The fifteen-minute intermission went by in a blink of an eye.

Players from both sides came out of the tunnel in twos and threes and returned to the court.

Although the players all rested for fifteen minutes, it seemed that the fans from both sides in the stands did not rest.

Although there are not many Real Madrid fans, they appear to be very confident with the score advantage on the field.

As for Barcelona fans, they can only rely on strength in numbers.

After all, in their home court, Real Madrid was leading by two goals and was being suppressed on the field. Barcelona fans also felt a little guilty.

When the players from both sides returned to their respective half-courts, the referee blew the whistle and the second half of the game officially began.

Barcelona replaced Busquets with Fati, looking like he was going to strengthen his attack in the second half and fight to the death.

Real Madrid did not make any personnel adjustments. After all, these people played well in the first half of the game.

In the second half of the game, Barcelona took the first kick.

Li Mingyu received the return pass from Messi and used a fake move to pass the oncoming Haaland, winning rounds of applause from the fans at the scene.

Li Mingyu brought the ball forward across the half court, suddenly took off his right foot and made a long pass, passing the football to about 30 meters on the left wing.

Fati started running forward as soon as the ball was kicked off.

Since Real Madrid's defensive focus is still on Messi on the right and Griezmann in the center, it doesn't pay much attention to Fati, and only sends right back Odriozola to help defend him.

Unexpectedly, at the beginning of the second half, Barcelona's attack focus came to the left.

Fati, who was almost unguarded, easily stopped the high ball at his feet. Facing Odriozola, who had just reacted, Fati rushed directly towards the opponent.

A beautiful bicycle ride, Fati's feet touched the football twice, which made Odriozola's judgment wrong.

He thought that Fati was definitely going to hit the bottom and then cross the ball. Who knew that Fati, after cycling twice, directly used his right foot to move the ball to the center.

Cut inside.

Seeing Fati's sharp breakthrough, Griezmann also suddenly made a forward move, which made Nacho and Ramos who were preparing to help defend hesitate.

At this moment, Fati swung away from an angle, raised his right foot, and made a shot.

Odriozola did not dare to neglect, regardless of his staggering, he directly made a lunge and stepped forward, reaching out to grab Fati's jersey.

Fati felt the force behind him, stopped his feet, and fell to the ground.

Odriozola looked at his right hand with confusion on his face. Am I so powerful? Could it be that I have perfected it?

The referee's position was not far behind the two men. When he saw this scene, he stopped the game.

Fati sat on the ground, waving his arms angrily, signaling the referee to show the opponent a Red Gem Promotion Card because he blocked his own chance to score a goal.

Odriozola then realized, damn, I was so sloppy, I was actually deceived by this kid.

However, the referee did not listen to what Fati said. After coming over, he just took out a topaz War God card from his jacket pocket.

If Odriozola is the last defender in the action just now, the referee can directly show Red Gem Promotion Card and send him away.

Fati saw that the opponent did not get Red Gem Promotion Card, and felt a little dissatisfied, but if he could get a free kick, his goal would be achieved.

The position of this free kick is very good. It is in the ribs in front of the penalty area, about 25 meters away, which is very suitable for a right-footed free kick expert.

Li Mingyu stood behind the football without hesitation, with his hands on his hips and looking in the direction of the goal.

Courtois is directing the position of the human wall with a serious look on his face.

Five Real Madrid players stood in front of the football with black faces on their faces, forming a tall human wall.

Li Mingyu's free kick has been tested by Cristiano Ronaldo and it can really hurt people.

Seeing Li Mingyu keep retreating, the football is clearly in front of the penalty area, and his people are almost retreating to the midfield.

Damn it, is this the rhythm where you want to kick the goal through?

The referee used a spray can to draw a line in the penalty area. What is ironic is that generally speaking, when faced with a free kick, the wall will quietly move forward in an attempt to get closer to the football.

However, today's Real Madrid human wall is obviously at least one foot away from that line, and they still show signs of wanting to retreat.

Courtois has a black line on his face, damn, why don't you just retreat to the door!

The referee also left the penalty area with a weird look on his face and stood far away to avoid being accidentally injured by Li Mingyu's free kick.

Seeing that he had stood far enough away, the referee looked sympathetically at the trembling wall of Real Madrid and blew his whistle.

A whistle sounded, like a reminder, causing the five people lined up in a human wall to tense up and stare at Li Mingyu.

Li Mingyu had no expression on his face, his eyes were cold, and he started running in small steps.

Li Mingyu stands about fifteen meters away from the football, with enough running distance to make his free kick have greater kinetic energy, faster speed and stronger deterrence.

Li Mingyu's last few steps were like flying on grass, and he arrived in front of the football. His left foot was seen firmly stepping on the grass next to the football. People with sharp eyes can see that Li Mingyu's foot has left a deep footprint on the grass.

The right leg raised high, like a whip, hit the football hard.

All the fans in the stadium heard a muffled sound, and the football turned into a white lightning, and instantly came to the front of the wall from the ground.

The players of Real Madrid finally knew why the always tough Cristiano Ronaldo chose to avoid Li Mingyu's free kick.

In fact, it is not that Cristiano Ronaldo is timid, but because when people face such huge fear, they will involuntarily act to protect themselves.

The five Real Madrid players all lowered their heads and dodged in unison.

In this way, this human wall has almost no effect.

Full of holes.

The football flew past Ramos.

Ramos felt a burning pain on his arm and couldn't help but look back at the goal.

The football was already jumping playfully in the goal, while Courtois stood there without any reaction.

The ball was too fast and came out of the wall. It was impossible for any goalkeeper to react to such a ball.

The whole Camp Nou was suddenly rekindled.

Li Mingyu once again used his violent free kick to help the team score a goal.

At 2:3, the score was getting closer, and Barcelona saw hope of tying or even overtaking.

Li Mingyu's goal reminded Real Madrid again not to foul in such a dangerous place in front of the penalty area.

With a free kick master who can take free kicks as penalty kicks, this kind of foul is no different from a foul in the penalty area.

Originally, Real Madrid's tactics in the second half were very simple, which was to defend and counterattack. With a two-goal lead in hand, the game in the second half was basically in Real Madrid's hands.

However, just at the beginning of the second half, Barcelona pulled a goal back.

Now there was only one goal difference between the two teams, and the mentality of the players on both sides suddenly changed dramatically.

Real Madrid's players had a disunity of thought, and Zidane did not unify their thoughts in time, which resulted in Real Madrid playing in some confusion after kick-off.

Some people wanted to attack, others wanted to defend, and there began to be passing errors in the midfield.

Under the pressure of Li Mingyu's substitute, Luka Modric could only pass the ball back.

However, Messi judged the passing route correctly and intercepted the ball with a beautiful grab.

Stealing the ball in the backcourt is a fatal mistake.

Real Madrid's backcourt suddenly became a mess.

After receiving the ball, Messi passed the ball forward directly to Griezmann, who was already standing on the arc of the penalty area.

Griezmann is not that easy to turn around when holding the ball with his back, but Nacho behind him does not dare to stretch his legs at will and can only use his body to block the position.

However, Griezmann had no intention of coming by himself, because right in front of him, Li Mingyu was already rushing over.

After Luka Modric lost the ball, he quickly retreated to prepare for a counterattack, but Li Mingyu was faster than him and rushed past him.

Luka Modric looked desperately at Li Mingyu who was leaving.

Watch Griezmann gently return the ball to Li Mingyu.

Watching Li Mingyu kick the football in the face.

Watching the football stick to the ground, it flew out like a white lightning.

Seeing his goalkeeper Courtois stretching his body as hard as he could, the football still flew into the goal from his fingertips.

Within three minutes, Li Mingyu helped Barcelona equalize the score with two goals.

Barcelona fans expressed their inner ecstasy with hysterical cheers.

It's like a roller coaster of emotions.

From being a little desperate, now I have completely seen hope.

Li Mingyu's general performance like War God made Barcelona's fans stand up one after another and make a gesture of worship.

Messi and Griezmann were the closest. After seeing the goal, they rushed over like crazy, directly knocked Li Mingyu to the ground, and rushed forward excitedly.

Luka Modric stood sluggishly about three meters behind Li Mingyu, his mind going blank.

Real Madrid's players all have the same expression.

What happened? Just three minutes into the second half, Barcelona equalized the score.

How terrifying!

The two head coaches on the sidelines are also a duo of joy and sorrow.

Originally Koeman's face was very heavy, but now after Koeman celebrated passionately, Shi Shiran sat back in his seat, crossed his legs, and looked leisurely and at ease.

As for Zidane, the face that was still smiling was completely as cold as frost.

Zidane's eyes are about to spit out fire.

These two missed goals were a devastating blow to the team's morale.

All the arrangements made by the midfielder in the locker room were useless. In the following game, there was a two-level reversal, and Real Madrid fell into an extreme dilemma.

This is the case on the football field. Even in the first half, you may have played well, but after halftime, the opponent has adjusted its state, and if your state is not good, then it is not uncommon for you to have a shocking reversal in the first and second half.

The most classic example is naturally the 2005 Champions League finals and Istanbul night.

In the first half, AC Milan led Liverpool 3:0. Everyone felt that this time, AC Milan was a sure winner.

But in the second half, the situation suddenly changed. Liverpool seemed to be possessed by War God, scoring three goals in six minutes to equalize the score.

The whole world was stunned by that game.

In the end, Liverpool dragged the game to a penalty shootout. With the wonderful performance of the amazing goalkeeper Dudek, he defeated AC Milan and finally won the Champions League championship trophy.

Today's scene is like a repeat of the night of Istanbul.

Like War God, Li Mingyu scored two goals in three minutes at the beginning of the second half to equalize the score.

Real Madrid was beaten so hard that he was disoriented.

After the kick-off resumed, Real Madrid suddenly seemed to be unable to play football.

Barcelona, just like Real Madrid in the first half, used the power of scoring two goals in a row to start a fierce fight in Real Madrid's half.

However, Real Madrid's players are also bloody, and when faced with Barcelona's crazy pressing, their moves became more aggressive.

The referee's whistle kept sounding, players from both sides were constantly being pulled and tackled in the midfield, and the game was broken into pieces by fouls.

This is where Real Madrid is so sophisticated.

Seeing that the opponent is gaining momentum, avoid its edge, fight fiercely, and even use fouls to stop the opponent's attack.

In this kind of physical fight, Barcelona's players' minds started to heat up. The advantage they should have had was wiped out by Real Madrid's "rogue" tactics.

Koeman, who was sitting there, could no longer sit still. He kept walking around the sidelines. When he saw his own player being pulled and knocked to the ground, he rushed to the side of the fourth official and loudly denounced his opponent's shameless behavior.

The same was true for Zidane. When he saw his player falling to the ground, he rushed to the fourth official angrily and accused Barcelona's player of moving too much and needed to give a warning card.

The distance between Koeman and Zidane was only two or three meters, and they could hear each other's words. They continued to attack each other with words, and finally the fourth official had to call the referee over.

The referee seriously warned the coaches of both sides, hoping that they could restrain their emotions, otherwise, he would not mind sending them to the stage to enjoy the game with Red Gem Promotion Card.
