The God of Football Starts With Passive Skills

The ball flew straight into Real Madrid’s goal.

"GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!"

"Dortmund scores again!"

"Just before the end of the first half, Wang Shuo’s goal further extends Dortmund’s lead."

"2-0!"

"The aggregate score is now 5-3!"

"This is a truly terrible situation for Real Madrid."

"If they want to win, they’ll have to score three goals!"

...

The first half ultimately ended 2-0.

But after switching sides for the second half, Real Madrid launched a period of fast-paced attacks.

Dortmund, however, was well-prepared.

In the 49th minute, the home team, the Bumblebees, once again launched a fast counter-attack.

After receiving the ball outside Real Madrid’s 30-meter zone, Wang Shuo turned and sent a through ball.

Kuba made a diagonal run from the right wing into the right side of the penalty area.

The entire attacking play was almost identical to the first goal.

The difference was, this time, Kuba had no one to pass to.

Finding himself one-on-one with the keeper, the Polish winger unleashed a furious shot.

The shot ended up hitting the top of the crossbar and bouncing out for a goal kick.

A collective groan of disappointment swept through the entire Westfalen Stadium.

If that shot had gone in, the match would have been over.

Kuba himself was so frustrated that he dropped to his knees inside Real Madrid’s penalty area, pressing his forehead against the grass in utter dejection.

Despite the close call, Real Madrid remained defiant and continued to press their attack.

In the 61st minute, Dortmund seized another opportunity.

Schmelzer sent in a cross from the left. Inside the box, while competing for the header against Pepe, Wang Shuo used his superior positioning to win the ball, nodding it down from the near post to the center.

The onrushing Götze hit it with a side-footed shot.

But this time, Casillas made a spectacular diving save right on the goal line, parrying the ball away.

Mourinho brought on two players at once.

Adebayor replaced Benzema.

Mesut came on for Kaka.

Both were like-for-like substitutions.

After the substitutions, Real Madrid continued to intensify their attack.

They completely dominated Dortmund on the pitch.

Dortmund, on the other hand, struggled to hold on, only making their first substitution in the 70th minute.

Santana replaced Götze.

After the change, Santana moved to center-back, partnering with Subotic.

Hummels, in turn, moved further up the pitch to a defensive midfield position.

At this point, Dortmund’s formation shifted to a 4-3-3, with Hummels and Sven Bender forming a double pivot in defensive midfield.

Gundogan positioned himself slightly further forward, pulling the strings in the middle.

By now, it was clear to everyone that Klopp’s intention was to defend with everything they had.

Mourinho made his final substitution in the 75th minute.

Higuain replaced Harvey Alonso.

Mourinho was now burning his bridges and going for broke.

And this substitution led to a goal for Real Madrid in the 82nd minute.

Marcelo made an overlapping run on the left, received a pass from Mesut, broke into the left side of the box, and sent a cross in front of the goal.

Ronaldo leaped high at the near post, connecting with a header and smashing the ball into the goal guarded by Weidenfeller.

2-1!

After scoring, Ronaldo rushed toward Dortmund’s goal, trying to quickly snatch the ball from Weidenfeller’s feet.

However, Weidenfeller refused to give the ball to Ronaldo, and the two exchanged heated words.

Fortunately, other players quickly separated them, preventing a physical confrontation.

Having scored a goal, Real Madrid was like a shark that had smelled blood, launching a frenzied assault on Dortmund.

The entire Westfalen Stadium roared themselves hoarse, cheering on their team.

The Dortmund players also defended with every ounce of their strength.

In the final minutes of the match, even Ramos and Pepe took turns pushing forward to join the attack.

But in the end, it was all for naught.

When the referee blew the final whistle, the score was locked in at 2-1!

Thanks to goals from Wang Shuo and Reus, Dortmund won 2-1 at home, knocking out Real Madrid with an aggregate score of 5-4!

...

"BVB!"

"BVB!!"

The moment the match ended, all 66,000 Dortmund fans leaped from their seats, chanting their team’s slogan in unison.

The entire stadium erupted in unprecedented celebration!

"Let’s congratulate Dortmund!"

"Congratulations to Klopp and his young team!"

"Following Bayern Munich’s run to the Champions League final last year, this season Dortmund has once again reached the Champions League final!"

"The last time Bundesliga teams reached the Champions League final in two consecutive seasons was in ’01 and ’02, when Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen made it to the final one after the other."

"Bayern won the title, while Bayer Leverkusen finished as runners-up!"

"And the last time Dortmund reached the Champions League final was in the ’96/’97 season. At that time, under manager Heynckes, Dortmund defeated Juventus 3-1 at the Munich Olympic Stadium to win the Champions League title!"

"That was also Dortmund’s only time reaching the Champions League final, and they won it!"

"And this season, Dortmund’s opponent at London’s Wembley Stadium will be the winner of the match between Barça and Manchester United."

The players from the bench and the coaches all swarmed onto the pitch, celebrating with wild abandon.

For a team like Dortmund, just reaching the Champions League final is a victory in itself!

Wang Shuo and his teammates were on the field, cheering and celebrating passionately.

In contrast, Ronaldo and the Real Madrid players left the pitch dejectedly.

The Portuguese didn’t even say a word to Wang Shuo before leaving directly.
