The entire stadium erupted in applause.

It was for Di Maria's goal and for this exciting match.

Of course, it was only exciting for Real Madrid fans; Bayern Munich fans were almost collectively silent at this moment.

Although there was still the second half of the match, the situation was incredibly bad.

They also wanted someone to step up and bear the pressure, but they truly couldn't find a suitable candidate.

And even if they scored, what then?

If they couldn't stop Suker, they still wouldn't be able to win the match.

After the second goal, the match restarted, and Real Madrid proactively slowed down the tempo, no longer deliberately pursuing offense, but focusing on stable defense and time-wasting.

In contrast, Bayern Munich still wanted to score and equalize.

But at this point, their mentality was too anxious, causing them to become overly restless as a whole, and their coordination became difficult to execute.

Lahm didn't dare to push forward anymore!

Although this wasn't a goal scored by Suker, Suker attracted too much defensive attention.

If he hadn't pushed forward, the defense wouldn't have suddenly had such a large gap, leading to the goal.

Of course, Lahm had also considered this problem when pushing forward, but fortune favors the bold; they just couldn't make it happen, or rather, Real Madrid's reaction was too quick.

Soon, the first half ended.

Real Madrid led Bayern Munich 2-0 at halftime.

Both teams entered the locker rooms to plan their tactics for the second half.

Manchester, England.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Modrić were also watching this match.

"Bayern Munich's situation is very bad!"

Cristiano Ronaldo shook his head and said.

More than just bad, the moment the second goal appeared, the match situation developed in an extremely unfavorable direction.

"Real Madrid had studied and prepared for Lahm's forward runs, which can be seen from Alonso and Kaka's blocking actions. This was definitely something Mourinho had informed them of beforehand, otherwise, this situation wouldn't have occurred."

"And immediately launching a counterattack by exploiting the space created by Lahm's forward run is also a very effective tactic, but Real Madrid's ability to seize opportunities is also very strong!"

After Modrić finished speaking, Cristiano Ronaldo nodded:

"Bayern Munich is too wary of Suker. I feel that Bayern Munich hasn't been able to fully play to their strength. They don't usually play like this. Because they are too focused on Suker, they made many positional errors in defense, just like the second goal, Bayern Munich almost completely panicked, and the area around Di Maria was completely open. This was a gift of a shooting opportunity to Real Madrid."

Modrić shook his head; "There's nothing they can do! After all, Suker orchestrated Bayern Munich's two Champions League massacres four years ago!"

"They have 'Suker-phobia'?"

"Currently, it seems there's a possibility!"

After a pause, Modrić turned his head: "But this is good news for you. If Bayern Munich loses, you'll have more leverage in transfer negotiations!"

Modrić believed that Bayern Munich would not give up on the Champions League; they would only invest more in the transfer market, spurred on by this match.

The transfer concerning Cristiano Ronaldo would also develop in a positive direction.

Modrić believed that the current Bayern Munich also had some problems.

Franck Ribéry and Robben are indeed good at breaking through, but currently, their goal-scoring efficiency isn't outstanding enough.

Although Mandžukić's performance is very good, due to his characteristics, he is easily marked.

Just like the previously omnipotent Mandžukić, he seemed to suddenly lose his effectiveness when facing Real Madrid.

In this match, Mandžukić barely had any touches.

To put it bluntly, Bayern Munich lacks a key player who can help them score goals.

Therefore, Cristiano Ronaldo is indeed very suitable for this Bayern Munich!

"If you were on the field, what would you do?" Modrić asked.

Cristiano Ronaldo said without hesitation; "Prepare for headers!"

"Bayern Munich's two wings are very threatening; they can get to the byline and cross, but Mandžukić can't seize the opportunity!"

Modrić nodded slightly.

Mandžukić was indeed quite restricted in this match.

After a pause, Cristiano Ronaldo said: "And I think, when facing a team with Suker, you absolutely cannot defend excessively. Whether you commit 50% or 70% of your defensive strength, it's almost the same for Suker. Therefore, it's better to play an attacking-defending battle with Real Madrid."

Listening to Cristiano Ronaldo's words, Modrić grinned; "How many teams dare to play an attacking-defending battle with Real Madrid!"

Cristiano Ronaldo; "So that's the problem; I feel many teams have fallen into a misconception!"

"They are too wary of Suker, leading them to frantically pile up defensive strength, being strong in defense and weak in attack, but this defensive strength cannot pose a real threat to Suker, and they will even be dizzy from Real Madrid's swaying wings. So, when facing Suker, you just have to play normally, which can help relieve pressure on the defense, but not through defense, but through offense!"

Modrić stroked his chin and nodded: "That seems to make some sense!"

After speaking, he looked at Cristiano Ronaldo; "Do you think Bayern Munich still has a chance to win?"

"They're doomed!" Cristiano Ronaldo shook his head; "Gareth Bale is coming on in the second half. Real Madrid is going to play with both wingers. What will Bayern Munich use to stop them?"

Just as Cristiano Ronaldo said, the match on television quickly entered the second half.

In the 55th minute, Real Madrid made a substitution.

Di Maria came off, and Gareth Bale came on as a substitute.

This was a like-for-like substitution!

Seeing this like-for-like substitution, veteran coach Heynckes sighed helplessly.

Real Madrid gave them no breathing room at all.

In the remaining time, Bayern Munich would inevitably attack. Their attacking pressure was immense; if they didn't score, it would almost be a default loss.

Therefore, they could only attack!

And Real Madrid, while maintaining a solid defense, would constantly attack the defense using Suker and Gareth Bale on both wings.

Most importantly, Gareth Bale, having just come on as a substitute'

Suker, despite some energy consumption, was also approaching the 70-minute mark of the match.

No!

The 70-minute burst principle doesn't exist.

Suker was just waiting for Gareth Bale to come on, then they would counterattack together.

However, Bayern Munich had no choice; they could only push forward and attack now.

Only a goal could help them turn the tide!

"Push up! Push up!"

"Break through!"

"Pass it!"

Bayern Munich's players fought fiercely.

Their movements were also very aggressive.

However, facing Real Madrid's orderly defensive positioning, they couldn't find a suitable shooting opportunity.

The ball was passed to Robben's feet.

Robben continued to dribble, always ready to cut inside.

As soon as Pepe saw Robben with the ball, he also became alert, ready to help Marcelo block Robben's cut inside at any moment.

Sure enough, as he approached the penalty area, Robben suddenly made a horizontal flick.

"He's cutting inside!"

With his swift footwork, Marcelo couldn't keep up immediately.

But there was no need to worry too much, because Pepe had already moved into position to assist.

As Robben was about to take his third touch forward, Pepe had already rushed forward and immediately poked the ball away.

"Damn it!"

Robben irritably threw his arms out.

When he turned his head, the ball had already rolled to Alonso's feet.

Alonso took the ball and pushed it forward, Kaka received the ball and began to lean to the left, slipping the ball behind Lahm.

Suker and Lahm started almost simultaneously.

Both of them actively sought contact when they started.

Bang!

Shoulders collided heavily, pushing them in opposite directions, but Lahm's center of gravity shifted more. Suker adjusted in just two steps and swiftly sprinted towards the ball.

Lahm desperately tried to adjust his state, continuing the chase.

At this moment, Suker surprisingly had no intention of dribbling or shooting, but instead used his left foot to meet the ball and pass it directly to the center.

"Watch out!"

Lahm roared.

Boateng immediately rushed towards Benzema.

"No! Far post!" Boateng turned his head and saw Alaba holding his position, looking up at the ball.

Just then, Alaba felt a white blur flash past his eyes.

With a 'bang', the ball hit the net.

In the 67th minute, Real Madrid scored another goal, leading Bayern Munich by three goals!

"Gareth Bale!!! A magnificent header! He scored just 12 minutes after coming on as a substitute!"

"Real Madrid has scored their third goal. Now Bayern Munich's situation is getting even worse!"

Gareth Bale ran wildly in excitement.

Not being able to start, he felt a bit stifled, but he still scored, and everything was moving in a good direction.

Moreover, Suker's pass was just right.

Neither too high nor too low, it was perfectly in his path of advance.

That Bayern Munich full-back Alaba seemed a bit dazed, perhaps he was stunned by Real Madrid, completely failing to notice Gareth Bale's forward run, which made this goal so easy.

But no matter what, after this goal, the match was basically decided.

In the 2011/2012 season, Real Madrid led Bayern Munich 3:0.

And in terms of aggregate score, Real Madrid led even further, 6:2!

For Bayern Munich to turn the tide, they would have to score four goals in the remaining time.

How could they score that many!

In the 70th minute, Mourinho made his second substitution.

Suker came off, and Carvalho came on, further reinforcing the defense.

This meant Real Madrid was shifting from attack to defense, preparing to hold onto their lead.

For Bayern Munich, the current situation was practically a dead end.

"Suker is off, he still perfectly completed his task, in this match, Suker had one assist and one goal, becoming the best performing player."

González no longer knew how to praise Suker.

Perhaps if Suker's performance ever faltered, it would become a topic of discussion.

But for the current Suker, his excellent performance was no longer a major talking point.

In the camera, Suker walked off the field to a standing ovation.

He high-fived Carvalho before walking off the pitch.

"Well done!"

"Played brilliantly!"

Both Mourinho and Faria hugged Suker tightly.

Suker's performance in this match was once again impeccable.

Suker also smiled, then walked to the bench and sat down, stretching his legs and beginning to enjoy the match.

That's right, just enjoy it!

Bayern Munich had almost no chance of a comeback.

If Real Madrid were to concede four goals to Bayern Munich in this situation, they would truly be disgraced.

And indeed, after the tactical shift to defense, while the pressure on the defensive end increased significantly, they were still able to hold on.

In the 87th minute, Franck Ribéry combined with the substitute Muller to execute a beautiful penetrating run.

When Muller received Franck Ribéry's pass, he chose not to shoot, but to let it through.

Robben, at the far post, seized the opportunity and scored a consolation goal.

However, after this goal, the match entered injury time.

At this moment, the faces of the Bayern Munich players were filled with dejection.

They knew they were going to lose!

"Real Madrid!!!"

"Real Madrid!!!"

"Real Madrid!!!"

As the match was about to end, Real Madrid fans throughout the stadium were chanting the team's name.

For two consecutive seasons, Real Madrid had reached the Champions League and challenged for the title; at this moment, they finally felt vindicated.

Beep, beep, beep!

Three whistles blew, and the match ended.

In the 2011/2012 Champions League Semi-Final, over two legs, Real Madrid defeated Bayern Munich with an aggregate score of 6:3, securing their ticket to the Champions League!

At the Bernabéu, Bayern Munich fans were disheartened.

They put down their banners that read 'Finale dahoam' (Bavarian for 'Final at home'), looking completely crestfallen.

The venue for this Champions League was the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany.

This was also the reason why Bayern fans held up the 'Final at home' banner.

But they failed to overcome the formidable Real Madrid, they failed to successfully host the Champions League at their home ground.

There was anger, helplessness, but more than anything, bewilderment.

In this match, they were almost unilaterally dominated by Real Madrid.

Suker's performance made them feel even more helpless.

Perhaps they truly needed a superstar capable of rivaling Suker!

Mandžukić stood with his hands on his hips, his eyes slightly red, tilting his head back to prevent tears from falling.

A season of effort!

The Champions League was within reach, but they failed to win the match.

Mandžukić was very dissatisfied with his own performance; in this match, he was almost completely tied up by Real Madrid's defense, unable to display his usual shooting efficiency.

"It's over!"

Mandžukić tried hard to control his emotions, but his heart was filled with unwillingness.

He tried so hard!

He scored so desperately!

He just wanted to play in a Champions League and lift that damn trophy!

But everything was in vain.

"Mario! It's not your fault!"

Lahm walked over, gently embracing Mandžukić, and said softly, "We still have a chance next season, we're just getting started! Don't be affected by failure, and don't be defeated by failure!"

Lahm said earnestly, "We will get our revenge next year!"

"Really?" Mandžukić, with tears in his eyes, sniffled and said, "We haven't even caught Milan yet!"

Hearing this, Lahm was completely stunned!

This... how do I answer that!

"Watch your mouth!" Vukojević slapped the back of Mandžukić's head hard, then turned and grinned, "Captain, don't mind him, this guy speaks without thinking!"

Lahm nodded awkwardly, then turned and ran off to comfort others.

"Don't cry!" Vukojević sighed.

Mandžukić: "What? You can't cry when you're sad?"

"That's not what I meant!" Vukojević gestured with his chin towards behind him.

Mandžukić tilted his body slightly to look, and saw Suker holding his phone, looking eagerly at him.

"This bastard!"

Suker, not far away, was dying of anxiety watching Mandžukić on the verge of tears.

He was still waiting to take a picture!

Mandžukić ultimately did not cry, he held back to avoid entering Suker's 'ugly photo database'.

"You're getting more and more annoying!" Vukojević shook his head and sighed.

The old Suker, he could still limit him, but now, he simply couldn't keep up.

One-on-one, he could only be dribbled past.

His individual ability was simply terrifying!

"You guys also had chances, but you played too hastily!" Suker shrugged.

"No choice!" Vukojević shook his head: "We were already behind at that time, it was impossible not to be anxious!"

Suker nodded, he took off his jersey and handed it to Mandžukić.

"Want to swap?"

Mandžukić took it and tried to pull it back, but found he couldn't.

Suker looked at Mandžukić: "No need to hold back, cry!"

"Get lost! Bastard!"

Mandžukić ran off angrily, and Suker couldn't help but smile.

Vukojević, beside him, also couldn't help but laugh.

"Tell Mario not to blame himself too much, this match wasn't his fault." Suker said to Vukojević.

Vukojević nodded: "I'll talk to him!"

Suker looked at Vukojević: "You don't have to hold back either, cry if you want to!"

Vukojević: "..."

Post-match press conference.

Mourinho looked at the media below and said, "This was a simple match, Bayern Munich caused us a lot of threats, but obviously we were better prepared, so we took the victory!"

"Regarding our opponent in the Champions League, we are also conducting research; compared to when I left, Chelsea's style has also changed, so I need more information."

Mourinho spoke eloquently to the media, and he did not verbally provoke Chelsea.

If it were other teams, he might have done so, but Chelsea was different.

Although Mourinho had a falling out with Chelsea, it was with the management.

His relationship with Chelsea players, such as Drogba, Lampard, and Terry, was very good.

These players also respected him!

Therefore, he would not actively provoke these former disciples, let alone players who loved and respected him.

The Champions League Semi-Final had completely concluded.

Following Chelsea, Real Madrid secured their Champions League qualification.

One Premier League team!

One La Liga team!

The two teams officially met on the Champions League stage.

For Chelsea, they currently had no Champions League experience, so they yearned for this honor even more.

However, their opponent was also the team with the most Champions League titles in history!
