Chapter 1183 - 282: The Book Opens, But Not Fully (A 17,000-Word Mega - )

There is indeed a type of defense that exists in the world of soccer.

Bravely fighting.

Ball on the knife-edge.

It’s all about who is more ruthless.

If Lu Yang is not afraid of getting injured, then bring it on.

But Santos is certainly not going to hold back.

After all, he doesn’t face the risk of injury.

This is an unequal risk showdown; on the surface, Santos seems disadvantaged.

But on closer consideration, he’s actually at an advantage.

In Lu Yang’s mind, Lewandowski’s fourth goal cannot be replicated.

As soon as he raises his foot, his knee hits against Santos’s studs.

Whether it hurts or not is one thing; the incomplete shooting action makes the likelihood of a miss great.

Though Lewandowski’s fourth goal was difficult, it tested bodily coordination, entirely different from what Lu Yang is facing.

At the critical moment, Lu Yang recalls Lewandowski’s fifth goal.

Then skip the fourth one!

Boom!

Lu Yang jumped sideways from the same spot, lifting his foot from the side instead of straight up toward the goal.

Luckily, Canyes’s cross had a large curvature, so the ball curved towards Lu Yang from the right front.

Otherwise, if it came directly from the right, Lu Yang’s action wouldn’t have allowed for a shot.

Boom!

Lu Yang’s right foot touched the ball, executing a volley in mid-air.

The ball flew out instantly.

But at the same time, Santos’s foot hit Lu Yang’s abdomen.

Lu Yang curled up like a shrimp, falling from the air to the ground.

Thud.

Lu Yang and the ball almost landed and entered the net simultaneously.

The main referee signals the goal is valid!

The scoreboard changes.

Four to four!

In the third minute of overtime, San Remo scored quickly and in just 21 seconds broke Bayern Munich’s defense.

Lu Yang scored his fourth goal.

Champions League final with four goals!

Everyone stared at the big screen, showing the times of Lu Yang’s four goals.

"GOAL!"

"Equalizer! Lu Yang’s four-goal equalizer against Bayern!"

"The match is about to go into overtime!"

"And Lu Yang achieved this feat in just eight minutes!"

"No, this is not just a feat, it’s a miracle, it’s divine intervention!"

"This match has surpassed the Istanbul miracle two years ago, becoming one of the most representative games in Champions League history!"

"The process was tumultuous and the result shocked everyone."

"Bayern Munich seemed to have ended the game early, but they were careless for just eight minutes, and Lu Yang changed everything."

"Bayern’s coach is no longer complaining about the long stoppage time; he’s getting the substitute players warmed up and organizing the assistant coaches for the next tactics."

"This is very foresighted because in two minutes, we will enter the overtime period of this match."

"In contrast, Sotu seems a bit helpless."

"He’s calling for the team doctor; is this to check on Lu Yang’s condition?"

"Lu Yang was kicked in the abdomen by Santos as he completed his shot."

"No! Lu Yang shook his head towards Sotu while lying on the ground, indicating he doesn’t need the doctor or a stretcher, but his expression is extremely painful, he might need a moment to recover."

"Teammates came over trying to help Lu Yang up, but Lu Yang clutched his abdomen kneeling on the ground."

"He’s in tremendous discomfort."

"The main referee comes over asking if Lu Yang needs help; Lu Yang shakes his head. He gives Talista a look to fetch the ball from Bayern’s goal."

"Bauer isn’t concerned with Talista. Right now getting the ball is just a gesture; everyone knows the upcoming overtime is the real main event."

"Lu Yang in this condition doesn’t seem capable of lasting through another overtime."

"Oh, the main referee has shown Santos a yellow card! Santos pleads his case, expressing his lack of understanding, saying he was going for the ball."

"Indeed, Santos did go for the ball, but this was still a dangerous action. Even if Lu Yang’s shot hadn’t scored, Bayern likely would’ve been awarded a penalty."

"The main referee’s decision is quite fair."

The Champions League final is delayed without ending.

Everyone knows something special has occurred.

This indicates the match has exceeded expectations in excitement.

According to statistics, this match has over 400 million viewers!

While earlier this year, the Super Bowl had just 1.3 million viewers.

The Super Bowl has been one of the most commercially successful and widely followed sports.

But compared to this match, it’s far behind.

Countless media outlets release various headlines at this moment.

"Lu Yang’s Equalizer! Record-breaking Four Goals Leading Bayern into Overtime!"

"Istanbul Miracle 2.0! San Remo’s Winning Probability in a Penalty Shootout is Only 13%!"

"Istanbul’s Curse! If Bayern fails to resolve San Remo in overtime, they will lose in the penalty shootout!"

"Robbery Hat-trick, Lu Yang’s Four Goals, World Football’s Top Left Winger Battles the World’s Top Rookie!"

"Four Goals in Three Minutes! Eight Minutes Four Goals! He’s not a player, he’s an assassin!"

"Lu Yang is Injured? Lying on the Grass, Unmoving, Shirt Torn, Blood Stains on Abdomen!"

"Lu Yang Changes Shirt, Match Resumes with Less Than Two Minutes Left!"

"Overtime, Bayern Strong Advantage! San Remo Stops at Second Place, Though Defeated, Still Glorious!"

Various news fly across the scene, some factual, others speculative, not lacking confrontational instances.

But both "French Football" and German media concurrently select one image as their headline.
