"Three to three! Unbelievable! Tottenham Hotspur! They even equalized the score!" In the live broadcast room, Andy Gray stared wide-eyed and yelled passionately at the microphone in front of him, completely leaving the so-called image and demeanor behind, "Unbelievable! Faced with the extreme disadvantage of falling behind 0-3, Tottenham launched a ferocious counterattack in the second half, scoring three goals in a row in just seven minutes, and successfully filling the big hole they dug in the first half! Now, after more than an hour of fierce confrontation, AC Milan, who have led most of the game, have been pulled back to the same running line by the tenacious Tottenham!"

"I have to admit that this time I was really blind. As in the 02-03 season, Coach Nelson once again led his team to a miracle when no one was optimistic!" At this time, Martin Taylor, who had asserted at the end of the first half that "Tottenham are out of play", finally came to his senses and said very convincingly. At this time, his tone was already full of shock and sincere convincing for George and the Tottenham Hotspur players, "Now, let us cheer for the wonderful performance of Coach Nelson and Tottenham Hotspur! No matter what the final result of this Champions Cup final is, Tottenham Hotspur's performance tonight definitely deserves our warmest applause and most sincere praise!"

Tottenham fans were ecstatic in the stands and in front of the TV for the team's near-miraculous comeback, and the Tottenham players were celebrating selflessly on the pitch of the Ataturk Stadium - stubbornly winning the score from a desperate 0-3 situation, they did have enough reason and capital to vent the depression and passion that had been suppressed in their hearts at this moment!

"Well done! Didier!" Ronaldo and Robben, who were the first to rush to Drogba's side, did not give the Ivorians any chance to speak, and threw Drogba to the ground. Immediately afterwards, Alonso, Davies, Mascherano and even Cech and Ledley King, who had been staying at the back, rushed over and excitedly stacked Rohan on the pitch to celebrate Drogba's goal!

"It's flat! Three to three! We really did it!" At this moment, Robben and Ronaldo, who were extremely excited, only knew that they kept repeating this sentence. They never imagined that what George said to them at half-time would actually become a reality, and they would actually complete the feat of equalizing the score in the second half!

The attacking trident of Crespo, Shevchenko and Kaka penetrated almost all the opponents' goals, Pirlo, Seedorf and Gattuso formed a midfield that was both offensive and defensive, and the defense led by Maldini and Nesta was hailed as the best backline in Europe. It can be said that in addition to the fact that the players are a little older, AC Milan is completely first-rate among the top giants!

And now, they actually scored three consecutive holes in the Champions League final to level the score by scoring the score, and this was after falling behind 0-3 in the first half and having to fight with their backs in the second half. How can such a result not make them feel overjoyed and excited?!

While the Tottenham players celebrated the goal, the AC Milan players stood on the pitch in a daze and looked at the Tottenham players celebrating frantically not far away, with expressions full of confusion and confusion - until now, they have not recovered from the blow of the equalizer, let alone think about what happened in the past seven minutes, why did the score suddenly change from 3-0 to 3-3?

"Alright, that's all for the celebration. A minute later, Ledley King climbed out of the crowd and stopped his team-mates from continuing to celebrate – the young Tottenham Academy centre-back is maturing at a breakneck pace following his appointment as captain of the team, knowing when to focus on the big picture: "Don't forget, we're just making it 3-3 at the moment, and we're not really beating the opposition yet. Not to mention, with almost half an hour to go until the end of the game, anything could happen with the quality of AC Milan. So, if we don't want to be happy and sad, like letting what happened to Bout happen to us again, then we better follow the referee's orders now and go back to our half to prepare for the restart. (Note: Hans Bout is known as the "penalty goalkeeper" by fans because he is good at taking penalty kicks.) In April 2004, in the match between Bayer Leverkusen and Schalke 04, the goalkeeper was killed by Schalke 04 directly in the middle of the pitch for celebrating too long after scoring a penalty, which became one of the classic negative teaching materials on the football field)

At the same time, AC Milan have gradually stabilized their morale under the encouragement of veterans such as Maldini and Cafu - although the scene of being scored three goals in a row by Tottenham Hotspur reminded many of them of the past when they were reversed by Super Laco by four goals last season, they did not be discouraged by this, but regrouped after summing up the lessons learned, ready to regain the initiative in the game again!

In fact, the decline in stamina of veterans such as Maldini was only one of the reasons why Tottenham were able to recover the disadvantage of three goals so quickly. The main reason is Ancelotti's rigid and sluggish on-the-spot command ability. If Carlo Ancelotti had been more flexible and quicker, AC Milan would not have to face the situation of being beaten by Tottenham with a mess and losing a good situation.

Therefore, although the lead that was built up with great difficulty disappeared in a blink of an eye, and veterans such as Maldini and Cafu were also physically exhausted due to a season's attrition and Tottenham's crazy assault, AC Milan was not directly defeated by the morale of Tottenham after the equalizer, but fought with the opponent extremely tenaciously, and it was difficult to solve on the field!

Although AC Milan lost the financial support of Lao Bei after the phonegate scandal, and could only use extremely limited funds to bargain from the transfer market every summer to make minor repairs to the aging first-team squad, and even had to sell core players such as Kaka, Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to fill the increasingly serious financial deficit, but even so, the Rossoneri only officially withdrew from the ranks of the top giants after six years of hard work. And the reason why AC Milan has been able to stay for so long is precisely because of Maldini, Gattuso, Pirlo, and other players who have experienced countless storms and waves and are extremely experienced!

After the resumption of the game, AC Milan gradually emerged from the shadows and once again showed great fighting power, using their vast experience to offset Tottenham's advantages in terms of fitness and impact. And the result is quite obvious, they not only withstood the continuous onslaught of Drogba and others, but also created a lot of good scoring opportunities!

However, although the players of both sides played fiercely on the pitch, it was a pity that neither side could find the back of the net in the next half hour - Sheva and Kaka's close-range shots were blocked by Vidic and Ledley King, while Drogba's turning blast from outside the box and Robben's signature inward shot were also blocked by the likes of Nesta and Stam Goal!

In this way, when the 90-minute regular season game was announced to be over under the two short and one long whistles of the referee on duty, Mejuto Gonzalez, the exhausted AC Milan withstood Tottenham's continuous attacks under great mental and psychological pressure, and dragged the game into extra time!
