The ball had plenty of power.
But the accuracy was a bit off, slipping past the goalpost under the watchful eyes of Valdes and the entire crowd.
After completing this header, Ronaldo first looked to see if the ball went in, and then rolled on the ground grimacing in pain a couple of times.
He had quite a hard fall just now.
This also startled Pellegrini on the sideline, making him once again recognize Ronaldo's "fight-to-the-death" spirit. After hesitating for a moment, he used up his second substitution spot, bringing on Benzema to replace Ronaldo.
Real Madrid's forward line placed Higuain on the left wing, with Benzema serving as the pivot in the middle, and Kaka staying on the right wing.
Busquets' actions also angered Real Madrid players; in the 69th minute of the match, Messi was dribbling down the wing, trying to break into the penalty area when Pepe brought him down from the side.
The referee issued another yellow card.
