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

Only one team in history has ever come back from a 0-3 deficit to win a game.

Coincidentally, the person in question had also played football at this stadium.

At the San Siro stadium, many familiar faces were seated in the VIP box area, which was filled with socialites.

Commentator Zhan Jun then launched into his most proficient segment.

When the camera is pointed at the stands

Zhan Jun knows them all like the back of his hand.

"Oh? We see Paolo Maldini, the Milan legend. Milan coach Allegri, Seedorf, and Van Basten are also here."

On the other side is Inter Milan legend Zanetti.

Even the heartthrob David Beckham is here!

Beckham had a brief loan spell at AC Milan, which greatly helped the club.

Also present are King Felipe VI, the King of Spain, and former Milan president Silvio Berlusconi.

Atletico Madrid's chairman, Gil, is chatting and laughing with several political figures and celebrities.

The camera also panned across a seemingly unremarkable Asian couple.

Most commentators would have skipped that part long ago.

I didn't expect Zhan Jun to be able to recognize him.

"Wait, Lu Xiao's parents are here too..."

Zhan Jun couldn't help but smile wryly again.

This is clearly the second time the child has led the team to the Champions League final, and the first time he has started in the final.

Unfortunately, they encountered an incomplete team lineup and their opponents were at their peak.

The small difference in strength between the two sides was magnified on the final stage!

The 3-0 scoreline is indeed a bit jarring.

Many young Atlético Madrid fans were already crying on camera.

Many fans also made the sign of the cross on their chests.

Lu Xiao has staged numerous comebacks against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, but has never come down by three goals in a final!

Can he save the team this time?

That's difficult, isn't it?

After all, in the "Istanbul Miracle" of that year, Liverpool's entire squad was on point, and Milan's complacency and champagne-fueled halftime led to their comeback victory.

Things are completely different now.

Having learned from Milan's experience, Real Madrid is unwilling to be a mere backdrop.

It's very difficult for any team to follow in their footsteps now.

Therefore, for 20 years after 2005, "Istanbul Night" remained one of the most talked-about topics among fans during the final.

Meanwhile, "opening champagne at halftime" has become a popular meme that has endured for a long time.

Furthermore, in the subsequent finals, no team was ever overturned after leading by more than two goals!

Zhan Jun explained the record in a slightly somber tone.

"Real's 3-0 lead at halftime today means they are very close to winning the Champions League trophy."

"It's a real shame for Atletico Madrid, but there's not much they can do about it."

It's really frustrating.

Judging from the expressions on Torres' and Griezmann's faces, they have almost resigned themselves to their fate.

The probability of winning approaches zero!

Whether Torres and Griezmann win the championship or not is not important; their main concern is Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao led his team to the finals last year, but was suspended due to accumulated yellow cards.

This has always been his regret.

Lu Xiao himself has never explained it, but his teammates who spend a lot of time with him can see that Lu Xiao cares a lot about this matter.

Unable to help Lu Xiao win the championship

The Atletico Madrid teammates really felt guilty.

"Ugh! What's with those expressions on your faces?!"

Seeing the looks in Torres and Griezmann's eyes, Lu Xiao almost wanted to kick them in the back.

What's going on? The game isn't over yet, is this really necessary?

"Stay strong! We won't give up until the final whistle blows, remember?"

"Of course!! Bro, I'll go with you!"

Count me in!

"And me!"

Seeing that Lu Xiao was still full of fighting spirit, the Atletico Madrid players finally regained some of their energy, and came over to give each other high-fives to encourage their teammates, and also to encourage themselves.

They still remember Lu Xiao's opening remarks.

"Remember, no matter what happens, no matter how disadvantageous the situation is, it is not the end of the world."

"I'm here to vouch for you all!"

"Believe me, Atletico Madrid is invincible!"

That's right, trust Lu Xiao!

……

"You guys!! Get serious!!"

Cristiano Ronaldo usually likes to joke around with his teammates.

But on the field, he's a pressure monster.

Cristiano Ronaldo is easily angered by the slightest disturbance and has a lot of tantrums.

"Focus! Focus!"

The game wasn't over yet, and Ronaldo remained on edge.

Gareth Bell glanced at him, muttering to himself:

Is it necessary?

Fortunately, his Tottenham teammate Modric comforted him.

Don't take it to heart, just be serious, that's the right thing to do.

"Could they really have been turned around?"

"Theoretically, no, but we need to maximize our advantage as much as possible."

Modric showed no sign of smugness.

Anyone who has faced Lu Xiao knows that you should never underestimate this guy!

Especially in the final stages of the game!

You can't predict what he might do.

All Modric can do is help his teammates score goals and keep scoring!

Until the advantage is significant enough!

In the first half, Real Madrid went into the locker room with a 3-0 lead.

Zidane excitedly encouraged everyone.

"Keep up the good work and try to take this damn championship!"

What does it matter if we lose the league and the Copa del Rey if we win the Champions League this season?

This year belongs to Madrid!

Seeing Barcelona fail to win any major trophies, Real Madrid can accept this outcome, and everything is developing in the most favorable direction.

……

Ronaldo had no idea what was happening in the Atlético Madrid locker room, but he returned to the field just as the second half whistle blew.

Atletico Madrid launched a sharp attack!

Lu Xiao's sudden diagonal pass from the right was like an intercontinental guided missile, landing precisely in the penalty area!

Torres runs diagonally, like a lion looking back at the moon!

"Torres!!!"

hiss--

Cristiano Ronaldo was almost scared out of his wits!

Goalkeeper Navas made a diving save but failed to touch the ball!

The next second—

clang--

"It hit the crossbeam and bounced out!!!"

"Real Madrid were really lucky to escape unscathed!"

"What a pity, what a real pity!"

He Wei shook his head repeatedly, feeling sorry for Atletico Madrid.

Clearly, Atletico Madrid had a well-thought-out tactical plan.

Lu Xiao deliberately stayed back to draw attention, and then suddenly made a long pass that caught Real Madrid off guard.

He and Torres have excellent chemistry.

Torres also trusted Lu Xiao's long passing ability.

Perfect teamwork, perfect offense, near-perfect performance.

Unfortunately, my luck was a little off!

Torres' header was just centimeters away from the goal!

"This is Atletico Madrid's strongest response since falling behind by three goals! If they can score, they might still have a chance to turn the game around!"

"You can tell they haven't given up! They're still finding their scoring rhythm! They're still burning brightly in adversity!"

The close-up shot cuts to the stands.

Even David Beckham couldn't help but stand up and applaud Lu Xiao.

Pretty!

beautiful!

After he retired, very few people created opportunities with this retro-style long, curved pass.

But at that moment, Beckham seemed to see his own reflection!

I heard that his free kicks are more like his own. There are even videos on YouTube that compare Lu Xiao's and his own free kicks frame by frame.

Almost a 1:1 replica!

"I really want to see him take a free kick."

"He has a much brighter future than you."

"Then it's too late for you to regret it. You'll be by my side for the rest of your life."

"I don't regret it."

Even in her forties, Veronica still retained her charm and embraced her husband, nestling against him.

……

The game continues.

Atletico Madrid's counter-attack at the start of the second half served as a wake-up call for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid held firm for a while before launching an even more intense attack!

The battle between the two sides became extremely fierce for a time!

"Lu Xiao passes to the front!! Griezmann!! Great ball!! Cross to the middle—"

"Lu Xiao!!!!"

"That ball went just a little wide!! What a pity! Real Madrid's defense was also very solid."

Casemiro's timely sliding tackle blocked Lu Xiao's shot, momentarily distracting him.

This resulted in the "Tiger Shot" being delivered with full power, but the angle was slightly off, grazing the post and flying out, giving Real Madrid a real scare.

"Good defense."

Lu Xiao reached out and helped Casemiro up.

Casemiro was stunned. Even at a time like this, he was still so composed?

If it were Ronaldo, he would have already gone berserk.

Either this Asian man admits defeat, or he is extremely confident that he can turn the tables!

Casemiro prefers to guess the latter.

"Thank you, you're very strong."

Casemiro showed Lu Xiao genuine respect.

Despite leading 3-0, the pressure from Lu Xiao has kept this defensive midfielder on his toes.

This was definitely the most tiring match of Casemiro's career!

Atletico Madrid's continuous counter-attacks showed signs of turning the tide.

Real Madrid, not to be outdone, quickly organized an attack and pushed forward into the attacking third.

Sixty minutes had passed in the game, and Modric slowed down the pace slightly, looking up to look for opportunities.

Atletico Madrid's defense is very tight, theoretically leaving no gaps.

But their center-backs and defensive midfielders are too young!

You can try to fool them.

Modric made a decision within a second, dribbled to the left, and passed the ball to Ronaldo.

22-year-old defensive midfielder Mattias indeed stretched out his leg to block.

Modric skillfully dribbled past his opponent, drawing attention before delivering a through ball!

A gap in the rib area!!

"Danger!!"

Stefan, who had made two consecutive mistakes, was already on edge, and now his mind went completely blank. He quickly went to fill in for him.

However, Gareth Bale reacted faster and poked the ball away first...

"It's over."

Lu Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, a sharp whistle rang out!

beep—

Gareth Bale fell in the penalty area!

At the same time, referee Clattenburg pulled out a yellow card from his back pocket!

Stefan has already received a yellow card for defending Bale!

This foul, involving pulling and tripping, will result in a severe penalty for Atletico Madrid!

Atletico Madrid fans wailed in despair.

Zhan Jun was dumbfounded.

"This goal!! The referee points to the penalty spot and shows a second yellow card! Center-back Stefan receives his second yellow and is sent off!"

The sky is falling.

"It's safe!"

Cristiano Ronaldo finally couldn't suppress his smile and took the ball to the penalty spot.

If this ball goes in, Ronaldo will complete a hat-trick in the Champions League final with his second goal!

"This time, I've finally surpassed you, haven't I, Lu!"
