The Borussia Dortmund players are clearly struggling to keep up with the pace!
The German commentator's anxious tone was filled with worry for the match.
Ever since Real Madrid scored, Borussia Dortmund had looked very weak.
Morale, once it drops, is very difficult to recover.
The main reason was how easily that goal was scored; Suker broke through as if he met no resistance, without any hesitation or delay.
In fact, Borussia Dortmund hadn't planned to increase their attacking intensity in the second half, only trying for the first 10 minutes before immediately returning to defense.
But who would have thought that Real Madrid would equalize just five minutes into the half?
This completely disrupted their rhythm.
On the sidelines, Klopp was also thinking about how to respond to the match, how to turn the current situation around.
But looking at his somewhat thin bench, he didn't have many good options.
Ultimately, the squad was thin, without many players he could deploy and utilize.
If Robert Lewandowski and Götze were still here, he might have a way to cope, but those two players had already left.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, continued to pass the ball, probing with their attacks.
Entering the second half, the shifts in offense and defense became more pronounced; Real Madrid's possession clearly increased, and they actively controlled the rhythm.
Seeing this, many people already began to understand that the situation was tilting towards Real Madrid.
"Real Madrid is starting to control the tempo!"
In a villa in Munich, Cristiano Ronaldo lay sprawled on the sofa, looking at the TV, his voice slightly grave.
Beside him, Mandžukić also sat on the floor and said, "Mainly, that goal was too damaging to morale. It was scored too quickly and too easily!"
Cristiano Ronaldo nodded; "They worked so hard to get that lead, and then Real Madrid equalized so easily. It definitely hurts morale, but it shouldn't make the match this difficult, right?"
Hearing this, Mandžukić couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Real Madrid played like this two years ago. You weren't at Bayern Munich then, but we played against them. That suffocating rhythm can only be understood by playing against them."
Cristiano Ronaldo thought for a moment, then said, "Not anymore!"
His meaning was that with him now at Bayern Munich, their ability to score in disadvantaged situations had greatly improved, and they would even exert themselves more when playing from behind.
Mandžukić didn't speak.
What Cristiano Ronaldo said was true, but Mandžukić still felt it was a bit unreliable.
Mandžukić is a player who is very good at cooperating with teammates, perhaps due to special experiences that led him to develop in this direction.
For the National Team, he had to serve Suker!
For the club, he had to serve Cristiano Ronaldo!
Mandžukić wouldn't dare say he was better than Benzema in all aspects, but at least when it came to setting up plays, he was very confident.
He had a very good relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo, which was also built through feeding him balls.
Mandžukić and Modrić had both worked with Cristiano Ronaldo and Suker; in fact, they both had the same feeling.
That is, these two players are very similar, yet have some specific differences.
Suker and Cristiano Ronaldo are both incredibly strong-willed individuals; in disadvantaged situations, they only trust themselves.
This also created countless heroic moments for them.
"But why would we be at a disadvantage?"
Mandžukić turned to look at Cristiano Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh himself.
Yeah!
Why be at a disadvantage? Isn't it better to always be at an advantage?
They hadn't failed to beat Real Madrid before, and Bayern Munich this season still maintained extremely strong combat effectiveness.
After Cristiano Ronaldo won the Ballon d'Or, his ambition grew even stronger.
One is not enough; at the very least, he needs to gradually catch up to Suker.
Also, his Champions League goal tally must surpass Suker's.
These are all goals he needs to gradually achieve.
"Here it comes!"
Mandžukić suddenly shouted.
Cristiano Ronaldo also immediately turned to look at the TV.
He saw a long, diagonal 45-degree long pass, and there was no need to guess whose foot it came from.
Mandžukić couldn't help but grin, feeling that Srna's 45-degree long passes were becoming more and more accurate.
This pass was very clever. Piszczek retreated with his back to the ball, wanting to head it away, but he was still just a tiny bit short.
No matter how hard he leaned back, the ball still grazed his scalp and dropped.
But what was more critical was that Suker had suddenly surged in from the side. The moment the ball landed and bounced, Suker directly used his chest to push the ball out, further increasing the distance from Piszczek.
"Piszczek! His judgment of the landing spot was problematic! This is a big mistake!"
Suker was about to enter the penalty area, but Piszczek couldn't make any effective response. How could it not be considered a mistake?
Hummels had already rushed forward.
He exerted all his strength, his expression ferocious, making himself look even more aggressive.
He even roared continuously while running.
But Suker seemed unaffected; he didn't accelerate but deliberately slowed down.
Seeing this scene, Hummels felt even more nervous.
He wasn't afraid of Suker accelerating; he was afraid of Suker decelerating.
Acceleration only allowed for simple breakthroughs; at high speed, not many technical moves could be performed.
But deceleration was different.
With Suker's technical ability, once he slowed down, it meant this guy had countless ways to dribble past him.
Hummels suddenly felt a bit trapped.
His expression was on point, and his shouts were also on point.
Stopping now, would that be a bit cowardly?
But whether cowardly or not, Hummels still believed he couldn't make a mistake.
He just stopped, looking fresh and alert.
To Benzema, who was nearby, this looked a bit comical.
Hummels charged forward menacingly, roaring and intimidating, but as soon as Suker slowed down, he suddenly froze.
Suker's speed also continued to drop. He looked at Hummels, who had lowered his center of gravity and was intently watching him, and couldn't help but shake his head.
This guy's mind is very clear; he can still make the correct choice at this moment.
But that doesn't mean he can stop him.
Suker still probed by dribbling forward; as Suker approached, Hummels retreated.
Until he could retreat no further, the distance between them continued to close.
Hummels stared intently at Suker.
As the two got closer, Suker's center of gravity dropped even further, which was for better directional changes.
Hummels knew Suker wanted to change direction, but he still didn't dare to easily stick out his foot.
He knew very well that once he failed to poke the ball, with Suker's agility and explosiveness, it would be incredibly difficult for him to catch up again.
"Hummels is very calm; he actively slows down and adopts a defensive posture. The two are gradually approaching... Mats! Mats!!! What are you doing? Stick out your foot!!"
Watching Suker get closer and closer to the goal, the German commentator couldn't help but shout anxiously.
But Hummels still remained composed; he stared intently at Suker, waiting for a foolproof opportunity.
Sure enough, the next second, Suker's left foot feinted over the ball.
This was a momentary gap in movement, and Hummels's eyes lit up.
He caught it!
He immediately extended his foot.
But Suker, on his end, suddenly stepped forward with his left foot, shielding the ball with his body, while his right foot followed through, pushing the ball.
Instep push to accelerate!
The sudden change and powerful acceleration left Hummels grasping at air.
He stood with his leg extended forward, his expression full of frustration.
He still failed!
He didn't even turn around, but a clear sound already reached his ears. There was no need to guess; it was the sound of Suker scoring.
The entire Westfalenstadion also fell silent, and the live commentator's somewhat helpless sigh confirmed to Hummels that they had conceded another goal.
"Suker!! A brilliant continuous dribble and shot! Inside the penalty area, he had a brief but intense confrontation with Hummels, but Suker successfully broke through Hummels and scored this goal!"
"Hummels's judgment was not wrong, but Suker's physical strength is simply there. It can be said that Hummels blocked Suker's technical abilities, but the difference in physical factors cannot be compensated for."
The Spanish commentator, González, said with emotion.
He acknowledged Hummels's performance. It could be said that few people could do this when facing Suker, and this guy had even single-handedly defended Suker for over 40 minutes in the first half.
In the second half, he also showed a sufficiently clear defensive mindset, but Suker, besides his technical abilities, also possessed formidable physical prowess.
The combination of these two top-tier attributes created a five-time Golden Ball Winner.
Hummels was indeed excellent, but when compared to Suker, he was still somewhat lacking.
Klopp looked at the goal and sighed helplessly; sometimes, certain abilities cannot be compensated for by tactics.
Just like Suker's impact on the wing, Piszczek had already gotten his act together, but he still missed the ball, and Hummels tried his best but still couldn't stop Suker.
It was still the same old saying: letting Suker get into a one-on-one situation was no different from losing possession.
Real Madrid was celebrating, especially the Real Madrid fans in the stands, who were in an uproar.
"Look! That's Suker! Hahaha! I knew it would be like this!"
"One assist, one goal! It's Suker again! He's our superstar!"
"Suker can always do these kinds of things. We won't give up because Suker is still running, and we still have hope! Look! Haven't we already taken the lead?"
The Real Madrid fans were ecstatic.
From being behind to taking the lead, their emotions fluctuated but ultimately felt exhilarating.
After this goal, Real Madrid completely swept away the gloom.
Now they had the advantage, and no one was better at using an advantage to secure a victory than Real Madrid.
Ancelotti also turned his head to glance at Borussia Dortmund's coaching bench; they hadn't made any substitutions yet, so he wasn't in a hurry to make changes either.
Anyway, they had the advantage; he just needed to make substitutions later to counter them.
Real Madrid's second goal greatly curbed Borussia Dortmund's morale.
If there was still some morale left before, at this moment, there was little left.
Many Borussia Dortmund players felt exhausted; they had fought for so long, from having the advantage to being overtaken, and in the end, they had nothing left.
Piszczek squatted on the ground, his face full of regret.
How could he have let it slip by!
Clearly, he was still immersed in the regret of that missed ball.
Under such circumstances, it was difficult for Borussia Dortmund to organize a decent attack again, as they could barely maintain their defense.
"At 67 minutes, Real Madrid went from being behind to a two-goal lead. This Real Madrid once again shows us what it means to be a powerhouse with deep roots."
"Last season's Real Madrid might have had a chance of being defeated, but after the adjustments this season, they quickly regained their form. However, the match isn't over yet; Borussia Dortmund still has a chance, lads, fight on!"
The German commentator cheered them on.
But honestly, he couldn't see any turning points, but he couldn't say anything discouraging because of it.
After conceding another goal, Borussia Dortmund's counterattack became even more intense.
Sometimes, they even pushed forward recklessly, causing their defense to be repeatedly in danger.
But they had no choice; they couldn't accept a defeat at home.
For this, they could only try their best.
But Real Madrid wouldn't always miss such opportunities.
During another fierce counterattack by Borussia Dortmund, Ramos seized the opportunity, making a tackle and kicking the ball to Kroos.
Kroos received the ball and immediately looked to the right.
Bale also had a feeling and immediately started his run.
Bale sprinted, and as he ran a few steps and looked up, the ball was already in front of him.
One has to admire the long-passing ability of Real Madrid's central defenders and midfielders.
Kroos, Srna, Kaka, and others all had exquisite footwork, able to accurately find their teammates from a long distance.
This ball was very stable, and controlling it was quite comfortable.
In fact, Bale controlled the ball horizontally with his right foot.
The moment Durm paused, he used his left foot to dribble and accelerate again, a crisscross technique that left Durm dizzy.
Bale surged towards the byline, and with a leading position, he delivered a very smooth cross.
And inside the penalty area, Borussia Dortmund's center-back was also staring intently at the ball.
"Mark Benzema!"
Hummels loudly directed his teammates, indicating that he would go for the header.
Just as he was judging the landing spot, he suddenly heard intense footsteps beside him, and it was these footsteps that made Hummels' heart race.
The next second, a figure suddenly swept past him.
Suker ran from the left side to the right side, directly rushing to the near post position, and then leaped up suddenly.
Did he run past it?
Hummels thought subconsciously.
But the next second, he saw Suker's feet suddenly stop, his leg muscles bursting with infinite explosive power, lifting his entire body upwards.
He shot forward like a rocket, his starting motion identical to a volleyball jump.
Converting the kinetic energy of running into the kinetic energy of jumping allowed him to jump higher.
Suker leaped high like that, meeting the ball with a powerful diving header!
Swish!
The ball grazed the right goalpost at the near side, entering the goal at an extremely tricky angle.
At 70 minutes, Real Madrid led Borussia Dortmund 3-1 away.
In 25 minutes of the second half, Real Madrid scored three consecutive goals.
In the camera, Suker landed and suddenly raised his hands.
"What did I say? We'll finish the battle in 30 minutes!"
Benzema heard every word clearly from the side, his heart pounding.
He's so damn good!
He said 30 minutes, and it was 30 minutes.
In fact, he had already finished the battle before 30 minutes were even up.
One assist, two goals!
He created three consecutive goals, directly taking Real Madrid from behind to a leading position.
And these three goals were all in different styles!
For the first assist, Suker demonstrated his wide vision and precise through-ball ability.
The second goal was purely a manifestation of his technique and shooting skills.
The third goal was a simple, brutal header!
With a guy like this lurking in front of the goal, it's hard not to score.
"It's going to be very difficult to play this game now."
The German commentator's tone softened, no longer as impassioned as before.
Anyone encountering such a situation would feel the same way.
Being three goals down after having the advantage, one has to admire Real Madrid's ability to handle disadvantaged situations.
But at the same time, one is amazed by Suker's control over opportunities.
To be honest, Borussia Dortmund's defense was still very good, not giving Real Madrid too many chances.
But in the few opportunities available, Suker seized them consecutively, scoring three goals.
It's hard to imagine how many goals such a super striker could score if he were given more opportunities.
Moreover, the first two goals weren't entirely dependent on others.
Instead, Suker created the opportunities himself.
He can dribble past opponents, pass, assist, and his ability to seize opportunities is outstanding. This guy is definitely the Satan of contemporary football.
Ancelotti also sighed repeatedly on the sidelines.
"This guy never tries to be anyone else; he's always just being himself!"
"During my time at Milan, I wanted to train him to be Inzaghi, then I wanted him to be Shevchenko, and finally, I thought he had the ability to become Ronaldo, but now I've realized that his early imitations were just to enrich his arsenal. From beginning to end, he never thought of becoming anyone else, but rather becoming the best version of himself!"
"He made himself the most brilliant star in football. Just like today, many media outlets give talented players the title of 'Little Suker,' the name Suker is now synonymous with honor and championships."
Zidane: "In 2005, we played against Suker for the first time. At that time, he was still playing in Croatia. That Dinamo Zagreb team already amazed me. It's interesting that Ronalno, at the time, voluntarily exchanged jerseys with Suker after the game. I was very puzzled at the time, given the fame of Ronaldo and Suker, it should have been Suker who took the initiative to do this, but Ronaldo said that Suker's talent would eventually amaze everyone."
Zidane slowly exhaled, saying with a hint of emotion: "Looking back now, his judgment was correct."
Ancelotti suddenly laughed: "How good Suker's performance is, that represents how valuable my flight to Zagreb was at that time."
On the very night the Champions League final, the Istanbul Night, concluded, Ancelotti flew to Zagreb.
He showed Suker full sincerity and respect, ultimately bringing the youngest Champions League Golden Boot winner into his fold.
And what he gained in return was the twilight glow of the Milan Dynasty and Suker's brilliant professional career.
