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

Beep!

Beep!

beep—

Three whistles signal the end of the game.

Cristiano Ronaldo was still controlling the ball in the attacking third when he heard the whistle and kicked it into the stands in frustration.

He muttered a curse under his breath: "Puta! Fuck!!"

He looked up at the scoreboard, the cold numbers piercing his heart.

All our efforts were in vain!

They thought they could get revenge, easily defeating their opponents away from home, starting a legendary season for Real Madrid, winning the treble and the Ballon d'Or, and returning to the peak of their career.

Real Madrid's hopes were dashed by Lu Xiao's hat-trick; despite their best efforts, they still couldn't overcome the formidable Bayer Leverkusen.

If Bayer Leverkusen's defenders hadn't made mistakes last season, Real Madrid wouldn't have even reached the final...

Cristiano Ronaldo looked at the young Asian men celebrating with their teammates not far away, gritting his teeth.

I had exchanged jerseys with him before, but I wasn't in the mood for it at all this time. I stormed off to the locker room in a huff.

"Cristiano!! Could you please do an interview...?"

"Fuck off!!"

"???"

Reporters at the scene were about to approach Ronaldo for an interview when Ronaldo angrily shouted them away.

This left the reporter somewhat questioning the meaning of life:

"Did he just say the F-word? You all heard it, right?"

"Yes, it seems like they did say that."

Pushing Ronaldo to this point is something even Messi would find difficult to do in today's football world.

Only Lu Xiao could do it.

"That Asian guy seems to really be Cristiano Ronaldo's nemesis."

"We'll see in the second leg. We might not be able to win next time we go to the Bernabéu."

"In any case, Leverkusen should have no problem qualifying."

"Yes, two consecutive wins have eliminated two of the strongest teams. As long as we don't lose to Roma, qualifying is basically guaranteed."

The German journalists present were also delighted. After the "group of death" in Group C was determined, everyone was a little worried about Leverkusen's situation.

A slight misstep could lead to elimination.

There are too many teams that perform brilliantly in their first Champions League season but collapse the following season.

Bayer Leverkusen seems to be a team that doesn't appear to have any of the pedigree of a top club.

However, their consecutive victories against Liverpool and Real Madrid in the new season have greatly exceeded the expectations of the world!

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti was also surprised at the post-match press conference:

"Actually, I thought we could win away today. We have prepared enough tactics and studied Leverkusen in depth."

We believe we know the weaknesses of each member of this team very well.

However, Lu's performance was still outstanding; he was an X-factor.

An Pang leaned back in his chair, looking helpless.

Tactically, he absolutely crushed the Leverkusen coach; Hyypia and Sasha combined were not as good as Ancelotti.

But even a tactical master is helpless against a cheat like Lu Xiao.

This led Ancelotti to even doubt himself: was he really a world-class tactical mastermind?

Ancelotti is a bit disheartened. If he can't beat Leverkusen in the second leg, he might as well retire for a while after this season.

……

Immediately after the match, it wasn't the German media that gloated, but the Catalan media.

Barcelona's mouthpiece, Mundo Deportivo, posted a post-match poster on Twitter with the following text:

Bayer Leverkusen 3-2 Real Madrid!

Cristiano Ronaldo went cold, Real Madrid couldn't secure a 2-0 victory, what's wrong with this Madrid team?

From Barcelona's perspective, Real Madrid should have easily crushed Bayer Leverkusen.

If they can't beat them, they're just Real Madrid's noobs.

In reality, they didn't take Leverkusen seriously either.

So what if we reached the Champions League semi-finals last season?

Look at Bayer Leverkusen's lineup; their attack is decent, with the Belgian duo.

Who are the players in the midfield and defense?

Harry Maguire and Virgil van Dijk are minor players scouted from the English Championship and Scottish Premiership; I've never even heard of them!

Maguire's slow turning speed, Van Dijk's reckless attacks, Rüdiger's injury, and Ake's lack of experience...

The defense looks to be even more problematic than last season.

How could Real Madrid possibly lose to such a "weak Bundesliga team"?

"If it were Barcelona, ​​they probably would have won by a large margin by now."

At the end of the tweet, Mundo Deportivo didn't forget to praise Barcelona.

With the MSN trio performing exceptionally well this season, Barcelona has maintained a perfect record in La Liga, unleashing their full attacking power.

Barcelona fans and media alike are full of confidence in their performance this season.

The glory of the six-time champions seems about to be easily overturned by the MSN trio, and they will return to their peak!

Real Madrid's media disagreed, with Marca publicly responding after the match.

"...This Leverkusen team demonstrated amazing perseverance to the world during the match."

Key player Lu Xiao proved his worth last season and at the World Cup.

At 17, in his second year in the Bundesliga, he didn't hit the rookie wall; instead, he displayed a more composed performance and dominance on the field.

It's hard to imagine how terrifying this monstrous star would become if it continued to grow.

Bayer Leverkusen is not the weak team that some tabloid claims.

On the contrary, they will remain a force to be reckoned with in the Champions League this season!

To make Real Madrid's loss less embarrassing, Real Madrid's mouthpiece spared no effort in praising their opponent in this match.

And that's certainly true; Leverkusen's performance has truly impressed fans worldwide.

Former German national team coach and legend Jürgen Klinsmann commented on Twitter:

"This is Bayer Leverkusen! They are no weaker than Real Madrid and Liverpool! I not only believe they can get out of the group stage, but I also believe they can make it all the way to the semi-finals, just like last season."

The final might be a bit uncertain, but reaching the semifinals should be achievable with a bit of effort.

Matthäus praised Lu Xiao to the skies:

"Last season's Bundesliga Golden Boot winner, despite being targeted in every aspect this season, has still delivered a different performance."

Lu Xiao seems to have made significant progress in passing and playmaking this season.

Many of his brilliant passes were masterful.

Regarding shooting, he still managed to complete a hat-trick despite being heavily marked by the opponent.

Doesn't this further prove Lu's ability?

The rookie wall only restricts ordinary rookies.

Lu is no ordinary person; he is a future legend…

Matthäus gave it a very high rating.

Ironically, German public opinion did not think the assessment was excessive; on the contrary, they thought it was reasonable.

"That's right, I said it last season, Lue is really strong!"

"Chinese people are awesome!"

"He's the savior from the East! A hat-trick against Real Madrid, what more proof do you need?!"

"Bayer Leverkusen are true gods!"

……

From an unbeaten run of 3 rounds at the beginning of the season to a current 4-game winning streak,

Leverkusen has indeed emerged from the shadows and begun to race ahead on the high speed.

In the first round of the German Cup, Bayer Leverkusen easily defeated third-division side Wadgården 2-0, utilizing a youth academy and reserve squad.

Achieve a 5-game winning streak across all competitions!

Just three days later, in the sixth round of the Bundesliga, Bayer Leverkusen faced Paderborn.

Facing the team that was promoted to the 2. Bundesliga last season,

Leverkusen showed no mercy, giving Paderborn a taste of the intensity of the Bundesliga.

"Sun—a clean and decisive long-range shot!!!"

"Bayer Leverkusen takes a 1-0 lead, assisted by Lu Xiao's calm cross pass!"

In the 12th minute of the first half, Bayer Leverkusen led Paderborn 1-0.

"Goal again! This time it's Lu's shot!! He controlled the ball inside the box, dribbled past his opponent, and poked it into the bottom corner!!"

15 minutes, Leverkusen 2-0 Paderborn.

It was October 4th. After scoring a goal, Lu Xiao quickly ran in front of the camera, revealing the T-shirt underneath.

Chinese fans are still watching the Bundesliga on TV.

Who would have thought that Lu Xiao's white t-shirt actually had a familiar five-star red flag printed on it!

There are two more lines of Chinese text below!

Happy Birthday to our Motherland! Happy National Day Holiday to all Chinese People!

The topic immediately exploded on Weibo.

The hashtag quickly rose to the top of the trending searches within an hour.

#LuXiaoNationalDayGreetings

Who will still call him a "banana" (a person who is Westernized) from now on?

He is clearly a descendant of the Yellow Emperor!
