Suker's goal left the Bayern Munich players feeling exhausted.
From trailing to overturning the deficit, and now trailing again.
Moreover, there wasn't much time left.
Sometimes, they wondered why time passed so slowly when they were previously in the lead.
But now, they felt like there wasn't enough time.
Physical exhaustion was already deadly, and now being in a trailing position, the psychological gap was even greater, as if the remaining stamina was being drained away little by little, and a sense of fatigue surged into their hearts.
Some even began to doubt if they could truly make a comeback.
After all, their opponent was Real Madrid!
Although Bayern Munich had a reputation in European competitions, Real Madrid's name was even more resounding.
Real Madrid truly had a knack for playing in the Champions League!
Whether it was metaphysics or experience, in this match, Real Madrid's psychological pressure on them was indeed immense.
It was fine when they were leading, but now that they were trailing, this terrible feeling and sense of loss became incredibly tormenting.
"There's not much time left, we need to hurry up and attack!" Cristiano Ronaldo approached Lahm.
Lahm frowned, wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Alonso, who was nearby, spoke first: "I can cross from deep, but the problem is you'll face their double-teaming!"
"It doesn't matter!" Cristiano Ronaldo shook his head: "Even if I'm double-teamed, I'm still in a dangerous area. As long as the ball is sent here, we'll have a chance!"
At this point, Cristiano Ronaldo emphasized again: "Try to send the ball to the front field as much as possible!"
With that, Cristiano Ronaldo turned and left.
He still looked full of fighting spirit, and it was hard to see any despondency on his face. The match wasn't over, so his battle wouldn't end.
He firmly believed that even until the last moment of the match, there was still a chance to turn the tide!
Besides, they were only one goal down, far from the point of collapse!
"Bayern Munich won't give up so easily!"
After celebrating, Suker slowly retreated.
At this moment, he would stall for time whenever possible, and no matter how eagerly the Bayern players looked on, Suker simply didn't quicken his pace.
This was a reasonable use of the rules!
"Their next attack will definitely be more ferocious!" Ramos said.
Suker: "We can use it appropriately. Once they push too far forward, you just clear it long!"
"It's pretty much the same. Send the ball to the front field, and I'll figure it out myself!"
At this moment, Suker and Cristiano Ronaldo had both reached the same conclusion.
They were both telling their teammates to send the ball to the front field as much as possible, and then rely on their own abilities to create goals.
As top strikers, and as top superstars!
Both of them had their own pride, especially at this moment. It was not just a confrontation between two teams, but also a confrontation between the key players of both sides.
Real Madrid would certainly not let Bayern Munich score, as this meant that the advantage they had finally gained would be handed over!
Bayern Munich's offensive rhythm would not stop, because they did not want to be eliminated; only attack was an option.
"Suker and Ronaldo, if we look closely at their runs, we can see that they both have a very strong desire to score. Both of them appear in an intensely contested environment, and their positions are undoubtedly the best landing spots for the ball!"
For many strikers, their so-called goal-scoring instincts seemed commonplace for these two.
They could not only sense the characteristics of these positions but also take concrete action.
Bang!
Suker was caught between Boateng and Dante, barely managing to head the ball, but the ball successfully dipped and flew out of bounds, grazing the crossbar.
"That was truly dangerous!"
Even without a goal, it still made the German commentator's heart tremble.
Every touch Suker made gave him and the Bayern fans a sense of panic.
Suker was too dangerous!
Of course, for Real Madrid, Cristiano Ronaldo was equally tricky.
Ramos and Pepe almost marked Cristiano Ronaldo throughout, preventing him from getting into a particularly effective shooting position, constantly interfering with him, which prevented him from performing.
In the current situation, they all understood that any goal would kill the suspense of the match!
"80 minutes!"
The German commentator and the Spanish commentator said this almost simultaneously.
At the same time, both coaching benches also began to make tactical adjustments, preparing to use their last substitution for the final adjustment.
But at this very moment, the situation on the field changed dramatically!
Casemiro's forward interception curbed Bayern Munich's attack and also successfully sent the ball to Suker's feet in front.
Suker had originally intended to drop back to participate in defense, so his position was a bit deeper.
But before he could run to a defensive position, the suddenly rolling ball surprised him.
Suker didn't hesitate at all, turned with the ball, and directly launched an attack.
Guardiola stood up abruptly, his eyes filled with panic.
Watching Suker stride forward, charging towards their half, his heart couldn't stop trembling.
At this moment, Suker had already crossed the midfield line, heading straight for their backline.
"Can they stop him?"
Guardiola's voice was trembling slightly.
Stop him!
Even if it means a foul!
Boateng had the same thought. It wouldn't be easy to make a clean tackle from Suker's feet; he might even be dribbled past by Suker.
But leaving both Suker and the ball behind, that was relatively easier!
With that thought, Boateng didn't retreat but advanced.
"Dante, pay attention to the defense!"
After shouting this, Boateng immediately charged towards Suker.
Dante also immediately moved to balance the defensive position in the center.
Suker was sprinting, and Boateng was also sprinting.
The two quickly approached each other. Boateng was determined to foul, even if it meant getting a card.
For this, his actions were also wide and open, directly lunging into a sliding tackle head-on.
But at this moment, Suker seemed to have anticipated it. While still a slight distance away, Suker looked up slightly to his left, then with a small swing of his left foot, he poked the ball forward with his toe.
Facing the ensuing collision, Suker jumped slightly, but was still tackled down by Boateng!
But that was no longer the key, because Suker had successfully passed the ball, and Real Madrid's attack was still continuing.
Da da da da da da da!!!
Bale sprinted forward along the wing at high speed!
His speed was very fast, swinging his arms and thighs fully, keeping himself in a state of continuous high-speed sprinting.
When receiving Suker's pass, he didn't meticulously control the ball, but powerfully kicked it in front of him.
The ball rolled past Alaba into the empty space behind him, while Bale accelerated to full speed, sweeping past.
"I'll beat you with speed!"
Bale was full of fighting spirit.
At Real Madrid, he had always been a supporting character, a green leaf.
But even a green leaf has its time to shine.
And this moment was when he needed to perform!
Suker successfully attracted the defense and distributed the ball, which was already very well done.
Now, he needed to kick the ball into Bayern Munich's goal and kill the suspense of this match!
With that thought, Bale caught up to the ball, and without hesitation, he swung his right foot and unleashed a fierce shot!
"Gareth Bale!! Shot!!"
Gonzalez roared.
The ball slammed towards Bayern Munich's goal like a cannonball.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Neuer.
Neuer took a lateral step, leaping to make a save.
He strained his fingers, hoping to touch the ball with his fingertips.
A slight tension and some pain came from his fingertips. Neuer dared not relax, straining his fingers as much as possible, and poked the ball.
The ball changed its trajectory slightly under the force, and with a 'ding', it hit the crossbar and bounced out.
"Neuer!! He saved it! Neuer held it—"
Before he could finish his sentence, the German commentator's tone suddenly became terrified.
The ball that had flown out returned to the air once again.
And a figure streaked across the sky, a diving header fiercely striking the ball.
"This ball..."
In these few tenths of a second, how much the German commentator wished someone could stand up and block this shot.
But this time, no one could make any effective blocking action.
Everyone could only watch as the ball went into the goal.
Swish!
The ball hit the net!
Suker also landed heavily, looking somewhat disheveled, but the moment he saw the goal, Suker immediately got up from the ground and ran towards the corner flag.
"Goal!! Goal! Suker! It's Suker again!"
"Bale's shot didn't go in, but Suker scored on the rebound!"
"With a brilliant diving header, Suker accurately appeared at the landing spot of the ball and put it into the goal."
"Real Madrid completely overturned the score, killing the suspense of the match in the final moments!"
"A two-goal difference, and with less than ten minutes remaining, Bayern Munich has no chance! We won't give them that chance!"
"Suker! Suker!"
González kept muttering Suker's name; he didn't know how to praise Suker anymore.
One or two such performances were already amazing enough.
But for it to be like this every time, that's a true god!
"Beautiful!"
In Real Madrid's VIP box, at the moment Suker scored, Florentino suddenly stood up and cheered loudly.
At the same time, the surrounding staff and executives also cheered and shouted, their expressions excited.
Soon, intense applause erupted, and everyone was clapping.
Florentino was surrounded by everyone, his face full of smiles.
"The greatest decision I made was to bring Suker to Real Madrid!"
When Florentino said this, everyone around him nodded.
This wasn't just to flatter Florentino; it was simply the truth.
In Real Madrid's Champions League campaigns over the past few years, Suker's presence and crucial contributions were evident in every Champions League.
As Real Madrid became an ironclad strong army, Suker's role was even more critical in situations where they came from behind.
And for such a player, they only spent one hundred million!
At the time, one hundred million was indeed an exaggerated figure, but several years later, looking back now, one hundred million is a bargain price!
And the contributions and commercial value Suker provided are far beyond that!
"Gentlemen, I think we can celebrate making it to the Champions League Final!"
Florentino announced loudly.
After a year of slump, Real Madrid rose again.
This battle was beautifully fought and sufficiently uplifting.
Not only did they achieve revenge, but they also accomplished their phase goal.
On the field, with Suker's goal, the Bayern Munich players' expressions became dejected.
At this moment, it was as if all the strength had been suddenly drained from their bodies.
Although they knew they should fight, it was just a thought; the deep-seated fatigue and physical weakness told them that even if they tried harder, the score would be difficult to change.
They are all professional players; they all have their own judgment.
If it was before this goal, the possibility of a comeback still existed.
But after this goal, the hope of victory was infinitely close to zero.
Gasp! Gasp! Gasp!
Cristiano Ronaldo squatted on the ground, breathing heavily; in the last ten minutes of the second half, he truly ran with all his might.
He was involved in both offense and defense.
His performance was very similar to Suker's; he participated in both attack and defense.
But in the end, he couldn't wait for or create a goal.
Instead, Real Madrid used a counter-attack opportunity to win the match.
Disappointed?
Of course, he was disappointed. For Cristiano Ronaldo, he wanted to prove himself.
This proof was not just one Ballon d'Or, but continuously winning the Ballon d'Or and continuously defeating Suker to become the most outstanding athlete.
But this goal told him that this season's expectations were dashed.
This was a desperate goal!
Even with Cristiano Ronaldo's tenacious will, he had to admit that at this moment, they had basically lost.
In the roaring Bernabéu, Real Madrid fans were cheering to welcome the Champions League.
Loud singing echoed throughout the stadium, and the overall atmosphere began to become lively.
And on the outskirts of the stadium, fans who were reluctant to leave also gathered together to celebrate the goal at this moment.
In the crowd, a fan held up Real Madrid's No. 9 jersey.
The large number of fans surrounding him also chanted the name 'Suker'.
And as the sound grew louder and more uniform, 'Suker' gradually turned into 'King'.
At this moment, they shouted this title from the bottom of their hearts.
With such a performance, if his contributions can't be called a King, then who else can become the King of Real Madrid?
"Substitute Suker!"
Ancelotti forced himself to calm down.
Suker's goal made him incredibly excited, but as a Head Coach, he had to remain calm at all times.
But his hands, tucked into his pockets, were tightly clenched into fists.
"That was truly beautiful!"
Ancelotti couldn't help but exclaim softly.
This victory would be the beginning of Real Madrid's revival.
After a season of decline, he would rewrite Real Madrid's slump.
At this moment, as Real Madrid's Head Coach, he had initially proven himself.
But he couldn't relax yet; the match was not over, and they had to ensure the final victory.
In the 85th minute, Real Madrid made their last substitution, bringing Suker off the field and replacing him with Arbeloa.
This was to reinforce their defense!
And this also meant that Real Madrid would now defend the score.
Bayern Munich was naturally unwilling to give up; Guardiola also substituted the exhausted Cristiano Ronaldo, bringing on Robert Lewandowski.
However, the time left for Robert Lewandowski was limited; even though he was excellent, it would be difficult for him to change the score in the match.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Suker left the field at the same time.
This almost meant that the match was basically over, and the suspense had become very small.
In the camera, the expressions of the two formed a stark contrast.
Suker was smiling, while Cristiano Ronaldo's face was filled with unwillingness.
There was no communication between them; they consciously regarded each other as rivals, so they wouldn't actively communicate.
After Suker came off the field, he plopped down on the bench.
"You played great!"
Zidane walked over, patted Suker's shoulder, and then gave a thumbs-up.
Suker smiled and accepted the praise calmly.
Suker was also quite satisfied with his performance in this match.
On Bayern Munich's bench, Schweinsteiger turned his head to look at Real Madrid's bench, specifically at Suker.
He slowly shook his head and sighed; "He's doing it again!"
"What?"
Muller asked.
Schweinsteiger sighed and shook his head, but said nothing.
For these older Bayern players, what they cared about most was Suker during his Milan period.
At that time, facing Milan, the slaughter was one part of it.
Suker's consecutive hat-tricks were also a part of it.
And in this match, after the start of the second half, Suker once again completed a hat-trick in a limited amount of time.
It was as if whenever he faced Bayern Munich, this guy would easily perform like this.
He didn't know if it was a curse or something.
He even couldn't distinguish if this match was lost to Real Madrid or lost to Suker.
But that no longer mattered!
Schweinsteiger looked up at the scoreboard; time was running out.
And the score was still Real Madrid 3:2 Bayern Munich.
Finally, the 90 minutes plus injury time ended.
The entire match was officially declared over.
Three whistles sounded, and Real Madrid ultimately defeated Bayern Munich 3:2, securing their Champions League ticket with an aggregate score of 5:3 over two legs.
Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, two teams from the same city, both made it to the Champions League.
They will stage a Champions League, the first ever city derby in history!
"Match over! The match is over! Let us congratulate Real Madrid on defeating Bayern Munich; they have washed away last season's shame and secured a spot in the Champions League Final!"
"Real Madrid has secured the second ticket to the Champions League Final!"
"Real Madrid is once again challenging new history!"
"And in this match, Suker once again became the key player!"
"His second-half hat-trick is the best testament to him; even against an opponent as strong as Bayern Munich, they still couldn't stop Suker's scoring spree."
"With a perfect performance of three goals, Suker announced to the world why he is the Ballon d'or Winner with five awards!"
"With Suker in such red-hot form, he will not only be active on the Champions League stage but also in the World Cup in June!"
"Alright! The match is over, and Real Madrid and Suker will continue to move forward! Let's look forward to his even better performances in the future!"
