Ground football: Ronaldo thought I was going to assist him

"Impact! That's what Real Madrid's attacking line lacks most! And that's what Sporting Lisbon has the strongest point!"

"Any of their midfielders or forwards has the ability to directly attack the opponent's defense!"

"Who will take this penalty? Ronaldo? He's missed three out of his last five penalties. Clearly, he hasn't practiced penalties yet, and that's the only missing piece in his shooting technique."

"Oh! Deng Kai stepped up and walked to the penalty spot. Ronaldo handed the ball to Deng Kai and gave him a hug."

"Let's take a look at Deng Kai's penalty kick stats... Wow! That's incredible! Deng Kai's penalty kick conversion rate is a whopping 95%! His penalties are terrifying! He practically treats penalties as goals!"

"If this penalty kick goes in, Deng Kai will complete a hat trick!"

"The Champions League final! Against Real Madrid! A hat-trick in either situation is priceless! When both come together... can Duncan do it?"

"He can do it! He definitely can! Deng Kai never lets Sporting Lisbon fans down!"

"Real Madrid is finished! Now they can only pray that Casillas can replicate the miracle he did two years ago."

boom!

when!

The scene was completely silent.

Then, Real Madrid fans erupted in heart-wrenching cheers.

"Oh my God!"

"Missed! Deng Kai actually missed his penalty!"

"this……"

"The football hit the crossbar and bounced away! Deng Kai was too focused on the angle; he wanted to shoot into an absolute corner! This..."

"There's no need for that. Deng Kai is too eager to score! As a result, it has affected his performance."

"I believe that if we did it a hundred times, Deng Kai would probably score ninety-nine times, but he just missed this time." He Wei even couldn't help but show his chicken feet when he got excited.

"And this is precisely the moment we absolutely cannot afford to miss!"

"Dunkay may be the King of Alvalade, but sorry, this is Bernard, oh, this is Hampton Park!"

"Real Madrid's morale has soared! Conversely, Sporting Lisbon is completely demoralized; Duncan's missed penalty was a huge blow to the team!"

"This is an ominous sign!"

Watching Casillas and his teammates celebrate wildly, the players of Sporting Lisbon felt their hearts sink.

Runner-up?

Of course, this is already an excellent achievement for a young person.

Historically, almost no top players have ever lifted the Champions League trophy in their youth, in their first Champions League appearance, or in their first Champions League final appearance.

This is perhaps an experience that young people must go through.

But... it was just a little short.

The Sporting Lisbon players walked numbly back to their own half, many with tears in their eyes.

If even Kai can't do that.

Who can do that?

In the stands, a family of four was also watching the game, but they weren't wearing Sporting Lisbon or Real Madrid jerseys; instead, they were wearing Brescia's number 10 jerseys from Serie A.

This is the jersey of Roberto Baggio, the famous Italian football star.

This season, the 35-year-old Baggio has been plagued by injuries, making very few appearances and having a very weak presence.

"Dad, why are they so sad?" Even the family's eight-year-old son noticed the poor performance of the Sporting Lisbon players.

The little boy's sister and mother were taken aback.

The mother even instinctively tried to cover her son's mouth.

The word "penalty" is not to be mentioned in their family.

The boy's father smiled, but the smile was somewhat heavy. He was wearing sunglasses, a mask, and a hat, which covered his face and the braid at the back of his head.

"In a team, some people can fail, but some people cannot fail," the father explained.

The little boy nodded: "So in the last game, Ronaldo cried, he lost, but he can lose. In this game, Deng Kai lost, but he can't lose?"

The father nodded: "Similarly, in a person's life, you have many opportunities to fail, but there are some opportunities that you absolutely must succeed. Once you miss them... it's a lifelong regret!"

"And penalties are the most regrettable of all these regrets!"

Next to the family, a fan pointed at the father's back and said, "That man's back looks like Roberto Baggio!"

The fans next to him shook their heads: "It's not Baggio, he's a bit chubby."

Soon, the first half of overtime ended.

Fifteen minutes later, the second half of overtime also ended.

There is one minute of added time.

But it was in that one minute.

After disappearing for more than ten minutes, the veteran Zidane suddenly made a forward run and broke into the penalty area!

Guti, the Golden Wolf, delivered what was perhaps the most thrilling and spectacular through ball of the match.

The ball passed by five Sporting Lisbon players and successfully entered the penalty area.

Schmeichel strikes!

He lunged forward desperately, trying to touch the ball first.

But Zidane lightly touched the ball with his toe, and with a Marseille turn, he crossed paths with Schmeichel.

Time stood still at that moment.

Schmeichel seemed to have entered bullet time.

Once Zidane gets past him, it's an open goal.

Schmeichel has never been as clear-headed as he is now.

His right hand suddenly exerted force and grabbed Zidane's foot.

drop!

The referee blew his whistle and pointed to the penalty spot.

He also showed Schmeichel a yellow card.

Vidic, Barzagli, Pepe, and others immediately surrounded the referee.

But Schmeichel walked to the sidelines with his head down.

He knew his Champions League final was over.

Perhaps... his professional career should be over by now?

Schmeichel knew this would become a famous moment in his career.

The backdrop after Zidane's divine descent to earth.

This treatment is actually quite good.

After all, that's Zidane.

boom!

Real Madrid fans were absolutely ecstatic.

"The last minute of stoppage time! Penalty!"

"Zidane is invincible! This is Zidane! God is wearing Real Madrid's number five jersey today!"

"Zidane won the penalty! Without a doubt, he'll take it! But the question is, who will Sporting Lisbon choose as their goalkeeper?"

"Sporting Lisbon has already used all three substitutions, so they can't bring on a backup goalkeeper. And... Sporting Lisbon's third-choice goalkeeper hasn't played much for two seasons, so his level is questionable..."

"Looking back now, Jardel's kick that injured Reina was truly criminal! If Reina were still here, Triguera would definitely have kept a substitution!"

"Is it Imbu or Vidic? They are the tallest players at Sporting Lisbon... but as a goalkeeper, height alone is not enough; quick reflexes are also essential. Imbu might be a better fit than Vidic."

"However, forwards are never as good at battling the ball as defenders, so I'm worried about Yin Bu dodging the ball."

"Or Pepe? He has the ferocity of a guard, and he's very agile. He might be the most suitable player for this team... Deng Kai?"
