The match entered stoppage time, and Real Madrid pushed forward, attacking frantically, trying to narrow the score or even equalize.
After all, Manchester United once achieved the feat of scoring two goals in stoppage time to complete a comeback and win the championship...
There's no reason Real Madrid can't do it!
In the 91st minute of the match.
Cristiano Ronaldo got another free-kick opportunity outside the box, and his shot hit the crossbar and bounced out, giving the Arsenal fans present a cold sweat.
In the 92nd minute of the match.
Kaka's shot, after a forward run into the box, was again bravely saved by Szczęsny.
In the final moments of the match, the last minute of stoppage time, Cristiano Ronaldo got an excellent half-chance, a mistake by Sagna was seized by the Portuguese.
But this time, Cristiano Ronaldo's shot inexplicably went wide of the goal, hitting the side netting.
The Real Madrid fans, who had been eagerly anticipating Cristiano Ronaldo's success, sighed in disappointment.
At this moment, many discerning Merengues couldn't help but inwardly blame Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Why... why couldn't he seize such a good opportunity?"
They completely ignored the two goals Cristiano Ronaldo had helped the team score earlier, only blaming him for his miss at the last moment...
The "Merengues" are indeed known as the most demanding fans in the world.
Cristiano Ronaldo himself waved his arms in dissatisfaction, feeling very self-reproachful for his missed one-on-one shot...
The moment the Main Referee blew the final whistle, Arsenal players cheered and rushed to the center of the field.
Their victory over the formidable Real Madrid at Bernabéu Stadium meant they were already halfway to reaching the Champions League Final.
The Arsenal fans who had traveled to Madrid also fully expressed their joy, singing their team song and celebrating this hard-won victory.
Some fans were moved to tears; although they had a premonition, when their team truly defeated the arrogant Real Madrid at Bernabéu, they couldn't help but shed tears of joy...
In contrast, Real Madrid fans were visibly disappointed, many chose to leave directly, unwilling to see Arsenal players celebrating in their home stadium, and even the few Real Madrid fans who remained looked dejected, unable to accept this cruel result.
In the VIP box, Taylor was excitedly teary-eyed, immensely proud of her man's excellent performance and ecstatic about his victory.
Taylor didn't care about Arsenal's wins or losses, but she cared about what her man cared about.
Her man cared deeply about the outcome of this match, so Taylor would also care out of "love for the house, love for the crow"...
She took out her phone, recorded this unforgettable moment, and prepared to share it with friends and fans immediately.
#Great victory, this man performed well, going home to reward him#
Below the text, she added a close-up shot of Fly scoring the third goal, then clicked publish.
Immediately, Taylor's Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram accounts received a flood of comments, likes, and shares.
The corresponding trending topics naturally topped the charts without dispute...
For the current pop queen, as long as she wanted to, she could easily top various trending lists.
Especially the trending topics in North America, it was practically effortless...
Seeing Taylor's elated expression, Selena couldn't help but pout and deliberately said sarcastically:
"Taylor, I really envy your relationship with Fly... I wonder when I'll find true love too."
Taylor raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, her foxy eyes staring at Selena for a few seconds, making Selena feel a bit embarrassed, before she slowly said:
"Sister, if I'm not mistaken, the Los Angeles media seems to have photographed you and Justin Bieber on a private date. You wouldn't be hiding it from me, would you?"
Hearing this, Selena stammered, her eyes darting around, until Taylor's gaze made her scalp tingle, and she finally gave in.
"Taylor, Justin Bieber and I are in contact... but the relationship isn't confirmed yet, it's just an intention."
After getting a positive answer, Taylor nodded and said no more.
Her mind was now filled with what Fly had told her.
"Justin Bieber was topped by Diddy..."
Every time she thought of this, Taylor couldn't help but get goosebumps.
She wanted to warn Selena, but looking at the silly girl's face, Taylor knew her best friend was already deeply involved...
"Forget it... I'll just keep a closer eye on it. It's impossible to reason with a girl in love."
For the sake of her friendship with Selena, Taylor decided not to be the bad guy.
Just then, a knock came from outside their box.
After her assistant inquired, Taylor learned that the visitor was Florentino Pérez, the current president of Real Madrid.
"Miss Taylor, I apologize for the intrusion, but I heard you were here at Bernabéu to watch the match, so I thought I'd come say hello."
Facing this well-known Spanish old man in the football world, Taylor, though unfamiliar with him, politely replied:
"Mr. Florentino Pérez, you're too kind... I'm just here to watch Hani play, there's no bother at all."
Florentino Pérez nodded and then said:
"In any case, welcome to Bernabéu, and I'm also very pleased to be one of the venues for your upcoming concert."
Hearing this, Taylor suddenly realized that she was indeed going to hold a concert here sometime later.
To be honest, if Florentino Pérez hadn't brought it up, she wouldn't have known...
After all, Taylor's upcoming world tour includes over a hundred shows, so how would she know the specific venues?
These were all tasks for her management team, unrelated to her...
Florentino Pérez then extended his regards to Fly's Father and Annie.
As he was leaving, Florentino Pérez added:
"By the way... I hope Miss Taylor can convey my admiration to Mr. Fly. In my opinion, he is the best football player in the world."
"Although I know it's unlikely... but if one day Mr. Fly no longer wishes to stay at Arsenal, Real Madrid's doors will always be open for him."
Hearing this, Taylor nodded and politely replied:
"Okay, I understand... Thank you, Mr. Florentino Pérez, for your high regard for Hani."
After Florentino Pérez left, Taylor's expression immediately returned to normal.
"Taylor, that old man is the president of Real Madrid?"
Emma Stone, like Taylor, was a native-born American girl who knew nothing about English football.
If it weren't for Fly, she wouldn't even be at a football stadium.
Hearing her best friend's words, Taylor shrugged and said:
"Yes... yes, not just you, I just found out about this too. You know I'm not interested in football. If it weren't for Hani, I wouldn't bother spending two hours watching a boring game where 22 people chase one ball."
"But you seemed quite engrossed just now..."
Hearing Selena's teasing, Taylor rolled her eyes and retorted impatiently:
"Was I watching football? No... I was watching Hani's handsome demeanor sweating on the field. Even if Hani was just strolling on the field, I'd still find it quite handsome..."
Selena and Emma Stone fell silent simultaneously upon hearing this...
Damn silly women, ruining our heart!
Fly, who was being interviewed as Man of the Match on the sidelines, didn't know about these things. He was currently being pestered by the Spanish Latina beauty in front of him.
"Fly, congratulations on your victory today. Do you have anything to say about your opponents in this match?"
Ignoring the reporter's flirtatious gestures, Fly stroked his chin and said directly:
"Well... the opponent is quite strong, of course, they are not our opponent."
"Although this round of the knockout stage is only halfway through, I am 80% confident of reaching the final."
Perhaps having anticipated this, the Latina beauty was not surprised, but instead asked the question of greatest public concern.
"How do you evaluate Cristiano Ronaldo? After playing against him and Lionel Messi, who do you think is stronger?"
To this question, which was a "death trap" in his previous life, Fly did not back down and stated directly:
"Lionel Messi scored 4 goals in the two legs we played against Barcelona, and Cristiano Ronaldo has scored two goals in the first leg so far. They are temporarily tied."
"Next, we'll see what kind of performance Cristiano Ronaldo can deliver when he comes to our home stadium."
"Of course, no matter who it is, they are not stronger than me, because I scored 6 goals in the two legs against Barcelona, and I scored a hat-trick at Bernabéu in this match."
"6 > 4, 3 > 2, a very simple math problem, indisputable..."
Afterwards, rejecting the Latina beauty's private invitation, Fly went straight back to the locker room to chat and joke with his teammates, having a great time.
Meanwhile, at the post-match press conference.
As the winner, Wenger wore a triumphant smile as he faced the dense crowd of reporters.
"We were very fortunate to leave Bernabéu unscathed, laying a good foundation for next week's clash at Emirates Stadium..."
"Undeniably, Real Madrid is a very strong team, but I believe we are stronger, and the score of this match proves that."
"And now we have an advantage: we have already secured the League title early."
"This will give us ample physical fitness and a healthy squad to face next week's second leg."
"What about our opponents, Real Madrid?"
"In the League, they are only three points behind Barcelona, still having hope of competing for the title."
"At the same time, in a few days, they will also be competing against Barcelona in the Copa del Rey Final."
"Undoubtedly... Real Madrid will need to invest considerable energy in the Copa del Rey Final before their clash with us next week, which is an advantage for us."
"Of course, in football, anything can happen. I will still say that the probability of Arsenal and Real Madrid reaching the Champions League Final is fifty-fifty. We must put in 120% effort to have a chance of reaching the Champions League Final."
At the other press conference, facing the difficult questions from numerous Spanish media reporters, José Mourinho displayed his'Special One' demeanor, stating bluntly:
"The match is not over yet... We still have ninety minutes to turn the game around. No one knows what will happen until the very last moment."
"Yes, we do need to prepare thoroughly for the Copa del Rey Final, but that doesn't mean we will neglect the Champions League."
"We still have the possibility of competing for three titles, and the probability is not small..."
"What about Arsenal? They have already lost the FA Cup, and it's no longer possible for them to achieve the theoretical 'treble'."
"This means that if we perform exceptionally well in the coming month, we could very well replace Arsenal as the most successful team in the European top 5 leagues this year."
"I have full confidence in this... and I believe our players do too."
"Long live Real Madrid!!!"
