"The hero… receives the ball with his back to the goal, outside the penalty area. Pepe is defending tightly, sticking to the hero to prevent him from easily entering the penalty area or turning around… What will the hero do?" Some commentators said, believing that Chen Hero's best option was to pass the ball to Cassano, who was making a run, or to Arshavin.

Russian commentator Yuri Petrov initially thought the same as his colleagues when he saw this scene: Chen Hero would use a wall pass to try and break into the penalty area.

But the next second, something suddenly occurred to him: "I think Pepe is in trouble…"

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Hero leaned back and bumped into Pepe, then stuck his butt out! After knocking Pepe away, he executed a beautiful转身抽射 (zhuanshen choushe - turning volley)!

He then burst out laughing: "Hahahaha! I think Russian viewers will be very familiar with this! Poor Pepe, he doesn't know his opponent well enough! A beautiful goal, Hero puts Napoli ahead away from home!"

※※※

Pepe covered his crotch with one hand and raised the other high, signaling to the referee that Chen Hero had fouled him first, and the goal should be disallowed!

But the referee ignored his appeal again and ruled the goal valid!

"Real Madrid are behind at home! This is terrible…"

"Beautiful! Beautiful! Beautiful goal!"

"Hero's turning volley! He has scored two away goals for the team!"

"Hero! Hero! Hero! Beautiful turning volley! He scored the first goal by a Chinese player at the Bernabéu! This is a heroic turning volley! He has maximized his physical advantages!"

"Unbelievable! At the Bernabéu, Napoli is leading Real Madrid 2-1! This must be a nightmare for Real Madrid fans! They must want to wake up soon!"

"Who would have thought of this before the game? Real Madrid has conceded two goals at home and is behind… Even if Real Madrid can win the game in the end, the two away goals are already reassuring for Napoli!"

Amidst the excited and impassioned roars of the commentators, Chen Hero, the goalscorer, ran towards the team's bench and coaching staff with his arms outstretched. Halfway there, Arshavin jumped on his back. Chen Hero staggered slightly but regained his balance and continued running with Arshavin on his back. With a group of elated teammates following behind, Chen Hero plunged into the joyful ocean in front of the bench.

"Great job, Hero—"

"Oh oh oh oh! That kick was too domineering!"

"I bet this goal will be unforgettable for Pepe for the rest of his life, hahaha!"

Everyone patted Chen Hero and cheered.

The Napoli players celebrated their second away goal on Real Madrid's territory.

And the Real Madrid players fell silent.

※※※

Pepe's protest, clutching his crotch, was unsuccessful, so he simply lay on the ground, indicating that he was seriously injured and needed the team doctor to come on.

Real Madrid's team doctor ran over and was treating Pepe's injury.

The other players looked at everything in front of them with confused expressions.

Looking at the chaotic situation, Pellegrini looked anxious but also felt deeply helpless—he was just the coach, and there was only so much he could do. Moreover, facing this Real Madrid team with its factions, where everyone was a big name and no one was willing to sacrifice, where this one couldn't be touched and that one couldn't be moved, he was truly exhausted and powerless.

He had no idea what he should do in the face of such a team…

The Napoli players celebrated their goal and lead in Real Madrid's home stadium. After a brief silence, there was finally some sound from the stands at the Bernabéu—they were booing!

No one knew whether the booing was directed at the leading Napoli or at the Real Madrid players, who were performing like a scattered mess…

※※※

Mazzarri's analysis of Real Madrid players' psychology was correct. Failing to reach the Champions League quarter-finals for five consecutive years had put enormous psychological pressure on everyone at Real Madrid. As soon as there was a slight setback in the game, it would tighten their nerves, and everyone would overreact, as if the sixth consecutive failure to reach the quarter-finals was just around the corner…

So when the game restarted, the Real Madrid players were very impatient.

Their impatience made them even less concerned about teamwork. After the stars in the frontcourt got the ball, they all wanted to take a shot themselves. Cristiano Ronaldo did this the most, even constantly waving to signal his teammates to pass him the ball. Once the ball was at his feet, no one else could expect him to pass it again. He fired shot after shot at De Sanctis' goal, but few of them actually threatened the Napoli goal.

Raúl worked hard on the field, but unfortunately, he was playing as a winger, too far from the players. His other teammates were no longer defending, but his sense of responsibility forced him to chase back time and time again, so he had even less energy to shoot and score.

So the Prince of the Bernabéu, who was once as light as an elf in the penalty area, was now reduced to a blue-collar worker "running around" on the field…

With ten minutes left in the game, Real Madrid still couldn't find a way to score, and Mazzarri began to substitute Arshavin and Cassano, starting to strengthen the defense.

Even if they conceded a goal in the last ten minutes of the game and the opponent equalized the score, he didn't care, because they had already got two away goals, which were more precious than gold.

After Arshavin and Cassano were substituted, the support Chen Hero received in attack declined sharply, but he didn't care anymore.

Because he had already scored, and it was the goal that helped the team take the lead.

He began to retreat frequently to participate in the defense, although he was still only at the stage of "defending with his eyes," after all, his ability in air control was still very strong. And… his departure relieved some of the pressure on Pepe.

Real Madrid besieged Napoli's penalty area in the final moments, wanting to score a goal.

But Real Madrid, lacking a midfielder and relying only on the individual ability of their stars, were helpless against Napoli's solid defense.

Pellegrini knew that Napoli was strong in attack and weak in defense, with sharp attacks and poor defense. But he forgot that the defense of a team from Italy, having been immersed in that environment for so long, couldn't be that bad, could it?

When an Italian team was determined to defend to the death, it was almost impossible for a disorganized team like Real Madrid to break through their goal.

So when the referee blew the whistle to end the game, all the commentators were roaring in disbelief.

"Miracle! Miracle! Napoli takes a victory away from the Bernabéu! They have completed an almost impossible task!"

"Oh… Oh! Oh oh oh!! Napoli defeats Real Madrid, the score is 2-1! Napoli is 2, Real Madrid is 1! Yes, you read that right! Napoli is 2!"

"Look at the disappointed and frustrated expressions of the Real Madrid players… Napoli has achieved a great victory away from home!"

Before the game, no one thought that Real Madrid would lose at home. Even the most optimistic Napoli supporters thought that getting a draw would be the best result.

Who would have thought that this Napoli team would really exceed everyone's expectations? They accomplished something at the Bernabéu that many teams had failed to do.

The Napoli players, who had won the game, ran wildly on the Bernabéu pitch to celebrate, as if they had already qualified for the quarter-finals.

"Real Madrid suffered an unexpected defeat at home, which has increased people's concerns about whether they can reach the quarter-finals. At the same time, the issue of Pellegrini's position will probably become a hot topic in the media after the game…"

"We actually lost to Napoli at home! Real Madrid, who were highly expected before the game and filled with superstars, lost to their opponents 1-2, and what made every Real Madrid fan feel chilled was that we didn't see any positive things in this game. This is what worries us the most. Can such a Real Madrid team really break the curse of the quarter-finals?"

The commentator of Marca Radio said weakly after the game.

Real Madrid played really badly tonight…

※※※

The Napoli players celebrated their victory on the enemy's home ground, which made many Real Madrid players dissatisfied—they didn't even understand the most basic etiquette. How could they celebrate so wildly in someone else's stadium? Wasn't this rubbing salt in our wounds?

What a bunch of hicks!

Cristiano Ronaldo walked quickly towards the players' tunnel with his head buried at the end of the game.

For him, it was a particularly failed night. He neither scored nor assisted, and he took no less than ten shots in the game, but none of them flew into the goal. He already knew what the media would say about him after the game…

What was worse was that they lost the game. That was the most fatal.

If they had won the game, everything would have been fine…

Thinking about his optimistic and relaxed mood before the game was ironic…

Forget it, let's leave quickly.

But he would never give up easily. Even if they lost the game at home, they still had the away game.

He clenched his fists as he walked off the field.

He vowed in his heart that he would reverse his fate in the away game and successfully lead the team into the quarter-finals!

Raúl González was old, and he had to seize every opportunity to become the team's new leader, and leading the team to break the "curse of the dream eight" was naturally a very important thing.

※※※

The Napoli players collectively rushed to the stands where the away fans were located—the Napoli fans were arranged in a corner at the top of the stadium stands, which was very far from the football field. It was almost impossible to see what was happening on the field clearly; you had to use binoculars to see it.

Keeping away fans away from the field is a consensus followed by the home stadium of any team, which can cut off the connection between the fans and the team, prevent them from cheering for their team, and prevent the away team from gaining strength from the fans.

But now this obstruction no longer exists.

Because the Real Madrid fans had begun to leave the stadium one after another, the Napoli fans could easily express their cheers.

The Napoli players ran hand in hand to the bottom of the stands, applauding, bowing, and waving to the Napoli fans at the top to thank them.

And the fans responded with huge cheers.

The background to this cheer was the booing of the Real Madrid fans.

But this time it was very clear that the object of their booing was not Napoli, who had won them at the Bernabéu, but the defeated home team, Real Madrid…
