5:32am, 11 May 2025【Football】

In the early morning of May 7, the Meacha Stadium staged an epic reversal of the Champions League. Barcelona scored three consecutive goals in a desperate situation 0-2 and overtook the score, but was tied by Inter Milan in 95 minutes and dragged into overtime. In the end, Flatesi's fatal blow fixed the total score at 7-6. The Nerazzurri returned to the Champions League final after 17 years. With the final whistle, the camera freezes on Rafinia, who is kneeling on the ground with her face covering her face. This Brazilian Flying Wing, which has scored 21 Champions League goals in a single season, may gradually move away from the Golden Globes that are within reach.

Epic showdown: The Nerazzurri ended with laughter

The confrontation between the two rounds is a textbook for tactical games, and the open pattern of 3-3 in the first round continued to San Siro. Lautaro and Cialhanoglu broke through Barcelona's defense twice in the first 60 minutes. Just when the outside world thought the game had lost suspense, Xavi's life-threatening substitution activated the Red and Blues. In the 67th minute, Yamal made a wonderful pass and assisted Lewandon to score. Four minutes later, Felix equalized the world outside the penalty area. In the 83rd minute, Rafinia received a cross from Cancelo and headed over, and Barcelona fell into crazy on the bench. However, the dramatic turn happened in the 5th minute of stoppage time, when Archerbi beat Christensen to tie the ball and dragged the game into overtime. Barcelona, ​​who was physically overdrawn, eventually failed to block Flatesi's fatal backup shot in the 112th minute.

Rafinia: The hero's tears shed, Meacha

The broadcast footage records a heartbreaking scene: the 27-year-old Brazilian international kneeled in the middle circle, tears mixed with grass clippings across his face. In this game, he not only scored a key overtake, but also tied the record of 21 goals and 4 assists set by Ronaldo in 2014 with an astonishing data of 13 goals and 8 assists in the Champions League in a single season. The pre-match Golden Ball odds show that Rafinia and 18-year-old genius Yamal are ranked in the top two, and this loss may shake the foundation of its competition - if Paris eliminates Arsenal tonight, Mbappe may come from behind.

La Liga became the last redemption

Although the Champions League journey came to an abrupt end, Barcelona still holds the initiative in the league championship. Currently they lead La Liga with a 4-point advantage, and only need to score 7 points in the last three rounds to ensure the championship. For Rafina, the final match against Betis on May 25 may determine the fate of his Golden Globe Awards - if he can finish with the league championship + the Champions League Golden Boot, the winger, whose value soared to 120 million euros, still has the capital to compete with Mbappe.

Focus tonight: Mbappe's final tickets to the finals at 3 am on May 8, another semi-final of the Champions League will be held between Paris Saint-Germain and Arsenal. If the Ligue 1 giants, which dominate 1-0 in the first leg, successfully advance, Mbappe's golden ball odds may overtake. This ultimate showdown between North London and Paris may redefine the 2025 Golden Globes pattern
