Li Yufei's Response, Back to the Starting Line

Kante's interceptions in midfield grew even more ferocious. Like a tireless Iron Man, he ran back and forth, snuffing out Real Madrid's attacks time and again before they could take shape.

Kroos and Modrić, meanwhile, quickened the tempo of their passing, constantly pulling Real Madrid's defensive shape apart as they searched for openings.

Li Yufei and Suarez also developed increasingly seamless chemistry in the attacking third.

They kept making Interspersed Runs, stretching Real Madrid's defense line and putting enormous pressure on their defenders.

Ramos and Pepe, Real Madrid's two starting center-backs, could only run back and forth in response. Fatigue gradually showed on their faces.

In the 8th minute, Arsenal launched a counterattack. After receiving the ball in midfield, Modrić threaded a precise through pass to Li Yufei up front.

After receiving the ball, Li Yufei accelerated in an instant, shaking off Ramos's marking and charging straight toward Real Madrid's penalty area.

Li Yufei's gaze sharpened as he sensed Pepe's intentions. He shifted his body slightly and, with a clever change of direction, easily slipped past Pepe's defense.

Just as he was about to shoot, Coentrão rushed forward to block him, completely shutting down the shooting angle.

Suarez took the ball and unleashed a powerful shot toward goal.

Arsenal's fans let out disappointed sighs.

Real Madrid's fans, meanwhile, erupted into cheers, applauding Casillas's brilliant save.

Suarez shook his head, a trace of regret on his face. He knew he had missed a perfect chance to level the score.
