Chapter 446: The Sword of Judgment
This is not the first time that Rongguang has received applause from the opponent's fans after scoring the goal.
But for him, this time it was a bit different.
Five years ago, he helped the team defeat AC Milan, who was in the Champions League final in the Champions League and won the Champions League championship.
Now, he has scored two goals in his former club in a Manchester City jersey.
He is very clear about the significance and function of his two balls.
But he did not regret it because he was a Manchester City player and he wore a Manchester City jersey, so he had to consider the interests of Manchester City fans.
However, when all Bayern Munich fans stood up and applauded him, he was still a little touched.
He thought of the fact that after losing to Arsenal in the Champions League semi-finals in Bayern Munich and being eliminated, he returned to Munich with the team. At the airport in Munich, what he and the team received were not the scolding and booing of Bayern Munich fans, but the singing and encouragement.
To be honest, the scene at the airport really made him feel and excited.
At that time, he felt that he would stay in Bayern Munich for a long time, and might not play here until retirement, but he certainly would not only be three seasons.
But things are unpredictable. Who knows that he will now wear Manchester City jersey to break through Bayern Munich's goal?
The glory of the second-game score still did not celebrate the goal.
But his teammates were even more crazy than the last time, almost knocking him to the ground.
He was pushed and swayed left and right in the encirclement of crazy teammates, like a ship that was rising and falling in the storm of the sea.

Benitez also got up from the coach's seat and shouted.
With two goals leading, the stone in his heart can land.
With Manchester City's strength and form, it is almost impossible to be reversed if he leads two goals.
He can now begin to look forward to what he will look like after creating history.
Starting today, he will be the head coach who will break the record of no team able to defend the Champions League championship after the reform of the Champions League.
He will reach the peak of his coaching career!
Next door to him, Bayern Munich's head coach Van Gaal stood on the sidelines without any movement and had no expression on his face.
Van Gaal is very clear about what it means to Manchester City two goals behind...
Although the second half only started thirteen minutes, Manchester City had already scored two goals.
Looking at European football in recent years, no team has been able to turn the tables with Manchester City leading two goals.
For a team like Manchester City who plays defensive counterattacks, leading one ball is already giving them the upper hand. Leading two balls is equivalent to taking a double insurance, and losing is not easy.
Next, Bayern Munich can no longer deal with Manchester City patiently. They must push out the offense and strive to equalize the score for the remaining game time and drag the game into overtime.
But what will happen once they attack... Van Gaal could think of it with his knees.
But he has no choice now.
Only attack can be attacked, but also attacked.

After the game restarted, the TV broadcast some shots of Bayern Munich fans in the stands. In the camera, the Bayern Munich fans stood there, looking at the stadium with their hands wrapped around their chests, without raising their arms and shouting, and did not clap and cheer. They just kept a fixed posture.
There are also some Bayern Munich fans sitting in their positions, holding their heads in their hands, burying their heads, and not watching the game.
Although the second half only started thirteen minutes, judging from the performance of Bayern Munich fans, it seems that there are only three minutes left before the end of the game.
As Bayern Munich fans, they know Glory well, so they know very well what the result is to fall behind two goals when facing a team with Glory.
When Glory was in Werder Bremen, Bayern Munich had already suffered all the hardships in Glory.
Now it's changed to Manchester City, but the familiar formula is still the familiar taste...
The vast majority of Bayern Munich fans do not believe that their team can beat Manchester City, and it is impossible to even tie the score.
Only a few hardcore fans are still playing for Bayern Munich, but their cheers are weak. Now Allianz Stadium is the world of Manchester City fans.
This scene really made Bayern Munich fans even more depressed.

Bayern Munich strengthened the attack while trailing two goals, but Marcel Lef continued to criticize Van Gaal's on-site command: "It should have been done if one goal is conceded. It's too late to do so now! Manchester City led us two goals, they were calm and relaxed. In such a situation, it was almost impossible for us to get any decent opportunity. Even if we tried our best to finally score a goal, we were still one goal behind. Now we have made such adjustments without any use..."
Marcel Leif's words reflect many people's thoughts.
They also think it's too late for Van Gaal to let the team attack now, and it's obvious that this is a helpless dying struggle and will not really threaten Manchester City's goal.
Manchester City has encountered such a situation in a season. They already have a complete set of rich and complete experience to deal with their desperate opponents. The opponent's crazy counterattack will not cause any trouble to their defense line. On the contrary, they are very good at using their opponents' full potential and scoring more goals with quick counterattacks...
Sure enough, in the following game, Bayern Munich pushed forward with a big attack, while Manchester City defended and counterattacked, using counterattacks to threaten Bayern Munich's goal many times.
Bayern Munich fans were really worried about watching this period. While hoping that the team could score a goal as soon as possible, they were also worried about Manchester City's counterattack. Although they had not scored yet, they knew if they would score the goal in the next attack?
Bayern Munich fans have always been worried about this.
Of course, Bayern Munich's offense is not without threatening Manchester City's goal, but it is really insignificant compared to the threat that Manchester City has posed to them.
In short, everyone thinks that Manchester City should still score goals in such a game, but no one knows when the goal will be scored.
Just like the person on the roof took off one boot and woke the person downstairs, the people downstairs dared not fall asleep now, just waited for the second boot to fall down. As long as the second boot did not fall down, they had to keep going, and even if their eyes were red, they could not sleep.
It's like waiting for the sword of judgment.
※※※
In the 78th minute of the game, the judgment of fate finally came.
After Kaka got rid of a Bayern Munich defensive player outside the penalty area, he did not continue to break through inside. He just opened the space for shooting and then decisively shot!
Neuer made the best save he could. He soared into the air, swooped sideways, stretched his arms as long as possible, stretched his body very much in the air, and then the football hit his wrist!
He pounced on it!
However, the ball he was thrown away did not fly out of the bottom line, but bounced back directly.
Before everyone could react, a figure emerged from the crowd and stretched out his feet towards the flying football.
"Rong--!"
In the voice of John Motterson, the football flew into the goal from Neuer.
When Glory was shooting, Van Biden raised his arm reflexively, indicating Glory was offside. Because when Glory was shooting, there was indeed no Bayern Munich player beside him. He is the Manchester City player closest to the goal. If you only look at this scene, Glory was in an offside position.
But neither the referee nor the linebacker made any statement about this, especially the linebacker. He turned around and ran towards the center line. This was the standard action of the linebacker after scoring the goal.
He had just seen clearly that before Kaka shot, Glory was still behind Van Biten and was not offside at all.
While Neuer blocked the football, glory shot out like an arrow from the string. Then he shot the football into the goal before everyone could react!
hat trick!
"The ball has been scored -!! Rong! Hat trick! This is his eighteenth goal in the Champions League this season! At the same time, this is also his eighty-one goal in all games this season! Eighty-one goals in a single season! He set a record! This record is likely to be something Messi cannot surpass! ē
John Motson shouted excitedly.
As for the Champions League championship... there is no suspense anymore.
With twelve minutes left in the game, Manchester City led Bayern Munich three goals. How could Bayern Munich still have a chance?
Glory was not celebrated after the third time after the goal.
However, this ball itself is not exciting, and I don’t know how to celebrate it. As a historical goal, this ball is indeed a bit too dull compared to the first two goals, just a supplementary shot.
There has never been a few people in a row, nor is it a world wave that is forty meters away.
Such a goal seems out of place compared to its historical status, which is a bit worse.
But this is football, you will never know what the next goal will look like...
Glory did not celebrate, and his teammates rushed over and surrounded him for the third time.
This goal made them feel completely at ease, so what they celebrated this time was not a glorious goal, but a UEFA Champions League championship.
※※※
"The competition can be said to be over..." Marcel Lef sighed. Bayern Munich did not escape the glory after all.
If Manchester City has no glory, he believes Bayern Munich still has a chance to win the championship. But when Manchester City has glory, the situation will be different.
The Bayern Munich fans in the stands were all silent. Regardless of whether they were willing to accept such a reality or not, they must also accept it.
This was actually a destined result from when Heness sold Glory to Manchester City for 80 million pounds.
