If you're on my side, girl, we can conquer the world together.

****

11:01 p.m. Spanish time.

Patrick laughed at the voice, and he looked back, just as he was about to reply, "It's fine", but he immediately realized that Tina wasn't asking him.

Tina asked Hans. The German's right hand covers his right rib.

Patrick was taken aback, he had noticed Hans's anomaly in several saves. Could it be the previous collision with the Titans? He remembered that Hans seemed to have suffered a powerful shot from Pierre in the right ribs......

Alice had already passed, and she pressed her hand on Hans's right rib while asking him some questions. Tina also passed. Patrick threw the water bottle and walked over to Hans's side.

Hans kept his mouth tightly closed, beads of sweat dripping down his haughty chin. Tina turned her head and shouted, to backup goalkeeper Trevor Harwood, "Go warm up, Trevor. "Under the new rules, both teams have a fourth substitution in extra time.

Hans frowned, and immediately waved his hand, "No. Nothing serious. ”

Alice jerked her head up and looked at Hans angrily, "Nothing serious? Yes, it could be a bruise, but I'm more inclined to have a broken rib." It may not be obvious that there is no significant displacement now, but if you continue to kick, you may have internal bleeding and even bigger problems and it will be difficult to treat later......"

Hans interrupted her, "I've broken bones before, trust me, Alice, I know what that's like. Then his gaze turned to Tina, "Boss, I know my body. ”

Trevor hesitated, not knowing if to warm up, and he looked at the manager.

The manager asked: "Hans, be honest with me, is it really okay? ”

The German smiled slightly. "It's fine. Alice is too sensitive. His lips moved, and he added, "I'm sure." Trust me, okay?"

The manager still looked skeptical, she hesitated, glanced at the field very quickly, the clock was pressing, and finally she made up her mind and said, "Okay." But if you have another abnormality, I'll replace you. She pursed her lips, her eyes becoming firm and sharp, she glanced at all the players, and shouted, "Everyone, the last fifteen minutes ......"

Patrick took her words to heart. Back on the pitch, Patrick walked up to Hans, and just as he was about to speak, the German pushed him away with his strong palm.

"Pat, do your job, I'm fine. We all want to win this game and that's all that matters. That's all that matters. ”

Patrick looked at Hans's strong back and remembered a picture from a long time ago. At that time, Hans said something similar.

"Hans, you're the best! you're the best goalkeeper I've ever met!" Patrick said suddenly.

Hans turned around and snorted, "Of the sure. ”

They looked up together, and the sky above Camp Nou was full of stars.

They all know that it is a starlight that cannot be disappointed, and it is an ambition and dream that cannot be disappointed.

****

11:02 p.m.

After the first half of extra time, the two teams had to exchange courts, and the final fifteen minutes of play would soon begin.

After Van der Bergh was sent off for a violent foul on Patrick, the two teams were back to parity, and Nathan Neal was a little more solid than before. But he also knows that anything can happen out of ten. Both teams are too tired, the space on the pitch will be stretched to a very large extent, and if there is chaos, the managers on both sides may have nothing else to do.

The QPR president was glad that he went to the bathroom before extra time began, and the Real Madrid president only got up to go to the bathroom now, and he estimated that Florentino would not be able to return at the start of the second half of extra time.

Simon, the club's CEO, leaned over from the seat in the back row, "Nate, the bus is ready to celebrate." Now it's up to you to see if you use the version with the Champions League trophy or not. ”

Nathan Neal answered.

Simon added, "The other thing is this post-match press conference......

"Kristen and Josh told me, Simon, let's watch the game first. Nathan Nill turned his gaze to the pitch. His heart was beating fast. He wondered what Kristen and her boys would be in if his heart was beating so uncontrollably.

The game will start soon.

QPRs will attack from the stands where their fans are located.

At this moment, more than 20,000 QPR diehards re-passed a QPR team flag that had been passed before the game.

Blue and white, rising in the stands on one side of the Camp Nou.

Blue and white, beating under the stars.

Nathan Niel sees that Real Madrid are ready to make a substitution.

****

11:03 p.m.

Real Madrid made one final substitution, with Brazilian attackers Vi/Nicius coming on and 29-year-old Brazilian midfielder Casemiro coming in.

The whistle blew.

Lu Ling has not encountered a 10-on-10 game so far. The two teams have played 105 minutes (112 minutes of stoppage time), and many players on both sides are extremely tired and struggling to play.

There are two veterans on the field of QPR, Real Madrid does not, which is a disadvantage, but fortunately, these two QPR veterans are substitutes. In addition, QPR has a substitution spot on her hand and she has not yet made a final decision. However, with the intensity of the game and the fitness of the players, a substitution is certainly necessary.

Marcelo found a long ball on the right side, and John stopped the ball in front of the manager -

But it stopped directly out of the sideline.

Lu Ling didn't blame the Northern Irishman in her heart, she knew very well that John was too tired, and everyone in this game, especially those who started, was too tired.

Zixiang ran to her and threw the ball.

Real Madrid's centre-forward Marcos Alonso headed the ball back, Gabriel Jesus in the middle came straight up, and the Brazilian shot straight at goal.

Ian stretched his foot in time, the ball was blocked, and Mbappe followed up to hoist the ball into the penalty area -

As a result, Mbappe sent the ball straight over the crossbar and flew into the stands.

Lu Ling was shocked, and it was not an accident. In this case, the mistakes of the two teams are bound to increase significantly, and no matter what tactics the head coach assigns, the execution will decline. As a manager, at this time, you can only give a general tactical direction, a general idea.

When QPR got back on the ball, she shouted out to the court, "Steady, don't be that fast!" and then motioned for Genk to press forward on the left.

She tried to get the team to open up the space. It's a bit dangerous because it means a lot more distance between the players, but so does the opponent. No matter how he played, Pat was always put in the middle by her. In the regular ninety minutes, Pat used to be placed in multiple positions by her, but now at this time, Lu Ling's instinct was that Pat must be allowed to stay in the middle. He can move to the left or right, but the average position should be kept in the middle as much as possible.

Real Madrid are retreating. Her gaze followed the direction of the ball as Nick was shouting into the pitch in Spanish to draw attention to the distance between the Real Madrid players. But how difficult it is to do this at such times.

Ian went on the attack. Phil jumped on Zixiang's head and headed the ball into the penalty area. QPR easily hit the danger zone this time because the opponent missed Ian who suddenly dribbled the ball while defending.

Lu Ling clenched his fists.

Genk flanked from the left and fired the ball towards goal, but Diaz reacted extremely quickly and saved the ball!

Pat caught up from behind, but was cleared by Varane first!

She regretted it.

But the ball wasn't out of bounds yet.

The ball was stopped by Ben on the edge of the area and then fed again into the box.

This is a secondary offense. Ben had a brilliant second-attack beforehand and produced Pyter's second goal of the game. It's just that this one-foot pass, when Ben gives it, the supporting foot should be a little unsolid. Lu Ling guessed that it was also the influence of physical fitness.

The ball drifted a little, and the general direction was still towards the penalty area, still flying to the back point......

Genk was about to jump again, with Antonio Rojas taking the lead first.

Rojas, a six-foot-tall centre-back, was the tallest player on the pitch at this moment. Lu Ling was surprised to find that Rojas's physical strength still seemed to be abundant. With this jump, his head was once again higher than the crossbar, and he smashed the ball away. He is definitely a centre-back that any football coach would appreciate.

QPR's attacking line and midfield line are not inferior to Real Madrid at all, or even stronger, but the gap between the back line, especially the central defender, is a bit big. Neither JT nor Louis could reach a satisfactory level.

Not only did Rojas intercept the ball perfectly with his head, but he also controlled the direction of the ball as much as possible.

The direction is-

The direction in which Zixiang rushed out.

The closer QPR players were Phil and Ben, both of whom were a step slower to react. Zixiang rushed out at high speed, and Pat, who was far away, chased back and released the shovel, and Zixiang dodged extremely quickly.

If Yu Zixiang rushes up, it is indeed difficult to stop.

However, Zixiang did not continue to rush forward, he directly kicked forward.

The ball flew towards Real Madrid's centre-forward Marcos Alonso, who jumped up and collided with David Luiz. The ball was barely kicked by David.

The siege is not far away. QPR has a large backfield space at this time.

Ian was chasing back, but Gabriel Jesus was one step ahead. Real Madrid's number one star first got the ball and suddenly slammed forward.

This left all the QPR defenders unprepared.

The ball flew past David and Gabriel Jesus shook off Ian's defence and burst into top speed to break through QPR's defence.

Real Madrid's single knife.

Glenn turned and chased after Jesus.

Hans struck, and his movements were slower than ever.

Gabriel Jesus is still a few yards away from stepping into the box.

Glenn had a very big step and a lot of speed, but he only had time to catch up on the flanks of the Real Madrid striker.

At that moment, everything in front of Lu Ling's eyes turned into slow motion, and even became a freeze-frame picture.

Gabriel Jesus headed towards the QPR penalty area, behind Hans. Behind that goal, the Real Madrid fans were already on their feet, and some of the fans in white had already raised their hands.

Glenn held out his hand.

Lu Ling held his head and shouted, "NOOOOOOOO!"

It was a sound of desperation.

The Brazilian fell to the ground.

Not a penalty. Didn't go into the restricted area.

But......

The referee's whistle swept sharply and predictably across the night sky at Camp Nou.

Lu Ling turned his back.

She knew that the referee was pulling out the red card, the third red card of the game.

As she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the coaching staff and substitutes jumping up in celebration on the Real Madrid side, and she heard the collective cheers of the Real Madrid fans at Camp Nou.

Glenn Mitchell was sent off.

The most stable Glenn in the QPR team, the shy Glenn, the smart Glenn, the decisive Glenn, sacrificed himself in order to stop Jesus' one-on-one goal.

Despite the small move, according to the rules, a player who deliberately blocks an opponent's absolute scoring opportunity must be sent off.

QPR will play nine players against their opponents ten in the final twelve minutes.

****

11:06 p.m.

Ron was about to burst into tears, he looked at the only nine blue and white players on the field with tears in his eyes, he wanted to win, of course he wanted to win, but he suddenly felt that it didn't matter if he lost. Everyone did their best.

He hated Barcelona, he hated Camp Nou, he hated so much dramatization, he missed London, he missed Loftus Road that was long gone and the new Queen's Park, which already made him feel like home. He doesn't want any good games, he'd rather it's a boring 1:0...... He was nearly seventy years old, and his heart couldn't bear it.

Ron's life has been a mess since he was younger. He had a terrible childhood, he had a terrible youth. He had another bad marriage, and he was a bastard and he deserved it. He didn't expect that everything would get better after the age of fifty, and even the team he supported had soared in recent years. He's seen his team win the Premier League twice! What else could he expect? Even if he can't win the Champions League, he shouldn't complain. Around him, the old guys, the little guys, were yelling and scolding more. They cursed the Real Madrid coaches and players, the damn referees, and even Christine and the two boys who were sent off.

Ron couldn't say a word. The team he supports is not a belief for him, it is a part of life. Like his favorite breakfast cereal for decades, like his favorite beer for decades. But football is higher than his life, higher than cereal and beer, full of passion and dreams that he will not have in life.

Ron remembered that he had met Christine's father, Alex, a few years earlier. He didn't know why Christine's father was the way he was, and he didn't need to, he just knew that no matter what you are, you crave something higher than you can imagine. That thing may be illusory, maybe fucking indescribable, but still, you need that. Otherwise, you're just living like a piece of dead meat.

The Queen's Blue and White Legion!

The Queen's Blue and White Legion!!

Ron choked up and shouted. Gradually, the guys around him shouted after him.

It's not over yet, you have to have faith, just like when you encounter difficulties countless times in life.

****

11:06 p.m.

It's incredible. Even Nicholas could not have imagined such a change.

There has already been a third red card in this Champions League final. QPR was sent off by two men, and Real Madrid once again gained a numerical advantage.

In the last three minutes, there were too many mistakes on both sides. Luckily, Real Madrid were the winners. Nicholas doesn't deny the role of luck in football, he just doesn't like to discuss such illusory things.

This free-kick is taken by Pierre.

The French kid, who had always been considered too casual by Nicholas, was unusually serious at this time.

He runs, he hits the ball.

The ball flew up and was blocked by the shoulder of David Luiz in the QPR man wall.

The German goalkeeper on the opposite side actually retracted his center of gravity in time, and then, with great difficulty, hit the ball with his left hand.

Hans Bachmeier's physical condition is suspicious. Nicholas noticed the exchange between the Germans and Tina when he changed venues. In short, it is not easy to pull back the body just now, but the incoordination of the saving action cannot be hidden.

It's a pity that this attack didn't work out. Now nine out of ten, Real Madrid must not throw away this great situation.

Under the orders of Nicolas, Real Madrid's attacking formation was re-launched, with Alonso in front, Jesus slightly behind, Asensio on the left and Mbappe on the right. The four-man attack line, coupled with Pierre, who can come up at any time in the back, QPR is in a state of defeat. They kept retreating, unable to press out. With Glenn Mitchell sent off, Ian Parker now has to drop back to the centre-back line again to partner David Luiz. Hamilton becomes a midfielder.

On top of that, Patrick has to be more recyclable, otherwise QPR's backcourt will be too thin. Even so, the nine were unable to play a tight defense.

Now it's the turn of the Real Madrid fans to shout victory in unison.

This is the last moment. There was no reason for Real Madrid to let the game go to penalties.

Gabriel Jesus' curling shot from outside the area was saved by Hans Bahmeyer.

From a corner, Rojas' header was blocked by Ian Parker on the goal line.

It's coming, it's coming. Nicholas's gaze kept moving.

Juan somehow came to the Real Madrid manager's side and whispered in his ear, "QPR is going to make a change, Joey Freeman." ”

Joey Freeman, Nicholas is still staring on the field, this is a young winger who is very fast and has good physical strength. Changing it at this moment will undoubtedly increase the resistance of QPR.

At this moment, Nicholas saw that Marcelo's steps were too slow. He shouted out to the pitch, and Jesus glanced back in his direction. Without waiting for him to give specific instructions, Jesus seemed to know how to do it.

The Brazilian immediately switched places with Mbappe.

Nicholas was very satisfied, and that was exactly what he meant. This is one of the options that Real Madrid often use.

After receiving the ball, Gabriel Jesus easily got past Marcelo on the outside of the right. Then send in a cross. Alonso drew Ian Parker's defence at the front point, but the ball didn't give it to it.

Mbappe's physical strength was almost at its peak, but the Frenchman, like all Real Madrid players on the pitch, was greatly motivated by the fact that his opponent was sent off.

This half-high cross found Mbappe who was flanked near the penalty spot.

Mbappe grabs the point. This swing was too hard, and the result was not a strong kick. It wasn't a good shot.

Nicholas suddenly remembered something. It was just a brief moment, and it quickly swiped through his mind, but all the information had already been extracted.

In March 2018, they played each other at the new Queen's Park. That was perhaps the most boring of the previous meetings between Kristen Lue and Nicolas Flores, ending 0-0. It was also mentioned by him at the pre-match press conference. After the game, they drank red wine together in her office, it was Bordeaux '05, and he didn't like the taste, like that game.

In the end, it broke up. But they talked about luck.

Oh, luck. That's right. But pure luck?

Bad luck can ruin a player's career, but maybe even that isn't accidental. Nicholas thought that it was not an accident, and he told her the reason at the time.

And now, Tina, it's no accident that you didn't get the penalty that sealed the game and you were sent off with two more points.

Everything in the world happens for a reason.

On the pitch, Mbappe kicked too hard, but the ball bounced subtly off the Frenchman's right heel and flew towards the goal in a weird spin and over Hans Bachmeier's fingertips.

The ball crosses the goal line.

In the 112th minute, Mbappe's goal helped Real Madrid lead QPR 5:4.

The whole Camp Nou cheered for Real Madrid.

Nikolaas stared at the direction of the players' celebrations, he also knew what was going on behind him at the moment, he didn't join the assistants, he looked down at the grass again.

It's game over, Lu Ling. He mentally pronounced the name softly in Chinese.

****

11:11 p.m.

At 113 minutes, QPR, who was one goal behind and playing one less, made the last substitution.

Winger Joey Freeman replaces Marcelo. Marcelo was a second-half substitute for QPR, but unlike Real Madrid's boss who replaced Titans, Marcelo was clearly completely unable to run on the pitch. This is not a widely controversial substitution. Joey Freeman comes on to play as a position between left-back and left-midfield.

Benjamin stood still and breathed a sigh of relief. The tightness in the calf of his left leg was a precursor to cramps. In this substitution, one person on each side fell on the field, and they were all cramps. Real Madrid is Pierre, and Zixiang is pressing his legs. QPR here...... It's actually Phil, who has always been tough. Pat was next to Phil, straightening his legs and holding the soles of his feet to help him quickly eliminate his symptoms.

Soon, the game resumed.

Benjamin received the ball, he tried to exert his strength normally, and passed the ball smoothly to John. He knows that there are too many uncertainties for the team right now and he has to take responsibility for stabilizing the team. But now the team is not only "stable", but also "aggressive".

But how?

The game has been played so far, like a strangely long dream, as if you can never wake up. 4:5, who would have thought of this score? Who the could?

There are only seven minutes left in the game. If you add stoppage time, there are eight minutes left at most. We have to score again. Otherwise, it will be a nightmare.

God, the ball is out of bounds again. Real Madrid regained possession.

Benjamin cursed inwardly.

In fact, at first, he played football, and his parents and even Brandon were very supportive, but when he decided to really go into the professional game, his father Samuel Hamilton was very unhappy. He made some compromises, and he even stayed away from football for up to a year.

Not only my father.

Words like "good heir" and "future leader" have been with Benjamin Hamilton throughout his upbringing. And when it comes to Fulham, the coach and teammates are called "Kid" and "Hamilton". Now, he's more often referred to as "Ben", but the outside world also calls him "Young International", "England's Andrea Pirlo" and so on.

Benjamin actually doesn't really care much about the label that people give him. That's someone else's business. Benjamin was always concerned with his own world.

Until one day, the world of Benjamin Hamilton and the world of Kristen Lue were connected. After that, Benjamin knew he would never be able to go back to the world he used to be.

He looked to the sidelines.

He really wanted to win this game, there were so many reasons that there was no reason.

****

11:13 p.m.

Lu Ling watched the Real Madrid players unfold their formation.

The positions of Pierre Junkay and Gabriel Jesus have changed again as before. These are the two strongest in the Real Madrid squad. Real Madrid's strategy can be read from the movements of these two.

Pierre pulls to the left, Jesus pulls to the right. Hit one more. It's obvious. Nick wants to control the situation in the safest way possible, and that is really an effective one.

When the ball hits the left, Pierre will dominate the possession. Similarly, when playing down the right, Gabriel Jesus will dominate.

With two consistent possession points on both flanks, it was difficult for QPR to steal the ball from Real Madrid. Taking advantage of the number of players, Real Madrid can stretch out the space and rely on the two wings to mobilize the physical overdraft of the QPR.

The clock is ticking. 115 minutes, then 116 minutes.

Phil began to press forward, and at the same time, Genk, who was still in good health, pressed forward, desperately trying to steal the ball at the opponent's feet. But there are too few people on the field, and there is too much space. There is no effect. Real Madrid's three-legged pass crossed the half.

Gabriel Jesus cut in from the right. The formation of the QPR was completely disjointed, with the Brazilian easily carrying the ball twenty yards into range. Ian abandons Alonso, who is defending himself, and goes up for a grab.

Gabriel Jesus didn't dwell on it, splitting the ball diagonally to the wing. Such a rational handling should be Nick's request.

Coming up on the right was Kylian Mbappe, whose cross was blocked by Joey Freeman's leg and flew into the box.

Pierre Junche suddenly burst into the box at breakneck speed. Ben is desperately trying to chase back.

The two jumped towards the landing point......

The young Frenchman got to the ball first and flipped it straight in the air. Hans seemed to lean back uncontrollably, but used his feet to block the ball as he fell backwards.

Zixiang on the periphery made a strong pass and shot and volleyed the ball back into the penalty area!

Hans fell to the ground. Ben also fell to the ground.

Zixiang's ball was a little off, but Pierre stretched out his foot towards the landing point. With just one touch, the ball can be folded into the empty goal.

Ben suddenly jumped desperately from the ground to the ball, towards the fast incoming ball, and blocked it directly with his face.

Ben was hit on the left side of the cheek by the ball, but was one step ahead of Pierre to touch the ball.

The ball flies off the baseline.

Lu Ling saw Ben half-turned over on the ground, his body was covered in mud, and he even seemed to smile at Ian and David, who came to inspect next to him. Her heart relaxed. Afterwards, Ian pulled Ben up and patted him on the back.

QPR also has to defend this corner.

However, Real Madrid did not put their defenders into the QPR penalty area. The corner kick was taken, and they continued to control the ball on the perimeter, more cautiously.

Pat subconsciously wanted to push to the side, but she shouted.

"Pat! stay in the middle!"

Then she made a gesture and continued shouting, "Ben, go to the left, Henk, right!"

She's going to keep Pat in the middle. Pat must stay in the middle lane.

If there is no hope, she accepts. But if there was still one possibility, she couldn't give up.

Will Barcelona fail her again? Will it be? On the plane, Pat grabbed her hand and said those words, how could they have thought of this moment at that time?

She prayed.

Everything that can be done has been done. Moreover, in the 90-minute game, she obviously won, obviously won, Nick should know that she beat him in 90 minutes, and she is not reconciled......

She raised her head, the sky was full of stars, the sky was full of stars.

She just didn't know her hands were shaking all the time.

****

11:15 p.m.

Camp Nou is huge. It can carry two and a half times as many fans as the new Queen's Park. It was a familiar and strange place for Patrick. Whether it's when he's wearing the red and blue No. 7 shirt or when he's wearing the number 18 blue and white shirt at the moment.

Patrick heard the head coach shouting. She wanted him to stay in the middle.

That means he's the only one in the middle now.

Ben went to the left, Genk went to the right, and Real Madrid were wasting time with all their might. The game will be over in a few minutes. The players in the black jersey turned the ball upside down between the two wings, and the QPR, who played one less, could not do anything about them. Moreover, they stopped playing in the middle after Gabriel Jesus dribbled the ball earlier.

In that case, Patrick won't be able to get the ball.

A few minutes earlier, when the team had just conceded a goal, that is, when Phil was cramping, Alice also ran over. Alice quickly said to him:

"Kristen Jean tells you to stay in the middle no matter what. ”

Rewind the clock to four hours ago. Patrick sits on the team bus, headphones on. The sky was still bright, and the familiar grey façade of Camp Nou was already in view.

The head coach suddenly came over and took off his headphones. He looked at her with questions and smiles in his eyes.

'Pat, I've got to tell you, you know there are some periods in this game where you might be on the wing, but you have to remember that you're always a central player. There is one of the simplest and eternal truths in football, the best players ......"

"I know, Tina. He looked at his beloved girl and interrupted her.

She also said: "You can create the most pressure on your opponent in the middle, and you can create the same threat as two or more people by yourself......

I know, Tina. I also know what the point of this game is.

Patrick moves near the top of the arc of his own penalty area. With there is no longer a midfielder (Ian went to fill Glenn's place after the soff), he has to be here. It's also the middle lane, he told himself. The most difficult position. The most important location.

118 minutes.

Unlike the QPR, Real Madrid put their two strongest players close to each of the two flanks. Patrick continued to hold on to his position. The fans in the stands began to get agitated. Real Madrid are on their way to victory.

Joey Freeman tripped Gabriel Jesus and was booked. Real Madrid won another free-kick from the wing.

The Real Madrid players set the ball slowly, they didn't choose to give it to the box, of course they wouldn't.

They started to take the ball towards the corner flag.

119 minutes.

Once again, the ball bounced back into Real Madrid's backfield.

Rojas dodges Phil's pressing. Phil chased him all the way, but Rojas still played the ball with ease and fed it to Jesus.

Real Madrid soon hit the QPR penalty area again.

I'm running out of time.

Patrick stared at the situation. It's not time to give up yet. If the whistle doesn't blow, the game doesn't end. Anything is possible.

Remember, football is a fucking sport, in a bad way, but also in a wonderful way.

Just then, Patrick saw Ben, who was defending Gabriel Jesus on the left, and suddenly staggered forward to make way for the Brazilian.

A passage to the middle.

Was it a mistake or was it intentional?

The opponent's inward cut line was thus exposed.

The decision is up to Gabriel Jesus.

The Brazilians made their choice.

Patrick already knew what choice he would make. The Brazilian, who had basically stayed on the right side and right rib before, did not hesitate to choose to cut inside to the middle when Ben's position clearly showed the space to break through!

This is extremely dangerous. QPR doesn't actually have a back back. With an opposition, a centre-forward and a winger in the middle of the pitch operating in the box, Gabriel Jesus with the ball was almost under no pressure.

Patrick quickly moved over.

Behind him, Ian and Joey were pinned down by Mbappe and David pinned down by Alonso. He was the only barrier in front of Gabriel Jesus.

He never forgot Gabriel's quality, and he knew it in the first encounter.

But he didn't forget that he was Patrick-Amber.

Gabriel Jesus stepped on his left foot and appeared to be trying to reverse the ball to the right.

Patrick's feet tread lightly on the turf, not shifting his weight.

Sure enough, Gabriel Jesus' right leg was also an illusion, just stepping over the ball.

After doing these two shakes, Jesus jerked on. Forced past Patrick's right-hand side.

It was a little too big for Gabriel Jesus to do, but he realised his opponent might have done it on purpose.

Either Patrick would foul and Real could use the free-kick to spend the last minute or two, or Patrick would be cleared.

Patrick chose to be passed.

Patrick then made a quick turn with his left foot and stepped out to chase Gabriel Jesus, who had already overtaken.

Gabriel Jesus rushed into the box. With the opponent's positional advantage, it was difficult for Patrick to touch the ball directly. John was heading this way, though, slowing Jesus down. Ian moved over to this side as well.

However, Gabriel Jesus flicked the ball in the opposite direction, dodged the two directly, and then prepared to shoot with his right foot.

"If you don't play anymore, Pat, what will you do?"

"I never thought about it, Christine. ”

How old was he? Thirteen, fourteen?

Where is that? Southwark Park? No, it's not. Stepney-Green's meadows, Edward VII Memorial Park, or in an apartment in East London, or in the rumbling underground?

Patrick couldn't remember.

All he knew was that this was the last of the last.

The clock should have passed 120 minutes, with about a minute of stoppage time. Presumably, the fourth official on the sidelines was holding up a sign.

Patrick made a steal with his foot just as Gabriel Jesus swung his leg at goal. From behind Jesus' flank, his right foot was on the ball with the force of an axe into wood. The moment his foot hit the ground, he pulled the center of gravity of his body over, and he used the strength of his entire body as a support to block the ball firmly.

Gabriel Jesus fell forward, but the referee was nearby and should have seen it clearly.

Patrick kicked the ball.

After breaking the ball in the box, Patrick took the ball out of the box in one step.

Pierre immediately came over to block Patrick's path.

Patrick looked forward. Not far ahead, Phil was waving in response. On his right-hand side, there's an easier pass target, Genk.

He leaned to his right, ready to pass to the Dutchman.

Pierre's body involuntarily moved in that direction.

"I think you can think about it. You can't play football for the rest of your life. And even if you play in the Premier League, the Champions League, the World Cup, one day you will become very old and slow and you will not be able to play. ”

"Please, Christine, that day is still early, a million years from now. ”

Patrick changed his mind. He didn't pass the ball.

He felt his legs, his feet, his body stronger than ever. His blood was rushing, and his eyes were staring directly at the French kid in front of him.

Patrick's right foot slammed the ball to his left. Pierre's body paused slightly, and immediately moved with it.

Patrick suddenly twisted his body to turn his back to his opponent, and then quickly exchanged his left and right feet to pull the ball in the opposite direction. Like a dancer on ice, the ball rolls on the soles of his feet and rolls past the tips of Pierre's feet.

Marseille maneuver.

Pierre was pinned in place.

Real Madrid's winger Asensio chased after Patrick from the other flank and was already ready to scramble up the flank. But Patrick held the ball firmly at his feet with his right foot, and with his left foot he scurried to the left, sending the ball between his legs, and at the same time kicking the ground in two quick steps before escaping! Asensio was still pounced, hitting him on the shoulder, and was bounced off and fell.

Patrick's two dribbles have already broken through Real Madrid's first line of encirclement. He felt a lot of players in black chasing back.

An accident occurred when Phil seemed to cramp again as he turned and sprinted forward, and fell into the center circle.

Damn, the only point of contact in the front court is gone.

It doesn't matter, really, trust me, it doesn't matter.

Under the starry sky, the blue-and-white No. 18 began to pick up speed.

Real Madrid's new midfielder Casemiro leapt out of the centre circle and pounced desperately at Patrick.

Patrick cut inside with his left foot to the ball, which flew to his right and past Casemiro. His body immediately changed direction slightly, and he stepped over. Casemiro stretched out his left arm and hit Patrick hard in the chest, grabbing Patrick's shirt with his left hand.

He tried to stop me with a foul. No way. Patrick swung away the strong arm with his left hand, continuing to pick up speed, pick up.

The Real Madrid midfielder let go, and at the same time staggered a few steps under inertia and fell into the centre circle.

A fourth opponent appeared in front of him. It's his good buddy Zixiang. Zixiang's current position on the pitch is a left-back in a back three. Zixiang rushed up quickly to the middle at this time.

After being dragged by Casemiro just now, Patrick slowed down slightly, but suddenly accelerated again. There was a dull ache in the area he was kicked in the first half of extra time, but that didn't stop him from continuing to accelerate.

Zixiang fell to the ground and slid a tackle, and the action was extremely great. He wants to take him down here and stop at nothing to stop his breakthrough.

Patrick was fully up to speed, unable to make a big change of direction right away. Zixiang was indeed too fast, almost shoveling the ball away.

The moment Zixiang's feet came by, Patrick tried his best to reach out on his toes. The ball hit Zixiang's shin guard - the opponent's leg was obviously raised, wanting to intercept the ball and intercepting people.

The ball bounced to a height of about five or six feet, and just before Zixiang tripped him, Patrick took to the air and crossed Zixiang with the ball.

But the speed was too fast, and when he jumped to the ground, Patrick felt a violent impact on his ankle, and he almost lost his balance.

The ball landed in front of his eyes, and he felt his heart squeeze the blood and rush to all parts of his body, as if his whole body was about to explode at any moment.

The ball touches the ground and bounces.

Real Madrid's centre-back Raphael Varane came in front of him and was ready to kick the ball away. Losing his balance and leaning forward exceedingly, Patrick kicked the ground again with his right foot.

He slammed the ball into the air with his left foot before it touched the ground, a captival pick-and-roll, and Patrick's body leaned forward and flung towards the ground to the right.

If you fall here, it's over. Patrick jerked the ground with his right hand.

He felt the muscles in his flank pull his torso up with almost tearing force, forcing it back into its normal position, and two steps later, he crossed Varane.

He glanced at the situation in front of him, and it was already very clear.

Antonio Rojas, who was originally in the right centre-back, has now been quick to fill in diagonally towards the middle.

This is Real Madrid's last defender, and after that is the goalkeeper.

This is the hardest one.

But fuck it.

Patrick sped up again, stabbing the ball in front of his left.

The ball is divided.

Patrick swept past Rojas on the left, and the ball went over Rojas from the other side. The Real Madrid defender swept over, and Patrick was prepared this time, so he quickly took two steps to the right to avoid the kick, and then stabbed diagonally into the box with the ball.

Patrick faces Matteo Diaz, Real Madrid's goalkeeper.

He didn't give his opponent a chance. A bicycle feint with his right foot, and a lateral flick of his left foot almost without pause, he crossed the seventh man.

Behind the goal were countless blue-and-white fans who had already stood up and raised their arms high.

"Christine, I thought about it for a while, you're right, one day I'll become a grandfather too. But before that day comes, I'm going to score the best goal in the world, better than Maradona's. Perhaps, from my own penalty area all the way to the opponent's penalty area, I want more people than him!"

Patrick faced the empty door and jerked it away.

She didn't know, no one knew, that this fight could have been the last of his career......

He told Nate that he would retire if things got out of hand. That's not a game, that's a choice.

The net flutters.

Under strong inertia, this time, Patrick really lost his balance and fell on the turf, facing the sky on his back.

The whole Camp Nou seems to be rising from the ground and rushing into the night sky. Countless stars are embedded in the night sky, twinkling. Crazy roars, screams, fans, teammates. Several people had already rushed over and pounced on him first.

When he got up, she was already running wildly. She jumped on top of him, and he quickly retracted the two right angles that stretched out into the starry sky and hugged her tightly.

****

11:19 p.m.

"Oh my God! Oh my God!" BT Sport commentator Darren Fletcher howled frantically, and all the commentators around him, including the Spaniards, went into a complete frenzy, "What did we see! What did we see! Patrick Amber's goal, I don't know how many people he passed! Was it seven? He crossed a hundred yards, he beat the whole Real Madrid team, he scored a hat-trick, he helped QPR equalise in the last minute! Is there anything crazier than that? It's something that has never happened before in the history of football...... What exactly have we witnessed?" his partner answered his question immediately.

"History. What we are witnessing is history. ”

From the moment Patrick cut off Jesus, Ron stood up like all the fans around him.

After one, two, Patrick forward. After three, four, he kept going.

Together with more than 20,000 QPR diehards, he watched as the blue-white figure rushed in his direction alone.

Fifth, sixth, then goalkeeper......

The bastards tried to take him down, but he fucking beat them all.

The scoreboard shows 5:5.

Ron noticed tears streaming down his wrinkled cheeks. Everyone around him was hugging and beating. This side of the stands at Camp Nou was shaking, it was really shaking, and he could feel the buzzing tremor as he held on to the back of his seat.

He didn't know how many people he had hugged, and he didn't care about his tears, anyway, everyone fucking was the same. He wiped his face vigorously and continued to look at the field.

Fuck, we didn't lose. Although at one point it looked like losing. We were sent off by two men and we were still down by one goal towards the end of the game. But now it's a draw.

The referee's whistle blew.

One hundred and twenty minutes of the game is over.

Next up will be a penalty shoot-out. Ron knew his heart was going to hit again. But it doesn't matter, he doesn't care.

****

11:20 p.m.

Oh, my God. Nathan Neal still feels like he's having a hard time coming to his senses. He had never been so glad he had bought the club as he was now.

The Camp Nou is brightly lit and full of people. The green turf was covered with scars from the 120-minute battle. The players on both sides were on one side and were receiving the last instructions from the coaching staff. It was also a moment of agitation, and everyone on the bench stood up.

It was a frantic game with three red cards and ten goals over the course of one hundred and twenty minutes. Pate became the first player to score a hat-trick in a final since the Champions League was restructured.

After the steal, he connected seven people...... What a terrible guy. He looked at the man in the court, who stood beside the woman he loved. The blue-and-white jersey was covered in mud and it was almost impossible to read the numbers. But the whole world knows that it was the 18th.

Nathan Neal glanced down at his phone, dazzled by the various prompts on the screen. He tweeted.

[In my heart, we are already champions. I'm proud. 】

He guessed that after that goal, all the neutral fans would basically be on the side of the QPR. He also knows that penalty shoot-outs are fucked up and unpredictable.

And, when he looked to the sidelines, Hans Bachmeier's situation seemed worrying.

****

11:22 p.m. The captains of both teams were called over by the referee to pick the goal and kick-off in order.

Lu Ling took a breath. The magical image of the goal still lingered in her mind, but the final moment was yet to come. Although, at this stage of the penalty shootout, it is a time when the manager is powerless.

She looked at Hans next to her. The German refused to allow the team doctor to approach him, repeating "I'm fine" before urging the goalkeeper to show him the stats of the opposing player's penalty again.

Hans was clearly injured and his face was a little distorted from the pain, but now the team had to keep him in the penalty shoot-out.

If it is a healthy Hans, then Lu Ling is still confident. Over the years since joining QPR, Hans' penalty save success rate is one of the highest in European football. Diaz on the other side had a relatively poor stat in terms of pounces.

But if Hans's right rib is really broken......

She felt a strong sense of guilt in her heart. She should have forcibly replaced him. But she immediately realized that she couldn't think about it at this time.

Ian had gone back. She asked the captain with a look, and Ian smiled and pointed to the goal where the QPR fan was.

That's the good news. Towards the stands of their own fans, there must be a psychological advantage.

And, Real Madrid will take the penalty first. The order of appearance in the penalty shoot-out on the QPR side has also been decided. This year's Champions League final is the second year that "ABBA" penalties have been implemented (meaning that the two teams will alternate first in each round to increase fairness).

Lu Ling looked at Patrick, and he looked at her too, his gaze soft and determined. Then she turned to Hans, who walked over and held the German's hand tightly. She didn't have to say anything. Gratitude, self-blame, and trust. The smart and resilient Hans must have understood.

****

11:24 p.m.

Yu Zixiang, the first player to take the penalty, had already walked to the penalty area with the ball.

On either side of the halfway line, two teams of players stand side by side.

Outside the touchline, all members of the Real Madrid coaching staff and substitutes stood behind Nicolas.

Zixiang puts the ball on the penalty spot.

Zixiang faced the blue and white fans who had supported him. Those fans threw out their hands and booed at the moment, doing everything they could to disturb him. Opposite Zixiang is the tall QPR goalkeeper Hans Bachmeier. Also his good friends, they know each other very well.

Zixiang runs. Hit the ball with your left foot.

The ball flew out of the penalty spot against the turf and towards the bottom left corner of the goal -

The Germans pounced in the same direction.

Almost wiping his gloves, the ball drilled into that corner.

Nicholas had long noticed that the German's movements had been somewhat incongruous for much of the game. He's hurt. It's not easy to hold on until now. But the Real Madrid boss wants the German to make mistakes. He had just told all the players that the opposing goalkeeper was not scary, the opposing goalkeeper was an injured tiger, and a wolf was enough to pounce on him.

Due to the new penalty shoot-out rules of "ABBA", the next two penalties were taken by QPR players. First up was QPR captain Ian Parker.

The Scot tugged up the captain's armband and stepped into the box without hesitation.

Matteo Diaz stood in front of the goal-line and bobbed back and forth a few times, hoping to disrupt his opponent. But Nicholas didn't think that would do much. Ian was one of the most consistent players in the game and was an extremely mentally strong leader. Ian was no longer the immature red-haired boy he had seen when he arrived in Harlington in late autumn 2015.

Ian sent the ball into the corner, the same angle that Zixiang chose. Then turn around and raise your right fist.

1:1。

QPR's second free-thrower walked up and was John O'Connor, who had excellent footwork. Nicholas finalised the signings for QPR during Euro 2016. In this game, John played all positions on the right side, from right central defender, to right winger, to right back, to right midfielder.

But there seems to be something shaky about John's footsteps. The physical exertion of 120 minutes is an important factor in the penalty shoot-out, determining whether the players are able to finish the shot consistently at that moment.

The Northern Irishman runs and hits the ball with his right foot.

The ball hits the post!

Nicholas turned around and clenched his fists slightly.

****

11:26 p.m.

All the QPR players let out a sigh at the same time. John didn't look physically fit and unlucky when he shot and the ball hit the outside of the left post.

John walked back dejected. Patrick patted him on the back. He heard the Flower-Armed Boy say "I'm sorry", and almost everyone said "It's okay" to John at the same time.

Everyone was too tired, Patrick thought. After scoring the final equaliser, he still feels like his leg is not his own, but fortunately there are no injuries. Phil was supposed to be in the five-man free throw list, but Tina took him out because of two cramps in overtime. John has always been very good at taking set-pieces, so it's normal to play him. John played extremely well in this game and no one would blame him.

This will be followed by two consecutive penalties from Real Madrid players.

Mbappe stepped forward. Patrick stared at the figure as the Frenchman scored Real Madrid's fifth goal in extra-time that nearly killed the game.

Hans was beaten by the eerie spin of that ball, and now the tall German is on the goal line again.

Patrick looked at Hans. The German is a formidable goalkeeper, and Patrick has never seen a goalkeeper who can cover the goal to this extent.

Mbappe swings his right leg and shoots at the ball.

Once again, Hans was right, Mbappe's shot was actually a little far off the ground, it was a half-high ball, and Hans's hand had already touched the ball -

But the ball was so fast that it flew into the net after it was folded in Hans's hand.

All teammates sighed again.

QPR is now 1:2 behind. The opponent hit both free throws.

The third Real Madrid player to take the penalty was Pierre Junkai.

****

11:27 p.m.

Hans Bachmeier watched as the ball hit his fingers, if only he could have done it faster...... He gritted his teeth. It hurts, it really hurts.

In the final minutes of overtime, he could already feel a slight hard bulge in his ribs, which he could feel with his hands. Alice was right, he had broken his ribs during the collision with the Titan, and now he should have been displaced to some extent.

At first, the pain was not obvious, and it was probably not an open fracture, but a crack. But as time went on, he jumped, saved, and fell to the ground again and again, and the pain intensified.

There was no time to breathe, he had to concentrate and he recalled the penalty data of the Real Madrid players. The pain slowed his thoughts, but fortunately he remembered them very clearly.

Pierre Junkay stood in front of the ball.

QPR's goalkeeper coach, Mr. Beltz, who was also his mentor from a young age, was responsible for collating the data. Pierre's career is still short and there is not enough data. The only four penalties were taken in a very irregular direction, and it looked like it was freewheeling.

Hans was on his own.

He stared at each other. He did his best to recall every detail about the past encounters and this match.

The Frenchman put the ball on the penalty spot and looked up. Hans thought the boy's expression was strange. Would the immature boy who called Christine "Queen" choose to play with a spoon penalty? Hans suddenly remembered that Pierre Jonchet had played a spoon penalty when he was in Lille.

He looked into the other's eyes. No, no, he won't. Hans didn't know why, instinctively, or was it because Flores wouldn't allow his players to play spoon penalties on such occasions?

He decided to take a gamble.

Pierre's left foot stepped on the side of the ball and his right foot swung powerfully towards the ball.

Hans pounced.

The ball was flying towards Hans's top left corner and was one of the hardest angles.

Hans was in the air, his body nearly parallel to the ground. His right hand waved—

Hit the ball over the crossbar upwards!

A deafening cheer erupted behind Hans.

However, when Hans stretched his right arm, the muscles on the right side of his torso were also stretched. Before he could hit the ground, the unbearable pain hit him violently, and he fell to the ground, panting for breath, but also extremely excited.

He knew that he couldn't show a little vulnerability. Real Madrid's players must know he's injured, but they can't be made to feel like he's injured and therefore unthreatening. Hans Bachmeier, even if his ribs are broken, is still Hans Bachmeier.

The Frenchman on the opposite side stared blankly at the ball that had popped up, shook his hand in annoyance, and walked back. Hans got up and waved his fist at the stands as he walked out of the box.

He was right. He guessed that Pierre Junche would most likely choose a difficult angle.

Hans, who stepped aside, looked at his teammates who came up. It's Henk.

The Dutchman came off the bench in the second half of regular time and has played a total of 60 minutes so far, so he should not be affected by too much physical factor.

Sure enough, Genk's run was strong and powerful, and he blasted the ball into the middle. Matteo Diaz guessed the wrong direction and fell to the right.

Extremely excited, Genk pulled his clothes at the blue and white fans in the stands, slapped the team crest on the jersey fiercely, and greeted the cheers of the fans.

Both teams have each taken three penalty kicks and conceded one, and the score is currently 2:2.

Hans sighed and reached out to slap Henk.

The tension eased a little, and it seemed that the pain had eased a little.

He looked at the next player in the blue and white jersey who came up from the halfway line.

This is QPR's fourth penalty taker, Patrick Amber.

****

11:28 p.m.

QPR and Real Madrid are temporarily tied on penalties and the final four penalties could kill one or the other at any time.

Patrick put the ball on the penalty spot and took two steps back. There is no long run-up distance.

Lu Ling stood on the sidelines. She kept it that way from the beginning, and at first Tim tried to play a joke on her to make her relax.

"I remember you used to be afraid to watch a penalty. ”

"Oh, how long has it been. ”

And now, Lu Ling felt that his whole body was completely frozen.

She recalls many stories her father told her as a child, of superstars missing penalties in big games. Platini, Maradona, Baggio...... Including C-Ronaldo, Messi, Robben, who she herself saw later......

So far in his career, Pate has only missed one penalty. But it was against Nick's side that he missed the penalty he had won in the opening penalty before the snow fell.

Lu Ling knew that he fully believed in Pat. He's her Pat. But she was just nervous, nervous and couldn't move. She felt soaked with sweat inside and out.

Pat standing so close to the ball was not an unusual way to make free throws.

After taking two steps forward, he was already swinging his left leg.

Lu Ling could feel the whole world holding his breath with him.

It was a penalty that barely helped the run, but it was very powerful. Moreover, it is also flying to the upper corner. Even more tricky than Pierre's, the ball grazed the crossbar and the post and flew into the net!

QPR 3:2 ahead of Real Madrid! Now the pressure is on Real Madrid's side.

After the penalty shootout began, Lu Ling felt that she could move for the first time, she clenched her fist fiercely and waved it, and shouted a few words loudly. It's just that she didn't know what she was shouting after shouting.

The blue-and-white number 18 didn't express much excitement after completing this perfect shot. He pointed to the stands, and the blue and white fans cheered in response.

Next, it will be Real Madrid's fourth penalty taker. Marco Asensio walked up. This is a substitute player, there should be no problem with physical strength, and Lu Ling knows that Asensio's shot is very good.

Her worries returned. Hans......

Asensio stood in front of the ball and shot it hard.

The ball was hit into the bottom right-hand corner of Hans. She saw Hans take a step over that side and make a save, but the move to lower her center of gravity looked very difficult.

The ball goes into the net. Real Madrid drew 3:3.

Worst. She thought. Hans's injuries must have worsened. The top corner kick from Pierre was a classic, but now the low ball seems to be very laborious. If you lower your center of gravity to the lower corner, you may have to mobilize more waist and abdominal strength, which will implicate the rib injury, so the movement looks difficult.

If the opponent is aware of this......

Next to come on was Real Madrid's last penalty taker.

Gabriel Jesus.

****

11:29 p.m.

Jesus walked over. Benjamin Hamilton looks at the back of the Brazilian. The Brazilian played extremely well in this game and, of course, was overshadowed by the goal scored in extra time by Peter.

At the moment, the two teams are back to a draw again. In fact, from this round onwards, it has entered the so-called "sudden death" mode. If you miss one penalty, you will most likely lose the whole game.

Hans's performance against Asensio just now made Benjamin a little uneasy. In this penalty shootout, Hans made all four saves in the right direction, which is actually a big shock for opponents. But Hans was injured and it was Gabriel Jesus who was punishing, so Benjamin didn't expect much from the deterrent.

It can only be a matter of luck.

Gabriel Jesus has the ball set. He exited the box backwards and ran towards the ball.

Halfway through the run, the Brazilian suddenly paused.

Hans moved, as if unable to control his body, and took a wrong step to the left.

Gabriel Jesus then continued to rush towards the ball and hit it with his right foot in the opposite direction!

At that moment, Hans forcibly dragged his body in the opposite direction—

Benjamin felt the incredible to the extreme.

The German made an extremely swift, perfect drop, his huge body quickly descended to the height of the ball, then touched the ball with his right hand, and the ball then hit the post and bounced!

Gabriel Jesus stepped forward in frustration and kicked the ball into the goal, but of course it was ineffective, and it drew boos from tens of thousands of QPR fans behind the goal. However, more fans in the stands have hugged each other excitedly. They're celebrating.

This is the closest QPR is to winning the Champions League.

However, Hans, who had fallen to the ground, was unable to get up from the ground. His injured ribs hit the ground as he pounced on the ball, and now the German's face was flushed, and anyone could tell that his pain was unbearable.

The QPR fans in the stands behind the goal also immediately noticed the anomaly.

The German propped himself up with his two arms and slowly got up.

Benjamin walked up at this point, and he was the last penalty taker for QPR.

When he walked into the box, he first checked the condition of his teammates. "Hans, how are you?" said referee Kakier, who was also on the side, asking Hans if he could continue to hold on.

Hans nodded. He didn't look up at Benjamin, but a hand tapped Benjamin on the shoulder. Benjamin knew what that meant. He slapped the giant palm with his own hand.

Benjamin picked up the ball, walked to the middle of the box and placed the ball on the white spot.

It was the last penalty kick in five rounds of penalty shootouts.

This is match point.

Hans saved two penalties and as long as he scored this, QPR was the champion.

Behind the goal, all QPR fans have already stood up. In fact, at Camp Nou, everyone stood up.

Benjamin let his breathing evenly.

For half a second, it was as if for the first time in his mind there was a state where nothing existed, but it was as if everything was there.

He runs, his feet are light, and every step is methodical.

Firmly touch the ground with the supporting foot and hit the center of the ball with the right foot.

Matteo Diaz pounced in the right direction this time. But like Pat's free throw, it's a perfect top corner.

There was never any problem.

The net is raised. As the ball flew into the goal, the blue and white fans on the opposite side erupted in an earthquake roar.

Benjamin Hamilton raised his hands in the air. He smiled, he wanted to look back at her, baby, we are champions tonight. But the next moment he was already hugged by Hans, who was like a mountain. Ten seconds later, he was overwhelmed by his teammates. After that, it was everyone, he looked for her figure in the crowd, and he couldn't see her for a long time, and he was a little anxious.

****

11:31 p.m.

When Benjamin scored the penalty, half of the Camp Nou was shaking.

Pierre-Junchet cried.

His team-mate, Gabi Jesus, who also missed a penalty, fell to his knees, his body shaking. Captain Varane went over and patted Gabi and then came over and hugged Pierre.

How can you want to shed tears so much. Pierre shook his head. How can it feel so uncomfortable to lose a game? He covered his face with his jersey, closed his eyes, and fell into brief darkness. He sniffed and dropped his jersey. Blankly looking.

Most of the Real Madrid players were lying on the turf as if they had been hit hard, and Zixiang seemed to be crying. From his still blurred vision, Pierre saw the head coach, Mr. Flores, walk onto the field. He patted everyone on the shoulder, and he walked over to his side. He hugged him, and he said in French: "It will pass, Pierre, all the pain will pass." ”

Pierre wowed, crying even harder. He lay on the manager's shoulder, tears soaking the manager's shirt, even though it was covered in sweat.

Pierre hated that he hadn't been able to score that penalty and he looked up from the manager's shoulder to see the blue and white players celebrating wildly in front of their fan stands, and he couldn't control his tears and continued to cry.

The manager patted him on the back.

With tears streaming down his eyes, Pierre looked to the sidelines where several players from the QPR coaching staff were hugging each other in celebration. He didn't want to see this picture, but he noticed something else.

Why did the queen seem to be crying, tears of excitement, tears of joy? He wiped his eyes and looked closely, and the manager seemed to notice his gaze and turned his head.

****

11:32 p.m.

QPR's head coach lay on the shoulders of Alice Brown, the team doctor, and was shaking with tears.

From time to time, players passed by them, some laughing, some in tears. The high-spirited songs of QPR fans are constantly ringing in their ears.

Phil Beasley rushed over with a QPR flag thrown from the stands, and he yelled at the manager, "We've won! Boss, we've fucking won!"

Lu Ling raised his head with tears on his face and tried to smile at Phil. Alice patted her on the back and slowly let go of her. Phil grinned and hugged the manager, looked at her swollen eyes from crying, and pretended to comfort: "Don't cry boss! We're fucking Champions League winners! We've fucking won the quadruple! We're all fucking superheroes, I have to let Tianna know, I'm ......" He said as he was about to carry the coach off the ground, but caught a glimpse of the A-bomb walking towards Hans with a complicated gaze.

"Phil, I have to tell you something. ”

Phil stopped his movements and looked at the manager in his arms suspiciously.

Lu Ling began to speak. Before she could finish her sentence, Phil began to cry. Totally like a child. The QPR teammates who passed by looked at the people suspiciously. When she saw him crying, she began to cry uncontrollably.

Patrick walked over, and he hugged Phil first. Phil was crying exaggeratedly, and everyone in the nearby area noticed. The camera was so close that there were even two selfie sticks sticking out, both of which were blocked by Jacob and Benjamin.

Patrick hugged Lu Ling. "Tina, Tina......" he called softly. She sniffled in his arms, choked up and said something else, "Let someone go and see Hans......"

"Scott is long gone. Hans wanted to take the glass, I just heard Alice scold him......" Patrick whispered softly, touching the back of her head and looking up at the night sky, full of stars.

The song sounded again in the stands.

But she fell in love with an English man.

****

In the early morning of June 6. 0:34 a.m. Spanish time.

Lu Ling holds a huge Champions League trophy. She had lifted this heavy trophy too many times in the past hour and now had some sore shoulders.

She came to the media room before.

She had washed her face and changed into a new outfit. She had already told everyone the news in the locker room. The sudden silence in the dressing room was too much for her to bear, and she chose to go straight here with the trophy in hand.

Josh, the press officer, and Simon, the CEO, were with her to the door of the media room. She placed the trophy on the ground and hugged the two of them. Then she smiled at them, "Thank you." ”

Both Josh and Simon nodded.

Simon said, "Thank you, Christine. We are all like that. ”

Lu Ling kept smiling, and then, she picked up the trophy with one hand and walked into the press conference.

Loud applause rang out from inside the room.

****

In the 2020-2021 UEFA Champions League, the final winner was Queens Park Rangers from London. They became the sixth English team to lift the Champions League trophy and the first 'quadruple' in England's history – with Christine Lue's blue and white team sweeping all the trophies possible: the Champions League, Premier League, FA Cup and League Cup.

Twenty-two years ago, it was at Camp Nou that Sir Alex Ferguson's Manchester United won the only treble in England's history. And on this very night, Kristen Lue's side reached a new pinnacle and they will go down in history forever, and we can already rightly call them "the best team in the history of English football".

QPR's five goals in the final were scored by their top three scorers in the season rankings. Phil Beasley netted his 30th goal of the season, Leon Ferreira netted his 38th and Patrick Amber's hat-trick took his club tally for the season to a staggering 65. Before the Champions League was restructured, three players scored hat-tricks in the final, but the most recent one was back in 1969. No one has ever been able to achieve the same result as Patrick Amber since the Champions League was restructured, and he became the top scorer in Champions League history in a single season with 18 goals, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo's record of 17 goals in 2014. His final goal in the Champions League is believed to have been known to everyone, and it was the most fantastic moment since football was invented.

And after that match, Kristen Lue shocked to announce her resignation at a press conference, ending her contract with QPR with immediate effect. It has been speculated that it may be related to the romantic relationship between her and Patrick Amber, but no further clarification has been given by any of the parties involved.

But in any case, one myth after another created by "Queen" Kristen Lue's coaching so far has been pushed to the top this summer. Just as Manchester United's red empire rose from Camp Nou in '22 – we can expect a blue-and-white empire to announce its arrival in the same way.

—The Guardian, 6 June 2021

On the same day, the Telegraph, the Mail and Spain's Daily Sports revealed that many teams, including Manchester United and Manchester City in the Premier League, Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 and Barcelona in La Liga, were interested in the former QPR manager. A little later, two authoritative media outlets, the BBC and Sky Sports, revealed another shocking news: the FA is interested in having Kristen Lue take over the England national team.
