Real Madrid's morale was boosted by Lu Wenbin's encouragement and they made several good attacks. Malaga was also not idle.
In the 42nd minute, Malaga won a free kick on the wing.
Isco took a free kick and lofted the ball into the penalty area, and players from both sides scrambled for it.
Alonso got the first point, but due to the shoving of the opposing players, he didn't have enough strength to head the ball, and it fell into the penalty area.
As a result, Joaquin got the first point this time.
Joaquin didn't even stop the ball, he just volleyed it into the air, and the ball rushed towards the goal like an arrow. Casillas had no time to react, he just tried to jump subconsciously, but he didn't catch anything and fell to the ground.
Casillas felt a chill in his heart, but he didn't expect that the ball kicked by Joaquin hit the crossbar, then fell down and bounced on the goal line.
Casillas reacted quickly this time, scooped the ball into his arms, then pressed his body down to press the ball under him to avoid giving the opponent a chance to make a follow-up shot.
But the Malaga players did not make a follow-up shot. Instead, they celebrated excitedly. The fans in the stands also cheered loudly, as if they thought they had scored a goal.
However, the referee did not award a goal, but instead signaled Casillas to take the kick.
The Malaga players were immediately dissatisfied and surrounded the referee to protest loudly, claiming that Joaquin had already scored the goal and Casillas fished the ball out of the goal.
The referee looked at the linesman, who shook his head slightly. The referee then insisted on the decision that the ball would not go in.
The players and fans of Malaga were all very excited. They surrounded the referee and demanded an explanation. Some players even called the referee blind, and he was shown a yellow card as a result.
Then the replay began to play on the big screen, and the goal-line technology showed that Joaquin's ball bounced off the crossbar and hit the goal line, but did not cross the goal line as a whole.
Therefore, the decisions made by the referee and the linesman were accurate.
Real Madrid escaped the disaster, and Malaga's players and fans are still indignant, but there is nothing they can do.
After 1 minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the first half.
During the half-time break, Mourinho was giving a speech to everyone in the locker room, encouraging the players to fight back in the second half and to win.
Just then, the assistant coach received a call and spoke to Mourinho.
Mourinho was stunned for a moment, then said: "I have good news for you all. Florentino just called. The appearance fee, goal bonus, assist bonus and other bonuses for this game will be calculated separately. The amount is five times your original contract, but the premise is that the game at least ends in a draw. If we end up with a big comeback and win away from home, the bonus will double again, which is ten times the original amount."
There was a sudden cry of surprise in the locker room.
This reward is really a huge investment.
It seems that the score deficit in the first half made Florentino Perez lose his composure, and he adopted such a radical approach, hoping that the players would try their best in the second half to win the game, or at least draw it, to create a new unbeaten record in the top five leagues.
Real Madrid players are not short of money. If the amount was one or two times as much, everyone would definitely look down on it and even secretly complain about it.
But if it’s five or ten times, people can’t help but pay attention to it.
Moreover, another signal reflected by the increase in the amount is that the old man is determined to win this game and the 59-game unbeaten record.
If anyone dares not to fight hard in the second half, which ultimately leads to the team's loss and is remembered by the old man, his future in Real Madrid will probably be ruined.
Among the players present, probably except for one or two people like Lu Wenbin who don’t care whether they play for Real Madrid or not, everyone else still cares very much.
After all, Real Madrid is the most successful team in the world. Playing here brings great benefits in terms of fame, status, income, and interests.
It would not be fun if I were kicked out by Mr. Lafayette.
Therefore, when the latest instructions from the old man were conveyed, Mourinho didn't need to waste any more words and started to arrange the tactics for the second half.
After the start of the second half, although everyone was still very tired physically, they fought hard with Malaga with a desperate spirit.
In the 56th minute, Joaquin dribbled the ball through the wing and cut inside to shoot, but Xabi Alonso rushed over from the side and made a fierce tackle, knocking Joaquin to the ground with the ball, preventing him from making a shot.
Joaquin was tackled and rolled on the ground three or four times, wailing incessantly, and almost caused a fight.
Alonso was naturally shown a yellow card, but managed to stop Joaquin's cut-back shot.
Isco failed to score the free kick afterwards. After all, he did not have Lu Wenbin's skills, let alone Lu Wenbin's special skills.
As time went by, the whole team of Real Madrid fought hard, but not only did they not lose the position with the passage of time and the decline of physical strength, but gradually took the initiative.
In the 74th minute, Real Madrid launched a beautiful and quick counterattack.
Ramos intercepted the ball in the backcourt and passed it to Pepe, who then passed it diagonally to Marcelo who was running forward. Marcelo took a few steps with the ball and passed it to Alonso, who passed it to Ronaldo who cut in from the wing and passed it to Lu Wenbin.
Lu Wenbin, who was making a forward run through the middle, took a powerful long shot from the top of the penalty area without stopping, and the ball hit the goal like a cannonball.
Caballero touched the ball, but was unable to push it out of the baseline because of his great force and speed.
The ball bounced on Caballero's fingers, then flew into the goal unwaveringly.
According to statistics after the game, the speed of the ball exceeded 100 kilometers per hour.
Lu Wenbin scored his second goal with a shockingly violent long-range shot, equalizing the score for Real Madrid.
The moment Lu Wenbin's long shot flew into the goal, the few Real Madrid fans in the stands, the Real Madrid executives in the box, and the fans watching the live broadcast in Madrid were all excited.
Lu Wenbin was also pressed to the ground by his excited teammates and formed a human pyramid.
Malaga is naturally unwilling to accept a draw, they want to defeat Real Madrid.
In the following time, Malaga fought against Real Madrid desperately, and people fell down from time to time on the field.
In the 79th minute, Alonso was injured and replaced in a header with Malaga's Portillo.
In the 86th minute, Benzema suffered a hamstring cramp and had to leave the field early.
However, the score remained unchanged, and Real Madrid maintained the score of 2-2 until injury time.
If the game ends with this score, Real Madrid will create a new unbeaten record in the top five leagues.
Commentators, reporters and fans all thought that Real Madrid should be satisfied. Malaga also felt that time was running out and gradually lost the motivation to attack.
However, the Real Madrid players on the field did not give up the attack.
Because the bonuses for a draw and a win are different, if you win the bonus is doubled compared to a draw.
