The ball soared past Oblak's outstretched hand, flying straight into the goal. This was Su Luo's brilliance on full display—just the slightest opening, and he was able to create pressure on Atlético's goal!
Under intense pressure, Su Luo made a precise and powerful shot. There was no doubt about it.
"It's in!" Commentator Zhan Jun yelled, his voice filled with excitement. "When Chelsea needed a goal the most, Su Luo stepped up!"
"He's like a god out there, breaking through their defense with ease!"
"Victory for Chelsea!"
The entire Metropolitan Stadium fell silent as tens of thousands of Atlético Madrid fans processed what had just happened. This was far from the result they'd hoped for.
Some fans even began to criticize their team.
Meanwhile, on the live chat, fans from Su Luo's home country were flooding the screen with praise.
"Say no more—Su Luo is incredible!"
"That goal actually went in?"
"It looked like the Atlético keeper didn't react at all!"
"Amazing! He broke through Atlético's defense all on his own!"
"Chelsea for the win!"
On the sidelines, Atlético's head coach Simeone was in utter disbelief. Frustrated, he shouted at his players, "Are you all sleepwalking out there?"
"How many times have I told you—defend!!" he yelled, shaking his fist angrily.
But quickly regaining his focus, Simeone shouted new instructions, urging every Atlético player forward into attack.
With only three minutes left, the crowd in the Metropolitan Stadium erupted, chanting in unison, pushing their team on. These three minutes were Atlético's last chance to equalize.
As soon as play resumed, Atlético Madrid, now on their final offensive, surged toward Chelsea's goal. At a critical moment, Saul passed the ball to Angel Correa.
Correa had been outstanding all night, so Saul put his trust in him for one last attempt.
But this time, as soon as Correa received the ball on the wing, he was immediately challenged by Kante and Fabregas!
Both Chelsea defenders closed in, denying Correa any chance of a shot. Under their combined pressure, he lost possession.
And with that, the game's suspense vanished entirely.
The final whistle blew, cementing the score at 4–3.
Chelsea, the defending champions, had triumphed in a hard-fought away game.
Post-Match Press Conference
At the press conference, Atlético's head coach Simeone was visibly displeased.
In his view, his players should have managed at least a draw on home turf.
"I don't think it was a terrible game," Simeone stated. "But our Atlético players didn't show the performance we needed from them."
"But fortunately, we'll have a second round with Chelsea. Next time, we'll be ready for revenge!"
