The image of Fly overpowering Cristiano Ronaldo by half a head during an aerial duel was broadcast into thousands of homes.
Immediately, fans watching the live match began to discuss it heatedly...
"Oh my god... Fly can actually suppress Cristiano? God, his jumping ability is too strong!"
"I feel like Fly's jumping ability is no less than Michael Jordan's... It's just ridiculous."
"Fly is indeed Fly, simply awesome!!! Little Cristiano Ronaldo, take him down..."
"Heh heh... Donkey fans have been bragging about Cristiano Ronaldo being the king of headers, and this is all he's got? Fly isn't even as tall as Cristiano Ronaldo, yet he still dominates him in duels!"
"No, I thought the midget had rolled home... Why are there still remnants jumping around here? With your master's height, which grew from taking hormones, don't try to piggyback on others' achievements..."
"Even Cristiano is not his opponent. Our great Korean nation's bloodline is truly magnificent..."
"Get lost, you South Korean upstairs. Fly clearly has our Chinese blood flowing in him. What does it have to do with you South Koreans? Are you trying to steal something again?!"
On the field, Cristiano Ronaldo was also startled by Fly's jump.
For the Portuguese, he had never experienced being completely outmatched in a duel.
Especially in his most dominant aerial domain.
This time, he certainly learned a lesson.
The Real Madrid fans in the stadium fell into a brief silence when they saw this scene.
They never expected that this monster, Fly, could suppress Cristiano Ronaldo in the air; this was truly beyond their expectations.
Perhaps influenced by Fly's dominance over Cristiano Ronaldo in this duel, Arsenal's morale significantly improved in the subsequent minutes.
A continuous stream of threatening attacks emerged, leaving Casillas in front of the goal exhausted!
In the 10th minute of the match.
Fly's acceleration down the wing directly blew past Arbeloa.
After breaking into the penalty area, he took a direct shot before Pepe could close him down, and the ball was bravely saved by Casillas.
In the 13th minute of the match.
Wilshere, Fly, and Fabregas exchanged several short passes, and eventually Wilshere found space to take a shot.
Casillas once again stepped up, parrying the ball away...
In the 16th minute of the match.
Van Persie received a through pass from Fabregas and took a direct shot without stopping the ball; the ball rocketed towards the goal like a cannonball.
But at the critical moment, Casillas, as if blessed, made another save...
Seeing the Spanish goalkeeper make three beautiful saves in just a few minutes, Fly couldn't help but click his tongue:
"It's great to have a god in front of the goal..."
It could be said that Casillas was the strongest goalkeeper Fly had encountered since his debut.
Among the goalkeepers he had faced before, the strongest was probably Čech, Chelsea's god of the goal.
However, remembering Real Madrid's goalkeepers' incredible performances in the Champions League in his previous life, Fly's mood calmed down...
No rush, no rush. The match has just begun. Anyway, scoring one goal at Bernabeu will give them a huge advantage.
Real Madrid is not Barcelona; they don't have such powerful attacking firepower.
Barcelona might score 5 or 6 goals against you in a match...
But the current Real Madrid team doesn't have that capability.
In the 20th minute of the match.
The opportunity Fly had been waiting for arrived.
Wilshere was fouled by Ramos when receiving the ball at the top of the penalty arc, giving Arsenal a free-kick opportunity in the attacking third.
Fabregas stood over the ball, his eyes fixed on the goal.
The Arsenal captain took a deep breath, ran up, and struck the ball. It curved beautifully, flying towards Real Madrid's goal.
Real Madrid's goalkeeper, Casillas, was highly focused; he reacted quickly and once again dived to parry the ball away.
However, the ball was not fully cleared...
Just then, Fly appeared like a ghost in the penalty area. He leaped high and headed the ball into Real Madrid's goal with a superb header.
Casillas didn't have time to get up for a second save and could only watch helplessly as Fly scored into an empty net...
Fly scored first, and Arsenal temporarily led Real Madrid 1-0 at Bernabeu.
"GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
"Number 13, Fly Adams!!!"
"After Fabregas's free-kick was saved by Casillas, Fly appeared again at the ball's landing spot. Facing a wide-open goal, this super talent never misses..."
"1-0, Arsenal scored first away from home. This match has put Real Madrid in a disadvantageous position... Now they need someone to step up."
"Who will step up? Cristiano Ronaldo?"
"As a superstar compared to Fly and Lionel Messi, the Portuguese should respond to prove his status as one of the 'top three in the world.'"
After the ball flew into Real Madrid's net, Arsenal fans instantly went wild. They jumped and cheered in the stands, waving their red flags and shouting "Fly Adams" name.
Fly also excitedly ran to the away fans' stand, performed his signature air guitar move, and then made a heart gesture to the traveling fans in the stands, a happy and joyful smile on his face.
This action triggered even more ecstatic cheers from Arsenal fans.
As for the hosts of Bernabeu, Real Madrid fans were very impolitely booing Fly.
In their eyes, this brat only scored a goal by luck, so what's there to brag about?
Conquering the proud and discerning Real Madrid fans is no easy task...
Messi couldn't do it for so many years in his previous life, let alone Fly, who was visiting Bernabeu for the first time?
The Real Madrid players, after conceding the goal, did not get discouraged; they quickly organized new attacks.
José Mourinho, also Portuguese like Cristiano Ronaldo, continuously shouted instructions from the sidelines, demanding that his players intensify their attack.
Real Madrid's players also actively responded to the coach's directives, launching a more fierce offensive in the attacking third.
Undoubtedly, Cristiano Ronaldo once again became the core of Real Madrid's attack.
He constantly broke through on the wing, attempting to tear apart Arsenal's defense.
In the 25th minute of the match, after Cristiano Ronaldo broke through on the wing, he delivered a precise cross that found Higuaín, the Little Pipita, in the penalty area.
Higuaín leaped high and headed the ball, which grazed the crossbar and flew out of bounds, making Arsenal fans break into a cold sweat.
It has to be said... Real Madrid's strength is still very formidable.
Even a slight lapse in attention could lead to them conceding a goal.
As the match progressed, the confrontation between the two sides became increasingly intense.
In the midfield battle, both sets of players refused to give an inch, with constant physical challenges.
In the 30th minute of the match, Arsenal's defensive midfielder Alexandre Song, during a defensive action, made an overly aggressive tackle, bringing down "Dead Man" Özil, and was shown a yellow card by the Main Referee.
Subsequently, Real Madrid's vice-captain Ramos also resorted to tactical fouls multiple times when defending Fly, attempting to thwart Arsenal's attack.
However, due to Ramos's cunning nature, even though he made Fly very uncomfortable, the Main Referee did not show him a yellow card.
This allowed Ramos to become even more reckless in the following minutes...
The match grew increasingly heated, and the emotions of both sets of players gradually became agitated.
In the 35th minute of the match, Arsenal once again had an excellent attacking opportunity.
Nasri broke through on the wing and passed the ball to Van Persie in the center.
Van Persie, facing Real Madrid's defenders, skillfully used his body and technique to shake off the defender, then took a low shot.
The ball went straight towards the bottom left corner of the goal, but at the crucial moment, Real Madrid's god of the goal, Casillas, made another brilliant save, pushing the ball out for a corner.
Arsenal earned a corner kick.
Fabregas took the corner, sending the ball into the penalty area. Koscielny leaped high and headed the ball, which grazed the post and flew out of bounds.
In the 40th minute of the match.
A sudden mistake nullified Arsenal's first-half efforts.
"Dead Man" Özil's central run drew Wilshere's defense, and the former immediately passed the ball to Higuaín's feet.
The Little Pipita backed into Alexandre Song, then, with a fake move, created an angle and took a direct shot.
What was originally a rather ordinary shot was deflected by Koscielny's thigh, causing a sudden change in direction...
Szczęsny, in front of the goal, was startled by the sudden deflection; even though he reacted immediately and made a save, he was ultimately a step too slow.
The deflected ball rolled into the net about twenty centimeters from Szczęsny's right fingertips.
Higuaín helped Real Madrid equalize the score, 1-1, Arsenal drew with Real Madrid away from home.
"GOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!"
"Number 20, Gonzalo Higuaín!!!"
"What a dramatic moment! The Argentinian's shot, which originally posed little threat, was deflected into the goal with the help of the French player..."
"Szczęsny in front of the goal had no answer for it!"
"Real Madrid, with Higuaín's goal, has temporarily equalized the aggregate score, 1-1, and both teams are back on level terms."
"Of course, due to the away goals rule, Arsenal is currently still in an advantageous position."
When Higuaín scored, Bernabeu instantly erupted...
Real Madrid fans celebrated the goal wildly, white flags and handkerchiefs waved frantically, and the entire stadium was engulfed in a white ocean.
"Beautiful! That's how you do it. Gonzalo, you didn't disappoint me..."
José Mourinho, on the sidelines, wildly pumped his fists after the goal.
For the Special One, he would absolutely not allow himself to lose a match at Bernabeu.
Especially not to someone he considered a "failure expert."
If Arsenal won this match, the harsh words he had spoken before the game would make him a joke...
Although the Portuguese has always been indifferent to his reputation.
But if possible, he still hoped that the harsh words he had spoken would come true.
Only then could his prestige be higher, and he would have more confidence to continue speaking harshly.
In the final minutes of the match, both sides were striving to find another scoring opportunity.
Real Madrid continuously organized attacks in the attacking third, and Cristiano Ronaldo attempted several long-range shots, but all were thwarted by Arsenal's goalkeeper, Szczęsny.
Meanwhile, Arsenal was also looking for counter-attacking opportunities. Fly actively ran in the attacking third, trying to create scoring chances for his team.
However, with the Main Referee's whistle, the first half ended, and both teams temporarily shook hands with a 1-1 score.
The players, led by the referee, walked into the players' tunnel. In the stands of Bernabeu Stadium, fans from both sides applauded and cheered for their teams.
Real Madrid fans were looking forward to their team making a comeback in the second half and securing a solid victory in this match...
And Arsenal fans hoped that their team would continue to maintain good form in the second half and strive for a win.
After all, if the home team could beat Barcelona, there was no reason they couldn't beat Real Madrid, who were defeated by Barcelona, right?
Before walking into the players' tunnel, Fly looked back at the stands of Bernabeu Stadium, especially at Taylor, who was sitting in the box and making eye contact with him from afar.
His eyes were filled with determination, longing, and attachment.
He knew that the second half of the match would be even more intense, and Real Madrid would definitely not let Arsenal leave Bernabeu unscathed.
But he was ready; he wanted to lead Arsenal to write their own legend in this white ocean.
At the same time, he didn't want to disappoint the silly girl who had unconditionally supported him from the beginning to the end...
