The ball rebounded, and Puyol scrambled to nudge it aside, while Abidal powerfully kicked the ball out of bounds.
The Merengue fans in the stands regretfully sighed, "Ah, too bad."
"Chen's header was just too straight!"
"If that ball had gone in, it would've been perfect."
The Barcelona fans, however, let out a long sigh of relief, "Almost got scored on by that guy."
"It would've been different if Messi could play."
"When did he show up in the penalty area?"
Chen Zhong waved his fist in frustration, then gave a thumbs up to Sneijder. Marcelo ran over to offer comfort, but was repelled by Chen Zhong's gaze. Did he look like someone who needed comfort?
"This was the most dangerous attack by Real Madrid in the first half."
"Also the first shot on target by both teams."
"The first 15 minutes of the game were all about mutual pressure and tight marking."
