“Atlético Madrid gets a corner kick… Koke to take it… Aiming for the near post! The ball is headed out! Koke follows up with a cross… Huh?! Eh!? Goal!!!"

As the soccer ball plummeted into the goal, the Spanish commentator screamed.

But his screams were quickly drowned out by the deafening cheers of the Calderón.

However, this Spanish commentator, who was commentating live, was still tenaciously doing his job, shouting at the top of his lungs, "Four minutes into the game! Four minutes into the game! Only four minutes into the game! Koke pulls one back for Atlético Madrid! The aggregate score is now 1-3! Although still behind, they are only two goals behind! This is a remarkable improvement! Atlético Madrid has a perfect start! This is just like what Dortmund did to Atlético Madrid last week..."

When the ball fell into the goal, Koke himself was stunned for a moment. He tilted his head to look around, wanting to confirm.

It wasn't until he confirmed that the ball had indeed gone into the net that he spread his arms and cheered in celebration.

The other Atlético Madrid players also ran towards him in a swarm, celebrating the goal with him.

In front of the Atlético Madrid coaching bench, Simeone celebrated wildly, rushing onto the field and sliding on his knees. Simeone, sliding in his suit, fully demonstrated his two-sided nature.

Compared to the excited Atlético Madrid players and coaches, Dortmund was collectively dumbfounded—how did they concede a goal? This wasn't a very good opportunity, was it? This wasn't even a shot! This was a cross! How did it become a shot?!

Weidenfeller looked at the soccer ball in the goal after landing and knelt on the ground, spreading his hands.

Center-back Hummels held his head in his hands, looking at the goal in disbelief.

Coach Klopp turned to his coaching staff and cursed a German national curse.

He had reminded his players to be careful and pay attention. But the team still conceded a goal.

Was this the players' fault for not being careful enough?

It seemed so, but it also seemed not so…

Even if the Dortmund players concentrated, what could they do against Koke's cross-shot?

This luck was really bad…

Marcel Reif also felt that Dortmund's luck was not good enough: "A goal appeared four minutes into the game, and it was an accidental goal… This is exactly the same as the previous match between the two sides, except that the conceding and scoring sides were completely reversed… Good luck has shifted to Atlético Madrid!"

In the previous match, Dortmund took the lead three minutes into the game. At that time, Aubameyang shot, but Juanfran blocked it, and the ball changed direction and refracted. Courtois completely misjudged the direction and was completely powerless against the ball.

At that time, Dortmund took the lead with such a lucky goal.

As a result, a week later, the tables were turned, and Atlético Madrid took the lead with Koke's cross-shot.

It's really the cycle of heavenly justice, retribution is inevitable…

※※※

Taking the lead in four minutes greatly boosted the morale of the Atlético Madrid players.

When the game restarted, they almost besieged Dortmund.

Although there were indeed many gaps behind them, allowing Dortmund to counterattack.

But Dortmund couldn't even pass the ball up.

Including Zhou Yi, almost every Dortmund player who got the ball was given "meticulous" care by the Atlético Madrid players.

Zhou Yi was even "felled" to the ground by the Atlético Madrid players like chopping down a tree.

However, the referee did not make any penalties for this. He did not call a foul on the Atlético Madrid players, believing that this was very normal physical contact.

If this were at Westfalenstadion, the fans would definitely express their dissatisfaction with the referee's decision with boos.

And at the Calderón Stadium, when Zhou Yi fell to the ground, there was indeed a huge boo, but the boo was not for the referee, but for Zhou Yi. Atlético Madrid fans believed that Zhou Yi was diving, with the purpose of delaying time and trying to get Atlético Madrid players booked with yellow cards.

However, slow-motion replays showed that Zhou Yi was indeed not diving. He was really brought down by Gabi using both his hands and feet.

What happened to Zhou Yi was just a microcosm. Atlético Madrid suppressed Dortmund in all aspects, using their physical advantage and fighting spirit.

And Dortmund was a little unprepared.

They were frightened by Atlético Madrid's frantic counterattack at home.

In addition, Sven Bender's absence from this game due to accumulated yellow cards also brought some hidden dangers to Dortmund's midfield defense. The protection around Zhou Yi was not as strong as before. Although the old captain Kehl, who replaced him, worked very hard, he was old after all, and he didn't play many games. His physical condition and state were not at the same level as Sven Bender.

He could not completely fill Sven Bender's gap.

In the fifteenth minute, Kehl fouled Adrián in front of the penalty area, giving Atlético Madrid a free kick in a very good position.

Koke's free kick was just a little higher than the crossbar, and it still scared the Dortmund supporters enough.

In the twenty-second minute, Juanfran crossed, and Adrián shot from the right side of the penalty area. As a result, it was saved by goalkeeper Weidenfeller. Dortmund defender Papastathopoulos quickly kicked the ball out of the sideline.

Filipe Luís came to throw the sideline ball.

The ball was thrown directly to Dortmund's small penalty area line by him.

Diego Costa raised his foot to stop the thrown ball, but he didn't stop it well at the first touch. The ball bounced up again, and it bounced a little high.

Hummels jumped up trying to head the ball out.

Who would have thought that Diego Costa's movement was faster than him, and he immediately stretched his foot to flick the ball, causing Hummels to miss.

Then Diego Costa adjusted his posture. With his back to the goal, he came up with a bicycle kick!

Amidst the cheers from the stands, Diego Costa kicked the ball, and the ball flew towards the far post of Dortmund's goal.

Weidenfeller made a save, but unfortunately the ball was too close and very sudden. Weidenfeller was still half a beat late.

Fortunately, Diego Costa's shot was not within the frame of the goal. The ball brushed the far post and flew out of the baseline!

The cheers turned into heavy sighs.

"Diego Costa—! Beautiful bicycle kick! But unfortunately it was a little off in the end… If this ball went in, it would be a heavy blow to Dortmund's morale!" The Spanish commentator shouted with regret.

"Dangerous! Diego Costa almost scored a worldie! Dortmund's defense is too lax. How could they give him two consecutive chances to adjust in the penalty area?" Marcel Reif criticized unceremoniously. "Dortmund in this game and Dortmund in the last game are completely two teams. It seems that the 3-0 in the first leg made them a little too relaxed..."

"Atlético Madrid, who are fighting with their backs to the wall, have exploded with super energy, and Dortmund is obviously not prepared for this. They are frightened. In addition, the referee's scale of penalty today is also slightly biased towards the home team Atlético Madrid. Of course, this is also normal, and it is not an excuse for the team's poor performance. If Dortmund continues to play like this, even if they are leading by three goals, they may still be eliminated in the end!" He Ping said anxiously.

Although Dortmund also had some counterattacks, the quality was not very high, and the players' condition was indeed not as good as last time. Some people even performed not excited enough, and failed to enter the game state and rhythm…

For example, Aubameyang originally had another good chance in the counterattack, but he chose the worst way to deal with it—shooting directly from outside the penalty area.

Unsurprisingly, this ball went way over the bar…

"Aubameyang's choice… There were not many opportunities to begin with, and he wasted it like this…"

Klopp on the sidelines was also very dissatisfied with Aubameyang's kick. He shouted and screamed, with a very scary facial expression.

※※※

In the thirty-first minute, Atlético Madrid launched an attack. Diego Costa pulled to the side of the penalty area to get the ball.

Dortmund center-back Papastathopoulos chose to fly-tackle Diego Costa, resulting in a foul.

Not only did it give Atlético Madrid a free kick, but he also received a yellow card.

"Papastathopoulos is too rash. This foul is completely unnecessary!" He Ping couldn't understand why Papa had to do this. "Now that he is a center-back, he has a yellow card. How will he play the next game? It will definitely be affected…"

Atlético Madrid's free kick was taken, and Arda Turan got a point in the penalty area and headed for the goal!

Fortunately, Weidenfeller chose the right position, leaped up, and dragged Turan's header out of the crossbar with one palm…

"Now Atlético Madrid's morale is high, and they are playing well no matter how they play. It feels like every attack of theirs can threaten Dortmund's goal..." He Ping said with emotion. "Dortmund is completely suppressed... It's very dangerous to play like this!"
