After Paris Saint-Germain was removed from the list, I led England to victory!

London, Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal host Dortmund.

The Champions League theme song resounded throughout this modern football mecca.

In the stands, waves of red and white rippled, and a giant TIFO displayed the Arsenal crest, creating a vibrant atmosphere.

In the fourth round of the Champions League group stage, Arsenal will host Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Dortmund once again.

It's still a battle for first place, still a clash of youthful energy.

Both teams boast a large number of highly sought-after young talents, including Haaland, Bellingham, Saka, and Yan Yuan.

The atmosphere was equally electric inside Sky Sports' studio. Martin Taylor and his partner Gary Neville were ready.

"Good evening, welcome to the Emirates Stadium! Tonight is destined to be a thrilling match! Arsenal vs. Borussia Dortmund, two teams with dazzling attacking prowess!" Martin Tyler's voice was filled with anticipation. "Gary, on Dortmund's side, although captain Marco Reus is on the bench, the young star duo of Haaland and Bellingham have already shone brightly in the Bundesliga. Just in the last round, when Dortmund faced Mönchengladbach, Bellingham assisted Haaland to score the crucial winning goal. Their talent is undeniable."

Gary Neville nodded.

"That's right, Haaland's form is as terrifying as ever, and Bellingham's coverage and ability to advance the ball in midfield are among the best in the Bundesliga."

However, on Arsenal's side, Yan Yuan's attacking line is equally impressive. Saka scored twice in the last round of the EFL Cup, and Yan Yuan has scored twice in three consecutive games. I can only say, there are no geniuses, only more geniuses!

With the referee's whistle, the match officially began.

The match started with a high-speed, back-and-forth offensive.

Arsenal, playing at home, launched a fierce attack on Dortmund's territory right from the start, fueled by a deafening roar of cheers.

Their high pressing made it very difficult for Dortmund to play the ball out from their own half.

In the 3rd minute, Arsenal won a corner kick.

Odegaard took a tactical corner kick, combined with Saka, and then lobbed the ball into the penalty area.

Chaos erupted near the penalty spot as players from both sides tangled together, with Dortmund goalkeeper Bürki attempting to come out but failing to reach the ball.

The ball bounced up in the chaos!

In the blink of an eye, a red figure shot up like a rocket!

Yan Yuan astutely judged the landing point correctly.

Using his amazing jumping ability and height advantage, he managed to win the first ball despite being sandwiched between two tall center-backs, Hummels and Süle.

Instead of attacking directly, he saw a better opportunity!

"Corner kick! Chaos erupts in Dortmund's penalty area! Yan Yuan heads the ball across!" Martin Tyler spoke rapidly.

Yan Yuan made a clear head-flipping motion in the air, accurately passing the ball towards the edge of the penalty area.

There, Erdgog appeared in the vacuum zone like a ghost.

The Norwegian midfielder made almost no adjustments, meeting the ball head-on before it even hit the ground.

He swung his golden left foot and volleyed a shot!

The ball, like a cannonball, traced a low trajectory, passed through the crowd in the penalty area at an astonishing speed, and flew straight into the bottom right corner of the goal.

Although goalkeeper Bürki made a save attempt, the ball was too fast and the angle was too tricky, and he could only watch the ball go into the net.

"Goooooooooooooal!!! Martin Ødegaard!!! World-class goal!!! A beautiful volley! A header from Yan Yuan! Arsenal have a dream start!" Martin Tyler shouted wildly.

"Look at the one who initiated this attack, Yan Yuan!" Gary Neville immediately added.

"His header in the penalty area was priceless! In such a crowded environment, he accurately found Odegaard, demonstrating his unparalleled aerial ability and football intelligence! 1-0! And the game has only been going for less than 4 minutes!"

The entire Emirates Stadium erupted in cheers.

Odegaard excitedly slid on his knees in celebration, only to be overwhelmed by his teammates who swarmed around him.

Yan Yuan ran out of the restricted area laughing, and was the first to rush to Odegaard's side, vigorously rubbing his hair and shouting loudly.

"Beautiful pass, Martin! That shot was fucking awesome!"

"Captain, that was a beautiful header pass!"

On the sidelines, Nagelsmann excitedly pumped his fist in celebration. This start was more perfect than expected, and their homework on Dortmund had not been in vain.

Dortmund did not panic after conceding the goal. They quickly regained their composure and began to launch counterattacks by utilizing Haaland and Bellingham as their two key players.

In the 15th minute, Dortmund launched a quick counter-attack.

Bellingham showcased his powerful ball-carrying ability in midfield. He first cleverly dribbled past Pepe's challenge, and then, facing Rice's defense, instead of forcing his way through, he delivered an extremely subtle through ball that precisely pierced through Arsenal's defense!

"Bellingham! Beautiful breakaway! Through ball! Bellingham's target is Haaland!!!" Martin Tyler's voice rose.

Haaland is like a supercar that has been started.

He burst into action in an instant, using his speed to overtake Upamecano and create a one-on-one opportunity.

The hearts of all the Arsenal fans in the stadium were in their throats!

"Upamecano has been devoured! Arsenal are in danger! Haaland!" Gary Neville exclaimed.

Facing the onrushing goalkeeper Martinez, Haaland habitually adjusted his footing and unleashed a powerful right-leg shot!

However, perhaps because he hadn't fully gotten into the game yet, or perhaps because Martinez's rush out of the box caused some disruption, Haaland's shot went just wide of the far post.

"My God, Haaland almost scored with that shot. At the Emirates Stadium, God is on Arsenal's side. Although it didn't go in, it was still a very good shot," Neville analyzed.

"Bellingham's pass was truly masterful, but Haaland seems to be having a rough time today."

A gasp of relief and relief rippled through the stands.

Haaland held his head in his hands, staring incredulously at the ball flying out of bounds, his face filled with frustration.

Bellingham waved to him from afar, indicating, "It's alright, come again next time!"

Bellingham and Harland have developed a very good chemistry.

The game was deadlocked, but the pace remained fast.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle in the midfield.

Rice became a shield in Arsenal's midfield, his sweeping and interceptions were crucial.

In the 28th minute, it was Rice who made a clean tackle in midfield, poking the ball away from Brandt's feet.

"Rice! Interception successful! Arsenal have a counter-attack opportunity!!" Martin Tyler shouted.

After receiving the ball, Rice remained very calm. Instead of blindly moving forward, he quickly observed the situation and passed the ball to Ødegaard on the right flank.

After drawing a defender away, Ødegaard didn't hesitate and immediately passed the ball across to the right wing.

There, Yan Yuan had already sped up.

He was like a sharp knife, piercing straight into the heart of Dortmund's defense!

"Yan Yuan gets the ball smoothly and is making a rapid run down the right flank!" Gary Neville's voice became tense.

Yan Yuan received Ødegaard's pass steadily while running.

At this moment, he was blocked by Dortmund's defensive midfielder Emre Can, and there were also players tracking back around him.

It seems there aren't many good ways to handle the ball.

But Yan Yuan made an astonishing decision in a split second.

He used the outside of his right foot to pull the ball back.

The ball obediently rolled to Yan Yuan's height, just past Guerrero who was trying to intercept it!

At the same time, Yan Yuan swiftly performed a 360-degree turn, pivoting on his left foot, as if dancing a ballet.

Next, flick the ball with your toes, and then follow up with a backheel flick.

The ball traced an arc.

The arc passed right over Guerrero's head.

"The Mexican wide-brimmed hat dribble is Neymar's signature move. Yan Yuan has delivered a very beautiful move to get past his opponent. His fancy dribbling is just as pleasing to the eye as Neymar's!" the commentator said.

The entire movement was executed in one smooth motion, full of imagination and rhythm.

Cheers erupted from the stands.

Yan Yuan's turn completely shook off Guerrero's defense, creating valuable shooting space for himself!

"The opportunity is here!" Gary Neville almost stood up.

After Yan Yuan turned around, he didn't make any adjustments, because he had already completely adjusted his pace.

Facing Brandt's cover, he swung his right foot and unleashed a powerful shot with the inside of his foot before Brandt could block him.

The ball shot like an arrow, heading straight for the top left corner of the goal!

Dortmund goalkeeper Bürki made a diving save, his fingertips almost touching the ball, but Yan Yuan's shot was too sharp and too powerful.

The ball grazed the bottom edge of the crossbar and slammed into the net.

"Goooooooooooooal!!! Yan Yuan!!! What a beautiful goal! An incredible individual performance!" Martin Tyler's voice reached its peak. "Mexican wide-brimmed hat, dribbling past his opponent, turning and firing a shot! What a beautiful goal, another top-ten goal!"

"A stroke of genius!" Gary Neville exclaimed excitedly. "From Rice's tackle to Odegaard's quick pass, and then to Yan Yuan's artistic dribbling and composed finish! Arsenal's attack was fluid and seamless. Yan Yuan showed the world why he's a Ballon d'Or favorite! Arsenal 2-0 Dortmund!"

The Emirates Stadium erupted in celebration once again.

Yan Yuan's goal was incredibly inspiring.

He ran through the corner flag area with his arms outstretched and a confident smile on his face, receiving the adoration of the entire stadium.

His teammates rushed over again, Saka jumped onto his back, and Odegaard patted his chest excitedly. Everyone was thrilled by the brilliant goal.

Nagelsmann, standing on the sidelines, excitedly pumped his fist repeatedly and hugged his assistants tightly.

This goal almost perfectly embodies his pursuit of attacking football: fast, efficient, technically sophisticated, and imaginative.

In the remainder of the first half, Dortmund attempted to launch a counterattack, but Arsenal's defense remained solid under the protection of Rice and Xhaka.

Martinez also made a crucial save, thwarting a long-range shot from a Dortmund player.

At the end of the first half, Arsenal led Borussia Dortmund 2-0 at home thanks to a stunning long-range strike from Ødegaard and a brilliant individual performance from Yan Yuan.

Throughout the first half, Arsenal displayed strong control and attacking efficiency, and Yan Yuan, with an assist and an imaginative goal, once again proved that he is the undisputed core of this team.

In the locker room, Nagelsmann will be making further plans for the second half.

Borussia Dortmund, the "Black and Yellows," will not surrender easily.

An even more intense 45 minutes is about to begin.
