Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

"Awesome!!"

"Lu Shen is awesome!!"

It was close to 6 a.m.

Those Eastern fans who got up at 3:45 a.m. to watch the game were completely excited at this moment.

Aside from Arsenal die-hard fans, the vast majority support Lu Xiao.

It was thought that Lu Xiao's Bayer Leverkusen team was about to be eliminated in the first round of the Champions League knockout stage.

With a 0-2 deficit at halftime, a comeback seemed virtually impossible.

At that time, Lu Xiao's fan forum was filled with lamentations, as people had given up all hope for this year's Champions League.

The fans, finding humor in their misery, began to comfort each other.

"It's alright, after all, Luka is only 16 years old and this is his first time participating in the Champions League in his professional career."

"Yes, making it to the knockout stage is already quite an achievement."

"Let's try again next season and go even further."

"I feel like I should switch teams next season; my teammates at Leverkusen are just too bad."

"Isn't my brother Sun strong?"

"Son Heung-min is strong, but what can we do if the backcourt is too weak?"

"Consider this a leveling-up experience. Come back to my Demon Realm and revive the Crimson Demon Dynasty!"

"No way! You've been relegated for several seasons already, why don't you join my team?"

"I think Manchester City is a good team; they can make a lot of money."

"Maybe Florentino will take a liking to him and bring him to the Bernabéu?"

"Cristiano Ronaldo + Lu Xiao + Bale, the scene is too beautiful for me to bear."

"Why can't it be Messi + Neymar + Lu Xiao?"

While a group of fans were debating where Lu Xiao would go next, Arsenal still completely dominated the game.

Leverkusen looked like they had no chance to fight back.

When Lu Xiao scored the first goal, the online forum exploded.

"Holy crap?!"

"Lu Shen's shot!"

"This is okay?"

"As expected of him!"

Immediately afterwards, a superb backheel pass from midfielder Son Heung-min allowed Kiessling to cleverly let the ball through in the middle and equalize the score.

The fans were absolutely furious!

"God Lu!!"

"Beautiful!! Absolutely masterful!"

"Amazing! Incredible!"

Lu Xiao's performance was not what one would expect from a young player.

If it weren't for the slight youthful naiveté in his handsome appearance,

People would believe he's a veteran who's been playing on the court for 10 years.

Zidane and Pirlo are no better than this, right?

However, Wenger is still capable; his substitutions effectively eliminated the possibility of Lu Xiao participating in playmaking and distributing the ball.

This also limited his space to get the ball.

Lu Xiao was contained by four players simultaneously, and Leverkusen's attack went silent once again.

With the score tied at 2-2 after 90 minutes, there was basically no chance of a comeback.

Arsenal will leave the stadium with two away goals.

"This is a good result; maybe they'll even win in North London."

"Regardless of how the second leg goes, Leverkusen will at least be fighting on their feet."

"The outcome is still uncertain; they might actually eliminate Arsenal."

At this moment, the fans are not very confident. Judging from today's performance, Arsenal will definitely have a stronger presence at home.

If you don't win today, it will be very difficult next time.

Just when everyone thought it was all over and the game was about to start, injury time began.

Julian Brandt's insistence on crossing from the byline was almost utterly disheartening.

Until Lu Xiao soared over the paint in a "dunk" style,

A powerful header, seemingly aimed at a mountain, breached Arsenal's defense.

At this moment, domestic fans could no longer contain themselves and roared in celebration.

In many residential communities, or in university dormitories where students had returned to school early, roars of anger erupted at this moment!

"Lu Shen is awesome!"

"Holy crap? That was a killer shot!"

"We turned the tables!"

Trailing 0-2, they turned the tide and won 3-2!

Bayer Leverkusen did it!

Lu Xiao did it!

Two crucial goals and a key attacking play ended Arsenal's reign!

Among the many stars such as Giroud, Özil, Walcott, and Arteta, 16-year-old Chinese-American player Lu Xiao is the most dazzling one!

Even Martin Tyler, a top commentator for Sky Sports who supports Arsenal, couldn't help but praise it:

"What a magnificent player! What a sensational performance!"

"A master player! A phenomenal performance!"

"Ladies and gentlemen! If you don't know him yet, please allow me to introduce him. This is Lu Xiao, a 16-year-old Chinese player who is currently leading the Bundesliga scoring charts!"

He is absolutely Leverkusen's biggest treasure this year! A future superstar poised to shine on the world stage!

No, he has already shone brightly on the Champions League stage!

One person dominated this game!

Lu Xiao's decisive goal completely shattered Arsenal's morale.

As the referee blew the whistle, the score was set at 3-2!

Bayer Leverkusen successfully defended the Bayer Arena!

Without a doubt, with a score of 9.6, Lu Xiao once again won the Champions League Player of the Match award.

He was firmly locked in by close-up shots after the game.

On the Arsenal bench, Özil looked utterly dejected.

He was once a shining star in the Bundesliga, enjoying unparalleled success before making a high-profile transfer to Real Madrid.

As a result, he failed to achieve great results at Real Madrid for several years, and then became a key player at Arsenal.

Looking at Lu Xiao, Özil seemed to see himself from a few years ago.

The Bundesliga's beginner's village really does produce prodigies!

Professor Wenger also had a furrowed brow.

He still doesn't understand why his tactics, which were flawless, were still broken by a 16-year-old.

Who the hell would have thought he could head the ball towards the goal?

For a moment I thought it was Giroud!

Damn it!

However, Wenger admired Lu Xiao more and more the more he looked at him, and he wished he could call the Arsenal board on the spot and ask for a transfer fee to compete for Lu Xiao.

After this Champions League season, clubs that were previously hesitant will surely be more eager to participate.

Such a promising young star would be a huge boost to any club!

Wenger reluctantly walked to the other side and shook hands with Hyypia.

"You guys have a great player, I'm so envious."

"You guys played really well too."

The two smiled at each other, but were actually vying for power behind the scenes.

Bayer Leverkusen beat Arsenal 3-2 in the first leg, and they certainly won't be satisfied with the second leg.

It's bound to be a fierce bayonet battle!

……

In the post-match press conference, Wenger simply admitted:

"My tactics weren't too bad; we just lost to Lu Xiao, who was in great form."

Back at home, we'll find a way to limit him.

Bayer Leverkusen coach Sasha was not to be outdone:

"Oh? It seems like the whole world wants to know how to counter Lu, but no one has succeeded yet. He always manages to deliver his best performance at crucial moments."

Arsenal suffer a shock defeat away from home! A 2-0 lead turns into a crushing loss! A phenomenal performance from the young Chinese-American player proves invaluable!

3-2 comeback victory! Bayer Leverkusen defends their home ground and defeats Arsenal!

"A Second Comeback! 16-Year-Old Chinese-American Director Stages a Dramatic Turnaround!"

The following day, this most exciting match in the Champions League attracted a huge amount of attention.

Even on Weibo, a Chinese-language online forum, there are three entries related to Lu Xiao's name trending.

Accompanying these entries were widely circulated videos of the Leverkusen locker room.

After defeating Arsenal, Lu Xiao took a selfie with his phone, capturing the chaotic scene in the locker room.

"Leverkusen Allez——"

"Leverkusen!!!"

While his teammates were singing wildly, Julian Brandt, a blond foreigner, leaned close to Lu Xiao's phone camera and shouted in broken Chinese:

"Lu Xiao, New Zealand Dollars—"
