Qin Xiong, who was sitting on the substitutes' bench, was filled with anger. His inability to participate in the game meant that he had entrusted his fate to others.
He did not like this feeling.
Even if he was going to die, he wanted to die knowing why.
On the pitch, Real Madrid's entire team retreated to defend. AC Milan's offense was like a tide, but they could only threaten Real Madrid's goal with long shots from the periphery.
In the 88th minute of the game, Pirlo plugged in from the back and controlled the ball in front of the penalty area. When Guti and Diarra came to encircle him, he passed the ball to Kaka.
Kaka missed the ball under Emerson's marking. On the other side, Seedorf, who had plugged in from the front of the penalty area, directly volleyed the ball!
The football flew to the lower right corner of the goal without a trace of spin. Casillas courageously blocked the ball with one hand.
There was a sigh of disappointment in San Siro.
Carlos could only clear the ball in the penalty area. The football that was kicked out quickly fell to the feet of the AC Milan players, and the Rossoneri reorganized their attack.
In the 90th minute of the game, Kaka tried to send a straight pass to Inzaghi in front of the penalty area. Unfortunately, there was too little space left for Inzaghi to reverse the offside. He could only watch as Casillas confiscated the ball.
The Real Madrid fans calmed down a little and finally got the ball.
Casillas passed the ball to the full back, Ramos. He originally wanted to control the game and pass the ball a few more times to waste time. However, AC Milan was very aggressive in the front field, so Ramos could only kick the ball out in a hurry. AC Milan got another chance to attack in the 91st minute.
The fourth official on the sidelines played three minutes of injury stoppage time!
This made the AC Milan fans extremely dissatisfied.
In addition to the two goals in the second half, there was also the time consumption after the collision between Qin Xiong and Gattuso. The Rossoneri fans felt that the injury stoppage time was obviously too little.
The AC Milan players also knew that there was not much injury stoppage time. They tried to stabilize their minds and patiently attack.
Create a real threat!
In the 92nd minute of the game, Kaka got the ball in the midfield and sped past Guti. Then, he passed the ball to Pirlo while facing the combined defense of Diarra and Emerson.
Pirlo confidently kicked the ball. The ball rolled in the direction of Kaka's forward cut, and Emerson immediately moved over to block the area where Kaka was advancing.
However, Pirlo did not pass the ball to Kaka at all. Instead, he used Kaka as a cover to pass the ball to Seedorf who came up from the other side!
After Seedorf took control of the ball from the right side of the penalty area, he observed the situation and suddenly sent a straight ball diagonally.
Real Madrid's defensive line had been wary of Inzaghi's running position, and this time Inzaghi was obviously running faster. Cannavaro and Helgua created an offside position for Inzaghi to fall into the offside trap.
Just as everyone raised their hands to signal that Inzaghi was offside, the referee did not say anything because the football did not roll to Inzaghi at all!
The football that was passed diagonally was behind Inzaghi. It rolled from the empty space between Helgua and Ramos to the position near the left flank end line.
Ramos felt a gust of wind behind him. He turned his head and saw Jankulovski cut straight to the end line position on the flank. He received the ball and swept it directly to the goal!
Because Real Madrid's defensive line was creating an offside position, Inzaghi was unmarked at the moment.
Most people could not react to the rapidly rolling football. Casillas rushed toward Inzaghi to expand the defensive area.
Inzaghi used the instep of his outside foot to gently cushion the ball when he handled the ball, causing the football to be deflected. Casillas fell to the ground to block. It was a subconscious blocking action, and the football rolled past his feet, brushed the inside of the near post, and darted into the goal!
San Siro instantly entered an atmosphere of ice and fire.
The Real Madrid fans were in a daze, and the AC Milan fans were cheering!
Inzaghi madly rushed to the sidelines and roared. Many Real Madrid players collapsed on the field.
"Finishing blow! Finishing blow! AC Milan finishing blow against Real Madrid! Jankulovski's plug in at the last moment contributed greatly to the goal. AC Milan's entire offensive system in the middle and front field played a huge role.
Kaka's instigation, Pirlo's transition, Seedorf's transfer, Jankulovski's cross, and Inzaghi's goal break!
Casillas has done everything he can. If it weren't for him, Real Madrid's goal would have been penetrated several times today!
Now the total score is 5: 4, and AC Milan leads Real Madrid by a goal!
The game is about to end, and Real Madrid still can't hold on at the last minute! "
Real Madrid's substitutes' bench seemed to have been hit by a torrential downpour. Many players bowed their heads and covered their faces in frustration.
Qin Xiong's clenched fists suddenly loosened.
He shook his head subconsciously, as if he could not accept the situation in front of him.
Ancelotti blushed and waved his fists in celebration. Capello crossed his arms in front of his chest, and his expression was indescribable. It was so gloomy that it was a little scary.
When the game resumed, it was AC Milan's turn to retreat. Real Madrid wanted to organize an attack, but they did not know where to start.
After Beckham's pass was cleared by Maldini's header, the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game.
Qin Xiong closed his eyes. Probably countless Real Madrid fans around the world had the same reaction as him at the moment.
"After a fierce 180-minute battle, AC Milan defeated Real Madrid with a total score of 5: 4 to advance to the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League. Real Madrid came to San Siro with a complete defeat at home and played a regrettable and wonderful game. They almost staged a shocking comeback, but unfortunately, AC Milan had the last laugh. Inzaghi's final kill made Real Madrid return with a grievance with the result that most people predicted. But it is undeniable that this process was not what anyone expected. Qin Xiong, who scored a hat-trick, also had an assist. He was the best player in the game. We can't help but ask, if Qin Xiong had played in the first round of the game, would the current result have been fundamentally different?
This is a question without an answer, but Real Madrid's internal contradictions need to be resolved. Otherwise, it is hard for us to believe that Real Madrid can walk out of the abyss! "
The game was over. Qin Xiong did not walk into the stadium. He went straight into the players' tunnel.
In the mixed interview area of the tunnel, reporters scrambled to surround him and ask him questions about the game.
Qin Xiong was annoyed by the questions coming from all directions.
He replied with a cold face.
"Don't ask me. Ask Fábio Capello!"
After he said this, the scene suddenly quieted down. He turned his head and happened to see Capello appear.
Capello's face was extremely ugly, but Qin Xiong did not care. He withdrew his gaze and walked away.
Behind him, the reporters immediately went to ask Capello questions.
