Chapter 1005
Aiello's direct free kick chose to go to the bottom of the wall. No one except himself thought of it, so when Valdez saw the football rolling towards the goal at high speed against the turf, it was too late to react.

But his excellent basic skills kept his eyes from leaving the football for even half a second, and he didn't look back until the football rubbed against the inner edge of the left goal post and rolled into the goal.

He knew that even if he made a save just now, he might not be able to save it successfully, because when he saw the football, he had already entered the penalty area, and the angle was quite tricky.

"The ball, the ball has been scored!" Huang Jianxiang shook his body and shouted fiercely: "Everyone thought that Aiello's free kick would go towards the top of the wall, so the wall jumped up with all his strength. He beat everyone's expectations. He hit a ground ball, so Barcelona goalkeeper Valdez knocked his head and didn't even think that the football would go under the wall! This is a typical case of playing football with his brain."

Andy Gray, the commentator of Sky TV, said first: "Ai's choice is really beyond all our expectations. The No.1 in the world is a worthy pass, and the goal is scored! He broke the goal guarded by Valdez with a free kick on the ground and helped Valencia equalize the score!"

"A wonderful direct free kick! This is Ai's No.19 goal in the UEFA Champions League this season. He leads Messi again and ranks first in the UEFA Champions League scorer list!"

"Hahaha... who would have thought of that? No one would have thought of it! So Ai scored!!"

Just as commentators from various countries in the live commentary were giving praise for Aiello's wonderful free kick, the cheers of the new Wembley Stadium also reached its peak, and the fans of Valencia and Chelsea shouted hoarsely.

It would not be an exaggeration to describe the erupting sound above the stadium as a roaring tsunami.

"Ai Ai Ai Ai—"

After the chanting, the fans shouted Ai Luo's surname in unison, expressing his contribution to everyone's vision and imagination.

Ai Luo, who scored the goal, was relatively calm. He just stood there and raised his arms, responding to the excited fans in the stands.

But his teammates were extremely excited. Mata and David Villa, who stood on the flanks, embraced excitedly. Other teammates in the penalty area and protecting the backcourt all ran over, patted or hugged, and shared this wonderful free kick.

Of course, the most important thing is to equalize the score.

A 1:1 score is much easier to play than a 0:1 score, at least on a psychological level, it is a return to balance.

Especially in the UEFA Champions League final, if the score continues, it will inevitably lead to the situation of being unable to attack and defend. Aiello's goal is completely a help when the team is in a difficult situation.

Those young players who have not won the Champions League are more obvious.

After the celebration, Captain Albelda smiled and kneaded Ai Luo's hair, then patted his shoulder vigorously, and said with a smile: "It's really you!"

Ai Luo shrugged, spread his hands and said, "I'm just here to keep my promise."

Hearing this, Albelda stopped subconsciously and looked at Ai Luo. He remembered everything Ai Luo said more than half a month ago...

After the slow-motion playback, the on-site director locked the camera on Barcelona coach Guardiola and star Messi.

From the expressions of the two, it is easy to see two words - depressed.

Indeed, both Guardiola and Messi were very depressed. Originally, the game developed as predicted before the game. It was an accident to score the first goal to take the lead, but it was also an accident to be scored by Aiello's direct free kick. In their thinking, they never thought that Aiello's direct free kick would go towards the ground.

After celebrating the goal, Ancelotti, who was standing in the command area of ​​the coach of the visiting team, called Cazorla to his side to teach him the opportunity.

The game restarted, and the commentators in the commentary still talked about Ai Luo's direct free kick just now.

After Messi kicked off in Barcelona, ​​he showed a strong desire to attack. He kept beckoning for the ball in front, but this also made him attract more defensive attention.

Albelda made the mistake of conceding the first goal. He played the important role of assisting in defending Messi in the next task. He used his rich defensive experience to limit Messi. In addition, Mata returned to the center and Cazorla's assisting defense when defending. It was difficult for Messi to get a chance in a small space.

Messi's consecutive breakthroughs were not successful, he did not continue, but handed the ball to the midfielder Harvey's feet, and he organized the attack.

Standing on the sidelines, Guardiola let out a sigh of relief. What he fears most is Messi's mindless breakthrough with the ball, seeking the same achievements as Aiello.

Fortunately, he chose to endure two consecutive attempts without success. This is definitely an improvement in Messi's golf quotient.

With the score equalized, the game scene returned to dullness and stalemate.

In the final, both sides were good at controlling the ball at their feet, which caused one side to control the ball while the other side defended with all its strength, which resulted in a serious lack of space for the offensive side, so they had to frequently use the width of the court to mobilize the defensive side's defensive attention.

But the two sides are deadly rivals in La Liga, and they know each other very well. As long as the opponent has the ball to attack, the defender will not attack easily, but will only stand in his own defensive position and use the advantage of numbers to defend.

In a blink of an eye, the game entered 10 minutes, and this time it was Barcelona who took the ball to attack.

Just like when the game was deadlocked, Barcelona continued to possess the ball for more than a minute and a half, but Valencia's defenders still stood in their defensive positions, allowing Barcelona to pass laterally back and forth.

After another half minute, Messi couldn't get the football from the forward line, so he had to retreat to the organization line to ask for the ball.

Harvey passed the ball to Messi without hesitation. He could not penetrate Valencia's defense after holding the ball for more than 2 minutes in a row. He could only rely on Messi's super personal ability to break through, which may have unexpected effects.

As soon as Messi got the ball, Mata took two steps back and moved towards Messi at the same time. Cazorla and Albelda waited for the opportunity.

Mata and Cazorla are both small and fast players. Even if they are not professional defensive players, Messi still dare not neglect. His left foot is almost glued to the football, keeping a safe distance between the football and the defensive player.

At the same time, his eyes were still on the left side of his attack, waiting for Abidal's advance.

Messi's retreat caused Iniesta and Pedro to follow suit, and Valencia's defense line pressed forward, resulting in a large gap between the back line and the goalkeeper.

Seeing this, Guardiola clenched his fists violently, he knew... this is an opportunity!
