Revenge On China's Soccer World, World Cup Helps Fight C La

Chapter 160



Just when the outside world was disagreeing about Messi's whereabouts, the Champions League 1/8 first-leg final was in smoke.

At Anfield, Liverpool and Real Madrid are about to meet each other.

In the last five meetings between the two sides in the Champions League, Real Madrid has a clear advantage of 4 wins, 1 draw, 8 goals scored and 2 goals conceded.

This battle is once again, facing the menacing Real Madrid, Liverpool fans can be described as palpitating.

After all, their home team has yet to win against Real Madrid in the Champions League.

In the Premier League, Liverpool's performance this season can be said to be a river.

Their previous impregnable offensive and defensive system, in the match against Newcastle United, was visibly loosened.

The offensive and defensive ends can be described as frequent mistakes and loopholes.

At the moment, Liverpool's squad is a little old, and the core system built by Alisson, Van Dijk, Fabinho and Salah is showing fatigue.

And Nunez's performance is even more difficult to say, and new talents such as Gakpo have not yet shown domineering.

As the saying goes, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Despite Liverpool's overall decline, its offensive and defensive system built around a number of stars remains competitive.

In the group stage of the Champions League this season, Liverpool have combined to score 17 goals in 12 assists, averaging 2.9 goals per game.

But its backline, which has conceded an average of one goal per game, also makes it difficult for fans to relax, after all, they will face the famous Real Madrid today.

And Yuqin, who is in hot form in the Premier League, still has a Champions League loan clause in Real Madrid, and Liverpool's life and death at Anfield have made fans sweat.

On the other hand, Real Madrid's momentum has slowed this season, and last season's watertight defensive line has been slightly unstable this season.

However, Real Madrid have a strong and well-structured squad and a powerful core system built around players such as Benzema, Vinicius, Valverde and Joan Armeni.

Not to mention that Yu Qin will also be in this match, and in the last Spanish Super Cup final, he had an invincible performance in the big four.

Even if Yuqin aside, this season's Champions League group stage, Real Madrid combined to complete 9 assists and score 15 goals, averaging 2.5 goals per game and scoring equally luxuriously.

Anfield Stadium, live commentary room.

"In this Champions League 1/8 first-leg final, Liverpool have recovered their strength, but their form is not stable enough."

"In particular, the central axis around Van Dijk, Fabinho and Salah has shown signs of fatigue, while new talents such as Núñez and Gakpo have not yet developed the ability to stand alone."

"Compared to their opponents, Real Madrid have a well-structured squad of unparalleled thickness, and they are comfortable in formation."

"Core bodies built on cutting-edge forces such as Vinicius, Joan Armeni and Camagaven have begun to show their power."

"In this matchup, they also have a killer tool like Yuqin, and it may not be easy for Liverpool to defend the dignity of their home stadium."

'However, Liverpool, sitting on the advantage of home turf, is also fully capable of creating a substantial threat to Real Madrid's not very robust defence.

"Let's see what kind of sparks Yuqin will rub with them again under the leadership of veterans such as Benzema and Modric."

"Liverpool's starting line-up for this game is: 1 Allison, 66 Alexander-Arnold, 2 Gomes, 4 Van Dijk, 26 Robertson, 14 Henderson, 3 Fabinho, 43 Bayčetić, 11 Salah, 27 Núñez, 18 Gakpo."

"Real Madrid starters: 1 Courtois, 2 Carvajal, 3 Militão, 4 Alaba, 22 Rudiger, 10 Modric, 12 Camavinga, 15 Valverde, 9 Benzema, 20 Vinicius, 7 Yuqin."

"After Yuqin joined the team, Real Madrid striker Rodrigo really did not have a starting position, but Real Madrid's bench was even more terrifying."

"Real Madrid substitutes 13 - Luning, 5 - Vallejo, 6 - Nacho, 8 - Kroos, 11 - Asensio..."

....

Before the start of this 1/8 final, many professionals had predicted that one of the two teams with unstable defenses would win a big victory in this match.

After the start of the game, the situation was not unsurprisingly.

In the 4th minute of the game, Salah sent a cross from the right, and Nunez moved his heel to complete the goal!

Liverpool took a surprise lead just four minutes into the game.

Liverpool 1:0 Real Madrid!

Under the cheerful gaze of the Reds fans, Liverpool began to beat the Real Madrid goal in a one-sided situation.

Just 10 minutes after taking the lead, Liverpool magically went to the next city.

In the 14th minute of the game, Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois handled the ball incorrectly, Salah broke the ball and stabbed a shot to score directly!

Yuqin has yet to get into shape with the cooperation of the Real Madrid crowd, and the team is already two goals behind Liverpool.

If the first goal was due to Nunez's brave play, the second goal was completely caused by a "super super-big" mistake by Real Madrid goalkeeper Carl Toyes.

However, unlike Newcastle United goalkeeper Karius, Courtois did not make such a fatal mistake in the final.

Liverpool 2:0 Real Madrid!

Just when most people thought that Reds Liverpool would stage a perfect comeback at home.

Salah's goal directly ignited the anger of the Real Madrid players, and Benzema and Yuqin once again staged a god-level cooperation in the Spanish Super Cup.

But this time, the person who made the ball became Yuqin.

In the 21st minute of the game, Yuqin made a wonderful ball in front of the Liverpool penalty area, and Benzema volleyed in the middle of the field!

Real Madrid 1:2 Liverpool!

After the two high-fived in celebration, they continued to march wildly.

The attacking Real Madrid had not yet equalised, and bad news came from the back.

Full-back Alaba was injured and unable to hold on, and Nacho was on the verge of being killed.

Although a substitute spot was used early, Alaba's injury did not affect Real Madrid's momentum at all.

After all, Liverpool's second goal was given to them by Real Madrid, and at this time, there was only one point left behind and there was no pressure at all for Real Madrid.

Facing the Reds Liverpool, Real Madrid always have a sense of superiority suppressed by blood.

So even because of the mistake of goalkeeper Courtois, the team fell behind by two goals.

At that time, the first thing Real Madrid felt was anger, not fear, which was the benefit of psychological superiority.

In the enemy's home stadium, and it is two goals behind, Real Madrid's first reaction is to "rise up and kill"!

And they did, and that's what scares them the most.
