"That shouldn't be a penalty kick. Although Carvajal fell inside the penalty area, the foul occurred outside... It looks like it was right on the line... The referee is repeatedly reviewing the location of the foul. If Carvajal was deemed to be fouled on the line, it's going to be troublesome."

Gündoğan, with his hands on his knees, lowered his head and barely dared to breathe.

Manchester City had finally taken the lead at home, but because of his foul, a penalty kick was awarded. He would truly become the villain.

"Oh... Sure enough, the referee didn't point to the penalty spot. It's a free kick outside the penalty area."

Gündoğan breathed a sigh of relief as Manchester City quickly organized a wall.

Real Madrid's players didn't have much disagreement with the decision. Usually, for this kind of position, there's no need to look at VAR. It's highly unlikely a penalty kick would be awarded.

But this time, with Manchester City versus Real Madrid, the focus was intense. The referee didn't dare to make a decision easily in this position and would only finalize the result after repeated confirmation.

"This position is indeed very close to the goal, but it's really not the best free-kick spot for Real Madrid. The distance is too short, making it difficult to get over the wall and still maintain the angle."

"If it were two or three meters further away, the distance would be perfect."

"Kroos is taking it. This distance is a bit difficult for CR7. It requires a player with very soft and precise technique to take it."

CR7's powerful shots would almost certainly fly over the crossbar from this distance. Trying to lower the shot would likely result in it being blocked by the wall.

Bang!!

Kroos kicked the ball.

The players in the penalty area rushed towards the goal.

Kroos didn't shoot directly at the goal but sought a pass with his teammates.

But the ball was a bit close to the goalkeeper. Bravo rushed out directly, not daring to catch the ball easily, and punched the ball out of the penalty area with both fists, then quickly prepared for a second save.

At this moment, Zhao Gang, who had retreated to the edge of the penalty area, used his body to squeeze together with Modrić.

He didn't dare to head the ball but squeezed Modrić and directly lifted his leg, unloading the ball from the air.

Real Madrid's players pounced out of the penalty area, preparing to counter-attack. Modrić also kept interfering with Zhao Gang, preventing him from passing the ball smoothly.

Zhao Gang, with his back to Sterling, made a sweeping pass, and the ball appeared directly in front of Sterling as he ran forward.

"Great ball!" the commentator shouted. De Bruyne and Silva were blocked by Real Madrid players, making it difficult to pass.

Zhao Gang could either forcibly turn around and break through or cooperate with nearby teammates to get the ball out.

This kind of God's-eye view pass was not only pleasing to the eye but also amazing.

"Sterling hardly looked in Zhao Gang's direction, charging forward with his head down. This situation should happen often in training. Sterling really trusts Zhao Gang to pass it, and Zhao Gang also trusts Sterling, knowing he'll be where he should be. This level of understanding… Sterling really should start more often. It's a pity Manchester City's midfield is too crowded…"

After passing the ball, Zhao Gang turned his head forward.

Real Madrid's players didn't steal the ball and quickly fell back to defend.

Marcelo sprinted, chasing Sterling, squeezing his breakthrough space.

Casemiro and Kroos ran to their defensive positions, constantly observing Sterling's passing route.

Zhao Gang accelerated, crossing the halfway line.

Under Marcelo's desperate interference, coupled with Casemiro's well-timed defense, Sterling's speed decreased.

Sterling's impact was strong, but he didn't have the ability to break into the opponent's penalty area from his own half alone.

So, he kept observing his teammates' runs.

At this time, Zhao Gang had already rushed along the middle. Seeing Zhao Gang's figure, Sterling kicked the ball towards the middle before CR7 and Kroos double-teamed him.

"Sterling… Sterling's technique is indeed a bit lacking. This ball is overshot!"

Under the interference of Real Madrid's players, Sterling pushed the ball out, giving too much lead!

It was too close to Varane in the backfield. There was no way Zhao Gang could rush over and get the ball at this distance.

"Sterling had a good idea, but his technique was a bit rough."

After passing the ball, Sterling covered his head, somewhat embarrassed.

Zhao Gang didn't want to waste this counter-attack opportunity.

When Sterling passed the ball, with his passing level, he naturally saw that the ball was overshot at a glance.

Therefore, Zhao Gang instantly used all his strength to sprint!!

Varane, of course, also used all his strength, desperately rushing towards the ball. He didn't need to control the ball. He just needed to kick the ball away to disrupt this attack!

Zhao Gang not only needed to steal the ball from a greater distance, but he also needed to control his strength after stealing the ball, trying to keep the ball within his control!

Manchester City fans watched as the blue figure, like a ray of light, was further away from the ball but approached the ball at a faster speed.

He approached faster than Varane at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The two figures, without reservation, burst out their greatest potential to sprint.

Just looking at this picture would make the restless blood in the body boil, as if being there, as if burning with passion and running!

Swish, swish!

Varane watched the ball close at hand, gritting his teeth and kicking it.

Clang!

A painful expression appeared on Varane's face, just 0.2 seconds short!

Zhao Gang took the lead, kicking the ball sideways from his left side!

Zhao Gang, who slowed down after kicking the ball, accelerated again.

Swish!

Varane didn't have time to foul, and a foul at this location would almost certainly be a red card!

He didn't have the guts to foul.

Varane, who had rushed over, used his legs to turn around, accelerate, and desperately chase back.

"Zhao Gang's touch was a bit off!"

Zhao Gang, who had reached his highest speed, had no chance to control the ball while facing Varane, let alone kick the ball straight forward.

He could only nudge it sideways, getting past Varane.

At the same time, he could only chase the ball sideways, deviating from the center.

Varane had no chance to catch up with Zhao Gang and could only choose to quickly retreat along the middle. Zhao Gang's final attack route would definitely be to cut back to the center.

Zhao Gang, who caught up with the ball, touched the ball again, and the ball rolled towards the edge of the penalty area in the center.

Navas rushed out immediately, preparing to kick the ball out.

Instantly, Zhao Gang and Varane competed in speed again!

Varane retreated straight along the middle, while Zhao Gang deviated from the middle first. After catching up with the ball, he turned back and rushed towards the center of the penalty area.

This scene stunned the Manchester City fans in the stands.

This was too fast!

In the last game against Real Madrid, the commentator gave Zhao Gang a new nickname, Black Lightning.

It was because he used his speed to get rid of Casemiro and Ramos all the way.

Today, his speed was even faster!

Running a zigzag!

Varane, who turned around, couldn't block his position along the straight line in the middle!

Varane felt that his legs were not his own, and there was a violent burning sensation in his chest. Seeing that Zhao Gang would reach the ball faster than him, Varane could only change his route and rush directly towards Zhao Gang.

Swish!

Varane pounced directly into the air. He could only watch Zhao Gang take the lead, forming a one-on-one.

Varane, seeking physical contact, didn't hit Zhao Gang, lost his balance, and fell to the ground, rolling once before stopping.

Zhao Gang, who stepped into the penalty area, controlled the ball.

Ramos, Casemiro, and even Bale were rushing back desperately.

"Navas is out!

Zhao Gang!!

Zhao Gang!!

He dribbled past! Dribbled past!

One-on-one, empty net!

He will never waste this opportunity!

Goal!

Goal!

The 12th goal!

12th goal in the Champions League group stage!!!

Broke CR7's Champions League group stage goal record!!

In the Champions League showdown with CR7, he broke the record set by CR7!!"

Etihad Stadium erupted like boiling water!

They couldn't believe that Zhao Gang, who sprinted all the way from the halfway line, could take the lead in stealing the ball, run a zigzag, and still grab the ball again before Varane!

At this high speed, he could still face Varane and dribble past him!

After shooting, Zhao Gang finally stopped trying to control his body and steps, and fell to the lawn with a thud, sliding two or three meters away.

Casemiro and Bale, who finally rushed into the penalty area, hung their heads, kicked the lawn, and their faces were full of helplessness.

Manchester City's players rushed to Zhao Gang's side.

Zhao Gang gasped for breath. This wave of extreme sprints would exhaust even a professional Bolt, let alone him?

Guardiola had just finished celebrating and looked at Zhao Gang falling on the ground, his heart tightened. Was he injured?

At this speed, and then forcibly dribbling past someone, was his muscle strained?

The crazy fans watched Zhao Gang lying there on the big screen, his teammates all running over, and suddenly became quiet, staring intently.

No way?

Don't get injured because of a goal!

Silva reached out and pulled Zhao Gang up from the ground, hugging Zhao Gang's head with excitement.

Guardiola breathed a sigh of relief, clenched his fists, and continued to celebrate.

An even more turbulent wave of sound erupted in the stands.

The wave of sound didn't weaken at all but suddenly surged again.

Zhao Gang raised his hand, responding to the fans.

"My God!" Henry looked at the values given on the broadcast screen. This was the reason why the Etihad fans were crazy again.

"The highest sprinting speed, 23.2 miles per hour, surpassing Bale's highest speed on the field, 22.9 miles per hour. An unimaginable existence. If only from a competitive level, I might only be stronger than him in heading." Henry looked at the number, deeply moved.

Although it only increased by 0.3 miles, it was definitely not a seemingly simple number.

It's nothing to increase from 1 mile per hour to 20 miles per hour, but when it reaches the limit, even Bolt will hardly improve.

"Look at the way he runs, I'm really worried that he will directly break away from the earth's gravity and fly away, becoming the earth's satellite, you know? Too scary!" James exclaimed repeatedly.

The commentator looked at the data given by the director, took a deep breath, and felt that his palms were sweating.

"Zhao Gang, this goal not only broke CR7's Champions League group stage goal record but also broke Bale's fastest sprinting speed.

37.3 kilometers per hour!

What's even more memorable is that both seniors are on the field!

I wonder if Bale, seeing Zhao Gang's figure now, will recall himself at his peak a few years ago?

Will CR7 be inspired to fight harder and score more Champions League goals??"

"It's really blue lightning. Zhao Gang, sprinting and running on the field, almost took away Real Madrid's hope and brought Manchester City's glory. Real Madrid is now in danger.

In the last game, Real Madrid led 2:0 and were tied. Now Real Madrid is 0:2 behind. Who will stand up in Real Madrid's lineup??"

"In the last game, Zhao Gang staged a hat-trick against Real Madrid, becoming the first in Asia! This kind of record may not be anything to him, but for us, it's never too much, and it will always be our proud and exciting topic of conversation.

I can tell everyone that in the entire world of football, no rising star can be as dazzling as Zhao Gang!

He is the best player of his age!

What he needs is precipitation, is stable performance!

As long as he can be consistent, without any progress, in the future, he will definitely shine in the world of football and become the most powerful competitor for the Ballon d'Or and World Footballer of the Year!"

"Taking off!!"

"Swish..."

"Asia's new flyer!!"

"Can this run the 100 meters in under ten seconds??"

"That's the highest speed. It's probably impossible to run the 100 meters in under ten seconds, but it's already the fastest sprinting speed on the football field!!"

"Another first!!"

"It's another two firsts! Fastest speed, group stage goal record! Exceeding Bale and CR7!!"

"Zhao Gang! It has to be my brother!!"

"Too strong. Watching Zhao Gang run, all my muscles tightened. After the goal, I felt like I ran dozens of meters with him. It was too exciting!!"

"Blue-clad boy, running like lightning, as swift as a meteor!"

When Real Madrid kicked off in the center circle, CR7 pursed his lips tightly, his eyes firm, staring at Manchester City's goal.

Champions League group stage goal record, knockout stage goal record, Champions League total goal record!

Before that, all the Champions League goal records were his, the real King of the Champions League!

The single-season Champions League goal record is gone today.

It was taken away under his nose!

The glory was stolen by a 19-year-old young player from Asia. This is absolutely not allowed!

No one can compare with him in the Champions League!

Goals, must score goals!

The applause at the Etihad Stadium has not stopped.

All the fans know the significance of this game for Zhao Gang.

Being able to break the Champions League single-season group stage goal record created by CR7 is a great honor for any player.

Now, Zhao Gang has done it. What's important is that there are still two and a half Champions League group stage games left, and he can continue to break his own goal record!

After Real Madrid kicked off, a fierce and violent attack started again.

Real Madrid will not allow themselves to be defeated in Manchester City!
