In the final stage of the game, Galatasaray's players seemed to have accepted their fate and no longer thought about scoring goals, but instead defended to prevent Chelsea from scoring again.
Their back line retreated to their own penalty area and formed a multi-layer human wall. Galatasaray gave up the attack and everyone retreated to defend.
Facing Chelsea's final sprint offensive, Galatasaray's defenders tried their best to clear the siege and not let the opponent have any shooting opportunities.
Even if Chelsea's frontcourt players found a breakthrough, it was difficult to find a shooting angle in the dense defense. Galatasaray tried their best to hold on and no longer had any intention of counterattacking.
In the last moments of the game, only Chelsea's offensive and Galatasaray's defense were left on the field. For the last dignity, they held on to the last moment.
At 90 minutes, the staff on the sidelines held up a sign to indicate 3 minutes of extra time.
There was little time left, and it was almost impossible to equalize the score in these last few minutes.
Unless a miracle happened, Galatasaray could not score a goal against Chelsea for 90 minutes throughout the game, and the probability of turning defeat into victory at the last moment was very small.
Galatasaray's players and coaching staff knew that the gap in strength between them and Chelsea meant that it would be difficult for them to reverse the score.
Chelsea controlled the entire game, and the 2-goal lead basically sealed the victory. It was too difficult to score 2 goals in 3 minutes.
Unless something unexpected happened to the Chelsea team, Galatasaray had no hope of a comeback.
At this time, all the Chelsea fans in the audience were anxiously staring at the timeboard, speculating on the last two minutes.
"Come on! Come on!" The fans shouted nervously, trying to force time to pass quickly.
From time to time, fans in the crowd put their hands together to pray, or clenched their fists to cheer for the team.
Everyone held their breath, fearing that the game would go wrong at the last minute.
The expressions on people's faces were nervous and exaggerated, and they talked to themselves from time to time, urging the players,"Touch the ball, hurry up."
When the referee blew the final whistle, marking the end of the two-round match of the 2013-2014 Champions League round of 16, the inside and outside of Stanford Stadium were boiling. After two rounds of matches, Chelsea eliminated Galatasaray with a total score of 3:1 and advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
2:0 at home and 1:1 away, Chelsea defeated the strong enemy with its positive style and stable performance.
