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

Chapter 1042 The happiest person
When the football flew into the goal and then hit the net above the goal to stop, the entire Stade de France erupted in huge cheers.

The cheers came from the Manchester United fans, who made up half of the crowd. They had become the protagonists of the stadium, while the Liverpool fans, who also made up half of the crowd, were no longer a big deal.

Manchester United fans were cheering, jumping, and roaring in every way they could think of... they were venting all the emotions that had been pent up in their hearts.

The half of the stadium where Manchester United fans gathered seemed to have turned into flowing water, constantly rising and falling, with arms waving and heads crowding around.

That noise really drowned out all other sounds.

………………

The commentators in the commentary booth pressed the microphones on their headsets to their lips and shouted as loudly as they could, but they didn't know whether their voices could be clearly transmitted to the back.

"Bruno! Bruno!! Bruno!!!" Zhan Jun shouted Bruno's name loudly. At this moment, he had completely forgotten his identity as a Liverpool fan and was truly impressed by Bruno. "It's incredible! The Portuguese scored twice! He once again defeated Liverpool! This is the third time he has scored the winning goal against Liverpool in a game this season. He is the real Liverpool nemesis!"

The German commentator stretched out his voice and shouted like crazy: "TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!!!! TOR! TOR! TOR!! B-R-U-N-O--! The Manchester United captain defeated Liverpool!"

The Portuguese television commentator was even more excited, repeatedly shouting: "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! Bruno GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!"

As a Bruno fan, BBC commentator Lineker was extremely excited at this moment, saying: "Bruno! It's Bruno! The 93th minute of the game! Bruno once again kills Liverpool! Think about the League Cup final at the end of February. It was Bruno's goal at the 48rd minute and 4 seconds of the game that defeated Liverpool. And in the supplementary match of the 20th round of the league on April 30, the decisive battle between Manchester United and Liverpool, it was also Bruno's goal in the last minute that ended Liverpool's hopes of winning the league title! And now, he will once again snatch the Champions League title from Liverpool! He truly deserves to be called the 'Liverpool Killer'!"

………………

At this time, no one had time to talk about how beautiful the goal was, but instead focused on highlighting the importance of this goal.

A last-minute goal or a goal that goes into an empty net deserves to be treated this way.

Just when everyone thought that the game would go to a penalty shootout, Bruno's goal excited everyone!
The penalty shootout is exciting, but the last-minute goal is even more exciting!
What's more, this is the third time this season that Bruno has scored the winning goal against Liverpool in an important game. It feels unreal just thinking about it. It's simply too magical!

After scoring the goal, Bruno fell to the ground, struggled to get up, and ran towards the corner flag area.

Harry Kane behind him wanted to hug him, but his foot slipped and he failed to stop Bruno.

However, Bruno was stopped by other Manchester United teammates. McTominay rushed up from the side, knocked Bruno to the ground, and then pressed on him.

More Manchester United players arrived and formed a human pyramid.

They jumped up and cheered, then pressed down on Bruno.

………………

Everyone at Manchester United was excited, not just the players on the field, but also Mourinho and others in front of the coaching bench.

Manchester United's head coach was originally squatting on the ground, supporting himself with one hand and pinching his chin with the other, staring at the field nervously.

When Bruno kicked the football into the goal, he jumped up, rushed out with his arms raised high, then jumped in the air excitedly, waving his fists.

After landing, he put his hands on his hips and laughed out loud.

This shot was captured by the photographers and became an iconic shot in reporting the game after the game.

Mourinho was smiling very happily in the camera, and that kind of hearty smile could not be faked.

Some media commented after the game: "Mourinho smiled as if he had the whole world under his feet!"

This smile was not only on Mourinho's face, but also on the faces of almost all Manchester United fans. They laughed heartily.

At this moment, they are the happiest people in the world!

………………

The TV was replaying Bruno's goal. After the excitement, the commentators finally had time to explain the goal to everyone.

"...Scoring a last-minute goal in such a crucial Champions League final is remarkable in itself, but what's even more remarkable is how beautiful it was!" Liverpool fan Zhan Jun praised Bruno's goal highly, saying, "Even this goal alone is a contender for the Puskas Award!"

Zhan Jun's praise was already very high, but as the number one "Bruno fan" in world football today, Lineker had no moral integrity when praising Bruno. The British commentator known as the gentleman of football said directly: "This is not only the best goal of the Champions League this season, I think it is the best goal in the history of the Champions League!"

Previously, UEFA's all-time best Champions League goal came from Zinedine Zidane, the French midfielder for Real Madrid, in the 2002 Champions League final. In that match, Real Madrid, known as the Galácticos, faced Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen. During the game, Real Madrid's left-back Roberto Carlos delivered a less-than-perfect cross from the wing, sending the ball high into the penalty area. Zidane, standing still, unleashed a powerful shot that found the back of the net.

It was a difficult volley, with Zidane's foot almost reaching his chest. Even with such a difficult volley, Zidane was very accurate and the ball went into the goal.

This goal helped Real Madrid lead Leverkusen 2-1 and ultimately win the championship. This "flying fairy" goal became a classic and was eventually selected as the best goal in Champions League history.

………………

In terms of importance, both were winning goals in the final. Bruno's goal was closer to the end of the game and had the meaning of a last-minute victory.

In terms of entertainment value, Bruno's goal is no less enjoyable than Zidane's.

Both goals were beautiful, just beautiful in different ways.

In terms of difficulty, Zidane's high-leg volley was extremely difficult, but Bruno's two consecutive lobs, one of which was with his back to the opponent, and the last lob when he was about to pass the ball downwards were also extremely difficult.

As for the person who scored the goal, Zidane was one of the few superstars in world football at that time. He had won the World Cup and the European Cup, and was the holder of the highest honors in football such as the Ballon d'Or and the World Footballer of the Year. He was definitely a quasi-king-level figure.

Bruno is no less impressive, and can even be said to be even better.

Zidane was not considered the best player in football at that time, but at least Brazilian Ronaldo was no less famous than him.

Although there is still the saying of the Big Three in world football today, with Bruno leading Manchester United to dominate world football, he has become the undisputed number one in football and a true king.

Moreover, Bruno's goal has special significance: this is Bruno's 19th Champions League goal this season, breaking his record of 2018 goals in a single Champions League season in the 2019-18 season!

………………

Manchester United players finally ended their celebration and surrounded Bruno back to their own half.

After Bruno scored the goal, everyone knew that Bruno had defeated Liverpool.

Although there were still about three minutes left in the second half of overtime, if the referee Tilpan gave some more injury time, it would not exceed five minutes.

You should know that in principle there is no injury time in overtime. At least the fourth official will not stand on the sidelines with a sign telling everyone how much extra time will be added.

If there is injury time in overtime, it is entirely up to the referee on duty. He can give it if he wants to, and he has the final say on how many minutes he wants to give.

If he doesn't want to give it, he can just blow the whistle to end the game at the moment the 120th minute is up.

So in fact, there is really not much time left for Liverpool!
………………

After the game restarted, Manchester United retreated across the board. At this point, they were ahead, and as long as they could maintain their one-goal lead until the end of the game, they would win. So there was no need to continue besieging Liverpool's goal. If the opponent took the opportunity to counterattack and score a goal, it would be a loss.

Bruno was also among those returning to defend.

Although he actually had no strength left, he was still able to force Liverpool to take a detour to avoid him by blocking the opponent's passing position.

Meanwhile, Mourinho had already called Fred from the bench to warm up, meaning he was about to replace Bruno.

Manchester United's players were well aware that Bruno's physical condition made it almost impossible for him to run, so in reality, Manchester United was now playing with only ten men. However, no Manchester United player would complain about Bruno's lack of running. They just wanted to run more and fill the gap left by Bruno's lack of running.

They had always been taken care of by Bruno, and now it was finally their turn to take care of Bruno. This made the Manchester United players feel good.

In front of Bruno, they were finally useful.

………………

After conceding the goal, Liverpool launched a very fierce attack on Manchester United's goal. Although their own physical strength was also running out, if they didn't fight now, what would be the point of having the remaining physical strength?
But facing the united Manchester United, Liverpool didn't have much to do.

Their players' physical fitness is not much better than Manchester United's, and may even be worse.
