Chapter 1124 - 269: The Most Sensational Brawl of the New Century (Part 3)

"You know, so far the teams eliminated by San Remo include Paris Saint-Germain as the Ligue 1 champions, while Arsenal and Florence are both strong contenders for their respective domestic league titles."

"Regardless of winning or losing, San Remo has shown championship-level competitiveness!"

Maniero nodded.

Their gaze then focused on the current match.

Bayern Munich and Chelsea players are entering the field.

Two minutes later, the match officially began.

The entire first half ended with a zero to zero.

Chelsea’s situation became dangerous, and they surprisingly did not rush to attack in the first half.

In the second half, Chelsea finally took the initiative.

Gutierrez set it up, and Redkrap’s long shot broke through Bayern’s goal.

The score was tied at two to two, with Bayern leading on away goals.

But soon, Bayern’s attacking midfielder Ludwig scored on a rebound after Melcan’s long shot was blocked by the wall.

The score was three to two, with Bayern in the lead!

In the 79th minute, Redkrap delivered a corner, and Chelsea’s iron guard Tessli headed the ball into the net.

The score was three to three, with both teams having two away goals.

Chelsea completely equalized the score!

However, in the 88th minute, a controversial scene occurred.

Bayern’s central defender Jerome Apple contested a corner in Chelsea’s penalty area and had physical contact with Tessli.

It was Apple who first placed his hands on Tessli, causing Tessli to fall.

During Tessli’s fall, his arm hit Apple’s face.

The main referee gave Tessli a yellow card and awarded Bayern a penalty kick!

At the Allianz Arena, it instantly erupted into a frenzy, everyone celebrating!

Zidane: "This penalty kick... is very controversial."

Maniero: "I don’t think there’s any controversy, this penalty shouldn’t have been given. Instead, Apple should have received a yellow card."

Zidane glanced at Maniero, thinking it’s easy for someone who doesn’t play football to speak so bluntly.

Who lets Zidane still play, he couldn’t speak as frankly as Maniero.

Chelsea was furious, but the main referee’s decision remained firm.

Chelsea’s resolute head coach Felish almost rushed into the field to assault the main referee, but was held back by the assistant coach.

Upon hearing this, the main referee immediately gave Felish a red card and sent him to the stands.

This was the only incident where a head coach was dismissed during a Champions League semi-final.

Ludwig, bearing the pressure, converted the penalty.

The score was four to three, with Bayern Munich in the lead, and only three minutes of injury time left.

Considering the dispute caused by that penalty, five minutes of stoppage time was actually quite reasonable.

The main referee of this match seemed somewhat biased.

But a miracle... happened!

In the third minute of injury time, Chelsea’s record signing Gutierrez proved his worth.

Receiving a pass on the right wing from a teammate, he decisively cut inside and fired a shot during his run, deceiving Apple and Bayern goalkeeper Bauer.

The ball entered the net.

Zidane: "Gutierrez! As expected of a Golden Ball level central forward, he’s too strong!"

Maniero: "Miracle! It’s a super comeback! The overall score is four to four, the current score is three to two, Chelsea have three away goals, outstripping Bayern with an advantage in goal difference, advancing to the final!"

Zidane: "It’s truly a magnificent match! In the final moments, with the head coach sent off to the stands, Gutierrez stepped up, becoming Chelsea’s super hero, he... what?"

At the same moment, Maniero was stupefied, exclaiming unbelievably: "No way... the main referee thinks Gutierrez was offside when receiving the ball and thus disallowed this goal?"

"But the linesman didn’t raise the flag?"

"Gutierrez received the ball right next to the linesman, the linesman’s judgment is definitely accurate, this ball shouldn’t be offside!"

Zidane: "This ball definitely wasn’t offside..."

That was said, but the replay of the goal never appeared.

The atmosphere in the live broadcast room instantly became strange.

Those in the know understood.

Chelsea... was "sanctioned".

One goal for life, one goal for death.

Chelsea, who had questioned the fairness of the Champions League draw before the match, received punishment from UEFA.

Eliminated in the Champions League semi-finals with regret!

After Bauer took the set piece, the main referee blew the final whistle.

A Champions League semi-final, anticlimactic, leaving Chelsea fans feeling aggrieved.

Yet, at Allianz Arena, it had already become a sea of celebration.

At this moment, Chelsea’s white-haired head coach Felish climbed over the stands and onto the field, angrily addressing the countless cameras in the media area: "This was not a match, it was a murder!"

"The main referee murdered Chelsea’s victory!"

"Jeffery murdered Chelsea’s Champions League trophy!"

"Disgraceful, this series, is football’s greatest disgrace!"

Saying this, Felish charged onto the field and aimed a flying kick at the main referee, who was trying to get away from Gutierrez and Redkrap.

Felish flying kicked the main referee!

Champions League headline, secured!

That kick was captured by countless cameras.

Becoming one of the most precious scenes in Champions League history.

You could say it was unprecedented and never to be repeated.

Bayern players quickly arrived to protect the main referee, regardless of whether they accepted this behavior or not, they always remained beneficiaries.

Chelsea players were already enraged, and seeing Bayern players pulling their head coach at this moment, how could they withstand it?

Chelsea, all forces mobilized!

The Blue Army waged a bloody battle in Munich!

A super battle was born, right in front of the world’s cameras.

Many regions immediately cut back to the studio, but in Italy... they even gave many close-ups of the players’ brawl.
