Meanwhile, Chen Zhong used that leg as a supporting leg and jumped up.
It was at that moment Pique slid in for the tackle.
He missed the ball and didn't hit the person either.
The fans on the Barcelona stands let out cries of despair, while the Real Madrid supporters were shouting in surprise, as if an earthquake had struck Camp Nou.
Clearly, most people did not expect this outcome when Pique went for the slide tackle.
Amidst such a scene, Valdes did not wait passively in front of the goal, but decisively chose to charge out instead.
This was not a hasty decision but a carefully considered one.
Because although Chen Zhong dodged Pique's slide tackle, the ball was not as obedient.
The ball bounced unpredictably, like a mischievous child, making it hard to handle.
"Pique went for the slide tackle."
"Chen Zhong first flicked the ball."
"Then he leaped in the air, evading the slide tackle."
"It's as if they planned it together."
