The 10-minute break before extra time was a valuable period of recovery for both players. Atletico Madrid's age structure is relatively young, and Simeone's daily physical reserves are very tight, and he has a more advantage than Bayern at this time.

Wen Zhihao walked back to the sidelines, Gabi looked excited, enthusiastically handed over mineral water and towels, and did the work of the staff. Wen Zhihao said thank you very uncomfortably, and joked with him: "If you were on the field, the game might have ended long ago...... Of course, we will be the winners. ”

Gabi smiled: "As long as you're here, it doesn't make a big difference whether you have me or not, anyway, the champion is the whole team, and it's not bad to experience the feeling of lying down the crown once." ”

Although Gabi was unavailable, Simeone put him in the squad of 23 for the final and traveled with the team, and the club fully recognized his contribution throughout the season.

The physical fitness of both teams has reached the limit, and Simeone separately told Wen Zhihao that he must pay attention to controlling the ball in overtime, not seeking to look good, but only pursuing offensive efficiency. Take one or two chances and you can win with one blow.

Wen Zhihao listened very carefully, nodding from time to time, he has not experienced overtime in his career, Simeone, as a person who has come over, every word is a very valuable experience.

Extra-time lasted 15 minutes each and 2 halves, with Atletico taking the lead in the first half.

Wen Zhihao patiently passed the ball back to the backfield, and after the patient pass of the midfielder and Saul, he pushed forward layer by layer, and Bayern was much more cautious in the extra time. The root cause is that the physical strength is not enough to support the continuous switchback run.

Both Simeone and Heynckes still have a substitution in their hands. Both managers are very experienced, with a long stalemate in regulation time, with both sides keeping their hands behind for extra time.

On and off the field, the two teams competed patiently in all directions. With Wen Zhihao sitting in the midfield and dispatching back and forth, the Atletico Madrid players have confidence and perform more calmly.

He Wei is very satisfied with the momentum shown by Atletico: "As long as Atletico keeps the ball, it will be a great drain on Bayern's energy. ”

Xu Yang added with a smile next to him: "After all, Atletico Madrid's first two Champions League finals were overtime, and they both lost the game in the end. ”

He Wei was speechless for a while, but it was not appropriate to be cold at this time, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Xu Yang's words are not wrong, in the Champions League final of Atletico Madrid in recent seasons, the first Champions League final in the 2013-14 season, was scored three goals by Real Madrid in half an hour, which was a failed collapse." In the 2015-16 season, it stubbornly dragged on to the penalty shootout, only to lose in the end. After another two seasons, this time I believe that Atletico Madrid can have the last laugh, but there are only three things, and it is time for Jitai to come. ”

……

In the first half of overtime, the score did not change, and even the threat of offense was sharply reduced, Wen Zhihao consciously controlled the firepower output on the field, of course, according to He Wei's words, this is a strategy to accumulate energy for the second half of overtime.

There is no rest time between the two halves of overtime, and the two sides can directly start the second half when they exchange venues, but in practice, the referee team will allow players from both sides to go to the sidelines to hydrate according to the weather and physical exertion, which is equivalent to a short pause in a basketball game, and experienced coaches often use this time to emphasize the details that should be paid attention to one last time.

Both managers opted to use the time to play their final card, with Simeone replacing Costa with Gameiro. Most of Costa's physical energy today was spent in the physical struggle with Boateng, and it was obvious that he could not take a step in the first half of extra time, and he was completely relying on perseverance to hold on.

On the other hand, Heynckes replaced Ribery with 21-year-old young Koeman based on the same consideration.

Gameiro, like Torres, has been squeezed out of playing time by Costa since the second half of the league season, and they are both victims of Simeone's CG combination, but neither of them expected to get a chance to play at such a crucial moment, and Gameiro took every step on the pitch with a sonorous force, feeling like walking into the hall of glory on the way to the top of Europe.

"Kevin Gameiro, he's lucky to have the manager's trust at this time. Although his number of appearances in the team has decreased significantly, it doesn't matter. Now he has the best chance to prove himself! ”

Wen Zhihao observed that Gameiro was eager to perform, and consciously gave the ball to him in the second half of extra time. It's a pity that Gameiro missed several opportunities because of the lack of battle for a long time and the poor quality of the final kick.

Gameiro gave Wen Zhihao a thumbs up, and at the same time pointed at himself, the meaning was very clear, the pass was very good, I didn't score, my fault.

However, these shots allowed Atletico to regain their initiative to suppress Bayern. In the 115th minute of extra time, Gameiro was one-on-one with the adducted Javi Martinez in the penalty area, Neuer stared at Gameiro with his feet, but this time Gameiro faced the opportunity and corrected his mistake in time, choosing to push sideways to the middle of the penalty area, and this choice suddenly made the Bayern defense fall into chaos. Both Vidal and Hummels were drawn into the box during the previous attack, and it happened that the penalty line was in a vacuum!

Outside the penalty area, Saul and Wen Zhihao both have a long-range shot. After Saul ran two steps, he found that Wen Zhihao was running very resolutely, and out of trust, he stopped and gave this opportunity to Wen Zhihao.

Bayern fans did their best to boo from the stands, hoping to disrupt Wen Zhihao, while Atletico Madrid and Chinese fans suppressed their ecstasy, but the wide-eyed expressions of joy on their faces already showed the trust they had in Wen Zhihao.

Wen Zhihao responded with practical actions, and the right-footed volley was played to a very high level, the ball hit the neutral post and bounced back into the Bayern goal, although Neuer had tried his best to stretch his body, but such a shooting line had exceeded the goalkeeper's limit, which was to make the goalkeeper stare dryly.

The Olympic Stadium in Kyiv was instantly overwhelmed by the frantic cheers of Atletico Madrid fans, many of whom jumped onto their seats and beat their chests to vent their passion.

He Wei looked at Wen Zhihao, who was pressed under him by his teammates, and was so excited that he shouted hoarsely: "Hat trick!" Wen Zhihao became the fourth player in the history of the Champions League final to score a hat-trick! This achievement was unattainable even by the two great players at that time, Messi and Ronaldo. Ha ha! How wonderful it feels! This night is destined to belong to Wen Zhihao, and it is also a magical night of the Champions League for Chinese fans! ”

In the history of Champions League finals, Real Madrid legend Di Stéfano scored a hat-trick twice, and AC Milan's Praty once did. With this hat-trick, Wen Zhihao not only became the first active player in this record. And shoulder to shoulder with an ancestor-level legend like Di Stefano.
