"Ladies and gentlen, football fans!"
"To all the fans watching in front of their televisions, and all the fans here in the stadium!"
"You are watching the 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League Final!"
"We are into the final minute of extra ti, and there are only a few dozen seconds left in the match. For Liverpool, they have just scored a last-gasp winner!"
"This is a goal that will go down in history!"
"Can you believe it? Leo Lin has beco the youngest core player of a quadruple-winning side in football history!"
"There may have been players in the past who won multiple titles at a similarly young age, but to beco the core of a multiple-title-winning team at this age, he is absolutely the first in football history!"
"And that is exactly why Leo Lin is creating history!"
"He is shaping history!"
As soon as play restarted, Klopp and Krawietz imdiately began furiously protesting to the referee from the touchline!
With only a few dozen seconds remaining, all Liverpool needed to do was defend!
Defend with everything they had, and keep defending until the final second!
Real Madrid pushed everyone forward in attack, leaving only the goalkeeper alone in the back with the ball.
At Navas's command, every Liverpool player dropped back into the penalty area, while every Real Madrid player surged into the box!
Navas then launched a long ball toward the left side of the area, clearly looking for Cristiano Ronaldo!
The Portuguese forward possessed terrifying leap and heading ability!
Leo Lin and Lovren closed in on him from both sides, while Matip stayed right behind Ronaldo and jumped as well. The three of them practically rose together with Ronaldo trapped in the middle!
But Ronaldo still got to the first ball!
Cristiano Ronaldo flicked on the header!
Mignolet got one hand to it and tipped it over the bar!
In the dying monts of the final, Real Madrid won another corner!
Not a single fan in the stadium was sitting anymore. Everyone was on their feet, every eye fixed on the pitch, waiting for the final outco.
Jon Champion finally managed to steady himself and spoke in a trembling voice.
"No one knows whether this corner will go straight in. After all, in a match like this, with the score already at 5-4, anything can happen!"
"Liverpool must stay fully focused and get ready for one last defensive stand. For them, as long as they defend this corner, the referee will surely blow for full ti imdiately!"
"Liverpool will lift another Champions League trophy, a hard-earned Champions League trophy, and beco quadruple winners!"
Liverpool fans waited in tense anticipation, while Real Madrid fans clung desperately to that final sliver of hope.
Ramos, Cristiano Ronaldo, Varane, the players with the strongest aerial ability, spread out and lined up across the middle of Liverpool's penalty area, while Liverpool set up in man-to-man marking.
The tension had beco almost suffocating when Klopp suddenly made a substitution on the touchline.
Lallana ca on for Salah, and Moreno ca on for Mané!
"Smart substitution, very smart!"
"Bringing on Moreno and Lallana not only strengthens Liverpool's aerial defending, it also disrupts Real Madrid's rhythm and montum at exactly this mont!"
The two hurried onto the pitch and imdiately took up positions at the near post and in the middle of the box to join the defense.
Modrić raised both hands, clearly signaling a set corner routine.
The corner was whipped toward the near post, and Lallana read it perfectly, heading it away!
But he could not get enough distance on it. The ball dropped near the edge of the area. There was still a chance!
Milner and Moreno both threw themselves in front of it, using their bodies to block Toni Kroos's shot!
The ball ricocheted to the right. Leo Lin charged onto it with long strides and hamred it clear all the way back into Real Madrid's half!
Navas hurried after it and brought it under control. He turned and still wanted to send another long ball forward, but Turpin gave him no more ti!
"Beep,"
"Beep."
"Beep!!!"
The whole stadium erupted, and Liverpool's players went sprinting across the pitch!
Starters and substitutes alike all exploded into celebration!
"It's over!!!"
At this mont, every comntator could finally shout those words at the top of their lungs!
"Finally!!!"
"It's over!"
"The 2017-2018 UEFA Champions League has co to an end!"
"At the summit of Europe, in this blockbuster clash, the Galácticos faced Liverpool, and in the end Liverpool completed a hard-fought 5-4 coback victory!"
"This was a truly magnificent Champions League final, worthy of the title of Europe's grandest stage!"
"According to UEFA's live official statistics, the audience for this final has surpassed 420 million, setting a new all-ti record and making this the most-watched Champions League final in football history!"
"Liverpool are the champions!"
"They were once down 1-3 to Real Madrid, but they fought back to level it, were overtaken again, leveled it again, went behind again, then equalized again at the death!"
"And finally won it with a killer blow!"
"In this match, Liverpool embodied the spirit of You'll Never Walk Alone to its absolute limit!"
"They never give up!"
"They struggled through adversity! They were reborn through hardship! They sank deep into the mire, yet never once gave up hope!"
"And that is exactly why they deserve to be Champions League winners!"
"The decisive turning points in this match were undoubtedly Leo Lin's dramatic equalizer and dramatic winner. This incredibly young player played an enormously important role in this Champions League final and had an enormous impact on it!"
"This Champions League final will undoubtedly beco a milestone in Leo Lin's career!"
"This match is the defining masterpiece of his career!"
"A god-tier masterpiece!"
Jon Champion could finally pour out everything in his heart, while on the pitch Liverpool's players were celebrating like mad!
The broadcast cut to close-ups of the players, a full spectrum of emotion on display. Cristiano Ronaldo's face was filled with frustration and refusal to accept it.
Modrić's eyes were red, and Toni Kroos had an arm around Casemiro as they walked toward the tunnel in disappointnt.
The two most extre emotions were intertwined at this mont. The deeper Real Madrid's despair, the greater Liverpool's joy!
Leo Lin was lying on the ground now, completely spent.
Excitent and fighting spirit are the best kind of adrenaline. During the match just now, that ntal surge of adrenaline had even made Leo Lin forget for a ti that he was playing with a minor fracture in his arm.
Only now, with the frenzy and euphoria crashing over him and that ntal adrenaline beginning to fade, did the stabbing pain in his arm beco more and more obvious.
The surrounding players all ca charging toward Leo Lin, ready to celebrate, but team doctor Jack was the first to rush over and shield him.
"Don't touch his right hand! Don't touch his right hand!"
The brace and stabilizing gear that had already been prepared were put to use at once.
Jack quickly immobilized Leo Lin's mildly fractured right arm, and only after everything was secured did he finally let out a long breath.
But the sight of it left the fans in the stadium, the viewers in the live streams, and the legendary comntators in the major studios all stunned.
"You've got to be kidding ." Gerrard could not believe it.
"So you're saying Lin scored the equalizer and the winner with a fractured arm, and fought Real Madrid for a full 120 minutes?!"
"This..."
All the legends around him had widened eyes and faces full of shock.
"Is he even human?!"
