Phi-Fic Chapter 262 3 Crowns
Chapter 262 3 Crowns
Chapter 262 Triple Crown
Shinji Kagawa didn’t push it too hard. For him, the opponent’s goalkeeper will definitely pay attention to the spoon penalty now, so if he uses this trick again, the risk is very high. Once he is caught by the opponent, then in addition to himself being scolded, Dortmund will also bear more pressure.
So he just took a normal penalty.
The angle of the ball is not tricky, and Ter Stegen also guessed the direction correctly, but because of Ter Stegen's worry, he did not save it very hard, so he could only watch the ball fly from his fingertips into the goal.
Three to two!
After three rounds of penalty shootouts, Dortmund took the lead.
In this way, the pressure on Barcelona's players to take penalties in the fourth round will be considerable!
If another shot is missed and Dortmund scores a goal, there is no need to play in the fifth round. Dortmund wins directly [-]-[-]!
Pique is in this mood at this time, but he is also a person who is used to seeing big scenes, constantly adjusting his state, and Enrique next to him is also constantly reminding him, let him not be nervous, just play normally.
Soon, he came to the penalty spot.
Facing Pique, Langerak felt relatively relaxed at this moment, watching Pique's movements carefully.
Pique ran up, came to the ball, kicked and shot!
Langerac made a save, but guessed the wrong direction, and the ball rolled straight into the goal.
Seeing Pique's goal, Enrique was also relieved. His choice was still correct. Pique resisted the pressure at this critical moment and did not concede the ball again.
But even so, Dortmund must miss at least one of the next two goals, otherwise they still lose.
Thinking of this, he looked at Ter Stegen next to him.
Of course he didn't ask Ter Stegen to save one of the balls. It can be seen from the last ball that Ter Stegen's performance is a bit abnormal, otherwise Shinji Kagawa should be able to save that ball.So if he wants to put more pressure, I am afraid that he will lose the next ball even if he catches it.
"You don't need to be nervous. Even if you can't catch any of them, you don't need to feel any pressure. After all, Mathieu missed the ball and made us so passive." Enrique said, now that Mathieu has finished the penalty, so first throw all the responsibility to him.
Ter Stegen nodded. He has been a substitute since he moved from Borussia Monchengladbach to Barcelona last summer, but with his own efforts, he now squeezed Bravo to the bench in the Champions League, and in the semi-final against Bayern Munich, it was also because of his three magical saves that helped the team win.
It was Kuba who took the penalty in the fourth round of Dortmund.
Kuba is considered a veteran of Dortmund. He has been playing since 2007. He has not only experienced two consecutive Bundesliga championships, but also experienced the defeat in the UEFA Champions League final in the 11-12 season. In addition, he is now 30 years old and has rich experience, so Klopp put him in the key position of the fourth penalty.
Kuba did not disappoint Klopp. After the run-up, he volleyed vigorously, directly deceiving Ter Stegen, and shot the ball into the goal.
Four to three!
The penalty shootout between the two sides came to the fifth round. Barcelona's player Xavi who took the penalty in the fifth round was also under a lot of pressure. After all, as long as he missed the shot, it would be over directly.
Enrique is no less stressed than the players at this time, but he is still doing work for Xavi. As long as this crucial goal is scored, Barcelona still has a chance.
At that time, the pressure will be on the last player of Dortmund to take the penalty. After all, if the shot is missed in the fifth round, the overall quality of Barcelona's players will be higher after the sixth round. Moreover, the winner will be determined in one round at that time, and there will be more accidental factors. Dortmund's young players may not be able to withstand that kind of pressure.
Harvey came on.
As a midfield master, he is 35 years old this year and has reached the age of retirement.
This game may also be the last time he is so close to the top of Europe.
After standing at the penalty spot, his heart was extremely peaceful at this moment.
He made his debut at the Barcelona Club in 1998. At the end of 2000, he represented the Spanish national team. Over the past decade, he has participated in countless competitions and won numerous honors, large and small. Now it is finally time to say goodbye.
He may retire, or he may play in a less competitive league for a few more years.
After the referee signaled, Harvey slowly ran to the side of the ball and calmly volleyed.
Langerac guessed the right direction, but missed the ball.
Harvey's shot was as tricky and penetrating as his pass.
Four to four.
Now, it depends on whether the last player of Dortmund to take the penalty can score this shot.
Before, no one thought that Klopp would let Langerac play the last kick.
The two goalkeepers stood facing each other. They were originally the team's substitute goalkeepers, but now they appeared on the field at the same time by chance, and now they met in a penalty shootout, but one of them will take the penalty kick.
Klopp watched the field nervously, and he didn't know whether Langerak could withstand the pressure.
After waiting for the referee's signal, Langerak ran to the ball quickly without any fancy movements, without looking at Ter Stegen at all.
Anyway, no matter which way you want to pounce, I will shoot in the direction I choose.
"Bam—"
The ball flew out in response.
Half a second later, there was overwhelming cheers in the stadium-of course, it was issued by Dortmund fans.
Langerak scored this goal, but Ter Stegen didn't guess the right direction.
Five to four.
After 120 minutes of the main game and five rounds of brutal penalty shootouts, Dortmund finally defeated Barcelona with great difficulty relying on tenacious perseverance.
After 18 years, Dortmund finally reached the top of Europe again. Moreover, this time, they also won the league championship and the German Cup championship, becoming the eighth team in history to win the "Triple Crown" honor.
The Dortmund players celebrated wantonly, and Shen Peng, the number one hero of winning, was also thrown into the sky by them.
In contrast, Barcelona's players look a bit bleak, especially Mathieu...
They would have won, if not for Shen Peng's shot at the end of the second half...
And in the penalty shootout, they also had a good chance, but Shen Peng's scoop penalty made Barcelona's Mathieu, who took the penalty in the third round, play abnormally and missed a key goal.
After the celebration of Dortmund's players, it's time for the awards. They will all receive a Champions League medal, and they will also hold the Big Ears Cup, which represents the strongest in Europe.
