Chapter 397: Hat-trick in the final, ending Barcelona's dynasty!
“Goal!!!”
"Lin Quan scored his third goal and completed an incredible hat trick in the Champions League final!"
"It's the first time in 46 years since Pierino Prati scored a hat trick in a Champions League final.
This is also the first time a hat trick has been scored in the Champions League final since the Champions League was restructured! Before this, only Di Stefano, Puskas and Prati had completed a hat trick in the Champions League final. Now, there is one more person to be added to this list, and that person is Lin Quan! "
The fans in the Olympic Stadium and fans around the world watching the game on TV were all shocked at this moment.
Someone actually performed a hat trick in the Champions League final? Is this person still human? Since ancient times, there has been no name in the final. It is already very difficult to score in the final, let alone perform a hat trick in the final.
Since the start of the Champions League in 1955, in the 60 Champions League finals, hat tricks have only occurred in the 1959-1960 season, when Real Madrid defeated Frankfurt 7:3, and in the 1968-1969 season, when AC Milan defeated Ajax 4:1.
In the match where Real Madrid beat Frankfurt 7:3, Di Stefano scored 3 goals to complete a hat trick, while Puskas scored 4 goals, becoming the only player to complete a hat trick in the Champions League final.
After all, these are all very ancient histories, and ordinary football fans know very little about the great players from ancient times.
In the past 20 years of football, especially after the reform of the Champions League, fans rarely see hat tricks in the finals, let alone double goals in the finals.
And today, they actually witnessed history with their own eyes! "Oh my god, am I dreaming? Lin Huang really completed a hat trick in the Champions League final, which is an achievement that even Messi and Ronaldo have never achieved?"
"If I hadn't felt the clear pain from pinching my thigh, I wouldn't have believed it. After all, this is the Champions League final and our opponent is the powerful Barcelona!"
Because this record is so outrageous that many people find it hard to believe.
Not to mention that they couldn't believe it, when they saw Lin Quanzhen score a goal, Manchester City head coach Guardiola was also shocked.
"I was just trying to save the situation, but I didn't expect this guy to actually do it!"
He carefully recalled the choices Lin Quan made before scoring the goal, and couldn't help but admire him inwardly: he chose the right timing, was extremely decisive after making the move, and the final shot was perfect.
If there is a problem in any of these three links, this goal will not be scored.
There were no loopholes in Barcelona's defense. If anything, Busquets should have closely marked Lin Quan and should not have left him.
However, without special instructions from the head coach, he naturally did not dare to do so, because this would cause Barcelona's defensive formation to be incomplete, resulting in huge loopholes in their defense.
By then, even if it’s not Lin Quan who scores the goal, it will be other Manchester City players.
"This kid is so young, but why does he have so much experience in competitions and an incredibly stable mentality?"
Guardiola was puzzled. When he coached Messi, the young Messi was often impulsive and not calm.
But he had never seen any of these problems on Lin Quan's body.
This guy is like a calm goal-scoring machine, without any emotions.
On the court, when Messi saw Lin Quan break through his own goal again, he suddenly felt powerless and frustrated.
He and his teammates worked so hard for so long and finally got the lead, but the opponent easily regained it.
Why is it so hard to beat this guy?
In the box of the stadium, after seeing this goal, the faces of Bayern chairman Rummenigge and manager Hoeness suddenly became extremely ugly.
Lin Quan's three goals were like three loud slaps in the face, slapping them hard on the face and making them feel burning.
"Humph, Enrique is so useless. He has brought Barcelona's excellent lineup to this point!"
Hoeness was furious and took it out on Barcelona coach Enrique.
Rummenigge's face on the side became even uglier. Obviously, Hoeness's words reminded him of something.
When Guardiola was still at Barcelona, Barcelona was still a famous universal team and was almost invincible.
Anyone who meets Barcelona in the Champions League will be afraid of three points.
If Guardiola was still at Barcelona, with such a lineup, Barcelona would never have been forced into what it is now by Manchester City!
But in this case, doesn't it prove that Bayern is blind? It's fine to let go of a talent like Lin Quan, but they can't even keep a famous coach like Guardiola!
Hennes is just talking about something that is not relevant to him. He is trying to embarrass himself! "Humph, let's go back to the club!"
Rummenigge couldn't bear to watch this game anymore. He was worried that if he continued to watch, he would have a heart attack.
In another box, Barcelona president Bartomeu was really about to have a heart attack.
A few minutes ago, when he saw Suarez score a goal, he danced excitedly in the box and wanted to open champagne to celebrate.
However, within a few minutes, Manchester City poured a bucket of cold water on him, washing away all his joy.
The score was tied again and Barcelona no longer had any advantage.
It is still unknown who will win next!
However, in terms of momentum, Manchester City, who had just scored a goal, were clearly at the peak of their momentum.
When Barcelona was equalized by the opponent, the morale of the players showed a clear decline at this time.
This made Bartomeu extremely worried. Would he be defeated by the opponent? "Haha, this kid is much stronger than he was back then. It seems that if I really go to the Premier League and meet this kid on the field, I will have a headache!"
In the stands, when Klopp saw Lin Quan complete a hat trick in the final, he couldn't help but stand up and applaud him.
He clapped his hands and muttered to himself.
At present, Manchester City is extremely strong. No matter whether he goes to Chelsea or Liverpool, he will be in a tough battle when he meets Manchester City, and the chances of winning are slim.
However, this further aroused his competitive spirit.
After all, the Premier League is not the Bundesliga. In the Bundesliga, his team could not resist Bayern's poaching and could not compete fairly with their opponents.
But it’s different in the Premier League. None of the big clubs are inferior to each other. As long as they can get the strong support of the club and compete fairly, who would Klopp be afraid of?
Compared to Klopp's appreciation, Heynckes only had regret in his eyes.
He also applauded Lin Quan, but when the old coach applauded, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
I heard that Bayern had the opportunity to sign Lin Quan, but unfortunately missed the chance.
If this guy was still in Bayern now, how strong would Bayern be?
What a pity!
When he thought about Bayern choosing Gotze over Lin Quan, Heynckes couldn't help but complain in his heart:
Judging from the current performance of the two, Gotze is not even qualified to carry Lin Quan's shoes.
This kid's condition has been getting worse and worse since last year's World Cup. If he continues like this, he might not even be able to keep his position as a main player next season.
On the other hand, Lin Quan has made rapid progress in recent years. In this game, he even suppressed Messi, who is also a superstar, and has the strength to become the world's number one star.
Compared with such a peerless genius, what is Götze?
Bayern Munich is losing a lot! ...
As usual, after scoring the goal, Lin Quanben planned to turn up his collar and celebrate like a king patrolling the stadium.
As a result, his teammates were too excited and rushed up and knocked him to the ground when he was about to show off, making Lin Quan's attempt to show off fail.
Well, a hat-trick in the Champions League final, such a good opportunity, was ruined by these guys. I don’t know if there will be such an opportunity again in the future!
"Haha, well done, we're tied again!"
"Hey, Lin, how about my pass just now? Was it accurate?"
"Lin, your shot just now was really cool. I saw Ter Stegen used all his strength but still failed to save it. He was so angry that he pounded the grass for half a minute!"
"Feel sorry for the lawn for a minute!"
"Brothers, let's hurry up and do something big, how about defeating Barcelona?"
"Hey, good idea!"
Compared to Barcelona, which wasted game time by celebrating goals, Manchester City's celebrations were much more restrained.
Their celebration only took about a minute. A minute later, all Manchester City players returned to their positions, looking at the Barcelona players with murderous intent.

Next, it was their turn to launch a counterattack.
The Barcelona players felt the opponent's high morale and murderous intent. In addition, their goal had just been scored, and they were a little panicked in their hearts. They were afraid of losing the ball again, so they wanted to stabilize the situation first.
If Manchester City had scored a goal at this time, they would have been defeated.
But if we can maintain this score, there will be at least 30 minutes of overtime to play.
So, after the game resumed, the audience found that Barcelona's offensive intensity suddenly weakened a lot, and was not as active and fierce as before.
On the contrary, Manchester City took advantage of the boost in morale and launched wave after wave of fierce attacks on Barcelona's goal, as if they were determined to seize the opportunity to kill Barcelona.
Facing Manchester City's fierce attack, Barcelona's goal was in a state of panic and the players were all nervous, fearing that they would make mistakes accidentally and ruin all their efforts throughout the season.
The more cautious they are, the less likely they are to attack aggressively, and the less threat they pose to Manchester City's goal.
By this point in the game, Messi's physical strength had been exhausted.
At this time he could hardly run anymore, and without Messi's connection, the threat of Neymar and Suarez dropped sharply, and the three of them could not play any role in the frontcourt.
After these three players lost their threat, even the defenders of Manchester City boldly pressed forward, using Barcelona's most familiar passing and controlling football to continuously pressure Barcelona.
This was the first time that Barcelona felt the pressure of passing and controlling football on their opponents, which made them feel angry and frustrated.
In the past, they were the only ones who could beat their opponents. When will it be the opponent's turn to use their tricks to bully them?
However, no matter how angry they were, it was of no avail as the initiative of the game was completely in Manchester City's hands.
After all, Messi was indeed out of energy, but Lin Quan was still full of energy! He rushed around in and out of the Barcelona penalty area, causing chaos in Barcelona's defense.
Unfortunately, Manchester City was unable to score despite having the advantage. There were too many people in the opponent's penalty area, and their shots either missed or hit the defenders.
The two teams ended up in a 3:3 tie and the game went into overtime.
The rest time before the overtime was limited, and players from both sides did not return to the locker room. Instead, they sat around the head coach and listened to his instructions.
"The opponent's stamina is running out. I will make a substitution later and continue to increase the pressure in the frontcourt. After the second half starts, continue to play in the same way as before and don't give the opponent any chance to breathe!"
Guardiola had no intention of being conservative at all, he didn't want to be dragged into a penalty shootout.
Since the opponent has shown signs of defeat, let's seize the opportunity to take them down! The players nodded heavily. Although the siege just now did not score a goal, they have clearly felt that Barcelona's defensive quality is declining.
On the other side, after Enrique arranged his tactics, he looked at Messi and asked, "Leo, how is your physical condition? Can you hold on in overtime?"
He didn't dare to replace Messi easily, especially when the two teams were still tied. If he rashly replaced Messi, what would Barcelona do to equalize the score if Manchester City scored again?
However, Enrique also observed that Messi's physical fitness had reached its limit.
If he continues to stay on the court during overtime, his role will probably be limited.
"Coach, believe me, I can still hold on!"
Messi looked at Enrique firmly and showed his determination to him.
The game between him and Lin Quan had not been decided yet, so how could he leave the field early? Seeing Messi's firm attitude, Enrique could only nod and did not replace him.
The five-minute break soon ended and overtime officially began.
Both teams made substitutions, Barcelona replaced Rakitic with veteran Xavi.
Xavi has made it clear that he will not renew his contract with the team, so this game should be his last game for Barcelona.
Manchester City was more aggressive, Guardiola replaced three players at once.
He replaced Kroos with Yaya Toure.
De Bruyne was replaced by Milner.
David Silva was replaced by Navas! Guardiola used all three substitutions in one go.
Obviously, Guardiola is ready to fight for his life.
This decision may seem crazy, but it is actually very wise.
Barcelona's physical fitness has already had problems. At this time, he replaced three new players with abundant physical fitness to intensify the stranglehold in the midfield. Barcelona will completely lose control of the midfield.
After losing control of the midfield, the game will be completely under Manchester City's control and they will have countless offensive opportunities.
After the overtime started, the situation was exactly as Guardiola expected.
Under the impact of Manchester City's new forces, Barcelona's midfield was completely out of control.
Manchester City's possession rate soared rapidly and began to threaten Barcelona's goal again and again.
The Barcelona fans at the scene felt desperate and suffocated. The opponent's attack was like a storm and did not stop for a moment.
Their defense line was crumbling under the repeated attacks of the opponents, like a wall that was about to collapse, as if it would collapse with a slight breeze.
In the 103rd minute, just as the first half of overtime was about to end.
Lin Quan dribbled into the penalty area, and Mascherano, who was transformed into a central defender, made a fatal mistake while defending.
He kicked rashly and tripped Lin Quan who was dribbling the ball.
Beep! The referee's whistle sounded very timely, and he immediately pointed to the penalty spot.
Penalty!
There was an uproar at the scene. At this time, Barcelona was awarded a penalty kick, which basically meant that the game had lost its suspense! Under the desperate gaze of countless Barcelona fans, Lin Quan climbed up from the ground and walked towards the penalty spot step by step with the ball in his arms.
It’s time to end Barcelona’s so-called dynasty!
