Chapter 120: Ninth Master!
In the stands at this time, the Milan fans were also cheering passionately.
It's 2:1 now! Milan leads!
There are only about 10 minutes left in the game.
In other words, in just ten minutes, AC Milan will regain the Champions League title!
This dream, which seemed a little out of reach not so long ago, is now getting closer and closer to reality!
But Bayern clearly don't want to give up.
They have also sprinted several times to win the Champions League again, and this time they certainly don't want to fall to the last end.
Both sides fought.
These last ten minutes will determine who will go to heaven and who will go to hell.
Now, Milan have one foot in the gates of heaven, but the game is not over yet, who can say for sure?
At the end of the game, everyone's physical fitness began to be stretched, and now it is more of a contest of wills.
So, the players on the field began hand-to-hand combat.
From the broadcast footage, you can see the painful expressions of the players.
Each collision would drain their already exhausted physical energy again.
Every pass requires all your might.
Every time they defend and attack, it is the muffled sound of them running hard.
In the 88th minute, Bayern asked for a substitution because captain Lahm was already cramping.
Such a tragic game made his body really unbearable.
There is really no way, they are the backward side, they can only force up the attack, and the right side where Lahm is located is the main direction of Bayern's attack.
At the same time, Milan's main attack direction is also there......
The competition between the two sides on that flank was the fiercest, so Rahm's consumption was huge, and he really couldn't play the whole game.
Milan also made a substitution.
Ibrahimovic, another goal-scorer, was substituted and Inzaghi came on.
The crowd erupted in applause.
"We can note that it wasn't just the Milan fans who applauded the substitution. Many Bayern fans also stood up and applauded the veteran Inzaghi. ”
"Before the game, Inzaghi announced that this Champions League final would be the last game of his career.
"The coaching staff in Milan is also very humane, giving Jiu Ye the opportunity to say goodbye to fans all over the world!"
'It would be a great ending to end his illustrious career with a Champions League trophy.'
"He just celebrated his 39th birthday two days ago, and after this game, he will probably take off his shirt and change into a suit and become a football coach."
"Let's bless him and wish him the best in coaching. Super Pippo forever! ……”
And after this substitution, Milan's front line has shrunk even more, as long as they keep this result, they can win and win the championship!
And Bayern is already on top of the army.
This is also one of the reasons why Milan brought on Inzaghi.
Of course, it is to show Jiu Ye in the last game of his career to accept the tribute of the fans, but at the same time, he also has a very clear tactical purpose!
That is to take advantage of Inzaghi's characteristics and play Bayern's counterattack in front!
In this case, Inzaghi is even better than Ibrahimovic.
Soon, the game was already in stoppage time.
Another Bayern attack.
This should be the last chance to attack.
Franck Franck Ribery dribbled to the wing, looked at Gomez with his arms raised in the box, and crossed with his feet in the air.
In the final race against time, the 45-degree penalty area is undoubtedly the one that most teams will choose, and Bayern is no exception.
The tall centre-forward Gomes jumped between Van Dijk and Thiago Silva.
All three of them were fighting for the top, and time seemed to stand still, and everyone looked up.
This time it was Van Dijk who got it!
Syllable!!!
The ball was thumped out of the box and landed right at the feet of N'Golo Kante, who was standing at the top of the box.
And at the same time, near the midline, Inzaghi also did not hesitate to start!
Since almost all the players in Bayern's attack are now pressed near the Milan penalty area, leaving only one goalkeeper Neuer at the back, Inzaghi has no defenders around him when he starts.
Kante is also quick with his eyes and feet, and he is directly a long pass forward.
At the moment of the pass, Inzaghi was still behind the halfway line, so there was no possibility of offside!
Seconds later, Inzaghi dribbled into the opposition penalty area, leaving Neuer alone.
Neuer attacked, and Inzaghi took advantage of inertia to wipe to the right and wanted to pass the goalkeeper.
That's what he did in the '07 Champions League final.
At that time, he also received Kaka's wonderful pass and got a single chance, and after breaking into the penalty area against offside, he passed the attacking Liverpool goalkeeper Reina, and then pushed the empty goal from a tight angle to help Milan seal the victory.
And this time, Neuer didn't give Inzaghi a chance to repeat the scene.
He fell to the ground and threw himself sideways.
Didn't save the ball.
But it hit Inzaghi's feet!
Inzaghi suddenly lost his balance and rolled over.
The referee's whistle sounded immediately.
Penalty kick!
Undisputed penalty!
The referee ran over and pulled out a card at Neuer.
Neuer looked up and saw that it was red!
Red!
Since Inzaghi's solo shot is already inevitable, Neuer's red card for knocking down Inzaghi is irrefutable.
Neuer didn't say anything, and walked straight to the sidelines, taking off his gloves as he went.
Bayern had no choice but to prepare the substitute goalkeeper for the game.
Fortunately, they haven't used up all the substitutions yet, otherwise they would have to use the players on the pitch to play the goalkeeper on the spot.
At this time, the Milan fans in the Allianz Arena had already sung cheerful celebratory songs, while the Bayern fans, who were supposed to be the owners, were silent.
The game was coming to an end, the score was 2-1, one man less, and a penalty was awarded, and there was no suspense in this game.
Milan are about to win!
On the sidelines, Pan Yi stood up and shouted at the court: "Let Pippo punish, let Pippo punish this ball!" ”
Allegri also stood, motioning for everyone to carry out the order.
In fact, there is no need for them to shout.
Milan's first penalty taker Ibrahimovic has already been played, while second penalty taker Mohamed Salah has no intention of getting out into the box to get the ball.
Everyone was looking at Inzaghi.
If he creates a penalty himself, let him take it himself!
In the Champions League final, it doesn't get much better than ending your career with a goal and a title!
Inzaghi certainly understands the good intentions of his coach and team-mates.
Of course, he will not refuse.
With his trademark charming smile on his face, Inzaghi walked to the penalty spot.
He picked up the ball and kissed it affectionately.
Then, put down the ball and slowly take a few steps back.
Run-up, shoot!
The ball goes into the net!!
