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

"Just as we predicted before the match, Real Madrid has become dominant this season, and they are definitely the biggest favorites to win the title."

Despite Bayer Leverkusen's surprising victory over Barcelona in the quarterfinals,

The gap between them and Real Madrid on paper is still quite large.

The first leg of the match also demonstrated this point.

When the BBC trio is paired with a world-class midfield, Bayer Leverkusen's weak defense simply cannot withstand Real Madrid's attacking firepower.

The 4-1 scoreline is a true reflection of the relative strengths of both sides.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Bayer Leverkusen will also be defeated by Real Madrid in the second leg, ending their Champions League run in the semi-finals.

Based on Bayer Leverkusen's current squad, they are capable of reaching the Champions League semi-finals and maintaining their Bundesliga title hopes.

Bayer Leverkusen have undoubtedly been successful this season, and they are fully capable of achieving this result.

To everyone's surprise,

Despite falling far behind, Bayer Leverkusen's key player Lu Xiao has not given up!

He was clearly unhappy with being eliminated so easily.

This young player with a strong heart still chose to charge forward alone!

Their elegant dance moves, imbued with an indomitable fighting spirit, wreaked havoc in Real Madrid's midfield and defense.

Did Real Madrid make any obvious defensive mistakes? No.

Khedira, Modric, Varane, Ramos, Casillas, they have all done their best.

However, this 16-year-old prodigy was a cut above the rest, turning the Bernabéu into his personal stage and this Champions League semi-final into a one-man show.

Spin, dribble, break through,

Finally, a brilliant backheel strike brought the solo attack to a perfect close!

All I can say is that he truly deserves to be the 2013 Puskás Prize winner.

This goal is a strong contender for the 2014 Puskás Award.

To achieve this much in his very first professional season...

I believe many fans, like myself, are looking forward to Lu Xiao's future performances...

Judging from the article alone, someone unfamiliar with the situation might think it was a pro-Leverkusen German media outlet.

The content, filled with praise, actually came from Marca, Real Madrid's mouthpiece and a staunch Madrid media outlet.

This is enough to prove that Lu Xiao brought a tremendous shock to Madrid in this Champions League semi-final.

The "Oriental Magician" scores! Real Madrid 4-2 Bayer Leverkusen, with the second leg still uncertain.

A detailed analysis of Bayer Leverkusen's key player: without him, Real Madrid would have already secured the final.

"A Chinese player saved Bayer Leverkusen, keeping the last glimmer of hope alive!"

After a thrilling match, German media outlets were all reporting on it.

Despite Leverkusen's heavy defeat, this was the most spirited match played by a Bundesliga team this year.

In contrast, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund were completely outmatched by La Liga teams.

German netizens are also expressing their amazement.

"Well done, Leverkusen! Keep it up for the second leg!"

"The fringe youth academy team, rejected by Bayern Munich, became Bayer Leverkusen's ultimate star player!"

"Unfortunately, Leverkusen can only rely on a 16-year-old player, but fortunately, they have Lu Xiao to look forward to!"

"If you haven't watched the game, I suggest you go watch it. You'll definitely give Lu Xiao a thumbs up when you get back."

"Prediction: Lu will surpass Messi and Ronaldo!"

"Just when you think the quarterfinals are Lu Xiao's limit, he can still surprise you!"

Crazy Bundesliga fans are flooding Twitter with posts; you'd think Bayer Leverkusen had won.

That doesn't matter; Lu Xiao's performance was enough to drive fans wild.

However, while the outside world was buzzing with discussion about the game, Lu Xiao had no time to rest.

The day after returning to the small town of Leverkusen,

The team has resumed its intensive daily training.

The two-legged match between Real Madrid and a Bundesliga game is interspersed.

Bundesliga Round 32: Bayer Leverkusen vs. Eintracht Frankfurt.

Considering the crucial second leg, the coaching staff opted for a partially rotated lineup for this league match.

Lu Xiao, who has been playing continuously for almost a month, needs a break.

It's a pity that Lu Xiao's league goal tally remains at 38, two goals away from the 40-goal record.

With only three rounds left in the Bundesliga, Lu Xiao may not be able to break the record.

"It's okay, the record isn't important. I want to be fully rested for the match against Real Madrid next week."

Bayer Leverkusen's performance was commendable despite the defeat; both Spanish and German media outlets praised the team's spirit.

Lu Xiao was simply unwilling to accept it!

A loss is a loss!

Next time we're playing at home, we're determined to win!

Driven by his obsession with Real Madrid, goal records are not important; there will be other opportunities later.

Lu Xiao's body couldn't handle playing two matches in a week, so he voluntarily requested a rest.

Fortunately, Leverkusen's teammates were strong enough, and Frankfurt was not strong enough.

The team successfully defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 2-0, maintaining their one-point lead over Bayern Munich.

Bayern Munich also thrashed Werder Bremen 5-2 this round, keeping the title race alive.

The Bundesliga title race has entered its final, intense stage.

"After 32 rounds, the German league has basically settled."

The current top four teams in the standings are Bayer Leverkusen, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Schalke 04...

Schalke 04 leads 5-pointers against 5th-placed Wolfsburg.

With two rounds remaining in the league, it will be very difficult for Wolfsburg to stage a comeback.

The Champions League spots for next season are basically set.

The only remaining suspense in the Bundesliga is who will ultimately win the championship.

Anything can happen in the final two rounds...

After all, two years ago, Manchester City staged a 9-3-2-0 miracle, securing the Premier League title in the final second.

It's unlikely that the Bundesliga results will be revealed until the very last round.

"...the next two rounds,

Bayern Munich's opponents are Hamburg and Stuttgart;

Hamburg has already been relegated two rounds early, while Stuttgart is safe from relegation.

Neither team will pose a significant threat, and barring any unforeseen circumstances, Bayern Munich has a high probability of securing 6 points.

Let's look at Bayer Leverkusen again, their Bundesliga match against Borussia Dortmund in round 33;

The final Bundesliga match is against Werder Bremen!

Both teams are relatively stronger, and Werder Bremen's points total still gives them a chance to qualify for the Europa League, so their fighting power is definitely greater.

Therefore, the suspense will likely remain until the final round.

Bayer Leverkusen also faces pressure from the German Cup and the Champions League.

For teams with a thin roster, this will likely require some compromises…

Bayer Leverkusen may appear to be competing on all three fronts, but in reality, they don't have the strength to contend for titles on all three.

It may be necessary to abandon one or even two lines to focus on securing the championship in one line.

During this period, the coaching staff and management have also been working overtime to hold meetings and discuss this issue.

At the beginning of the season, who could have imagined that Bayer Leverkusen would be competing for titles on three fronts?

Lu Xiao has taken this team to a level that is beyond their reach.

"Or let's give up on the German Cup and the Champions League, and focus all our efforts on the league, at least to win one title."

After careful consideration, head coach Hyypia presented his final conclusion.

This is the most reasonable choice.

It's already difficult for a team to overturn a deficit against Real Madrid in the Champions League, let alone reach the final. The chances of winning the championship are slim.

They still have to face Werder Bremen in the German Cup; only by getting past Werder Bremen can they reach the final.

If they go all out against Werder Bremen, it could affect the last two rounds of the league.

The next opponent is Borussia Dortmund. With two matches in a week, the first priority will definitely be to play the main team against Borussia Dortmund!

This is the only reasonable option.

Otherwise, Leverkusen will be back to where they were 12 years ago and repeat the mistakes of the "King of Three Runners-up".

"Well then, we'll be facing Real Madrid in four days anyway."

Let's give it our all for now!

If we beat Real Madrid and reach the Champions League final... there's no reason not to go for the title, right?

Although they were down by a large margin of 4-1 in the first leg,

Lu Xiao's unwavering spirit ultimately gave everyone a glimmer of hope.

4-2 is a really ambiguous score!

"They've gone mad, they've all gone mad."

Hyypia saw the CEO, Sasha, and the rest of the coaching staff looking at each of them with a gleam in their eyes!

All I could see in their eyes was one word—revenge!

Hypia gritted his teeth and slammed his fist on the conference table.

"Let's give it our all! Playing against Real Madrid at home!"

Fuck them!
