After Bayern kicked off, they launched an unusual attack. Hofmann received the ball in midfield and, facing three Dortmund players, forced his way through before being fouled.

The free kick was from a long distance, and Bayern opted to pass the ball into the penalty area, where it was cleared by a Dortmund defender.

Subsequently, the game returned to Dortmund's control.

But this time, Bayern's defense faltered.

In the 112th minute, Dortmund played a series of passes down the left flank, and Keo suddenly cut inside and shot, but the ball grazed the post and went wide!

In the 114th minute, Lin Fan played a one-two with Webber on the edge of the penalty area, broke into the penalty area and took a shot from a tight angle, which was blocked by the Bayern goalkeeper's leg!

"Bayern's defense is starting to crumble!" Zhang Xuan shouted. "Their movement speed has clearly slowed down, and gaps have appeared in their defensive formation! Dortmund must seize this opportunity!"

On the sidelines, Coach Hermann anxiously shouted, urging the players to maintain their formation. However, with their energy depleted, tactical discipline was difficult to maintain.

In the 116th minute, a Bayern defender made a passing error under no pressure, directly giving the ball to a Dortmund striker.

The Dortmund midfielder, who came on as a substitute, received the ball and took a long-range shot!

The ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball, and the Bayern goalkeeper had already given up on making a save.

"Bang!"

The ball hit the crossbar and bounced out!

"The crossbar again! Dortmund have hit the woodwork three times today!" Zhang Xuan's voice was filled with regret. "Luck doesn't seem to be on their side!"

Bayern players knelt on the ground, thanking the goalposts for saving them.

But the crisis is not over yet.

The ball bounced back into play, and Lin Fan won the second ball, receiving it on the right side of the penalty area.

Facing a double-team from two defenders, he feinted and then suddenly crossed the ball!

The ball flew towards the far post, and Webber leaped high to head the ball into the goal!

The Bayern goalkeeper was already on the ground, powerless to do anything.

The ball grazed the post and went out of bounds!

"Ah!" Zhang Xuan clutched his head. "Weber's header went just wide! Dortmund completely dominated Bayern in the second half of extra time, but couldn't break through!"

Time passed by, second by second.

In the 118th minute, Bayern suffered another cramp, and the player collapsed on the grass.

However, Bayern had already used all their substitutions, and the player could only continue the game with a limp after receiving brief treatment.

"Bayern is struggling to hold on," Zhang Xuan said with respect.

"Playing with one less player, exhausted, and completely suppressed, they didn't give up. That's the spirit of football, that's the essence of Bayern Munich."

On the sidelines, Coach Maister anxiously watched the time.

With only two minutes left in extra time, if the score remains tied, a penalty shootout will take place.

Penalty shootouts are a gamble, a psychological battle, and the part young players fear most.

He looked at Lin Fan, the Chinese boy who was still running and fighting.

His jersey was covered in grass and dirt, his hair was soaked with sweat, but his eyes remained bright.

"Lin, do something," Maister prayed in his heart. "You are our miracle creator, create another miracle."

In the 119th minute, extra time entered its final minute.

Dortmund played a defensive game, passing the ball around in their own half to run down the clock. If they fail to win in extra time, they will face a penalty shootout.

Lin Fan hovered near the center circle, his breathing heavy, his legs feeling like lead. Throughout the race, he had covered over thirteen kilometers, a distance unprecedented in his career.

Suddenly, a voice echoed in his mind:

[Total walking steps: 3000 steps]

[Five consecutive passersby have activated the trial card]

[Timeframe: 10 minutes]

[Note: During your next possession, you will temporarily gain superhuman dribbling ability, allowing you to break through five defenders in succession.]

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment.

Because of the intense and close match, he had almost forgotten about the system.

So during this period, he did not deliberately take walks to accumulate steps.

Unexpectedly, just as the competition was about to end, the number of steps accumulated to 3000 once again.

This was indeed a pleasant surprise.

Moreover, this reward for defeating five people in a row is being offered for the first time.

This reward is absolutely amazing!

To dribble past five players in a row—that's a feat only a football legend could accomplish.

Now I'm actually going to experience it myself.

Thinking of this, Lin Fan couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Lin Fan raised his head and looked at Bayern's goal.

One possession opportunity.

He passed five people in a row.

His heart suddenly raced, not from exhaustion, but from an indescribable feeling—an opportunity had arrived.

"Give me the ball," Lin Fan shouted to his teammates in the backcourt.

Upon hearing the shout, Schneider passed the ball to Lin Fan in the center circle without hesitation.

Lin Fan received the ball, turned around, and faced Bayern's half of the field.

Ahead of him was Bayern's entire defensive line—five defenders layered together, from the defensive midfielder to the backline, forming an impregnable Great Wall.

Hoffman chased back from the attacking third, attempting to disrupt Lin Fan from behind.

At Allianz Arena, everyone watched this scene unfold.

Borussia Dortmund fans held their breath.

Bayern fans booed, trying to distract Lin Fan.

In the VIP box, Klopp and Kent leaned forward simultaneously.

"Lin Fan has the ball in midfield," Zhang Xuan said, his voice tinged with doubt.

"What is he going to do? Time is running out; we should carefully plan one last attack..."

Then, they witnessed an incredible scene.

Lin Fan started it.

In his first move, facing pressure from Bayern's defensive midfielder, he pulled the ball to the left with his right foot, swaying his body as he did so. Just as the opponent was about to intercept, he suddenly flicked the ball to the right with his heel, passing the ball to the defender!

The first defender got beaten!

"Beautiful dribble!" Zhang Xuan shouted, "But there are still several defenders ahead!"

Lin Fan did not slow down and continued to dribble forward.

Bayern's defense quickly tightened, with two midfielders attacking from both sides.

Lin Fan observed their movements—the player on the left was faster, while the player on the right had more room to maneuver.

He feigned a move to the right, prompting the player on the left to accelerate and pounce. Then, he suddenly used the outside of his left foot to flick the ball to the left, changing direction!

accelerate!

The second defender was left behind!

A third defender has moved in to cover and block the shot from the front.

Lin Fan slowed down, pedaled continuously with his right foot, and swayed his body from side to side.

Bayern's defensive players shifted their weight accordingly.

It's now!

Lin Fan suddenly poked the ball to the right front and accelerated past the defender's left side!

People pass, ball passes!

The third defender got beaten!

"He's beaten three people in a row!" Zhang Xuan's voice grew excited. "Lin Fan is still going forward!"

Exclamations erupted at Allianz Stadium.

Bayern's defense was thrown into disarray as two center-backs rushed forward to try and stop Lin Fan by double-teaming him.

This is Bayern's last line of defense, with only the goalkeeper behind them.

Lin Fan did not choose to pass the ball—Kaio on the left had already run into open space, but he only had the goal in his eyes.

Faced with being double-teamed by two center-backs, Lin Fan made a move that no one expected.

He gently flicked the ball up with his right foot, and it flew over the head of the first center-back!

At the same time, Lin Fan forced his way through the gap between the two defenders!

"A lobbed pass over the defender!" Zhang Xuan's voice was almost hoarse. "The fourth defender has been beaten!"

The ball landed, and Lin Fan had already broken through the last line of defense!

Only Bayern Munich goalkeeper Hans remained in front of him!

Fifth defensive player!

Hans rushed out of his goal, spreading his arms to try and block the shooting angle.

Lin Fan was frighteningly calm.

He observed the goalkeeper's movements—he rushed out quickly, but his center of gravity had already lowered, blocking ground balls.

Lin Fan made a move to shoot into the bottom right corner, causing Hans to dive to his right to make a save.

But at that moment, Lin Fan suddenly changed direction and flicked the ball away from Hans.

An empty door!

"He's beaten the goalkeeper! He's beaten five players in a row!" Zhang Xuan shouted frantically, "Open goal! Open goal!"

Allianz Arena was deathly silent.

All Bayern Munich fans covered their mouths, widened their eyes, and stared in disbelief.

Borussia Dortmund fans held their breath, clenched their fists, and waited for the final blow.

Facing an open goal, Lin Fan adjusted his footwork and shot with his right foot.

The ball slowly rolled towards the goal and crossed the goal line.
