From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 1016: Real Madrid's Opportunity
Osato's whistle sounded again, accompanied by boos from Real Madrid fans, who still believed that Osato's decision was wrong.

Valverde also made a Bruno dive gesture to Osato.

Anyway, since Van Dijk's handball was not called, any decision made by Osato that is unfavorable to Real Madrid will be booed by Real Madrid fans in the stands and dissatisfied by Real Madrid players.

After seeing Valverde's move, Lineker said unhappily: "What does Valverde mean by this move? Saying Bruno dived? You must be kidding! With such a big move, Bruno couldn't dodge it even if he jumped up. And dive? I really hope Bruno dived. At least there's no risk of injury..."

After Bruno was knocked down by Valverde, he covered his face with his hands and rolled on the ground, unable to get up.

Amidst boos, Osato gave Valverde a yellow card.

Lineker shouted in dissatisfaction: "Yellow card?! Foul from behind! Just a yellow card?! I think it would not be too much to give him a red card!"

Mourinho was also very unhappy and protested on the sidelines: "This should be a red card! This is a very bad foul!"

Real Madrid players came forward to protest against Van Dijk's handball, while Manchester United players came out to speak up for Bruno and thought that a yellow card was too easy for Valverde.

In any case, Osato's enforcement today is bound to please neither side.

………………

While the players from both teams were making a fuss, Greenwood did not join in the fun. Instead, he ran to Bruno's side, squatted down and asked with concern: "Are you okay, Bruno?"

Bruno narrowed his eyes and grinned, "Not bad..."

"But it doesn't sound good from your voice." Greenwood frowned.

"It's a hard injury, it hurts a bit, but it will be fine after it subsides." Bruno said gritting his teeth, his voice now much more normal.

"Do you want me to pull you up?" Greenwood continued to ask.

Bruno waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, let me lie on the ground for a while."

"It seems you are still..."

"No. I just want to buy some more time." Bruno winked at Greenwood with a sly smile on his face.

Only after seeing Bruno's smile did Greenwood feel relieved and believe that Bruno was really fine.

After getting permission from the referee Osato, Manchester United's physiotherapist John Davin ran up, squatted at Bruno's feet and checked his injury.

"I still dodged it, but not completely," Bruno introduced to him.

Davin nodded as he sprayed Bruno's ankle with cooling spray, "I know."

Then he deftly took out the medical tape and began to wrap it tightly around Bruno's left ankle.

It was really tight, and Bruno felt that his blood flow was cut off. He muttered, "It's too tight, John..."

"It's useless if it's not tight enough, or do you want to be replaced now?" Daven said as he continued to wrap the tape tightly.

"Uh, tighter, tighter, ha..." Bruno stopped shouting and let John Daven handle it for him.

………………

After dealing with it, Davin patted Bruno's thigh gently and said, "Okay, you can get up now."

Then he helped Bruno to stand up slowly and said to Bruno: "Try hard."

Bruno pushed the ground hard with his left foot, but felt no pain. He nodded to Daven and said, "It's okay. Thank you, John."

Daven gave him a thumbs up, turned and ran off the field.

Referee Osato signaled Bruno to leave the field.

According to regulations, if a player is injured and the team doctor comes on the field to treat him, the injured player must wait on the sidelines after treatment and can only return to the game after receiving a signal from the referee.

As Bruno limped towards the sidelines, Lineker said solemnly, "The team doctor came in and gave Bruno some simple treatment, wrapping him up with tape... I really hope Bruno's injury isn't too serious this time. The blow Valverde knocked him down just now was really heartbreaking..."

This is not just Lineker's concern, but the concern of all Manchester United fans.

Bruno is too important to Manchester United. Manchester United with him and Manchester United without him are completely two different teams.

With the team currently competing for titles on three fronts, if Bruno is injured and unable to play, Manchester United could face a collapse on all three fronts. By then, let alone a Grand Slam, the only title they might have is the League Cup, which they already have.

If this is true, Liverpool, who are competing with Manchester United for the championship on three fronts, will probably be very happy.

Just a day ago, Liverpool conceded two goals in the first half away from home, but then scored three goals in the second half to reverse the defeat against Villarreal, achieving a double kill against the Yellow Submarine and becoming the first to advance to the Champions League final.

In addition, they have reached the FA Cup final and still have hopes of winning the league standings. This season, the Reds still have hopes of winning the treble.

………………

Although Nacho and Valverde both received yellow cards, it didn't diminish Real Madrid's aggressiveness. The Real Madrid players now understand that playing courteously to avoid cards would be tantamount to surrendering prematurely and allowing Manchester United to reach the Champions League final for the fifth consecutive year, potentially even equaling their own record of five consecutive Champions League titles set 62 years ago.

In order to advance to the finals, rudeness is a must, because only by being rude can you regain the advantage on the field.

Even if I have to eat one or two cards for this, what does it matter?

Osato also turned a blind eye to this. I don’t know whether he felt that there was not much time left and wanted to relax the penalty standards for Real Madrid, or he was unwilling to endure the overwhelming boos from the Bernabeu stands.

In short, when both sides are fighting for the ball, he will be more inclined to the home team.

But this is normal and understandable, after all, this is Real Madrid's home ground.

………………

The game entered the 0th minute and the score had not changed. The score of 0: on the big screen seemed to be frozen.

"There is not much time left for Real Madrid..." He Wei said with mixed emotions.

Because of Bruno, He Wei hopes that Manchester United can reach the Champions League final. However, he is also a Real Madrid fan, which makes him hope that Real Madrid can reverse Manchester United at home and reach the Champions League final.

Lineker, who is also a commentator, did not have so many inner thoughts. Although he was nervous at the moment, he also felt a little more secure deep down in his heart.

After all, as time goes by, Real Madrid's hope of scoring three goals in the remaining time will become increasingly slim.

Who could have believed they could score three goals in ten minutes, especially against a Manchester United team led by Mourinho, who was known for his defense?

The Spanish TV commentator was still cheering Real Madrid on: "There are still ten minutes left, and including injury time, there may be at most fifteen minutes! Come on, Real Madrid! There is no such thing as destined failure in this world! As long as you work hard, you can always create miracles!"

………………

After eighty minutes, Real Madrid's attack became more fierce, and even central defenders Militao and Nacho were pushed to the center circle.

At this time, they did not consider whether the huge gap behind them would be used by Manchester United to counterattack.

Without such desperate faith and awareness, how could they have created a miracle at the last moment?

After continuously putting pressure on Manchester United's goal, Real Madrid finally had a good chance to score.

In the 82nd minute of the game, Benzema got the ball in the penalty area, but he was tightly covered by Maguire and there was no way he could turn around. Not only that, he was surrounded by Manchester United players, so he couldn't pass the ball sideways to Benzema who was also in the penalty area.

And he can't let the football stay at his feet for too long.

In the end, Benzema chose to pass the ball out of the penalty area.

This is somewhat disappointing to Real Madrid fans - if they pass the ball back, wouldn't the attack end there?
Benzema passed the ball to Camavinga outside the penalty area.

Camavinga received the ball and passed it through to Rodrigo on the right.

Rodrigo received the ball on the right and made a cross directly from the bottom. The ball was not passed up, but flew quickly to the front of the goal along the grass.

This low pass was very clever, making it difficult for Manchester United's defenders to make any moves, for fear of accidentally scoring an own goal.

But we can’t just watch the football roll past, right?

Maguire kicked the ball hard and tried to clear the ball at the front point.

But he didn't touch the ball and missed Benzema behind him!

Behind him, Benzema kicked the ball from a very close distance and the ball flew into the goal!

………………

"Benzema--!!" the Spanish commentator suddenly roared.

At the same time, huge cheers rang out at the Bernabeu Stadium.

Although it is already the 82nd minute, it is better to score a goal than not to score a goal at this time.

Most importantly, this goal gave all Real Madrid fans confidence: Maybe this is the beginning of a miracle!
After scoring the goal, Benzema did not celebrate. Instead, he rushed into the goal, picked up the ball, turned around and ran towards the center circle.

His teammates also ran back after him while celebrating.

At this time, every Real Madrid player knew that they didn't have much time left.

If you really want to create a miracle, you must seize every second!
He Wei said: "Real Madrid scored a goal! Now we are only two goals away from reaching the final! Including injury time, there are definitely more than ten minutes left. During this time, scoring two more goals should not be a difficult task for Real Madrid who are in full swing!"

"Manchester United should have tightened their defense and tried to hold on for the final ten minutes... They still have one goal to spare. If they concede one more, they can still advance to the final with a 4-3 aggregate score. But if they concede two more and the aggregate score becomes 4-4, Real Madrid will eliminate Manchester United with the away goals advantage..."
