Seeing that the referee's intention was so resolute, Sanchis had no choice but to give up the argument and return to the locker room step by step, leaving a lonely figure that made countless Real Madrid supporters cry.

"Red card! It's a red card! Real Madrid is in big trouble right now! Their captain and stalwart of the defence, Manuel Sanchez, was sent off by referee Frisker with a red card! Seeing Frisk kill Sanches, the Sky TV commentator didn't expect such a thing to happen, "Although Sanches's foul is quite bad, it will not be shown a red card, and this kind of tactical foul in the nature of physical collision outside the box is at most the level of a yellow card...... It seems that today's post-match press conference was lively. ”

The main central defender on his side was sent off, and Heynckes naturally did not dare to let the horse use a central defender to defend the attack of Fiorentina's three strikers in the rest of the time. After weighing the pros and cons, the German head coach decided to replace Davo Suker and Mijatovic in the front line and bring on two homegrown players – centre-forward Morientes and defender Karanka, the former will partner Raul up front, and the latter will be tasked with defending against the Fiorentina striker alongside Hierro.

This is also a reluctant move for Heynckes, who must ensure the integrity of the backline after Sanches is gone, and this will inevitably require some sacrifice in attack.

With one man less, Real Madrid will not be able to organise their attacks as unhurriedly as they have done before, so Morientes, who is more impactful and younger, is better suited to the current situation than the young Davo Suker and Mijatovic.

At the same time, Capello also made substitution adjustments, although after the team doctor's examination, Ronaldo's injuries are basically hard injuries, and they can be healed after a few days of rest, and there will be no sequelae. But to be on the safe side, Capello replaced the alien and brought on Rui Costa.

Capello opted for Costa instead of a striker for two reasons: on the one hand, Fiorentina are now lacking a good receiver from close set-pieces, and Rui's presence can make up for this; On the other hand, after Ronaldo's departure, Fiorentina, who have Vieri and Inzaghi, are still guaranteed to score, but they lack a man who can assist Effenberg in delivering shells for Inzaghi and Vieri. Ze Roberto is also capable of tackling the task, but Capello feels that the more experienced and capable Portuguese is more suitable.

After both teams made substitutions, Fiorentina began to take the direct free-kick that Ronaldo spelled.

The free-kick taker is undoubtedly Rui Costa, who has just come on as a substitute, and Effenberg and Redondo have average set-pieces and will naturally not compete with the Portuguese for the right to take free kicks; Robert Carlos may have stepped into the top echelons with his shocking free-kick at the Four Nations Invitational, but the close-range free-kick wasn't suitable.

The Real Madrid players are on, while Effenberg and Vieri are sneaking into the wall of Real Madrid players in an attempt to. The Real Madrid players, who soon discovered the abnormality, certainly could not let these two "spies" run into their own walls to make trouble, so a dispute naturally broke out.

Rui Costa stood quietly in front of the ball, waiting for Frisker to blow the whistle, while the Swedish referee was busy resolving the dispute caused by Effenberg and others, and he didn't bother to blow the whistle for a while.

In the end, with the mediation of the referee, Vieri and Effenberg were at the very edge of the wall, and although such a position was still a bit dangerous in Ilgener's opinion, he could not object again, so he had to instruct his teammates to squeeze Vieri and Effenberg as much space as possible to close the hole.

Friesk looked at the distance between the wall and the ball, and after thinking that there was no problem, he blew the whistle in his mouth!

Rui Costa, who had been preparing for a long time, heard the whistle and after a short run, kicked the ball out with his right foot!

Seeing Costa's free kick, Effingberg and Vieri immediately fell on the spot at the first time according to the original tactics!

Costa's free-kick was so well controlled that it went around the wall of Real Madrid players, flew right above the heads of Effenberg and Vieri, and after a big turn, went straight to the Real Madrid goal behind the wall!

Seeing this, Ilgena immediately jumped up to save and tried to keep the ball out of the gate. But Costa's free-kick was not only curvacant, but also quite fast, and Ilgna's previous position was a little further away from the far post, and these factors combined to lead to only one result......

“Goooooal！ The ball is in! Five to three! The Fiorentina stubbornly managed to level the aggregate score at 6-6! The commentator shouted, "Costa scored a pretty beautiful direct free-kick!" The delicate cooperation between him and his teammates caused Real Madrid's carefully built human wall to collapse! ”

"Not counting stoppage time, fifteen minutes to go! After a brief period of despair, Fiorentina finally regained hope of qualifying for the Champions League final! ”

"Although Real Madrid still has the advantage of scoring more away goals, it is still a big question mark whether Real Madrid's poor defensive quality can withstand the devastation of Fiorentina players with one less player." Compared with the relatively cautious commentator, Rijkaard is obviously more optimistic about Fiorentina, "Although Fiorentina conceded three goals in this game, anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is not Fiorentina's real defensive intensity at all, otherwise Real Madrid's counterattack would not be able to penetrate Fiorentina's defense so easily......"

"Well, Frank, you're right, if it weren't for Real Madrid's 3-1 win in the first leg, with Fiorentina's state in this game, Real Madrid's loss would have been a sure thing." The commentator also agreed with Rijkaard's analysis, "You see, the Fiorentina players did not celebrate the goal on the sidelines, but quickly withdrew to their own half to wait for kick-off, and Effenberg even ran to the Real Madrid gate to pick up the ball, it seems that he wanted to get the game back up as soon as possible......"

Just when Rijkaard and the commentator were saying a word, Effenberg and Vieri, who ran back to the midfield with the football in their arms, said: "Cheer me up!" The game isn't over yet! It's not time to relax yet! What Fiorentina need is goals! More goals! ”
