Chapter 1,205: Let Time Stand Still!
Real Madrid pressed forward with all their strength, and they fought tooth and nail!
Just after Real Madrid scored, Mourinho decisively replaced Benzema and replaced the team's right back Carvajal. Real Madrid's right back, who has performed well this season, worked very hard to guard Griezmann in this game, but in the end he still failed to completely guard him.
Mourinho told Benzema: "After you come on the field, stay in the penalty area! Your goal is to score goals!"
Benzema nodded and quickly rushed onto the court.
Just now they were thinking about the penalty shootout, but in an instant, they seemed to have no chance of a penalty shootout!
Mourinho looked anxiously in the direction of Manchester United's penalty area and kept praying in his heart.
Come on! We must equalize!
After Benzema came on, Manchester United's penalty area was filled with Real Madrid players. The two centers Ibrahimovic and Benzema are in the penalty area, the two wingers Bale and Ronaldo are roaming around the outside, and Hazard and Asensio are waiting in front of the penalty area to take a kick. Manchester United's defense is under great pressure now!
Van Dijk directed the defense: "Guys, you must hold on! The game is about to end, and we are about to win the game!"
Captain Carrick also led the midfielders and frontcourt players to retreat to the penalty area. Lewandowski and Griezmann also entered the penalty area to help the team defend.
Now faced with this kind of intensive defense situation, the penalty area is full of people, and long-range shots cannot be penetrated. Real Madrid players decisively choose to cross and hit the high ball. After all, there are tall players like Ibrahimovic and Benzema in the penalty area, as well as header experts like Ronaldo, and Ramos is also pressing forward. Now Real Madrid's high points are concentrated in the Manchester United penalty area.
"Bale forced a cross under Valencia's defense! Benzema's header! The ball went over the crossbar! This was the French forward's first touch of the ball after coming on the field. He almost became Real Madrid's savior!"
"Asensio cruised to the right. He cooperated with Modric and passed Alonso! He made a cross! Cristiano Ronaldo's overhead shot! De Gea held him firmly in his arms!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo's shooting action just now was very smooth. If it could be scored, it would definitely be one of the top three wonderful goals in Europe this season! But De Gea's position selection was very good, and the ball hit him right in his arms. !”
"The game has now reached the 29th minute, and Real Madrid is getting further and further away from the Champions League trophy!"
Seeing that the team has been unable to open up the situation, Real Madrid players are even more anxious.
At this time, the ball was at Bale's feet, and he was facing Valencia. Valencia knew that he would still choose to cross. But unexpectedly, Bell suddenly cut inside and reached the penalty area! Valencia is out of position!
"Bell successfully cut inside and got a chance! He directly took a long shot! He shot from the outside of his instep into the far corner!"
"De Gea touched it with his hand, but the ball was still in the penalty area! Ibrahimovic stretched his legs to tackle! The ball rolled towards the goal!"
"Lewandowski fell to the ground and made a sliding tackle in front of the goal! The ball was shoveled out of the baseline by him! He saved Manchester United's goal!"
This attack scared the Manchester United players!
De Gea pulled Lewandowski up from the ground: "Thanks to you just now."
Carrick also punched Lewandowski's chest: "I'll give you another credit!"
Time was running slowly at this time, and it had reached 29 minutes. The game was about to end in less than one minute. Now the referee has put his whistle in his mouth, waiting for the whistle to end the game. As long as Real Madrid's corner kick is taken,
Regardless of the result, overtime must end.
Bell didn't discuss it with anyone at this time. He ran towards the corner with the ball in his arms. He knew there was no time. He looked up at his teammates in the penalty area. At this time, everyone was in their positions, preparing for the final blow.
Cristiano Ronaldo is preparing to fight for a header in the crowd, while Benzema and Ibrahimovic are also at the front and back points respectively. Hazard, Asensio, and Modric are also waiting in the penalty area. Even goalkeeper Navas is waiting in the penalty area. Coming up, Ramos and Varane were choosing their positions in the penalty area, ready to fight.
Bell backed away slowly. He was not in a hurry now. Because he knew that this kick would be Real Madrid's last attack. Even if it was destroyed by Manchester United, the referee would not give a second corner kick. So Bell waited for his teammate's movement. He was confident that this time he would send the penalty to the center of the penalty area and let the crowd in the melee fight! This is considered a 50% probability.
At this time, the Bernabeu seemed to be still. Everyone was looking at the Manchester United penalty area, waiting for this penalty kick, this final corner kick.
Bell takes a run-up and makes a powerful free throw!
The ball flew high into Manchester United's penalty area!
Cristiano Ronaldo takes off high! But Van Dijk, who was guarding him, squeezed him fiercely and prevented him from touching the ball! The ball passed over Ronaldo's head!
Ibrahimovic and Lewandowski pulled together, and neither of them touched the ball!
Coulibaly squeezed Benzema away, and the two didn't even take off!
Carrick and Alonso severely suppressed Asensio and Modric, denying them any chance to header!
Varane was squeezed out of the penalty area by Valencia!
Real Madrid's corner kick seemed to end in failure...
"It's Ramos! His header! The ball goes in!!!!!!"
"As Ramos' header went into the net, the referee blew the whistle to end the overtime game!"
"The referee said the goal was valid!"
"At the last second of the game, Real Madrid's savior appeared! He was Real Madrid captain Ramos! He jumped high in the Manchester United penalty area, and no Manchester United player could guard him!"
"In this game, Ramos became a key figure for Real Madrid! At the beginning of the game, when he was defending Salah, he injured his opponent, causing Manchester United to lose an offensive weapon; then Ramos repeatedly made mistakes in defense. He made extraordinary achievements and prevented several Manchester United attacks; at the last moment of the game, he turned the tide and helped Real Madrid equalize the score! Real Madrid was pulled back from the edge of the cliff by him!"
At this time, all Real Madrid fans in the Bernabeu Stadium gave up their arrogant style. Regardless of men or women, everyone went crazy in an instant! They hugged each other, cheered, and loudly called Ramos's name and their captain's name!
Ramos is Real Madrid's savior! Ramos is Real Madrid's hero!
The water bottles in front of the Real Madrid coaching staff were flying around. It was no longer clear who kicked it and who threw it. They were enjoying the thrill of going from death to life crazily and enjoying the true charm of football!
Among the celebrating crowd of Real Madrid coaching staff, Real Madrid coach Mourinho also went completely crazy!
He shouted loudly to the court, curled up his legs, and screamed to the sky!
He tore the buttons of his shirt and roared wildly, like a savage!
We won't give up! We are the real kings of Europe!
