Champion’s Heart

When Sven Bender received a yellow card for revenge, the game had already entered seventy minutes.

Atletico Madrid still showed no signs of breaking through.

Simeone was restless on the sidelines, getting up and pacing back and forth.

If you can't score a goal and return to your home court in the second round, the game will be difficult...

Although Sven Bender's yellow card cast a shadow over Dortmund's victory.

But other than that, Dortmund's performance was outstanding.

Under Zhou Yi's control, Dortmund sometimes harassed Atletico Madrid's defense with quick passes and cuts, suppressing them who were ready to move. Sometimes he would step in the backcourt to delay time.

In the 73rd minute, Dortmund got a free kick 26 meters away from the goal. Royce took the kick. He did not kick the high ball to bypass the goalkeeper, but unexpectedly kicked it out. A ground ball was kicked, and the football rolled against the turf toward the lower corner of the goal.

Courtois once again made a wonderful save, falling to the ground and diving sideways, blocking the football from the baseline.

In the 79th minute, Dortmund almost scored again. Yan Min, who had switched to the right wing at that time, made a pass from the right wing. Mark jumped up on the line of the small penalty area and beat Juanfran with a header.

The football has successfully bypassed Courtois's fingers, but was ruthlessly blocked by the goalpost!

Goal post! Goal post! Oh! Mark's header hit the goal post! This was a very high-quality header! But in the end it hit the goal post, and Dortmund lost the chance to expand the score... ...If this goal is scored, the suspense of the second round will probably be completely ended! He Ping yelled regretfully.

Mark also looked very disappointed. He knelt on the ground with his head in his hands and stared blankly at the goal. He couldn't believe that such a beautiful header would be blocked by his home goal post...

Then Klopp started to make substitutions. He replaced Sven Bender with Kyle who had a yellow card. This was not for the purpose of protecting Sven Bender, but to let Kyle experience the experience with Atletico Madrid. The feeling of fighting so that he has a basic idea of ​​the second round.

After Klopp made a substitution, Simeone also made a substitution. But instead of strengthening defense, he strengthened offense.

Of course he is not willing to admit defeat just like that. He is a person who never gives up.

He made two substitutions in one go, replacing Raul Garcia with Spanish international Villa and replacing Diego with Arda Turan. This is about to launch a general offensive.

Facing the aggressive offensive of Atletico Madrid, Dortmund had to avoid its edge.

Under Zhou Yi's command, the team slowly recovered and launched a defensive counterattack.

During this period, Atletico Madrid also had the most shooting opportunities in the game.

In the 81st minute, Suarez passed the ball and Villa headed the ball above the crossbar.

In the 84th minute, Gabi lobbed the football into the penalty area. Diego Costa shook his head eight meters in front of the goal, but the ball was too high and was easily saved by goalkeeper Weidenfeller.

In the 87th minute, Arda Turan chose to take a long shot directly from outside the penalty area, and the football went wide again.

Facing Atletico Madrid's aggressive offensive, Dortmund made adjustments again.

Mark was replaced and replaced by Grosskreutz. He and Kyle formed a midfielder partnership to strengthen the defense in front of the back line.

At the same time, keeping Aubameyang is also convenient for counterattacks.

At this time, Zhou Yi did not let the football roll around in the backcourt, which would increase the risk of being intercepted by Atletico Madrid players. Now Dortmund passes the ball forward as long as they have the ball at their feet, trying to counterattack.

Yan Min, Royce and Aubameyang, three players with speed, skills and strong individual combat capabilities, have become Dortmund's entire hope for counterattack.

However, Klopp has no requirements on whether these three people can score goals, as long as their counterattack can delay the time.

It would be nice if Atletico Madrid could be cautious during its crazy counterattack.

This tactic was successful.

In the 89th minute, Yan Min almost created a scoring opportunity in a counterattack.

At that time, he relied on his speed to break through on the right wing and drove resolutely towards Atletico Madrid's goal. After attracting Courtois, he decisively chose to pass the ball instead of shooting himself.

If Aubameyang hadn't been a little slower following up from the center... the goal might have been scored.

Aubameyang threw all his weight away, trying to shovel the football into the goal, but he was just a little short...

He had a brush with football.

Aubameyang——!! Ahhh——! Marcel Leif shouted in disappointment. It's a little worse! Aubameyang can't even keep up with Yan Min's speed... This is really surprising...

There was also a huge sigh above the Westfield Stadium.

Aubameyang looked incredulous - he didn't believe he was the slow one...

Yan Min was also disappointed, but at least he didn't complain about his teammates. He just slapped his hands hard, looking very annoyed.

Although Dortmund did not score a goal in this counterattack, it really scared Atletico Madrid.

After that, when the game continued, Atletico Madrid's offensive obviously restrained.

The game has now entered injury time, with three minutes of injury time.

It's not that Atletico Madrid doesn't want to score goals, but they are worried that they missed the ball and conceded another goal...

The storm suddenly stopped.

In this way, the last few minutes of the game were spent in this calm situation.

When the referee Eriksen blew the full-time whistle, the Dortmund players waiting on the sidelines opened their arms and rushed into the stadium cheering to celebrate the victory with their teammates.

And Klopp hasn't forgotten to shake hands with the opponent's head coach Simon Xin.

The two people didn't communicate at all. They just shook each other's hands and then turned around and separated.

The game is over! The game is over! Dortmund defeated Atletico Madrid 3:0 at home! Although all three goals were scored within the first fifteen minutes, judging from the scene, Dortmund almost had the advantage in the whole game. If it weren't for Ku Turtois's performance was too good, or if the goalpost helped, Dortmund should have scored more goals... Marcel Leif shouted excitedly.

3:0! Dortmund defeated Atletico Madrid at home. This score laid a very solid foundation for their second round game... He Ping was also very happy. Going to the away game with a 3:0 lead, Dortmund has more room for maneuver...

Everyone congratulated Dortmund on their victory, and when looking forward to the second round of the match between the two sides, they also believed that Dortmund had the upper hand.

In the history of the Champions League semi-finals, no team has ever been able to reverse the situation in the second round after losing 0:3 in the first round.

This historical record is very unfriendly to Atletico Madrid...

At the post-match press conference, Klopp told reporters with a wicked smile: I said we have a secret weapon, but you don't believe it... He spread his hands and looked very helpless.

A group of reporters complained in their hearts: Who knows your secret weapon has been used before!

I'm very happy that we were able to win with this score. I want to thank my players. They played everything we trained in the game. They played very well and that's why we were able to achieve such a victory. Of course, although we are 3:0 ahead, we cannot take it lightly. After all, there is still one round to play... Although Klopp was happy, he still did not lose his mind.

On the other side, Atletico Madrid coach Simeone first admitted that he was not well prepared for Dortmund's secret weapon when attending a press conference.

...Yes, we didn't expect it...To be honest, it was very difficult after the start. But I am still proud and happy for my team, we were not completely defeated!

Then he said firmly that it was not time to draw conclusions yet.

...We will not admit defeat. When we return to home, we will go all out and give our opponents a fatal blow. Atletico Madrid is a very combative team, and we will prove this to the world!

Simone said with a straight face.
