Greatest Of All Legends-Chapter 657: Ticket to UCL Finals 2021 III

The ball curled in a wide arc from the left side of the pitch and flew towards the center of the penalty box, where the players of the two teams were waiting.

Timing his jump, Sergio Ramos leaped above everyone and caught the ball with his head, directing it toward the bottom right of the goal.

Buffon stood rooted to the spot because of the unexpected angle of the ball, but Mckennie who happened to be standing in the ball’s path, quickly reacted and jumped up to catch the ball just slightly on his head, deflecting it upwards and sending it flying against the crossbar instead of into the back of the net.

The ball bounced powerfully off the bar and back into play and Cuadrado was the lucky man who got his head to the ball next, heading it forward slightly and bringing it under control, his eyes darting across the field as he looked for who to send the ball to.

This was a clear counterattacking chance and he was not going to let the chance slip by without attempting anything.

Luckily, Kulusevski was already darting forward down the right flank, having caught the scent of a goal-scoring chance even earlier than Cuadrado.

Not one to disappoint, Cuadrado launched the ball up into Kulusevski’s path as he ran forward, but at this point, everyone was already moving.

The Madrid players, having recognised the danger, had already begun to race back towards their own goal, intending to stop the counter while the Uventus attackers were also hurling themselves forward, eating up the space as they raced to get into danger zones and support the attack.

Kulusevski had already caught hold of the ball and had begun battling with Isco and Marcelo as he tried to continue his run down the flank.

His strong physique allowed him to hold on, but he couldn’t escape those two players easily, however he was not alone and had managed to buy enough time for Ronaldo to catch up.

Chipping the ball over Marcelo, Kulusevski saw Ronaldo run down the flank swiftly, chasing after the ball and finally managing to catch the ball just before it rolled out for a throw-in.

With the ball back under control, Ronaldo began cutting in from the right, but Marcelo had recovered and was already hot on his heels.

As Ronaldo neared the right corner of the penalty box, Marcelo finally caught up, but at that moment, Ronaldo did his signature back chop, dodging the racing Marcelo who slid out of view.

With the backchop having set up the ball perfectly for the shot, Ronaldo was already moving to shoot the ball when he noticed Morata appearing from behind into the center of the penalty box.

Instantly calculating that his chances to score from his position with his weak foot weren’t too high, Ronaldo changed his mind and sent a pass into the path of the arriving Morata.

The ball rolled across the box, rolling behind Sergio Ramos who had jumped into Ronaldo’s shooting path, but just before it reached Morata, Chiesa appeared behind the ball, body angled, poised to shoot but while he was moving to hit the ball, he put his supporting foot down wrong.

With his shooting position wrong, Chiesa couldn’t hit the ball well and barely touched it with his instep, and instead hit it with his heel, and sending the ball dramatically wide of the goal.

{Atrocious touch! Another goal-scoring chance butchered by this same man!}

The groans of exasperation and disappointment from the Uventus fans this time had a few touches of annoyed curses at Chiesa who seemed to be out of his element today.

{He should have buried that! He has no excuse for hitting that ball like that. It was nowhere near the goal!} The commentator was also quite annoyed at seeing another goal-scoring chance wasted away.

Giving Chiesa the stink eye, Morata didn’t even bother trying to pull up Chiesa who had fallen to the ground after missing the ball.

Ronaldo was even more annoyed and it was taking all he could not to shout angrily.

Chiesa was in an even worse emotional state and was now anxious and panicking internally. He hadn’t meant to miss the goal, but no one cared for excuses like that at the professional level.

If the team lost the game today, he could not escape a huge part of the blame and he was also angry with himself for missing the goal.

Getting up, he dusted himself off, steeling himself to do better from that moment, but he could not completely wipe away the anxiety that was coursing through his mind.

#27th minute...

{Isco}

{He’s moving calmly between the opposition players, almost like he’s dancing, but they can’t stop him}

{Lays it off to Modric} The commentator was giving a play-by-play commentary when suddenly Modric hit the ball with the outside of his right foot, sending a trivela pass into the Uventus’s penalty box.

Asensio, keeping his eyes on the ball as it curled into his path, made a cutting run from the right, holding off Alex and managing to get to the ball just as it arrived in his path.

Jumping forward, Asensio caught the ball on his head and sent it at the Uventus goal, but Buffon was alert and jumped at the ball, blocking it, but the ball bounced towards the left, landing in the path of Jovic.

{Saved!}

Jovic immediately rushed at the ball and hit it, sending it at goal again, but Buffon was quick off his feet and appeared in the ball’s path again, catching it with the tip of his gloves and pushing the ball towards the left.

{Another fantastic save!}

Cheiellini and Bonucci had arrived to clear the ball but they couldn’t reach the ball and could only watch it fall into the path of Vinicus who quickly caught the ball with his leg, bringing it under control.

Pushed by the adrenaline coursing through his veins, Buffon had already jumped to his feet once again and rushed to cover the left side of his goal, but Vinicius seemed to have been waiting for that and tried to curl the ball around Buffon towards the right.

Once again, Buffon spread himself wide and this time, he managed to stretch his leg apart enough that he could block the ball.

Bouncing off his leg, the ball flew up and began coming back downward, about to drop into the goal.
