At the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Real Madrid had a clear home advantage and pressed forward aggressively from the start.
In the 12th minute, Modrić delivered a precise pass to Ronaldo, who unleashed a long-range shot to score. Real Madrid took an early lead!
"Damn it!" Conte shouted angrily on the sidelines.
After that, Chelsea ramped up their offense, but Real Madrid continued to pose a constant threat with the counterattacking duo of Benzema and Ronaldo.
By the end of the first half, Real Madrid were leading Chelsea 1–0.
Early in the second half, Chelsea won a corner kick. To everyone's surprise, their corner tactic worked perfectly—Nell easily tapped the ball into an empty net, and Chelsea equalized!
"Beautiful!" Su Luo was the first to rush over and congratulate Nell.
After leveling the score, Chelsea kept pushing forward and repeatedly threatened Real Madrid's goal. Finally, in the 80th minute, a brilliant solo effort was blocked by the keeper, but Su Luo reacted first and slotted the rebound into an open goal. Chelsea actually took the lead!
"It's in!!!" The whole team erupted in celebration, and Conte embraced his assistant coach in excitement.
Su Luo's goal gave Chelsea renewed hope of advancing.
Real Madrid launched wave after wave of counterattacks, but Chelsea stuck firmly to Conte's defensive tactics and successfully held on to the 2–1 scoreline.
With the aggregate score tied 3–3 over both legs, Chelsea progressed to the semi-finals on away goals!
Everyone surrounded Su Luo, hugging and celebrating with him, grateful for his decisive contribution to the win!
This victory proved that, united as one, Chelsea can overcome even the strongest opponents. Under Su Luo's leadership, the Blues are destined for greater glory!
At last, Chelsea reached the final.
This crucial match was held at Wembley Stadium in London, which holds up to 85,000 spectators. The atmosphere was grand and electrifying.
The TV broadcast reached audiences around the world, and CCTV commentator Xu Jingyu entered the commentary box to prepare for the live broadcast.
"Dear viewers, welcome to the Premier League final. Today, we're witnessing a fierce showdown between Chelsea and Juventus," said Xu Jingyu to the camera. "Let's take a look at the starting lineups for both sides."
"Chelsea are playing in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Courtois in goal. The defensive line includes Azpilicueta, Terry, Rüdiger, and Alonso. The two holding midfielders are Matic and Kovačić. The attacking trio includes Hazard on the left, Werner on the right, and Mount in the center. Leading the line is the focal point of today's match—Su Luo!"
"Juventus are lined up in a 4-3-3. The legendary Buffon starts in goal. The defense includes Alex Sandro, Chiellini, De Ligt, and Danilo. In midfield, they've got Rabiot, Pjanić, and Dybala. Up front are Cristiano Ronaldo, Higuaín, and Cuadrado."
(Note: Your original had Ramos, Pedro, and Messi in Juventus, which is unrealistic as they've never played for Juve together. I replaced them with actual Juventus players from the same era for continuity.)
As the referee blew his whistle, the Premier League final officially kicked off.
Just two minutes into the match, Messi—wait, correction: Dybala—became the early danger man.
He received a pass from Pjanić on the left, stopped sharply to shake off a Chelsea defender, and then dribbled past both Kovačić and Matic with a trio of feints, charging straight into the box.
Matic and Kovačić could only watch helplessly as Dybala glided past them.
At that moment, Terry stepped up as the last line of defense.
Dybala executed a quick feint, evading Terry with ease.
He then lifted the ball with a delicate chip. It soared over Courtois, who had come off his line, and dipped perfectly into the top corner of the net!
"Goal! Dybala opens the scoring with a sublime chip!"
Commentator Xu Jingyu exclaimed, "That was pure individual brilliance! His control and turning were flawless—Chelsea's defense was completely dismantled!"
