.
The fans at the scene also shouted even more energetically.
Real Madrid's team song never stops.
In the red and blue area of the stands, although no one could hear their voices, they also used their own performance to tell FC Barcelona that we will always support you.
The slippery venue made Li Mingyu, who had never experienced a rain battle, very uncomfortable.
After the kick-off, several of his passes were not in place. If it weren't for the fact that Real Madrid's passes were also unsatisfactory, Barcelona would have been counterattacked several times.
Koeman off the court also frowned slightly.
Li Mingyu The problem of inexperience has arisen.
Although Li Mingyu performed very well, it cannot be concealed that he has only played in the first team for half a season. He has participated in too few games.
Rain battles are just a special event in football matches.
You know, as a player of Barcelona, when participating in a Champions League game, you will encounter the team of Russia from time to time, and you may encounter a snow battle.
There is no comparison between the snow battle of Russia and the snow battle of Spain.
In World War II, Germany lost the war because of the winter of Russia.
However, although the opponent's Haaland is more experienced than Li Mingyu, he has no good solution when facing a rain battle.
Haaland has also fallen several times in Barcelona's half, missing many opportunities.
Rain games are really a very difficult thing for young players.
Forty minutes of the first half.
Real Madrid got a very good offensive opportunity. Since Barcelona's formation was relatively advanced, in Real Madrid's backcourt, Griezmann's ball was intercepted by Ramos, knocking Griezmann to the ground.
While Barcelona's players were still complaining to the referee, Real Madrid's counterattack began.
Casemiro received the ball and passed it diagonally to Isco in midfield.
Isco showed his excellent speed and ball control ability.
He passed two defensive players in a row and passed the football to the feet of Karim Benzema.
When Karim Benzema stopped the ball, because the football was stained with water, the speed on the turf accelerated, so he made some mistakes in stopping the ball, and the football stopped a little too big.
Pique stretched his legs and kicked the ball towards the sideline.
Karim Benzema didn't give up, rushed over and took the ball again.
But his position has reached near the sideline.
Dest, who is returning to defense, has been posted up. It seems that Karim Benzema has no way to continue attacking.
However, when Karim Benzema looked towards the middle, he found that Haaland had already rushed towards the penalty area.
Karim Benzema flicked the ball and kicked it hard towards the goal with his right foot.
Dest stretched his legs to block, but because it was too sudden, he was not able to intercept the football.
The football stuck to the ground and flew into the penalty area at a very fast speed.
According to this trajectory, the ball should be heading towards the goalkeeper.
Ter Stegen stood there, holding the football in his arms with both hands.
Be careful!
Pique roared as a reminder, causing Ter Stegen to look at the middle lane.
The moment Karim Benzema passed the ball, Haaland, like a falcon seeing its prey, shouldered Eric Garcia, who was defending him, and rushed directly into the penalty area.
Ter Stegen also didn't dare to neglect, and was ready to attack and catch the football.
However, it's too late.
The start of Haaland was even more explosive, and it was already in front of the football before Ter Stegen.
However, Ter Stegen is very experienced. When he knew that he might not be able to touch the ball first, he gave up and chose to block all possible shooting angles of Haaland.
Facing the incoming ball, Haaland's body and the goal were already at an angle of more than 90 degrees, and Ter Stegen had also blocked all angles from which he could shoot directly.
Behind Haaland, Eric Garcia was also chasing madly. When he saw Ter Stegen's position, he felt much more relaxed.
It seems that with this ball, Haaland's only option is to continue dribbling the ball, and then be forced from behind to leave the penalty area. At that time, at most he will be given a chance for a corner kick.
However, something happened that shocked him.
When Haaland faced the football, he did not choose to stop the ball. Instead, he spread his legs and waited until the football passed under his crotch. Then he knocked the football hard with his right heel.
Ter Stegen watched the football slide past his legs with a dull look on his face. He could only mechanically stretch his legs and complete a lower fork movement.
And the football has already got into the goal.
The terrifying Haaland used his talent and football IQ to play with Barcelona's defense.
Seeing this goal, Zidane on the sidelines also widened his eyes and touched his bald head in disbelief.
Zidane has a very high opinion of the player Haaland. This summer, when it came to whether to buy Mbappe or Haaland, Zidane believed that Haaland's ability was more suitable for Real Madrid's style. Therefore, the top management of Real Madrid agreed to the proposal to purchase Haaland, which brought Haaland from Dortmund to Santiago Bernabeu.
Sure enough, Haaland fully displayed his talent in Santiago Bernabeu, allowing Espanyol to see the terrifying talent of this Norway boy.
This goal fully demonstrated Haaland's football IQ and talent.
In a few tenths of a second, Haaland chose the most suitable shooting method and sent the football into Barcelona's goal.
2:1, Real Madrid overtook the score at their home court.
The entire Santiago Bernabeu was also completely activated by this goal.
This goal was a heavy blow to Barcelona's morale.
Seeing that the first half of the game is about to end, if we return to the locker room with this score, the second half of the game will be even more difficult for Barcelona.
[Detecting that the team's morale is low, activate the passive skill: Iron-Blooded Fighting Spirit. The host will recover full physical strength, the resistance to injury will be greatly improved, and the strength will be +10. The morale of the team members will be greatly improved. Duration: 5 minutes.]
Li Mingyu suddenly felt that he was full of strength. Looking at his somewhat demoralized teammates, Li Mingyu did not speak, but urged Griezmann to kick off the ball quickly.
After the kickoff, Li Mingyu, after receiving the return pass from Griezmann, accelerated directly and rushed towards Real Madrid's backcourt.
The rushing Haaland was passed cleanly by Li Mingyu and Croqueta, and then Li Mingyu passed one-two with Pedri on the wing, passing the two players of Real Madrid.
Li Mingyu's sudden start made Real Madrid's players who were still in the joy of scoring a goal unable to react.
At this time, Li Mingyu has arrived within the thirty-meter area of Real Madrid.
Li Mingyu saw that the opponent's defensive player was about three meters away from him, so he flicked the ball and stepped hard on the side of the football with his left foot, causing a big splash. His left foot tilted to 45 degrees again, and his body became twisted.
When Real Madrid's defensive player saw Li Mingyu's action, he did not dare to retreat any further. Ramos quickly stepped forward and jumped towards Li Mingyu, hoping to use his body to block Li Mingyu's shot.
However, he was still a little far away from Li Mingyu. When he got close to Li Mingyu, the football had already passed by his side with the sound of howling wind.
After landing on the ground, Ramos quickly looked back and saw goalkeeper Courtois making an all-out dive, but was unable to touch the football.
The football drew a very big line, stuck to the goal post, and got into Real Madrid's goal.
This goal made the entire Santiago Bernabeu Stadium silent again.
As for the silent Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, there are still some discordant sounds.
That was the Barcelona fans in the other stands. They didn't care that this was the home court of their mortal enemy. After seeing Li Mingyu's shocking world-wide kick, they celebrated crazily.
Zidane stood on the sidelines with a dull look on his face, looking in disbelief at the young man who was roaring and celebrating in the stadium.
Zidane's heart twitched. Last season, this young man scored five goals in El Clasico, completely putting himself and Real Madrid on the pillar of shame, which almost led to his dismissal from get out of class.
Unexpectedly, for the first time this season, El Clasico, this young man scored two consecutive goals in the first half, making the current situation even more confusing.
2:2, both sides returned to the same starting line again.
This goal came too suddenly.
Zidane had already thought about Real Madrid's tactical arrangements for the second half after taking the lead. However, Li Mingyu's goal completely overturned all his thoughts.
On the bench on the other side, all the Barcelona players rushed to the sideline regardless of the wind and rain, and celebrated crazily.
Li Mingyu's shot was such a morale booster.
Head coach Koeman ignored his own discomfort and hugged the players in the rain.
Seeing Li Mingyu surrounded by people in the stadium, Koeman couldn't help but think happily, "What a gift from God!"
At this time, it seemed that Messi's figure began to dim in the hearts of Barcelona's players and fans.
Barcelona's new king is about to ascend the throne?
Messi, who was watching the game at home, was not as excited as before after seeing the goal. Looking at his three sons who were already hugging each other and talking nonsense excitedly, Messi looked a little lonely.
The wife Antonela beside her also felt Messi's emotional changes, stretched out her hand, and placed Messi's hand in her own.
Feeling the warmth in his hands, Messi's mood improved. He smiled slightly and said, "I am very lucky that Barcelona can have Li, so even if I leave, I will feel relieved!"
Last season, Messi already had thoughts of leaving Barcelona. The chaotic management and mindless tactical arrangements have exhausted Messi's last patience.
However, the emergence of Li Mingyu caused some changes in Messi's mind.
Although Messi wants to leave Barcelona, Messi's feelings for Barcelona will never change.
His departure was because he wanted Barcelona to be reborn from the ashes, rather than letting himself become an obstacle to Barcelona's re-emergence.
However, the appearance of Li Mingyu made Messi slightly delay his idea of leaving the team. He hoped that through his prestige in Barcelona, he could push Li Mingyu to the position of leader, and then retire with success.
Just like the original Ronaldinho, in order to become the new king of Barcelona, he would rather give up his core position than become a green leaf.
Therefore, even now, Messi and Ronaldinho have a very good relationship, and they get together at Ronaldinho's home every year.
Although that is said, after seeing that Li Mingyu can independently carry the banner of Barcelona, Messi still feels a little disappointed.
However, Messi was mostly happy. After a while, with the comfort of Antonela, Messi also celebrated with his sons.
At the last moment of the first half, both sides were very cautious and did not attack rashly, for fear that the other side would seize the opportunity to counterattack.
At this time, the rain over Madrid gradually stopped.
With the referee's whistle, El Clasico's first half ended.
2:2, the two sides tied.
However, since Barcelona tied the score, the mood was different.
You can see this by looking at the expressions of the players on both sides when they come off the field.
The Real Madrid players all frowned and left the stadium in a hurry without any communication.
The players of Barcelona were talking and laughing.
Li Mingyu, Griezmann and Pedri were gesturing together, as if they were talking about tactics.
After returning to the locker room, the first thing the players from both sides did was to quickly put on a new, dry jersey.
The heavy rain in the first half not only wet everyone's jerseys, but also exhausted everyone's physical strength.
Fortunately, the rain stopped during the midfield, but there is no guarantee that it will suddenly rain again in the second half.
Koeman also urges everyone to eat some bananas to replenish their physical strength. The second half of the game may be even more difficult.
Presumably by now, Real Madrid's stadium management has begun to open the drainage system in the first half of Real Madrid's half.
It is estimated that in the second half, Barcelona will face a slippery offensive half.
