During the halftime break, fifteen minutes flew by and the players from both sides returned to the court again.
Madrid City is already full of lights, and Santiago Bernabeu Stadium is also brightly lit outside.
Although many fans cannot enter the stadium to cheer for their favorite team in person, they are in the big square outside, watching the live broadcast on the big screen, singing and dancing to cheer for their team.
Fans of Real Madrid and Barcelona were clearly divided into two camps outside the stadium.
Since the two teams have El Clasico at least twice a year, although the fans of the two teams are hostile, they are also very restrained.
Even last season, Barcelona scored 6 goals in Santiago Bernabeu and bloodbathed Real Madrid. After the end, Real Madrid fans did not embarrass Barcelona fans and looked very graceful.
After all, this is not England.
With the referee's whistle, the second half of El Clasico's game officially began.
In the second half, Barcelona kicked off the ball first.
Griezmann kicked the ball towards his own half. After receiving the ball, Li Mingyu faced the rushing Haaland and passed the ball back to De Jong. Then he quickly pulled away to create space for De Jong's pass.
Li Mingyu is now very proficient in using Xavi's "Double Triangle Attack" idea.
In the midfield, due to the presence of Li Mingyu, the team playing against Barcelona always feels that Barcelona needs one more person in the midfield.
In every game, Li Mingyu's running distance ranked first in the game.
A lot of running, frequent moves, and a crushing number of passes in the field. This is why the entire team of Barcelona can operate so well now.
In terms of statistics in the first half, Li Mingyu still leads the field.
Although Li Mingyu was somewhat uncomfortable with the slippery court, he still managed Barcelona very clearly with his strong sense of the ball and his speed.
As soon as the second half started, Li Mingyu discovered that when the football was in its own half, it was very smooth. As soon as it was passed to Real Madrid's half, it would splash a lot of water every time it landed. Many short passes required greater strength to pass in place.
Sure enough, Real Madrid still used the same moves as in the first half.
However, since the weather became clear in the second half, after all, the drainage design of Santiago Bernabeu Stadium is still very advanced. After five minutes, the water accumulation in the stadium was significantly reduced.
Fortunately, Real Madrid is not as shameless as some teams. Seeing that it didn't rain, they directly used the water in the field during the halftime break.
You know, in football matches, properly ensuring the turf is moist can make the football roll faster, which is a good thing for teams that like to pass and control.
However, the saying "too much is not enough" is very reasonable. The right amount of water is of course very good, but if it is watered too much and if the drainage is not timely, water will appear in the field. In this way, when the football hits the water, many problems will occur.
For a team that likes to pass the ball, this is a disaster.
After the start of the second half, the two sides conducted tests for about ten minutes. After all, this was El Clasico, and neither player dared to act rashly.
The goal in the first half has told everyone that you must not make mistakes because there are superstars on both sides who can catch your mistakes.
If you don't pay attention, Haaland and Li Mingyu will teach you how to behave.
Until the 65th minute of the second half, Haaland got an excellent opportunity in the frontcourt of Barcelona.
Barcelona's offense made a mistake in catching the ball in Real Madrid's half. When Pedri received the pass from Li Mingyu, his feet obviously slipped and the ball stopped a little far away from him. As a result, the opponent's defensive player took the first kick and poked the ball into Barcelona's half.
The ball happened to fall at the feet of Haaland who retreated to midfield.
After Haaland got the ball, he quickly turned around, moved forward, and threw Busquets behind him.
Haaland quickly rushed forward in the middle.
Haaland, running at full speed, really has the feeling of a horse-riding joint venture when Bale was in Real Madrid.
Since this was a sudden and quick counterattack, Barcelona's defensive players were caught off guard.
Facing the charging Haaland, almost all the Barcelona players stood still and were passed by Haaland one by one.
The fans at the scene followed Haaland's breakthrough, and the noise became louder and louder, as if they were beating war drums to cheer for the general who entered the enemy camp.
Haaland is wearing a white robe, and it really feels like Zhao Yun is in and out seven times.
After all, it is "Liu Lande" who represents the Kingdom of Shu. It is understandable to transform into the fourth brother Zhao Yun, as long as he does not become Zhao Si.
Haaland suddenly changed his line, shook the last defensive player away, rushed directly into the penalty area, and faced Ter Stegen with a single goal.
Haaland was about to lift his foot to open the door when he felt like a mountain was pressing down on his back. His legs went weak and he fell directly to the ground.
The referee's whistle also sounded promptly.
Haaland looked back at the referee and found that the referee's finger was pointing directly at the penalty spot next to him, and he clenched his fists excitedly.
Moreover, the referee took out Red Gem Promotion Card directly from his pocket, showed it to Pique who was overpowering Haaland from behind, and asked him to leave the court directly.
Pique also looked helpless. As the last line of defense, Haaland easily broke through. He could only make this choice. After all, this game was too important for Barcelona.
Pique smiled bitterly and shook his head, hoping that Ter Stegen could save the penalty kick, then his sacrifice would be worth it.
However, other Barcelona players gathered around and put pressure on the referee, thinking that this Red Gem Promotion Card was a bit harsh.
But the referee was unmoved and stretched out his hands to signal the Barcelona players to stay away from him.
On the other side, Real Madrid also has some problems.
Haaland and Karim Benzema both stand on the penalty spot.
Haaland held the football and looked at Karim Benzema with an unhappy expression.
And Karim Benzema also said something to him with an unhappy look on his face.
Because, although Haaland has a higher tactical priority after coming to Real Madrid this season, as Zidane, he will not allow imbalances in his team.
Therefore, the first penalty kicker in the team is still Karim Benzema.
But young Haaland very much hopes that he can complete his hat trick in El Clasico, and also hopes that through this penalty kick, he can continue to lead Li Mingyu in the number of goals scored in this field.
What's more, since he created this penalty kick himself and takes it himself, there should be no problem!
However, as the team's top scorer last season, the appearance of Haaland has already reduced his tactical status. However, Karim Benzema, who is low-key, does not want to have any trouble with Haaland.
But penalty kicks are taken by yourself, which is your own benefit. As a forward, penalty kicks are the easiest way to score goals.
Seeing that Haaland is so famous now, Karim Benzema feels very uncomfortable. He finally got a chance to take a penalty kick, but he has to give it to you. I am your father, and I will pamper you all day long.
Karim Benzema This time, there was no intention of backing down at all. He just stood at the penalty spot with a look of deep dissatisfaction on his face.
Haaland is also a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers. He thinks that he is now the best player of Real Madrid. Everyone wants to revolve around him. He and Karim Benzema also started to push up the bull.
Zidane on the sidelines looked at this scene on the court with a livid face, and his eyes were filled with anger.
In such a crucial game, our own players brought the conflicts in the locker room to the court, showing in front of fans all over the world how disunited our Real Madrid team is.
The gentle Zidane finally couldn't restrain his inner anger and roared loudly on the court.
As a result, with the mediation of captain Ramos and others, Haaland cursed and slammed the football to the ground, and then left the penalty area without looking back.
Looking at the unruly Haaland, the face of Zidane off the court became increasingly ugly.
Super stars need to have a temper, but if you can't control your temper, you won't get far!
In Haaland's disdainful eyes, Karim Benzema succeeded in one fell swoop. The excited Karim Benzema roared and rushed to the edge of the stands, showing his joy to the fans.
Haaland just watched from afar, not wanting to come over and join in the fun.
This scene made Real Madrid fans feel uneasy. What's going on? Why is there something wrong with our team again?
Seeing the score that his team was overtaken again, Li Mingyu didn't feel too depressed. Instead, he showed a smile when he looked at Real Madrid's two forwards.
Real Madrid, don't look at you smiling happily now, be careful about making lists in the future.
As a result, in the next game, the frontcourt duo of Real Madrid completely fell into a one-on-one fight, and no one could see the other.
Barcelona Although one person is missing, the offense is still going strong.
In the 75th minute, Griezmann received a scalpel-like through ball from Li Mingyu that passed through five defensive players, faced the goalkeeper, and scored the equalizing goal.
After scoring the goal, Griezmann pushed away the defensive players who rushed towards him to celebrate, trotted all the way to Li Mingyu, and directly held Li Mingyu in his arms.
This pass was simply a stroke of genius.
Griezmann couldn't see the football at Li Mingyu's feet at that time, but saw a fleeting gap, so he tentatively stepped in.
After all, this is also the habit of forward players, who want to step in whenever there is a gap.
As a result, when Griezmann plugged in, he found a football passed from the defender's side.
The ball was passed very tricky, it was passed so hard that you couldn't reach it, but you had the feeling that you could reach it.
Therefore, Ramos was shaken for a moment. When he was sure that he could not reach it, he turned his face and saw Griezmann appearing in the penalty area, receiving the ball and preparing to shoot.
Ramos quickly raised his hand to indicate that Griezmann was offside.
But neither the referee nor the linesman said anything.
Griezmann easily scored the ball and the score became 3:3.
Sure enough, it's El Clasico, a goal battle!
After the goal, Real Madrid's head coach couldn't stand it any longer and waved his hand directly, replacing Karim Benzema with Vinicius.
This substitution made Karim Benzema very angry. He walked to the sidelines with an unhappy look on his face, gave Vinicius a light high-five, and then returned to the bench.
Zidane patted his back when he passed by, but Karim Benzema's face was ashen and he didn't show any sign.
After Vinicius came on the court, Real Madrid's frontcourt offense also returned to normal.
Vinicius, who had just come on the field, used his abundant physical strength to run left and right in Barcelona's backcourt, making Barcelona's defense miserable.
Seeing this, Koeman also started to mobilize his troops.
The exhausted Dest was replaced, and Mingueza came on as a substitute, partnering with Eric Garcia as a central defender.
Araujo comes on the field, replacing Busquets and De Jong as a partner in the defensive midfielder position.
Barcelona restored the lineup of four defenders, plus De Jong, five defensive players in the midfield and backcourt.
Koeman's intention is already obvious, he wants to keep this draw.
Zidane will not agree to let the other side off on his home court.
Toni Kroos comes off the field and Valverde comes on, playing as the left winger.
Barcelona's lineup changed to a 4-1-3-1, while Real Madrid's lineup changed to a 4-3-3 offensive lineup.
The average age of Real Madrid's three forwards is only 21 years old. These three young guys turned Barcelona's backcourt upside down.
However, since Vinicius and Valverde needed to cooperate with Haaland's offense, it was very awkward for them to play. Several good opportunities had to be given to Haaland.
When Haaland was competing for a penalty kick, Haaland was already a little unbalanced. He was eager to score and let his performance surpass Li Mingyu. As a result, haste makes waste. He had two excellent opportunities, one hit the goal post, and the other time was too upright and Ter Stegen took the ball into his arms.
Until the 85th minute, there was still no change in the score on the field.
Barcelona had one less player to fight, so Real Madrid kept the lineup in his own half. It looked like it was in danger and could be scored at any time.
However, Barcelona's toughness is very good, and Real Madrid's many attacks failed.
Real Madrid got a chance for a corner kick.
Ramos also ran over from his own backcourt, preparing to participate in this attack.
Due to the small number of people, even Li Mingyu would arrive in the penalty area of Barcelona, preparing to participate in this defense.
The whistle sounded and Luka Modric took the corner kick.
