Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

"Holy crap!! Holy crap?!?!"

"Goal!! That was an amazing shot!"

"This is okay?"

"Lu Xiao is simply a god!"

On television, after scoring, Lu Xiao ran confidently towards the south stand, where the home fans were most loyal.

He raised his arm, signaling for the home fans to cheer even louder.

The on-site photographers captured the most classic moment.

Sixteen-year-old Lu Xiao, facing the stands, stood on the field in a black jersey, looking just like a conductor in charge of everything.

Especially when shot from a low angle, Lu Xiao's back view appears incredibly majestic!

#39 - Lu Shaw

This number and this name have been firmly etched in the memories of fans all over the world!

"Lu!! I fucking love you to death!"

"You are God! You are God, do you know that?"

"OMG!! OMG!! Lu!"

Leverkusen fans have degenerated into savages, only knowing how to howl meaningless syllables around Lu Xiao.

No words could express the excitement in their hearts.

At this moment, Lu Xiao is the god of the entire Bayer Leverkusen team!

Facing Real Madrid, he twice broke through the defense alone, twice dribbled past Casillas, and twice scored against Real Madrid.

What else could this be but a football god?

Real Madrid, the Galacticos, are about to be sunk by a 16-year-old Asian boy who's just started his professional career and hasn't even played a single season?!

The football world is in an uproar.

Reporters in the media section were already frantically typing on their laptops, eager to publish this sensational news that would shake the world of football!

However, the game is not over yet.

The situation could still change in the last 10 minutes.

Judging from the morale of both sides, the entire Leverkusen team is highly motivated.

Real Madrid's morale was visibly low.

In close-up shots, stars like Coentrao, Varane, and Benzema all looked somewhat lost.

Only Ronaldo was still loudly calling out to his teammates, trying to encourage them.

It's clear that Ronaldo really wants to win this game.

Gareth Bale, Modric, and Di Maria are all big-game players, and they are all trying to change the situation.

Ancelotti made a substitution.

In a desperate move, they substituted left-back Coentrao with the more attacking Marcelo.

Khedira was replaced by 21-year-old Brazilian midfielder Casemiro.

Casemiro joined Real Madrid on loan from São Paulo, Brazil last season, and played for Real Madrid B in the Segunda División. His performance was outstanding enough that he was promoted to the first team.

In the 2013-2014 season, Real Madrid activated their buyout option, officially making him a Real Madrid first-team player.

However, with a star like Xabi Alonso around, Casemiro didn't get many opportunities, only managing some playing time in cup matches and Champions League group stages.

Casemiro might only have a chance to compete for a starting position next season after Alonso transfers to Bayern.

Ancelotti brought him on as a last resort, a desperate measure.

Hopefully, the abundant physical energy of young people can bring about some changes.

The last substitution spot will be reserved for now.

Bayer Leverkusen substituted the physically exhausted Julian Brandt with Emre Can to further strengthen their defense.

Two more full-backs who were carrying yellow cards were replaced.

The current formation is essentially a defensive wall with four defensive midfielders and four defenders. In the attacking third, only Lu Xiao and Son Heung-min are responsible for counter-attacks, and they need to drop back to defend in front of the penalty area more often.

"Keep going! If we can hold on for the last 10 minutes, we'll be in the finals!"

"The final! The final!"

The Bayer Leverkusen players were united in their determination, and they celebrated each other with high-fives after each successful defensive play to boost morale.

For a time, Real Madrid's star players were surprisingly unable to do much against Bayer Leverkusen.

"Could it be?"

German television commentator Sauer was dumbfounded.

He never dreamed that Leverkusen would have a chance to eliminate Real Madrid.

"The away goals rule is truly the greatest invention in the history of the Champions League!"

In the first leg at the Bernabéu, Lu Xiao's all-out goal became a foreshadowing!

The score was 4-2, with 2 away goals.

With the aggregate score tied at 4-4, Bayer Leverkusen will advance to the Champions League final based on this advantage!

After 12 years, does this mean we're coming back?

Twelve years ago, in the same city of Bayer Leverkusen, the final became a backdrop for Real Madrid's victory.

Zidane's spectacular goal secured Real Madrid's ninth Champions League title, while also leaving Bayer Leverkusen as a "triple runner-up."

The reason why German media have mentioned this matter so many times is...

Aside from the jokes, Bayer Leverkusen's three runner-up finishes are truly a pity.

Twelve years later, Bayer Leverkusen has a chance to avenge that final and get revenge on Real Madrid!

Oliver Kahn remained relatively calm.

"Anything can happen until the very last moment, so let's not open the champagne yet."

"That's true, come on Leverkusen!"

What do you mean by neutral or not neutral?

Commentator Scholl doesn't care about that. He's a Bundesliga commentator, supporting Bundesliga teams, and cheering for Leverkusen is perfectly normal.

On the field, Real Madrid's attack remained oppressive.

Every shot, every lob into the penalty area, every corner kick and set piece could make Leverkusen fans' hearts stop.

Many patients with heart problems almost couldn't watch this kind of game.

He quickly swallowed a nitroglycerin pill.

As time ticked by, Real Madrid grew increasingly anxious.

Even if they only need one goal, a 5-4 victory would be enough to eliminate Bayer Leverkusen.

But Ronaldo's shot that went high and wide still reflected his inner anxiety.

Cristiano Ronaldo spat out a curse.

He stood with his hands on his hips, frowning and complaining.

Bayer Leverkusen paid a heavy price to counter Real Madrid's strong attacks.

In the short half hour of the second half,

A total of nine players in Bayer Leverkusen's midfield and defense have received cards!

England referee Howard Webb becomes a card master.

All four defenders received yellow cards, including the two substitute full-backs.

Defensive midfielders Lars Bender and Rolfes also received yellow cards.

Even Lu Xiao, who received a yellow card for a tackle, was already severely fatigued, but still gave it his all to tackle Modric outside the penalty area.

Despite it not being a successful defense, the BayArena still gave Lu Xiao a warm round of applause.

Modric got up from the ground, looking frustrated, but he also admired Lu Xiao's fighting spirit.

He generously embraced Lu Xiao to encourage the young player.

After the brief incident, Cristiano Ronaldo's thrilling free-kick was saved by goalkeeper Bernd Leno.

"Leno!! A world-class save! He kept Ronaldo's shot out of the net!"

"Time has entered stoppage time, and Real Madrid doesn't have much time left!"

Cristiano Ronaldo held his head in disappointment and looked up at the sky.

A rare moment of wavering appeared in his eyes.

"Are we really going to lose to a team like this? Damn it!"

But what could he do?

The densely packed penalty area made it impossible for Real Madrid to find a way in; their defensive formation was too solid.

Lu Xiao was almost cramping up from running.

With only one minute left in the game,

Leverkusen had no one to substitute, so he could only do his best to hold on.

With the final seconds approaching, Real Madrid is still putting on a desperate last-ditch effort!

"Modric, pass to Ronaldo, Ronaldo has no choice, then pass to Modric, Bale... Bale is also tied up, pass to Di Maria..."

"Beautiful!! Lu Xiao is still giving it his all, he tackled Di Maria!"

"But Real Madrid still has possession. Casemiro gets the ball and dribbles forward... Is no one marking him? Casemiro!!"

Everyone at Leverkusen was exhausted.

Di Maria, Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Modric, Gareth Bale, Marcelo, Carvajal...

With so many star players attacking relentlessly, everyone seems to have overlooked Casemiro, who was promoted from Real Madrid's reserve team!

"Oops!!"

Lu Xiao knew this person!

I vaguely remember him in my dream!

He, along with Modric and Toni Kroos, were known as the "Ceremony Three Midfielders"!

"Watch out!"

But it was too late for Lu Xiao to remember this!

Casemiro took advantage of his Brazilian heritage, dribbling past Emre Can and Jens Hegeler in quick succession!

The moment he broke into the penalty area, defender Toprak panicked!

Actually, he could have calmed down and blocked the way, leaving Casemiro with few options.

But he chose the stupidest defensive option, stretching out his leg to try and steal the ball!

beep—

A piercing whistle rang out!
