Chapter 273: Manchester City Miracle, Advance to the Champions League Final!
The five-minute break soon ended and the overtime officially began.
Real Madrid launched a fierce attack on Manchester City from the first minute of extra time.
The entire Manchester City team strictly implemented Pellegrini's defensive tactics, fighting to the death and trying their best to deal with Real Madrid.
The situation was the same as in the previous injury time, and Real Madrid once again formed an attack on Manchester City's goal.
However, Real Madrid was always nervous when attacking because Lin Quan was at the front and always posed a huge threat to their goal.
However, it was difficult for Manchester City players to pass the ball to Lin Quan.
Under the siege of Real Madrid, even if they succeeded in stealing the ball, they would either be immediately pressed by the opponent or Lin Quan would be closely watched by the opponent and the ball could not be passed to him.
Real Madrid are not fools. Aguero has been substituted, and only Lin Quan is a threat to them, so they will naturally guard Lin Quan closely.
Real Madrid defender Pepe almost always sticks to Lin Quan, going wherever Lin Quan goes.
In addition to Pepe, Real Madrid's defensive midfielder and two full-backs also often take care of Lin Quan, and there are always at least two defensive players around Lin Quan.
In this situation, he really couldn't get the ball.
Even if they get it, the opponent will commit a foul immediately.
As Manchester City's counterattack failed, Real Madrid launched an even more unscrupulous siege on Manchester City.
The overtime in the first half was soon coming to an end. The physical strength of the players on both sides had dropped significantly, and they were almost unable to run at this time.
Under the pressure of Fernandinho, Modric passed the ball to his teammate with difficulty, and then fell down.
"Let's take a look at this ball!"
"Modric passes to Di Maria, Di Maria passes to Ronaldo!"
"C Ronaldo speeds up and creates space to shoot!"
“The ball goes in!”
"Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid's top star, stepped up when the team was in trouble and helped Real Madrid score the most crucial goal in this season's Champions League!"
"With this goal, Real Madrid expanded its lead. The total score between the two teams is now 6:5!"
"This goal also means there will be no penalty shootout in this game."
In the CCTV commentary booth, both commentators were shocked by Ronaldo's unreasonable goal.
Lin Quan's outstanding performance in this game made people subconsciously ignore another superstar.
There's Cristiano Ronaldo on the other side!
Including regular time and injury time, the players on the field have played for more than 100 minutes.
In this situation, Ronaldo still has such a strong explosive power and such accuracy. This ability is unbelievable! "It's a pity. Manchester City has tried their best, but they are missing one person. The impact on the team is really too great!"
Xu Yang shook his head regretfully. After scoring this goal, Manchester City was probably really powerless to turn the tide.
The situation in the first half of overtime was already clear. After the numerical balance on the field was broken, Real Madrid completely gained the upper hand.
With one less threatening point in the frontcourt, Real Madrid has more energy to defend Lin Quan.
This almost completely strangled Manchester City's offensive threat!
After completing this crucial goal, Ronaldo ran to the sidelines again and used his domineering celebration move.
A burst of "SIU" was suddenly heard at the Bernabeu!
At this moment, Real Madrid fans were extremely grateful that they had Ronaldo in their team. If it weren't for Ronaldo, the outcome of this game would have been hard to say.
Enjoying the cheers of the fans and the support of his teammates, Ronaldo glanced towards the front court and saw Lin Quan standing alone in Real Madrid's half.
Lin, I admit that you are strong, but my teammates are stronger! Besides, I also scored two goals, and I am only one goal away from you!
Ronaldo feels that he is in very good shape and he is confident that he can score another goal in the final to tie Lin Quan's Champions League record.
Even more, if his performance in the final was as good as this one, maybe he could score twice and top the Champions League scorer list! After Real Madrid finished celebrating, the first half of the extra time was over.
There was no break in the overtime and the second half of the game started immediately.
The team fell behind again, the score was unfavorable to Manchester City, and Pellegrini chose to attack.
Manchester City only needs to score one goal to advance. At this time, defending will surely lead to failure. Only by attacking can there be a glimmer of hope.
Ancelotti admired the courage of the Chilean engineers, and they were just as radical as he had expected.
But this is the Bernabeu, are we going to fight with Real Madrid here?
That's courting death! Taking advantage of the opportunity of the two sides exchanging venues, Lin Quan chatted with De Bruyne for a while.
"Kevin, do you still have the energy?"
De Bruyne nodded: "A little, but not much!"
"That's all, just pass it to me later when you see my position!"
"Do you want to challenge Real Madrid's defense alone?"
De Bruyne glanced at Lin Quan and asked in confusion.
Lin Quan nodded: "Is there any other better way?"
De Bruyne shook his head, indeed no more.
"Okay, leave it to me. I will do my best to pass the ball to you!"
In the second half of extra time, Real Madrid still firmly held the initiative.
The fans at the Bernabeu were singing and dancing, seemingly celebrating their hard-earned victory.
In the 25th minute of extra time, Manchester City intercepted the ball in the backcourt and De Bruyne reached out to ask for it in advance.
Fernandinho, who intercepted the ball, hesitated for a moment, but still passed the ball to him.
While he was hesitating for a while, Real Madrid players pressed forward.
After De Bruyne got the ball, he almost used up all his strength to turn around with difficulty, glanced at the direction where Lin Quan was, and passed the ball! Lin, I can only help you here, the rest depends on you!
Seeing his teammates steal the ball, Lin Quan took the initiative to retreat, trying to get rid of the defense of Real Madrid players.
Pepe wouldn't let him succeed and followed him immediately.
But because Lin Quan took the initiative to retreat and was one step faster than Pepe, he was able to successfully receive De Bruyne's pass.
Pepe decisively stepped forward to intercept, trying to stop Lin Quan before he completed the turn, and let his teammates double-team him to resolve his attack like before.
But Lin Quan seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. When Pepe was trying to steal the ball, he knocked the ball with his heel and kicked it out between Pepe's legs.
Then he struggled to break free from Pepe's pull and slipped past Pepe.
After being closely guarded by the opponent for a long time, if he still doesn't know how to deal with Pepe, then Lin Quan's time has been in vain! "Stop him, stop him quickly!"
On the sidelines, Ancelotti's face suddenly changed and he shouted at the top of his lungs.
Real Madrid's midfielder and full-back rushed towards Lin Quan at the first moment, trying to intercept his ball as before.
However, Lin Quan did not give them any chance. He kicked the ball out and then sprinted with all his strength.
Including injury time, the game had already lasted for more than 120 minutes, and Real Madrid's players no longer had much energy left.
At this time, he wanted to chase Lin Quan but it was difficult for him to catch up. He could only watch him stride towards the football.
Casillas once again left the goal and tried desperately to stop Lin Quan.
But Lin Quan did not give him another chance to tackle the ball. He ran to the football at a faster speed, pushed it to the right, avoided Casillas' tackle, and ran towards Real Madrid's penalty area with the football.
Seeing this scene, the 80,000 Real Madrid fans in the Bernabeu hardly dared to open their eyes! Manchester City's number 10 dribbled into his own penalty area, but there was no one in his own penalty area, only an empty goal.
It's not hard to imagine what will happen next! Lin Quan easily kicked the ball into the empty goal and performed a hat trick at the Bernabeu! He stood in the penalty area of Real Madrid, raised his collar, and looked around the entire stadium like a king! "Haha, here it comes, Lin Huang's signature celebration!"
"Touring the Bernabeu like a king, majestic and domineering, I like it!"
"So cool, this is so cool!"
"Damn it, he tricked me!"
When Real Madrid players saw Lin Quan's goal, they were struck by lightning and stood there in a daze.
Lin Quan's goal changed the score to 4:3, the total score was 6:6, but Manchester City had 3 away goals.
Real Madrid had to score one more goal to advance to the final! And now there were only five minutes left. By the time Manchester City finished celebrating, the time would be even shorter. Would they still have time? Looking at the back of the man with his collar raised, many Real Madrid players lost the courage to resist.
In the final stage, Real Madrid launched the most fierce attack, but the Manchester City players, inspired by Lin Quan's goal, stubbornly defended their goal! A few minutes later, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.

Although Manchester City lost the game thanks to Lin Quan's hat trick, they defeated Real Madrid with the advantage of away goals and advanced to the Champions League final first.
This is the first time in Manchester City's history that they have reached the final, and they are very close to winning their first Champions League trophy in their history.
Manchester City's opponent will be the winner between Atletico Madrid and Bayern. Considering Atletico Madrid's victory in the last round away from home, the outside world is more optimistic about Atletico Madrid's advancement to the final.
The moment the final whistle sounded, Ronaldo stood on the court, reluctant to leave for a long time.
"Oh, my Ronaldo makes people feel sorry for him. His performance in this game was good enough!"
"There is no way, the opponent is stronger, or rather, Ronaldo's opponent is stronger!"
"I really don't know how upset Ronaldo is feeling right now. He tried his best but still couldn't win!"
"There is actually a gap in strength between the two teams. If it weren't for Lin Huang's explosive performance, Manchester City would probably lose!"
People do not share the same joys and sorrows. Manchester City reversed Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
However, Guardiola's team lost the game!
In the second leg, Atletico Madrid took the initiative throughout the game.
They fought like a well-disciplined army and blocked all of Bayern's attacks.
With two goals in the first and second half, Atletico Madrid defeated Bayern 2-0 at home, swept Bayern 3-0 in two rounds and advanced to the final.
Poor Bayern was shut out and lost miserably.
Last season they shut out Barcelona, and this season they were shut out by another La Liga team. This can be considered as tit-for-tat!
After Atletico Madrid defeated Bayern, the two teams that entered the Champions League were revealed.
The Champions League final will be held in 25 days at the Estadio da Luz in Lisbon, Portugal.
However, Manchester City no longer cares about these things. The Champions League final is still a long way off, and they still have another trophy to win, the FA Cup! This season's Premier League is coming to an end, and including the make-up games, Manchester City still has three games to play.
On May 3, in the 37th round of the Premier League, Manchester City challenged fifth-ranked Everton away.
This game is not important to Manchester City, but it is crucial to Everton who are aiming to enter the Champions League.
The Toffees seemed to feel that Manchester City had just had a tough battle with Real Madrid and were physically and mentally exhausted, so they had an opportunity to take advantage.
So they took advantage of their home field and launched a fierce attack on Manchester City.
However, when the final whistle sounded, the Toffees fans were all devastated.
A bright red number appeared on the scoreboard - 0:6!
The home team is in front, the away team is behind! The Toffees were slaughtered by Manchester City at home, Aguero and Lin Quan both scored twice, De Bruyne and David Silva also scored one goal each.
Manchester City's bloodbath of Everton made Professor Wenger cry with joy.
What he was most worried about before the game was that Manchester City would let Everton down after having already won the championship.
If that happens, Arsenal's fourth place might be at risk.
Fortunately, Manchester City did not do so, but instead handed Everton a crushing defeat.
This crushing defeat not only caused Everton to fall behind Arsenal in goal difference, but also crushed their morale.
Wenger's Arsenal successfully secured fourth place!
Manchester City doesn't care whether Arsenal can successfully maintain their fourth place.
On May 8, Manchester City returned to their home ground to face Aston Villa.
This is the make-up match of the 29th round of the Premier League.
Facing Aston Villa, a notorious foul-prone team in the Premier League, Manchester City played particularly fiercely.
Their aggressive tackles and rough fouls turned Aston Villa, who loved to commit fouls the most and had the roughest actions, into a kitten that could only complain to the referee.
At the end of the game, Manchester City defeated Aston Villa 4:0.
Negredo scored twice, Lin Quan and Kroos each scored a goal.
May 11th is the 38th round of the Premier League, which is also the final battle of this Premier League season.
Manchester City face West Ham United at home.
In this game, Pellegrini only let Lin Quan and other main players play for half the game, allowing them to complete their warm-up and maintain their form before replacing them.
But even so, thanks to goals from Lin Quan and Aguero in the first half, Manchester City easily defeated their opponents 2:0.
At this point, Manchester City has played all of its Premier League games this season.
In a total of 38 games, they achieved a record of 31 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss, with a total score of 99 points, breaking Chelsea's record of 95 points in a single Premier League season in the 2004-2005 season.
In addition to breaking the league's highest points record, Manchester City scored a total of 127 goals in these 38 games, setting a new record since the Premier League's reform, second only to the historical record of 128 goals set by Aston Villa in the 1930-1931 season.
However, there were a total of 42 games in the league at that time, while the Premier League after the reform only had 38 rounds. If these four games were included, Manchester City's firepower would definitely break the record.
In terms of personal data, Lin Quan scored a total of 52 goals in the 35 games he played. Not only did he lead Suarez, who was second in the scorer list, by a huge margin, he also significantly refreshed the single-season goal record in the Premier League.
The previous record holder was Alan Shearer and Andy Cole with 34 goals.
Lin Quan improved this record by 18 goals, and this was achieved when the Premier League was shortened from 42 rounds to 38 rounds.
This historical record, apart from himself, is probably hard to be broken by anyone else! The most terrifying thing about Lin Quan is that he not only has a lot of goals, but also a terrifying number of assists.
Lin Quan has completed a total of 21 assists in the 35 games he played this season.
This assist number also ranks first! Of Manchester City's 127 goals, Lin Quan alone created 73 goals, which is almost equivalent to 60% of the team's firepower.
If Barcelona can't play without Messi, then Manchester City will probably fall to a lower level once they lose Lin Quan.
Before the Premier League released the statistics of each team, people didn't know how terrifying Manchester City was. After the statistics were released, in addition to feeling the horror of Manchester City, people were more in awe of Lin Quan.
It turns out that he has grown to such a height without realizing it!
After reading everyone's opinions, I found that everyone didn't like this part of the plot. I listened to everyone's opinions humbly and rewrote the plot.
