Chapter 322 Holding the sky with one palm, penalty shootout
In the entire Wembley Stadium, everyone held their breath and looked at Manchester City's half.
The time of the game has timed out, as long as the penalty kick is taken, overtime will end regardless of whether a goal is scored or not.
If Harland can score the ball, then congratulations to Real Madrid, they will win the UEFA Champions League in the 2022-2023 season, which is also the No.14 Champions League in their team history.
If Harland's penalty kick is not scored, then the two sides will enter the most brutal penalty shootout.
All the suspense of this game will be completely revealed for everyone in the next few seconds.
The referee retreated outside the penalty area, reconfirmed the positions of both sides, and blew his whistle.
The silence of the entire Wembley Stadium was completely broken by this whistle.
On the bench of Manchester City and Real Madrid, all the players stood on the sidelines, and some players had already knelt on the ground, praying constantly.
Believe me, at this moment, God is also very upset.
"Please, let Harland kick in!"
"Please, let Li Mingyu jump out!"
Endless pressure came to the two people who were confronting each other.
Harland took a deep breath, then let it out fiercely, with a grim expression on his face, and started to run up.
Li Mingyu didn't have the slightest experience in saving penalties, so he could only stand there, pinning all his hopes on these gloves.
Saint Cassie's Gloves, I hope you don't disappoint me.
The moment Harland swung his legs to shoot, Li Mingyu felt the guidance of the glove and was overjoyed.
In the eyes of fans all over the world, Li Mingyu moved his body slightly to his left side, and then his feet seemed to be on springs, and he made a beautiful side throw, and threw himself towards his left side.
This time, Harland did not choose to volley vigorously, but used his right foot to push the ball to his right corner.
However, when his penalty kick was shot, Harland's eyes were bigger than a bull's-eye, because he saw Li Mingyu's body flying towards the direction of his shot.
He seemed to see the mocking smile on the corner of Li Mingyu's mouth.
Boy, let me catch you.
Under Harland's horrified eyes, Li Mingyu's left fingertips touched the roaring football, causing a slight change in the direction of the football.
With a sound of "duang", the football hit the goal post hard and bounced back.
Suddenly, a figure wearing a blue and white jersey rushed into the penalty area and kicked the football out of the sideline.
The referee directly blew the whistle for the end of overtime.
The players of the Manchester City team rushed towards Li Mingyu who was lying on the ground with a smile on his face like crazy.
"Li, you are so handsome!"
"Thank you, Lee!"
"You did it, Lee!"
"Unbelievable, Lee!"
……
Even the teammates on the bench rushed onto the field one after another. They ignored the dejected Real Madrid players and rushed to Manchester City's goal, hugging each other excitedly.
Guardiola also breathed a sigh of relief. At that moment just now, his heart almost stopped beating.
Ancelotti's face was ashen, he did not expect that this game would really come to such a point.
Harland was like a walking dead, standing blankly on the penalty spot, his mind blank.
He didn't even react when Manchester City players touched him as they ran past him.
This ball was too heavy for Harland.
Li Mingyu had become his eternal nightmare.
Penalty shootout!
If you didn't know that there was still a penalty shootout, looking at the situation on the pitch, you would have thought that Manchester City had already won the championship.
Guardiola also quickly called everyone to his side.
Next, both sides must confirm the list of players who will take the penalty kick.
"Li, which one are you going to play?"
Guardiola asked cautiously.
After all, Li Mingyu didn't like the secret of penalty kicks, and there were different opinions.
Even within the Manchester City team, some people didn't believe that Li Mingyu was really not good at taking penalties, and they thought it was just Li Mingyu's smoke bomb.
In the penalty shootout in the World Cup final, Li Mingyu didn't have a chance to play, but in the penalty shootout in the Champions League final, Li Mingyu should prove himself!
However, Li Mingyu shook his head directly, and said, "Boss, I hope I can concentrate a little more. I want to use all my energy and energy to keep the goal, so I won't kick penalties!"
The faces of Guardiola and the rest of his team-mates were a bit weird.
This reason is too far-fetched. After all, in the sports world, many goalkeepers like to take penalty kicks.
However, Guardiola did not force Li Mingyu to play in front. After all, in a penalty shootout, the goalkeeper is more important!
At this time, the Manchester City team could only trust Li Mingyu.
In the end, Guardiola ranked Li Mingyu sixth, because according to the rules of the game, every player on the field must be listed in the order of appearance.
After arranging the order of the penalty kicks, Li Mingyu and Casemiro came to the referee.
Italian referee Daniele Orsato said with a serious face, "Gentlemen, today's game is very exciting. First of all, I would like to thank both of you for dedicating a classic duel to everyone. I believe that this game will definitely be included in the history of the Champions League!"
After hearing what the referee said, Li Mingyu had a smile on his face.
However, Casemiro's face was a bit embarrassed, feeling that the referee was too connotative for Real Madrid's meal operation.
The score was equalized by Manchester City at the end of regular time, and a penalty was missed at the end of overtime.
This kind of ups and downs of the plot does directly pull out the effect, but this is definitely not what they want to see in Real Madrid.
However, if Real Madrid can beat Manchester City in the penalty shootout in this game, then everything before will become a small tidbit, an easter egg, and add some topics.
However, if Real Madrid loses to Manchester City in a penalty shootout, then they will definitely become the saddest team in the history of the Champions League, and may be able to compete with AC Milan in 2005 for the title of the saddest team in the 21st century Champions League final.
The referee tossed the coin and it came up heads.
Before the penalty shootout, the referee is required to perform two coin tosses.
The first time, is to choose which side of the goal to use for the penalty shootout.
Li Mingyu chose the front, that is to say, the penalty shootout will be played in Manchester City's half.
