Chapter 641: The Match or The Tie IX
#85 minute…
After finally getting one goal back in the ga, the Uventus players played with a renewed fervor and none of their previous defeated mood was anywhere to be found.
The Madrid players realizing the danger tried to take back the montum, but they were unable to and settled for trying to disrupt the montum by slowing the ga down whenever they had possession, but all they succeeded in doing was slowing down the Uventus player’s efforts.
In the end, they couldn’t completely stop them and once again, Uventus had stolen the ball deep in the Madrid half of the pitch and had imdiately launched the ball forward, trying to get the ball to the forwards.
Sergio Ramos and Nacho stayed directly in front of the goalkeeper, trying to make themselves a wall in the path of the forwards, but Ronaldo rely ran slightly wide before receiving the ball from Chiesa.
Just as he entered from the right side of the penalty box, Ronaldo imdiately swung at the ball before he was closed down, unleashing a powerful shot at goal.
{Ronaldoooooo!} the comntator shouted as the ball flew at goal, but Courtois was not going to let the ball past him a second ti, especially when it was coming right at him.
Putting his hands to block the ball that was too powerful to grasp, Courtois deflected the ball into the air.
{Oh! Saved!}
With the ball flying into the air and back into play, Ronaldo ran at it again, wanting to catch it on the header, but he wasn’t the only one running at the ball.
Seeing Ramos, Nacho, and Courtois also rushing at the ball to contest for it, Ronaldo gave up on heading the ball directly at goal and jumped early, heading the ball back out of the penalty box towards the nearest player in black.
The ball flew at Dybala, who caught the ball with the side of his right foot, flicking it over to his left side.
{Dybala. He’s all alone!!!} The comntator shouted as he saw Dybala strike at the ball on the volley, sending it back at the goal that was empty thanks to Courtois running off his line earlier.
Courtois ran back to his goal as fast as his legs could carry him and leaped powerfully, stretching his hands at the incoming ball, but he couldn’t reach, and the ball smashed past him into the back of the goal.
{It’s in!!! Uventus have two now!}
{One more needed!!!} The comntator scread excitedly, his voice almost drowning out the noise of the few Uventus fans in the stands as they celebrated their team’s goal.
Despite still being behind, the Uventus fans didn’t stay silent and scread at the top of their voices as they watched the Uventus players quickly pick up the ball and take it back to the middle of the field, sharing high-fives on the way.
After all, they already had two goals back and the difference between the two teams was no longer significant.
In fact, it was a score that they could even accept… they already had two away goals and as long as they could win at their own ho stadium, the ga would be a wrap.
How could they not be excited, moreover, it looked like their team wasn’t going to settle for just this and would be looking t even equalize the ga.
With all those factors added up, the fans could not resist cheering excitedly and singing their player’s praises as the ga once again resud.
#92nd minute…
{Two minutes of the additional four gone and Madrid have a free-kick} the comntator said, describing the events on the pitch to the viewers and listeners.
Earlier, Jason had tried to send a pass behind the defense into Chiesa’s path, but Chiesa didn’t properly ti his run and had run into an offside position.
He was quickly noticed by the assistant referee, who’s flag quickly went up, putting an end to the attack.
Marcelo jogged over to pick up the ball and put it down for the free kick, but he purposely put the ball down in a wrong place, prompting the referee to co over to adjust the ball’s position and give him a warning, but Marcelo didn’t care as he was trying to waste ti.
The Uventus fans in the stands shouted out boos to the Madrid man, but their boos were quickly drowned out the Madrid fans who had begun singing.
*”4 years ago, you lost 4:1,”*
*”3 years ago, you lost 3:0,”*
*”Today, you lose 3:2,”* the Madrid fans sang on repeat, not glancing at the clock as they expected the final whistle to blow at any ti.
As annoying as it was to listen to the Madrid fans, the Uventus players gritted their teeth and tightly marked each player near Marcelo, forcing him to send a lobbed ball forward.
The ball flew towards the Uventus penalty box but after a mid-air contest with Jovic, De Ligt headed the ball back towards the midfield where Rabiot caught it on his chest and brought it under control.
The Uventus forwards had already begun springing forward, dragging their markers along as soon as De Ligt had headed the ball back into midfield.
Picking out Ronaldo making a run down the right flank, Rabiot sent a powerful grounded pass forward, sending the ball skidding over the green into Ronaldo’s path,but Ronaldo wasn’t alone.
Sergio Ramos was the one marking Ronaldo and seeing Ronaldo making a run forward down the right flank, he didn’t hesitate to jump into a tackle, aiming to bring him down no matter the cost.
However, just as Ramos knew how dangerous Ronaldo could be if he could get within shooting distance of the goal, Ronaldo also knew how dangerous Ramos could be to opposing players who could prove a threat to the team, hence, Ronaldo had been keeping an eye on Ramos from the start.
When Ramos ca sliding in, Ronaldo did his signature back chop, forcefully cutting back and stopping himself from entering the path of Sergio Ramos’s tackle.
However, despite evading the tackle, Ronaldo didn’t dawdle as Ramos was already picking himself back up.
Spotting Jason making a cutting run infield from the left flank, Ronaldo didn’t hesitate and lifted the ball into Jason’s path.
