Chapter 688 The Door to Miracles Closes
In his shouts, Royce, who was speeding forward, received a pass from Zhou Yi. He strode forward, dribbling the ball towards Real Madrid's penalty area!
Real Madrid's only defender, Varane, turned and ran towards Royce. Although tall, Varane's speed was not slow at all. His long legs moved quickly as he chased after Royce.
At the same time, Götze ran diagonally from the left wing towards the center, supporting Royce.
The other Real Madrid players also quickly retreated to defend, but not all Real Madrid players returned to participate in the defense. More of them stayed in the frontcourt, waiting for their teammates to intercept the ball and then attack directly. One reason was that they were out of energy, and the other was that they didn't want to lose the opportunity to attack by retreating to defend.
So, in fact, only Varane, Essien, Khedira, and Di Maria returned to defend for Real Madrid.
But four people defending two should be enough, right?
Royce saw that Varane was closing in quickly, and knew that if he continued to dribble the ball, he would probably be forced into a dead end.
He glanced at the center and saw Götze rushing forward. Although he hadn't completely reached his designated position, he had to pass the ball.
If he didn't pass the ball now, he wouldn't be able to pass it out. Even if Götze reached his position later, it would be useless.
※※※
Before Varane could close in, Royce made a horizontal pass, the ball skimming across the grass towards the center!
Varane slid to tackle, but didn't touch the ball!
He could only watch as the ball rolled towards the center, where Götze was rushing forward!
"Royce passes! Götze!!"
Amidst the commentators' exclamations, Götze gritted his teeth and rushed forward, stretching his leg to receive the ball, finally preventing it from passing in front of him...
But the consequence of doing so was that the adjustment required more time.
Khedira had already pounced on him. At this time, Götze was looking down, adjusting the ball, as if he was completely unaware of Khedira.
This was naturally an opportunity to steal the ball. Khedira quickly stretched his foot towards the ball. But Götze, who was looking down, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, and gently flicked the ball behind him with the inside of his left foot, causing Khedira to miss completely.
Then he turned and used the outside of his right foot to push the ball towards the center again.
At this time, Diego López had also come out of his goal.
Facing the onrushing Diego López, Götze drew back his leg and kicked... a chip shot!
"A spoon!!" He Ping shouted excitedly.
The ball soared over Diego López, who was diving forward, and flew towards the goal behind him.
In the eyes of Real Madrid fans, this scene was simply the most terrifying scene in the most terrifying horror movie!
The boos in the Bernabéu stadium had never been so loud, so loud that you couldn't hear any other sounds when you were in it, so loud that you almost had a heart attack.
This was the desperate roar of Real Madrid fans, who seemed to know that their end was near!
After shooting, Götze looked up at the ball, and Diego López, who was lying on the ground, also turned his head to look at the ball in the air.
Time slowed down, the air gradually solidified, and the ball was slowly but stubbornly falling inch by inch. Apart from God and the goalposts, there was nothing that could stop it.
In the ear-piercing boos, the ball grazed the underside of the crossbar and plunged into... the goal!
For a moment, the boos seemed to disappear.
But they soon rang out again, making people wonder if the silence just now was an illusion.
"Mario Götze!!! Super——Mario——!!" Marcel Reif went crazy. "tooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor!! Locking in the victory! The game is over! There's no suspense anymore! 5:3! Even if Real Madrid score two more goals in the remaining time, it's useless!"
"Götze! Great goal! This is completely a goal that extinguished Real Madrid's hope! Dortmund launched a very, very beautiful, textbook-like counterattack when under the greatest pressure!" He Ping was also very excited, he roared excitedly, his voice hoarse. "When Real Madrid desperately wanted to score the third goal, Dortmund seized the gap behind their all-out attack, and Zhou Yi planned a fatal counterattack!"
"Götze...ah! Ah..." The Spanish commentator couldn't hide his disappointment, put his hands on his head, and lay on the commentary desk on the scene, not knowing what to say. A minute ago, he was still immersed in the excitement of being only one goal away from a miracle, and a minute later, he fell from the cloud of happiness into the abyss of hell...
Not only him, the broadcast camera swept over the Real Madrid fans in the stands, and they were all stunned, with their hands on their heads, their faces full of pain and despair.
Such ups and downs were like riding a roller coaster.
It wasn't just the fans, the Real Madrid players on the field also collapsed after this goal. Khedira, who had been chasing back to the penalty area, saw the ball enter the goal after being swayed by Götze, and he fell directly to the ground in pain.
Diego López also lay on the ground, face up to the sky, covering his face with his hands, unwilling to get up.
Those Real Madrid players who stayed in the frontcourt and didn't come back, waiting for their teammates to intercept the ball and launch a counterattack directly, were all stunned.
※※※
After scoring the goal, Götze ran towards Royce, who passed the ball to him. Royce was already waiting for him on the sidelines with open arms. Zhou Yi also ran up, and the other Dortmund players rushed up to celebrate the goal.
They surrounded Götze and celebrated with him.
At this time, the boos of the Bernabéu fans were no different from air to them.
The feeling of celebrating wildly in the enemy's territory was really great.
Of course, in fact, the boos in the Bernabéu sky were much smaller than before. The blow of losing the ball made many Real Madrid fans unable to recover...
Klopp on the sidelines was also celebrating wildly. He hugged everyone around him, with an excited smile on his face. He knew that with this goal, Dortmund's ticket to the final was secure. If Real Madrid wanted to eliminate Dortmund, they had to score two goals in the remaining time to tie the aggregate score and drag the game into extra time. And once the game entered extra time, Klopp firmly believed that it would be more favorable to his team, because their physical fitness was better. This was the result of his years of persistent emphasis on physical fitness.
When the Dortmund players finished celebrating and the others ran back to their own half, Zhou Yi, Royce, and Götze were at the back. They ran back to their own half side by side.
Royce praised Zhou Yi's long pass as too precise. After landing, the speed and posture of the ball allowed him to control it well, with almost no adjustment, and he could just dribble it.
Zhou Yi believed that the main credit for this goal was Royce's timely cross and Götze's hard work to get into position, as well as using a sudden stop feint to get rid of Khedira.
Götze smiled: "I'm just doing my best to do my job."
But no matter who's credit it was, the ball went in, and everyone's hanging heart could finally be put down. This was what made them happiest.
The three of them ran back shoulder to shoulder, smiling.
The TV broadcast gave them a shot, and seeing this scene, Marcel Reif said: "These three people dominated this goal, Zhou Yi initiated, Royce assisted, Götze made a beautiful move to get rid of the defense, and then scored the goal. The cooperation of three geniuses killed Real Madrid. But such a scene may be seen once less for Dortmund fans. After Götze transfers to Bayern Munich next season, this sharp combination will be dismantled..."
Dortmund fans in front of the TV were originally quite happy, but now Marcel Reif's words made their mood drop again.
Yes, if Götze doesn't leave, plus Lewandowski, who is not on the field now, this offensive combination can completely sweep Europe.
Now that I think about it, it makes people feel even more that Hoeness is shrewd. He poached Götze, not only poached a main player from Dortmund, but also shook the foundation of Dortmund's future for ten years.
※※※
After all the Dortmund players returned to their own half, Real Madrid was ready to kick off.
But in fact, the Real Madrid players themselves knew that the door of miracle that they had worked so hard to pry open a crack in, was now closed again. And they no longer had the strength to try a second time...
After the game restarted, Real Madrid actually had no fighting spirit.
Although there were as many as four minutes of stoppage time, everyone could see that the general trend was over.
Although there were still attacks, the momentum was completely different from the kind before Götze's goal.
The pressure on Dortmund's defense was much lighter.
The four minutes of stoppage time passed quickly. When the main referee Webb blew the whistle to end the game, the score did not change again, and it was fixed at 2:1.
Although Real Madrid defeated Dortmund at home, they were still eliminated with a total score of 3:5!
"The game is over! The game is over! Dortmund eliminated Real Madrid and entered the Champions League final again after sixteen years! Congratulations to them!" He Ping was very happy and excited. "In this way, for the first time in the history of the Champions League, a Chinese player will appear on the stage of the final! This is the highest peak of the highest-level and most technical competition in today's football!"
"Dortmund took the lead in entering the final! Now it seems that the hope of German teams meeting in the Champions League final is getting bigger and bigger!" Marcel Reif was also very happy. "Dortmund has been under tremendous pressure in this game, until Götze scored for Dortmund! Entering the final again after sixteen years, this is the victory of Dortmund's youth storm, this is the victory that belongs to young people! And the grievances between Dortmund and Bayern Munich in the league will continue into the Champions League final. Will Bayern Munich achieve the Triple Crown, or will Dortmund become the Double Crown? Let us wait and see in the final!"
The Dortmund substitutes and coaches who had been waiting on the sidelines rushed into the stadium. The head coach Klopp had not yet forgotten to shake hands with Mourinho.
After being eliminated, Mourinho was still considered graceful. As soon as the game ended, he took the initiative to find Klopp to shake hands.
After shaking hands, he turned around and left from the tunnel, not wanting to stay in the stadium for another second.
And Klopp changed his calm and polite demeanor when shaking hands with Mourinho, and rushed into the stadium like a madman with open arms, plunging into the crazy celebration...
On this night, the team he led wrote history!
