Chapter 518 Defeat Real Madrid and Defend the Championship!
Bell's sudden outburst caught everyone off guard.
Real Madrid fans who had almost resigned themselves to their fate have rekindled their hopes one by one. Zidane kept shouting to the players on the court off the court to cheer them up.
Manchester City also became a little uneasy because of Bell's goal. Some Manchester City fans were so nervous that they almost didn't dare to open their eyes to watch the game, for fear that the team would collapse at the last minute.
On the sidelines, Guardiola was also very nervous.
After Lin Quan was substituted, Manchester City's offensive power dropped significantly, which made him feel a little unsure.
If Real Madrid equalizes the score and drags it into overtime, he feels that Manchester City will lose!
So no matter what, you must hold on to these last few minutes!
Thinking of this, Guardiola shouted to the players on the field, asking them to delay as much time as possible.
At the same time, he asked Fernando to get up and stand on the sidelines, preparing for the final substitution.
Obviously, this substitution is also used to delay time!
Although Bell did not celebrate loudly after scoring, he immediately ran back to the center circle with the football to prepare for the kickoff.
But at this time the game time has reached the third minute of injury time, leaving Real Madrid very little time.
Bell glanced at the time, then at the Manchester City players who were struggling to stand upright for a long time, and felt a little anxious.
He finally saw that these guys were deliberately delaying time.
The referee Clattenberg couldn't stand it any longer. After personally leaving the field and warning several Manchester City players, the latter reluctantly returned to their positions.
Seeing that both sides were ready for kick-off, Clattenberg immediately blew the whistle for Manchester City to kick-off.
There were no surprises. Manchester City chose to pass back immediately after kick-off, intending to control the ball at their feet, not giving Real Madrid a chance to continue attacking, and wasting time with a backcourt pass.
Real Madrid had expected this. When the whistle sounded, the whole team rushed forward like crazy, desperately trying to steal the ball from the feet of the Manchester City players.
The ball quickly passed from Aguero's feet to De Bruyne's feet, and then from De Bruyne's feet to Kante's feet.
When Ronaldo and Benzema both rushed towards Kante, Kante continued to pass back to center back Van Dijk.
Benzema rushed towards Van Dijk fiercely again. As long as he can grab the ball from this position, he can immediately shoot. With luck, he can become the hero who saves the team and helps the team score the key goal to equalize the score. ball!
Facing the aggressive Real Madrid players, Van Dijk was brave and skillful. He stopped and dunked, easily dodged Benzema's attack, and then calmly passed the ball to full-back Zabaleta.
Van Dijk's action caused bursts of exclamations from the fans at the scene:
Faced with the huge pressure of losing the ball if he makes a mistake, he actually dares to play tricks in the backcourt.
Is this kid born to be a big-hearted player?
Compared to the center, there is much more space on the wings and there are fewer opposing players.
When Van Dijk passed the ball, there were no Real Madrid players around Zabaleta.
After Marcelo received a red card and was expelled, Real Madrid had one less player and could not keep an eye on every point of Manchester City.
In addition, the kick-off had just begun and their players had not yet completely crossed the half-court, so Manchester City still had space in the backcourt to pass the ball.
However, this space was quickly gone, because the other party had already swarmed in.
After Zabaleta received the ball, he saw that there were people from the opponent's team around several ball exit points. If he rashly passed the ball to these teammates, he would probably be intercepted.
So, he simply looked at Real Madrid's wing and kicked the ball hard with a clearance-style kick.
Real Madrid's players had all passed halftime at this time, and even goalkeeper Courtois came near the center circle.
At this time, they saw the football flying high above their heads, and everyone was speechless.
This is not the worst. The worst thing is that the opponent's forward Aguero is still running desperately, seemingly trying to grab the ball.
Not only Aguero, but De Bruyne and David Silva and others are also sprinting forward desperately to chase the football.
This made the Real Madrid players couldn't help but become nervous. The flight trajectory of the ball was very high, and it seemed that it was going out of bounds. However, when the ball landed, it was still more than 30 meters away from the baseline on the wing.
After the ball bounced on the ground a few times, it began to roll forward, and its speed became slower and slower.
This ball might really be caught by the opponent before it goes out of bounds. Thinking of this, Danilo and Bell, who were closest to the ball's landing point, quickly returned to defense.
Goalkeeper Courtois planned to control the ball himself, but after running a few steps and realizing something was wrong, he quickly changed direction and ran towards his own goal.
If he doesn't grab the ball and there is no one to defend in front of the goal, the opponent can directly hit the empty goal!
Real Madrid must not concede the ball at this time. Losing the ball means that the suspense of the game is completely gone!
After all, Danilo was only replaced in the second half, and his physical fitness is more abundant than that of several starting players in Manchester City.
He rushed to the bottom line before Aguero and others. However, what was embarrassing was that when he ran to the bottom line, the ball had already slowly gone out of bounds.
And what's worse is that the ball went out of the sideline instead of the baseline.
"Come on throw-in!"
Danilo quickly called his teammates to come over for help. If the bottom line was exceeded, just let the goalkeeper kick it into the frontcourt.
But now this is a sideline ball, and he needs someone to cooperate with him in making free throws. .
Bell and Jese rushed over quickly, but the trio involved in the attack from Manchester City did not retreat back to their own half at this time. It seemed that they wanted to defend their throw-in.
Aguero and others felt that their defensive ability was very poor, and they could not help much if they went back. In addition, they had already consumed a lot of energy from the long-distance attack. At this time, their legs felt like lead. It was so heavy that it was difficult to even run back.
So just stay in the opponent's half, interfere with the opponent as much as possible, and delay time.
Guardiola thought of going with them!
After confirming that the ball went out of bounds, Manchester City immediately made substitutions.
Danilo, who was holding the throw-in ball and was about to throw it to his teammates, held it back and couldn't help but want to curse!
If you don’t change people early, you won’t change people later, but you change people at this time, deliberately trying to delay time, right?
The person who was replaced was none other than Aguero, who was exhausted and had no strength to even walk.
After seeing that he was about to be replaced, Aguero breathed a sigh of relief.
After high-fiving De Bruyne and David Silva next to him, he slowly walked to the sidelines.
At this time, the three of them were in the opponent's half, more than half a court away from their own bench. With his snail-like speed and his habit of high-fiving his teammates when he saw them on the road, the walk probably took several minutes.
Real Madrid fans saw Aguero trying to delay time, and they all booed crazily. For a while, the whole stadium was booed.
"Referee, that guy is deliberately delaying time!"
Real Madrid players were very dissatisfied with Aguero's behavior and ran to Clattenburg to protest.
Clattenburg couldn't stand it anymore. This was the Champions League final, and there were probably hundreds of millions of people around the world watching the live broadcast of this game.
On this occasion, facing Aguero who deliberately delayed time, it would be somewhat inappropriate for him to take no action.
So, Clattenburg showed no mercy, ran to Aguero and showed him a yellow card.
Aguero was secretly happy: he could delay it for a little longer.
But he pretended to be in disbelief and was stunned, spreading his hands out: LeBron James said:
Referee, I am innocent, why did you give me a yellow card?
According to the rules, when a yellow card is shown, the reason for the card needs to be explained to the player.
So Clattenberg said to Aguero expressionlessly:
"Sergio, if you want to leave the game, you can leave from the sideline just now. There is no need to cross the entire court like this and deliberately delay the time. According to the regulations, I can show you a yellow card to warn you. If you continue to delay the time, I will continue to show the yellow card. , you will be punished."
Aguero didn't mean to question the referee. He just took this opportunity to chat with the referee and delay it for a while!
After hearing Clattenberg's explanation, Aguero said with a smile:
"So that's it. If you had told me earlier, I would have run away!"
After saying that, he pretended to be cooperative and started to trot away.
Although he was running, his speed was not much faster than before.
The boos at the scene became even louder, and Real Madrid players even protested.
Clattenburg had a dark look on his face, but seeing that Aguero was close to leaving the field, he finally resisted the urge to get another yellow card.
After Aguero high-fived Fernando, who came on as a substitute, the latter came on.
Unlike the slow Aguero, after Fernando came on the field, he rushed to the court at almost a hundred meters sprint speed.
From the moment he came on, the substitution was complete.
Real Madrid players naturally threw the foul ball in immediately.
Real Madrid obviously wanted to take advantage of the opponent's newcomers before they could get into position and launch a quick attack.
At this time, the injury time has reached 93:40 seconds, and there are only 20 seconds left before the end of the game!
There may be only one chance left for Real Madrid to attack!
The throw-in was kicked out and Bell received the ball due to interference from De Bruyne.
He quickly passed it to his teammates, turned around and wanted to rush forward.
As a result, I suddenly felt a cold feeling in my crotch, and then I heard the referee's whistle.
Bell took a closer look and saw that his shorts had been pulled off at some point.
Looking back, I saw De Bruyne, who had fallen to the ground with a red face. He was a little embarrassed and apologized to him again and again, with a very sincere attitude.
De Bruyne wanted to reach out and grab Bale's jersey, but Bale ran too fast. He originally wanted to grab the shirt, but unexpectedly he touched the shorts. When he was about to let go, Bale took them off as soon as he ran. .
Bell was speechless, but seeing the sincere look on the other party's face, it was really hard to get angry.
Regardless of whether the other party did it intentionally or accidentally, Clattenburg directly gave De Bruyne a topaz card as punishment for his indecent behavior just now.
There were many female fans at the scene. How indecent such behavior was!
On the sidelines, Lin Quan and other Manchester City fans on the bench couldn't help laughing after seeing this scene.
I never expected that De Bruyne would do such a thing!
So you are like this Kevin!
Real Madrid's backcourt free kick was too far from the goal to be shot directly.
So they chose to serve quickly and pass the ball directly to Modric, who then passed it to Bell, allowing Bell to give full play to his speed advantage, attack with the ball, and tear apart Manchester City's defense!
At this time, the time has reached 94:50 seconds, and the injury time has been exhausted, even exceeding the fifty seconds.
However, Clattenburg had no intention of blowing the whistle and obviously wanted Real Madrid to complete the attack.
Bell was the target of Manchester City's focus. After Bell dribbled the ball past half-time, all three of Manchester City's frontcourt rushed towards him and surrounded him in a vertical formation.
Among the three, David Silva and De Bruyne do not pose much of a threat, but Fernando, who has just been replaced, is not so easy to deal with.
Although Bell looks aggressive, he has actually lost his strength due to the huge consumption of playing for more than 90 minutes.
He squeezed past De Bruyne and used his speed to get rid of David Silva, but he couldn't get rid of Fernando.
The two were neck and neck, but Fernando was stuck on the inside, not giving him a chance to cut in and shoot. He kept using his body to carry Bell, trying to make him lose his balance and destroy the attack!
If it were an ordinary person, under such intense physical confrontation, he would have lost his balance and been knocked away, losing the ball.
However, Bell gritted his teeth and persisted!
All the Real Madrid fans in the stands couldn't help but stand up. Everyone couldn't help but sweat for Bell in their hearts:
Bell, you must hold on, Real Madrid's last hope depends on you!
Bell felt that he had lost his speed and was unable to use his famous trick of overtaking in corners to throw away defenders.
Thinking of this, Bell immediately made a decision to pass the ball out and let his teammates complete the attack.
He used all his strength to withstand Fernando's collision and struggled to pass the ball to the center.
After completing the pass, Bell fell to the lawn, but his eyes were still staring at the flying ball:
Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, the rest is up to you!
Seeing the flight path of the football, Ronaldo relied on the intuition of a top shooter to immediately determine where the ball would land.
He struggled to get rid of the defensive player, jumped high with all his strength, and wanted to use his best header to head the ball in!
Let me in!
Ronaldo roared angrily and hit the ball hard with his head.
However, just when he was about to hit the ball, a tall figure appeared in the air and hit the ball first!
Van Dyke!
Manchester City's defender made a key clearance at a critical moment, destroying Ronaldo's great opportunity!
However, this is not over yet, the ball that was cleared was caught by the Real Madrid players on the outside!
Modric hit the flying ball with a volley!
The football flew back into the penalty area and towards Manchester City's goal.
However, just before the ball was about to cross the goal line, a pair of strong hands appeared in front of it and stopped it!
Navas has made a contribution!
His save not only saved Real Madrid's goal, but also completely extinguished Real Madrid's dream of winning the championship!
In the stands, countless Real Madrid fans couldn't help but sigh and shed tears when they saw this scene.
They know that the team's Champions League journey is completely over.
On the other side, when the Manchester City fans saw Navas save the ball steadily, they started to celebrate wildly with singing and dancing.
we are the champion!
We are champions again!
We are always champions!
The game time ran out and Real Madrid players had given up resistance. When Navas kicked the ball out, Clattenberg blew the whistle to end the game before the ball hit the ground.
The 2015-2016 Champions League final also came to an end, and the final champion was-Manchester City!
The defending champion defeated Galaxy Battleship with a score of 4:3, once again stood on the championship podium, and achieved an incredible three consecutive championships!
