Li Mingyu's Solo Charge (Seeking Collection, Seeking Recommendation)

Li Mingyu heard the sound of fabric tearing, but having already broken into a sprint, he didn't spare it a second thought.

Right now, his eyes were fixed solely on the Real Madrid goal.

Only a goal mattered!

Center-back Varane saw Vazquez tumble to the ground and Li Mingyu charging forward as if riding a somersault cloud; he cursed under his breath as he hurried over to defend.

But Li Mingyu, already at full speed, was simply unstoppable.

Unless they fouled him.

However, as Li Mingyu had already stepped into the penalty area, Varane was wary of the consequences and dared not commit a foul, forced instead to hold his defensive position.

Li Mingyu showed no intention of slowing down during his high-speed run. With the instep of his right foot, he unleashed a cold strike that flew past Varane's leg, curling into a beautiful arc straight toward the goal.

Courtois's line of sight was completely blocked by Varane. By the time he spotted the ball, it was already too late; he could only manage a wave of his hand as he watched the ball fly into the net behind him.

0:1. At Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, Barcelona had taken the lead.

In the third minute of the match, Li Mingyu went on a solo run and scored his first-ever goal in El Clasico.

The entire stadium of Real Madrid fans fell silent in an instant.

Ever since Li Mingyu had used a Marseille Turn to get past Valverde in midfield, the Real Madrid fans hadn't stopped booing, hoping to rattle him with their deafening jeers.

But Li Mingyu, deaf to the world and focused only on scoring against Real Madrid, remained completely unaffected. With a straight-line burst of speed, he cleanly bypassed the opposing fullback who had rushed to intercept him. Once he charged into the penalty area, he didn't even adjust his footing before unleashing that cold strike, piercing the Real Madrid goal.

Clean and clinical. From the moment Li Mingyu received the ball to the shot, less than ten seconds had passed. It was a seamless, terrifying display of skill.

However, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium remained quiet for less than three seconds before erupting like a volcano. The earth-shattering boos were so loud that Chinese viewers watching late at night had to quickly turn down their television volumes.

After scoring, Li Mingyu stood in place, feeling somewhat bewildered.

He could hardly believe he had just breached the Real Madrid goal.

Although Li Mingyu had already scored 19 goals previously, many of them spectacular, this particular goal gave him a special feeling.

A goal in El Clasico—a goal under the gaze of the entire world—filled Li Mingyu with a profound sense of happiness.

As a Barcelona player, what could be more joyful than scoring against Real Madrid?

Before Li Mingyu could even prepare to roar in celebration, he felt a massive force from behind, accompanied by Griezmann's excited shout, "Li, you are incredible!"

Ever since Li Mingyu had dribbled past his man in midfield, Griezmann and Messi had been sprinting to keep up. But as they watched Li Mingyu bypass Vazquez and score a goal worthy of the El Clasico highlight reel with the intensity of a demon god, both of them had been left stunned.

Griezmann, acting like a child, ran frantically to Li Mingyu's side, jumped onto his back, and celebrated wildly.

The Barcelona players all sprinted excitedly from their own half to join the frantic celebration.

Even goalkeeper Ter Stegen, who hadn't touched the ball yet, ran from far away, lifting his foot as if preparing to kick Li Mingyu in the backside.

Li Mingyu was already surrounded by the group, having already been subjected to the customary "three-hit" celebration.

As the crowd dispersed, Li Mingyu felt a cool breeze on his backside. With a lingering sense of trauma, he hopped away, dodging Ter Stegen's sneaky kick.

Li Mingyu turned his head, looked at Ter Stegen, whose foot hadn't even touched the ground yet, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Ter Stegen froze, lifted his foot, shook it, and said, "Li, look at my shoe. Does it look good?"

After being glared at fiercely by Li Mingyu, Ter Stegen ran back to his own half with an awkward expression.

Watching the Barcelona players being so "arrogant" on their home turf, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium fans were completely enraged, and massive boos echoed through the sky.

The Real Madrid players, faces full of anger, stood at the center circle, waiting for the Barcelona players to return so they could restart the match.

However, the referee ran over to Li Mingyu, pointed at his back, and signaled for him to leave the pitch immediately.

Li Mingyu felt his back and discovered a large tear in his jersey.

With no other choice, he had to go to the sidelines to change into a spare kit.

A whistle blew, and Real Madrid launched their attack with the ferocity of hungry wolves.

Sure enough, after the ball was passed back, it went straight to Valverde's feet.

Today, Real Madrid's primary attacking focus was the right flank.

Valverde looked at Li Mingyu with a sour expression; he felt half the responsibility for the conceded goal rested on his shoulders.

He was the first line of defense against Li Mingyu, and he had been bypassed too easily, which left Vazquez out of position.

Valverde looked at the poised Li Mingyu, a sneer flashing across his lips.

Valverde feinted a move toward the sideline, but Li Mingyu remained unmoved, as if he had seen through his intentions at a glance.

Valverde decided to play along, pushing the ball forward and preparing to slip past Li Mingyu.

Although Li Mingyu's defensive attributes could only be described as average, he saw right through Valverde's reckless, rookie-style dribbling.

The man went past, but the ball did not.

Valverde slipped past Li Mingyu, but the football was intercepted by Li Mingyu's outstretched leg.

Possession changed.

After winning the ball, Li Mingyu immediately pushed it forward, entering the opponent's half.

Real Madrid never expected Valverde to lose the ball so easily.

Li Mingyu's counterattack speed surged in an instant.

Real Madrid's defensive line tracked back with remarkable pace.

Three players had already begun to swarm and intercept Li Mingyu.

This time, Li Mingyu could not easily break through the opposing line; instead, he was pinched by two defenders and forced toward the sideline.

Li Mingyu leaned his body against Varane, pinning the ball under his right foot to evade the opponent's tackle.

Suddenly, Li Mingyu caught a glimpse of someone in a yellow jersey appearing not far away. Without checking who it was, he executed a clever backheel, sending the ball nutmegging straight through Varane's legs.
