Chapter 339: Xavi, also known as Spain's Deng Kai

Viana passed the football to Deng Kai, who was catching up, and then made a run himself.

Deng Kai didn't wait for Viana to get into position and immediately made a through pass to Drogba.

Drogba, holding off Abelardo, passed the ball sideways to Quaresma.

Quaresma made a chip pass into the penalty area without stopping the ball first.

Guardiola's mistake had left Barcelona's defense exposed, and in their efforts to guard Drogba, their backline was in disarray.

After Quaresma's chip, Cristiano Ronaldo on the left found himself with an enormous amount of space at the back post, completely unmarked.

Bang!

Cristiano Ronaldo controlled the ball and shot immediately, the football zooming towards the near post with precision.

It was an audacious and technically brilliant strike.

Few players dare to handle the ball like that, especially against top-tier teams.

Yet there are some players who become more liberated in such moments.
