"From the start of the match, both sides engaged in fierce physical confrontation! There were continuous fouls targeting Suker!"

Suker got up from the ground for the third time, his white jersey already stained with grass clippings, and he raised a hand to complain to the Referee.

The Referee also saw Suker's protest. He ran over with one hand pressed down, signaling Suker to calm down.

At the same time, he found Vidal, who had been fouling continuously, and gave him a verbal warning.

"Vidal has fouled three times in a row. This time, Juventus's tactical intention against Suker is very clear: as soon as Suker gets the ball in a dangerous area, they will immediately foul him!"

"And Vidal is strictly executing his tactical mission!"

González shook his head and said.

This style of play certainly detracts from the spectacle, but any team facing Suker will choose to foul him.

Real Madrid fans are accustomed to this; perhaps the day they no longer pay attention to Suker would be truly surprising.

For Real Madrid, Suker facing continuous fouls means, to some extent, that the match is proceeding smoothly.

After all, if Juventus had a better solution, they would absolutely not resort to fouling tactics.

This also poses a huge hidden danger for them!

Vidal accepted the verbal warning. If he fouls again next time, he will not escape a yellow card.

Real Madrid's throw-in from the back. When Suker was about to receive the ball again, he was suddenly pushed forward.

The push was forceful, and Suker fell directly onto his back.

Beep!

The Referee blew his whistle again.

He immediately rushed to the location of the foul and showed Pirlo a yellow card.

"What are you doing?!"

Suker turned his head and shouted, annoyed.

Pirlo grinned, shook his head, and then extended his hand to Suker.

Despite some dissatisfaction, he still reached out his hand.

Pirlo pulled Suker up, his expression a bit awkward: "Why aren't you resisting collisions anymore?"

Suker turned his head, furious.

"Are you sick?!"

Pirlo gave another awkward smile.

He was also a bit confused. The old Suker could withstand this kind of impact, or rather, without such force, it would be impossible to interfere with Suker.

Therefore, Pirlo had put all his strength into colliding with Suker.

He didn't expect this guy to be somewhat unable to withstand collisions now!

Of course, he couldn't be sure whether his strength had increased or if Suker was simply less resistant to collisions.

Pirlo received a yellow card, and the match resumed.

Kroos took the free kick. Since it was too far from the goal, it couldn't directly threaten the goal, so he opted for a pass.

After several consecutive fouls, even Kroos was scared.

He was genuinely afraid that Juventus had the idea of an extreme one-for-one exchange.

After all, the collision between Bonucci and Suker in the last match had given them a fright.

After completing the transfer, Real Madrid began to advance with Bale's wing as the focal point.

Kroos constantly roamed up and down, looking for suitable receiving points and providing continuous ball control for Real Madrid.

Kroos's playing style is simple and efficient, and his passing is extremely reasonable.

Every pass is stable, and occasionally there are some penetrating passes. Of course, these are all probing attacks.

So far, Juventus has not exposed any defensive problems.

Therefore, Real Madrid is not in a hurry, maintaining a steady mindset and advancing step by step.

Both sides had possession, but Real Madrid controlled the situation more.

This was not good news for Juventus. They had invested a lot of personnel in the midfield precisely for ball control and rhythm control.

But now, they couldn't control the midfield rhythm, and were even slightly suppressed by Real Madrid.

Soon, Pirlo noticed the problem: Suker always moved towards the center, helping Kroos share the burden of ball control.

Once a tricky situation arose, Suker would invariably appear around Kroos, providing him with a safe passing option.

And with Suker's ability, he could even handle the ball safely.

This put Juventus in a somewhat passive position.

The match entered the 19th minute. The game had been dull during this period, but soon, Pirlo suddenly chipped the ball over the top, passing it to Peruso, who was making a diagonal run forward.

But when Peruso tried to receive the ball, Casemiro moved in, very strongly heading the ball away.

Bang!

The ball was headed forward by Casemiro. After clearing the danger, Casemiro clenched his fist and roared.

Once bitten, twice shy!

They wouldn't fall for the same trick of using rhythm changes for a sneak attack.

Casemiro had suffered in the previous round's goal, and this time he wouldn't make the same mistake.

The ball was headed forward, and Benzema actively dropped back to receive it, also drawing Chiellini out.

"You're open behind you!"

Pirlo shouted, pointing to the space behind Chiellini, looking particularly anxious.

Chiellini was also slow to react, but just as he realized, Benzema had already passed the ball back.

Kroos gently flicked the ball as it came to him, and it sailed over Chiellini's head, flying into the open space behind him.

And there, Suker had already surged forward diagonally, controlling the ball in one fluid motion, and darting into the penalty area.

"Suker!!!—"

Spanish commentator González roared.

This position was already within Suker's shooting range.

Just then, Suker lifted his left foot, feigning a shot.

When Barzagli, who was trailing, slid in to block, Suker pulled the ball and changed direction, dragging it to his right side, then switched to his right foot to shoot.

Juventus Goalkeeper Buffon instinctively leaned to his right.

His positioning was closer to the left, so he thought Suker would shoot to the far post.

But Suker didn't do that. Instead, he twisted his body and unleashed a powerful shot. The ball formed a right angle with Suker's running direction, precisely drilling into the bottom left corner of the goal.

Swish!!!!—

The ball hit the net.

In the 21st minute, Suker's shot gave Real Madrid the opening goal!

"Suker!!!!!!!!!!!!—"

González raised both hands and cheered wildly.

The entire Bernabéu stadium also erupted, with hundreds of thousands of fans suddenly bursting into intense cheers, as if the ground itself was trembling.

Everyone was shouting Suker's name.

It was Suker again who helped Real Madrid break the deadlock.

At the same time, this was Suker's 67th goal for Real Madrid in the Champions League.

In Real Madrid's Champions League scoring list, Raúl was the historical top scorer with 66 goals.

And now, Suker had broken this record in just four seasons since joining Real Madrid.

Four seasons, 68 goals.

An average of 17 Champions League goals per season!

Such a crazy performance had long made Real Madrid fans worship him completely.

The fans were excited, but Suker himself slightly pressed his hands down, signaling the fans not to be so agitated.

That calm expression on his face made Srna grin.

This guy was just showing off!

He was probably overjoyed inside!

However, looking at Suker's achievements, Srna couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Crunch! Crunch!

At the Croatia National Team training base, Van Stoyak was cracking sunflower seeds, watching the match with great relish.

He saw Suker's brilliant performance and couldn't help but applaud.

"This is too strong!"

"What's too strong?"

Bešić walked into the office and asked Van Stoyak.

The latter pointed to the TV: "Suker's performance! He doesn't waste a single chance; he's terrifyingly calm in front of the goal!"

Bešić's mouth curved into a slight smile: "Didn't you already know all this?!"

"Knowing is one thing, but it's still incredible," Van Stoyak shook his head and sighed, "Back in Bosnia and Herzegovina, he did show some talent, but I never imagined he could grow to this extent."

After speaking, he grinned and held up five fingers: "Five Ballons d'Or! Looking at the entire world, he's already a superstar worthy of being recorded in history."

On Real Madrid's bench, Zidane was also applauding, congratulating Suker on becoming Real Madrid's all-time leading scorer.

"Currently, in Real Madrid's Champions League scoring list, Suker is first with 67 goals, Raúl has 66 goals, and the third is Benzema? 32 goals?"

Zidane paused, looking up in bewilderment.

"Did Benzema score that many goals?"

Benzema did score a lot of goals, but his glory was overshadowed by Suker.

Otherwise, with Benzema's ability, he would be fully qualified to challenge Real Madrid's historical top scorers.

However, he is indeed very talented, but above him, there is still a monster!

In front of Suker's exaggerated scoring pattern, Benzema's goal tally seemed somewhat insignificant.

In fact, while Suker's firepower was fierce, Benzema always managed to sneak in goals, and he scored quite a few.

The entire stadium cheered and shouted for Suker, congratulating him on unlocking a new achievement.

Not only did he become Real Madrid's top Champions League scorer, but he also became the player with the most goals in Champions League history.

Most crucially, Suker was still young, and he could continue to break this record.

Looking at this almost unstoppable shot, Buffon shook his head repeatedly.

He didn't expect Suker to be so bold, choosing to shoot near post instead of far post, with such perfect control over the angle and speed.

Even if it were other Goalkeepers, they wouldn't have reacted in time.

Buffon's mouth was full of bitterness.

For him, he had achieved various honors.

Champions League, League Championship, Cup Championship, and so on...

He had even lifted the World Cup trophy.

But in his personal honors, he was only missing one Champions League!

That's right!

Even Buffon had never touched this honor.

This might become the regret of his life!

Even big names like Buffon and Pirlo were helpless against Suker, finding it difficult to deal with his goals, let alone others.

Pogba was a bit restless on the sidelines; he believed he had the ability to change the score for the team.

However, Conte told him to calm down.

It wasn't time to send Pogba onto the field yet.

However, in the 27th minute, Marcelo suddenly surged forward, and his curling shot from the edge of the penalty area once again pierced Juventus's goal.

Real Madrid extended their lead to 2:0.

At this point, the Juventus coaching staff couldn't sit still; they urgently needed to control the rhythm of the midfield.

But just as Conte was deploying his tactics, in the 31st minute, Real Madrid once again used a set piece to conquer Juventus's goal.

Suker's precise curved shot found the net, further widening the gap for Real Madrid.

This time, Conte couldn't sit still; he immediately made a substitution.

Vidal, who had received a yellow card, was substituted off, and Pogba came on as a substitute.

But the current Pogba was still a young player; putting aside his abilities for now, it was impossible to expect Juventus to play around him.

No matter how hard Pogba tried, he was like being in a black hole, always being drawn into an inexplicable rhythm.

Pogba struggled valiantly, but the more he struggled, the more he found himself unable to escape this rhythm.

By halftime, Juventus had not only conceded three goals but had also fallen into a highly passive situation.

In the second half, Juventus made further adjustments.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, stuck to their plan, continuing to play with their original lineup.

But soon, as they played, they realized that Real Madrid was no longer attacking but was focusing on ball control.

By the 70th minute, Real Madrid even made consecutive substitutions, bringing on Di Maria and Coentrão to further control the rhythm and defensive intensity.

And at this point in the game, Juventus had basically lost their chance.

However, Juventus still managed to score a consolation goal in the 81st minute, thanks to Pirlo's direct free-kick.

The match also came to an end after 90 minutes, with the sound of the final whistle.

"The match is over! Real Madrid defeated Juventus 3:1 in this leg! With an aggregate score of 5:2 over two legs, they eliminated the Bianconeri and advanced to the Champions League Semi-Final!"

"Real Madrid also became the first team to enter the Champions League Semi-Final!"

"As the reigning Champions League, Real Madrid has once again reached the crucial Semi-Final stage, and what kind of opponents will they face? Let's look forward to their even more exciting performance."

After the final whistle, Suker was immediately surrounded by the media.

In this match, Suker broke Raúl's record, becoming Real Madrid's all-time best Champions League player, and with 89 Champions League goals, he had already become the Champions League's all-time top scorer.

Suker spoke eloquently during the interview, and his expression showed that he was extremely happy.

After all, every achievement reached represents breaking historical records.

Suker loved this feeling.

Finally, Suker asked the organizers for the match ball to keep as a souvenir, as he had achieved Real Madrid's all-time top scorer record with this ball, which naturally held commemorative significance.

After Real Madrid won their match, the other Champions League Semi-Finalists were also decided.

First, Bayern Munich defeated Barcelona 3:1 away, advancing to the Champions League Semi-Final with an aggregate score of 9:1 over two legs.

This match showed everyone the formidable strength displayed by Bayern Munich.

Even without Messi, Barcelona was not so easy to defeat away from home, but Bayern Munich's performance in that match was devastating.

Next, Borussia Dortmund also defeated Valencia, advancing to the Champions League Semi-Final without suspense.

And the last spot went to the Turkish team Galatasaray, who defeated Málaga 3:2 over two legs, advancing to the Champions League Semi-Final.

This was Galatasaray's second time reaching the Champions League Semi-Final, the first being in the 1988/1989 season when it was still the European Cup.

After 24 years, Galatasaray from Turkey once again reached the Champions League Semi-Final.

However, this time, they were considered underdogs in the Champions League Semi-Final.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich need no introduction.

Borussia Dortmund had also shown their strength.

And Galatasaray, no matter how you looked at it, couldn't compete with these three teams.

Therefore, during the draw, the remaining three teams almost all wanted to draw Galatasaray, to play a relatively easy match.

But fate plays tricks, and newcomers have good luck!

Borussia Dortmund drew Galatasaray.

And Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, the two super giants, would face each other directly.

The appearance of this draw result completely ignited the world.

Many people thought that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich would meet in the Final, creating a match of the century.

But the two clubs met early, fighting for a spot in the Champions League Final.

It can be said that this sudden draw and its result surprised everyone.

Of course, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich had prepared themselves mentally.

But for them, this was the worst possible draw!

For Bayern Munich, they didn't want to meet Real Madrid so soon; they preferred to secure their Champions League Final spot first, then have a big battle with Real Madrid, and defeat them in the Final—that was their preferred script.

The same went for Real Madrid; warm up in the Semi-Final, then play freely in the Final.

But with the draw result, they had to fight for their lives in the Semi-Final.

After the draw result was announced, representatives of both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich clutched their heads, looking incredibly pained.

Unlike these two giants, Borussia Dortmund and Galatasaray were ecstatic!

Borussia Dortmund got the best possible draw, greatly increasing their chances of reaching the Final.

Galatasaray also got a good draw; at least compared to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund's pressure wasn't as overwhelming.

They even had a chance to appear on the Champions League Final stage!

But no matter what, the draw was over.

Champions League Semi-Final matchups:

Real Madrid VS Bayern Munich.

Borussia Dortmund VS Galatasaray.

In the lower bracket, Borussia Dortmund had a higher probability of advancing, but in the upper bracket, it was truly impossible to tell.

Real Madrid was the reigning Champions League, a terrifying name.

And this season's Bayern Munich was terrifyingly strong!

Both of these teams had the ability to reach the Champions League Final, so an accurate judgment couldn't be made.

However, in this Champions League, Borussia Dortmund had certainly risen to prominence.

As a dark horse team, they had made it all the way to the Semi-Final, and possibly even the Final.

It could be said that after this season, European giants and wealthy clubs had already begun to stockpile funds, waiting for the Borussia Dortmund supermarket to open.

Borussia Dortmund itself was also aware that after this season, they would most likely not be able to retain these young talents.

Therefore, for them, it was enough to let these young players perform as much as possible, get into form, and ultimately sell them for a good price.
