In the career of professional footballers, there will always be some key games that need to be stumbled, and some players can step up to break the deadlock and change the game with one blow. If there is anyone who is the strongest Mr. Big Scene among the current players, Bale has no suspense. After moving to the MLS, the 33-year-old Bell staged the return of the Great Sage, and turned the tide in the 128th minute to win the 22nd title of his football career!
In the annual MLS Finals on November 6, Western Conference champion Los Angeles FC vs. Eastern Conference champion Philadelphia United, the two sides fought in regular time to a 2-2 draw, which can be described as a close match, and had to go to overtime. In the 124th minute, Philadelphia United's Elliott scored a goal. With one less man to play, the score is 2-3 down, and there is little time left. In such a desperate situation, Great St. Bell stepped forward!
When Los Angeles FC was in a desperate situation, Bale, who only came on as a substitute in the 97th minute, successfully stepped up, and in the 128th minute, Palacios sent a cross, and Bale jumped high to score a header to equalize the score, 3-3!
Bell staged the return of the Great Sage, completed the whistle level, and rushed with his teammates to celebrate, and the Los Angeles FC fans in the field were boiling. The Welsh star scored the latest goal in MLS history.
In overtime, the two sides entered an exciting penalty shootout, with Los Angeles FC making 3 of the first 4 free throws and Philadelphia United missing 3 free throws. The tug-of-war is finally over, Los Angeles FC won 3-0 on penalties and won the 2022 MLS championship with an aggregate score of 6-3, and captain Carlos Bella lifted the trophy!
Even in retirement, Bale can play the key goal that locks the game and does not change his true character. Bale has played 15 finals in his career so far, successfully scoring 6 goals and 5 assists, winning 13 of them, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the king of the finals.
Bale was undoubtedly a contributor to the team's victory, as he managed to equalise in a desperate situation of 10 men coming off the bench in the 97th minute. I can't help but think of the big scene Mr. Bale, the goal against Atletico Madrid in the 2014 Champions League final, and the stunning goal against Liverpool in the 2018 Champions League final.
The MLS championship is also Bell's 22nd football career so far. In fact, after joining Los Angeles FC in July this year, Bale was previously questioned, only played 12 games for the team, only 2 starts, 2 goals and 0 assists are quite a pension. But now, Bale has proved that his prowess has not diminished with this crucial goal in the final, which is definitely good news for Wales.
Interestingly, as the opponents of Group B of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the United States and Wales faced each other in the first round. At that time, I wonder if Bell will also stage the return of the Great Sage to successfully turn the tide like this game?
