The game was still in progress and Real Madrid wanted the goal more than anything. The Round of 16 involved two games, one at home and the other at Brighton. Coming out on top was more than a must for Real Madrid.
In the 42nd minute, Hakimi received a pass from Sergio López and tried to escape once again. This time, Felix came to cover and put pressure on him before he could take off. Hakimi had to play it to Óscar Rodríguez, who twisted his body and tried a vertical pass to the team's imposing center forward.
But Daniel Riber was alert. He read the pass perfectly and cut the ball back to Javier, who quickly turned and played Lucas through the middle.
Lucas took hold of the ball and thought:
"It's time to put that to the test."
