Robben's one-on-one, though unsuccessful, greatly boosted the morale of Bayern Munich. Consequently, they became more aggressive in attack, hoping to take the lead.

But Borussia Dortmund was not to be trifled with.

In the thirty-fifth minute, Bayern Munich attempted to build an attack from their own half.

Alaba, with the ball in the backfield, dribbled forward. As he approached the midfield line, he was challenged by Dortmund's Reus. He attempted a wall pass with Ribéry on the wing, intending to break through Reus's defense.

However, Ribéry's return pass was slightly too strong, and Alaba failed to control it, pushing the ball several meters ahead of him, right into Reus's path!

Alarmed, Alaba lunged at Reus, trying to poke the ball away first, but Reus was faster, knocking the ball forward, leaving Alaba grasping at air!

The recipient of Reus's pass was Zhou Yi, positioned in the attacking half-space. He let the ball run, completed a turn, and dribbled forward, launching a counterattack for Borussia Dortmund!

Although Dortmund had fewer players in the attacking third than Bayern Munich, Zhou Yi remained calm. He didn't rush a pass but waited for an opportunity while dribbling.

Sure enough, his dribbling attracted four Bayern Munich players, leaving only Bayern's center-back Boateng trailing behind.

Lewandowski made a diagonal run, positioning himself in front of Boateng. Zhou Yi seized the moment, releasing the ball from his feet, sending it through the encirclement and into the open space in the penalty area!

Lewandowski accelerated past Boateng, received the ball, and then took another touch!

This touch pushed Boateng behind him!

"Lewandowski's one-on-one!"

But Lewandowski's touch was a bit too heavy. As he chased after the ball, Neuer decisively charged out of his goal, sliding horizontally, a move that sacrificed balance but maximized defensive coverage.

By the time Lewandowski caught up with the ball, it was difficult to make any other shooting motion. He could only poke it ahead, pinning all his hopes on the ball squeezing through the space under Neuer as he slid out...

But there was no space. After Lewandowski poked the ball, it crashed into Neuer's body and rebounded.

It landed right at the feet of Alaba, who had tracked back.

Alaba quickly turned and passed the ball forward, finally breathing a sigh of relief—that was close; it was his mistake, and if it had led to a goal, he would have been the culprit!

Fortunately, Neuer was as reliable as ever.

"It's Neuer again!"

"Neuer's timely intervention keeps the goal intact!"

"Zhou Yi has created numerous opportunities for his teammates, but they are unable to breach Neuer's goal!"

Lewandowski spread his hands, looking helpless.

Zhou Yi also shook his head slightly. Since the start of the match, Dortmund had clearly been in the ascendancy, with so many golden opportunities, and even one goal would have put them ahead. Yet, they hadn't scored...

But was it that his teammates hadn't performed well enough?

Zhou Yi didn't think so.

It seemed Neuer was in excellent form today...

This was the scenario Zhou Yi feared most in virtual matches—his side dominating, but the opponent's goalkeeper playing like he was cheating, repeatedly thwarting every attack. Then, his own team's morale would slowly be eroded by the repeated failures, ultimately leading to the opponent snatching victory with a single counterattack...

A goalkeeper on a hot streak was the most unsolvable problem, one that even Zhou Yi couldn't fix. Just like when Dortmund challenged Atletico Madrid away, facing Sun Pan, who seemed to be cheating, they couldn't break down Atletico Madrid's goal no matter how they attacked, and they had to leave Madrid with a 0-0 draw. Then they had to fight to the death in their home stadium, and if they hadn't scored in the final stage, the whole Dortmund team might have been eliminated in the quarterfinals, how could they have reached the Champions League final?

He was now worried that Dortmund's relentless offensive would actually bring out the best in Neuer, which would be disastrous.

But to stop shooting because of this was obviously impossible.

※※※

Dortmund's attack threatened Bayern Munich's goal, and Bayern Munich quickly retaliated.

Schweinsteiger unleashed a surprise long shot from outside the box, the ball skimming along the grass towards the bottom right corner of the goal. Weidenfeller, as if sliding on the turf, barely managed to push the ball wide with his fingertips...

From the ensuing corner, Thomas Müller's header narrowly missed the far post.

In the forty-first minute, Dortmund launched an attack from the right wing. Piszczek played a wall pass with Zhou Yi on the wing and then burst into the thirty-meter zone, before sending a through ball to Reus, who had moved into the half-space.

Reus accelerated to chase the ball, with Javi Martínez desperately chasing inside him, trying not to let Reus get completely away.

His efforts paid off. Since he hadn't completely shaken off his defender, Reus had to force a shot from a tight angle after catching up with the ball!

The ball ultimately went wide of the side netting.

Reus, sitting on the ground, shook his head at the result, while Klopp on the sidelines vigorously applauded his players.

Repeated attacks without a goal were indeed likely to lead to a drop in morale.

The players weren't stupid; they knew that they hadn't seized so many opportunities and would worry that after the opponents had a chance to breathe, they might threaten their goal in return, leading to a goal conceded.

Their worries were by no means unfounded.

One minute later, in the forty-third minute, Bayern Munich's center-back Dante, with the ball in the backfield, looked up and, instead of choosing to build up with short passes, launched a long ball directly, the ball flying almost the entire length of the pitch, all the way to the edge of Dortmund's penalty area!

The ball, like a cruise missile, accurately found Robben, who was sprinting ahead!

Of course, Robben wasn't unmarked; Hummels was retreating nearby.

However, unlike Robben, who was running towards the attacking direction, Hummels was defending while moving backward, which was his disadvantage.

So when he jumped to try and win the header, he didn't connect with the ball!

He missed it!

However, Robben also failed to control the ball properly. Because Hummels had interfered, the ball hit his shoulder and bounced back.

The rebounding ball then inadvertently struck Hummels' back, who had just landed, and flew back again, landing in front of Robben!

A heaven-sent opportunity!

Bayern Munich fans in the stands cheered.

Robben abruptly stopped and half-turned, swinging his leg to shoot!

He hadn't seen the situation in front of him at all, but it would be too late to observe now!

So he didn't see that Weidenfeller had already rushed out in front of him, just inches away!

At such close range, even if Weidenfeller reacted quickly, it would be difficult to make a save. At this time, the effect of his early rush to block the angle was demonstrated - so close, he didn't need to do anything, just his body was enough to form a wall.

The ball hit Weidenfeller's chin directly and bounced back!

"Ah—!" Marcel Reif screamed again. Commenting on this game, he was always so jumpy, something rarely seen in previous games...

The rebounding ball was heading downwards, hitting the ground and bouncing up again, but it was still within the penalty area.

Robben's reaction was quick enough, he immediately turned around and tried to win the ball back.

At this time, Subotic, who had returned to the defense, used his physical advantage to squeeze Robben behind him, and then took the initiative to kick the ball away, resolving Dortmund's crisis in front of the goal...

"Robben ah—!" Marcel Reif sighed after recovering from the shock. "He has missed two one-on-one chances in this game!"

Some Bayern Munich fans had some bad thoughts in their minds.

In the 2010 World Cup final three years ago, the Netherlands played against Spain, and Robben got two one-on-one chances in regular time.

In the sixty-second minute of the game, Sneijder sent a through ball, and Robben broke into the penalty area alone, facing Spanish goalkeeper Casillas. This was the best chance for the Netherlands in the whole game.

At that time, Robben tried to hit the lower left corner of the goal, and Casillas had already pounced in the completely opposite direction.

But even so, the ball was brushed out of the baseline by Casillas with the outside of his foot, who had already regained his balance!

Robben, who missed the opportunity, knelt down and couldn't get up for a long time.

In the eighty-second minute, he also got a good one-on-one opportunity, but after he broke into the penalty area, he couldn't control the ball, and Casillas directly hugged the ball in his arms.

In the end, the Netherlands lost to Spain in the penalty shootout. After losing the championship, Robben's wasted one-on-one in the sixty-second minute made many people think that Robben was the culprit for the Netherlands losing the championship.

Now, watching Robben miss two great chances in this Champions League final, one can't help but think of the World Cup final three years ago.

Did this foreshadow that Bayern Munich would have the same result?
