Chapter 168: Defeat Real Madrid and Defend the Champion!

Bell's sudden outburst caught everyone off guard.

The Real Madrid fans, who were almost resigned to their fate, rekindled their hopes one by one, and Zidane kept shouting at the players on the field off the field to cheer them on.

Manchester City also became a little nervous because of Bale's goal, and some Manchester City fans were so nervous that they almost didn't dare to open their eyes to watch the game, for fear that the team would collapse at the last minute.

On the sidelines, Guardiola's heart was also nervous.

After Lin Quan was substituted, Manchester City's attack power dropped greatly, which made him feel a little bottomless.

If Real Madrid equalized and dragged into extra time at this time, he felt that Manchester City would lose!

So no matter what, you have to hold on to these last few minutes!

Thinking of this, Pep Guardiola shouted to the players on the pitch and told them to delay as much time as possible.

At the same time, he also asked Fernando to stand on the sidelines and prepare for one final substitution.

Obviously, this substitution is also used to stall for time!

Although Bale did not celebrate after scoring the goal, he immediately ran back to the center circle with the football to prepare for kick-off.

However, the third minute of stoppage time had come and there was very little time left for Real Madrid.

Bale glanced at the time, and then at the Manchester City players who had been struggling and had not been in position for half a day, and he was also a little anxious.

He could see that these guys were deliberately stalling for time.

Referee Clattenburg couldn't take it anymore and reluctantly returned to his position after personally coming off the pitch to warn several of City's players.

Seeing that both sides were ready to kick off, Clattenburg immediately blew the whistle for Manchester City's side to kick off.

There were no surprises, Manchester City chose to pass back as soon as they kicked off, intending to control the ball at their feet, not giving Real Madrid a chance to continue attacking, and wasting time by backing their feet.

Real Madrid had expected this, and when the whistle blew, the whole team rushed forward in a frenzy, desperate to snatch the ball from the feet of the Manchester City players.

The ball quickly passed from the feet of Sergio Aguero to De Bruyne and from De Bruyne to N'Golo Kante.

When Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema both rushed towards Kante, Kante continued to pass back to centre-back Virgil van Dijk.

Benzema rushed towards Van Dijk again, a position where he could grab the ball and shoot immediately, and with a bit of luck, he could be the hero who saved the team and helped the team score the crucial equaliser!

In the face of the fierce Real Madrid players, Van Dijk was bold, stopped and dunked, easily dodged Benzema's scramble, and then calmly passed the ball to full-back Zabaleta.

Van Dijk's action caused a burst of exclamations from the fans at the scene:

In the face of the huge pressure that mistakes may lose the ball, he still dares to play tricks at the back.

Is this kid born to be a player with a big heart?

Compared to the middle, there is much more space on the wings and the number of players on the opposing side is smaller.

At the time of Van Dijk's pass, Zabaleta was not surrounded by Real Madrid players.

After Marcelo was sent off the pitch after receiving a red card, Real Madrid were already one man less and could not keep an eye on every point of Manchester City.

Coupled with the fact that they had just kicked off and their players had not yet fully rushed past half-time, there was still room for the City backfield to pass the ball to their feet.

However, such space was soon gone, because the other party had already flocked to it.

After Zabaleta received the ball, he saw that there were opposing people around several exit points, and if he rushed to pass the ball to these teammates, it was very likely that he would be intercepted.

So, he simply looked at the side of Real Madrid, and kicked the ball out with a clearance-style footwork.

Real Madrid's players were all past half-time by this time, and even goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was near the centre circle.

At this time, they were speechless when they saw the football flying high above their heads.

That's not the worst of all, the worst thing is that the opposing striker Sergio Aguero is still running desperately, as if he is going to grab the ball.

Not only Sergio Aguero, but also the likes of Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva are also sprinting forward desperately and chasing football.

This made the Real Madrid players nervous, the ball flew high and looked like it was going out of bounds, but the ball landed more than 30 meters away from the bottom line of the wing.

After a few bounces on the ground, the ball began to roll forward, and it became slower and slower.

If the ball is not good, it is really possible to be picked up by the opponent before it goes out of bounds, thinking of this, Danilo and Bale, who are closest to the football landing point, quickly returned to the defense.

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois was going to control the ball himself, but after running a few steps and realizing that something was wrong, he quickly changed direction and ran towards his own goal.

If he doesn't grab the ball and there is no one to defend in front of the goal, the opponent will be able to hit the empty goal!

Real Madrid must not concede a goal at this time, and losing a goal means that the suspense of the game is completely gone!

After all, Danilo was only brought on in the second half, and he was a little more physical than a few of the starters on Manchester City's side.

He rushed to the edge before Aguero and the others, but the embarrassing thing was that when he ran near the baseline, the ball was already slowly out of bounds.

And what's worse is that the ball is out of the sideline, not the bottom line.

"Come and throw the throw-in!"

Danilo hurriedly called his teammates to come over to help, and if it was out of the bottom line, he just let the goalkeeper kick it to the front.

But now it's a sideline ball, and he needs someone to match him with his free throws.

Bale and Jesse rushed quickly, but City's attacking trio did not retreat into their own half at this point, as if they were trying to defend their throw-in.

Aguero and the others felt that their defensive ability was very poor, and they couldn't help when they went back, plus they had already consumed a lot of physical strength because of the long-distance run just now, and their legs were as heavy as lead at this time, and it was difficult to even run back.

So just stay in the opponent's half, interfere with the opponent as much as possible, and delay time.

Pep Guardiola thought of going with them!

After confirming that the ball was out of bounds, City made a substitution.

Danilo, who was about to throw the throw-in to his teammates, held it back and couldn't help but want to scold his mother!

If you don't change people sooner or later, you just change people at this time, and you want to delay time, right?

It was none other than Aguero, who had run out of energy and didn't even have the strength to walk.

Aguero was relieved to see that he was going to be replaced.

After high-fives with De Bruyne and David Silva next to him, he walked slowly to the sidelines.

At this time, the three of them were in the opponent's half, most of the court away from their own bench, and with his snail-like speed and the practice of high-fiveing his teammates when he saw them on the road, I am afraid that this way will not take several minutes.

Real Madrid fans saw that Aguero wanted to stall for time, and they all booed wildly, and for a while, the whole stadium was booed.

"Referee, that guy is deliberately stalling for time!"

Real Madrid's players were so unhappy with Aguero's behaviour that they ran to Clattenburg to protest.

Clattenburg can't stand it anymore, this is the Champions League final, and now the world is afraid that hundreds of millions of people are watching the live broadcast of this game.

In this situation, it would be somewhat inappropriate for Aguero to take action against Aguero, who was deliberately delaying time.

As a result, Clattenburg did not show mercy to his men, ran to Aguero's side and showed him a yellow card.

Sergio Aguero rejoiced that he could delay a little longer.

pretended to be incredulous stunned on his face, and spread LeBron Cane with both hands:

Referee, I'm innocent, why did you give me a yellow card?

According to the rules, when a yellow card is presented, the reason for the card must be explained to the player.

So Clattenburg said to Aguero with a blank face:

"Sergio, if you want to leave the field, you can leave the sideline just now, there is no need to cross the whole stadium like this, deliberately delay the time, according to the regulations, I can show a yellow card to warn you, if you continue to delay time, I will continue to show the yellow card and send you off."

Aguero didn't mean to question the referee, he just took this opportunity to chat with the referee and delay for a while!

After hearing Clattenberg's explanation, Aguero said with a grin:

"So that's the case, you said it earlier, I'll run away!"

After that, he pretended to be very cooperative, and began to trot away.

Although he was running, his speed was not much faster than before.

The boos were louder, and the Real Madrid players had to protest.

Clattenburg had a black look on his face, but seeing that Aguero was close to leaving, he finally resisted the urge to pick up another yellow card.

Sergio Aguero high-fived substitute Fernando before the latter came on.

Unlike the slow Sergio Aguero, Fernando rushed to the pitch almost at the speed of a 100-meter sprint after coming on the field.

From the moment he came on the pitch, the substitution was complete.

Naturally, the Real Madrid players threw the throw-in as soon as possible.

Real Madrid obviously wanted to take advantage of the fact that the opponent's new players were not yet in position, and quickly launched a wave of attacks.

At this point, the stoppage time was 93:40 seconds, and there were only 20 seconds left until the end of the game!

There may only be one chance left for Real Madrid to attack!

The throw-in was taken and Bale received it with De Bruyne's interference.

He quickly passed to his teammates, turned around and wanted to rush forward.

As a result, I suddenly felt a chill in my crotch, and then I heard the referee's whistle.

Bell looked at it, and he didn't know when his pants had been pulled off.

Looking back again, I saw De Bruyne, who had fallen to the ground, blushing and apologizing to him with some embarrassment, and his attitude was very sincere.

De Bruyne wanted to reach out and pull Bale's jersey, but Bale ran too fast and wanted to pull the jersey on it, but he didn't expect to touch the pants, and he was just about to let go, and Bale took it down as soon as he ran.

Bell was speechless, but seeing the sincerity of the other party's face, it was really not good.

Clattenburg didn't care whether the other party was intentional or accidental, and directly gave De Bruyne a topaz card as punishment for his indecent behavior just now.

There are a lot of female fans at the scene, how indecent such an act is!

On the sidelines, Lin Quan and other Manchester City fans on the bench couldn't help laughing after seeing this scene.

I never thought that De Bruyne would do such a thing!

So you're such Kevin!

Real Madrid's free-kick at the back, which was too far from the goal to shoot straight at goal.

So they chose to serve quickly and handed the ball directly to Modric, who then passed to Bale, allowing Bale to give full play to his speed advantage, attacking with the ball and tearing through Manchester City's defense!

At this time, the time had reached 94:50 seconds, and the time for injury time had been exhausted, even more than 50 seconds.

However, Clattenburg did not mean to blow the whistle, apparently wanting Real Madrid to complete the attack.

Bale was the focus of City's defense, and after Bale dribbled past half-time, all three of them rushed towards him and surrounded him in a zigzag pattern.

Of the three, David Silva and Kevin De Bruyne are not too threatening, but Fernando, who has just come on, is not so easy to deal with.

Although Bale looks aggressive, he has already been strong and strong because of the huge consumption of more than 90 minutes of play.

He squeezed past De Bruyne and shook off David Silva with his pace, but he couldn't shake off Fernando.

The two went neck and neck, Fernando was on the inside, not giving him the opportunity to cut inside and shoot, and kept carrying Bale with his body, trying to make him lose his balance and ruin the attack!

If it were an ordinary person, under this intensity of physical confrontation, he might have lost his balance and lost the ball.

However, Bell gritted his teeth and persevered!

The Real Madrid fans in the stands couldn't help but stand up at this time, and everyone couldn't help but sweat for Bale in their hearts:

Bale, you must hold on, Real Madrid's last hope depends on you!

Bale felt like he couldn't pick up his speed and couldn't use his famous trick corner overtaking to shake off defenders.

Thinking of this, Bale immediately made the decision to pass the ball out and let his teammates complete the attack.

He exerted all his strength, withstood Fernando's onslaught, and then struggled to pass the ball to the middle.

After completing this pass, Bale fell on the turf, but his eyes were still fixed on the flying ball:

Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, it's up to you next!

Seeing the flight route of the football, with the intuition of a top scorer, Ronaldo immediately judged the landing point of the ball.

He struggled to shake off the defenders and leaped high with all his might, trying to head the ball in with his best header!

Let me in!

Ronaldo roared in anger and slammed his head into the ball.

However, just as he was about to reach the ball, a tall figure appeared in the air and took the first step to push the ball out!

Van Dijk!

Manchester City's defenders made crucial clearances at crucial moments and ruined Ronaldo's great chance!

However, this is not the end, the ball cleared out is obtained by the Real Madrid players on the periphery!

Modric volleyed at the ball!

The ball flew back into the box and towards City's goal.

However, just before the ball was about to cross the goal line, a pair of strong hands appeared in front of it and stopped it!

Navas has done a job!

His save not only saved Real Madrid's goal, but also completely extinguished Real Madrid's dream of winning the championship!

In the stands, countless Real Madrid fans couldn't help but sigh and cry when they saw this scene.

They know that the team's Champions League journey is completely over.

On the other hand, Manchester City fans began to celebrate wildly when they saw Keylor Navas save the ball steadily.

We are the champions!

We are champions again!

We are always champions!

Time ran out and the Real Madrid players had given up their resistance, and when Keylor Navas drove the ball out, Clattenburg blew the whistle for the end of the game before the ball could hit the ground.

The 2015-2016 Champions League final has also come to an end, and the final winner is Manchester City!

The defending champion defeated the Galactic Battleship with a score of 4:3, once again stood on the podium of the champion, and achieved an incredible triple victory!
