Instead, in stoppage time, Southampton's backcourt clearance fell to Ronaldo. The Colombian dribbled the ball straight in, attracted enough attention and passed the ball to Luke Shaw, who was rushing up at high speed. Luke?
Xiao kicked a pass and the ball drew an arc in the air and flew to the head of Suarez who was running forward from the back.
Suarez takes off. Although the angle from this position is very small, if he swings his head to attack the goal, the chance of scoring is still very high.
However, Suarez did not shoot, but flicked the ball to the center!
Vardy, who followed up in the middle, just followed up subconsciously, thinking to see if he had a chance to make a follow-up shot, but Suarez turned the ball over!
Not only did he not expect this, Casillas and Real Madrid's defenders also didn't expect it. They could only watch Vardy stop the ball and then kick the ball into the empty goal in the small penalty area!
"Suarez returned the favor and assisted Vardy! It's a pity. If Suarez scores this goal, it will be a hat-trick in the Champions League final! In the history of the Champions League, only Stefano, Puskas and Puskas
The three of Lati can accomplish such a feat! But the probability of scoring a goal is higher by crossing over! Making such a choice undoubtedly requires enough courage and calmness, as well as the mentality of putting the team's interests first!"
After scoring, Vardy ran towards Suarez and the two hugged each other tightly.
Five to three, this is the final score of this game.
In the last minute, Real Madrid's players basically gave up attacking. Under such circumstances, there is really no need to work harder...
When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, Southampton's players and coaches rushed onto the court and started celebrating wildly!
"Congratulations to Southampton, your performance was outstanding."
When Ancelotti shook hands with Noriya, he still maintained his warmth.
"Real Madrid's tenacity almost caused us to collapse... Our victory was thrilling." Ji Ya sighed.
Looking at Ji Ya's young face, Ancelotti sighed in his heart. When he won the Champions League, he was also called the Young Marshal. But in fact? He was born in 1959 and was born in May 2003.
When he won the Champions League, he was already forty-four years old...
But now, Ji Ya is only thirty years old.
The youngest head coach to win the Champions League before was Guardiola, who was 38 when he led Barcelona to win the title for the first time.
Ji Ya improved this record by eight years.
It is foreseeable that this is a record that will never be broken for a long time to come, or even never.
And for such a young head coach, what great achievements can he achieve in the rest of his coaching career?
Looking at Ji Ya's leaving figure, Ancelotti sighed.
This season was not a success for him. Real Madrid finished third in La Liga, only runner-up in the Champions League, and only won the Copa del Rey. This was obviously not enough.
I don’t know if Real Madrid will find a new head coach in the new season.
Southampton's players started celebrating wildly. They seemed to be in a dream at this time. At the beginning of this season, they never thought that they could win the Champions League.
The boldest idea at that time was to defend the Premier League title and then advance to the quarter-finals or semi-finals of the Champions League, which would already be a remarkable achievement.
And now, they have won the Premier League and Champions League double crown!
Is it going to be a Triple Crown next?
Thinking of this, they celebrated even more crazily.
After venting their emotions for a while, Southampton's players returned to the locker room to take a shower, and then put on their winning T-shirts that had been prepared long ago. During this period, a temporary podium began to be set up in the center of the stadium, preparing for the final
award ceremony.
After receiving the trophy from the current UEFA President Platini, Noriya and captain Wundt raised the championship trophy high!
The Southampton fans at the scene cheered at the same time. At the same time, countless Southamptonians in distant Southampton also began to cheer.
Not only the people in downtown Southampton, but also many fans in the surrounding area also started to shout loudly...
As Southampton has performed well in recent years, they have attracted a large number of fans from nearby areas. After all, there are no decent teams in some nearby areas, and the fans of their archrival Portsmouth are not particularly large.
After all, Southampton is the only professional team among the fifteen districts under Southampton's jurisdiction! It is not a big deal for fans in other districts to support Southampton in addition to their own teams.
This is also the key to Noriya's confidence in the subsequent stadium expansion.
There are only 220,000 people in the city of Southampton, but there are more than 900,000 people in the greater Southampton area!
And as a port city, routes to Southampton from other places are very convenient.
Generally speaking, Southampton is also very convenient to get to London. It is only more than 100 kilometers away. It takes two hours to drive there, so...
When the Southampton team landed at London Heathrow Airport carrying the Big Ear Cup, they were stunned to see the vehicles from Southampton, which were almost packed with the highway from the Airport Expressway to Southampton!
"Holy shit, this is illegal." Ji Ya couldn't help but say.
"It's okay. I've already applied. Today, this highway is only open to us." Benali said cheerfully.
Ji Ya blinked his eyes and wanted to say something, but he still held back.
Next, the Southampton bus was in the middle, and then drove for two hours back to Southampton with a welcome on the road.
Behind them was the mighty returning convoy.
After returning to Southampton, an even grander welcome ceremony awaited them.
Needless to say, there were countless banquets and indulgences in the next few days, and all the local council in Southampton showed up. The council members took the initiative to take photos with the players and rubbed off on their enthusiasm.
On behalf of the city government, the mayor awarded Southampton Club this year's highest medal of honor in recognition of Southampton Club's outstanding contribution to the city's image.
These things come at no cost, but are still important.
At least after having a relatively good relationship with the city government, it will be much easier for Southampton to make any moves.
But this is normal. For a small club like Southampton, being able to win the Champions League is comparable to Nottingham Forest's feat of defending the Champions League!
You must know that although even Villa won the Champions League at that time, Villa was still in Birmingham, the second largest city in the UK, and it was also an extremely experienced and established team!
Southampton's achievements are worthy of all praise!
