Chapter 616 Scored 2 goals, and the gods descended!
Bell's upside-down golden hook went in very beautifully. Even as an opponent, Lin Quan had to give him a thumbs up.
Perhaps if Bell were to do it again, he might not be able to replicate the same wonderful goal!
After Bell scored, the two teams returned to the same starting line.
Real Madrid, with their morale boosted, chose to take advantage of the situation and launch a fierce attack on Manchester City after the restart.
Their offense did put a lot of pressure on Manchester City. The overly excited Bell and Ronaldo, who was actively seeking goals, once made Manchester City's defense uneasy.
But Manchester City quickly made a targeted response. The forwards retreated and strengthened the interception in the middle. The midfielders cooperated with the full-backs to put pressure on Real Madrid's wing players to prevent the opponent from making crosses.
As a result, Real Madrid's offensive threat was gradually contained, and the situation began to stabilize again.
But during this period, both sides had several opportunities.
In the 69th minute, Manchester City completed a continuous collision with the wall in the frontcourt.
After Lin Quan dribbled the ball horizontally at the front of the penalty area, he suddenly shot a cold arrow, and the football flew against the lawn towards the lower right corner of the goal.
Courtois' height advantage turned into a disadvantage at this time.
Faced with this kind of ground-breaking attack, his speed to the ground was half a beat slower than that of the shorter goalkeeper.
And it was this half-shot that prevented Courtois from completing the save.
Seeing Courtois surrendering, the Manchester City players near the penalty area couldn't help but raise their hands and start celebrating.
However, at this moment, only a bang was heard, and the football hit the post again and bounced out.
The Manchester City fans in the stands were wailing, why is it the goalpost again?
How many balls will be blocked by the goalpost in this game?
Just when the Manchester City fans felt desperate and the Real Madrid fans felt lucky, thinking that their team had escaped disaster, a blue figure jumped out quickly and shot the ball into the goal before Real Madrid's defender could make a clearance.
Varane, who was about to make a rescue, kicked his foot in the air and sat down on the ground.
He didn't care about his sore butt. After landing, he immediately went to see who had snatched the ball from his feet.
What appeared in his field of vision was the back of the opponent No. 10.
The person who completed the follow-up shot was none other than Lin Quan himself.
Perhaps he had a premonition of Manchester City's bad luck today, so after completing the shot, Lin Quan immediately prepared for a follow-up shot.
The hard work paid off, the ball really didn't go in, and he caught it.
All I can say is that what should be yours will still be yours after all.
Cristiano Ronaldo in the distance shook his head helplessly, is this okay?
It seems that I have to become more active and look for opportunities to make up shots in front of the goal.
Lin Quan's goal changed the situation of the game again. The original score was now 2:1, and Manchester City took the lead again.
At this time, the game has entered the 70th minute, and there are only about 20 minutes left before the end of regular time.
There is not much time left for Real Madrid.
"Attack, attack for me!"
Zidane glanced at the time and impatiently took off his suit and tie.
This damn thing was strangling him so much that he couldn't breathe.
The Real Madrid players on the field obviously realized that time was running out, so they were even more eager to equalize the score.
But Manchester City had begun to shrink their formation at this time. Real Madrid's blind attack not only failed to score goals, but had the opposite effect, making Manchester City's formation more and more tight.
Top teams usually don't bother to set up iron barrel formations, but this is only under normal circumstances.
In the last 20 minutes of the Champions League final, let alone the iron barrel formation, if the rules allowed, they would have wanted to block the entire goal and directly weld the bus to the door frame.
When the opponent adopts intensive defense, Real Madrid's quick counterattack is of no use, and the short pass penetration in the middle is also ineffective.
As a result, their only offensive methods were set pieces and headers.
And this is what Ronaldo is best at.
Therefore, starting from the 70th minute, Ronaldo became extremely active, fighting for the top in the penalty area and taking free kicks outside the penalty area.
But unfortunately, it was Van Dijk, the number one general in Manchester City's defense, who was closely guarding Ronaldo today.
Van Dijk is not inferior to Ronaldo in terms of height, strength, and jumping ability, and he is also younger than Ronaldo.
Under his personal marking, it was difficult for Ronaldo to seize these opportunities. Although he tried his best to take off every time, he could never comfortably complete a header.
As time passed, the Real Madrid players on the field became more and more impatient, and the movements of their feet gradually became louder.
In the 82nd minute, Marcelo kicked Mbappe down on the wing.
Manchester City quickly took a free kick. De Bruyne glanced at Lin Quan's position while dribbling the ball forward, and then sent a trademark 45-degree diagonal cross.
The quality of this pass was extremely high. The football bypassed the defensive players around Lin Quan and landed right in front of him, allowing him to get the ball comfortably without slowing down.
Well done!
Lin Quan couldn't help but secretly praise in his heart. Only De Bruyne can pass such a penetrating and comfortable pass.
Seeing that Varane could not steal the ball, he could only pull Lin Quan with his hands in desperation.
But he seemed to have forgotten that the two were now in Real Madrid's penalty area.
After the referee saw Varane's actions, he put the whistle into his mouth and was ready to blow the whistle at any time.
However, Lin Quan, who was running, was not pulled down by Varane. He tried his best to swing his body and break away from Varane's pull. He pushed hard with his right foot and swung his left foot before Courtois attacked. A volley.
The football was like a shell, whizzing past Courtois, crossing the goal line and flying into the net.
The power of the football was so great that the net and the net were pushed backwards by the football, as if it was trying to break free!
The score became 3:1!
Manchester City suddenly exerted their strength in the second half and scored two goals, which stunned Real Madrid.
After scoring the goal, Lin Quan ran all the way to the corner kick area, faced the stands, and opened his arms as if he were a god descending to earth.
This is Bellingham's classic celebration, but before Bellingham, many people in football had used this celebration.
Seeing Lin Quan's actions, the fans in the stands let out deafening shouts.
The roof of the Kiev Olympic Stadium almost collapsed due to the huge cheers!
"Forest!"
"Forest!"
"Forest!"
The fans who came to the scene shouted Lin Quan's name loudly, as if worshiping a savior hero, expressing their admiration to him. Many of the neutral fans who came to watch the game were Lin Quan fans.
For them, being able to see such a wonderful game at home and see their favorite stars perform such a wonderful performance in such a wonderful game is really worth the money!
It would be even more worthwhile if we could see Lin complete his iconic celebration of raising his collar and inspecting the court again.
"One more!"
I don’t know who took the lead in the booing. Soon, calls for Lin Quan to score another goal began one after another, resounding throughout the audience.
Hearing the shouts of the fans, Lin Quan smiled on his face.
He glanced at Real Madrid's goal and scored another one?
It feels very difficult!
There isn't much game time left, so there may not be a chance.
But as a fan-loving fanatic, since the fans have asked for it, of course he has to give it a try.
As if sensing Lin Quan's unkind gaze, Real Madrid goalkeeper Courtois shuddered subconsciously.
It’s broken, it seems like it’s being targeted by a ferocious beast!
Lin Quan's second goal made the game take a turn for the worse.
Twenty minutes ago, things were going well for Real Madrid, but now they were in mourning.
Even the most optimistic Real Madrid fans are beginning to panic at this time.
The regular time of the game was less than ten minutes. Even including injury time, it lasted for thirteen or four minutes.
In such a short period of time, two goals are needed to equalize the score, and three goals are needed to reverse the victory.
Even for a top team like Real Madrid, this is too difficult.
Thinking of this, Real Madrid fans feel very bitter.
Will the championship trophy that was finally snatched away from Manchester City last year be returned this year?
I'm so unhappy!
This is also the truest feeling of these Real Madrid players on the court.
Especially for people like Ronaldo and Bale.
Bale has only been on the field for a short time, and he hasn't had enough fun yet. Is he about to lose?
As for Ronaldo, his opponent Lin Quan has scored two goals, but he has not scored a single goal.
This is really outrageous, especially since this game is his farewell game at Real Madrid, which is even more unacceptable.
If Real Madrid loses in the end and he leaves the team, wouldn't he become a deserter?
The fighting spirit of the two people quickly ignited. At this moment, all the previous unhappiness disappeared, and the two people had a common goal - to win the game!
It seems that because the two-goal lead is too big, Manchester City's players' psychological defense is slightly relaxed.
In the 84th minute, Real Madrid successfully intercepted the ball near the center circle. Bell ran with the ball from the wing, cut inside to the front of the penalty area, and passed to Ronaldo in the penalty area.
The ball was not passed very well, the ball was passed a bit high, and Ronaldo was not very good at handling it.
But Ronaldo, who was unwilling to give up this opportunity, braked suddenly while running, bent down and headed the ball towards the goal with a very awkward posture.
The ball was so close to the goal that Navas had little time to react, and he misjudged the direction.
Ronaldo's header succeeded and the score became 3:2!
Real Madrid recovered a goal, and Ronaldo finally scored the goal he always wanted!
"Beautifully passed on!"
After Cristiano Ronaldo got up from the ground, he looked back at the Manchester City goal. After confirming that the goal was valid, he jumped up excitedly. As he stepped back, he reached out and pointed to Bale on the other side, gesturing for him to celebrate together.
Bell smiled shyly. If it were in the past, he might just applaud and not run over to participate in the celebration himself.
But this time, after Bale saw Ronaldo's actions, he immediately ran over and gave Ronaldo a passionate hug.
As a person that Florentino is very optimistic about, Bell seems to know something.
As a result, the two people who were originally on bad terms finally improved at this time.
"Good shot, as expected of you, CEO!"
"At the critical moment, it is still up to the president to step up and save the team!"
"Who wouldn't love such a president?"
After Ronaldo's fans saw their idol scoring a goal, they danced excitedly and jumped out with all kinds of complimentary words as if they were free of charge.
It is very difficult to score a goal in the Champions League final, let alone score such a crucial goal when the team is lagging behind and the situation is unprecedentedly severe.
Zidane and the Real Madrid players on the field seemed to see hope after Ronaldo scored this goal.
They are now only one point behind. There is no such thing as away goals in the Champions League final. As long as they score one more goal, they can drag the game into overtime.
In the last Champions League final, Real Madrid won by forcing overtime and a penalty shootout.
This time, if they can drag Manchester City into overtime, then maybe they have a chance to replicate last year's success.
Seeing the momentum of the Real Madrid players, Manchester City started to get nervous.
When leading by 2 goals, players will feel a strong sense of security and their mentality is often the most relaxed.
But if the lead is only one goal, and it is near the end of the game, the psychological pressure on the leading side will be very great.
A one-goal lead may be equalized by the opponent at any time. They will not have any sense of security because of this. Instead, they will be restrained by this goal lead and dare not boldly attack. They are afraid of being tied by the opponent and want to hold on to the existing advantage. Advantage.
But the more cowardly you are, the greater the chance of conceding the ball.
After all, offense is the best defense.
If there is no offensive threat to the opponent's back line, the opponent can be unscrupulous and devote all their strength to attack.
When the opponent's momentum has been fully unleashed, passive defense is the next best option.
Lin Quan knew this very well, so after the game restarted, he took the initiative to ask for the ball. While trying to continue the attack, he worked hard to reduce the pressure on his teammates.
At this time, everyone is under great psychological pressure. When passing the ball, they will subconsciously pass it to teammates behind them who they feel are safer.
At this time, if Real Madrid presses harder, it is very possible to steal the ball in front of Manchester City's penalty area.
Once the ball is lost in this position, it is dangerous. The opponent can shoot directly. The goalkeeper and the defense do not have much time to react, and the probability of losing the ball is very high.
On the sidelines, Guardiola obviously realized that he could not be timid at this time.
So after seeing Lin Quan's actions, Guardiola immediately shouted to the players on the field, asking them to rush forward, respond and cooperate with Lin Quan.
If Lin Quan is allowed to attack alone, once his opponents are surrounded from all sides, he will lose the ball no matter how strong he is.
Real Madrid is playing crazy now. As long as they get the ball, they will pass it directly forward, and all they can think about is attack.
Therefore, they must not be allowed to get the ball. Manchester City must firmly control the ball at their feet. (End of chapter)
