Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu were expecting a miracle to equalise with just five minutes of stoppage time.

Real Madrid absolutely suppressed Millwall at half-time due to their numerical superiority, and the knife-carrying defender Elgra also killed him.

Aldridge gave him a clear defensive mission before sending on Neil.

Observe calmly and judge the defensive situation.

If Real Madrid control the perimeter, Neil will be the defensive midfielder, and if Real Madrid force the penalty area, Neil will have to be dragged back as a scavenger.

Neil executes Aldridge's tactical requirements well, under strong pressure, the passive defensive side must have a flexible defensive role, those players who have been fighting on the field for nearly 90 minutes, more or less due to inertia and lack the ability and courage to adapt to the situation, sticking to the duty is a normal choice, but in this case, the most needed is the player who dares to be flexible.

Morientes found a chance in the box, but fired wide in a hurry, leaving Millwall in a cold sweat.

Bout put the ball on the line of the small penalty area and looked at the situation ahead, the Real Madrid players pressed forward in formation, almost using man-to-man tactics to defend.

Unable to find a stable exit point, Bout inked for more than ten seconds before driving the ball to the front court.

The audience held their breath and stared, and the time had come to the penultimate minute of stoppage time.

Aldridge stood on the sidelines with a solemn expression, and it was difficult to say that he could definitely defend Real Madrid at this time. Especially when Real Madrid's attack is aggressive, it goes straight into the Millwall penalty area. Not afraid of a frontal attack. I'm afraid that in this fast-paced situation, there will be chaos and I will concede the goal.

Carlos' cross from the wing, which was of average quality, perhaps due to his declining fitness and mental pressure, Materazzi was in the position of the landing point and shook his head hard to clear the ball, at which point he had to exert his strength to keep the ball as far away from the box as possible.

The cleared ball flew towards the centre circle after Nedved's header relay.

Henry grabbed the landing spot there, turned around with the ball and immediately started to run forward.

Real Madrid fans saw it. I cried out in my heart: No!

1VS2

Real Madrid have only Karanka and Campo at the back.

Thierry Henry had no choice, he had to dribble forward, and none of the Real Madrid players in front of him came back to defend.

If Millwall had had one or two players running forward at high speed to support Thierry Henry at this time, the attack would have been very threatening.

But Nedved didn't move, and Klose, who was full of energy, didn't move, if it was 11 to 11, they would definitely rush up, but seeing that the Real Madrid players around them did not retreat to defend, they did not dare to rush forward and lose their defensive positions, in case they were beaten back and lost the ball. They really don't have time.

Karanka and Campo defended 1 with 2 and then a large number of gaps. But Henry is just a man, riding alone, Karanka follows Henry, slowing down Henry's rhythm, Campo is behind him to hold the key position, Karanka doesn't matter if he is broken, he is making up for it.

Seeing the defensive strategy of these two, Henry was extremely helpless.

His stamina was at the end of his game, and if Karanka and Campo were in parallel or impatient to grab him, he would have a good chance to break through their defences.

However, the opponent did not give him a chance at all, and Henry was slowed down by Karanka and gradually deviated from the track of rushing towards the Real Madrid goal, he made a choice, suddenly accelerated, and used his best strength to complete an acceleration.

Karanka and Campo also understood Henry's plan when they saw the direction of Henry's accelerated dribbling.

He took the ball to the corner of the baseline.

Now the two of them were not polite, and rushed directly to surround Henry.

Henry sensed the two men coming, he stepped on the ball on the top corner, and then turned around, just as Karanka rushed up, and Henry made a breakthrough forward move, while slightly picking up the ball.

Karanka rushed up and knocked the ball straight off the line.

Thierry Henry couldn't make a breakthrough at all, he just faked it and asked Karanka to help him get a set-piece to stall for time.

'The minute after the game went into stoppage time, Millwall won a corner and we saw a strange sight where no one was going to take the corner! Oh, it turned out that Klose went to take a corner kick, he trotted from the middle circle to the corner area, the Real Madrid players were complaining about the other party's delay, the referee ran to Klose and showed him a yellow card, Klose was theorizing with the referee, hehe, this can consume a lot of time. ”

When Klose went back to the corner with a yellow card, there were only 15 seconds left.

Henry walked from the box to the corner and stood in front of Klose, behind whom Salgado rushed up, Henry held out a hand to signal Klose not to kick off, and he turned to the referee to show Salgado's distance.

By the time Klose passed the ball to Thierry Henry, stoppage time had passed.

Thierry Henry turned around with the ball and protected it from the baseline, Salgado and Karanka came to grab it, he pulled the ball back, and then suddenly closed his foot, Salgado's outstretched foot poked the ball out of the bottom line again, and Millwall continued to win corners.

The referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

The Bernabeu booed the world, and it is unclear whether it was booing Millwall in the last time or boosing the noble Real Madrid who lost a crucial battle at home, or both.

"After 90 minutes of fierce battle, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at the Bernabeu came to an end, Real Madrid lost 3:4 at home to Millwall from the Premier League, this result is absolutely wonderful for Millwall, they have never lost in European games in London, in fact, they have only lost one game in Europe in four years, the score is 1:0, so even if Real Madrid can beat Millwall by one goal away in the second leg, if they can't play a goal difference of more than three goals, they will also be eliminated. However, Real Madrid's last game was a 3-2 away win over Manchester United. The next round is to London. They are not without opportunities. ”

The Millwall players on the pitch pumped their fists excitedly.

This score will be very beneficial for them to advance to the Champions League final.

The Real Madrid players had grim expressions. Brutal scores, grim situations, they still have a chance, they can start from reason, and there is little hope.

Aldridge walked straight to shake Bosque's hand after the final whistle blew and walked briskly into the tunnel without looking back, even as a group of reporters and cameras followed him.

It seemed that everyone wanted to see how the young coach would look smug at the end of the game, and how reckless he would be at the Bernabeu.

But the game isn't over yet. At least that's what Aldrich thinks.

After 180 minutes of play, Millwall won the first half and that was it.

It's not a group stage, it's a knockout round, a Champions League semi-final!

Premature complacency and relaxation will only sow the seeds of uneasiness.

He went back to the dressing room to exchange a few words with Makelele, who had also calmed down completely, and when the whole team returned to the dressing room, he stood up and apologized to all his teammates.

Everyone didn't take it to heart, and the game was won. That's enough, the winning team can ignore everything. Especially the players themselves.

Aldridge was harassed by reporters from Marca and Ass at his post-match press conference.

The football media in Spain is basically divided into two camps, pro-Barcelona or pro-Real Madrid, unlike the pure Real Madrid mouthpiece of "As", "Marca" is slightly biased towards Real Madrid on the basis of being as neutral as possible.

And today Real Madrid's enemy is Millwall, and it is normal for Marca to be on Real Madrid's side.

"Is Millwall, who are considered to be the most attacking firepower in Europe, playing negative football at the Bernabeu?"

"Real Madrid scored three, one of them was a penalty and Millwall scored four, all in open play, and the score was 3:4."

"But you only got a better chance on the counter-attack, and you didn't dare to go head-to-head with Real Madrid."

"The score is 3:4."

"Is this Millwall's style?"

"If victory, winning, can be described as a style, then I would proudly declare: yes, victory, is Millwall's style!"

"Mr. Hall, you understand I'm talking about the style of the football tactical system"

"You don't understand my answer, tactics that don't bring victory are wrong and ineffective, any technical and tactical system, the goal should be to win, that's our style."

Aldridge choked the Spanish journalist to the point that he had nothing to say, and when he went toe-to-toe with the reporter, he rarely responded with silence, on the contrary, he would always verbally force the other party to have nothing to say, the Spanish media could lash out at him in the news tomorrow, but the rest of the European media would sing praises for him and mock the Spanish journalist at the same time, so in the European arena, Aldridge is also the biggest star coach.

"Claude Makelele's red card, do you think the referee made the right decision?"

The reporter of "As" newspaper does not look like a clown, his problem is that there are needles hidden in the cotton, which seems to be very ordinary and normal.

But Aldrich knew that the other party had bad intentions.

I'm afraid that the other party is waiting for Aldridge to lash out at the referee's improper decision, and then, UEFA will intervene in the investigation, so that Aldridge will be suspended!

"My opinion doesn't matter anymore, the audience, the audience who watched the game on TV from all over the world, and the media present, I believe that the decision will be discussed in the next period of time, and the whole process of the incident will be discussed, whether Makelele's handball should be judged, whether the foul is in the box or outside the box, whether it should be a penalty, there will be many people in the football circle to give their own opinions, Millwall will appeal to UEFA to apply for the cancellation of Makellele's red card."

"He almost injured the referee by smashing the ball on the ground, shouldn't that be a red card?"

"That's only part of the story, just like if tomorrow you report on Claude Makelle's red card and only write that he angrily threw the ball out of his hand and received a red card, that would be a dereliction of duty, a sign of unprofessional integrity, and a misleading distortion of the facts to readers who read your news. When an ordinary person suffers injustice in life, he will have the instinct of catharsis, and we often notice how he vents, but the source of the injustice is concealed, and that is the most critical place. ”

"At the end of the day, you still think the referee made a serious mistake in enforcing the law."

"That's what you said, I didn't say it."

After the verbal battle between Aldridge and the Spanish reporters was over, the Fleet Street media asked some questions about the second leg clash in the future.

Aldridge pointed out Millwall for a good first-leg result, but in the second round, he had to forget about the score and calm his mind.

The most crucial part of whether or not they can qualify for the final is the mentality of the team, and now, there is only one enemy in front of Millwall: themselves! (To be continued......)
