Chapter 432 - 3 minutes of stoppage time

'AC Milan have 56 per cent possession at the moment and it's clear they are in control of the game. But to win this game, it's not enough, they have to pay more," the commentator said of the current situation, "Real Madrid are trying to defend and counter-attack, but AC Milan's defensive system can stand the test. This match could well end in a draw. ”

Maldini is 38 years old, and his physical function is deteriorating, but his defensive experience is incomparable, and Ricardo has not been able to defend himself at all.

And Gattuso and Ambrosini also focused on defense, with their assistance, Maldini and Nesta controlled the defensive area very well, and Ricardo and his teammates were separated, making it difficult to play an effective combination.

Intellectually, it would have been nice to get a draw away from home, so Ricardo didn't put all his energy into attack, he put a lot of energy on defense, and many times, the team left only Van Nistelrooy waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.

In the 70th minute, both sides made substitutions, with AC Milan replacing Gilardino with Inzaghi and Capello replacing Raul with Higuain.

Milan still dominated possession and the attack remained constipated. Real Madrid were still waiting for opportunities to defend and counter-attack, but they were constantly defused by AC Milan's defenders.

As the game entered the final stages, AC Milan slowed down their attacking tempo and seemed willing to accept the fact that they were held to a draw at home. Real Madrid have an away goal in their hands, and of course they will not be stupid to attack, and they are happy to play with AC Milan.

Both sides are slow to get the ball, and they don't press the opponent, only speeding up when the ball hits their own danger zone.

However, some people seem not to be satisfied with this scoreline. In the 83rd minute, the calm on the field was broken.

When AC Milan was slow in midfield, Seedorf suddenly picked up speed and dribbled forward.

Against Real Madrid's defence, he distributed the ball to Oddo, who did not attempt a low cross, but handed it back to Seedorf, who had run to the edge of the box.

Elgra immediately stepped forward to defend, and Seedorf made a gesture to shoot, but the ball was flicked to Elgra's side and burst into the box. Elgra made a decisive tackle, the ball was kicked off the line, and Seedorf fell in the box.

The referee blew the whistle and ran over and pointed to the penalty spot!

"Penalty! The referee gave a penalty! The commentator exclaimed, "AC Milan are expected to break the deadlock!" ”

The Real Madrid players immediately surrounded them, and the crowd was excited. The game is already in the final minute, and this penalty may well have undone their entire hard work!

Ricardo was most angry. He shouted in English, "This is not the first time you have miscalculated!" First blew us a penalty, and now give them a penalty that doesn't exist, how much benefit do you receive from them! ”

Last season, he lost the Champions League title to Inter Milan in the final, and this season he certainly wants to make a comeback and regain the Champions League title.

Of course, it's not that he can't afford to lose, and if he fights with dignity, even if he loses, he doesn't have anything to say. But Real Madrid did suffer some unfair penalties in this game, and his anger completely exploded!

"The Real Madrid players were not satisfied with the decision, they thought that Elgra's defense was clean, he touched the ball first," the commentator said, "and we will look at the slow-motion replays. Seedorf broke through and Elgra tackled the ball from his side, and from that point of view, it was indeed a kick to the ball first, and then a hook to Seedorf's foot. ”

Referee Bakaskov ignored the Real Madrid player's complaint, he upheld the decision and showed yellow cards to Ricardo and Elgra! Both players will miss the next leg! ”

Like a basin of cold water poured on his head, the yellow card calmed down Ricardo. If he continues to entangle and get another yellow card, then don't wait for the next round, he has to leave the game now.

The penalty will not necessarily be scored, and even if it does, there is still hope for an equaliser! If he is also sent off, Real Madrid is really hopeless.

I can't give up on my own!

Real Madrid players are withdrawing one after another.

Pirlo took the penalty and calmly took a deep breath and ran to the bottom left corner of the net. Casillas pounces in the wrong direction!

"The score became 2:1 and AC Milan were leading at home! It's not the end of the world for Real Madrid, they have an away goal and only need a 1-0 win over AC Milan to get to the next round when they return home! ”

San Siro is boiling! AC Milan players flocked to Andrea Pirlo to celebrate. Pirlo, who had always looked very elegant, and even gave people the impression of sleepy eyes, opened his eyes angrily at this time, and waved his fist vigorously.

It was a tough game and it was a great way to win.

The Real Madrid players were not demoralized either, and conceding such a goal only made them angry!

After conceding the goal, Capello made a decisive immediate substitution, replacing the mediocre Gago with Cassano, and Reyes replacing Kaka, which was to strengthen the attack at the last minute.

Kaka was reluctant to be substituted, but as a good boy, Milan gave him a round of applause, and he was still very good in this game, although he did not score directly or assist, but did threaten the AC Milan goal on several occasions.

Carlo Ancelotti also made an immediate change, replacing Jankulovski with Kaladze and waving the team to recover.

Real Madrid started attacking as a matter of course, but in front of AC Milan, who were all on the defensive, they couldn't come up with a good solution, always rushing to end the attack with a long-range shot or a cross into the box.

Most of those long-range shots were unthreatening, and the crosses were almost entirely controlled by AC Milan. Only in the 89th minute, a long-range shot from Licardo flew off the post and scared AC Milan fans.

The fourth official announced three minutes of stoppage time, leaving only that much time left for Real Madrid. Capello sighed on the sidelines and signaled the team to slow down the pace of attack and pay attention to defense.

He's ready to accept the result, he can't just equalize, he can't concede another goal at the last minute.

But several attacking players up front were not content to be defeated.

So this situation happened on the field, Real Madrid's backfield players all stayed near the penalty area, the attacking players all stayed near the opponent's penalty area, and the backfield players got the ball and drove it up.

In the 93rd minute, the last minute of stoppage time, Elgra drove the ball into the AC Milan penalty area.
