Chapter 695 The Suspense Is Over! The Dust Has Settled!
🕑 Added 2025-04-26 11:42:00 +0000 UTCFacing double interceptions from Cesc Fàbregas and Marcos Alonso,
Douglas Costa chose to walk the ball forward.
Three times five divided by two—
Douglas Costa easily got past the interference from the two Chelsea players,
then glanced at the situation inside the penalty area.
He didn’t choose to pass.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
No one could understand what Douglas Costa was thinking.
You have to know—
Juventus had three forwards waiting inside Chelsea’s penalty area.
He could have delivered the ball straight in.
And most importantly—
there wasn’t much time left for Juventus.
They had to score as soon as possible.
The next second—
Douglas Costa dribbled straight toward the baseline.
At that moment,
no Chelsea defender came forward to pressure him.
So Douglas Costa decisively broke into Chelsea’s box.
After opening up some space,
he made a very decisive shot.
This was Douglas Costa’s tactic—
he hoped to rely on his personal ability to break through Chelsea’s heavy defense.
Judging by the result—
Douglas Costa succeeded.
His shot broke through the goal guarded by Courtois!
In the 88th minute of the match—
A miracle was born!
Juventus, playing away from home, had actually narrowed the score to 5–4.
Around Stamford Bridge,
the entire crowd of Chelsea fans fell into complete silence.
Although Juventus didn’t have much time left,
allowing them to score consecutive goals in the final moments
was enough to show that Chelsea’s defense was shaky.
If they were facing an even stronger team,
Chelsea might have been torn apart even worse.
After the restart,
Juventus’s morale was completely lifted.
They launched a furious assault on Chelsea’s goal.
At this point,
as one of the team’s star players,
Su Luo also dropped back to help defend.
The plot of this match felt eerily similar to the first leg.
In that first-round encounter,
Juventus had also nearly equalized in the dying moments.
But this time—
Juventus weren’t so lucky.
In the 90th minute—
Douglas Costa once again tried to rely on his personal ability
to break through down the wing and go for goal.
But this time,
he didn’t expect the defender in front of him to be Su Luo.
Su Luo, using his speed advantage,
forcefully stole the ball from Douglas Costa.
And then—
In the very next moment,
Su Luo charged forward with the ball toward the Juventus goal.
But before anything more could happen,
the referee blew the final whistle!
Without a doubt—
Chelsea, playing at home, had secured the victory!
Chelsea eliminated Juventus,
advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League!
And in their next match,
Chelsea would face the powerful Bayern Munich.
After the match,
all the Chelsea players were utterly exhausted.
The fixture schedule during this period had simply been too intense...
