The intensifying match was also increasing the physical exertion of both teams' players.
Shortly after Barcelona kicked off, Real Madrid quickly launched a counterattack by winning the ball back from Xavi through a high press.
The ball went to Negredo, who played it back to Chen Zhong. Without a moment's hesitation, Chen Zhong lofted a pass over Barcelona's defense.
C. Ronaldo was still entangled with Pique, but Kaka successfully got hold of the ball.
However, Barcelona's defense was also very tight. After receiving the ball, Kaka took two steps sideways and then passed it into the middle of the penalty area.
"70th minute of the match."
"Real Madrid gained an opportunity through a press in the front court."
"The ball is with Kaka, and Kaka plays it across the center."
"Ziglinsky."
"Chen Zhong."
One of the reasons Guardiola values Ziglinsky is his excellent positioning in defense; he always appears where the team needs him most.
