Chapter 48 Defending the Champions League, Lin Quan became the first person in football!

Ter Stegen stared nervously at the man ten meters away, the name of the other party, whom he had heard of before joining Barcelona.

It's just that I didn't expect that the other party's strength was even more terrifying than rumored!

In just one game, the opponent has already broken through the goal he guarded three times!

Now there's an opportunity to increase that number to four!

And he has completely become the background board behind the other party's record-breaking.

Ter Stegen is a dog in his heart, he knew that this was the case, it was better to apply for a substitute!

The goalkeeper's success rate in saving a penalty is not high, usually only 20-30%.

If you come across a player who is particularly consistent with penalty kicks, then this number may go down.

Thinking of this, Ter Stegen recalled Lin Quan's penalty data in his heart, and then was horrified to find that this guy's penalty shooting rate seemed to be 100%!

I haven't seen him miss a penalty so far!

100% hits, huh?

I'm really going to finish the game now!

Seeing Lin Quan standing at the penalty spot, Barcelona fans were all nervous.

They kept praying in their hearts, hoping that Ter Stegen would play bravely and save Lin Quan's penalty.

There are also some people who are praying that Lin Quan will make a mistake, because only if he makes a mistake, the Barcelona side will have a chance to survive.

On the sidelines, Barcelona's coach Enrique couldn't sit still nervously.

He stood on the sidelines, staring at his goal and Lin Quan in front of the goal.

In this game, Lin Quan caused him and Barcelona a huge problem, making Enrique's intestines repent.

He sighed in his heart countless times, if he hadn't driven this guy away back then, why would Barcelona have been forced to this extent now?

Although Enrique also blamed himself a little, he threw the bigger black pot on Russell:

It's all to blame for that stupid guy Russell, if he hadn't insisted on going his own way, Lin Quan would definitely still be the treasure of La Masia and Messi's successor!

With him and Messi here, it is definitely not a problem for Barcelona to maintain a dynasty for ten or even fifteen years!

It's a pity that there is no if!

Beep!

Enrique's thoughts were interrupted by the referee's whistle, and on the field, with the referee's whistle, Lin Quan glanced at the goal and began to run.

Here it comes!

Ter Stegen's heart suddenly tensed, and his eyes widened as he stared at all of Lin Quan's movements.

Lin Quan did not suddenly change his rhythm, nor did he do any feints to deceive the goalkeeper.

After completing a full set of run-up moves, he kicked the ball hard.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the ball flew towards Barcelona's goal at breakneck speed.

Left!

Ter Stegen relied on his keen judgment to quickly lock in the direction of the opponent's shot.

His judgment was right, and even the approximate position of Lin Quan's shot was judged.

But so what?

Among the players on the field, seeing the trajectory of the football flight, the players of the Spanish national team such as Pique, Xavi, Iniesta and Busquez couldn't help but chuckle in their hearts and realized that something was going to be bad!

They are too familiar with this kind of penalty kick, because Lin Quan scored several penalties in this way in the World Cup last year, and in the training of the team, he abused De Gea, Reina and other Spanish countries in the same way!

Sure enough, although Ter Stegen's body stretch posture is very good-looking, it is as chic and elegant as the wings of the Roc.

However, it didn't work, and the ball flew into the goal almost in the absolute sense of the corner where the column and the crossbar meet.

Ter Stegen's textbook save is blind!

Rumble!

At the moment of the goal, the Olympic Stadium in Berlin was in a state of revelry.

The fans of Manchester City were so excited that they shouted or danced, and some even danced in front of the Barcelona fans!

Manchester City are once again ahead and are close to winning their second Champions League trophy in their history.

Barça's fans were dead and despairing.

Anyone can tell that Barca's players are no longer fit, and their morale has dropped significantly under the blow of successive goals from their opponents.

At this time, Barcelona no longer has the sense of oppression and deterrence of the division of kings and champions.

In the box, Bartomeu sat down on his seat as if he had been drained of all his strength.

Muttering to himself: It's over, it's all over!

He seems to have seen the scene of the angry Barcelona fans all turning against him after losing the game, abandoning him and running in favor of Laporta.

It took a year and a half to complete the layout carefully, but because of this game, it was completely lost.

On the other hand, Laporta's mood is also complicated.

Barcelona's defeat means that Bartomeu's machinations will go bankrupt, and he should be sure to win this summer's election for club president.

It's just that Laporta has a faint feeling in his heart that after missing this opportunity to win the championship, Barcelona may not be able to win Europe again for a long time in the future.

After scoring for the fourth time, Lin Quan finally found a chance to fill the cup before his teammates rushed up.

He cocked up his collar and looked around the stadium, patrolling his territory like a king.

In the place he inspected, the fans in the stands gave a collective standing ovation, and some even made exaggerated gestures of bowing and worshiping!

Truly reigning in the world!

It's the first word that comes to mind in the minds of countless fans.

The only players who can score four goals in the Champions League final are Lin Quan and Puskas throughout the ages!

What does it mean to be dominant?

"Hehe, this kid, the celebration is too hateful, aren't you afraid of being shoveled off?"

On the side of the pitch, after Guardiola celebrated excitedly, he couldn't help but shake his head and smile when he saw Lin Quan's celebration.

Although he said so, his eyes were full of pampering and pride.

Look, this is my son, the number one man in football today.

Messi?

Sorry, not familiar!

……

There was not much time left in the first half of extra time, and the referee soon whistled for the end of the first half after City finished their celebrations.

There was no break in the middle of extra time, and the game resumed after the two sides exchanged courts.

Enrique seemed to have to make two substitutions and desperately attack Manchester City.

However, his substitutions not only did not work, but further weakened Barca's defensive ability.

Unable to control the midfield, Barcelona couldn't even maintain the passing system.

The second half of extra time almost turned into an offensive and defensive drill for Manchester City around the Barcelona goal.

Seeing this scene, Barcelona fans all over the world were completely desperate.

Their teams were so desperately pinned down that there was no hope of an equaliser or a win.

Countless fans shouted in their hearts, hoping that Messi could stand up and save the team.

As the number one star in the Barcelona team, Messi has an obligation to step up when the team needs him most.

What Neymar, what Suarez, Barcelona fans have forgotten these people at critical moments, and the first thing they think of in their hearts is always Messi!

Seeing the time pass little by little, Barcelona fans and players are becoming more and more anxious.

"Messi!"

"Messi!"

"Messi!"

I don't know who took the lead, but the Barcelona fans at the scene began to shout Messi's name in unison.

On the pitch, Messi gritted his teeth when he heard his name.

It's not that he doesn't want to stand up, it's just that he doesn't have the physical fitness.

To be able to hold on to the present, Messi has reached the limit, and what supports him on the field is completely strong willpower and desire for the championship.

But now, after hearing the call of the fans and taking another look at the time of the game.

Messi realised he had to step up.

If you don't stand up, you really won't have a chance!

In the 115th minute of the game, after being besieged by Manchester City for ten minutes, Barcelona finally found their chance.

Busquez made a successful break and quickly handed the ball to Xavi.

Harvey's knife is not old, and with a precise through stopper, he found Messi on the wing.

Messi catches the ball, plays the ball, breaks through, and passes the whole set of actions in one go!

Glancing at Manchester City's goal and the opponent's empty half, Messi began to sprint!

From Lin Quan's goal to now, Messi has been accumulating physical strength.

His current fitness can only support him to complete a sprint and attack, and if he can't take this last opportunity, then Barcelona will have to be restrained.

Seeing Messi running desperately, the fans at the scene, whether it were Barcelona or Manchester City, couldn't help but stand up, stretch their necks, and look nervously at the field.

Everyone understands that this is Barcelona's sacrifice for life!

If this attack can be successful, Manchester City will most likely be dragged to the penalty shoot-out.

But if Barcelona's counterattack fails and Messi fails to put the ball into the Manchester City goal, then Manchester City will beat Barcelona and lift the Big Ears Cup.

"Rush, Messi!"

"Danger, retreat!"

Fans on both sides are shouting in their hearts, and at this moment, the hearts of countless people are touched by Messi who is running wildly with the ball.

In the box, Bartomeu, who was already dead, suddenly stood up at this time, clenched his hands, and stared at Messi who was running wildly.

Messi will definitely be able to save the team, he will definitely be able to!

As long as it drags into the penalty shootout, the winner is five or five.

Barcelona still have a chance, at least half a chance!

However, just as he was calculating the probability of Barcelona winning in his heart, he saw that a blue figure rushed from Barcelona's half at a very fast speed and rushed towards Messi with the ball!

Bartomeu's eyes widened!

He could see the man's jersey number - number 10!

The person who came turned out to be Lin Quan!

The fans at the scene were in an uproar!

How is this possible?

Why did it come to this time, Lin Quan still had such physical fitness?

Is he a monster?

"Messi, run!"

"Run, Lin Quan is catching up!"

Seeing Lin Quan, who was running faster and faster, quickly closing the distance between him and Messi, Barcelona fans shouted anxiously.

They wanted to remind Messi to keep an eye out for his pursuers behind him.

However, the noise on the pitch was so loud and loud that the cries of the few fans could not reach the ears of the players.

Looking at the goal that was getting closer and closer, Messi finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Next, just dribble into the penalty area and get past the goalkeeper to send the ball into the goal.

It's just that I have used all the strength of my body to run, and I am afraid that I don't have the strength to support myself to pass the goalkeeper.

Therefore, the ball cannot be carried for too long, and it must be shot before the goalkeeper strikes a sufficient distance.

Messi had already thought about the next countermeasures in his heart, but he didn't notice that a Manchester City player had chased him less than two meters away.

And Lin Quan's speed is getting faster and faster, and the distance between the two is still shrinking rapidly.

At this time, Messi finally realized that there were pursuers behind him.

Who is it?

Caught up with yourself so quickly?

Messi's first thought was Keylor Navas, who had just been substituted by Pep Guardiola, still fit and just on the right wing.

However, when the other party caught up with him and kept pace with him, Messi's pupils suddenly contracted, and he looked at the other party incredibly.

The person who came turned out to be Lin Quan, how could this be possible?

Lin Quan's appearance greatly surprised Messi's expectations, and his previous plan was completely disrupted.

At this time, there is still some distance from the goal, and if he shoots now, it will be difficult to guarantee accuracy in the case of a serious decline in fitness.

And if you don't have time to adjust, and you shoot in a hurry with the interference of the opponent's players, your own shooting percentage will not be very high.

But if he continued to lead forward, Lin Quan would definitely not give him a chance, he could almost already predict what the other party was going to do to him next.

If it was the beginning of the game, Messi would naturally not be afraid of Lin Quan's defense.

The person who can guard against him one-on-one all day has not yet been born!

But now it's the second half of extra time, Messi is no longer physical, let alone let him pass at this time, even if he takes a few more steps, he can't do it.

So, Messi turned his heart to the side and wanted to shoot before Lin Quan was completely stuck in the position.

However, Lin Quan seemed to have anticipated Messi's actions for a long time, and at the moment when Messi shot, his body leaned over, blocking part of Messi's shooting angle, and at the same time, he also carried the opponent with his body, making it difficult for the opponent's body to maintain balance.

Bang!

The ball flew off Messi's feet and he struggled to finish before his body lost his balance.

However, with a loss of strength and physical balance, the shot went wide of the woodwork, failed to hit the goal, and naturally did not score.

There was a dead silence at the scene, and the Barcelona fans were stunned, watching in disbelief at the flying football and Messi who fell on the field.

The invincible Messi, down!

Messi fell on the lawn, a wave of sadness welled up in his heart, and two lines of tears couldn't help but slip out of the corners of his eyes.

After all, it still failed!

At this moment, he remembered last year's World Cup.

It is the same person who has blocked him and Argentina's national World Cup dream.

And today, it is the same person who blocked Barcelona's treble.

Am I really unable to defeat him?

At this moment, Messi felt a shadow hit him.

He opened his eyes and looked at the other person.

I saw Lin Quanzheng standing in front of him and stretched out his hand to him.

"Next year's finals, waiting for you to fight!"

Not much was said, and anything else was superfluous.

No one is qualified to comfort a man like Messi, and he doesn't need to be comforted.

Hearing Lin Quan's words, Messi, who was originally discouraged and depressed, suddenly rose a strong fighting spirit in his heart.

"Hmm!"

He grabbed Lin Quan's hand and stood up.

A strong belief appeared in Messi's heart: I must defeat him with my own hands!

Countless cameras and camcorders have recorded this historic moment, and although no one says it explicitly, everyone knows that it is a ritual of passing on the old and the new.

From this moment on, the first person in football will change his name!

After Barcelona's failed counter-attack, Manchester City began to control the pace of the game and did not give the opponent any chance to fight back.

After the end of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game.

In the end, Manchester City defeated Barcelona with a score of 4:3 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin and lifted the Champions League trophy for the second time.

This also makes them the first team to defend their title in the Champions League since the restructuring.

Manchester City has officially become the fifth giant team in the Premier League!
