Real Madrid s debut surprises Saudi Arabia: The penalty kick is not scored, the 1-1 draw is beyond everyone s expectations

Football

The first round of the Group H group stage in the Club World Cup was finished, Real Madrid faced Saudi team Riyadh Crescent and finally tied 1-1. This result is really shocking. After all, Real Madrid is a European giant, and they have won so many Champions Leagues, but they were tied by Asian teams. The most unfortunate thing is that in stoppage time, Valverde missed a penalty kick and almost won the final victory.

Real Madrid has been in a bad season, all four are gone, and the original coach Ancelotti has also been replaced, and now Alonso is led by the team. Although he is second in La Liga, his condition has been average recently. This is Alonso's first game to coach Real Madrid. Riyadh's new moon is not weak either. It is runner-up in the Saudi League, and it has reached the semi-finals of the AFC Champions League. It has not lost 34 games before, and its momentum is in full swing. At the beginning of the game, everyone thought Real Madrid would win easily, but they played in a stalemate in the first half. Real Madrid scored a goal in the 34th minute, and Garcia scored a header. But in less than ten minutes, Reuben Neves from Riyadh Crescent also entered one and returned to the same starting line. According to the data, Riyadh's new moon is better, with 11-5 shots and a 55% possession rate. Although Real Madrid shot a little more times, they didn't take much advantage.

Real Madrid made multiple substitutions in the second half, and Vasquez and Dias both played. Bellingham had another long shot, but was blocked. When it was almost time to stoppage time, Real Madrid got a penalty kick, but Valverde took the penalty but was saved by the goalkeeper. He didn't even make a follow-up shot, and just missed the chance to win.

Real Madrid's lineup is actually quite neat. Vinicius and Courtois are both there, so Mbappe is missing. It is logical that the strength gap is big, but Riyadh Crescent is really crazy. Especially the equalizer, Ruben Neves' long shot was very sudden and the goalkeeper didn't react.

The fans talked a lot after the game, and some said that Real Madrid's condition has not been adjusted yet, after all, they just changed their coach. Some people also say that Riyadh Crescent relies on home court advantages, and the Saudi League has the money to hire many big-name players. This game proves that it is really hard to say that football is, and no matter how strong the team is, it may capsize.

Alonso was under great pressure as a new coach and only scored 1 point in his debut. In the group stage, we have to deal with other opponents. It is not easy to play in the Club World Cup this time. Riyadh Crescent has been a big upset, and this draw will definitely make their morale soar.

To talk about accidents, the most unexpected thing is the penalty kick. Valverde was quite stable before, but he became ruthless at the critical moment. The goalkeeper caught the right time to save the ball, and the whole team went crazy after saving it.

Real Madrid's next schedule will not be easy, but at least it can be adjusted now. Riyadh Crescent has shown confidence in this game, and the subsequent game may even create miracles. This is how football is, it’s really hard to say who wins and who loses.

It has been several days since the end of this game and it is still being discussed online. Some people say that Real Madrid deliberately lets go, but I don’t think it’s necessary. The penalty kick is indeed bad. Anyway, the result is here, and the winner is real. How to play later can only depend on the players' performance.
