Chapter 215 Bayern Munich's Fierce Attack, Atletico Madrid Is in Critical Situation
In the 12th minute, Lewandowski successfully counter-robbed Felipe on the right side of the front court. When Atletico Madrid's players were not paying attention, Lewandowski hit the opponent's player and bounced out of the baseline.
This goal was crucial because it led to Lewandowski winning the first corner kick for Bayern in the whole game!
Xabi Alonso took a corner kick, and the ball was kicked in front of the goal. Boateng's head shot posed a huge threat to the goal. The angle of the ball was extremely tricky and the power was also strong.
But fortunately, at this time, goalkeeper Oblak exerted his strength again and made a desperate dive to keep the ball out of the door.
It has to be said that Oblak's performance in this Champions League can be said to be super god-level.
He can save all kinds of must-goals, which is simply a cheating existence!
But I thought Atletico Madrid could escape, but I didn't expect that Lewandowski, who inserted from the back, immediately noticed the opportunity to make up the empty goal with his sensitive sense of smell in front of the goal. He caught up before everyone else and shot, blasting open the door of Atletico Madrid!
The ball went in!
The players on the Real Madrid side were sitting on chairs enjoying food and sake, and they were also sighing when they saw this goal.
"Oh!... Beautiful!"
"Lewandowski is still strong!"
Everyone couldn't help but sigh that Bayern's strength should not be underestimated, especially their firepower on the offensive line, which is very fierce!
Bayern's goal laid the foundation. They lost to Atletico Madrid 1-0 in the first round. This goal brought the two teams back to the same level.
In this Allianz Arena, Bayern continued to play with a 1-0 advantage at home.
And Atletico's previous lead was gone, and now they have to start a new contest with Bayern from 0.
Since Atletico's goal in the first round was also at home, the current away goals of the two teams are all 0. At this stage of the game, who will score the next goal is a crucial thing.
Atletico's expression was a little indifferent. In the first round, they already knew what level Bayern was. As long as they maintain the counterattack posture in the first round and increase their defense, they still have a good chance to play Bayern.
It is not difficult to see that Simeone also put a lot of effort and thought into this game.
But at this time, the team was 0-1 behind, which made the head coach feel a little uneasy.
The situation on the field became more and more tense!
The Real Madrid players who were not on the field were in a happier mood than ever before. It was a beautiful thing in the world to be able to enjoy such a thrilling game. What made them feel even more comfortable was that the players on the field were not themselves!
They had not experienced this relaxed mentality for a long time.
In the 15th minute, the situation on the field suddenly changed. Atletico Madrid played their signature counterattack. Godin, as a defender with good passing accuracy, directly passed the ball to Gabi's feet.
Gabi had a flat front and broke through vertically. When he was dribbling the ball, the Bayern players seemed to wake up and suddenly realized that they had to mark him.
At this time, Gabi suddenly shot a cold arrow 28 meters away from the goal!
Shoot!
Fortunately, Neuer was very focused and took the ball off with a diving dive.
Gabi looked a little frustrated, shaking his right hand as if blaming himself.
"Should Gabi handle this ball like this?"
Modric shook his head.
"It's feasible, but it's not the best way."
"I think he should slow down the pace and seek cooperation from his teammates."
"What do you think, Bai Ran?"
Bai Ran was asked, then froze for a moment, and said: "I think he should pass all Bayern's defenders, and then pick the ball and shoot."
Huh?
All the players on the Real Madrid side looked at Bai Ran with a smile on their faces.
And Bai Ran was puzzled, why are you looking at me?
These players smiled bitterly in their hearts, Bai Ran actually said this sentence so lightly!
That's the southern star Bayern! The perennial overlord of the Bundesliga and one of the strongest competitors in the Champions League. Their defense line is also very solid and rock-solid, with top defenders like Boateng and Martinez guarding!
If anyone says "My suggestion is to pass them one by one", they will definitely be ridiculed and despised by these people, because those who say such things are either ambitious or don't understand football at all.
But there is an exception, that is Bai Ran!
These teammates have certainly seen Bai Ran's ability. Others say this is nonsense, but when it comes to Bai Ran, he probably has the ability to do it.
You are a genius like a monster, you can't ask Gabi to do the same! ?
Not everyone can be as unreasonable as you!
This is also the reason why Real Madrid fans smiled bitterly.
Two minutes later, Bayern attacked again, attacking from the left. Bayern's Ribery was very fast and had a lot of speed. After holding the ball, facing Koke, he easily knocked the ball with his heel and passed the midfielder.
This goal also attracted cheers in the screening room of Real Madrid!
Ribery is worthy of being the King of Allianz. His skills are amazing!
Even though the opposing players may be future opponents, Real Madrid players were still amazed by this goal.
It was really wonderful and beautiful!
Facing such an opponent, I wonder if Carvajal can withstand the pressure.
If Real Madrid meets Bayern in the final, it will be a tough battle!
Ribery dribbled into the edge of the penalty area, cut inside and Godin in the middle came to block Ribery's shooting route, but Scarface just cut inside and did not choose to shoot, but passed the ball to Vidal in the middle!
Vidal shot with his left foot in front of the top of the penalty area!
Oblak got the ball steadily with a bang, and the ball was safe!
Atletico's defense is as solid as a city gate. If the opponent rushes up with a machete, they will definitely sigh and have no way to deal with such a defense of Atletico.
But facing this Bayern at this moment, their attack line is like a delicate and sharp dagger, which can penetrate into your defense line without any holes.
This makes Atletico extremely embarrassed to deal with it!
This is why after the first round, many people are saying that "Bayern is the most restrained Atletico".
In the 20th minute of the game, Boateng suddenly made a long pass and accurately found Muller in the ribs.
Thomas Muller, the German demon star with extremely erratic running positions, made a move from the right rib at this moment. After receiving the ball, he used his right foot to stop the ball lightly to Lewandowski on the left.
It's Lewandowski's chance again!
Lewandowski did not choose to shoot himself this time. Facing the coordinated defense of Godin and Jimenez, this angle was not the most comfortable for Lewandowski.
And the teammates next to him were rushing over, and they just used the arch of their feet to do it lightly, and the ball instantly came to Costa's feet.
Douglas Costa was very fast and flew to the ball. This ball had already reached the extreme. He was facing the goal directly when there was an empty space on the right side.
Then Douglas Costa made a strong push!
Oblak jumped up! Flying to save the ball!
Amazing reaction speed!
At the critical moment, it was Oblak again, and Oda saved Atletico Madrid.
He did his best to keep the goal intact, which gave Atletico another reassurance.
Bayern was extremely upset. They didn't score a goal with such an opportunity. Douglas Costa's performance today was really not good!
The pass was passed, the cooperation was played, and the positioning was no problem. It was just that the final shot was indeed substandard.
Both sides returned to their respective half and the game continued.
In the 24th minute, Ribery dribbled the ball diagonally and passed it to Thomas Muller in the midfield. Then Muller stuffed the ball directly in front of Ribery without stopping.
The ball passed by Muller just happened to appear on the route Ribery was running forward, and Augusto and Gabi in the middle were directly bypassed by this pass.
Bayern never lacked imagination when attacking. At this time, Ribery dribbled the ball forward, facing the opponent's central defender, and shot directly from 30 meters away from the goal!
Oblak flew to save the ball, but the ball slipped out of his hands!
At this critical moment, the penalty area was already in chaos. Lewandowski noticed the opportunity and immediately followed up with a supplementary shot!
At this time, Oblak was possessed by the goalkeeper, and once again played superbly. When Lewandowski was about to shoot, he made a quick, accurate and ruthless judgment!
He stepped forward and opened his body to interfere. The ball shot by Lewandowski finally went above the crossbar. This ball did not pose a threat to Atletico's goal, and even a corner kick was not required.
Oblak's state is also so terrible... If Real Madrid faces such an opponent, it will be difficult to take advantage.
Seeing this, Ronaldo frowned and took a breath, looking at his teammates with a particularly painful expression.
When other teammates saw Ronaldo's face, they laughed so hard that they couldn't close their mouths.
How can we play this Champions League final! ?
One side is in full bloom, the offensive line is full of firepower, bombarding, and the exquisite cooperation is pervasive.
On the other side, there was an iron wall of defense, a sharp counterattack, and the big Buddha standing on the goal line - Oblak!
No matter which team they faced, Real Madrid was on the verge of death!
Even with a player like Bai Ran, they were inevitably a little excited and nervous. After all, football is a game for 11 people, and they must also play well and cooperate with Bai Ran.
Thinking of this, they were eager to try the final.
It seemed that they were really looking forward to it!
At this time, the game came to the 27th minute. Ribery made a cross from the bottom of the left, Lewandowski and Godin competed for the header, and the ball was headed to the right rib. Lahm quickly followed up with a volley, but the ball was slightly higher.
During this period, Bayern's attacks appeared frequently, and they had nearly ten shots, and the shooting accuracy was also very impressive. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid had only three or four shots, and the data seemed a little pitiful.
In terms of ball possession, Bayern had an absolute lead of 77%, and Atletico Madrid basically couldn't touch the ball.
But at this moment, the score gap between the two sides has not widened. Atletico Madrid is still temporarily safe. The 0-1 deficit only puts them in a tie with Bayern.
The goal in the first round became a key foreshadowing. At this moment, Atletico Madrid can still keep calm.
The game soon came to the 31st minute. Alaba won a direct free kick opportunity for Bayern in front of the penalty area.
This ball was undoubtedly taken by Xabi Alonso, the best player in the team.
Bayern No. 14 took a deep breath, facing the opponent's goal and the wall, his eyes were very sharp!
He kicked the goal with his right foot in the far corner!
The ball passed under Jimenez's crotch and was refracted. Oblak couldn't react in time and the ball flew into the bottom of the net!
2-0! The total score is 2-1, Bayern takes the lead strongly!
This is Alonso's first Champions League goal this season! It is also the most critical goal in this game!
This goal pulled Bayern back from an unfavorable situation!
Ancelotti kept pumping his fists to celebrate the birth of this goal. Xabi Alonso's free kick was so beautiful!
The spectators at Real Madrid also exclaimed!
"Woohoo! What a great shot!"
"Alonso is still the same Alonso, his technique is too good."
"Sure enough, even after going to Bayern, he hasn't changed at all. He's so strong!"
"If we play Bayern in the final, I really don't know how to deal with him."
Bai Ran didn't speak, just watched the game on the screen with a smile.
He knew that the timeline had changed, and his arrival had quietly affected changes in the entire world.
This goal that shouldn't have happened actually happened in front of his eyes at this moment.
The subsequent story made Bai Ran look forward to it even more.
This is his world, and this will be the football history created by Bai Ran.
Xavi Alonso celebrated passionately. This goal brought Bayern back to life, and the pressure once again came to Atletico Madrid.
At the same time, the occurrence of this goal also changed the mentality of Atletico Madrid players.
They played more anxiously!
In the 33rd minute, Bayern took a left corner kick. Jimenez knocked down Martinez in the penalty area. Referee Chucker whistled for a penalty kick!
Jimenez made a major mistake. He actually made such a big move in the penalty area. This simply made it more difficult for the team!
Now they were awarded another penalty kick and the situation was gloomy!
Muller takes the penalty kick.
His performance in the competition was very stable. For this ball, he stood in front of the penalty spot and hit a half-high ball to the right side of Oblak!
Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper made the right decision and saved the penalty kick!
Thomas Muller was dumbfounded, holding his head in disbelief. What kind of monster was Oblak? He could save himself from this! ?
The story is not over yet, the offense is still going on, and penalty kicks in regular time allow for follow-up shots. At this time, Franck Ribery, who stepped in from behind, took a shot and was blocked by the opponent's defender!
Lewandowski follows up with a follow-up shot! Also banned by Oblak...
Oblak raised his arms and shouted in front of Bayern, patting his chest and roaring.
His performance was so strong! It is simply a wall of sighs!
Bayern's shooting frequency is very high, and Oblak's spirit is also very concentrated. Under these indiscriminate bombardments, he firmly guards Atletico Madrid's city wall.
Muller has missed two penalty kicks in the Champions League this season.
In the subsequent games, the two sides did not change much. Atletico Madrid still focused on defense as its main purpose, and occasionally launched counterattacks, but often in vain.
This is also a normal phenomenon. Bayern's defense is not a vegetarian. With the cooperation of the two forwards in Atletico Madrid's frontcourt, it is difficult to completely defeat Bayern's defense.
The game gradually progressed to the 45th minute, and the referee blew the half-time whistle. Bayern led 2-0 in the first half, with a total score of 2-1, winning the first half with a one-goal advantage.
Players from both sides returned to the player tunnel, and Real Madrid also began to discuss it.
"It will be difficult to play against Bayern in the next game. Look at how good their condition is and how well they work together."
"Especially... Xabi Alonso was our teammate last season, and now we have to face him in the blink of an eye. This feeling is a bit uncomfortable and weird."
"Yes, and their forward Lewandowski is also a strong point, and he is very fast on the wing."
Ramos said proudly: "So what? I will let them see the strongest defense in Europe."
"No matter who you play in the final, don't be afraid. Go ahead and play with confidence. I will be behind you."
With the captain's words, everyone felt a little calmer. The captain was like a reassurance and had the effect of a spiritual leader.
What's more, they still have Bai Ran.
"Not necessarily, what if Atletico Madrid wins?"
At this time, Marcelo's words caused Ronaldo to shake his head repeatedly.
"Shut up, even if I face such a powerful Bayern, I don't want to face Atletico anymore."
"Although Bayern is stronger in terms of strength, every time we play against Atletico Madrid, we lose half our life. Have you forgotten the last time we played against Atletico Madrid in the league?"
Everyone instantly remembered that when they played against Atletico Madrid, although they were not as powerful and luxurious as those super-rich teams, the opponent frequently made bad moves...
So dirty!
Just because of that game, Bai Ran was injured for a week, and this was on the premise that his self-healing ability was very strong.
Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid, and it was very difficult to win, and they paid a heavy price.
After that, the fifteen-minute break ended, and the players from both sides walked off the court again.
The mental state of both sides is relatively good, and Atletico Madrid, which is one goal behind, also seems very calm.
Although they are one goal behind, this is at the Allianz Arena. As long as they score one goal and the total score is the same as Bayern, then they will advance to the Champions League final with the advantage of more away goals.
Both parties were strolling leisurely, with full confidence in their eyes.
After Muller came on the field, he shouted and waved to the fans in the stands, very active.
The second half started with a change of sides and the referee whistled. The second half began!
In the 54th minute, Bayern made a long pass from the backcourt, which was intercepted by Vidal and passed to Xabi Alonso.
The long pass was very exquisite, and just after passing the midfield, it was steadily received by Lewandowski, who headed the ball back to Ribery, who passed it straight!
Lewandowski passed Godin, and then ran out for a single shot. He easily pushed the ball into the goal against Oblak!
3-0!
Bayern led 3-1 in the total score, and now Atletico Madrid needs to score two goals in a row to advance!
The situation is very unfavorable for them!
