The original timeline is the 2013-2014 season.

Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso will miss the Champions League final due to accumulated yellow cards.

Ultimately, they faced Atletico Madrid in the final.

Although Real Madrid won the title,

The controversy surrounding Xabi Alonso's absence continues to be widely discussed.

After a whole season of hard work, he missed the most important match because of yellow cards in the group stage and knockout stage.

This is unfair to many defensive midfielders and defenders.

therefore,

The controversy sparked by this incident has drawn the attention of UEFA.

Ultimately, the Champions League rule changes were conceived.

Starting from the 2014-2015 season, after the quarterfinals,

All accumulated yellow cards will be reset to zero starting from the semi-finals.

Unless a player receives a direct red card in the semi-finals, they will not miss the Champions League final, even if they receive yellow cards per game.

At least in Lu Xiao's subconscious,

That's how the Champions League rules are.

However, today, he suddenly realized something.

The butterfly effect he brought about changed many things, including the "yellow card reset rule"!

UEFA did discuss the issue of reform after the Champions League ended last season.

Real Madrid narrowly defeated Bayer Leverkusen, with Modric and Alonso both suffering injuries or suspensions.

This led to his absence from the Champions League final.

They ultimately lost to Atletico Madrid in the final, missing out on their rightful 10th title.

However, after several meetings and discussions, UEFA did not change the rules.

The Champions League rules are the same as before 2013!

Lu Xiao led his team to eliminate Barcelona and advance to the Champions League final.

He will also miss his first Champions League final!

……

Is Lu still not saying anything?

"There's nothing we can do; this was a huge blow to him."

"It's not just Lou; Harry and Nathan are also in low spirits."

"If it were you, you'd be even worse than them."

Bayer Leverkusen players' canteen

Lu Xiao ate mechanically, his eyes vacant.

His teammates, including Julian Brandt, De Bruyne, Son Heung-min, and Firmino, were all very worried about him.

They whispered among themselves.

"We need to find a way to cheer him up... How about introducing Lu to that supermodel you talked about last time, to make him happy?"

"Huh? I finally managed to get their phone number."

"In a crucial moment, shouldn't we think of our brother, Bro?"

"Fine, fine! I'll let it slide since Lue always passes me the ball... oh damn it!"

Julian Brandt gritted his teeth in agony.

For Lu Xiao's sake, she chose to reluctantly give up her love.

"What are you talking about? I'm not deaf, stop talking nonsense."

Lu Xiao's eyes regained their sharpness, and he glared at the few idiots with annoyance.

Many fans have a romanticized view of professional athletes.

Those who actually interact with these professional players every day will know that...

Especially those so-called big-name stars,

They've been involved in football since childhood, but have received virtually no formal education.

They're all incredibly stupid in private.

Like a child who never grows up.

Sometimes you can see their "ingenious ideas" in the locker room.

Lu Xiaozhen felt like she was surrounded by brilliant minds, and her aversion to stupidity was about to flare up.

"Lu, how about I introduce her to you? She's incredibly hot, smoking hot!"

"No, keep it for your own amusement."

Lu Xiao has no interest in these trivial matters right now.

Having stumbled their way into the Champions League final, but unable to play in the final, and with a high probability of losing the title.

Lu Xiao could only do his best to ensure that he could keep the Bundesliga and German Cup titles in his hands.

So much so that they had just returned victorious from Barcelona,

On the third day after returning to Leverkusen,

The 33rd round of the Bundesliga is about to begin.

Bayer Leverkusen vs Hoffenheim.

Bayern Munich defeated Freiburg 2-1.

Leverkusen's only way to secure 3 points is to defeat Hoffenheim.

Otherwise, if any points are lost,

Bayern Munich is aiming to catch up in points again.

There is one round left in the league.

The championship they fought so hard for is about to be handed over again.

Nobody wants to see this happen.

The night before the match,

The Bayer Leverkusen coaching staff is still working late into the night to finalize tomorrow's starting lineup.

What's rather strange is that

During the meeting, the office lights were on but the office was empty.

Several coaches were gathered in the outdoor smoking area.

A group of grown men, cigarettes dangling from their lips, all looked gloomy.

"How should we arrange this? I really don't want the boys to take any risks."

"But what if using the full rotation lineup fails? All the hard work of the entire season would be wasted!"

"Sasha, you're gambling with your entire playing career!"

"It's the final stretch, hanging in there isn't a bad idea!"

Just as Sasha and Hypia were arguing heatedly,

They suddenly saw Lu Xiao walking by with a bag on her back.

"Lu? Still here so late? Still training?"

"Yes, I just finished extra practice."

"I already told you, you're prohibited from extra training lately; the risk of muscle strain is too high. Have the physical therapist help you relax more tomorrow..."

Hypia was deeply worried.

To his surprise, Lu Xiao looked up, staring at him with unwavering determination and piercing eyes.

"Coach, I want to play."

"Nonsense!"

"coach!"

"But……"

"Never mind, Sammy."

Sasha Lewandowski tugged at Hyypia.

"Let him start. Otherwise, he won't get past this hurdle."

"Fuck! I don't care anymore, if you want to do whatever you want, then do whatever you want! Damn it!"

Hypia couldn't persuade these two lunatics.

He shook his head and turned to leave.

Sasha ignored him and looked directly at Lu Xiao.

"Lu, since you're physically fine, then give it your all! Leave no regrets!"

"Yes, no regrets!"

……

"...This is the penultimate round of the Bundesliga, and Bayern Munich just defeated Freiburg in yesterday's match."

Currently, Bayern Munich has temporarily taken the top spot in the Bundesliga standings, leading Bayer Leverkusen by 4 points.

If Leverkusen drop points today

They will miss a golden opportunity to win the championship! It will be very difficult to come back in the final round.

Today's game is crucial!

Therefore we see,

Bayer Leverkusen's starting lineup was largely rotated, with the exception of their key midfielder and forward, Lu Xiao, who started the game!

He has played two matches a week for three consecutive weeks, playing the entire game!

Lu Xiao has the highest attendance rate in the Bayer Leverkusen squad, with more than 50 appearances across all competitions!

He is undoubtedly the soul of the team!

Lu Xiao's starting appearance truly surprised German media, as well as Chinese media thousands of miles away!

Many fans didn't plan to watch this game.

CCTV5 had no intention of broadcasting it.

Because Lu Xiao started,

CCTV5 temporarily canceled the La Liga Real Madrid match and chose to broadcast this Bundesliga game instead.

His epic performance in the Champions League semi-final a few days ago remains a hot topic in the football world.

The victory that led Bayer Leverkusen to eliminate Barcelona will go down in history.

Unfortunately, they themselves were also severely weakened, with several key players suspended or injured and unable to participate in the final.

This includes Lu Xiao.

He can only focus all his efforts on the league and try to win this Bundesliga title!

"Alright, let the match begin!"

Bayer Leverkusen took the lead and launched the attack!

Lu Xiao seemed quite lively!

Kiessling, header pass,

Lu Xiao receives the ball...and takes a long-range shot!!!

Great shot!! That was a very high quality shot!

Less than a minute into the game, Lu Xiao earned Bayer Leverkusen a corner kick!

"Julian Brandt... attempted a cut inside from the right wing and passed the ball back to Lu Xiao!"

Another shot on goal!

Oh dear, so close!

"...Leverkusen, intercept the ball in the attacking third and launch a quick counter-attack!!"

Kiessling!! His header was saved!

Hoffenheim cleared the ball... but didn't clear it far.

Second landing point!

Lu Xiao!! Stop the ball! Get past him!!

A right-footed, mid-air strike!

Goal! Goal!

World wave!

Bayer Leverkusen takes the lead!

Less than 10 minutes into the game,

Lu Xiao's powerful volley was a powerful and intimidating shot.

The entire Hoffenheim squad looked deathly pale.

I was horrified!

The Lu Xiao before my eyes is practically a Diablo god crawled out of hell.

Carrying the resentment of missing out on the Champions League final,

I'm so angry but have nowhere to vent.

It all poured down on the unlucky Hoffenheim!
