Chapter 232
The first half entered the injury time stage.
Due to the chaos in all aspects of the first half, the first-half stoppage time was four minutes.
"This is the last scoring opportunity in the first half! If we can score first in the first half, it will undoubtedly reduce a lot of pressure in the second half!" The commentator said quickly while watching the attack on the field, "Both Real Madrid and Chelsea are seizing every minute and every second!"
"Ronaldo and Benzema pressed forward! The Blues' defense formed a triangle, it was impossible for Ronaldo to break into the penalty area, he was surrounded!" The commentator exclaimed softly, this round of attack by Real Madrid had a threat of being sure to win.
"Benzema had a good view! But Chelsea's defense came up quickly! The opportunity... it was gone in a flash." His partner explained regretfully, he shook his head and looked at Real Madrid as if they had lost a great opportunity to attack.
Cristiano ran to the baseline with the ball at his feet. Facing the defense of several defenders in front of him, he pedaled nimbly and fancy. The defenders in front of him were fooled by him and swayed left and right trying to intercept Cristiano but could not figure out his intention.
"Ronaldo played with the ball at his feet! Chelsea's defenders double-teamed him and restricted his turning and breakthrough!" said the commentator, "Ronaldo should have passed the ball earlier..."
Before he finished speaking, Cristiano suddenly kicked the ball, a beautiful high arc pass straight into the middle of the penalty area!
"Van Nistelrooy made a run forward and got the first point!!!" his partner exclaimed, "Van Nistelrooy raised his foot and shot!! The ball hit the upper right corner of the net!!!"
"Real Madrid scored the first goal in the injury time of the first half!! Assisted by Ronaldo and a powerful shot from Van Nistelrooy, the king of the small penalty area!" the commentator shouted excitedly.
Mourinho also raised his arms and roared on the sidelines, happily hugging the coaching team around him.
As a result, their pressure in the second half was suddenly reduced a lot!
On the other hand, Real Madrid scored a goal in injury time in the first half, which was a huge blow to Chelsea's morale.
After the half-time break, Mourinho returned to the locker room and re-arranged the tactics for the second half, while the commentators in the broadcast room reviewed the highlights of the first half.
Throughout the first half, Chelsea launched three shots at Real Madrid's goal, one of which hit the outside of the net after hitting the diagonal post, and two of the shots on target were perfectly caught by Casillas.
"Look at the only goal in the first half!! Ronaldo was trapped near the baseline by three defenders! But his overall vision was incredibly exquisite! Surrounded by three defensive players, he still saw a transmission route and sent the ball out perfectly!"
"And Van Nistelrooy is still as good as ever. His ability to conceal his shot is excellent. He moved forward very quickly, not giving Chelsea's defense any chance. He found the landing point accurately and shot directly without stopping! He steadily shot the ball into the net!"
"Ronaldo and Van Nistelrooy's cooperation is tacit and their tacit understanding is amazing! They are worthy of being teammates twice. Ronaldo's previous stand up for Van Nistelrooy also proved that the two have a great relationship! In short! Congratulations to Real Madrid for scoring in the first half. Chelsea must seize the time and opportunity in the second half to launch a beautiful counterattack!"
Broadcasting rooms around the world were commenting on the Champions League final, and self-media on social platforms were also flooded with news.
The German sports newspaper was dissatisfied with Chelsea's lack of aggressiveness and failure to present a better level.
In the second half, the two teams changed sides.
Real Madrid's defense was much tighter than in the previous game. It can be seen that Mourinho shifted the focus of tactics to maintaining the results.
Chelsea did play more proactively than in the first half, but Real Madrid's defense should not be underestimated.
Ramos, Pepe and Marcelo cooperated decisively and neatly in the midfield and backcourt. They delivered ammunition to the frontcourt after stealing the ball. However, Chelsea was like an iron wall. The two sides were in a stalemate and no one could change the score again.
In the 88th minute of the game, Chelsea won a corner kick.
After the ball was kicked out, the scramble in front of the goal was like a melee, and Ramos' clearance failed to kick the ball further.
"There's still a chance! Chelsea captain Terry heads the ball into the penalty area again!"
"Drogba shot from a small angle!!"
“The ball goes in!!!”
"Chelsea equalized the score in the final countdown of regular time!!! Terry scored! Drogba scored!! Equalized Real Madrid in the Champions League final!!"
The entire Allianz Arena was boiling with excitement. The Blues fans were screaming and waving flags wildly in the stands, almost choking up.
"Chelsea's tenacious resistance finally saw a glimmer of hope!! The game was dragged into extra time!!"
After a short break, Real Madrid and Chelsea entered another round of overtime.
The starting players of both sides had played the full 100 minutes of the game. Less than ten minutes after the start of the game, the coaches of both sides made personnel adjustments.
In the stands, Ferguson watched the stalemate on the field. He saw Cristiano with his hands on his waist, adjusting his breathing quickly, his face covered with sweat and grass debris - the Portuguese was pulled and fell countless times in this game, and his white jersey had turned gray-green - but he still looked very calm, and was not affected at all by the opponent's goal in regular time.
"Ronnie has a big heart and I think it's beating pretty steadily," Rooney joked. "His expression looks like he's saying, I'm going to score, I'm going to win."
Ferdinand didn't like Rooney's teasing, especially about Cristiano's heart problems, and he kicked Rooney out of nowhere, causing him to yell, "Hey!"
Alan glanced at him, as if to say he deserved it.
Giggs said: "That's Ronnie, that's how he's always been. I think he can do it."
"But to be honest, I think their midfield is a bit messy and Mourinho has used up all his substitutions. On the contrary, Chelsea are getting into the form. I don't see how much chance they have of making a comeback now." Rooney curled his lips.
Ferguson interrupted Rooney and his team's discussion and said, "Shut up. Watch the game."
Rooney shrank his neck and immediately became much quieter, but he still muttered quietly: "Okay, of course, I hope Ronnie can win too."
Anyway, we are not playing in the final with them, so it doesn't matter who gets the trophy. It's better to give it to Ronnie. At least those harsh and picky American fans will stop booing Cristiano.
The overtime also started with a change of sides.
The commentators looked at the situation on the field. Both teams played relatively conservatively.
"The game has entered the real countdown!"
"It looks like this will go to a penalty shootout. The outcome of the penalty shootout is hard to predict!"
"Chelsea and Real Madrid have similar penalty win rates, and both have missed penalties. Although penalty shootouts are cruel, they are also the most exciting and tense moment for fans!"
Just when the commentator was speaking excitedly, the situation on the field suddenly changed. Ramos intercepted the ball in the backcourt and passed it to Kaka.
Kaka immediately took the ball and formed two parallel advancement lines with Cristiano, sprinting quickly towards Chelsea's penalty area. The sudden burst of speed immediately impacted the already exhausted Blues defense!
"The game reached the final extra time, and Kaka and Ronaldo still had incredible burst and speed!!"
"Ronaldo and Kaka's combined threat!! Chelsea's goal should be careful!!"
Kaka passed the ball to Cristiano, and Cristiano took a long shot from outside the penalty area!
The ball is on target! But the goalkeeper anticipated the trajectory of the ball in time, but the kick was so powerful that it slipped out of his hands!
"More!" the commentator exclaimed, "The ball is still in the penalty area! Chelsea defender Torres made a timely clearance! Ramos intercepted the ball! Raul intercepted the ball! A high arc was passed into the penalty area!"
"A white figure flashed by quickly! A heavy header hit the ball! The ball went in--!"
“Who was it!! Who killed the game in the final seconds!!?”
"Ronaldo!! Ronaldo again!!!"
"He actually found the next offensive opportunity in just a few seconds!! He cooperated with his teammates to participate in a new round of offense and scored the winning goal!!"
"Ronaldo finished the game in the last second!! He made the entire Allianz Arena scream for him tonight!!"
The referee blew the whistle to end the game!
Thousands of live broadcasts around the world are going crazy for this moment!
Mourinho rushed into the stadium in disbelief, sliding down excitedly and leaving a long grass mark: "God! This is the Champions League final!! We won!?"
"Cristiano!!"
All the staff in the coaching booth rushed into the field. Cristiano excitedly pulled off his jersey and ran to the west stand.
Ferguson knew that his little Portuguese was very happy. He stood up and applauded Cristiano loudly. Then he saw his teammates pressing on his back one after another. Soon, Cristiano was knocked to the ground by a group of men.
"Cristiano!"
“Oh my God, we won!”
"Long live Real Madrid!!"
Cristiano heard his teammates laughing and screaming with joy in his ears. He grinned and breathed heavily. The moment of winning the game made him feel as if all the strength had been drained from his body.
Fishing = fishing = expedition = raccoon
They won!
He didn't know who kissed his chest first, the hot temperature came through his jersey, and then he felt countless kisses on his body and cheeks. He was pressed on the grass by countless scorching body temperatures, and he didn't know who was rubbing his hair.
"Hey! Who messed up my hair!" he laughed, and then was hugged tightly by the indistinguishable head, and excited kisses fell on his neck, waist and chest.
The entire Allianz Arena sang Real Madrid and Ronaldo!
"Real Madrid finally won the Champions League!! They finally ended the years-long curse of not winning the championship!!"
"This is Ronaldo's first Champions League trophy in his second year at Real Madrid! Ronaldo's glorious time at Real Madrid has just begun!"
