Chương 744: Not Until the Last Moment
Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-1, with Wang Feng showing off his jersey at Camp Nou!
After the game, the entire Spanish and even European football world sighed with emotion for this thrilling match.
Although there were only three goals throughout the game, the dramatic reversal was something that ordinary league matches couldn't provide.
Numerous media outlets used the photo of Wang Feng showing his jersey to the stands in the last moment as their front-page headline.
"The Real Madrid number 10 jersey with the name of the Chinese superstar will become a nightmare for Camp Nou forever. Over the past decade, they have tried countless times to challenge and break through, but always ended up falling into the abyss," emotionally commented Spain's "National Newspaper".
"At the moment when Wang Feng is about to leave, the Catalans can no longer defeat him, can no longer face this jersey directly, they can only choose to worship him."
After the match, a reporter asked the Chinese superstar if he wanted to leave this jersey at Camp Nou forever. He smiled and said, "I don't think anyone at Barcelona would want it. Maybe they'd rather burn it, haha."
"Marca" couldn't stop praising Wang Feng's assist and goal, whether it was the decisive long pass or the calm goal in the last moment, each one highlighted his pivotal role.
In addition, the performance of other players on the Galactic Warship was also commendable. The midfield led by Modric, Kroos, and Casemiro has already shown their world-class level.
Their excellent performance at both ends of attack and defense, coupled with the tacit cooperation with the Chinese superstar, formed a powerful force capable of suppressing any team on the planet.
Catalan media generally expressed disappointment with the match result and pessimism about the future situation.
"Sport" believed that Wang Feng's jersey dealt a heavy blow to Barcelona's morale, and the club should pay attention to the psychological construction of the players in the future.
"From sadness to joy and then back to sadness, this fluctuation will leave an indelible shadow in everyone's heart. Although the team still leads by 2 points, it's not reliable at all."
"In the upcoming matches, Barcelona must win every single one!"
"Sport" reported that Barcelona lost at Camp Nou, and although the club wouldn't keep that jersey, everyone would remember it.
The less than 3-point difference seemed to foreshadow a reversal omen, which had been played out countless times in the past decade, like a curse.
"Perhaps only when Wang Feng leaves Real Madrid can we have a chance to overturn the situation."
After the El Clásico, despite being physically and mentally exhausted, the Galactic Warship had to take an early morning flight the next day to Bremen to participate in the first leg of the Champions League knockout stage.
Perhaps because Ancelotti didn't really regard this first-time quarter-finalist small team highly, coupled with the generally worrying form of the main players, he sent out a large number of rotations.
The result was two consecutive goals by the home team, completely stunning Real Madrid. In the 70th minute, the Italian coach substituted the Chinese superstar into the game, but he didn't have much effect in the limited time.
Real Madrid unexpectedly lost 0-2 to Werder Bremen, becoming the biggest upset in the series.
Coincidentally, Barcelona faced Atletico Madrid this round. Although they didn't rest all their main players like Real Madrid did, Messi, Iniesta, and others still sat on the bench.
They were also defeated 0-2 by the Rojiblancos.
"The aftermath of the El Clásico, the arrogance and fatal flaws of the La Liga giants." Many media outlets believed that an extraordinary match almost exhausted the minds of both teams.
Coupled with the arrogance from the giants, the lineup arrangements appeared very rough. If they all stop at this point, it would probably be the biggest loss for La Liga.
This situation even made the Spanish Football Association start to reflect on whether they arranged the El Clásico too casually. So in the future, when Real Madrid and Barcelona play, they will deliberately avoid clashes with Champions League matches.
The happiest person was Huang Hu. He never thought that Werder Bremen could defeat Real Madrid, and now there was hope of stepping into the semifinals.
"I'm really sorry, Brother Wang, I will work hard with the jersey you gave me!" After exchanging jerseys after the game, the young Chinese player confidently said.
Wang Feng jokingly scolded, "Then let me teach you again, don't be complacent until the last moment."
After a 4-0 victory over Elche, Real Madrid welcomed Werder Bremen at the Bernabéu.
From the moment the referee blew the whistle to start the game, the Galactic Warship, with all their main players, attacked the visiting team like a storm, shocking them.
Compared to the first leg, it was like facing two different teams!
In the 9th minute, Wang Feng received the ball on the wing, performed a beautiful wall pass with Modric, and then sent a diagonal pass into the penalty area.
Gonzalo Higuaín, who was already in position, quickly rushed forward, beating the defensive players to shoot with his right foot and pierced through Werder Bremen's goal, narrowing the gap for the Galactic Warship.
Seven minutes later, Casemiro intercepted the ball in midfield and pushed forward on his own, then passed to Modric, who sent a through ball to the feet of the Chinese superstar at the top of the arc.
Wang Feng turned around and flicked the ball between the legs of the defender, then dribbled into the penalty area again. Facing the goalkeeper, he used a feint to make the opponent fall to the ground before calmly shooting into the empty net.
In less than 20 minutes, Werder Bremen's proud lead turned into nothing.
Seizing the opportunity, in the 39th minute, the home team planned another attack to the frontcourt. Kroos lifted a forty-five-degree cross into the penalty area, and Higuaín leaped high to head the ball to Wang Feng at the far post.
With a flying kick, Wang Feng poked the ball into the visitors' goal, making it 3-0! Real Madrid completely overturned the score!
At halftime, this time Ancelotti didn't easily relax and make substitutions, but continued to stabilize and play steadily.
In the 67th minute, Bale forcefully broke through on the wing and crossed into the box. The ball hit the defender's hand, and the referee decisively awarded a penalty kick to the home team.
The Chinese superstar didn't waste this opportunity and personally took the penalty kick to secure the victory and complete a hat-trick.
As the game was about to end, Modric dribbled laterally and cut inside, then passed to Marcelo on the flank, who then knocked the ball into the middle. Higuaín, rushing in, shot fiercely, piercing through Werder Bremen's goal for the fifth time.
The final score was set at 5-0, with a total score of 5-2 over two legs, and Real Madrid eliminated their opponents to advance to the Champions League semi-finals.
Facing Wang Feng's smiling face that seemed to hide something, Huang Hu, who was already sweating profusely, couldn't help but feel extremely ashamed.
Wang Feng didn't say anything more, just patted the young player's back and encouraged him, "You've just set sail, there's a much broader world waiting for you to explore in the future."
This time, Barcelona didn't achieve a comeback like Real Madrid. They also fielded most of their main players, and although they won 2-1 against Atletico Madrid, they were still eliminated with a total score of 2-3.
Now, the Catalan team can only compete for the championships in the league and the Copa del Rey, and the league is in jeopardy, just like Enrique's precarious position.
In other matches, Bayern Munich narrowly defeated Benfica 3-2. The Portuguese powerhouse almost completed an upset at their home stadium, which made Guardiola break into a cold sweat.
Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, the two rich teams, had a strong confrontation, and the Sky Blues emerged victorious with the same score of 3-2.
Real Madrid's opponent in the semi-finals was Manchester City.
