Chapter 4 Ten: Tribute to Danny Lord!
Messi, who was standing at the penalty spot, did not kick the football out immediately after the run-up, but paused a little, trying to shake Ter Stegen.Forcing the German goalkeeper to save first, because he has seen Ter Stegen's four saves before, all of which were predicted in the direction of the save. This is a goalkeeper who moves first.

But this time the situation made him a little embarrassed, because he didn't shake the other party himself.The German kid was standing motionless in front of the door, as if he knew he was making a fake move.

How can this be? !
"Ter Stegen!! Didn't fall for Messi's trick. It seems that Charlotte temporarily arranged him to play, which is targeted."

Messi didn't have much time to think, he just kicked the ball subconsciously.

Ter Stegen is like a cheetah that has always been well prepared. He rushed out when Messi just kicked the football out.In the end, he rushed in the direction of Messi's goal. The key point was that Messi's shot was not fast.

"Ter Stegen!!!!"

Ter Stegen miraculously saved Messi's penalty! !This is not only unbelievable for Messi and Barcelona players, but even Ter Stegen himself and his teammates are still a little unresponsive.In the end, the German goalkeeper froze for a moment before raising his hands high, trying to vent the pressure in his heart.

"He did it!!" Pogba even jumped directly on Aubameyang's back. When he missed a penalty kick, Ter Stegen said he would save another one for him, but he still I thought it was the German kid who comforted him on purpose, but I didn't expect that he really threw himself out.

Messi is obviously still a little unbelievable. He doesn't know why the opponent didn't make a prediction this time, and at the same time he even saved his own penalty.

Only Southampton's coaching staff and Ter Stegen himself understand what's going on, which shows that it is useful for Messi's data collection and big data analysis in advance.

Of course, this thing is not absolute, it can only provide a reference, in case Messi breaks his routine after making a free throw, or is in a bad mood and wants to change his posture, this data analysis is useless.

Bravo is in front of the goal and the pressure on him is very high right now.Because this is the last penalty shooter of the opponent, if he can save it, then Barcelona will still have a chance, and the penalty shootout between the two sides will enter the sixth round, but if he fails to save it, then this Champions League final It is completely over.

The last Saints player to stand on the penalty spot was De Bruyne, a Belgian attacking midfielder who had previously been loaned to the Saints and had conquered Saints fans as early as last season, so this season has officially come. The Saints also quickly replaced the handsome Colombian James Rodriguez who went to the Bernabeu.

Charlotte is very relieved of Ding Ding, because he is a very mature player with a big heart, and he will not make low-level mistakes in such a heavyweight match.At the same time, I experienced the suffering of not getting a chance at Chelsea last year, and then transferred to the Saints during the winter break but was loaned out to play in the Bundesliga. Finally, I went through the experience with the Belgian national team on the stage of the World Cup. It can be said that he is now very mature and stable.

De Bruyne observed Bravo for a while, then started a run-up and kicked the football directly without hesitation.The football flew towards the goal guarded by Bravo, and the Chilean goalkeeper also threw it out.He didn't choose to predict first, but waited for De Bruyne to kick the ball before choosing to throw it.

But the speed of the ball was so fast that he couldn't react in time, so before he could hold the football, the ball flew into the gate behind him.

"De Bruyne!!!!"

"FULL FULL TIME!! Southampton beat mighty Barcelona [-]-[-] on penalties!!!"

"Let's welcome the new European champions - Southampton!!!"

"Unbelievable Southampton!! They have completed the task that most giants have not completed. They have become the first team to successfully defend the European Champions Cup after the restructuring of the Champions League!!"

"The glory at this moment belongs to Southampton, the glory belongs to Ter Stegen and De Bruyne, and the glory also belongs to Charlotte!!!"

At this moment, Charlotte has already been surrounded by his own players. When De Bruyne scored the last ball, Ter Stegen flew towards Charlotte. He must thank his boss.Since transferring to the Saints, Charlotte has naturally seen his help.From being the absolute main goalkeeper at the beginning, to gaining more experience in European wars with the veteran Reina, until now on the top stage of club competitions, he saved Rakity in the highly anticipated penalty shootout The two key penalties of Qi and Messi successfully helped his team defend the Champions League. He has no reason not to thank Charlotte.

But Charlotte and the players did not celebrate wildly, but stood in a row.Charlotte took off her sportswear jacket, and inside was a white long-sleeved T-shirt, with a red note on the most prominent position on the chest: "Dedicated to Danny Rhodes, a saint most precious Loyal warrior!"

The players also took off their jerseys, and they were wearing a T-shirt that was exactly the same as Charlotte.It's just that the words above are different. Everyone wrote down what they wanted to say to Mr. Rhodes. Jack Stephens' T-shirt read: "I miss you, grandpa!"

"All Southampton players and coaching staff pay tribute to Danny Rhodes, a fan who died watching the Champions League final last year. The 85-year-old man was a loyal fan of the Saints throughout his life. Danny Lord's father has been a well-known Saints fan family in the area."

The camera quickly found a corner of the fan stand. As members of the Rhodes family, it is impossible for them not to come to the stadium to watch the Saints in such an important final.It's just that before the game, they declined the kindness of the stadium and the club to invite them to watch the game in the chairman's box, but chose the common billiard tickets in the Saints fan camp that Charlotte gave them.

Watching the game, chatting and even swearing with many fans and friends in the stands was the favorite of Danny Rhodes during his lifetime, so they chose to sit with all the Saints fans at this time.

With Charlotte and the players taking the lead, the Saints fans around stood up spontaneously at this moment, and took off their hats or scarves around their necks to show their respect to the Rhodes family.

"We have a faithful believer who followed in the footsteps of the Virgin Mary throughout his 85 years of life. He is the most faithful warrior of the saints. He dedicated his life to the saints. We will Remember him forever, Danny Lord! Hey, if we win the championship, we must ask the Holy Mother to tell you the good news in heaven."
