The match between Inter Milan and Liverpool at the Bernabéu Stadium did not show too much of a stalemate. At least, Liverpool's advantage was still very clear.
In the 30th minute of the game, when Gerard's shot was successfully saved by César again, Liverpool's shot count had reached ten, while Inter Milan only had a pitiful two.
Inter Milan struggled to find a chance to strike a fatal blow in the gaps, but they were able to organize and create too few opportunities in the front field.
Without Pandev, Inter Milan's offense lacked a point of variation with a variety of means. It also made it easier for Liverpool to defend and more efficient in terms of formation cutting.
In the 34th minute of the game, Liverpool's midfield controlled the field. After the players passed the ball to each other, Alonso suddenly sped up his passing rhythm.
After he and Gerard passed each other twice, he suddenly passed the ball to the left side of the midfield.
Inter Milan had just formed a dense defense in his area, but Alonso's long pass made Inter Milan's hard work in defense go down the drain.
Aurelio rushed up and steadily stopped the ball. He observed the situation in front of him. Qin Xiong moved horizontally to the middle.
He decisively passed the ball to Qin Xiong.
Qin Xiong had already stepped into the area 40 yards away from the goal, which was a place where he could barely raise his leg to shoot.
In the process of receiving and stopping the ball with his back, Zanetti next to him was wary of Qin Xiong's movements. Cambiasso was also ready to intercept at any time.
The football rolled head-on. Qin Xiong waited for the football to roll under his feet before he used his left foot to knock the ball from behind to the right.
He deliberately stopped the ball to lure Cambiasso into making a defensive move!
If he was handling the ball in front of him, Cambiasso would be very cautious and careful.
But the football was behind him. It was different if he used his left foot to knock the ball. Cambiasso would definitely be able to see the football behind him!
Sure enough, Cambiasso saw the direction of the rolling football and immediately moved horizontally to intercept.
After Qin Xiong knocked the ball horizontally behind him, he immediately turned around!
He turned to control the ball and was about to meet Cambiasso head-on. At this time, Qin Xiong made a stance to swing his leg and shoot.
Cambiasso subconsciously lifted his leg to block.
Qin Xiong immediately calmed down. The reason why he had made such a move in order to lure Cambiasso out was because if Cambiasso was still defending, he would definitely be very calm!
However, as long as he made the first defensive move, the probability of being deceived by a feint was very high!
That was because there was almost no time left for him to think. Just like an arrow that had been shot, there was no turning back. Cambiasso's following defense would be even more nervous or instinctive!
After Cambiasso lifted his leg to block the attack, a thought flashed through his mind. I've been tricked!
Yes, the reason why he subconsciously blocked Qin Xiong's shot in this area was because Liverpool had too many long shots since the start of the match!
He thought that Qin Xiong would make a long shot this time, at least with a high probability.
However, Qin Xiong hooked the ball diagonally and brushed past Cambiasso's shoulder!
At this moment, Zanetti stuck close to him to block. This was the best time to intercept the ball with a high probability.
However, Qin Xiong's next move was to cross the ball to the right side.
After Qin Xiong broke through Cambiasso and restrained Zanetti, Gerard's space to cut inside to the middle was very loose.
Gerard, Qin Xiong, and Torres were now in front of Inter Milan's penalty area, surrounding the last Inter Milan defensive midfielder in a triangular formation.
Inter Milan's defensive line, together with the other midfielders, formed a larger encirclement around this triangular formation!
However, in this small area, after Qin Xiong passed the ball to Gerard, Mota appeared isolated and helpless.
Just as he was about to block Gerard's forward path, he saw Gerard pass the ball diagonally behind him.
In front of the penalty area, Torres, who was sandwiched between the two center backs with his back facing Inter Milan's goal, retreated to take the initiative to receive the ball. He had no chance to stop the ball. He knew that if he stopped the ball or made other breakthroughs, there was a high probability that Inter Milan's two center backs would successfully block him.
Therefore, he simply kicked the ball out and diagonally passed the ball back.
However, this diagonal pass was not for Gerard, but for Qin Xiong!
After passing the ball, Qin Xiong took the initiative to engage in a physical confrontation with Zanetti. The two were already in physical contact, so he secretly used his strength to push Zanetti away, widening the distance between the two. Then, he started to burst forward!
Although Zanetti immediately chased after Qin Xiong after being pushed away, he was still chasing! He could not directly circle to Qin Xiong's front.
Gerard, Torres, and Qin Xiong. The passes between the three of them were fast and smooth.
In this narrow range, a triangular pass was completed. It started with Qin Xiong and ended with Qin Xiong!
In the process of Qin Xiong breaking through Cambiasso and plugging forward after passing the ball, his distance from the goal had shortened from forty yards to thirty yards.
When Torres's pass came in front of him, Qin Xiong took advantage of the opportunity to shoot!
No one interfered when he raised his foot, and the feeling of volleying the football was very strenuous.
This was a completely explosive shot from Qin Xiong!
BOOM！
The football seemed to have the momentum to destroy everything. In the blink of an eye, it flew between Lucio and Samuel. The momentum swept past. The two men were shocked and their scalps went numb at the same time!
The more experienced a player was, the more he could observe the trajectory of the football and make an intuitive judgment.
The two men did not see the trajectory of the ball at all!
Because of this, it meant that the speed of the ball was unimaginably fast.
After Qin Xiong shot, his whole body left the ground. He seemed to have used all the strength in his body and controlled his footwork to avoid hitting the ground.
When he landed again, his gaze was fixed on the football. His sharp, spirited, and even slightly dignified gaze followed the football all the way to Inter Milan's goal!
When the football rushed into the right half of the goal with the force of thunder, César had just pounced out!
Qin Xiong landed, retracted his gaze, and closed his eyes. The moment he opened his eyes again, the Bernabéu ground shook, and the cheers were overwhelming!
The situation of the Champions League's pinnacle battle had finally undergone a fundamental change!
And this change came from Qin Xiong's long shot!
It came from his broken goal!
A smile appeared on Qin Xiong's face as he began to run even more energetically, roaring wildly.
He patted his chest and roared as if he was so excited that he did not know what to do!
In the stands of the Bernabéu stadium, a sea of red boiled.
The Liverpool players on the field, the substitutes off the field, and the coach all opened their mouths and shouted at the moment when Qin Xiong broke the goal!
Everyone stared at Qin Xiong's figure with bright eyes and chased after him!
