The perfect midfield: It starts with never passing the ball to Ronaldo.

Chapter 88: He knocks Mario to the ground with a headbutt?

Pogba was furious. He really wanted to replicate his idol's move and headbutted Mario, knocking him to the ground!

But doing so will undoubtedly allow Mario to succeed and make the people of Porto even happier.

The only option for those with a "kill-mat" style is to learn from Ah Gui and use the "spiritual victory method" to comfort themselves!

Is scoring a goal in the Champions League really that impressive?

So what if you're ranked number one on the top scorers list?

In the fiercely competitive Champions League, you Porto will never have a chance to win the Champions League!

Although Juventus are currently trailing by one goal, there is no doubt that if we can advance to the semi-finals, we have a better chance of lifting the Champions League trophy than you!

The scoreboard showed a 1-0 mark, and the cheers from the Estádio do Dragão stadium continued.

The competition intensified.

Trailing by one goal, Juventus continued their relentless attack.

This time, Marchisio made a lightning-fast breakthrough in the attacking third using his individual skills, and Otamendi responded very well.

The Argentinians positioned themselves to block the angle, and under their pressure, the opponent's shot did not pose much of a threat.

Offense and defense shift.

The home team's attack was very decisive. Moutinho made a long pass to Martinez, who then passed it back to his compatriot Rodriguez.

James Rodriguez stretched the defense and tried to pass the ball across the penalty area, but after getting past Barzagli, he couldn't get past Bonucci, who made a clean interception and took control of the ball.

Bonucci is a prime example of a playmaker who can effectively distribute the ball, and he has exceptional footwork, initiating attacks directly from his own half.

Pogba, taking advantage of his height, controlled the ball, and a disdainful smile appeared on the Frenchman's face as he faced Otamendi's interference.

He leaned back, adopting a posture of forcing himself to eat.

However, during the second physical contact, he turned around and hooked the Argentine with his long leg, clearly taking advantage of the Argentine's shorter legs.

With his perfectly coordinated movements, he pulled and bounced, outmaneuvering the recovering defender, Feng Zarese.

To possess such skill at this height is truly a gift.

That wasn't all. On the edge of the penalty area, Pogba, on the move, delivered a subtle, powerful lob pass that instantly amplified the threat.

Quagliarella attempted a side-step aerial slash, but unfortunately, due to interference, she couldn't generate enough power and Elton easily intercepted it!

Juventus's fierce attack continues, and the dragon's counterattack should not be underestimated.

This time it was Martinez's solo breakthrough. The Colombian striker dodged and weaved on the byline, cutting to the left and right before slotting the ball into the far corner!

The dangerous shot startled the Juventus fans in the stands, but fortunately Buffon's excellent goalkeeping skills allowed him to make a successful save.

They haven't scored a goal since the start of the match, and they almost let their opponents extend their lead again, making the fans a little impatient.

Especially as time ticks away, this feeling is also conveyed to the players on the green field.

"Juventus actually had a few chances early on, but unfortunately, their attacking line couldn't capitalize on them!"

"This is a recurring problem for Juventus this season; their winter signings have been completely ineffective!"

"They're currently trailing in the overall score and their offensive firepower is waning!!"

"Look at this attack, Pogba chose to take a long-range shot directly."

"The ball was blocked by a defender!"

"So far in these two rounds of the series, Carrington's talent hasn't been as outstanding as Mario's!"

"Let's first look at the home team's counter-attack!"

On the field, Juventus' defense became fragmented due to their high press. Bonucci was still in the center circle and had not returned. Barzagli was moving to the wing to cover, and Chiellini had a wide open space behind him.

Martinez was lingering on the edge of that open area!

Moutinho did not hesitate, twisting his waist and abdomen, and precisely pushed the ball with the instep of his foot.

The ball skimmed along the grass, slipping through the gaps in Juventus' midfield. It swept past Pogba's left and Pirlo's right, precisely and ruthlessly tearing apart the entire defense!

Martinez started his sprint the moment the ball was passed to him.

His explosive power was fully displayed in that instant. On the first step, he was level with Barzagli; on the second step, he pulled away by a body length; and on the third step, he completely overtook Barzagli.

Although the Italian is experienced and has an excellent sense of positioning, he is no match for Martinez in terms of explosiveness and speed.

Chiellini glanced up at Mario and Rodriguez, who were speeding forward. He had no choice but to fight and retreat, blocking their path and waiting for his teammates to return or disrupt their plans.

Martinez, sprinting down the wing, easily took possession of the ball. Without holding onto it, he swept his right foot across the ball, sending it curving rapidly along the grass towards the edge of the penalty area!

Martinez bypassed Barzagli, who was closely following him, while simultaneously preventing Chiellini from getting close enough to intercept him!

Mario, aggressive and fast-paced, is running at high speed.

His eyes were fixed on the incoming ball, but his peripheral vision was scanning everything around him.

Chiellini quickly covered two meters to his left, while Buffon moved on the goal line to block the near post.

Stand with your left leg planted, then swing your right foot back!

The moment Mario saw Chiellini fall to the ground, his movements instantly softened.

He pushed off with his right foot, then drew the bow and nocked the arrow again!

The Juventus fans in the stands were extremely anxious, as they could see Bonucci rapidly closing in.

The long-range shot from Porto's number 22 in the first leg is still fresh in our minds; we absolutely cannot give him that chance!

Bonucci, who was breathing heavily, smelled a fishy odor.

The effects of his alveoli working under high load actually made him more conscious.

He saw Mario's right foot swing backward a second time, and this time there was nothing in front of the young man!

We must not let him kick.

The moment the thought exploded in Bonucci's mind, his body reacted.

Extend your right hand and place it on your opponent's shoulder, disrupting Mario's balance!

The referee's whistle blew sharply!

"foul!!"

"Bonucci knocked Mario down!!"

"Yellow card! Bonucci has received a yellow card!"

"This call is correct; it was a clear tactical foul that prevented a threatening attack!"

"He sprinted forty meters at top speed, Bonucci did his best, and we can't be too demanding of him at a moment like this!"

"Mario's long-range shots are terrifying. It is precisely with this skill that the Portuguese genius is at the top of the Champions League scoring charts!"

""

"If Mario had taken that shot from that position, there would have been a very high chance it would have gone in!!"

—[A free kick plus a yellow card for Bonucci isn't a bad deal for Porto!]

—【Wow, you guys are basically assuming Mario will score this ball!!】

—【What's the difference between Mario's long-range shots from open spaces and training sessions? Buffon has to get the ball back!】

—【Let's leave the previous discussion aside and see what the verdict is this time on the free kick~】

—【Moutinho, Mario, and James Rodriguez all seem to want to be penalized; they've been discussing it for so long!】
