83rd minute.
Real Madrid currently led Zaragoza 2-0.
After Suker's first-half goal, Pepe scored again from a header, extending the lead.
Now, with little time left, the match was nearing its end.
Real Madrid had an attacking opportunity. Di María charged down the wing at high speed.
Suker provided support in the center.
He sprinted forward but suddenly stopped just outside the penalty area.
At that moment, Di María crossed, aiming for Suker's position.
Suker turned to face the ball, with the goal to his side.
His weight shifted to his left leg, crouching slightly to gather power, then he leaped forcefully, hips driving the motion.
In the air, Suker's body twisted like a windmill, his right leg whipping forward , fiercely striking the ball.
"Suker! Volley!"
The shot was powerful and close-range. Zaragoza's goalkeeper couldn't react in time as the ball rocketed into the net.
Swish!
84th minute: Suker scored a brace, his second goal.
"Suker!!! This goal is simply incredible! What terrifying physicality! His leg moved like a whip, driving the ball straight into the net!"
"This is definitely the Goal of the Week! Congratulations to Suker, congratulations to Real Madrid for their third goal!"
"Real Madrid! They are getting closer and closer to breaking 100 points!"
Whoooooooooooooooooosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!——
The entire Santiago Bernabéu erupted.
Real Madrid fans were proud!
They had the most Champions League trophies in history, they were the most successful team in European competitions, they were a Spanish giant, and they had the world's best players.
And all because they were Real Madrid.
Now, they were witnessing brand-new history.
Breaking 100 points in a single season!
This was an unprecedented feat, about to be achieved at the Bernabéu, right before their eyes.
How could they not be excited and thrilled?
We are Real Madrid!!
We are invincible!
We are Real Madrid!!
We are unbeatable!
We are Real Madrid!!
We are the greatest club!
In the Real Madrid fan stands, it was like a massive, pulsating wall.
Tens of thousands of fans linked arms, jumping and cheering, making the entire stadium seem to shake.
From Suker's goal until the final whistle.
When the referee blew, thunderous cheers soared into the sky!
"Victory!!!!"
"Real Madrid wins La Liga Round 34! This is their 34th consecutive league win, also helping them achieve the feat of breaking 100 points!"
"A terrifying record of 34-0-0! My God! Real Madrid's dominance this season is frightening!"
"With 34 league matches and 102 points, they sit atop the league table. They are just four matches away from an invincible title!"
"Just four more games, and Real Madrid will rule La Liga this season!"
"Madridistas, cheer! Shout! You have the best team, you are the greatest team! Look what you've achieved in one season—my God! It's unbelievable!"
Boom boom boom boom boom!!!
Fireworks lit up the sky.
Though not a title celebration, such a memorable day deserved some festive atmosphere.
The stadium roared with applause, Madrid fans clapping until their hands were red.
In the VIP seats, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez, along with invited officials from the Spanish FA and UEFA, appeared, all applauding to congratulate this achievement.
On camera, Florentino Pérez beamed, happy as a child.
The camera panned to the pitch, where Real Madrid players chased and flocked, celebrating this glorious moment together.
They gathered, celebrating with a human pyramid, having a blast.
The match ended, Zaragoza players left the field.
But Real Madrid players returned.
When they came back, they wore matching T-shirts.
White T-shirts with "100+" printed on them, symbolizing Real Madrid's point-breaking feat.
Next came the speeches.
If they didn't let Florentino Pérez say a few words, the old man would throw a fit.
Florentino Pérez used passionate words to inspire the fans, constantly emphasizing how great Real Madrid was.
Though it was all motivational talk, at this moment, every word resonated deeply, drawing cheers and applause from the fans.
After Florentino Pérez spoke, coach Mourinho spoke, and finally, captain Casillas also spoke.
Casillas seemed overly excited, his speech halting, but it felt genuine.
He kept thanking this person, that person, on and on.
At first, it felt heartwarming, but later it became somewhat formulaic.
At this point, the event should have ended, but Florentino Pérez took the mic from Casillas and handed it to Suker.
He then pushed Suker forward.
Suker was stunned.
No one told him he had to speak!
He wasn't prepared!
Suker looked back at Florentino Pérez, who gave an encouraging nod.
Suker had no choice.
Well, I'll just wing it then.
Seeing Suker pushed forward, the entire stadium's focus shifted to him, falling silent.
"No applause for me?" Suker held up two fingers; "I did score two goals, after all!"
Madrid fans couldn't help but laugh, then broke into enthusiastic applause.
Florentino Pérez and others behind also smiled and clapped.
Suker took a deep breath, then shouted into the mic:
"Hala!!"
Suker turned the mic toward the stands. Fans were momentarily confused but quickly caught on, responding somewhat unevenly:
"Madrid!!!"
Suker spoke into the mic again; "Hey! Show me your proud faces! You just broke 100 points—you're NO.1! Louder!"
Suker again into the mic:
"Hala!!!!——"
"Madrid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!——"
The cheers surged, 90,000+ Madrid fans red-faced, shouting toward the pitch.
The voices was like a tidal wave, seeming to overwhelm everything.
"We witnessed history together. Don't think this has nothing to do with you. We fight on the pitch, you fight in the stands. Your job is to drown out the opponent's fans, let us hear your voices!"
"Your non-stop cheers throughout the match gave us strength, made us play with more confidence because we knew you were always with us. We weren't fighting alone!"
"Folks, it's not just this match. There are more tough battles ahead. You know what to do, right?"
With that, Suker again turned the mic toward the stands.
Instantly, the cheers intensified.
Whoooooooooooooooooosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!——
"Not crazy enough! This noise won't scare the opponents!"
Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!——
"Louder! Make the ground shake!!"
Whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooosh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!——
Over 90,000 Madrid fans shouted hysterically, wildly releasing their passion.
Under their voices, the ground truly seemed to vibrate!
Suker smiled satisfied; "Yes! Remember this feeling!"
Suker then slowly exhaled; "Finally, I want to thank one person..."
Under everyone's surprised gaze, Suker walked to Florentino Pérez, pulling him forward.
"I thank him for choosing me. Before joining Real Madrid, he told me the best players should play at the Bernabéu. But that statement has a problem..."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Was Suker questioning Florentino Pérez?
Even Florentino Pérez turned to look at Suker.
Suker placed his right hand on his chest;
"I'm not excellent enough, not outstanding enough. To be worthy of this jersey, to be worthy of Real Madrid's glorious history, I must become even stronger!"
The shock on Florentino Pérez's face slowly faded, replaced by a smile.
Suker continued;
"Real Madrid is a club with a glorious history. Being able to join Real Madrid, to wear this jersey, fills me with immense honor!"
"But I'm not satisfied with that. I hope one day I can become a pride of Real Madrid, and your pride as well!"
"Today, I take pride in Real Madrid!"
"Tomorrow, Real Madrid will take pride in me!"
As these words came out, everyone, including Florentino Pérez, was deeply moved.
Florentino Pérez's chest rose and fell slightly.
He hadn't expected Suker to feel such deep affection for Real Madrid.
For the first time, Florentino Pérez initiated a hug with Suker, whispering; "Son, you are already our pride!"
Suker's lips curled slightly!
Nailed it!"That was really well said. Felt like you moved a lot of people!"
Kaká said admiringly.
Suker shrugged.
Winning support with just words—why not?
Besides, moving Florentino Pérez would make him work harder to get Suker the Ballon d'Or.
Suker wanted to make Florentino Pérez feel like 'I'm your guy, we share glory and shame.'
At Real Madrid, as long as he was tied to Florentino Pérez, no one could touch Suker!
As for the future, that could wait.
Anyway, for the short term, Suker wouldn't leave Real Madrid.
"Three days later, we face Barcelona again!"
Srna suddenly spoke.
Hearing this, everyone in the car covered their foreheads.
Even Suker, after two high-intensity matches, was mentally drained.
For others, it was both physical and mental torture.
This match gave Srna and Benzema some rest and recovery time, but the others were still heavily burdened.
"Barcelona will go all out this time!" Srna said.
"When do they not go all out against us?" Suker retorted.
Kaká: "The good news is Xavi is injured, and Puyol got a red card and a two-match ban!"
Srna: "We're in the same boat. Alonso is injured, Ramos also has a two-match ban... Luckily, Carvalho and Pepe are national teammates, so they have some understanding."
Suker waved it off: "You can't think like that. Think positively!"
Everyone turned to him.
Suker held up two fingers; "Two matches! Two Champions League matches left. Win these two, and we're champions!"
Hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.
Somehow, thinking like this made them feel much lighter.
The three-day preparation period was short, but both teams knew each other well.
Most tactical tricks were ineffective now—it came down to core tactics and player form.
After two grueling matches, both sides had suffered losses.
Barcelona was hit harder. With Xavi injured, losing this key midfielder meant Iniesta couldn't shoulder the midfield burden alone. With Messi dropping back, the frontline attack suffered!
Losing Xavi practically shook Barcelona's foundation.
Compared to Barcelona, Real Madrid was in better shape.
Though the adjustment with Kaká wasn't fully successful, it could barely stabilize things.
Plus, Real Madrid didn't rely heavily on midfield possession—they just needed ball progression, which Kaká, Srna, Marcelo, Khedira, and even Diarra could provide.
So, Barcelona losing Puyol and Xavi shook their core.
Real Madrid had replacements.
Carvalho could cover for Ramos.
Kaká could stabilize the midfield.
Real Madrid's actual combat strength hadn't diminished much.
Therefore, this match tested Barcelona more than Real Madrid!
During these three days, Real Madrid prepared.
Meanwhile, Madrid was buzzing with praise for Suker.
At the 100-point ceremony, Suker's words not only won over fans but also deeply moved media like Marca.
As a Croatian, Suker shouldn't naturally receive so much fan love.
But now, everything had changed.
For Madrid fans, it was like with AC Milan—they utterly adored Suker.
Especially Marca, which lavished praise on him.
"Suker genuinely loves Spain and Real Madrid. Since joining, he's communicated fluently in Spanish, even mastering Madrid's accent and slang! Sometimes talking to him feels like talking to a local Madrilenian."
"He respects us—he visits bullrings and enjoys the activity!"
"He respects us—he's always willing to interact with fans."
"My only regret is that we didn't naturalize Suker earlier for the Spanish national team. With Spain's midfield plus Suker as a super striker, I can't imagine how powerful we'd be!"
—Reported by Marca journalist Carea.
The entire article praised Suker, almost idealizing him. Some parts even felt like over-interpretation to Suker.
But Suker wouldn't refute it—it only helped his standing in Spain.
After this article went viral, soon on YouTube, many so-called 'Suker eyewitness' comments appeared.
A fan named Lexa commented:
"You probably can't imagine, but I see Suker every week. Unlike other stars, he likes cooking himself, so he buys groceries. Coincidentally, I'm a supermarket clerk, so I always see him. Suker feels very approachable. He doesn't act all high and mighty like other stars treating me as just a fan seeking autographs. He talks to me like an old friend, complaining about rising food prices, how Kaká and Srna are emptying his fridge... Haha!! He's such a lovely person."
A fan named Kenny commented:
"I can confirm! I run a butcher shop. A few days ago, Suker bought some beef bones from me, apparently to make tonics for Benzema. Haha, it's so funny. He's really special. He actively asks me how his performance was. I told him 'average,' and he kicked my butt, then bragged about scoring two goals! He really loves life. I like guys like that!"
A user named Danilo's Father commented:
"The Suker I saw might be different from yours because I actually played against him. Of course, Suker wasn't professional then. That match, I taught him a lesson, but he still left an indelible impression on me!"
This comment had the most likes and was the hottest, simply because Suker personally responded.
Suker; "Stop boasting! Bazar, I know it's you! You conceded three goals to me that match!"
Bazar: "Two! It was two! And one assist! I remember clearly!"
Fans who saw this comment thread filled it with laughing emojis.
They never expected Suker to personally appear and comment.
And he even remembered a match from so long ago?
That was hilarious!
In the Real Madrid locker room, Suker grumbled indignantly:
"That Bazar guy, already a father, still loves to boast! Stopping me? With your skills? Hmph! Dream on! If only there was video of that match, I'd dig it out and expose you!"
Watching Suker complain, Srna sighed with emotion.
What a memory!
He didn't remember the details of their Dinamo Zagreb days.
But Suker even recalled matches from further back.
And accurately pinpointed that commenter—it was simply insane!
