"Unbelievable!!!"
"Even if you gave me 100 chances, I never would have imagined Liverpool pulling off an equalizer like this. And against the kings of the Champions League, no less!"
"Liverpool with a miraculous equalizer. Lin steps up once again!"
"We're heading into extra time. Real Madrid came so close!"
"They once had a two-goal lead, but Liverpool have wiped it out!"
"Three-three. We're level again!"
Liverpool's players celebrate like mad. For them, being dragged back from the edge of the cliff is an unforgettable feeling.
The fans chant Leo Lin's name tirelessly, over and over, their voices almost worshipful, like they're hailing their king.
"Leo!!!"
"Leo!!!"
"Leo!!!"
Cristiano Ronaldo's eyes, burning with fighting spirit, lock onto Leo Lin. This battle isn't over yet.
Play resumes, and the referee quickly blows for full time. Not a single extra second is added.
Turpin is nearly exhausted. To keep the match flowing and maintain a high standard, he has given everything, ensuring both teams have the space to perform.
And he has succeeded. Broadcasters everywhere are praising his officiating and his control of the tempo over the full 90 minutes.
Extra time is about to begin. Both teams rest on the sidelines, with no one heading back to the locker room.
Leo Lin has lost count of how many extra-time matches he has played this season.
High-intensity games have become routine for Liverpool. But if they want the ultimate prize, they have to give even more.
Two chief massage therapists work on Leo Lin from either side, easing the fatigue in his muscles.
Klopp stands among his players and begins to speak.
"I promise you this. When you are about to win the Champions League."
"You'll be on the bench praying for time to run out. On the pitch, you'll push your exhausted body to its limits and stay fully focused."
"All the fans' eyes will be on the field. On you."
"The nerves of hundreds of millions of fans will be tied to your every move."
"And when the final whistle blows. When you win the Champions League."
"That moment will be beautiful. Like a dream."
"And that is the magic of the Champions League."
"No more tactics." Klopp looks around at every player.
"No more tactics, lads. This is the final battle."
"Do you know what it takes to be a Champions League winner?"
"Love."
He meets each player's gaze.
"If right now, football is no longer about honor, pride, or money."
"If it is simply your love."
"Then congratulations. You are already champions."
"So, lads."
"No more tactics."
"Thirty minutes left."
"Go out there and play the football you love."
...
"Whistle!!!"
"Extra time is underway. The first half of extra time in this Champions League final has begun!"
"Real Madrid get us started."
"A long ball out to the right, looking for Ronaldo."
"Robertson steps in. Great defending! He clears it with a header before Ronaldo can get there!"
Time ticks away.
98th minute.
"Substitution. Milner comes on, Wijnaldum goes off."
"Liverpool looking to add more steel in midfield."
102nd minute.
"Three minutes left in the first half of extra time, and still no breakthrough."
"In extra time, the team that scores first almost always wins."
"Everyone knows what a goal at this stage means. It's like two boxers who've fought to the brink, entering the final ten seconds."
"If you take a heavy uppercut now, you go down, and getting back up is almost impossible."
As he speaks, Real Madrid's midfield shape suddenly shifts.
Modrić and Toni Kroos rotate positions, both dropping deeper in sync, pushing Casemiro forward. Real Madrid now set up with a double pivot.
Casemiro's sudden forward run catches Liverpool completely off guard. No one expected the deep-lying midfielder to drive forward like that.
He slips past Henderson and charges straight at the back line. Milner sprints back in pursuit.
Just as Milner is about to catch him, Casemiro lifts a delicate pass.
It arcs toward the right side of the penalty area.
Cristiano Ronaldo cannot bring it under control.
With his back to goal, he meets the dropping ball without letting it bounce and smashes a volley.
An incredibly difficult strike.
Mignolet dives at full stretch, but the ball flies straight into the top corner.
"Bang!!!"
The sound shatters every Liverpool fan's hope.
"Oh!!!"
"World-class goal!"
"A stunning volley!"
"Hat-trick!!!"
"Cristiano Ronaldo descends like a god!!!"
"Never forget. Real Madrid are kings of extra time!"
"Who still remembers the 92:48 miracle?"
"Ramos's header in extra time to equalize against Atlético Madrid. Then Real Madrid tore them apart in extra time to complete the comeback and win the Champions League. This team has that DNA!"
As a Real Madrid legend, Raúl naturally hopes his team can hold on. He has full confidence they can win this in extra time.
This goal is exactly what every Madrid fan needed.
The storm descends. Darkness closes in. Liverpool are pushed back into the abyss once again.
But this time, no fear shows on their faces.
Leo Lin sprints into the net, grabs the ball, and races back to the center circle.
"There's still time!" Henderson shouts.
"It's not over yet!" Leo Lin roars in response.
But the first half of extra time is almost gone. Moments later, the second half begins.
Time flies.
There are only 15 minutes left, and Real Madrid drop everyone behind the ball.
Asensio comes on for Benzema. Zidane has all but abandoned attacking.
112th minute.
"A cross comes in from the wing, but it's too deep and goes out of play. Robertson looks a bit anxious."
"Liverpool are running out of time!"
116th minute.
"Firmino drops deep to receive and lays it off for Leo Lin."
"Hits it!"
"Long-range effort!"
"Navas tips it over the bar!"
"A world-class save!"
"Real Madrid are holding firm!"
Corner kick for Liverpool. Leo Lin will take it himself.
He raises one hand high, eyes locked on Firmino lurking behind.
The ball is whipped into the center.
Mané and Henderson switch positions and leap together.
Varane and Ramos are drawn to them as Real Madrid stick with tight man marking.
At the critical moment, Firmino surges in from behind, slipping between Mané and Henderson.
He attacks the first ball.
The Brazilian striker rises high.
A powerful header.
"Swish!!!"
Derek Rae can hardly believe it.
"Oh my!"
"Real Madrid have lost their man!"
"It's in again!!!"
"Liverpool have equalized again!!!"
"With just five minutes left, they have dragged themselves back from the brink once more!!!"
"Absolutely incredible!!!"
"This final will be remembered forever in football history!"
