The ball was thrown out of the goal, but the opponent was very busy.

Seeing Messi shooting, Courtois quickly moved sideways to save the ball.

Fortunately, Messi's shot was not at a very tricky angle, so he saved it by moving sideways.

He slapped the flying football with his left hand and slapped it away.

But before he could get happy, he saw that the football that he slapped away hit the arm of his own defender Godin.

"Beep!"

A shrill whistle sounded.

The referee blew the whistle and ran over.

His finger pointed to the penalty spot.

"Oh no! Godin handballed, the referee awarded a penalty. This penalty is too unfair, the ball was kicked out by his own goalkeeper and hit his arm."

In the live broadcast, Liu Jian slapped the table in annoyance.

When the referee awarded a penalty, the players of Atletico Madrid immediately ran to the head coach to plead for mercy.

Especially Godin, who argued that he was passively handballed and should not be awarded a penalty.

However, the referee shook his head and said: "Your arm is open, so you must be awarded a penalty. Now, step back, or I will give you a card."

Hearing the referee's words, Godin was speechless. His arm was indeed open just now. If the ball hit his arm, there would be no problem for the referee to award a penalty.

It's all his bad luck. He had to stand on the line of the ball, and his arm was still open.

After being depressed for a while, he could only leave in disappointment.

Messi stood on the penalty spot.

Facing Courtois, he scored in one fell swoop and kicked the ball steadily into the lower right corner of the goal.

Barcelona equalized the score in the last minute of the first half.

After scoring, Messi and his teammates hugged and celebrated.

At this time, the referee also blew the whistle to end the first half.

The players of both sides walked to the player tunnel with a score of 1 to 1.

Although the scores of both sides were tied, the expressions on their faces were completely different.

The players of Barcelona were all jubilant, hugging each other's shoulders, as if they had won the game.

The players of Atletico Madrid were somewhat dejected.

This is also normal. Anyone who fails in the last minute will have emotions.

Back in the locker room, Simeone did not say too much about the goal, but just warned the players not to let the goal affect their mentality.

After all, there is really no way to blame anyone for the goal.

Even the culprit Godin did not do it intentionally.

It was just bad luck.

This situation is sometimes unavoidable on the court.

After all, the ball is round, and anything can happen.

Now the important thing is not to pursue the responsibility for the loss in the first half, but to see what to do in the second half.

"In the second half, we can't just defend blindly. When the time is right, we have to attack. Remember! This is our home court, and there are tens of thousands of our supporters watching. We must not let them down."

"Lin, you have to move forward more in the second half, and don't let their defenders come to our half to participate in the attack."

"And Falcao, you too, press forward. Pin down the opponent's defenders."

"Others should pay attention to maintaining a defensive formation and not give the opponent a chance to break through or counter-offside. After getting the ball, remember to look for Lin and Falcao."

…………

Simeone explained the tactics for the second half to the players one by one.

The players of Atletico Madrid listened carefully to the head coach's arrangements, and their fighting spirit gradually became stronger.

On the other side, in the visiting team's locker room.

Vilanova first praised his disciples for their performance in the second half of the first half.

Then he began to make arrangements.

"In the second half, we still have to keep enough pressure on Atletico Madrid's defense. At the same time, we must prevent the opponent's counterattack."

"So in the second half, our defense should not be too far forward. We must keep an eye on the position of the opponent's players, especially their forward line. We must always be vigilant against them and you can foul them when necessary."

"Especially the Chinese No. 18 in their team, you must keep a close eye on him. Also, pay attention, when defending him, you must have more than two people defending together. That guy can't be dealt with by one person."

…………

Vilanova also made very careful arrangements, and the Barcelona players listened very carefully.

Soon, the halftime break

The time passed, and the players of both sides returned to the court.

After the exchange of venues, the referee blew a whistle and the second half of the game began.

Atletico Madrid kicked off first in the second half.

Lin Rui knocked the ball back to Raul Garcia behind him, and then rushed forward immediately.

After Raul Garcia took the ball, he began to move forward quickly.

Soon a Barcelona player came up to intercept.

Facing Pedro who came up to block him, Raul Garcia made a beautiful pull and dodged the opponent's outstretched foot, and then took advantage of the situation and passed by Pedro's side.

After passing Pedro, Raul Garcia continued to move forward a few steps, and after attracting Busquets to defend, he sent a pass.

The football was passed to Koke on the right side, and Koke quickly went to the bottom after taking the ball.

A cross was sent before reaching the bottom line.

The football was kicked to the middle of the penalty area, where Lin Rui had already jumped high.

Next to him, Mascherano and Puyol also jumped at the same time, trying to interfere with his header.

But the physical strength of these two people is obviously not comparable to Lin Rui.

Lin Rui jumped a full head higher than these two people.

And Lin Rui stood firmly at the landing point of the football.

No matter how the two Barcelona defenders squeezed, they could not shake him at all.

In the end, they could only jump desperately next to him.

But the jumping height and height of the two people were crushed.

The interference formed to Lin Rui can only be said to be better than nothing.

In a flash, the football quickly flew over the penalty area.

Lin Rui jumped high to meet the football, and hit the football with a height higher than the defensive player next to him.

"Bang!"

The football hit Lin Rui's forehead, making a dull impact.

Then the football changed direction under this violent impact and flew towards the Barcelona goal.

This time Valdez reacted very quickly. As soon as the ball flew over, he dove to the side.

Although Lin Rui's header had a good angle and strength, it still failed to break through Valdez's ten fingers.

The ball was lifted over the crossbar by his right hand.

Atletico Madrid got a corner kick.

The home fans in the stands held their foreheads with their hands, looking regretful.
