Chapter 342: Eighth in History
Before Zhou Yi scored, there was no warning, although he ran into the penalty area, but the work of grabbing points rarely came to him.
For Real Madrid, Zhou Yi's biggest threat is not in the penalty area, but outside the penalty area, his passing, thinking, and vision are all things that are very threatening to Real Madrid.
Even if he wanted to score, Zhou Yi should have scored from a distance outside the penalty area.
So when Zhou Yi first stopped the ball with his chest in the penalty area and shook off Khedira, and then pumped the football into the goal with his leg on the spot, everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect the goal to be born......
There are not so many bells and whistles, just such a simple kick, and football is actually in!
After Zhou Yi confirmed that he had scored, he turned around and ran to the camera in the corner flag area, and then he ran to the camera, turned around and showed the jersey number and name on his body.
His teammates rushed to him in high spirits. They were just as surprised as the stunned Real Madrid players, but their surprise was a surprise, and the surprise of the Real Madrid players was a real surprise......
The Dortmund players hugged each other.
The Dortmund fans at the scene sang the "Song of Zhou Yi" loudly.
"Zhou Yi! he took the lead for Dortmund!"
"What a wonderful shot!
"Zhou Yi!Zhou Yi!Zhou Yi!!He is the first player to score in the Champions League final for two consecutive years after the Champions League restructuring!!" He Ping's excited saliva splashed, "Counting before the restructuring, Zhou Yi is the eighth player to score in the Champions League final for two consecutive years! He is the top ten in the entire history of the Champions League!"
Since the restructuring of the Champions League, until just now, it is true that no player has been able to score in the Champions League final for two consecutive years. There have been players who have scored in both Champions League finals, such as former Real Madrid legend Raul Gonzalez who scored in the Champions League final in 2000 and 2002, Samuel Eto'o in the Champions League final when he played for Barcelona in 2006 and 2009, Lionel Messi who also scored in the 2009 and 2011 Champions League finals, and Cristiano Ronaldo's recent goal in this game also made him score in both Champions League finals.
It's just that he has scored in the finals for two consecutive years, and there hasn't been one.
The most recent player to score in a Champions League final for two consecutive years was Bayern Munich's Franz Roth, who scored in both the 1975 and 1976 Champions League finals.
Further ahead was his club team-mate Gerd "The Bomber" Müller, who scored in the 1974 and 1975 Champions League finals.
The man who scored in two consecutive Champions League finals in 1962 and 1963 belonged to Benfica's famous star "Panther" Eusebio.
In the 1961 and 1962 Champions League finals, two players from the same team scored: Benfica's Mario Coluna and José Aguas.
These three years are the last period of Benfica's domination of European football. As Benfica manager Gutmann fell out with the club's management, the character coach walked away and threw down a famous curse: "No Portuguese club will be able to win two European trophies in the next 100 years." And Benfica would never have won the European championship without me!"
At the time, everyone thought it was boring talk, knowing that Benfica had just defended the Champions League.
But that's how the curse worked.
The curse was split in two parts, with the Portuguese side shattered in 2004 by Jose Mourinho's Porto, who won the Champions League in 1987 and 2004.
But the curse on Benfica has been in effect, and on May 14 this year, in the just-concluded Europa League final, Benfica lost to Sevilla in a penalty shootout, helping Sevilla defend the Europa League while continuing Gutman's curse.
The year after Gutmann's curse, Benfica reached the Champions League final again, losing 2-1 to AC Milan despite Eusebio's goal, giving the Italian giants their first Champions League title in the club's history.
Since then, Benfica has reached eight European finals, including five Champions League and three Europa League finals, but these eight times, Benfica have all come back with a bang......
Gutman's curse was like a mountain above the heads of everyone at the Benfica club, so that they could never turn over. Even if Gutman's proud disciple Eusebio personally went to sweep the tomb of his mentor and asked him to open the net, it would not be useful......
Let's go back to the players who have scored in consecutive Champions League finals. Benfica's successive goalscorers have all been swept up by Real Madrid. Because those years also happened to be the years when Real Madrid ruled the Champions League.
Francisco Gento scored in the Champions League final in 1957 and 1958.
But the pinnacle of this record belongs to Di Stefano. He scored in five Champions League finals in 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959 and 1960. Scored in five Champions League finals and five years in a row...... With no such record before and probably no one in the future, modern football competition is becoming more and more exciting, and it is difficult for a team to reach the Champions League final two years in a row, let alone five years in a row...... Is this treating other European giants as if they were nothing?
Although Zhou Yi is still a long way from the legend of Stefano, he is now at least among the top 10 players in the entire history of the Champions League.
At the same time, he is also the first person in Chinese football.
※※※
“...... Carlo Ancelotti had been brought on by Marcelona and Alvaro Morata in an attempt to strengthen the attack, but now he has conceded goals...... It was a real slap in the face for Ancelotti......"
In the television broadcast, Ancelotti sat in his position with a solemn expression.
In the 77th minute, with more than 10 minutes to go, the team fell behind, which was definitely not a good thing for his team.
When the game resumed, Zinedine Zidane's assistant looked more anxious than Carlo Ancelotti next to him, and he kept rushing to the sidelines and yelling at the players to attack and attack again and again to try for an equaliser.
As long as you can equalize the score in 90 minutes, you still have a chance.
Klopp, on the other hand, also made adjustments after taking the lead, allowing the team to shrink the defense, facing Real Madrid's fierce attack, first solidifying the defense, and then waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, just like the last goal.
As long as they can withstand Real Madrid's attack in these few minutes, as time goes by, Real Madrid players will be more impatient, and then Borussia Borussia will be invincible.
In the 80th minute, Real Madrid had two consecutive shots, the second of which was blocked by Sven Bender with his body, and Real Madrid won a corner.
Luka Modric went to take the corner and the box was packed with players from both sides.
Zhou Yi didn't go in to join in the fun, he was outside the penalty area, ready to take the second landing point, Yan Min didn't come back to defend, his stature was also not high, he lacked enough strength, even if he withdrew to the door to participate in the defense, it would not play a role, and it might be helpful.
It's better to stay in front and have a chance to counterattack.
Real Madrid's corner kick was certainly their chance to score, but it was also Dortmund's chance to counter-attack.
When everyone in the box was in place, referee Quipes blew the whistle.
Luka Modric runs and kicks the ball towards goal!
Cristiano Ronaldo is naturally the target of Dortmund's defenders, who are going to go for the top spot, but Hummels next to him does not give him a chance to grab the ball.
At this time, Sergio Ramos suddenly killed from behind Cristiano Ronaldo, overtook Ronaldo and Hummels, and jumped high with almost no markers!
Zhou Yi, who saw this scene outside the forbidden area, was beating wildly, and shouted in his heart.
For Ramos, this opportunity is so great!
Sure enough, before the other Dortmund players had time to react, Ramos had already reached the football, and he shook his head and pushed the football to the back point!
Goalkeeper Weidenfeller was ill-prepared for Ramos' powerful header near the penalty spot, and by the time he saw the ball fly and save, it was too late......
He couldn't touch the soccer ball, which grazed the far post and flew into the goal!
"Ramos—ahhhh!!hh "Real Madrid equalised! In the 80th minute, they equalized! Real Madrid came back to life! Ramos was the first Spanish defender to score in a Champions League final since Maquitos in the 1956 Champions League final!"
The Spanish commentator was excited, Marcel Leif regretted: "Ramos...... Be careful! Oops! Lost the goal! In the 80th minute, Borussia Dortmund had their goal breached for the third time!"
"There is no way to do this, Ramos has no one to defend, and when he jumps up to the top of the football, there is only one ......end left," He Ping was also frustrated. 'Sergio Ramos has scored six goals in his last seven games and has scored three times with a Champions League header this season, the most of any player in the Champions League this season...... Borussia Dortmund made a big mistake in defending the corners and ignored this man, who is a more terrible person than Ronaldo!"
Ramos excitedly ran to the corner flag area to hug Luka Modric, who had provided the assist, and his Real Madrid team-mates caught up behind.
The Dortmund players, on the other hand, looked depressed with their heads down.
Frustrating indeed. It was not long before the opponent equalized......
Falling from the clouds into the mud pond all of a sudden, this kind of drop is really not something ordinary people can bear. 7410
