Chapter 3084 A hard-fought victory, Dortmund's real test is coming!
Under the spotlight.
The ball grazed his fingertips and flew into the goal!
"Goooooooooal!!!"
"3 to 3!"
"It's Arnold again!"
This Trent Alexander-Arnold isn't the one from Liverpool, but their captain, Trent Alexander-Arnold!
The fans at the stadium chanted "Maximilian Arnold!"
Arnold, who scored the goal, patted his chest in celebration.
The fans in the stadium jumped up again in excited celebration.
Chinese-style fans~
For them, getting just one point against Dortmund would be enough.
Now that the score is back to a draw, they would be happy if it could stay that way until the end.
However, after this goal, both sides made substitutions!
Glasna brought on two strikers in one go.
Left winger Gerhardt and attacking midfielder Philipp were both substituted.
They brought on Białyk and Brekalo.
Biawijk stands a full 191cm tall, forming a twin tower with Weghorst.
Brekalo is a right-footed player, known for his strong dribbling and passing abilities.
Who would have thought that after scoring, instead of focusing on defense, they would bring on attacking players?
This is a fight to the death with Dortmund!
However, Ten Hag was not idle either, and immediately substituted Emre Can for Dahoud!
We must increase the altitude.
Otherwise it would really be washed away.
With both sides having completed their substitutions, the match resumed!
For a good ten minutes or so, neither side made any progress.
In the 69th minute, Dortmund made another substitution.
Vice-captain Reus took to the field, along with Sancho.
They substituted young player Reina and today's goal scorer Götze.
Clearly, Ten Hag was also very dissatisfied with this result.
He was still hoping to score three points!
However, after the substitution, Ye Chen heard the "King of Adversity" status notification in his mind.
"Beep~"
The game continues!
71 minutes 42 seconds.
Wolfsburg continues its offensive!
Arnold takes a powerful shot from the edge of the penalty area.
This time, however, he was blocked by Emre Can, who had just come on.
The football deflected to the right.
Baku, on the right wing, followed up and crossed the ball directly.
The two tall towers in the middle started operating simultaneously!
"Boom!"
Weghorst outjumped Hummels to win the header!
Just as the football flew towards the goal like a cannonball.
After a long silence, Onana stepped forward.
A godlike reaction—he blocked the ball with one hand!
"Sigh~~~"
Gasps of shock filled the air!
It's like an exhaust fan.
They all stared at Onana in disbelief.
The ball landed, and Akanji, with his lightning-fast reflexes, immediately cleared it.
Ten Hag on the sidelines breathed a sigh of relief.
If Dortmund gets scored on at this point, they'll be in real danger!
The attack just ended here.
Dortmund were not to be outdone.
Time passes quickly.
Only ten minutes remained of the allotted time.
81 minutes 25 seconds.
It's Dortmund's turn for a corner kick!
Sancho delivered the ball directly to the near post from the corner area.
Ye Chen quickly started his run and headed the ball on.
Unlike Dortmund, both of their tall strikers dropped back into the penalty area to defend.
There are four players who are over 190cm tall.
"Boom!"
Ye Chen passed the ball to the middle.
Before Akanji could even head the ball in for a rebound, goalkeeper Castells punched it out of the penalty area.
On the perimeter, Reus, who had been lying in wait, quickly judged the ball's trajectory.
Follow up with a kick...
"Oh!"
That shot hit the far post!
However, there were too many people inside the restricted area!
Seeing the direction the ball was flying, defender Brooks immediately stretched out his leg to intercept it.
But it was this subconscious movement that caused the football to deflect.
"Shu~"
The goalkeeper dived to the left, but the ball deflected to the right!
At this moment, the whole place was silent.
"The ball is in!"
"Reus deflected the ball and scored..."
"Lady Luck is on Borussia Dortmund's side!"
"They took the lead again in the final moments of the game!"
Zhan Jun's exclamation echoed throughout every household.
Ten Hag raised his arms in celebration.
What does "God replacing man" mean?
This is!
He's even thought of tomorrow's headline.
"A brilliant substitution! Ten Hag's masterful tactical move, bringing on Reus to win the game!"
Reus rushed to the corner flag and slid down his knees.
If Dortmund can take three points today, then he will be a true hero.
However, there are still ten minutes left.
It's not time for Dortmund to be happy yet!
The game resumed soon.
Both sides made numerous substitutions.
Dortmund deployed a five-man defense in the final moments.
The bus was parked at the entrance.
88 minutes 42 seconds.
Biawijk, who came on as a substitute, headed the ball towards the goal.
Onana, standing in front of the gate, was out of reach.
But the football grazed the post and went out of bounds.
In the final moments, Wolfsburg launched a massive bombardment.
But who would have thought that Dortmund's defense, after conceding three goals, would suddenly spring back?
The score remained unchanged until the very last moment!
“Beep beep~beep~~~”
Accompanied by the referee's whistle.
The match has officially ended!
Borussia Dortmund narrowly defeated Wolfsburg 4-3 away from home!
The competition for the top four suddenly became fierce.
However, what made Wolfsburg fans slightly happier was that they weren't the only ones to lose this round; Bayer Leverkusen, who were fifth in the league, also lost.
Let them remain in fourth place in the league with a one-point advantage!
After the match ended, news about the Champions League quickly emerged.
On one side is the Manchester derby in the Premier League.
One match is between Manchester City, the Premier League leaders, and Borussia Dortmund, the Bundesliga leaders.
It generated a lot of buzz.
It's worth noting that Manchester United and Liverpool have never faced each other in the knockout stages before.
Regardless of who wins this time, it will be the start of a new chapter for both teams!
Ye Chen is also fully committed to preparing for the battle.
At this point, we have to thank the match arrangement of playing the home game first and then the away game.
After all, they had just played a tough away game, and going to Manchester to play another game would put enormous pressure on their physical and mental condition.
On the contrary, Dortmund have performed exceptionally well at the Westfalenstadion this season, losing only one game.
Therefore, they have a psychological advantage.
Especially in the Champions League, Dortmund has won five consecutive home games!
They defeated Marseille 3-0.
They defeated Lazio 5-3.
They defeated Liverpool 5-1.
They defeated Chelsea 4-3.
In the last match, they even swept PSG 6-1!
For fans, Westfalenstadion is Dortmund's lucky ground.
Dortmund's beautiful female fans~
Here, they have only one goal: to defeat Manchester City and seize the initiative!
But everyone knows that Manchester City is among the top three in football today.
With Guardiola's guidance and the heavy investment from the management over the past few seasons, they have the strength to win the Champions League!
Of course, Manchester City is currently the team with the most goals scored and the fewest goals conceded in the Premier League, and they are also very strong in the Champions League!
Now that they have made it to the Champions League semi-finals, they are eager to follow in the footsteps of Paris Saint-Germain and win their first Champions League title, thus shedding their nouveau riche image!
Just like a player must win the World Cup to become a football king.
If the club wants to shed its nouveau riche image, it must win the Champions League.
Otherwise, the other champions wouldn't be convincing!
