Deafening cheers rang out at Bernabéu!
A penalty kick!
A penalty kick that could kill Lyon appeared!
"Real Madrid has been awarded a penalty kick just before the end of the game! Qin Xiong sent a straight pass to Ruud van Nistelrooy in front of the penalty area. Squillaci chose to tackle in order to stop Ruud van Nistelrooy from shooting. He did not touch the football, not at all. He tackled Ruud van Nistelrooy to the ground. Not only did he give Real Madrid a penalty kick, but he also got himself sent off with a red card! "
The entire Lyon team was dismayed by this decision, but there was nothing they could do about it. They did not go to the referee to protest. Everyone saw clearly that Squillaci's foul was too obvious, and there was no way to defend himself.
Manager Houllier's face was heavy on the sidelines. He did not expect that Lyon, who had taken the initiative in the last game and almost completely crushed Real Madrid, would suffer a shocking reversal at Bernabéu!
He did not intend to make a substitution because once the penalty kick was scored, Real Madrid would be in the lead. Lyon needed to attack and score to equalize the score. They had to retreat from this stadium in order to maintain their lead over Real Madrid in the group.
Real Madrid had scored big in three games against Kyiv Dynamo and Steaua Bucharest. With the same record, Real Madrid's goal difference advantage would be obvious!
So, Lyon could not weaken their offense. Three defenders? Three defenders? Fine!
The Real Madrid players looked forward to the penalty kick. The team's first kicker, Ruud van Nistelrooy, walked to the penalty spot and was ready to take the penalty himself.
When the referee blew the whistle, Ruud van Nistelrooy began to run. With a calm look in his eyes, he kicked the ball to the right side of the goal range.
The goalkeeper, Kupet, also made a save almost at the moment when Ruud van Nistelrooy shot.
In this kind of top-notch penalty shootout, it was almost impossible for the goalkeeper to watch first and then pounce after successfully blocking the shot because the player was Ruud van Nistelrooy, not a nobody.
A scene that shocked all the Bernabéu fans appeared!
Kupet's prediction was correct. He successfully saved Ruud van Nistelrooy's penalty kick!
The whole stadium exclaimed!
"Unbelievable! Unbelievable! Ruud van Nistelrooy has missed consecutive penalty kicks in recent games! But this penalty kick miss may be the most crucial one!
Kupet made a great save. He saved the Lyon team from the jaws of death and then came back! "
When Van Nistelrooy saw that his shot was saved, he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless pit. He turned around and walked back in a daze like a zombie. On the other hand, the Lyon players were in high spirits and their morale was boosted.
But when everyone came back to their senses, they were stunned to see the football, which was pounced out by Kupet, pass by Abidal's big foot and go to the front field, and fall at Helguera's feet.
The aged royal guard, Helguera, observed the situation in the front field after he stopped the ball, and then decisively sent out a direct pass.
The football rolled to the feet of Qin Xiong, who was 40 yards away from the goal.
Qin Xiong stopped the ball, turned around, kicked the ball, supported his body with his left foot, swung his right leg, and shot!
The Lyon fans and Real Madrid fans in the stadium were in an extreme mood of ice and fire.
But they did not expect the situation to take a turn. Almost in the blink of an eye, they saw the football fly towards Lyon's goal!
It was as if a rainbow bridge had risen in the Bernabéu stadium, in the half where the Lyon team was located!
When the football left Qin Xiong's feet, other than the goalkeeper, Kupet, it was impossible for the other Lyon players to interfere with the ball.
The football drew a beautiful arc in the air and began to fall after entering the penalty area. The speed was not very fast.
Kupet ran quickly to the left side of the goal. He did not expect to celebrate with Chris after he successfully saved Ruud van Nistelrooy's penalty kick. He roared to show his credit for turning the tide.
But now he had to face a new round of threats.
If he had known, he would not have wasted time yelling at Chris.
Maybe they saw Abidal kick the ball out of the encirclement, so they relaxed and thought they were safe.
Indeed, no one thought that Qin Xiong would choose to shoot from 40 yards away from the goal!
When Kupet saw that the football was about to fall into the goal, he gritted his teeth and jumped up. He straightened his right arm and wanted to use his fingertips to block the football, even if it was just slightly changing the trajectory of the football!
Because of Qin Xiong's lob shot, the football's falling trajectory brushed the lower edge of the crossbar. It was just right!
When Kupet jumped to his limit, his eyes were filled with unwillingness, as well as despair that quickly dimmed!
Almost!
Just a little more!
His fingertips did not touch the football, and the football fell into the goal!
The Bernabéu stadium was like a flash flood erupting into an unprecedented explosive atmosphere!
The entire Lyon team was like a bolt from the blue. The players were dumbfounded. Some people looked at the rolling football in the goal with astonishment, while some people looked at Qin Xiong, who had completed the long-distance goal break. Their eyes were like they had seen a ghost!
The Real Madrid players, who had just regretted that Ruud van Nistelrooy missed the penalty kick, were collectively ecstatic. They really began to release and began the most passionate celebration.
Qin Xiong, who had been in a fighting stance, was also released.
He let out a wild roar and ran to the sidelines as if he did not have a trace of fatigue. At the same time, he took off his jersey on the way, revealing his strong upper body. He waved the jersey over his head twice and threw it away. He bent his legs and slid to the sidelines. His upper body muscles were tight and he let out a roar that seemed to shake the world!
Behind him, the Real Madrid teammates ran from different directions.
Everyone acted as if they had won an important championship and were celebrating wildly.
Because they knew how difficult it was to reverse Lyon in this game!
The performance of the Spellcaster Class-A since dominating the group stage could be said to be terrifyingly stable. Other than conceding a goal to Real Madrid, the other opponents could not penetrate their goal!
Qin Xiong was pushed down by Raúl from behind. More and more Real Madrid players gathered around him and celebrated wildly together!
"Finishing blow! Finishing blow! Finishing blow! Super Qin Xiong scored twice and finished off Lyon with a long-distance shot that shocked everyone! When everyone was still regretting that van Nistelrooy missed the opportunity to kill Lyon, Qin Xiong made up for van Nistelrooy's mistake and saved van Nistelrooy, preventing him from being condemned by everyone after the game!
Qin Xiong has a strong beating heart. There is no doubt that through the replay, we saw that after van Nistelrooy missed the penalty shot, Qin Xiong turned his head and ran to the backfield. He might have gone to participate in the defense, or he might have been waiting for an opportunity. He was not depressed and did not sigh. He knew that the game was still going on. Even if there was only one second left, the game had infinite possibilities!
His active running allowed Helguera to discover him, and then Helguera passed the ball to him and completed an assist that no one expected!
Super Qin Xiong saved Real Madrid!
He led Real Madrid to reverse the game from a two-goal deficit!
3:2
Real Madrid reversed Lyon at home with a score of 3: 2.
There are less than two minutes of injury stoppage time left before the end of the game! "
