Wembley Stadium.
All eyes were on Manchester City's goal.
As long as Sterling can kick the ball in, Manchester City will win the Champions League this season.
The whole stadium is silent and you can hear a pin drop.
It seemed as if the only sound of his own heartbeat could be heard in the stadium.
Sterling ran up to the penalty spot, lifted his right foot, and kicked the football.
On the opposite side, Courtois seemed to have judged the direction of Sterling's shot, moved a step ahead, and then rushed directly to his left.
In mid-air, Sterling hit the football with his right foot and it flew towards the goal.
The expression on Courtois' face froze.
Because the football did not fly to his left according to his prediction.
But...
Midway!
Sterling actually used the "spoon penalty" kick at this time.
What a big heart!
The moment Courtois landed on the ground, the football drew a wonderful arc and fell into the goal.
And Sterling looked even more calm, with his hands spread out and placed by his side.
This time, I was such a dick, and immediately detonated the entire Wembley Stadium.
Real Madrid players all covered their faces and fell to the ground.
The Manchester City players, on the other hand, ran from the midfield as if they were going crazy, surrounded Sterling and Li Mingyu, and celebrated passionately.
Guardiola covered his face with his hands, not wanting others to see his tears.
Ten years, a full ten years.
It has been a full ten years since Guardiola left Barcelona. He wants to prove himself and prove that he does not rely on Barcelona's system or "Habaibu" to succeed.
But in the past ten years, he has been struggling. Although he has achieved some results, he has not had the most important honor, the Champions League.
Today, Guardiola finally won the coveted Champions League, and the experience of winning the championship was also a wonderful roller coaster ride for him.
Suddenly, Guardiola felt his body lighten. The panicked Guardiola opened his eyes and saw that all the Manchester City players were surrounded by him, and he had already been lifted up by everyone.
"Boss, long live!"
……
Guardiola was thrown high by the crowd.
Guardiola in the air showed a happy smile.
Not far away, De Bruyne and Harland looked at this scene with disappointment.
De Bruyne's expression was very complicated, and he couldn't help but shook his head and smiled wryly.
I left Manchester City and came to Real Madrid because I wanted to seek the championship.
As a result, when they were competing for the championship, they encountered Manchester City. In the end, Manchester City defeated Real Madrid and won the championship.
This is too ironic!
And Harland looked at the No. 10 player who smiled the happiest.
Since I came to Real Madrid, I have been living in the shadow of this person.
Although Li Mingyu is younger than Harland, Li Mingyu, who came from behind, has completely crushed Harland in terms of honors he has won.
After all, De Bruyne was older and adjusted his mentality faster. He reached out and patted Harland on the shoulder and said, "Don't be discouraged, we will make a comeback next season!"
However, this time, Harland did not cooperate very much, but said lightly, "Can we really defeat him?"
De Bruyne's hand trembled slightly.
When the penalty kick was saved just now, I also seemed to have this problem deep in my heart.
Although this is the first time De Bruyne has played against Li Mingyu, there was once a very famous Chinese table tennis player's famous saying, sometimes such a handshake makes that person feel like he has lost!
Although De Bruyne didn't want to admit it, but after being continuously hit by Li Mingyu's performance, he also had a thought "I'm not as good as him" deep in his heart.
De Bruyne didn't speak any more, just walked away silently.
Harland's face was very ugly. In today's game, the protagonist should have been his.
A hat-trick in the Champions League final, the first time in 50 years, and he almost completed the big four that tied with his predecessors.
However, all of this has become the embellishment of Manchester City's championship.
A great victory requires a great opponent.
Unfortunately, Harland became the foil.
Is there anything more exciting than the opponent completing a hat-trick and being able to win the final victory?
In this game, although Li Mingyu had only one goal and two assists, he saved Manchester City with his own hands.
Counting the penalty kicks in overtime, Li Mingyu saved three of Real Madrid's five penalty kicks, and one shot directly into the air. Even for the scored goal, Li Mingyu touched the football with his hands.
It can be said that Li Mingyu took over the game after Edson left the field in overtime.
Whether it is in the World Series or in the Champions League final, the goalkeeper has performed like a god.
In the 2000 European Cup semi-final, Italy played against the Netherlands.
Italian goalkeeper Toldo put on a god-level performance. His performance was even crazier than Li Mingyu. In regular time, he saved the Dutch captain Frank de Boer’s penalty. Then, in the subsequent penalty shootout, he saved three consecutive penalties from his opponent, helping Italy advance to the final.
The most impressive thing is the performance of the Dutch captain Frank de Boer. Both penalty kicks were saved, and the angle and strength of the two penalty kicks were almost exactly the same. They were both the goalkeeper's favorite half-high ball.
"A man can step into the same river twice, a man can trip over the same stone twice!"
This sentence became the nightmare of Frank de Boer's life.
Penalty shootouts have always been the fastest place for goalkeepers to become famous.
This time, Li Mingyu can definitely be regarded as famous in one battle.
A midfielder can not only help the team to win the game, but also turn the tide in the penalty shootout. This is a plot that can only be found in novels. How could it happen in reality!
Ceferin, the president of UEFA, walked onto the small side stage of the podium with a smile on his face.
The chairmen of both teams followed suit.
Lafayette Florentino, UEFA President Ceferin, there are irresolvable contradictions between the two.
Because until now, the UEFA Super League is still like a fishbone, deeply stuck in Ceferin's throat.
Seeing Florentino who was smiling but not smiling, Ceferin also nodded politely.
Next, the exciting awards ceremony will begin.
The first is the awards for the referees.
Manchester City players and staff have lined up to welcome the referee team with applause.
Referee Daniele Orsato led his referee team onto the podium.
They took the medals and left the scene quickly after taking pictures, because they knew that the protagonists were not them.
Next, the runner-up Real Madrid players.
They will also receive a medal belonging to the runner-up.
During the welcome of the Manchester City team, the generals of Real Madrid, who had adjusted their mentality a little bit, also walked up in silence.
The frustrated faces broke the hearts of the Real Madrid fans on the scene and in front of the TV.
Bringing the runner-up medals, Real Madrid's players also left the field quickly.
Because they also know that today's protagonist is not them.
The exciting moment has finally arrived.
In the warm applause of the fans, Guardiola, as the head coach, was the first to come up, shook hands with UEFA officials, and embraced his own team's chairman Mubarak, shook hands with Real Madrid's chairman Florentino, and finally stood in front of UEFA chairman Ceferin.
Ceferin smiled and said, "Josep, congratulations, you finally succeeded!"
Guardiola felt sore, yes, it finally succeeded.
Touching the gold medal on his chest with his hand, Guardiola showed a bright smile.
Next, the Manchester City players stepped forward to receive their medals one by one.
Li Mingyu was last in line.
The smile on Mubarak's face needn't be disguised.
Buying Li Mingyu was definitely the best decision he made after becoming the chairman of the Manchester City team.
Florentino shook Li Mingyu's hand with a half-smile, with a bit of greed and resentment in his eyes.
When he was in Barcelona, Li Mingyu once disgraced Real Madrid.
Unexpectedly, after leaving Spain, Li Mingyu completely nailed Real Madrid to the pillar of shame this time.
In the end, Li Mingyu came to Ceferin.
"Congratulations, young man, your performance is really amazing. You really deserve to be the champion of the World Cup. You deserve today's victory!"
Ceferin has a very good impression of Li Mingyu, and it is because of him that the ratings of the UEFA Champions League final hit a new high, making it the highest-rated football game ever recorded.
At this time, suddenly the TV camera was shown on the faces of the Real Madrid players who had not yet left the field.
De Bruyne, Haaland, Casemiro...
Everyone's eyes were on the young, disgraced Manchester City player.
No. 10, Li Mingyu.
This number, this name, may become a nightmare for their whole life.
Amid the unwilling expressions of the Real Madrid players, Li Mingyu followed Ceferin to the central championship podium, where the Champions League trophy of this season - the Big Ears Cup - was placed on the platform.
With an unconcealable smile, Li Mingyu walked up to the stage, and the Manchester City players who were already on the podium couldn't wait to jump up and down.
Manchester City's first Champions League trophy in team history is right in front of them.
Ceferin picked up the big ear cup, handed it to Li Mingyu, and said, "Young man, go, hold up your Champions League trophy, and celebrate wantonly!"
Feeling the weight of the trophy, Li Mingyu walked to his teammates excitedly.
Amidst the excited cheers of the fans, Li Mingyu raised the big ear cup and shouted loudly,
"we are the champion!"
"we are the champion!"
"we are the champion!"
……
Colorful ribbons were flying in the air, and Li Mingyu held the Big Ears Cup high above his head. All Manchester City players raised their arms and shouted excitedly. At this moment, they are the kings of Europe.
The white ribbon on the big ear cup fluttered in the wind, and Li Mingyu's mood could no longer be described in words.
The honor of this season already made Li Mingyu feel unreal.
Happiness comes too fast!
This season, Li Mingyu has reached the peak that a player can achieve.
The World Cup in the first half of the season made Li Mingyu stand at the top of the world.
The Premier League quadruple in the second half of the season allowed Li Mingyu to stand at the pinnacle of England.
In the end, the champion of the Champions League allowed Li Mingyu to stand at the pinnacle of Europe.
The unprecedented achievements made Li Mingyu the best player in today's football, bar none.
Li Mingyu put the big ear cup in front of him, and kissed the trophy affectionately, leaving his imprint on the big ear cup.
