Cesc Fabregas split the ball in midfield and passed straight to Eden Hazard.

In the tactical arrangement before the game, Mourinho emphasized that in addition to doing a good job in defense, the rest was to use Hazard as a flashpoint attack as much as possible.

Eden Hazard, who had been in the doldrums for almost a season, finally ushered in a recovery at the end of the season.

If Jose is a guarantee of Chelsea's unbeaten run, then Eden Hazard will have a significant impact on Chelsea's attacking efficiency.

Diego Costa is adept at wrestling with opposition defenders in the Premier League, but it is difficult for Costa to take advantage of Ramos and Pepe, where both sides know each other.

In the 5th minute, the two sides played a wave of climax.

Ivan crosses from near the corner flag on the right.

In the box, Costa and Eden Hazard drew most of the opposition defence.

That allowed Nemanja Matic, who had cut in from behind, to find a shot on goal.

Unfortunately, Nemanja Matic's shot did not hit the power and the ball speed was completely insufficient, and in the end Navas directly confiscated the ball.

Keylor Navas quickly takes a goal kick.

Real Madrid had a chance to counter-attack quickly.

Bale drove the ball forward on the right and was surrounded by three Chelsea players, but it was still possible for Bale to break through.

On the outside of the lower right corner of the penalty area, seeing that Bale was about to burst into the penalty area with the ball, William, who returned to the defense in time, decisively put down Bale.

Real Madrid were awarded the first direct free-kick of the game.

Bale stood at the penalty spot.

Suddenly, a sense of crisis came over José.

It shouldn't be.

José believes that with his current abilities, there should be no one who can pose a threat to him.

Although Jose is confident, he is cautious on the field and still improves his concentration.

Bale took a free-kick and instead of hitting the goal, he passed the ball into the six-yard box.

Jose wants to attack, but because he is a little slower, the risk of attacking becomes great.

From 3 meters in front of goal, Benzema grabbed a left-footed shot before everyone else.

José finally knows where the sense of crisis comes from.

If it was before, a 3-meter ultra-close-range shot, Jose would most likely have to use an external plug-in to save unless he was standing on the shooting route.

But this is no longer the case, and Jose's reflexes and speed are far greater than before.

Then it was only seen that in the face of Benzema's close-range shot in front of goal, Jose stretched out his left foot in a panic and then luckily blocked the ball.

'Well, the Chelsea goalkeeper is too lucky, right? Can this also be blocked? Some fans sighed.

Little did they know that Jose's ability to block Benzema's shot was not lucky, but intentional.

Since his physical evolution, Jose has been extremely sure that he can save almost every shot in this world, which is undoubtedly something that has made his side unbeaten from the beginning of the game.

But Jose soon realised what all teams would do if they knew they wouldn't be able to penetrate Jose's goal under normal circumstances.

That is to beat Mourinho the way Mourinho did.

Since you can't break through Jose's door, you can just defend with peace of mind, and then no one will want to score.

In this case, the knockout round is fine, after all, even if there is a penalty shootout in the end, the winner will be decided, but in the league of the points system, it will be very troublesome.

In 38 rounds of the Premier League, if you draw 38 games in extreme cases, you can only get 38 points in the end, and there is a danger of relegation in the Premier League.

An unbeaten team ends up relegated, and that's not a joke.

So Jose has made his own decision, that is, he will still save the opponent's shot, but he will pretend to be very lucky.

José's approach is to give the other party hope to break the door, but in fact, this hope is like a mirage, visible but never touched.

If people knew the truth, they would probably choose to go directly to kill José.

That's not how dogs are walked.

The game continues.

In the 11th minute, Carvajal tackled Hazard and the referee showed the first yellow card.

Real Madrid's counter-attack was very efficient.

And Bale seems to be very active, whether it is on the right or left, you can see him.

'Bale, wake up, you're not a Tottenham player anymore, Chelsea don't have a feud with Real Madrid.' Suddenly, a fan popped up with such a sentence.

Seeing this sentence, someone laughed on the spot: "This is the Champions League final, and you have to fight if you have a grudge or not." ”

While the fans were teasing each other, Bale came to the left side to get the ball.

In the rib position, when Bale was about to burst forward with the ball, Azpilicueta fouled Bale and tripped him with an outstretched foot.

Real Madrid won a free-kick from the left-hand position.

With the penalty spot too far from goal, fans on both sides didn't pay much attention to the free-kick.

Only Jose, even if he is already full of strength, still meticulously directs his teammates to do a good job of defense.

It's just that Jose's reputation is a little worse after all, and some of the veteran players are not too interested in Jose's cautious approach.

Kroos takes a free-kick and crosses diagonally to the right side of the box.

Bale gave up following the crowd towards goal, instead dropping back at high speed and getting to the ball unmarked.

I saw Bale's head rub and the ball flew towards the goal.

Bale's header seemed to lack power, and before it reached the goal, it was already falling rapidly.

Wrong.

Bale's header wasn't for the goal, it was for the ferry to goal.

In the middle of the penalty area, less than 2 meters in front of the goal, Jose flew out.

But at the same time, Ramos also flew to kill.

In the same way that Karim Benzema had scored ten minutes earlier, Ramos had the same chance to shoot from close range, only this time closer to goal.

Bale was going to put the shot straight in front of goal.

Regardless of whether Ramos was suspected of offside, for the sake of insurance, Jose instantly burst out of his strength.

Just as Ramos was about to touch the ball, Jose was already in place.

Ramos wanted to speed up the pace of his shots, but he couldn't get Jose as fast as he could.

In the shocked eyes of everyone, Jose took the first step to block the ball.

It was only then that fans on both sides reacted, and an inconspicuous free-kick opportunity almost resulted in a goal, and if it weren't for Jose's quick reaction, Chelsea would have fallen behind.

In the first half, the two sides played 0-0.

Real Madrid defended very well and it was difficult for Chelsea to find the back of the net.

As for Chelsea, the players finally woke up to the fact that the opponent was Real Madrid, and as long as a small mistake was made, the opponent could seize the opportunity and cause a killing opportunity.

At half-time, Jose Mourinho once again stressed the importance of defence.

In the second half, Real Madrid kicked off, but the ball was soon at the feet of Chelsea.

Real Madrid was on the right side of the half, Hazard, Pedro, Willian and Fabregas passed the ball to organize the attack, and the ball went to the feet of Hazard.

Eden Hazard shook off Casemiro and crossed diagonally into the middle of the box.

Diego Costa had the ball with his back and before he could turn around, Pepe struck from behind and knocked Costa down.

"Beep, beep~" The referee blew the whistle for the foul very decisively.

Penalty, Chelsea were awarded a penalty.

Keylor Navas was unhappy with the penalty, believing that Pepe and Costa were just normal physical contact.

But the referee didn't pay any attention to Navas's rhetoric and directly pulled out the yellow card to shut up.

On the football field, questioning the referee's eyes is undoubtedly an extremely stupid thing, not to mention that Pepe's leg movements did overwhelm Costa, and the penalty was a very correct decision.

According to some information, this is the second time Real Madrid have been awarded a penalty in the Champions League final, and the last time a penalty was awarded was in 1962, when Eusebio, who took the penalty, scored the goal.

Chelsea were awarded the penalty today, but who was in charge?

"He, you're coming?" Fabregas asked in the direction of José.

José thought for a moment, then finally shook his head.

Real Madrid is different from other teams, whether it is Bale or Ronaldo, their counter-attacking speed is extremely amazing, if the penalty is not scored, let Real Madrid get the opportunity to counterattack, it will be too dangerous.

What's more, the score on the field is still 0-0, Chelsea is not at the time of life and death, for the sake of insurance, it is more important to defend well.

Moreover, Chelsea's team also has Xiaofa, Eden Hazard, and Costa and others, who can also be qualified as penalty takers.

Although Jose is very powerful, he can't do everything alone, right?

In the end, it was decided that Hazard would take the penalty.

If it is usual, Xiaofa or Costa will not give up penalty opportunities, but now it is the Champions League final, the opponent is the "Galaxy Battleship" Real Madrid, this penalty may determine the final champion in minutes, in this context, not everyone can withstand the pressure.

Hazard actually can't bear it, but he has been in the doldrums for almost a whole season, and he is not bad this time.

As the referee's whistle blew, Hazard began to move.

Run-up, left-footed shot, the whole process without any pause.

Keylor Navas started to pounce on the right side of the goal before Hazard could touch the ball.

However, he misjudged Hazard's shot.

It's just that the ball didn't fly into the net, but hit the left-hand crossbar and bounced back.

Eden Hazard missed a crucial penalty.

According to some information, this is the 11th time in the history of the Champions League final that a penalty has been missed, and it is also the first time that it has hit the crossbar, and the previous 10 shots have been saved by the goalkeeper.

Chelsea fans were disappointed, but instead of blaming Hazard, they gave him a round of applause.

At this tense juncture, only by letting the players release the pressure can they play better.

In the 52nd minute, Real Madrid made a passive substitution.

Carvajal was injured in a scramble with Eden Hazard.

There was no way, Zidane had to make the first substitution adjustment.

Danilo came off the bench.

Carvajal, on the other hand, limped off the field with the help of the team doctor, tears streaming down his face to show how much he wanted to stay on the pitch.
