When Zhou Yi passed the football to Lewandowski, everyone's attention and vision followed the football to Lewandowski's feet. Not many people continued to stare at Zhou Yi. If Lewandowski then passed the ball back to Zhou Yi, it would remind everyone that Zhou Yi's role in this attack was very important, which would be equivalent to attracting defensive firepower for Zhou Yi.

But Lewandowski didn't do that. After receiving Zhou Yi's ball, he passed the football to Kagawa Shinji without even looking at Zhou Yi.

Kagawa Shinji also didn't pass the football to Zhou Yi, but to Götze.

In this way, the football was getting farther and farther away from Zhou Yi, and everyone's attention to Zhou Yi was getting less and less. More people were closely watching Götze, who had the ball, and Lewandowski, who was very active in the penalty area.

With Dortmund's attack reaching the AC Milan goal, creating a tense atmosphere, no one would remember to pay extra attention to Zhou Yi.

But just when everyone was about to forget him, he reappeared in everyone's field of vision.

Facing the football, he swung his right foot.

It looked like he was going to shoot the football towards the near corner of the goal, but just as the football was about to roll in front of him, he suddenly twisted his hips and pushed out with his right foot. The football flew towards the far corner!

Abbiati couldn't save it in time and could only watch the football fly towards the far corner.

Now, the only thing he could do was pray to God, hoping that the football would be rejected by the goalpost, or simply go wide.

But this time, God didn't hear his heartfelt prayer. The football grazed the far post and flew into the goal!

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi!" He Ping shouted excitedly. "Dortmund leads AC Milan 3-0!"

"tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor!!!" Marcel Reif roared, elongating the sound. After taking a breath, he continued to shout: "tooor! tooor! tor! tor! tor! tor!!! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi!!"

The Westfalenstadion was like an erupting volcano. Everyone jumped up and cheered, waving their arms as if yellow and black magma was flowing down from the crater, ready to cover everything and burn everything to ashes.

"On aggregate, Dortmund leads 4-3!!"

After scoring, Zhou Yi turned around and ran straight into Götze, who put his arms around him and then leaned back, knocking him to the ground.

Other enthusiastic teammates swarmed up and piled on top of Zhou Yi.

Once again, Zhou Yi had saved Dortmund.

"Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi! Zhou Yi!!" On the stands, all that could be heard were the deafening cheers of the Dortmund fans.

Without deliberately trying to keep quiet, these cheers could be heard clearly through the television signal.

Every Chinese viewer and fan in front of the television, standing there listening to the uniform shouts coming from the TV, could clearly hear the Germans shouting Zhou Yi's name.

This scene was truly shocking to many Chinese fans.

A Chinese player's name being shouted by so many foreigners, their accented pronunciation sounding strange, but not at all comical, instead inspiring awe.

This was the power of football, transcending nationality, allowing a Chinese man to become the most popular VIP in the Westfalenstadion.

A sense of national pride surged through everyone's chest, making them feel a mix of joy and emotion at Zhou Yi's goal.

"I think everyone must still remember the first leg of the match, right? In the first half, Dortmund fell behind by three goals... But now, how similar is this scene? In Dortmund's home stadium, they also scored three goals against AC Milan in the first half!" Marcel Reif said excitedly and proudly. "AC Milan said they wanted revenge. I think after this game, the goal of revenge has not been achieved, and I'm afraid new grudges will be added..."

Dortmund, who had been dejected at the San Siro stadium, seemed to have been resurrected with full health and status after returning to their home stadium.

Zhou Yi's goal came in the forty-third minute of the first half.

Not long after Dortmund scored, the first half ended.

As the players from both sides retreated, the Dortmund players had smiles on their faces, while the AC Milan players looked dazed. They were completely stunned by Zhou Yi's goal. They had finally managed to boost their morale and were planning to counterattack, but Zhou Yi scored a goal, extinguishing all the fighting spirit they had just ignited...

Although they had panicked before when they were behind, when they conceded the third goal, it was more than just panic.

The expressions of the players from the two teams as they left the field formed a stark contrast, which reminded people of the situation during the first leg of the match between the two sides, only reversed.

During the half-time break, in the locker room, Klopp did not praise the players' performance, but repeatedly emphasized the importance of the second half, urging the players to remain vigilant and not be too optimistic.

They had a good lesson from the past, which was AC Milan in the first leg. They started to relax and become careless after taking a three-goal lead in the first half, which resulted in Zhou Yi scoring a crucial away goal in the second half. Without this away goal, the psychological state of the two sides at the start of this second leg would definitely have been different. At the very least, Dortmund would definitely not have been so motivated.

Speaking of which, AC Milan seemed to be very good at being blindly optimistic when leading by three goals. The same was true in the 2003-2004 season against Deportivo La Coruña in the knockout stage. They led Deportivo La Coruña 4-1 in the first leg, but in the second leg, they were thrashed 3-0 away, and they were eliminated by Deportivo La Coruña thanks to a single away goal advantage. The most famous example was the Miracle of Istanbul in 2005. AC Milan led Liverpool by three goals in the first half, and they opened the champagne in advance during the half-time break, using up all their good luck. In the second half, Liverpool scored three goals in a row, and in the end, in the penalty shootout, AC Milan, whose morale had collapsed, lost to Liverpool...

Dortmund couldn't repeat AC Milan's mistakes, otherwise, they would be a million times more stupid than AC Milan.

After the second half started, the two sides switched sides and fought again.

Dortmund really didn't let their guard down at all. They used excellent overall ball control and tenacious defense to block AC Milan's increasingly frantic counterattack.

Despite the fact that AC Milan used up all three substitution slots in a very short period of time in the second half.

But it was all in vain.

Until the very end, AC Milan was unable to break through Dortmund's goal. Although they only needed one more goal to take the game into extra time, this goal seemed to become out of reach.

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Dortmund's substitutes rushed onto the field and celebrated the hard-won victory with their teammates on the field.

And some AC Milan players collapsed to the ground, not expecting to be eliminated after having had all the advantages...

"The game is over! Congratulations to Dortmund! They eliminated AC Milan with a total score of 4-3! They have reached the Champions League quarter-finals for the second consecutive season!" Marcel Reif said.

The Westfalenstadion erupted in huge cheers when the whistle blew, cheering for the team's amazing comeback and advancement to the top eight.

After giving a panoramic view, the television broadcast camera was almost locked on Zhou Yi.

"The best player in this game is of course Zhou Yi, who had one assist and one goal. If it weren't for him, how could Dortmund have ultimately reversed and eliminated AC Milan? It should be known that this reversal was foreshadowed after Zhou Yi scored in the previous leg!"

In the camera, Zhou Yi was hugging and celebrating with his teammates, and smiles were on everyone's faces.

Finally, almost all of Dortmund's players surrounded Zhou Yi, hugging him, cheering, and celebrating the goal with him.

This scene fully illustrates Zhou Yi's status in Dortmund.

After the game, Zhou Yi was interviewed by reporters in the mixed zone. He mentioned this victory, but he didn't think it was all his own credit: "In any game, regardless of the result, it is obtained by the whole team together, so the victory is not my own credit, and I only scored one goal. I am very happy, very happy, to be able to reverse and eliminate AC Milan at home."

A reporter asked him: "Who do you hope to meet in the quarter-finals?"

Zhou Yi shook his head: "It doesn't matter who it is."

At this time, he didn't want to think about the disappointing question of who the quarter-final opponent would be. Since they had won by reversing the situation, they should celebrate properly.

At the post-match press conference, Allegri denied that the game was caused by his improper tactical arrangements: "There is no problem with my tactics. We came here with the determination to win. But there are always many accidents in football games, and this game was an accident..."

He refused to answer the questions from the Italian reporters who were questioning him.

But the Italian reporters were obviously unwilling to let him go so easily, because AC Milan, after leading 3-1 in the first leg, was actually eliminated in the away game, which was really unacceptable...

They insisted on questioning Allegri's tactical arrangements, while Allegri refused to admit that there was a problem with his arrangements, and the two sides were stuck like this.

In the end, the post-match press conference he attended broke up unhappily.

On the other hand, the atmosphere at Klopp's press conference was one of joy and harmony.

"I am proud and proud of the performance of the lads, they were all great. It's great that we were able to break into the top eight in an unfavorable situation."

When he said this, Klopp grinned and smiled happily.
