Chapter 398: Defending the Champions League, Lin Quan became the first person in the football world!
Ter Stegen stared at the man ten meters away with a nervous face. He had heard of the other person's name before joining Barcelona.
But he didn't expect that the opponent's strength was even more terrifying than the rumors! In just one game, the opponent had already broken through the goal he was guarding three times!
Now there is a chance to increase this number to four times! And he has completely become the background board behind the other party breaking the record.
Ter Stegen was so fucked up. If he had known this would happen, he would have applied to be a substitute!
The goalkeeper's success rate in saving penalties is not high, usually only 20-30%.
If we encounter a player who is particularly stable in taking penalty kicks, then this data will probably drop further.
Thinking of this, Ter Stegen recalled Lin Quan's penalty data in his mind, and then he was horrified to find that this guy's penalty hit rate seemed to be 100%! So far, he has never missed a penalty!
A 100% hit rate? This time, I am really finished!
Seeing Lin Quan standing at the penalty spot, Barcelona fans were all nervous to the point of their throats.
They kept praying deep in their hearts, hoping that Ter Stegen could perform bravely and save Lin Quan's penalty.
Some people were also praying that Lin Quan would make a mistake, because only if he made a mistake would Barcelona have a chance to survive.
On the sidelines, Barcelona's head coach Enrique was already so nervous that he couldn't sit still.
He stood on the sidelines, his eyes fixed on his own goal and Lin Quan in front of the goal.
In this game, Lin Quan caused him and Barcelona huge trouble, making Enrique regret it very much.
He sighed in his heart countless times, if this guy had not been driven away back then, why would Barcelona be forced to this extent now?
Although Enrique felt a little guilty, he put the bigger blame on Rosell:
It's all Rosell's fault. If he hadn't insisted on doing it his own way, Lin Quan would definitely still be the treasure of La Masia and Messi's successor! With him and Messi, it would not be a problem for Barcelona to maintain a dynasty for ten or even fifteen years!
Unfortunately, there is no if! Beep! Enrique's thoughts were interrupted by the referee's whistle. On the court, as the referee blew the whistle, Lin Quan glanced at the goal and started to run.
Here we come!
Ter Stegen's heart suddenly tensed up, and he stared at Lin Quan's every move with wide eyes.
Lin Quan did not suddenly change the rhythm, nor did he make any fake moves to deceive the goalkeeper.
After completing a full set of running movements, he kicked the ball hard.
Bang! With a loud bang, the football flew towards Barcelona's goal at an extremely fast speed.
left!
Relying on his keen judgment, Ter Stegen quickly locked the direction of the opponent's shot.
His judgment was correct, he even determined the approximate location of Lin Quan's shot.
But, so what?
The players on the field saw the trajectory of the ball, and Pique, Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets and other Spanish national team players couldn't help but feel a shudder in their hearts, realizing that things were going to get bad! They were too familiar with this kind of penalty kick, because Lin Quan had scored several penalties in this way in last year's World Cup, and in the team's training, he had used the same method to abuse De Gea, Reina and other Spanish national goalkeepers!
Sure enough, Ter Stegen looked very nice with his body stretched out, as graceful and elegant as a roc spreading its wings.
However, this was of no use, as the football almost flew into the goal by brushing against the absolute blind spot at the junction of the post and the crossbar.
Ter Stegen's textbook save was in vain!
Boom! The moment the goal was scored, the Berlin Olympic Stadium fell into a frenzy of celebration.
Manchester City fans were extremely excited, some were shouting and jumping, some were even dancing excitedly in front of Barcelona fans!
Manchester City is leading again and is getting closer to their second Champions League trophy in their team's history.
Barcelona fans looked pale and despaired.
Anyone can see that Barcelona's players have little physical strength left, and their morale has clearly declined after being hit by a series of goals from their opponents.
At this time, Barcelona no longer has the sense of oppression and deterrence of a king's team or a champion's team.
In the box, Bartomeu slumped down in his seat as if all his strength had been drained away.
He muttered to himself: It's over, it's all over! He seemed to have seen the scene where, after losing the game, all the angry Barcelona fans turned against him and turned to support Laporta.
It took a year and a half to carefully complete the plan, but it was completely lost because of this one game.
On the other hand, Laporta's mood was also complicated.
If Barcelona loses, it means that Bartomeu's schemes will fail, and he should be a sure winner in this summer's club presidential election.
However, Laporta had a vague feeling that after missing this chance to win the championship, Barcelona might not be able to win the European championship again for a long time in the future.
After scoring the fourth time, Lin Quan finally found an opportunity to show off before his teammates rushed up.
He turned up his collar and looked around the entire stadium, inspecting his territory like a king.
Wherever he visited, the fans in the stands stood up and applauded, and some even made exaggerated gestures of worship! Really dominating the world! This is the first word that comes to the minds of countless fans.
Throughout history, there have been only two players who have been able to score four goals in the Champions League final: Lin Quan and Puskas!
What is a dominant performance?
"Haha, this kid's celebration is too hateful. Isn't he afraid of having his legs broken by a tackle?"
On the sidelines, after Guardiola celebrated excitedly, he saw Lin Quan's celebration and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.
Although he said this, his eyes were full of doting and pride.
Look, this is my son, the best player in football today.
Messi?
Sorry, not familiar! ...
There was not much time left in the first half of extra time. After Manchester City finished celebrating, the referee quickly blew the whistle to end the first half.
There is no rest time in the overtime. After the two sides exchange venues, the game continues.
Enrique desperately replaced two offensive players and launched an attack on Manchester City regardless of everything.
However, his substitutions not only failed to work, but further weakened Barcelona's defensive capabilities.
Unable to control the midfield, Barcelona couldn't even maintain the passing and controlling system.
The second half of the extra time almost turned into an offensive and defensive drill by Manchester City around Barcelona's goal.
Seeing this scene, Barcelona fans all over the world were completely desperate.
Their team was being suppressed and there was no hope of equalizing or winning.
Countless fans shouted in their hearts, hoping that Messi could step up and save the team from the dire situation.
As Barcelona's top star, Messi has an obligation to step up when the team needs him most.
What Neymar, what Suarez, at the critical moment, Barcelona fans completely forgot about these people, and the first person they thought of was always Messi!
As time passed, Barcelona fans and players became more and more anxious.
“Messi!”
“Messi!”
“Messi!”
I don’t know who started it, but the Barcelona fans at the scene started shouting Messi’s name in unison.
On the court, Messi clenched his teeth after hearing his name.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to stand up, he just doesn’t have the physical strength.
Messi has reached his limit to be able to hold on until now, and what keeps him standing on the court is his strong willpower and desire for the championship.
But now, after hearing the fans' calls and looking at the game time.
Messi realized that he had to stand up.
If they don’t stand up, there will be no chance! In the 115th minute of the game, after being besieged by Manchester City for ten minutes, Barcelona finally found an opportunity.
Busquets successfully intercepted the ball and quickly passed it to Xavi.
Xavi is still in his prime and made a precise pass to find Messi on the wing.
Messi received the ball, dribbled, broke through, and passed the opponent in one go! Looking at Manchester City's goal and the opponent's empty half, Messi started sprinting!
From the time Lin Quan scored until now, Messi has been accumulating strength.
His current physical strength can only support him to complete a sprint and attack. If he fails to seize this last chance, Barcelona will have no choice but to surrender.
Seeing Messi running desperately, the fans at the scene, whether from Barcelona or Manchester City, couldn't help but stand up, stretching their necks and looking at the court nervously.
Everyone understands that this is Barcelona's life-and-death struggle!

If this attack is successful, Manchester City will most likely be dragged into a penalty shootout.
But if Barcelona's counterattack failed and Messi failed to send the ball into Manchester City's goal, then Manchester City would defeat Barcelona and win the Champions League.
"Go, Messi!"
"Danger, retreat quickly!"
Fans of both sides were shouting in their hearts. At this moment, countless people's hearts were moved by Messi who was running with the ball.
In the box, Bartomeu, who had already lost all hope, suddenly stood up, clenched his hands, and stared at Messi who was running wildly.
Messi can definitely save the team, definitely!
As long as it goes into a penalty shootout, the outcome is fifty-fifty.
Barcelona still has a chance, at least a half chance!
However, just as he was calculating the probability of Barcelona's victory, he saw from the corner of his eye that a blue figure rushed over from Barcelona's half at an extremely fast speed, rushing towards Messi with the ball! Bartomeu's eyes widened! He saw the man's jersey number clearly - No. 10! The person who came was Lin Quan! The fans at the scene were in an uproar! How could this be possible?
How come Lin Quan still has such physical strength at this time?
Is he a monster? "Messi, run!"
"Run! Lin Quan is catching up!"
Seeing Lin Quan running faster and faster and quickly closing the distance between him and Messi, Barcelona fans shouted anxiously.
They wanted to remind Messi to pay attention to the pursuers behind him.
However, the noise on the field was so loud and so loud that the shouts of the few fans could not reach the ears of the players.
Looking at the goal getting closer and closer, Messi finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Next, as long as you dribble the ball into the penalty area and get past the goalkeeper, you can score the goal.
However, I have already used all my strength to run, and I am afraid I don't have enough strength to get past the goalkeeper.
Therefore, the ball cannot be carried for too long, and it must be shot before the goalkeeper reaches a sufficient distance.
Messi had already thought of the next strategy in his mind, but he did not notice that a Manchester City player had caught up to within two meters of him.
Moreover, Lin Quan's speed was getting faster and faster, and the distance between the two was shrinking rapidly.
At this time, Messi finally realized that he was being pursued.
Who is it?
How could he catch up with him so quickly? The first person Messi thought of was Navas, who had just been substituted by Guardiola and was still full of energy, and happened to be on the right wing.
However, when the opponent caught up with him and was running neck and neck with him, Messi's pupils suddenly contracted and he looked at the opponent in disbelief.
The person who came turned out to be Lin Quan, how is this possible?
Lin Quan's appearance was beyond Messi's expectations and completely disrupted his previous plans.
There is still some distance from the goal at this time. If he shoots now, it will be difficult to guarantee his accuracy as his physical strength has seriously declined.
Moreover, if you shoot hastily without time to adjust and with interference from opposing players, your hit rate will not be very high.
But if he continued to move forward, Lin Quan would never give him a chance. He could almost predict how the other party would deal with him next.
If it was at the beginning of the game, Messi would naturally not be afraid of Lin Quan's defense.
The person in the world who can defend him one-on-one has not been born yet!
But now it is the second half of overtime, and Messi has run out of energy. At this time, let alone passing the opponent, he can't even take the ball a few more steps.
So, Messi made up his mind to complete the shot before Lin Quan was completely stuck in position.
However, Lin Quan seemed to have anticipated Messi's move. At the moment Messi shot, he leaned over, blocking part of Messi's shooting angle while using his body to hold up the opponent, making it difficult for him to keep his balance.
Bang! The football flew out from under Messi's feet, and he completed the shot with difficulty before losing his balance.
However, due to exhaustion and imbalance, the shot went wide of the goal frame and failed to hit the goal, so naturally no goal was scored.
There was dead silence at the scene. Barcelona fans were stunned, looking at the flying football and Messi lying on the field in disbelief.
The invincible Messi fell! Messi fell on the grass, a feeling of sadness surged in his heart, and two lines of tears could not help but slide out of the corners of his eyes.
He failed after all! At this moment, he thought of last year's World Cup.
It was this same person who blocked his and the entire nation of Argentina's World Cup dream.
And today, it was the same person who blocked Barcelona's treble achievement.
Is it really impossible for me to defeat him?
At this moment, Messi felt a shadow falling on him.
He opened his eyes and looked at the other person.
He saw Lin Quan standing in front of him and stretched out his hand to him.
"We'll be waiting for you in the finals next year!"
Not much was said, and anything else would be superfluous.
No one is qualified to comfort a gifted child like Messi, and he doesn't need any comfort.
After hearing Lin Quan's words, Messi, who had been desperate and depressed, suddenly felt a strong fighting spirit in his heart.
"Um!"
He grabbed Lin Quan's hand and stood up.
A strong belief emerged in Messi's heart: I must defeat him with my own hands! Countless cameras and video cameras recorded this historic moment. Although no one said it explicitly, everyone knew that this was a ceremony of inheritance between the old and the new.
From this moment on, the number one player in football will be renamed! After Barcelona's desperate counterattack failed, Manchester City began to control the tempo of the game and did not give the opponent any chance to counterattack.
After the injury time ended, the referee blew the whistle to end the game.
In the end, Manchester City defeated Barcelona 4:3 at the Berlin Olympic Stadium and won the Champions League trophy for the second time.
This also makes them the first team to defend the Champions League title since the Champions League was reformed.
Manchester City has thus officially become the fifth top club in the Premier League! (End of this chapter)
