Green Journey

In the scorching atmosphere that seemed to melt people, as time passed after the game started, the physical fitness of the players on both sides declined, and the game became more open, showing a rare confrontation scene in the history of the Champions League final.

For Real Madrid, the players strictly followed Zidane's tactical instructions.

Midfielders Modric and Kroos, as well as Isco who frequently retreats, plus Marcelo who frequently comes to the midfield, the four of them cooperate with Casemiro in an attempt to surround Manchester City in the midfield and cut through the Manchester City midfielder and midfielder. Frontline contact.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale are waiting for opportunities to hit the space on both sides of Fernandinho's ribs.

In addition, Real Madrid also started a tireless press throughout the game.

Wherever the ball is, they take it.

This put tremendous pressure on Manchester City's passing and control system, and also set off a new wave of offense for Real Madrid.

In the 82nd minute of the game, at the front of the 30-meter area in the middle of Manchester City's half, Isco received a cross from the right and transferred the ball, and immediately began to advance forward.

Fernandinho quickly moved sideways in front of him.

Isco accelerated and changed direction and entered the left rib area at the top of the arc.

Fernandinho, who is full of energy, is not slow in his movements. He maintains just the right distance and follows up on Isco's right front.

Seeing Walker and Kompany narrowing the lateral distance between each other behind the end line of the penalty area, Isco gave up the idea of ​​dribbling the ball into the Manchester City penalty area and pushed the ball horizontally to the left side of the penalty area. Marcelo.

Marcelo raised his right foot to stop the ball and looked up into the penalty area.

Seeing that Cristiano Ronaldo was already in position, he suddenly took off the ball with his left foot and passed the ball diagonally into the small penalty area at the back point.

At the same time, Ronaldo, who was on the right side of the penalty spot, made a false run to the left, swung to the inside on the left side of his body to look at Otamendi, who was guarding him, and then immediately moved forward to the right and started to advance forward.

Otamendi was shaken and his back heel was slowed down for half a beat. He could only watch helplessly as Ronaldo entered the small penalty area on the right and took off from the outside of the goalpost.

"Bluff!!!!!!!!!" Seeing Ronaldo's header hitting the outside of the side net, the whole stadium was in an uproar.

From the perspective of the stands, it looked like the goal was scored, but it was not.

Just 2 minutes later, Real Madrid directly launched an attack with a long pass from the right side of the backcourt.Ronaldo suddenly started on the right center line and instantly shook off Otamendi beside him.

Carvajal's long pass was given in advance, allowing Ronaldo to give full play to his speed.

Seeing that Otamendi could not catch up with Ronaldo, Stones, who retreated along the ribs, quickly moved over and blocked the line and space for Ronaldo to cut inside the top of the arc.

From the outside wing in the upper right corner of the penalty area, Ronaldo caught up with the ball that bounced off the ground.

Seeing that Stones had blocked the inside route, he headed the ball forward with a header and went straight down the right wing.

Meanwhile, there were problems in the other half for City.

Walker was too far forward in his position, which caused him to be stretched by more than half of his body during Real Madrid's side counterattack by Bell, who was running forward at high speed along the ribs.

When Bell crossed the end line of the penalty area and ran diagonally towards the penalty spot in the middle to outflank, Cristiano Ronaldo, who caught up with the ball outside the penalty area in front of the baseline, immediately sent a cross pass.

Otamendi fell to the ground from the back left side of Ronaldo and stretched out his feet to intercept, half a beat too late. He could only watch the ball rolling towards the center of the penalty area.

At this moment, all the fans in the stands held their breath, waiting for the fate of the decision.

At the front point, in front of the end line of the small penalty area, Bell stood up and raised his right foot sideways to prepare for a direct push.

The next second, Kompany's figure flashed to Bell's right.

Kompany slid to the ground and swept the ball away just as Bale was about to touch the ball with his right foot.

"Bluff!!!" Seeing the ball being swept to the right side of the penalty area, Carvajal followed up to take the ball and was called a handball by the linesman. Tens of thousands of Real Madrid fans jumped in anger in the stands.

After the tense moment, Manchester City fans also collectively gave out warm applause and cheers.

In the box stand, Hao Xiao poked Niu Benben next to him with his shoulder, and joked: "Look, look, this is the top central defender, learn from others, don't always play tricks, like manual Marseille slalom" , there is no technical content at all.”

Zhang Lu was instantly amused by Hao Xiao's words.

"Kompany's clearance is indeed very exciting." Fan Zhiyi said with a smile: "This kind of ball requires you to touch the ball before the opponent, but you can't kick the ball towards your own goal, otherwise it will be an own goal if you are not careful."

Zhang Lu nodded and said: "And Kompany kicked the ball out while running at high speed. This kind of defense is very difficult."

Guardiola was also frightened on the sidelines and found it difficult to breathe.

He ripped off his tight black tie and applauded the court.

Next to him, Zidane saw Bale miss this great opportunity and turned his back angrily, but after taking a few steps to the coaching bench, he turned around and walked back.

Not long after, Manchester City kicked the ball out at the foul point, which also set off a new offensive wave.

In the 86th minute of the game, in the middle of Manchester City's half, Fernandinho received a cross from Otamendi on the left rib and quickly passed the ball forward to De Bruyne.

In the center circle of Real Madrid's half, De Bruyne received the ball with his back.

He first turned to the left and faced Manchester City's right wing. After tricking Casemiro, who was behind him, to run two more steps to the left, he immediately turned around with the ball to the right and knocked the ball just in front of him. Chu Zheng.

At the front of the 30-meter area in the middle, Chu Zheng was quickly surrounded by Real Madrid after taking the ball.

On the left is Modric, on the back right is Casemiro chasing back, in front of him are Varane and Ramos, and behind them, Aguero is in an offside position.

Seeing that he couldn't pass the ball, Chu Zheng dunked his right foot and directed it towards the left rib at the top of the arc.

Varane quickly moved sideways to the right, preparing to work with Casemiro behind Chu Zheng to steal the ball.

At this moment, Aguero, who was at the top of the arc in the middle, suddenly withdrew, then turned around and ran back, thrusting forward towards the left rib area at the top of the arc.

On Chu Zheng's side, he held back Casemiro who was squeezing him from the right side. The moment he faced Varane, he quickly used the inside of his right foot to move the ball to his left foot, and then slammed his left foot forward. With a poke from the ground, the ball went straight to Aguero on the left rib at the top of the arc.

"Oh!!!!!!!!!" Seeing Chu Zheng pass the ball with fried meatballs, the Manchester City fans in the stands once again let out huge cheers.

"Strong body, great dribbling ability."

"Chu was a nightmare for all Real Madrid defenders today!"

"Chu has an extraordinary brain to pass the ball this way."

"..." Countless commentators in the commentary stands also spoke up and praised Chu Zheng.

In the left rib area at the top of the arc, Aguero led the ball forward with his left foot into the penalty area, and immediately took off and shot into the far corner.

But at the moment of shooting, Ramos, who was following him on the right, made accurate predictions, fell to the ground in advance and blocked the ball from the baseline with the outside of his left foot.

Suddenly, it was the turn of the Manchester City fans in the stands to jump with anger.

Tens of seconds later, Manchester City was ready to take a corner kick from the left.

In the penalty area, although it was clear that Manchester City was not good at high-altitude operations, the cautious Real Madrid did not let it slip. A full 8 people participated in the air defense and were ready.

There are also many people coming from Manchester City.

Kompany, Otamendi, Stones, Chu Zheng and other high points are all up, and they don't seem to worry about Real Madrid's counterattack at all.

Fans from both sides in the stands also fell silent for a while, watching nervously.

"Bang" sound!
De Bruyne drives the ball forward.

At the penalty spot, Chu Zheng, who was facing the goal, immediately ran forward to meet the ball. This pop-up method instantly got rid of Casemiro and Kroos beside him.In front of the upper corner of the small penalty area, Chu Zheng rushed under the ball, jumped hard, and shook his head to attack the goal.

When Chu Zheng threw the ball back, Casemiro just came to Chu Zheng. Before he could take off, he could only watch the ball go straight to the lower corner of the goal.

In front of the goal line, Navas staggered due to Chu Zheng's sudden head-flicking attack and moved awkwardly to the left.

Before he could make a save, the ball bounced off the ground at the bottom of the back post, grazed the outside of the post and flew out of the baseline.

At this moment, Navas felt that his heart was about to jump out of his mouth.

"Oops! It's just a little bit close!" He Wei said, stamping her feet in the commentary box.

On the court, Chu Zheng had a face full of regret, holding the back of his head with both hands and walking out of the penalty area.

In the stands, seeing Real Madrid and Manchester City missing opportunities one after another, fans on both sides became increasingly anxious.

Once the winner cannot be decided within the regular time, the 30-minute overtime will come.

And if there is still no result in overtime, a brutal penalty shootout will take place.

Neither Manchester City nor Real Madrid fans want overtime or penalty shootouts.

Especially in penalty shootouts, there are too many unexpected factors that determine the final outcome.

However, at this moment, the seventh goal of the game arrived.

In the 90th minute of the game, Real Madrid was outside the upper right corner of the penalty area.

Facing the double defense of Kroos and Marcelo, De Bruyne forced a pass.

However, under the interference of Marcelo, although De Bruyne passed the ball in a hurry, the ball he passed hit Modric in the penalty area.

Because it was too sudden, Modric stopped the ball and passed it to Kroos in the upper corner of the penalty area.

De Bruyne immediately jumped on the ball.

But Cross dialed out and dodged with the ball. After taking two steps forward, he immediately passed diagonally forward to Ronaldo who was retreating to receive the ball in the middle.

But the moment Ronaldo received the ball, Fernandinho suddenly grabbed the ball from his right back blind spot.

After getting the ball, Fernandinho was robbed by Casemiro who came up from the top of the arc. He immediately separated the front of the left rib at the top of the arc before Casemiro got close.

Seeing Carvajal and Casemiro entering the left rib area at the top of the arc to defend Sane, Chu Zheng immediately ran to the left free throw arc.

The next second, Sane started cutting inside, and used his toes to poke the ball between Casemiro and Carvajal, who were standing vertically front and back.

Chu Zheng took the ball with his back at the intersection of the free throw arc on the left and the penalty area, and resisted Varane who was trying to force him away.

At the same time, Casemiro and Modric on the left and right sides of Chu Zheng also quickly approached, and the three parties were preparing to encircle Chu Zheng.

After Chu Zheng found out, he immediately returned to the top front of the arc.

The next second, De Bruyne followed up from the center, swung his right foot to meet the ball in front of the penalty arc, and whipped the ball toward the Real Madrid goal with a "bang" from the front and outside of his right foot.

Modric was not slow to turn and move laterally to block, but what was terrible was that De Bruyne's long shot took an unusual path, and the ball passed behind his two feet.

In the middle of the goal, Navas in front of the goal line saw the ball running in a small reverse C-shaped arc, and he immediately pounced toward the lower right corner.

"De Bruyne's kick directly shattered Real Madrid's dream of defending the Champions League and making history..."

On the sidelines, Zidane was stunned.

Next to him, Guardiola, who felt like he was in a furnace a second ago, felt like he had fallen into a pool of ice the next second, and his heart was instantly chilled.

Guardiola was so ecstatic that he rushed along the sidelines, then did a long kneeling slide and shouted to the sky to vent his boiling emotions.

Arteta, Toure and others on the bench and coaching bench also rushed out in ecstasy and had a collective kneel-down celebration.

In this moment that seemed like a broken dream, the previously vibrant Real Madrid fans seemed to have their souls ripped out of them and turned into a walking zombie.

Countless Real Madrid fans were sitting or standing in the stands, and some fans had already walked up the steps to leave the stadium in despair. They just wanted to escape from this place that shattered their dreams.

On the sidelines, the fourth official held up a five-minute injury time sign.

However, just when everyone thought the suspense of the game had been killed, the eighth goal of the game came.

Carvajal, who advanced along the right wing, got the ball outside the penalty area and quickly grabbed the ball before Otamendi on the inside came closer and passed again.

In front of the penalty area, at the edge of the small penalty area, Ronaldo quickly turned around and retreated when he found that the ball landed behind him.

When Ronaldo ran to the penalty spot, he jumped hard, almost putting his entire body in the air, at least one meter above the ground, and then raised his right foot and accurately kicked the ball.

In front of the goal, facing Cristiano Ronaldo's shocking overhead kick, Ederson didn't even have time to react. The ball rubbed the inside of the post from his left side and went in.

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

On the sidelines, Zidane was stunned for a second, and then touched his head with his right hand in disbelief.

Then a wave of ecstasy erupted in his heart like a volcano, causing his blood that was about to cool down to boil again, and his steps became a little brisker.

He has not felt this kind of emotion that makes his soul tremble for a long time after retiring.

In the stands, Manchester City fans were also stunned. The ecstasy of winning the championship a moment ago was shattered by Ronaldo's shocking barb.

On the Real Madrid stand, countless fans who had already walked up the steps to leave stood blankly on the steps, looking back at the Real Madrid players who had already started celebrating on the field.

At this moment, their lost souls floated back.
