Cristiano Ronaldo's expression was a little painful, not because the score was behind and the Portuguese team couldn't find a chance to score.

It's because he's hurt!

In the 78th minute of the second half, Ronaldo collided with Busquets in a scramble in front of the court, and both fell to the ground.

The slow-motion replay at the scene showed that Ronaldo was receiving a pass from a teammate and was about to break forward when he was hit by Busquets, who was defending him, and Busquets's right knee hit Ronaldo's left knee, and both of them looked injured.

Spain's team doctor came on and examined Sergio Busquets before gesturing to the coaching staff on the sidelines.

Clearly, Busquets can't hold on any longer.

After Portugal's team doctor came on the field, he also examined Ronaldo.

Cristiano Ronaldo is not lightly injured, but he does not want to be substituted now because his team is still behind and he does not want to be a deserter.

Therefore, even after being dissuaded by the team doctor, Ronaldo still chose to insist on staying on the field.

After seeing Ronaldo limp to his feet, the more than 80,000 fans at the scene applauded him, including Spanish fans.

Regardless of Ronaldo's performance in this game, whether he scored or not, his actions were enough to win the respect of the fans.

It's just that being injured is being injured, and it can't be changed by human will.

Ronaldo fought with an injury, his state declined seriously, his left knee was unable to exert strength, and it was difficult to even run, and he felt unbearable pain when he moved casually.

And what made him even more uncomfortable was that the injured part of his left knee began to become congested and swollen, which made it impossible for his knee to bend, let alone use it normally.

So, after holding on for 5 minutes, Ronaldo finally couldn't hold on.

He understands that staying on the pitch will not only not help the team in any way, but will only drag down his teammates.

Ronaldo covered his eyes with his hands in pain, and the corners of his eyes were already moist, and unwilling tears flowed.

The referee saw someone injured and fell to the ground, blew the game off, and walked quickly towards the player who had fallen to the ground.

There was an uproar at the scene, and countless fans subconsciously stood up and looked towards Ronaldo, who was injured and fell to the ground.

On the sidelines, Portugal coach Fernando Santos's expression was unusually solemn, and at the critical moment when the team was behind and time was running out, the core of the team could not afford to be injured, and this blow was almost fatal.

Although there was still some time before the end of the game, he seemed to have seen the fate of the team.

The team doctor once again came on the pitch with a medical kit, and this time, Ronaldo did not continue to insist.

After being treated by the team doctor, he was carried down on a stretcher.

Ronaldo, who was carried on a stretcher, burst into tears and even began to sob.

The boy doesn't flick when he has tears, but it's not time to be sad.

The fans at the scene began to chant Ronaldo's name, and the nearby Portuguese players also surrounded him to comfort their captain as the stretcher passed by.

In the CCTV studio, the commentator He Wei saw this scene and said with emotion: "A hero fell on the way to chase his dreams!" ”

Cristiano Ronaldo is 31 years old, and by the time of the next European Championship, he will be 35.

With the strength of the Portuguese team and Ronaldo's age, I missed this opportunity, and I am afraid that there will be no chance next time.

Therefore, the fall of Ronaldo marks the complete failure of Ronaldo and the Portuguese team's dream journey in the European Cup.

Everyone present understands this, and also understands that after losing the protagonist of Ronaldo in this final, the excitement will be greatly reduced.

The rest of the time, it may be garbage time.

However, the Portuguese, or Cristiano Ronaldo, did not give up so easily.

By the time he was stretchered to the sidelines, his friend Quaresma was already standing on the sidelines ready to play.

Ronaldo took off the captain's armband on his arm and handed it to Quaresma, then declined the advice of the team doctor and chose to sit on the bench and insist on watching the rest of the game!

Judging by the substitutions of the Portuguese team, it is clear that they are not ready to give up yet.

Although Quaresma's strength is far inferior to Ronaldo, he also has his own unique skill - the outside instep!

Portugal's substitute striker Ede came on and was in an awkward position because he couldn't get a pass from his midfield team-mate.

But after Quaresma, the king of the outside instep, came on the field, he formed a chemistry with him.

With a coquettish outside-instep pass, Quaresma fed Ed a couple of clever passes.

Ed didn't get used to it at first, he didn't handle the ball decisively enough, and he was ruined by the defender before he even had a chance to shoot.

But as soon as he got used to Quaresma's style of passing, he immediately threatened Spain's goal.

In the 83rd minute of the second half, Ed received a pass from Quaresma, lightly rubbed the ball, changed the flight trajectory of the ball, and directed the ball to the far corner.

Casillas hastily had no time to make a save, and had almost surrendered.

However, just when everyone thought the ball was about to fly into the goal, a loud bang was heard, and the ball hit the crossbar and bounced off the bottom line.

The Portuguese fans behind the goal were already clenching their fists and ready to jump up in celebration, and from their point of view, the goal was about to be scored.

As a result, I didn't expect to be unlucky and hit the beam!

Ed, who shot the goal, knelt down in the penalty area and hugged his head in frustration, why didn't the goal go in?

After that rubbing, he was ready to celebrate.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who was sitting on the bench, was also excited to shake off the wrapped towel and was about to celebrate, but he saw the football being turned away by the crossbar.

At this moment, Ronaldo's regret, chagrin, and disappointment in his heart are no less than Ed.

If it was on the pitch, it would probably have gone in, right?

Cristiano Ronaldo thought to himself, he was very confident in his header level, and firmly believed that if he was there, he would definitely be able to complete the goal.

It's a pity that when he was there, he didn't get such a good opportunity.

The Spanish teams that escaped were all very lucky, and Ramos even ran over to kiss the door frame.

The Frenchman's jamb really helped a lot, saving them at least twice in this game!

Without these two crucial doorframe saviors, Spain would have lagged behind.

originally thought that the opponent's core was not there and could win this game steadily, so the Spanish team, which was slack, was woken up under the opponent's continuous threatening attacks.

Immediately, they unceremoniously launched a counterattack against the Portuguese team.

In fact, by the time the game reached around the 75th minute of the second half, the Spanish team's physical strength was a little unbearable.

Cristiano Ronaldo's injury just now was delayed for a few minutes, which gave them a little relief.

In addition, the Spanish players also understand that the closer to the end of the game, the more they cannot let the opponent form a siege on them.

A one-goal lead is still not enough insurance, and the opponent only needs to score a goal to bring both sides back to the same running line.

In the final stage of the game, once the opponent's attack is released, the leading side may not be able to hold in the face of huge game pressure.

Therefore, it is necessary to grasp the initiative of the game, or take the initiative to attack, burn the fire to the opponent's half, and not let them pose a threat to their own goal.

Either go all out and take advantage of the opportunity of the opponent's anxious attack and the lack of defense in the back to score another goal.

If one more goal can be scored at this time, it will completely destroy the opponent's fighting spirit, and Spain can completely seal the victory!

The whole Spaniard understood this, so even if they were physically exhausted, they gritted their teeth and attacked.

Lin Quan ran wildly with the ball all the way, and glanced at his front and back.

Pedro on the wing could no longer run, David Silva also fell behind him, and Morata on the front line was still running, but his running position was not very good, and he was caught by two defenders of the opposing side.

Even if Lin Quan finds a way to pass the ball over, he may not be able to hold it, once he loses the ball, not only will he run in vain, but he may even be kicked back to his own half by the opponent's goalkeeper with a big kick, forming the opponent's counterattack.

Therefore, after weighing it, Lin Quan chose to rush forward with the ball by himself.

Behind Lin's body, Koke, who had just replaced the injured Sergio Busquets, was running wildly.

He didn't play for a few minutes and was very fit at this point.

So Cork quickly shook off his teammates and several Portuguese players, thinking that he could quickly catch up with Lin Quan, who was dribbling the ball.

But when he rushed past the midfield, he looked up and found that Lin Quan was still in front of him, and he ran farther and farther.

This discovery surprised Cork!

What's going on?

It's been eighty-five minutes, how can Lin still have such abundant physical energy?

It's not just Cork who can't figure it out, but also a couple of defenders in Portugal.

Originally, when Spain launched a counterattack, they were in front of Lin Quan, but as they ran, Lin Quan was on par with them.

What's even worse is that Lin Quan's speed has not decreased at all, and he is even running faster and faster, if he continues like this, it won't be long before they will be thrown away by Lin Quan.

There were also exclamations of surprise from the stands, and fans of both teams held their breath and stared intently at the stadium.

Whether it is in the league or in the cup, Lin Quan's offensive method of riding alone and running long distances can best ignite the enthusiasm of fans and make everyone feel enthusiastic.

Some people even think that this kind of attacking style, which symbolizes speed, passion and courage, is the real football!

In comparison, the kind of people who fall on their feet are lethargic, the offense is chaotic, and the offensive style is not worthy of being called football.

The fans in the stands were so happy that some even shouted cheers.

But the Portuguese players on the pitch, especially a couple of defenders, were suffering.

The other party's speed is getting faster and faster, and it is already faintly overtaking them.

In another second, they won't even have a chance to foul!

In a hurry, Portugal's central defender Fonte couldn't care so much, and directly shoveled Lin Quan, who was carrying the ball.

He plans to take the ball and stop it together.

If you are lucky enough to tackle the ball first, then everything will be fine, but if you don't tackle the ball, but the person is tackled, the foul in this position is very likely to be a red card!

It's hard to say whether this red card is worth it or not, because after being sent off, the Portuguese team, which has one less person and does not have much time, loses is a high probability event.

But if you don't foul, once you let Lin Quan rush over, with his terrifying single-knife success rate, losing the ball is almost inevitable.

When the time comes, Portugal will still be killed!

After Font made the action of putting the shovel, he couldn't care so much.

Feng Te's idea was very good, but his intention was too obvious, before he released the shovel, Lin Quan had already noticed it, and at the moment when Feng Te released the shovel, he jumped in time and avoided the interception of the other party.

Vonte, who slipped underneath, was stunned, and he wanted to stop it with the ball, but nothing stopped!

Although Wundt failed to stop Lin Quan, his shovel was not completely ineffective.

In order to avoid Wundt's tackle, Lin Quan had to kick the ball a little farther away to facilitate his own jump.

And in this way, football was briefly out of his control.

Portugal's goalkeeper Patricio decisively chose to attack, trying to compete with Lin Quan for control of the ball.

After Lin Quan dodged Wundt's shovel, he had already formed a single knife.

If he doesn't attack, he will have to sit in front of the door and wait for death.

Patricio's timing was very good, although from the distance, it seemed that the ball was farther away from him, but the ball was rolling towards him, and the distance between the two was constantly shrinking.

Even if he can't get the ball, he can block all of Lin Quan's shooting angles, and he can also resolve the crisis!

Lin Quan is accelerating the sprint, and Patricio is also accelerating the sprint.

In the stands, the hearts of the fans on both sides have already risen to their throats.

They are all cheering for their players in their hearts, for fear that the opponent will be one step ahead and touch the ball earlier than their side.

Almost everyone in the coach's bench and bench on both sides couldn't help but stand up, staring at the Portuguese penalty area with wide eyes, for fear of missing this crucial scene.

Ronaldo, who was sitting on the bench, felt extremely nervous, he looked at Lin Quan's running back, clenched his fists, and hoped that his teammates could stop this person!

However, in the midst of this suffocating atmosphere, Spain's number 10 took the lead and touched the ball.

Patricio was half a beat slower, but he still appeared in front of Lin Quan in time, and as he expected, almost all of Lin Quan's shooting angles were blocked.

At this time, Lin Quan has already rushed into the penalty area, and the goalkeeper in the penalty area can grab the ball with his hands, no matter how strong your skills are, it is impossible to be more flexible than your hands.

So this time, Patricio felt that he had won the battle.

However, what Patricio never expected was that Lin Quanxiang had predicted his movements, grabbed him before him, pulled the ball with his toes, and then turned around and wiped him directly.

How is this possible?

How could this guy complete such an action in the process of running at high speed?

Patricio was dumbfounded, and subconsciously reached out and dragged Lin Quan, who was about to complete the turning action, to the ground.

However, when Lin Quan fell to the ground, he swept a football with his right leg and swept the ball into the goal.

The score became 2:0, and Spain completely sealed the victory!
