Chapter 212 The Final Winner, a Thrilling Penalty Shootout!

After a period of adjustment, the players of both sides sorted out their mood and walked from the player tunnel to the green field of the Bernabeu again.

After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, both sides had reached their physical strength. When they appeared on the court again, several new faces could be seen.

It seems that both sides made substitutions!

On the Real Madrid side, Modric was finally substituted off the court. In the locker room, he gradually felt that his leg and knee were in unbearable pain and he could hardly play.

In this case, even if Zidane let Modric play, he knew in his heart that it was also a burden on the team.

Just like the last time when he had severe pain in his legs, Sterling of the opponent seized the opportunity and scored a goal.

If he hadn't made a mistake, the game should have been over now.

But there are not so many ifs in football. Modric also admitted the current facts, so he took the initiative to tell Zidane that his legs seemed to be injured and asked to be substituted off the court.

Zidane also nodded and accepted and made substitutions.

Toni Kroos replaced Modric and played in overtime.

In this 30-minute competition, the responsibility of midfield defense was completely handed over to Bai Ran.

On the other side, Kompany was replaced and their high-level defender Mangala came on the bench.

The technical characteristics of this player are also very distinct. As a tall and strong central defender, his physical fitness is even better than Kompany's.

His strength and defense are very fierce, while Kompany is fierce with a lot of skills.

In comparison, Mangala's passing and dribbling seem to be more lagging.

The two sides played again in overtime, and the players on both sides showed different degrees of fatigue.

After all, this is a strong dialogue. Every player is trying his best on the field. During the 90-minute game, they worked very hard, which also led to the entry of overtime. Both sides had little physical strength.

In the 96th minute of the game, De Bruyne made a fine through ball. After Aguero inserted from the back, he had no time to make a subsequent breakthrough and directly kicked a violent shot.

The ball did not pose a threat and was directly collected by Navas.

Real Madrid also attacked. In the 103rd minute of the game, Bai Ran started to attack from the middle. A long pass tore through Manchester City's defense line. Ronaldo dribbled the ball from the left and faced the opponent's defender. He passed the ball to Bai Ran who came to join.

After receiving the ball, Bai Ran shot it straight at the front of his foot without hesitation!

The ball was powerful! But it was a pity that it was a little high and hit the crossbar and bounced out!

This goal made all Manchester City players sweat. This kid was too active on the court!

Even in overtime, Bai Ran was the one who could pose a great threat to Manchester City.

The players on both sides looked a little pale. In the first half of the overtime, both sides drew and no goals were scored.

The second half is about to start. Whoever scores a goal first will have the absolute initiative to advance!

At this time, even Sterling, who came on as a substitute, was a little out of breath.

Toni Kroos passed the ball to Benzema in the middle, and after Benzema passed it back to Bai Ran, Bai Ran dodged past Mangala.

The high-school defender's skills were not very useful. Although he was physically very strong, he was a little clumsy and was easily passed by Bai Ran.

Facing the opponent's goal, Bai Ran chose to pass the ball to Ronaldo who was in a better position!

Ronaldo kicked and shot the ball into the far corner of the goal!

The ball just slipped a little!

What a pity, if this ball had gone in, Real Madrid would have been relieved!

In the 113th minute of the game, Manchester City once again made a ground pass counterattack. Fernando in the backcourt made a low pass and found Sterling on the wing. Sterling dribbled the ball down at high speed. Facing the iron wall of Real Madrid, he chose to pass it directly to Yaya Toure in front.

Toure volleyed from the outside of the penalty area, a long shot!

The ball hit the post with a bang!

Every minute and every second in the second half, all the goalkeepers were involuntarily moved!

Finally, when the game reached the 120th minute, the referee blew the whistle to end the game!

Real Madrid vs. Manchester City, this game lasted 120 minutes, but there was still no winner.

The players of both teams have begun to sweat. With such a huge amount of exercise, they probably need to rest for a few days.

And who will advance to the Champions League final, the next drama will be a daunting one for everyone.

Penalty shootout!

This is the cruelest thing on the court, and it is also the most thrilling. Many famous scenes of penalty shootouts have been talked about by fans so far and have become a good story in football.

There were no goals in the overtime, which made the mood of both sides a little complicated. They could not be happy, nor were they too disappointed.

Next is the time to compete for luck.

The players of both sides and the head coach gathered in a circle to discuss the tactical arrangements for the penalty shootout.

On Zidane's side, the Real Madrid players came over to listen to his instructions.

"First ball, Cristiano, you take the penalty."

Ronaldo looked calm and nodded.

"Second, Benzema."

"Third, Kroos."

"Fourth, Isco."

"Fifth, Bai Ran."

When Bai Ran heard that his name was placed fifth, he felt mixed emotions.

As we all know, in a penalty shootout, the fifth and first order are often the most important, and they are the most challenging for a player's mental quality.

As a rookie in Real Madrid, Bai Ran, who has only been here for half a year, was entrusted with an important task by the head coach at the age of 17.

It seems that Zidane's trust in him has reached the extreme.

Modric on the sidelines also staggered over to cheer Bai Ran up.

The two hugged each other, and Modric whispered in Bai Ran's ear: "Relax."

"You played very well, you will definitely score a goal, don't be nervous, calm down."

At this time, calmness is the most important quality of a player.

The time to test the players' mental attributes is coming soon.

After 120 minutes of fierce battle, no one wants to lose this game.

Some players even had twitching calves, and their extremely tired bodies didn't know if they could complete this crucial shot.

Both sides arranged their own tactics, and the penalty shootout finally began!

Manchester City took the first penalty kick.

The first player to be sent on the field was the team's top striker and star player Aguero.

The Argentine put the ball on the penalty spot, with a hint of nervousness in his brows.

Navas put on his gloves and wandered on the goal line, observing the eyes of the opposing players, trying to relax himself!

On the center line of the center circle, the players of the two teams supported each other, and everyone was concentrating on the situation of the goal, and they were extremely nervous!

The referee blew the whistle and the penalty kick began!

Aguero took a run-up - shot!

Navas misjudged the direction and pounced on the left, while Aguero's shot hit the right steadily, and Manchester City scored a goal!

After scoring, Aguero was not too excited, but just pointed his hands to the sky, muttered something, and slowly ran to the center circle.

On the other side, it was Joe Hart's turn to guard the goal. The first penalty kick for Real Madrid was Ronaldo!

Can this battle-hardened football legend score the goal?

Ronaldo took two steps forward and then kicked the ball!

In one go! No problem!

Although Joe Hart judged the direction correctly, the ball was very fast and the angle was good, but he still failed to save the ball.

1-1!

Ronaldo roared loudly, venting his emotions!

On to the second goal! De Bruyne took the penalty for Manchester City.

Navas shook his head left and right, hoping for better luck.

And De Bruyne aimed at the goalkeeper's left and kicked the ball!

Sure enough, his ball hit the goalkeeper's right side. This deceptive action could not fool Navas!

Navas flew to his left and directly saved the shot!

Steady!

Beautiful!

The teammates in the center circle shouted one after another, their mood was too surging!

The second goal, Real Madrid's side was Benzema!

Benzema faced Joe Hart, took two steps sideways, then slowly stepped forward and kicked the ball!

The ball went into a ten-point corner, Benzema was very keen on the angle!

He shot the ball to the upper left corner, Joe Hart had no way to save it at such a close distance!

Real Madrid was 2-1 at this time, leading by one goal!

The third penalty kick was taken by Yaya Toure on Manchester City's side.

With his teammates making mistakes, Toure's pressure became more serious. Facing goalkeeper Navas, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he kicked the ball - shot!

Ah! Toure slipped and fell directly on the green!

The ball was of course a weak shot, easily caught by Navas!

Navas cheered wildly! He had already blocked Manchester City's shot twice!

Toure was under too much pressure, which led to the final nervous mistake!

This mistake was too fatal!

The third player sent by Real Madrid was German midfielder Toni Kroos!

He has a lot of experience in the game, so this kind of scene shouldn't be a big problem for him.

Kroos was calm and composed, with a very calm expression.

He started to run up and shoot!

The ball was not fast, but unfortunately Joe Hart misjudged the direction!

Kroos shot to the left side of the goal, while Joe Hart rushed to the right, and the ball went into the net!

Real Madrid temporarily led the opponent 3-1!

For the fourth goal, Manchester City sent Sterling.

As a young player, Sterling also stepped into the penalty shootout of the Champions League for the first time.

He lifted his hips, swung his hands like a flower, and then came to the front of the goal and shot!

The ball hit the lower right corner of the goal. Although Navas judged the direction correctly, he jumped high, and he couldn't touch this kind of ground ball.

Then, it was another penalty kick for Real Madrid.

If this ball is scored, the game will end immediately!

All the pressure was placed on Isco.

Real Madrid is currently leading 3-2. If he scores this goal, Real Madrid will only have one penalty kick left when the score is 4-2, and Manchester City's chance will no longer exist!

He kissed the ball and put it on the penalty spot.

Fans around the world are watching this penalty kick!

Isco tried to relax his mentality and then kicked the ball!

Oh my God! Isco actually missed the ball himself!

Although Joe Hart judged the direction correctly, the ball did not hit the goal frame!

The ball rubbed the upper left corner of the crossbar and flew out!

Just a hair’s breadth! They have already advanced to the finals!

What a pity!

But none of his teammates blamed him. After conceding the ball, he covered his face and blamed himself, but he received care and encouragement from his teammates.

With the next goal, the pressure on Manchester City was also full.

If they miss this ball, Real Madrid can still win.

Standing in front of the penalty spot is Manchester City's Fernandinho!

Navas watched his movements intently, swaying his steps left and right!

Fernandinho takes a run-up and calmly pushes!

Navas stood in the middle of the goal and did not have time to react. The ball had already rolled into the lower left corner of the goal!

The goal was scored!

The suspense of the game was once again brought back.

Now Real Madrid is 3-3!

The score came to a draw.

On the fifth free throw, Real Madrid's Bai Ran took the penalty!

If this ball is missed, the two sides will enter the penalty shootout in the next round again!

Bai Ran was also under great psychological pressure!

He must score this goal and lead Real Madrid to the final!

Stepping on the white dragon, Bai Ran resolutely stepped onto this field.

Before the twelve-yard penalty kick, Bai Ran's hair was flying in the wind.

The breeze blowing gently at the Bernabeu seemed to be telling a long story.

The fans in the stands all had their hearts in their throats.

Zidane also had goosebumps all over his body. During this critical period, many fans even cried.

Bai Ran must come in!

Zidane placed Bai Ran in this position because he wanted him to be the savior at the critical moment or score the game-killing goal.

If the penalty shootout ended early, Bai Ran wouldn't have to bear so much.

But now it seems that the burden falls on the shoulders of the 17-year-old boy.

Modric was also silently cheering for Bai Ran on the sidelines!

Bai Ran let out a long breath, and the referee's whistle finally sounded!

He started to run, took two steps forward, and stepped heavily on the ground with his sneakers, full of intimidation!

Joe Hart didn't dare to lose his mind for a moment, this was a penalty that decided the life or death of both teams!

Uh-huh!

Bai Ran took a shot and the ball flew across the sky and towards the upper right corner of the goal!

Joe Hart saw the path of the ball and jumped into the air!

And the ball passed Joe Hart's fingertips lightly and fell into the net!

The ball went in! !

Goal! ! !

Bai Ran scored a penalty that killed Manchester City. Real Madrid finally advanced to the Champions League final with a 4-3 penalty advantage!

What a magical game, what a magical reversal again and again!

The commentator was also extremely excited!

"The goal went in!"

"Bai Ran scored the penalty steadily, which means Real Madrid won this game perfectly!"

"They experienced a narrow escape, and after 120 minutes of fierce battle, they came to the penalty shootout. Everyone had a worried look on their face, but at this moment, they can smile and enjoy the joy of victory!"

"Since the first round, this Real Madrid team has not been favored by most people. The competition in the Premier League is so fierce. The fact that the Blue Moon Army can stand out is enough to prove its strength!"

"In fact, many fans are optimistic about Manchester City today, and we have also seen that although the venue is the home stadium of the Bernabeu, there are not many Manchester City fans coming."

"But they got through all the way. First, they tied Manchester City 3-3 at home in the first round. With the outstanding performance of the talented midfielder Bai Ran, they scored a valuable away goal."

"After that, in the second round, Bai Ran contributed two goals and one assist, helping Real Madrid kill the suspense of this game!"

"Even the final winning goal was made by Bai Ran himself!"

"What an amazing story and what a great game!"

"Let us congratulate Real Madrid for winning this focal point!"

"At the same time, let us also wish Manchester City well. They are an indispensable part of the new generation of football. I believe they will have many opportunities in the future to compete for the championship trophy at the top of Europe!"

"Congratulations to Real Madrid for advancing to the Champions League final!"

Fans poured into the stadium crazily to celebrate with the players!

The Manchester City players lost their fighting spirit and collapsed on the ground, while Sterling shed tears.

Otamendi sat on the ground, looking up at the Bernabeu ceiling.

Is this Real Madrid still beyond their reach?

No! It's Bai Ran!

It's that Asian guy!

In these two games, Bai Ran's performance directly drove Real Madrid!

They lost to Real Madrid, but they also lost to Bai Ran!

17 years old, such a young and ignorant age, and Bai Ran was already standing in front of them, forming a huge gap that was insurmountable!

Bai Ran was so excited that he and his teammates gathered together to celebrate the victory!

Real Madrid has now advanced to the Champions League final, and they will have the final Champions League showdown among the winners between Atletico Madrid and Bayern!

The game is over, but the football journey continues. The Blue Moon Legion will definitely regroup and fight again next year.

Real Madrid is about to usher in Europe's peak showdown, and they must prepare well.

After the game, Zidane, as the head coach of the winning team, was also invited to the press conference to accept media interviews.

The reporter was enthusiastic and asked: "Mr. Zidane, what do you think of this game?"

Zidane also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a little bit of a life-saving experience.

"Huh! This is not an easy game."

"Manchester City's lineup is very luxurious, and it gave us a lot of trouble in the 90-minute official game."

"Their attack is very sharp, but fortunately our team withstood the pressure."

"In terms of midfield control, the opponent was better in this game, but the ability to seize opportunities was slightly lacking. I think there was also some luck involved, and our goalkeeper also played at his best."

"In short, this was a wonderful match, and the fans enjoyed a great game."
