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

"Why?"

"Hey! Hehehehe!! It went in? This ball went in!"

Benzema's shot was absolutely correct!

Goalkeeper Cech made a huge mistake.

"Huge, huge, super, super, such a basic mistake!"

Cech conceded a goal!

"Hehehe, this ball... ouch..."

It is 22:21 Eastern European Time.

Ukraine,

Kyiv Olympic Stadium.

Lu Xiao stood near the center circle, staring wide-eyed as he looked back at everything that was happening behind him.

Everything felt so familiar, yet so strange.

"Holy crap?"

Lu Xiao subconsciously blurted out a swear word in his native language.

This situation originally only appeared in prophetic dreams.

It actually happened in real life, almost exactly as it appeared!

"Damn it! Ganlin's mother!"

Lu Xiao also felt quite guilty.

He clearly saw the entire match between Real Madrid and Liverpool, which he predicted in a dream.

The image of Benzema intercepting Karius's throw is still vivid in my mind.

Lu Xiao originally planned to give Cech a few more reminders,

He had just arrived in front of Cech before the match, about to speak.

Looking at Cech, who was wearing a "tank helmet," giving him a simple and honest smile,

Lu Xiao almost swallowed the words that were about to come out.

Cech just achieved his 300th clean sheet this season.

A save percentage of over 75% this season

He has a higher save percentage in the FA Cup and Champions League, and is one of the key contributors to Arsenal's consistent progress to the Champions League final.

2017-2018 season,

Cech only missed four unimportant matches.

He played in every other match and was Wenger's most relied-upon goalkeeper.

His rich experience and awareness ensured Arsenal's goal remained untouched, and as one of the vice-captains, he was a pillar of strength in the locker room.

This was the best season of his career so far, before he started making mistakes.

So Lu Xiao thought about it for a moment, but didn't say anything.

Remind Cech to avoid making careless mistakes, and not to throw the ball to Benzema by hand.

Wouldn't that be looking down on your teammates before a major competition?

What will Cech think? Will he think that I don't trust him?

Lu Xiao only gave one piece of advice at the time:

"We need to watch out for Benzema; that guy always likes to harass the goalkeeper."

"Thank you, I'll be careful, Lu, let's do our best together."

Cech responded with a smile and gave Lu Xiao a high-five before putting on his gloves.

As a result... more than half an hour later.

Cech was stunned.

Lu Xiao was stunned.

Wenger was stunned.

All Arsenal supporters and neutral fans were stunned.

Only Real Madrid fans and some Spanish extremist fans are happy.

Benzema sprinted towards the stands to celebrate with Real Madrid fans, and the rest of the Real Madrid players followed suit.

The scene was quite spectacular, with a group of players dressed in white completely absorbed, almost frenzied.

The pressure of playing against Lu Xiao is immense.

So much so that a single goal is enough to excite and thrill them.

Lu Xiao had no choice but to walk back to his own penalty area and comfort Cech, who was sitting helplessly on the ground.

You don't even need to watch the live stream.

Lu Xiao knew it even with his bare hands.

On Chinese internet platforms, Zhan Jun and Zhang Lu are sure to create a memorable scene.

"Super, super, huge"

This meme still couldn't escape in this timeline.

"Damn it!"

Lu Xiao cursed under his breath, then immediately forced a sunny smile and went over to help Cech up.

"Peter, don't worry about it."

"Lu, guys, I'm sorry."

Seeing his Arsenal teammates comforting him, Cech felt even more guilty.

"Yes, don't worry about it, it's just a ball."

"Yeah, we have Lukaku. He used to be able to come back from a 4-goal deficit."

"That's right!! With Lu here, we have nothing to panic about!"

"That's enough for us, Peter. Just play your normal game."

A group of people offered words of comfort, but Lu Xiao hadn't even had a chance to speak.

Everyone else started to mention themselves.

"Hey, you guys need to work harder too! I can't even kick a bird's egg on my own!"

Lu Xiao laughed and cursed at his teammates.

Everyone burst into laughter at the same time.

The heavy self-blame and disappointment that had been weighing on Cech's heart were somewhat lessened, and Cech managed to force a smile.

"Yes, Lu, we'll have to rely on you from now on."

Cech looked around at his teammates, who seemed unconcerned about conceding the goal.

Champions League final,

Every goal conceded is under immense pressure.

Moreover, since it was a basic mistake, the blow to morale was even greater.

The team's morale remained completely unaffected.

Cech quickly understood.

If it were any other team, they might have collapsed... like Liverpool.

But we are Arsenal!

We have Lu Xiao!

Arsenal's biggest source of confidence comes from their miraculous comeback from being down 0-4!

As long as Lu Xiao is there

Arsenal always has hope!

Moreover, Lu Xiao's opponent at the time was also Real Madrid.

Isn't this a kind of fateful showdown?

……

After the celebration, Ronaldo and Benzema walked back to their half of the field, arms around each other and chatting.

Cristiano Ronaldo came here with an unwavering belief in victory.

You must overcome your inner demons!

Otherwise, my life is truly over.

When Atletico Madrid climbed over Real Madrid to win six titles, Cristiano Ronaldo almost lost his composure.

Fortunately, Atletico Madrid will face personnel changes and widespread injuries next season.

This meant that even Lu Xiao winning the La Liga Golden Boot couldn't help Atletico Madrid win the title.

Cristiano Ronaldo then recovered and, incidentally, won the Ballon d'Or for his outstanding performance in the 2017 Champions League final.

Cristiano Ronaldo has regained his confidence.

He believes he can crush Messi and is about to surpass Lu Xiao to reclaim the world number one spot.

"That shot should be enough to break him, right?"

As a result, Ronaldo looked towards the other half of the field in the distance.

Arsenal players are already lined up and standing in formation.

Lu Xiao stood in the center circle, stepping on the soccer ball, ready to kick off.

The two exchanged a glance across the distance.

Ronaldo didn't see fear in his opponent; instead, he saw a hint of excitement.

It's the excitement and ferocity of a wild beast seeing its prey!

"This guy!"

One goal isn't enough to beat you, is it?

"Then let's go in one more!"

"What?"

Benzema looked at Ronaldo with curiosity.

Cristiano Ronaldo then turned to his Real Madrid teammates and shouted loudly:

"Let's score one more and win this damn game!!"

"champion!!"

"champion!!"

Real Madrid's morale is high after taking a 1-0 lead!

……

The atmosphere in the VIP room was somewhat somber.

Chloe knew Lu Xiao would definitely tie the game, but seeing the expressions on Lu Xiao's parents' faces, she couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Uncle and Aunt, don't worry, Lu is the strongest person I've ever met, he'll be fine."

Chloe's Mandarin has been honed to a very good level by Lu Xiao.

In addition, her sweet and gentle voice quickly brought a smile to Zhao Ping's face.

"Thank you, um, it'll definitely be fine!"

……

Lu Xiao really didn't care.

In his view, conceding a goal in the 36th minute of the first half of a 90-minute match is nothing serious.

The match then resumed.

Lu Xiao continues to move between several positions, including center-back, defensive midfielder, attacking midfielder, and center forward.

Fill a bottle of [regular Red Bull] beforehand.

There's absolutely no need to worry about Lu Xiao's physical fitness!

He patrolled his territory like an inexhaustible machine!

"Kroos, bring the ball up and pass it to Modric!!"

"Wow, that ball!! Lu Xiao's brilliant pressing forced Modric to pass it back."

"Real Madrid continues their attack, pass to the right, Isco!!"

"Great shot!! Lu Xiao, in coordination with Kolasinac's double-team, successfully disrupted the play!!"

"Real Madrid tries to get the ball into the penalty area! Ronaldo!!"

"Koscielny clears the ball from the air, second ball!! Lu Xiao!"

"Beautiful!! The scorpion kick went straight to Sanchez!"

"Arsenal's counter-attack!!"

"Sanchez! A one-on-one shot inside the penalty area, just a little short!! What a pity!"

Zhan Jun was filled with regret.

Sanchez also knelt on the ground with his head in his hands.

Slow motion display,

With his back to the direction of attack, Lu Xiao used a godlike scorpion tail flick to send a penetrating through ball to the left.

Sanchez dribbles the ball and starts his run, directly beating the offside trap to create a one-on-one opportunity!

Unfortunately, facing Real Madrid goalkeeper Navas,

Sanchez aimed for the perfect corner, but his right instep shot grazed the post and went wide.

Wasting a golden opportunity.

However, this goal also served as a wake-up call for Real Madrid.

Manager Zidane frowned as he walked to the long side.

He whistled to attract the attention of the Real Madrid players, then made a downward gesture.

This signaled to Real Madrid players to switch from attack to counter-attack.

Counter-attacking is Real Madrid's secret weapon for reaching the final!

"Let's see how good your offense is."

Zidane crossed his arms and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

With the first half nearing its end,

Just hold on for another 45 minutes.

Real Madrid is the only Champions League champion to successfully defend their title since the Champions League format change!

The team's 11th championship is within reach!
