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

Real Madrid's counter-attacking style is just like Barcelona's possession-based football of yesteryear.

This is also a headache for head coaches of major clubs around the world.

Let's not commit troops to the attack.

It will be very difficult to break through Real Madrid's blockade.

The barrier formed by Modric, Kroos, and Casemiro, the "ceremony midfield trio," was difficult to overcome.

In addition, there is a world-class defense composed of Varane, Ramos, Carvajal, and Marcelo.

And Ronaldo and Benzema actively tracked back to defend.

Real Madrid's defense tucked up, like a Tiger tank.

Ordinary artillery fire has difficulty penetrating their armor.

Anyone who dares to stand still and exchange fire with a Tiger tank

Real Madrid's artillery fire will easily penetrate the enemy's armor.

Modric and Kroos orchestrating the play,

The attack from the left by Ronaldo and Isco, supported by Benzema in the middle.

Real Madrid can attack the opponent's goal in just a few seconds.

Not to mention Gareth Bale is on the bench.

The billionaire hasn't even made an appearance yet.

Seeing him with his hair in a bun, warming up on the sidelines, Arsenal fans couldn't help but feel a pang of anxiety.

Bale is also a player with a big heart in the Champions League, and has scored many crucial goals.

Throughout the first half, Arsenal used this hesitant and cautious approach to attack to wear down Real Madrid and waste the remaining time.

45 minutes have passed.

Two more minutes of stoppage time were added.

At the sound of the whistle,

The Arsenal players were still somewhat unsatisfied.

Tens of thousands of people cheered at the Kyiv Olympic Stadium, with Real Madrid fans in white waving flags and shouting in the stands amidst a deafening cacophony of drums and gongs.

A single-goal advantage does not guarantee a championship.

Moreover, it wasn't Real Madrid's beautiful attack that relied on Cech's mistakes.

But Real Madrid fans were still very excited.

"Champion! Champion! The champion is right before our eyes!"

"Hala Madrid!!!"

Fans' own adapted championship songs and Real Madrid's team anthem played in turn.

Arsenal fans' half of the box was rather quiet.

Sky Sports also fielded a top-notch commentary team for the Champions League final.

The main commentator is Martin Taylor.

The guests next to him were Arsenal legend Thierry Henry, the Gunners' sharpest spearhead.

The other one is Guti, a Real Madrid legend and a midfielder from the first Galácticos era.

Guti's outspokenness is never merciful; seeing Arsenal's performance today, he grinned and said:

"Even if Cech hadn't made a mistake, Arsenal still wouldn't have been able to do anything against Real Madrid."

Just look at their performance in the second half of the first half to know.

Real Madrid were in fantastic form today, not just one person, but the whole team.

This is a true galactic battleship, where everyone is the strongest in the world.

I admit that Lukas of Arsenal is indeed very good; he has the ability to change the course of a game on his own.

But the rest of Arsenal...

And then there's Wenger. If he were truly an excellent coach, he wouldn't have gone so many years without a title.

No offense intended, sorry Thierry.

Henry listened from the side, his expression somewhat helpless.

He shook his head:

"Wenger is an excellent coach, and anyone who has worked with him can understand that."

I admit that Arsenal's overall squad and their form today do have problems.

It seems we can only hope that Lu can perform well.

Furthermore, Zidane is indeed a genius.

Henry also made sure to praise his former national team teammate and fellow Frenchman, Zidane, at the end.

……

At halftime, neither side made any personnel changes.

Wenger didn't make any major tactical adjustments either.

Arsenal might have performed better in the first half if that mistake had been excluded.

Cech also wanted to issue a public apology in the locker room.

But Wenger stopped him.

"It's okay, Peter. Just focus on defending for the next 45 minutes, and leave the rest to your teammates."

"I definitely will."

Cech clenched his fist.

At halftime, both teams walked out of the players' tunnel.

They are all intertwined.

Lu Xiao was coincidentally standing next to Cristiano Ronaldo.

Neither of them paid any attention to the other, treating each other as if they were invisible.

Ronaldo thought Lu Xiao would say some trash talk to vent his emotions, but he didn't expect the kid to be so calm.

Fine, I'll wait until the game is over before I see you break down!

Cristiano Ronaldo's nose is practically pointing to the sky.

When the whistle blows for the second half,

Both Ronaldo and Zidane believed that the pace of the game would be the same as in the second half of the first half.

Arsenal, unable to break through, began to play too aggressively.

This gave Real Madrid a chance to counterattack.

As a result, both Ronaldo and Zidane were stunned!

Lu Xiao's original range of activity was already very large, completely traversing the entire central axis.

As a result, Lu Xiao is now appearing in almost every corner of the stadium!

"Arsenal's attack, Sanchez! Cuts inside to the edge of the box... turns and passes to Kolasinac..."

"Hey? Lu Xiao!! Lu Xiao's crossover is on, perfect opportunity!!"

"Cross the ball!! Giroud!!!"

"Beautiful!! Giroud's header was very dangerous, but unfortunately Navas reacted quickly and tipped it over the bar!"

"Corner kick! Arsenal's first corner kick of the second half!"

Just as Lu Xiao crossed the ball, Giroud headed it towards the goal.

Zidane, who is usually calm and collected, almost suffered a cardiac arrest.

Even during the 2006 World Cup final, when taking penalty kicks, Zidane was never this nervous.

"That kid Lu? Forget it, let's see how he goes."

Generally speaking, no matter where Lu Xiao is on the central axis, he can easily get opportunities to shoot from a distance or make runs into the penalty area.

After all, there are more opportunities to shoot from a straight angle.

Shooting from tight angles on the flanks is usually difficult; the only options are passing or cutting inside.

So even if Lu Xiao switches to the wing...

It only happens occasionally.

Unexpectedly, after the start of the second half, Lu Xiao appeared like a ghost, occasionally showing up on both flanks!

In the midfield, they suddenly surged forward from the wing.

It always gives Real Madrid a real scare.

Carvajal and Marcelo, the two full-backs, will always push forward to participate in the counter-attack.

There is a huge vulnerability behind them.

Lu Xiao is the midfield "dealer".

They are also killers when the ball is crossed from the wing!

Sanchez and Mkhitaryan would occasionally move closer to the center to help organize the passing and distribution.

The original sole core of the organization was shared by Sanchez, Mkhitaryan, and even Xhaka!

Arsenal's attack suddenly became unpredictable!

Like a fog, it surrounded the area in front of Real Madrid's penalty area!

Real Madrid is caught in a dilemma – neither advancing nor retreating!

This suddenly became extremely difficult!

Zidane then realized what was happening and turned to look at Wenger on the other side.

"Is this your trump card, Arsène!"

Before Zidane could react,

Suddenly, a huge gasp and cheer erupted from the stands!

The gasps came from the Real Madrid stands behind me!

The cheers came from the Arsenal stands across the street!

"Oops!"

As Zidane turned around, he saw the ball being passed to the left wing.

Sanchez cut inside and backheeled the ball, drawing the attention of Carvajal and Ramos.

Lu Xiao suddenly brushed past him from behind.

He receives the ball on the left and then makes a run into the penalty area!

Carvajal turned around to intercept.

Lu Xiao poked the ball with his left toe, changing its direction, and then tapped it with the instep of his right foot.

They escaped instantly!

Lu Xiao has mastered the art of making "fried meatballs" with ease!

Ramos panicked and chased back, while Kroos, Modric, and Varane also covered for Real Madrid players.

Giroud charged forward and drew Varane away, while Sanchez's forward run was marked by Kroos.

Xhaka and Ramsey's overlapping runs were being monitored by Isco, Casemiro, and others.

Real Madrid remained calm despite the panic, and still managed to implement a tight defensive plan.

It looked like Lu Xiao's shot was about to be saved by Ramos's pressing.

In an instant, Lu Xiao flicked the ball with his right heel and turned.

This tricked Ramos into quickly following up, creating an opening.

The next second!!

"OHHHHHH——"

"Lu Xiao!!!"

Martin Taylor and Zhan Jun exclaimed in surprise almost simultaneously!

As Lu Xiao turned around, he suddenly twisted 180 degrees to the right and used a rabona kick with his left foot to unleash a sudden shot from a tight angle!

The football spun with an uncanny arc and went into the net!

"Goooooooooal——"

"Lu Xiao!!! That's a steal!!"

"In the 54th minute of the second half, Lu Xiao scored a brilliant goal in the penalty area, leveling the score!!"

"Any time Lu Xiao plays in the Champions League final, there will definitely be a goal!!"

"Arsenal 1-1, tied with Real Madrid!!"

"Both sides are back to square one!"
