Under the watchful eyes of 80,000 fans,
Kai's brilliance blazed like a sword drawn from its sheath!
The South Stand instantly erupted into deafening roars!
The Dortmund fans were furious.
They banged on the seats, howling in rage!
At that moment, all of Signal Iduna Park was shaking.
"Klopp! Get your players to fight back! Equalize the score!
We've been provoked by some cocky little punk from England!"
"Damn you, Klopp! If we lose this match, I swear I'll burn your house down!"
The Dortmund fans were completely enraged.
With no outlet for their fury, they lashed out at Klopp.
On the sidelines, Klopp was drenched in sweat.
Pressure from all directions crushed down on him.
This was, without a doubt,
the most difficult match Dortmund had faced in the last two seasons!
The match resumed.
But this time, as Lewandowski stood over the center circle,
his expression was visibly shaken.
Less than twenty minutes in,
and he had already been forced to restart twice from kickoff.
And not just him—
the entire Dortmund team was rattled.
The Yellow Wall's midfield began cautiously moving the ball.
But the two-goal deficit hung over the young Dortmund players like a heavy cloud.
Götze and Gündoğan started making more conservative passes.
They looked up toward Arsenal's back line...
But for a moment—
they couldn't find a single opening.
Arsenal's defensive line hovered between a high press and a mid block,
sitting at a deceptive distance—
a space that made it almost impossible for Dortmund to break through with a single attack like Arsenal had done.
At the same time, Arsenal's frontline pressing was ferocious.
Just one minute after restarting play—
Subotić made a pass forward from the back.
Shinji Kagawa failed to control it in time.
The ball was intercepted cleanly by Arteta,
who quickly tapped it back to Kai.
Instantly—
the entire Signal Iduna Park exploded into an uproar of boos!
Intercepted again!?
Who exactly was the real master of high pressing here!?
The Yellow Wall was outraged.
On the sidelines, Klopp grabbed his head in frustration and roared with all his might,
demanding his players win the ball back immediately.
But in the very instant that Arteta tapped the ball back—
Kai's eyes scanned the field like a general, every angle in view.
Without stopping the ball,
without even looking up—
He unleashed a curved, diagonal long pass
that tore open Dortmund's backline once again!
The Dortmund supporters in the stands looked stunned and hollow.
Under the arc of Kai's long pass,
Van Persie perfectly timed his run, controlling the ball in stride!
This time, Subotić and Hummels were back and holding their positions firmly.
Van Persie glanced toward the center—
and without hesitation, sent a sharp pass across the box.
Kai, arriving at full speed,
flicked the ball over with his toe, slipping past Subotić who had turned and charged in to intercept.
He broke into the box—
and fired a low shot toward the near post!
Once again—
Dortmund's goal was pierced!
In front of the goal, Weidenfeller looked lost.
He collapsed onto the goal line, stunned.
All of Signal Iduna Park was drowned by the thunderous roar from the Arsenal away supporters.
3:0!!
The live commentators were utterly speechless.
"One minute… two goals!"
The Arsenal fans were going berserk!
They screamed Kai's name at the top of their lungs.
And once again, after scoring,
Kai turned toward the stands of Signal Iduna Park
and let out a primal, furious roar!
At that moment—
A cacophony of cheers and boos fused into a storm,
engulfing Arsenal's young captain.
Every single Arsenal player rushed in,
surrounding Kai in celebration!
The German media at the scene fell into dead silence.
They looked as if they had just witnessed a monster.
A monster—unleashing his full power at Signal Iduna Park, sweeping away everything in his path!
But the nightmare for Dortmund fans was far from over.
The match restarted again from the center circle.
This time, there was no trace of calm left on Lewandowski's face.
After kicking off, he just stood there, frozen.
It seemed he simply couldn't accept his team's performance tonight.
Three goals conceded in under twenty minutes!
The Dortmund players' steps grew visibly heavy.
On the sideline, Klopp kept shouting in frustration—
But it wasn't helping at all.
Arsenal's storm was sweeping through Dortmund's half once again!
A sliding tackle by Koscielny outside the box knocked the ball toward the edge of the center circle.
Sagna shielded the ball and made a diagonal pass—
Right to Kai.
Faced with pressure from Gündoğan and Subotić,
Kai pivoted, controlled the ball,
and whipped a curved pass with the outside of his foot!
A viciously spinning through ball arced through the air—
cutting through the night sky like a blade!
The pass found Walcott making a run down the wing—perfectly!
The Dortmund fans' scalps tingled.
Such a difficult pass… was already impressive once—
but twice? Three times? Four?!
Their understanding of football was being shattered.
The roar inside Signal Iduna Park reached an indescribable peak!
Walcott dashed with the ball at his feet.
Van Persie pulled wide, making a quick switch with him.
And in the middle—Kai was charging up again!
The Arsenal fans were going wild!
This wasn't just an attack—it was a tidal wave!
On the sidelines, Klopp stood in stunned silence,
his eyes locked in terror on Arsenal's front three.
Van Persie and Walcott switched positions again.
The ball was passed to Walcott, making another run.
Walcott timed his move, and just at the edge of the penalty area—
he delivered a cutback pass!
Kai charged in to meet the ball, preparing to unleash another long-range rocket just outside the box.
But just then—
a figure slid in from inside the penalty area!
Hummels! He couldn't afford to hesitate anymore.
With a last-ditch sliding tackle, he brought Kai down hard!
A wave of deafening boos erupted across the massive stadium!
Arsenal fans were furious.
They pounded their bottles, cursing Hummels' foul.
"Damn it, Hummels! If our captain had scored that, he would've broken the record for the fastest hat trick in Champions League history!"
"You bastard, you dirty cheat!"
The Arsenal end roared in outrage!
Walcott and Van Persie rushed over from the flanks
and helped Kai back up.
On the sideline, Klopp wore a grim expression.
This was a foul right on the edge of the box.
Though he'd prevented Kai from taking another direct shot at goal—
he had now given Arsenal a dangerous free-kick opportunity!
Under the eyes of 80,000 fans at Signal Iduna Park,
Kai stood over the ball.
Both sides began to set up their walls.
The free kick was near the right edge of the box.
Kai took position just behind the right side of the ball.
The Dortmund fans were stunned.
"Wait… this is a left-footed stance?!"
"But isn't Arsenal's number 10 a right-footed player?"
On the sidelines, Wenger and Klopp stood in stark contrast—
Wenger calm and focused,
Klopp silently praying.
It had been just three minutes since the last goal.
Under the night sky of North Rhine-Westphalia—
"Tweet—!!"
The referee blew the whistle.
The wall began to jostle.
Kai took a deep breath.
Run-up.
Left foot. Shot!
Signal Iduna Park shook violently!
All the Dortmund fans leapt from their seats in shock!
The ball, struck by Kai, curved wickedly through the air—
curling over Dortmund's wall,
executing a perfect arc.
Kai's free-kick technique—maxed out to the limit—
was on full display!
The ball bent over everyone's heads,
whistling through the air,
and slammed into the top left corner of Dortmund's goal!
A perfect, inch-accurate top-corner free-kick goal!!
In that instant—
all of Signal Iduna Park exploded!
A wild roar erupted from the Arsenal away end—
spreading like a shockwave through the stadium skies!
