In the 83rd minute, the score remained 0-2, with Monaco continuing to lead. In the final moments, Monaco once again unleashed their defensive counter-attacking strategy, preventing Dortmund from pressing too far forward.
If we were to name the most frustrated player in this match, it would undoubtedly be Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, the Bundesliga's top scorer this season. Previously, Aubameyang had maintained an average of 1.2 goals per game in the Bundesliga, scoring in almost every match.
His performance in the Champions League has also been impressive, with 7 goals currently ranking 4th. Ahead of him are Barcelona's Yossi, PSG's Cavani, and Bayern Munich's Lewandowski.
His performance in this match was also commendable. He frequently appeared in key positions and also took several high-quality shots.
Normally, his shots like these have an almost 80% chance of going in, but in this match, the Asian kid on the opposing team kept saving shots that he thought were sure to go in.
In terms of suffering, no one present was more distressed than him!
Before the match, he had always looked down on Monaco, a small team. After all, although both teams were considered top clubs in Europe, the quality of the stars he had produced in recent years was obviously much better than that of Monaco.
Moreover, Borussia Dortmund has a perfect squad this season, both in terms of personnel and the chemistry between players. They are confident that playing at home will allow them to easily defeat this small French Ligue 1 team.
However, with the game almost over, they still couldn't break through the opponent's goal, which made the Dortmund players even more anxious.
When it was Dortmund's turn to attack again, Lei Ming watched the opponent's attack intently.
As Dortmund's attacker in this match, Aubameyang has successfully accumulated experience over time. If he still cannot break through his defenses in this game, then Lei Ming would like to say that perhaps next time we meet, he will not have the chance.
Because over time, he can spar with his opponents by constantly expending his mental energy, and in the process, he can also deeply understand all of their strengths and weaknesses. Coupled with his superhuman memory, it can be said that any archer he has collected will stand before him like a naked flower girl.
With less than fifteen minutes left in the match, Monaco's players were trying every possible way to stall for time.
When Dortmund's ball reached Shinji Kagawa, it was directly knocked down by Moutinho, who had just come on. Unexpectedly, Moutinho also started to act out, falling to the ground in pain, clutching his face and legs.
The reason for covering his face was to prevent his expression from being captured by the camera, and covering his legs naturally indicated that his legs hurt.
Seeing this, Shinji Kagawa was furious. He didn't even pretend and stood up abruptly. Just as he was about to confront the other party, the Monaco players around him blocked him.
"What are you doing! Step back."
Despite his youth, Mbappe has shown his tough side at this time.
The referee, already desensitized to such physical confrontations, stepped in to calm both teams down, which helped them regain their composure.
As the performer, Moutinho, seeing that he had achieved his goal, slowly stretched his body with the help of his teammates, then grimaced and limped to indicate that he could continue the game.
"Damn, you guys have really figured out the art of football. You're amazing!"
Shinji Kagawa walked past his opponent and gave him a disgruntled taunt, but Moutinho ignored the sarcasm and continued to mark him closely.
In terms of physical strength, Moutinho, who is in his thirties, is no worse than anyone else. On the contrary, his disciplined lifestyle allows him to maintain a good condition. When he came on in the 80th minute of the game, his physical strength completely outclassed everyone on the field. At this time, his close marking of Shinji Kagawa made it very difficult for the opponent.
Moreover, Moutinho's range of movement is very wide. Not only is Shinji Kagawa on his defensive list, but Reus and Aubameyang are also among his targets.
In the 90th minute, Shinji Kagawa received the ball and, feeling the force of the pass from behind, didn't linger and immediately lobbed it to Reus on the other side.
During this period, Reus was still a very threatening player. He possessed speed, dribbling, and breakthrough skills. After receiving the ball, he would make a series of small-scale maneuvers, which made Jeremiah and Sidibé somewhat embarrassed.
Sidibé was already on a yellow card, so he was much more cautious in his actions, but he still made a mistake in this defensive play.
Handball!
Whether intentionally or not, under the referee's watchful eye, Sidibe did indeed touch the ball with his hand in the penalty area. Without hesitation, the referee awarded Dortmund a penalty and also gave Sidibe another yellow card. Two yellows made one red card, and Monaco's full-back Sidibe was sent off.
Monaco fans were stunned. Almost everyone could see that Sidibe hadn't touched the ball intentionally. Under these circumstances, a penalty kick would have been enough, but this corrupt referee gave them another yellow card, and it was on Sidibe's head.
It's hard to believe there's nothing fishy going on here.
The Monaco coach on the sidelines was also appealing to the linesman, trying to influence the referee's decision, but it was all in vain.
"Damn it, how much dirty money did this bastard referee take to use dirty tricks on us?!"
"That bastard, if you see him outside, you must kill him!"
"You bastard, what right do you have to be a referee, you piece of trash!"
The Monaco fans' shouts were already quite loud, but they were completely drowned out by the even louder voices of the home fans.
How could the home fans not be happy with such a great gift from the referee!
Although the game is nearing its end, anything is possible as long as it's not over. If they score this penalty and then try for another goal, they won't lose.
It's unclear when it started, but Hornets fans no longer expect their team to beat their opponents; they even feel that a draw would be the greatest victory.
It can only be said that Monaco really gave them a big scare in this match, so much so that they felt that a draw was already a hard-won victory.
