No. 1059: The battle for the top scorer is settled!
Messi stood behind the penalty spot and there were huge boos at the Villamarin Stadium.
In the eyes of the Catalan media, any team that uses the word "Royal" is on the side of Real Madrid, so Real Betis coach Setien will only say those "big scenery" words before the game.
It is also true that if there is a choice, Real Betis is closer to Real Madrid.
Messi withstood the boos of the home fans and scored the penalty.
1 to 0!
Barcelona struggled to break the deadlock on the pitch and took a one-goal lead.
When the news of Messi's goal reached the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid fans did not feel the pressure, and even looked at the electronic display screen sarcastically and said: "We are already 2-0 ahead, Barcelona has just broken the deadlock, and Messi has only scored a goal!" ”
"Messi, you have to work hard, Mourinho gave you a chance, how did you score a goal?"
The Madrid TV commentator said: "Messi's goal reached 48 goals, two goals away from Chen's goal, and the suspense of the top scorer was renewed. ”
At the Villamarin Stadium, the game quickly restarted, and Real Betis, who were behind the score, launched a ferocious attack on Barcelona, who were playing at home.
For a while, the cannon roared in front of Barcelona.
In the 41st minute of the first half, Betis midfielder Gutiérrez made a powerful long-range shot in the hinterland of Barcelona, and the football went straight to the left side of the goal!
Valdés leaped to his feet and struggled to keep the ball down, and Pique cleared the ball with a big foot to defuse Betis' threatening attack.
Six minutes later, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the first half.
Soon after, the first half was also ended with nine other games and the players returning to the dressing room.
The Catalan TV commentator said in a deep voice: "Real Betis showed the world their tenacity tonight, they used their home advantage to not fall behind on the field, only giving Barcelona a one-goal lead.
In order to prevent Messi from scoring, Betis chased Messi.
We hope that Messi will burst out with more amazing energy in the second half and complete more goals to close the goal tally with Chen. ”
The Madrid TV commentator said: "Mourinho gave Messi half time and Messi only scored one goal. Messi's tally of goals reached 48, two miles behind Chen.
The difference between the two goals is not huge, but even if it is a goal, it is a difference.
If there is no Chen, Messi's 48 goals, no matter which league or season, can get the top scorer. It's a pity that Messi met Chen, which is Messi's sorrow and Barcelona's sorrow.
Now, Barcelona fans can only hope that Messi can break out in the second half, and they also have to pin their hopes on Mourinho.
When will Mourinho bring Chan on the pitch?
Perhaps only the Portuguese themselves know about this issue. ”
In addition to discussing the relegation situation, the most discussed among journalists scattered across Spain was the battle for the top scorer.
"There's still hope for Messi."
"Yes, the battle for the top scorer has not yet settled, and Messi still has a chance!"
"The green field is a place full of miracles, anything can happen before the whistle is blown at the end of the game!"
Some reporters believe that Messi still has hope, while others firmly believe that Messi has no hope.
"Judging from the situation in the first half, Real Betis will not give Messi a chance to press, so expect Messi to explode in the second half, which is difficult to ......"
'Chen will definitely play in the second half, he has been in great form lately and has the support of his team-mates. It's not difficult for him to score goals. ”
"That's right, Cristiano said on social platforms yesterday that if there is a penalty, he will let Chen take the penalty."
"Hey, brother, Cristiano is also sitting on the bench, he can't count......"
"I know Cristiano is on the bench, but from his words it reflects the mentality of the Real Madrid players, they will never let Messi steal the top scorer!"
After a fifteen-minute break, the players returned to the field.
With a whistle from the referee, the game began.
What is surprising is that Mourinho still did not make a substitution, allowing Chen Fan to continue to sit on the bench.
The World Sports News reporter clenched his fists and shouted in his heart: Messi, come on!
At Villamarin Stadium, in the second minute of the second half, Barcelona launched a quick counterattack immediately after a successful steal in the backfield, and Xavi transferred the football to Messi's feet for the first time.
After Messi got the ball, he broke through three Betis players in a row by changing direction and speed, and went to the penalty area!
Real Betis central defender Nacho dropped his center of gravity and brought down Messi with the ball from the side, Messi fell and rolled on the turf in pain, and the stadium was in chaos.
The referee showed mercy and only gave Nacho a yellow card, a decision that caused displeasure among the Barcelona players, who surrounded the referee.
Obviously, the referee was unlikely to change the decision and instead gave the emotional Pique a yellow card.
Messi eventually got up from the turf and took it upon himself to create a direct free-kick opportunity.
Perhaps suffering a right leg injury, his free-kick flew over the crossbar to the applause of the home fans.
Messi's face was gloomy as water.
In the eleventh minute of the second half, Barcelona, who had been unable to attack for a long time, was hit, and Real Betis equalized with a corner kick opportunity!
At the Bernabeu, Jose Mourinho asked Chen Fan to prepare for the event, and two minutes later, Chen Fan and the fourth official stood on the sidelines.
The Bernabeu, which can accommodate more than 80,000 people, burst into thunderous applause.
The group of reporters on the sidelines, the reporter of the World Sports News closed his eyes and shook his head gently, Messi ......
The Madrid TV commentator joked: "Mourinho is undoubtedly generous, before the game he said to give Messi half time, and he gave Messi 58 minutes.
But Messi scored just one goal in those 58 minutes.
Mourinho no longer gave Messi a chance, he let Chen Phi play! ”
Chen Fan took the field to thunderous applause from the home fans, and he was given a shot on goal shortly after coming on the pitch.
In the sixteenth minute of the second half, Marcelo crossed from the bottom, the opposing defender pushed the football out of the penalty area, and Chen Fan shot angrily at the ball!
The soccer ball flew off the field against the left post.
Five minutes later, Real Madrid made a comeback, Di Maria made a bloody way on the right, and Chen Fan moved from the left to the middle to respond.
"Smack! ……”
Di Maria made an inverted triangle pass, Chen Fan stretched out his right foot, took advantage of the situation to lead the football back, and then flung it gently.
The soccer ball flew out of his left heel and flew to his left front!
"Beautiful!"
The Madrid TV commentator shouted: "Shoot! ”
In the Mallorca penalty area, Chen Fan raised his left foot and pushed it, and the football flew towards the lower right corner of the goal!
The ball flew just two meters and hit Mallorca centre-back Kenyon. Martin Kissby's lap, changing direction and flying towards the left side of the goal!
The Mallorca goalkeeper couldn't react at all and could only half-kneel on the turf and watch the ball fly into the net!
The ball is in!
Three to zero!
Chen Fan's goal tally reached 51, and the gap between him and Messi returned to three goals.
The Bernabeu was filled with a tsunami of cheers, screams, whistles!
When the news reached the Villamarin Stadium, the home fans cheered, and some even unfurled banners: Despair, Messi, Chen has scored!
