Casemiro was shocked, because he found that Rooney seemed to have consumed a lot throughout the second half and overtime, but in fact he had been secretly accumulating energy, and suddenly broke out at this moment.

Ramos was thrown away and Casemiro had no time to return to the defense.

"Be careful with Rooney!" Casemiro exclaimed, but there was no need for him to say more, Ramos had already reacted and rushed forward.

Ibrahimovic's header ferry is not strong, and the ball falls quickly. Rooney and Ramos chased towards the ball at the same time in different routes.

The reaction of Real Madrid's central defender is really fast, but no matter how fast it is, it can't be as fast as Rooney, who has a tacit understanding with Ibrahimovic. He took a step ahead, poked the ball forward lightly, and chased after him as fast as he could.

Ramos wanted to clear the siege, but he couldn't do two things. There was no way to hold Rooney again, otherwise, he would definitely choose to foul at this time. Because after entering the penalty area, Rooney will become even more terrifying!

Varane's reaction is not fast enough, and he has always been by Ramos' side. After realizing the danger, he immediately rushed to Rooney in defense and blocked Rooney on the left side of the penalty area.

But Rooney has long been mentally prepared, and it is not the first time he has dealt with Real Madrid. After catching up with the ball, he chose to stop the ball at the first hit.

Control the ball and he has the advantage.

Varane also stopped immediately, trying to block him. As long as Rooney is blocked, Ramos and Casemiro react, and Rooney is dead.

But Rooney is very clear about his thoughts. With more than fifteen years of experience in high-level professional games, he has long faced any difficult situation.

Rooney's choice was to smash the ball inside immediately after the emergency stop, trying to make an open space. His right foot is a threat whenever he is free.

………………

Although Varane is only 24 years old, he has played for Real Madrid for six years and has a lot of experience. The defensive experience accumulated over the years tells him that everything must be left room. So when he made an emergency stop, he also kept an eye on it.

Rooney's spike inside was just as he expected, so he immediately made a block, trying to block Rooney's shooting angle.

Ke Rooney's reaction is also extremely fast, and everything he does now is based on almost instinctive conditioned reflexes. As soon as he saw Varane move, he knew that his inside cut had no chance, so he dunked again with his right foot and dunked the ball back again.

In the narrow area on the left side of the penalty area, in the blink of an eye, Rooney made an emergency stop and changed direction twice in a row. Five years of hard work in professional football has been polished bit by bit. All movements are extremely concise, striving to be extremely simple, but at the same time very threatening.

His buckle was not very strong, because if it was too strong, the next direct left foot hit the goal would not be able to hit the goal with strength and angle. And Ramos and Casemiro are behind him, he only has one chance, once the dunk is returned, he must hit directly, and if he stops, he will have no chance.

In an instant, Rooney forced a gap from Varane's body.

Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas was blocked by Varane just now, and he was shocked when he saw it. He immediately judged the angle of Rooney's shot, and when he saw Rooney's spike came back, he hit his left foot directly. He flew towards the right side of the goal.

But to his disappointment, Rooney played very fast and urgent this time, heading directly to the upper right corner.

Navas completely missed it!

"GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAALLLL!!!!!!"

"The goal has been scored!!! In the second half of overtime, 108 minutes into the game, Manchester United made another victory, 4:3!"

"Rooney performed a hat-trick! He became the fourth player in the history of the Champions League to perform a hat-trick in the final. It is also the first player to perform a hat-trick in the Champions League final after 48 years!"

………………

In the 62-year history of the Champions League, only three people have performed a hat-trick in the Champions League final before, namely Real Madrid's Puskas and Di Stefano, and AC Milan's Prati (no Ni).

In the 1959-1960 season, this season was the last year of Real Madrid's five consecutive Champions League titles. Real Madrid played against Frankfurt from Germany in the final. At that time, Real Madrid was in the heyday of the team, playing invincible players all over the world. Frankfurt scored first in the final, but the unparalleled pair of Stefano and Puskas did not give the German a chance. Stefano scored 3 goals and Puskas scored 4 goals. The dominant performance helped Real Madrid create the myth of 5 consecutive Champions League titles.

The Flying Colonel scored not just one but two hat-tricks in the Champions League final, an achievement still unmatched. In addition to his big four against Eintracht Frankfurt in 1960, he also scored a hat-trick in the Champions League final two years later. In the 1961-1962 season, Real Madrid broke into the final again after a year, against the defending champion Benfica. At this time, Benfica had the Panther Eusebio in the team. open

In 23 minutes of the game, Puskas scored 2 goals to help Real Madrid take the lead, but Benfica equalized twice, and Puskas completed a hat-trick before the end of the first half. However, the second half of the game belonged to the Portuguese. Eusebio declared victory with 2 goals, and Puskas' hat-trick was of no avail.

AC Milan star Prati is the third player to perform a hat-trick in the Champions League final. In the second year after Manchester United reached the top of Europe for the first time, that is, in the 1968-1969 season, AC Milan and Ajax met in the Champions League final. At this time, Cruyff was in the Dutch team. . However, AC Milan in the final did not leave many opportunities for Ajax. Prati scored 2 goals in the first half and finally completed a hat-trick in the 75th minute, helping the Rossoneri win the Champions League for the second time. The time for Ajax to dominate Europe was also postponed until 1971, but they then completed the achievement of three consecutive Champions League titles.

In the 47 years after Prati performed a hat-trick, no one was able to perform a hat-trick in the Champions League final. Until the 48th year, Rooney finally became the fourth person in the history of the Champions League!

………………

After Rooney shot with his left foot, he knew he had the ball.

After stabilizing his figure, he saw the ball hit the upper right corner of the goal, and Navas made an empty shot. In an instant, he quickly turned around, avoiding Ramos and Casemiro who were flying towards him, and quickly ran towards the stands where the Manchester United fans were, even breaking free from Ibrahimovic's bear hug on the way.

Rooney rushed to the sidelines quickly, and with a long sliding knee, he dragged two obvious marks on the soft turf.

He was under the stands of Manchester United fans, raised his clenched hands high, and accepted the cheers from thousands of Manchester United fans in the stands.

hat trick!

He did what neither Chris nor Leo could!

He finally proved that he was stronger than them!

"Rooney's form tonight is really good! In the second half, he helped Manchester United score the first goal of the game, and after entering extra time, he even scored two goals to help Manchester United reverse. score."

"The whole goal was very beautiful. Ibrahimovic played a key role. His header ferry created a chance for Rooney to attack head-on. Rooney used his excellent personal ability to seize this opportunity. , This is definitely a flash of inspiration from a top superstar!"

"Real Madrid's defense went wrong, they conceded a goal in each half of extra time in almost the same way: both Martial's dribble and cross, both Ibrahimovic's headers The ferry was completed by Rooney with the final fatal blow! And the interval between the two goals was less than five minutes, and this included the short break between the first and second halves of overtime!"

………………

The Manchester United players headed by Ibrahimovic all rushed forward one after another, hugged Rooney on the sidelines, and directly hugged him down on the grass, and everyone rushed forward one after another.

They are all so excited!

In front of the coach of the home team, Ye Su also seemed extremely excited.

This timing, this goal, is too critical!

There are still ten minutes before the end of the game, but for Manchester United, with this goal, they can play more relaxed and at the same time completely grasp the initiative of the game.

Even if Real Madrid doesn't want to attack or press out to fight, it won't work!

Manchester United's offense during this period seemed to be very effective, but it was actually a tactical arrangement that Ye Su had made long ago. He has long been prepared for a protracted war, and even asked Rooney to pay attention to retaining his physical strength.

Coupled with Bruno Fernandez and Martial who came off the bench behind the midfield, this ensures the vitality of Manchester United's attack line.

However, at this time of the game, how many Real Madrid players can rush?

Zidane shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked back to the coaching bench of the home team, muttering to himself incessantly: "I knew it, I always knew it..."

Know what, he didn't say, but it's not hard to guess.

Conceding a goal at this critical node is definitely a painful blow to Real Madrid. More importantly, he has to take the initiative, because if he does not press out, Manchester United will completely run out of game time.

He has no choice!

But as long as he presses out, Manchester United will definitely defend and counterattack. Martial's speed, Ibrahimovic's high ball advantage, Rooney's running ability...these are quite terrible.

This is a dilemma and an even more difficult choice. Only by pressing out to attack can there be a chance to tie the score, but after pressing out, the danger of being hit back will be greater.

The current situation is completely different from the conceded goal shortly after the start of the second half, because at that time he had ample time to stabilize the situation, adjust and play slowly, but now there are only about ten minutes left.

He is out of time!
