When Robert Lewandowski was facing away from the goal, ready to receive the ball, he didn't stop it either. Instead, he swept the ball horizontally to his left, and it rolled toward the left flank. Götze was sprinting forward!

After passing the ball, Lewandowski turned and dashed into the penalty area, raising his arm to signal Götze to pass him the ball.

Besides him, Kagawa Shinji also entered the penalty area, forming a second point of support behind Lewandowski, but he was cunning and didn't raise his hand to signal.

In fact, Zhou Yi was also following behind him.

Zhou Yi was also accelerating toward the penalty area.

In an instant, what was originally a fast counterattack turned into a three-pronged attack by Dortmund in Barcelona's penalty area!

After receiving the ball, Götze didn't stop it either. He swept it directly into the box.

The ball flew toward Barcelona's goal!

Lewandowski and Kagawa Shinji both rushed forward, but they overran it. Götze's pass was a bit behind.

Only Zhou Yi, while accelerating toward the goal, suddenly stopped abruptly, catching Barcelona's Busquets, who was marking him, off guard.

After the sudden stop, Zhou Yi retreated, while Busquets couldn't stop and continued to rush forward. One in front, one behind, the two of them widened the distance, and Zhou Yi was in an unmarked, open space.

After taking a step back and settling, Zhou Yi turned sideways and swung his left leg, lashing at the flying ball!

"Zhou Yi—!!" Marcel Reif roared, drawing out the sound.

The boos in the Camp Nou suddenly increased many times over, almost drowning out all other sounds.

In the eye of the storm, Zhou Yi was extremely calm, his eyes fixed on the flying ball. His left leg, like a whip, struck the ball without hesitation!

*Bang!*

The sound seemed like a heavy hammer, striking everyone's hearts. Although it wasn't loud, it momentarily stunned the noisy boos of the Camp Nou.

The ball was struck by Zhou Yi on its lower part, changing direction and flying toward the goal!

At that moment, breathing stopped.

Valdés saw the ball flying from behind the crowd. He leaped up and swung his hand to hit the ball.

But he didn't hit the ball. The ball was faster than his movements, and it crashed into the lower edge of the crossbar, then down, into the goal!

"Toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooor!!!"

Marcel Reif roared, drawing out the sound. He was incredibly excited because he knew what this goal meant.

"Goal! What a goal! So beautiful! A world-class goal!!" He Ping was also excited. "Dortmund has tied the score! 2:2! They have two away goals!! If this score holds until halftime, Dortmund will eliminate Barcelona with the advantage of away goals!!"

"With Dortmund down a man and trailing by a goal, who would dare to dream of this?" Marcel Reif took a breath after his long roar and continued without stopping. "I'm afraid even the most hardcore Dortmund fans wouldn't dare to think like this! Remember, they're facing the mighty Barcelona! The defending champions! But they did it! Zhou Yi! He initiated the attack and finished the final blow! It's simply perfect!"

※※※

Klopp, who had been sent to the stands, jumped up from his seat and raised his arms in cheers. Below him, the Dortmund bench and coaching staff rushed out in a swarm, roaring loudly on the sidelines, venting their emotions to the fullest.

Buvac looked back at the stands and saw Klopp frantically taking off his hat and waving it tightly in his hand.

So he smiled.

It felt so good to bet right, to bear all the risks and then reap the rewards!

This is truly an addictive profession...

※※※

After scoring, Zhou Yi pointed at Götze and ran toward him. Götze opened his arms to wait, and Zhou Yi leaped onto Götze, who wrapped his arms around him and held him tightly. Then Lewandowski and Kagawa Shinji rushed in, knocking both of them to the ground.

They roared in his ears.

More Dortmund players were rushing from the backfield, cheering, roaring, and opening their arms as if they were birds flying in the sky.

※※※

The Dortmund players celebrated the goal to their heart's content at the Camp Nou, while Barcelona was collectively dumbfounded—they never expected that Dortmund, who had been under their pressure all the time, would score!

The process of this goal was too fast, so fast that they hadn't even reacted, hadn't seen clearly how the goal was scored, and the ball was already in the net...

This gave them a sense of unreality—did we really concede a goal?

Some players looked up at the big screen, where an animated special effect had just finished playing and a new score was displayed—2:2.

They were really tied!

Tied by Dortmund, who were down a man!

This kind of thing was simply a fantasy before it happened!

Messi frowned, Xavi looked solemn, Piqué put his hands on his hips, Busquets looked dazed, Valdés sat on the ground... Almost every Barcelona player showed the same expression—confusion.

How did we concede this goal?

Even the Camp Nou was much quieter in cooperation with them.

It wasn't until the Dortmund players got up from the ground and walked toward their own half that the deafening boos rang out again from the stands.

In the boos, Zhou Yi once again raised his arm high, waving to the fans in the stands.

Hey, the Barcelona fans are really enthusiastic!

With his wave, the Barcelona fans in the stands booed even louder...

※※※

After Dortmund returned to their positions, the game continued.

Guardiola quickly made adjustments—facing such a score, he had no choice but to attack. Strive to use a powerful offense to tear apart Dortmund's defense and score another goal before the end of the game.

Now it was the seventy-sixth minute of the game, with at least fifteen minutes left.

Fifteen minutes, at their home ground, with Barcelona going all out, would it be difficult to score a goal?

※※※

Five minutes passed, and Guardiola found that scoring a goal was really not easy...

After scoring the goal, Dortmund did not directly retreat to their own thirty-meter area as people thought they would, and then hand over the ball possession, defending their goal to the death with a bus parking strategy.

Their defense was more active.

As long as the ball was at their feet, they would not easily give up possession. Instead, they would use continuous, non-stop fast passing to move Barcelona's players around. In the process, they would constantly look for loopholes in Barcelona's defense, use passing to launch some counterattacks, and threaten Barcelona's goal, so that they would not dare to recklessly press forward across the board.

In this defensive system, the core was not a certain defender, nor was it the goalkeeper, but Zhou Yi, who organized the attack. This was really unexpected to many people.

Zhou Yi's performance in this game really subverted many people's existing impressions of him.

Before, everyone thought that Zhou Yi was just a player who organized attacks. He was good at attacking and not good at defending. Even if he had to defend, he was just doing it for show. No one would really expect him to make any achievements in defense.

But in this game, Zhou Yi used his excellent positioning ability and understanding of Barcelona's football routines in the first half to successfully intercept many of Barcelona's attacks. In the second half, he used precise passing and command talent to lead the whole team to defend through passing.

This kind of defense was simply unheard of, because no team would have the courage to pass the ball in front of their own penalty area when facing Barcelona... But Dortmund did it, and the effect was very good.

If there was software to analyze the passing paths of the entire Barcelona team after the game, it would be found that most of the passes were directed to Zhou Yi. The data proved from another angle that Zhou Yi was the core of this team. This was ironclad proof that could not be judged by free will.

Faced with Dortmund's passing, Barcelona strengthened their pressing in the frontcourt, so Dortmund's passing was under great pressure.

Faced with the Barcelona players' defensive moves that were somewhat close to fouls, the Dortmund players were also a little panicked. After all, this was Barcelona's home ground, and it was hard to say what would really happen in the end.

So the mutual continuous passing became less and less. After only a few passes, the Dortmund players would often kick the ball forward with a long pass, so that possession returned to Barcelona's feet again.

Zhou Yi didn't have much of a good solution to this.

With less than ten minutes left in the game, it was already a melee between the two sides.

The referee's whistle sounded constantly, and the game was frequently interrupted.

Of course, most of the fouls were on Dortmund's side. Home advantage, you can understand.

And in order to hold on to this score, Dortmund naturally tried their best.

Gündoğan's foul drew huge boos from the Camp Nou, but the Dortmund players didn't care about the opposing fans' boos. As long as they could force a draw with Barcelona away from home, it was more important than anything.

After the foul, Gündoğan didn't even help Iniesta, who he had knocked down, to show friendship. Instead, he got up and turned away, leaving all the boos behind him.
