Chapter 1019 Offside?

"Real Madrid launched an attack, passed to the left and handed it over to Yang Yang."

"Yang Yang took the ball, faced Bosingwa, and forced a breakthrough."

"Good guy, feint, kick it back, pass to the middle..."

"Lampard and Kaka compete for the top at the same time..."

"The referee whistled for Lampard's handball."

"It was less than two minutes into the game. Lampard gave Real Madrid a direct free kick in a very good position in the middle of the front of the penalty area. The referee also gave Lampard a yellow card."

"Yang Yang wants to take the free kick himself. Chelsea still has to be careful. This is recognized by the world football today as the active player with the highest free kick attainment. His hit rate is amazing."

"Look at Yang Yang's direct free kick. The ball is very fast and the angle is very tricky!"

"Cech flew to save the ball, a very wonderful key save."

"Yang Yang completed the first shot in the Champions League final, but unfortunately, it was saved by Petr Cech."

"It should be said that Real Madrid missed a very good chance to score."

"Javi Alonso took the corner but it didn't make a difference."

"Chelsea's goal kick."

...

"Real Madrid steals the ball from the midfield, or passes it forward, or passes it to the left."

"Yang Yang counterattacked quickly with the ball, pushed it to the outside of Chelsea's penalty area, and passed it back to Marcelo."

"Nice, Marcelo crosses into the middle."

"Jarvey Alonso follow up..."

"Long shot!!!!"

"A little higher."

"It was a very threatening and fast counterattack, and it was still Real Madrid's left wing who planned the attack."

"Yang Yang and Marcelo were very active on this side, creating two threatening offensives in four minutes, but unfortunately, Harvey Alonso's long shot failed to suppress the ball and was slightly higher."

"Chelsea still attaches great importance to the protection of the front of the penalty area. We can see that Lampard and Mikel basically stand in this area and do not easily give Real Madrid any chance."

"Looking at the beginning of Real Madrid, the main thing is to stick to the two wings."

...

"Look at this time, Kaka split the ball to the right and gave it to Robben."

"Roben cuts the ball in from the right and hits the goal!"

"The ball hit Mikel's leg and went over the line, Real Madrid's corner."

"Real Madrid quickly take the corner, Xabi Alonso passes it to Kaka, and it goes straight to the goal!"

"Still a little high."

"In five minutes, Real Madrid created three very threatening attacks in a row, but they were all close to shooting."

"Di Matteo also looks very nervous. He has rushed to the sidelines twice, and he seems to be reminding Bosingwa to pay attention to Yang Yang's side. Obviously he noticed that before Kaka hit the goal, Yang Yang could run out of space on the left side of the penalty area, but Kaka chose to kick himself and did not pass the ball."

"Indeed, Yang Yang's ability to run without the ball is also a big problem for Chelsea. It is also very necessary for Di Matteo to tell Bosingwa to be careful. If Yang Yang seizes the opportunity, as long as he scores a goal, Chelsea's efforts for a season will be in vain."

...

"It's still Yang Yang's left."

"Real Madrid steal the ball from the backcourt, and Yang Yang gets the ball from the left."

"Beautiful dribbling and turning to get rid of, Bosingwa was thrown away, and Yang Yang made a diagonal pass with his right foot to the frontcourt."

"The pass was just right, Robben stopped the ball, shrugged off Ashley Korney and cut into the penalty area and kicked the goal."

"Oh, this should be a very good opportunity, but David Luiz returned to his position at a critical moment and restricted Robben with Petr Cech. The Dutchman's shot failed to form a goal."

...

"It's the left side where Yang Yang is again, or Yang Yang takes the ball, cuts in, attracts the attention of the defense, and then divides to the bottom line."

"Marcelo comes up, nice, has a chance, passes in the middle."

"Zlatan Ibrahimovic fights for the top and heads it in."

"A little higher again."

"It should be said that at the opening stage, Real Madrid's left side was extremely active. Yang Yang almost planned most of Real Madrid's offensives since the opening, and the right side was relatively quiet. Maybe this has little to do with Maicon's forward penetration tonight."

...

"When it comes to the right, pass to the right. Look at Real Madrid's attack this time."

"Maicon went forward and played a two-on-one-on-the-wall cooperation with Robben, trying to pass into the penalty area again."

"The ball hit David Luiz."

"We saw Robben gesturing for handball, David Luiz for handball."

"But the referee did not pay attention to it, obviously thinking that David Luiz did not intend to handball."

"Robben obviously still has some complaints about this. He thinks that David Luiz deliberately handballed the ball. If he didn't touch the ball with his hand, the next step would be him to catch the ball."

"But sometimes the game is like this, and the referee has no way to consider all factors."

...

"Going back to the left, Yang Yang forced a breakthrough and made a corner kick."

"Real Madrid's offensive was very fierce in the first ten minutes or so. It can almost be said that they were playing against Chelsea. The Blues have not even scored a shot so far."

"Look at the corner this time, Xabi Alonso made a quick penalty, to the back point!"

"Roben has no one to defend, he volleys directly to the goal!"

"Oops, the ball hit Petr Cech."

"The reaction of the Czech goalkeeper is really fast. As soon as he saw Harvey Alonso take a corner kick, he ran to the back point immediately."

"At the critical moment, Cech made many crucial saves and performed very well."

"Chelsea's defensive pressure is still very high."

"If this continues, Real Madrid may score a goal sooner or later."

…………

…………

When the game progressed to the 21st minute, Real Madrid once again played a quick offensive on the left.

Yang Yang and Marcelo were almost neck and neck. At the same time, they attacked Chelsea's defense from the right, and successfully dribbled the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Marcelo received Yang Yang's pass from the inside of the front of the penalty area, and passed it straight to the bottom line of the penalty area. Yang Yang inserted into the penalty area at high speed, forming a beautiful two-for-one, but David Luiz was precisely stuck on Yang Yang's line, forcing Yang Yang to choose to hit back.

The Brazilian left-back followed and, after receiving the ball on the left side of the penalty area, crossed with his left foot into the middle in search of Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

This was a quick counterattack by Real Madrid. The Swedish center's sprint speed was obviously a step slower than Yang Yang and Marcelo's, but at this time, he just hit Marcelo's pass and kicked directly.

At the critical moment, Cahill shoveled from the side to block Ibrahimovic's shot, and the Swedish center wanted to hit a lower right corner, but hit Cahill's leg, rebounded into the air, and fell to the left side of the goal.

Seeing this opportunity, Yang Yang followed up quickly. After judging the falling direction of the ball, he kicked up directly, volleyed the ball, and drew the ball into the goal guarded by Petr Cech.

The Czech goalkeeper who played bravely in this game just jumped to the right. At this time, facing Yang Yang's shot to the left, he was beyond his reach, and he could only sigh.

The entire Allianz Arena erupted in an instant, and all the Real Madrid fans cheered excitedly. Even Yang Yang, who was in the penalty area, turned around and rushed out of the stadium to celebrate his goal.

But at this moment, the line referee raised the flag in his hand high, signaling Yang Yang to be offside.

The referee Pedro also blew his whistle immediately, blowing off Yang Yang's goal, and the penalty was invalid.

Offside?

The originally excited Real Madrid seemed to be doused with a bucket of cold water in an instant. Everyone looked at the linesman and referee who were holding up the flag high in the stadium, but the Chelsea players who were almost desperate were overjoyed at this time.

"The linesman signaled that it was an offside and the goal was ruled invalid."

"We replayed it in slow motion. From this angle, it was difficult to see whether it was offside, because Cahill fell to the ground a little behind. Let's take a look at it from another angle."

"In general, it is still impossible to completely determine whether it is offside or not. It can only be said that Yang Yang should be in the fuzzy zone between offside and not offside, but the line referee obviously thinks that Yang Yang is offside."

"Real Madrid's recent wave of offensive has been very fierce, and Chelsea can no longer defend."

"However, blowing off a Real Madrid goal at this time is also a blow to the morale of the Galacticos. It should be seen that the Real Madrid players had already planned to celebrate the goal, but the referee signaled offside and the penalty missed the goal. This has to be said to be a difficult thing for people to accept."

"Ancelotti and Zidane were also very excited on the sidelines. It seemed that both of them were complaining about the referee's penalty. At the same time, they also called on the players to remain calm. I believe that Real Madrid players have rich experience in the Champions League final and should have enough wisdom to deal with such emergencies. Don't let your emotions influence your performance."

...

Chelsea's steel defense almost collapsed.

It can even be said that it has collapsed.

But Real Madrid's goal was blown off by the referee, which is definitely a blow to Real Madrid.

After the restart, Real Madrid ramped up their attack even further, as all were eager to secure a goal while Chelsea's defense was in trouble.

Not only was Marcelo on the left aggressively attacking, but Maicon on the right also became more active.

Real Madrid's two wings began to actively launch an offensive, playing even more fiercely than in the opening stage, creating threats one after another.

But after Chelsea survived the catastrophe, all the players became more resilient, more focused, retreated across the board, and struggled to support.

Until the 37th minute, Chelsea successfully intercepted the ball in the backcourt and suddenly played a quick counterattack.

Bertrand dribbled the ball from the left and drove straight in, taking the area behind Maicon.

The Brazilian right-back chased all the way, but was always behind the opponent, allowing Bertrand to kick in a cross from the left side of the penalty area.

Drogba received a cross from Bertrand in the middle of the penalty area, and the header flew to the back of the goal. Kalou followed up and pushed at close range.

This was Chelsea's first threatening counterattack in this game, forming the first shot, directly threatening Real Madrid's goal at close range, and even looked like they were about to score.

But at the critical moment, Casillas flew sideways and saved Kalou's push to the bottom line, resolving a must-goal crisis.

Chelsea corner.

It was also Chelsea's first corner kick of the game.
