Chapter 769: Two Goals Ahead
The scene fell into an eerie silence, and the fans on both sides failed to react at this moment!
The lights of the rainbow bridge at Wembley Stadium seemed to flicker a little.
At least in Klopp's eyes.
When the referee pointed to the penalty spot, the Germans were so blind that they almost didn't sit on the grass.
Just a few minutes ago, the opponent was sent off, and Dortmund at that time was still planning to completely crush Manchester City in one go, equalize the score, and overtake the score!!
The continuous attack also made Dortmund fans, including Klopp, very optimistic.
But now.
After the referee gave a yellow card, Dortmund was awarded a penalty.
The ups and downs of life are so exciting.....
Rumble!!!!
Boos and cheers rang out at the same time.
The fans reacted.
The commentators also reacted!
"Penalty!! The referee awarded a penalty!! Italian referee Rizzoli once again made a decision that had a huge impact on the game!! This time it was a penalty!! ”
'The drama of the game grew stronger and stronger, with Manchester City's full-back Kieran Trippier being sent off and a penalty shortly afterwards to give them a chance to extend the score!!'
"The Borussia Dortmund players were protesting, they surrounded the referee Rizzoli and the players were very excited!! The current scene is very bad for Dortmund, who are behind the score, and they still hope that the referee will change the decision! ”
This is obviously impossible.
How could Rizzoli easily overturn his own decision.
At this time, the whole process of Manchester City winning the penalty was also shown on the TV screen.
Kaka burst into the box with the ball and Sven Bender grabbed Kaka's shirt with his hands.
After that, Kaka fell to the ground as if he had been shot by an AK47.
"Svende pulled Kaka in the box, there was no problem with the penalty!!" This is England's commentator Lightkinson, who stood in the commentary booth and shouted excitedly.
At the same time, Duan Xuan expressed a similar opinion not far away, cheering for the referee's decision.
"Kaka's fall is too exaggerated, even if Svende really gets started, but it will definitely not let Kaka fall to the ground like this!!" This is the opinion of the German commentator.
It is often not the head that determines a person's point of view, but the buttocks......
For Borussia Dortmund, the penalty was naturally out of the question, so they were protesting loudly, and Klopp is still tangled with the fourth official.
And for Manchester City, winning a penalty is naturally something to celebrate.
The players pulled Kaka up from the box and slapped him on the head and shoulders, and the substitutes and coaches on the sidelines raised their arms and chanted!
The Manchester City fans in the stands are also cheering!
If they can score a penalty, Manchester City will be 2-0 up!
The impact of this game can be described as quite far-reaching!
With Manchester City's ability, even if it is one less player, with a two-goal lead, Dortmund can only hope for a miracle if they want to turn the tables, not to mention that Manchester City's counter-attacking ability is here, who dares to say that they will not score next?
So the key now is, this penalty.... Can it be scored in the end?
After the celebration, Gao Bo also calmed down, and he looked inside the field, expecting the penalty to go in.
At this point, referee Rizzoli verbally warned Klopp on the sidelines.
Although he and Klopp had no grievances in the past and no enmity in recent days, Gao Bo still thought maliciously, why didn't Rizzoli punish Klopp?
If Klopp is also sent off, the game will be really stable.
.......
Dortmund's protests were naturally null and void.
This penalty is indisputable!
So after more than a minute of entanglement, the referee scolded the Dortmund players and dispersed them, signaling Manchester City to prepare a penalty!
There is no change in the penalty and City are ready to take it.
City's first penalty taker was Antoine Griezmann, followed by Kaka, then Eden Hazard and then David Silva.
This order generally does not change much.
Antoine Griezmann had a chance to score a brace in this game, but he took the ball and stuffed it into Hazard's arms.
Eden Hazard has scored 10 goals in the Champions League, and if he can score two goals in this game, he will have a chance to share the Champions League Golden Boot with Cristiano Ronaldo, and if he can score three goals, he will have the Golden Boot alone.
Of course, it's too difficult to score three goals, but two goals can still be thought of.
If he scores this penalty, won't he be able to achieve the goal with another goal?
"Take it, Aiden!!" Griezmann tapped Hazard on the shoulder and ran away.
Hazard was stunned, but he didn't live up to the kindness of his teammates, saying that I, Hazard, would never rely on penalties to win the Golden Boot or anything like that.
This penalty is still really fragrant...
So people saw Hazard holding the football and slowly walking to the penalty spot.
........
How much pressure is it to kick penalties in a Champions League final?
Now Hazard can be regarded as having experienced it.
Even as he kept taking deep breaths, his heart involuntarily increased the rhythm of the beat.
Cheers from the stands drifted past their ears as Hazard slowly placed the ball on the spot.
"Hazard!! Eden Hazard came to take the penalty!! The narrator shouted excitedly.
"It's a lot of pressure to take penalties at this time!! We'll just have to see if Hazard can withstand the pressure!! ”
Eden Hazard had just put the ball on when the Borussia Dortmund players came in to find fault.
In fact, there is not much they can say, the Dortmund players just want to disrupt the rhythm of Hazard's penalty by doing so.
In the place where the referee couldn't see, Papastathopoulos kept kicking the piece of turf near the penalty spot with the steel spikes on the sole of his shoe - that is where Hazard would stand on his feet, and if this piece of turf was kicked soft, the probability of Hazard being unstable on his feet would be much higher.
Borussia Dortmund exhausted all sorts of ways to interfere with the penalty.
They have to do the same in such an important moment.
If you fall behind by two goals, even if you have one more person than your opponent, it will be difficult to recover it.
Naturally, there are other Manchester City players who go to Dortmund to pull away, and at this time, the players who take penalties must not fall into the conflict and entanglement with the opponent, which is the way of the opponent.
In the end, with the intervention of referee Rizzoli, only Hazard and Dortmund's goalkeeper Weidenfeller were left in the box.
Rizzoli looked at Ken Hazard and then at Weidenfeller, who was standing on the goal line with his eyes fixed on Hazard.
He blew the whistle!
With more than a billion fans around the world watching, Hazard is starting to run!
One-step!
Two Steps!!
Pause!
Change of pace!
Hasten!
Bang!!!!!
The ball was whipped to the right by Eden Hazard!
And Weidenfeller pounced on that side too!
He touched the football with his fingertips, and the stands were full of exclamations!
However, Hazard's shot was powerful and tricky!
Even if Weidenfeller judged the right direction, he couldn't save the ball!
“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!!!!!”
"The ball is in!! Two-to-!! Hazard!! Eden Hazard's 11th Champions League goal of the season!! ”
"Two to zero!! Manchester City, who played one man less, continued to extend the score!! They get a two-goal lead!! ”
Wembley Stadium, cheers swept the stands!!
