This weekend was a dramatic scene on the pitch that made me, an ordinary football fan, feel up and down. Let's talk about La Liga first, Real Madrid, the team I've been following for a long time, and the away game against Rayo Vallecano made me excited and disappointed. Just three minutes into the game, Valverde's assist gave Joselu the opening goal and Real Madrid took a 1-0 lead. At that moment, I thought it was going to be an easy victory. However, the script of the game always seemed to be full of surprises, and in the 27th minute, Camavinga was awarded a penalty for a handball foul, and De Tomas made it 1-1.
I watched the game nervously and hoped that Real Madrid would take the lead again. Valverde's shot hit the woodwork, as if fate was playing a game on us. In stoppage time, Carvajal was sent off for two yellow cards in a row, leaving Real Madrid with 10 men in the final minutes. The 1-1 score was sealed, and Real Madrid remained unbeaten but missed a great opportunity to extend their lead in the standings. This game made me realise that football is always uncertain, and even the leaders will inevitably fall on their feet.
In the blink of an eye, the Premier League game was also an eye-opener for me. Brighton travelled to Sheffield United and it was a goalscoring feast. Sheffield United were one man less because of an early red card, which gave Brighton a huge advantage. Brighton's attacking performance was spectacular, with goals from Bonanot, Welbeck, Adingra and others making it 5-0 and Brighton ended the game with a big win. Such a victory not only brought the team a valuable three points, but also showed the fans the team's strong attacking power and teamwork.
The home defeat was undoubtedly a heavy blow for Sheffield United, who continue to struggle at the bottom of the table. Brighton, on the other hand, secured their position in the standings with this victory, showing their determination and strength to qualify for European competition.
This weekend was full of surprises and surprises, with Real Madrid's forced draw to be a disappointing draw and Brighton's big win to be exciting. That's the beauty of football, whether it's a win or a loss, every game has its own unique story. As an ordinary football fan, I enjoy every minute of the game and feel the ups and downs and challenges of each team. Whether it's Real Madrid or Brighton, every step of the way for each team captivates me and makes me look forward to the next round of games and more exciting moments.
