Just twenty-three seconds into the game, Deng Kai struck a long shot, testing Sanchez's level.
As it turned out, Real Madrid had no weak players.
Sanchez steadily caught Deng Kai's long shot.
In the seventh minute, Ronaldo managed to create a hard-earned shooting opportunity after taking on Salgado on the left.
But the football was deflected by Salgado and was weakly secured by Sanchez.
Subsequently, Real Madrid launched a rapid counterattack, with Zidane carrying the ball along the wing and then making a brilliant pass after opening the angle.
Barzagli, anticipating it early, successfully blocked this critical pass.
Once the football got through,
Sporting Lisbon would be in danger.
But Barzagli made a mistake.
Upon completing the block, he was drawn away by Zidane.
Carlos, coming up, took the ball and threw it directly into Sporting Lisbon's penalty area.
Grenade throw-in!
"Be careful!"
Deng Kai warned his teammates.
But it was too late.
