"Villa gets the ball, goes for a direct kick!"
"Long shot!"
Real Madrid's resilience exceeded Barcelona's expectations. They could only attempt long shots to breach Real Madrid's goal, but Casillas is no ordinary player.
He easily secured the ball.
As the first half was nearing its end, Barcelona began to show signs of impatience, launching wave after wave of attacks.
On the sidelines, Guardiola kept calling out player names, as if this could give them strength.
Mourinho was not to be outdone, shouting for his team on the field to strengthen their defense.
"Barcelona's attack."
"Passed to Messi."
"Messi takes the ball at the front, chooses to go solo."
"Consistent breakaway moves."
"Marcelo closely positions himself on the side."
"He's passed him!"
"But loses his balance!"
