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

Atletico Madrid's opening goal came in the 63rd minute of the match.

At the start of the second half, the two sides were evenly matched for a time, with Manchester City seemingly poised to launch a counterattack against Atletico Madrid.

The fans were on edge, feeling like the goal was about to fall at any moment.

As a result, Lu Xiao's superb rabona assist completely crushed Manchester City's comeback momentum.

This caused the fans' hearts, which had just been in their throats, to suddenly drop.

Many neutral fans, especially Real Madrid and Barcelona fans, are hoping that Atletico Madrid and Manchester City will really show their brains.

Ideally, both sides should fight until the last second, with some getting injured and others suspended.

Unfortunately, the show that neutral fans had hoped for was over.

Manchester City collapsed as if they had raised a white flag in surrender.

In the 77th minute, Lu Xiao was surrounded by three players, but he managed to protect the ball in the crowd and retrieve it.

Griezmann receives the ball and passes it across the middle.

Torres made a late run and poked the ball into the net.

3-1!

Atletico Madrid extended their lead, making it 6-3 on aggregate!

This goal has sealed Manchester City's fate; the match is over.

Since Manchester City has no desire to fight, Atletico Madrid also intends to conserve some energy.

Simeone substituted Torres, who had scored twice, and Lu Xiao, who had played two games in a week, bringing on defensive players to strengthen the backline.

After Lu Xiao was substituted, Manchester City seemed to see a glimmer of hope to equalize the score.

Unfortunately, Atletico Madrid's already solid defense became even more impenetrable, leaving Manchester City's world-class stars feeling hopeless.

In addition, goalkeeper Oblak formed a "wall of sighs."

Aguero's desperate shot was easily caught.

The entire Manchester City squad listened with regret as the referee blew his whistle three times.

Beep!

Beep!

beep—

"It's over!!! The match is over!!"

"In a key Champions League quarter-final match, Lu Xiao led Atletico Madrid to a 3-1 victory over Premier League powerhouse Manchester City!"

"6-3 on aggregate! Manchester City eliminated, advancing to the Champions League semi-finals!"

"Lu Xiao has become the second Asian player, after Park Ji-sung, to reach the Champions League semi-finals for three consecutive seasons!"

He Wei had one more thing he didn't say.

Although Park Ji-sung often starts, he is more of a supporting player in Ferguson's lineup, doing the dirty work.

Lu Xiao is different. Whether in Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen, he is the key figure wearing the number 10 jersey! He is a flag bearer for Atletico Madrid!

It's no exaggeration to say that he single-handedly led Atletico Madrid and Bayer Leverkusen into the semi-finals.

However, CCTV commentators tend to be more restrained and find it difficult to go all out and praise the show excessively.

当年曼联确实有点吊，4年3进欧冠决赛，5年4进欧冠4强。

Lu Xiao, on the other hand, represented different teams and made it to the Champions League semi-finals in succession, which is an extreme example of individual heroism.

In He Wei's eyes, Lu Xiao is definitely >>> Park Ji-sung!

After the game, Lu Xiao, wearing a substitute training uniform, was followed by a close-up shot by the director, indicating that he was the MVP of the game.

Soon after, witnessed by UEFA officials, Lu Xiao once again received the Champions League logo trophy.

To be honest, Lu Xiao's house is already overflowing with this thing.

If he plays for a few more seasons, Lu Xiao could even open an online store to sell Champions League MVP trophies.

……

After the competition, PR manager Hannah reviewed the public opinion and then withdrew from all major social media platforms with satisfaction.

After the initial skepticism at the beginning of the season, Lu Xiao is now largely ignored and no one questions or belittles him anymore.

What a joke! A top-tier superstar on par with Messi and Ronaldo, plus his recent heroic performance, anyone who dares to criticize Lu Xiao will be drowned out by fans all over the world!

Even those star players with mixed reputations will be praised if they keep winning.

Not to mention a star player like Lu Xiao, who has almost zero negative reviews.

Even if we take a step back and assume the worst, even Messi and Ronaldo fans in the Barcelona and Real Madrid camps would find it difficult to find a reason to criticize Lu Xiao.

I just hope Lu Xiao can leave Atletico Madrid as soon as possible and join Barcelona/Real Madrid as a teammate.

Only a few voices have emerged online, bringing up the issue of East Asian players and their skin color.

Such extreme white-skinned pigs will be criticized to the point of being unrecognizable even to their own mothers in less than a second.

As for Manchester City fans and the English media, aside from sour praise for Lu Xiao's performance, they mostly criticized Manchester City manager Pellegrini and Sterling for missing a one-on-one opportunity.

Sterling has been bombarded by media outlets such as The Sun and the Manchester Evening News in recent days.

Pellegrini has reportedly been warned by Manchester City's management that he may face the risk of being sacked this season.

The Guardian also gave a special report on the flirtatious relationship between Manchester City and Guardiola.

"...It is reported that current Bayern Munich manager Pep Guardiola is highly likely to take over at Manchester City. The Mansour family has offered a record-breaking coaching contract to the six-time champion manager and promised him blank checks to allow him to sign players freely..."

If Manchester City fails to win any trophies this season, we can expect to see them increase their spending in the transfer window…

Before leaving Madrid, De Bruyne secretly visited Lu Xiao's mansion and had a meal with his good friend.

The two are easily photographed by paparazzi when they go out to restaurants.

Having dinner with rival players after losing a game?

De Bruyne will likely be criticized by Manchester City fans, so he can only visit Lu Xiao's home in a low-key manner.

Lu Xiao simply hired the Michelin-starred chef from Madrid's most popular restaurant to prepare a lavish feast.

I'd also like to invite my good friends Griezmann, Koke, Torres, and a few others to dinner.

De Bruyne also brought his Belgian teammate Kompany.

I originally wanted to invite my former Atletico Madrid teammate Aguero.

Aguero was not in the mood for a party after losing the game and declined the invitation.

They had just fought tooth and nail on the field, but afterwards everyone was all smiles, drinking and chatting together.

Are you confident in beating Barcelona?

Kompany asked with a smile.

Before Lu Xiao could answer, Griezmann laughed first:

"Barcelona, ​​they're just a defeated opponent."

"You're pretty arrogant, aren't you? We'll see about that again at the European Championship!"

"Alright, big guy, I can still get past you then."

In both legs of the match, Kompany severely limited Griezmann's performance.

At his peak, he was Manchester City's starting center-back, with top-notch physique and experience, which made things very difficult for Griezmann.

Kompany wasn't intimidated by Griezmann; he simply said lightly:

"Don't forget, Lu will be on our side then."

"hiss--"

Griezmann instinctively assumed Lu Xiao was his teammate.

Just thinking about Lu Xiao on the other side, France will be facing a star-studded Belgian team with Lu Xiao, De Bruyne, and Hazard...

Although the French team has top players like Giroud, Pogba, Kanté, Evra, and Martial, as well as promising young stars like Mbappé.

But can they really beat Belgium?

This European Championship is France's home game, and getting thrashed by Belgium on their home turf is bound to draw criticism!

With two months to go before the start of the European Championship, Griezmann is already sweating profusely.

"Antoine, what are you panicking about?"

Lu Xiao found Griezmann's expression hilarious.

Why is this guy so cowardly before even starting the fight?

It's worth noting that in the original timeline, the French team made it to the finals.

Portugal, however, was destined for victory, and after many twists and turns, ultimately won the championship, while France fell short in the final.

This European Championship also marks the French team's gradual maturation, taking a step closer to the 2018 World Cup title.

The French team is not weak.

Conversely, Belgium looks like they have a star-studded squad, but they didn't even make it to Wales, where Gareth Bale plays.

Belgium were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Wales 3-1, so you could say they're all show and no substance.

With his addition now, it remains to be seen whether he can help the Belgian team turn their fortunes around.

The group chatted until late before De Bruyne took Kompany back to the hotel. Manchester City left Madrid the next day to focus on the Premier League.

As for Atletico Madrid, their Champions League victory can only be described as a solid step on the road to the treble.

Especially at times like these, we must not let our guard down!

In La Liga Round 33, Lu Xiao sat on the bench and watched the game.

With a rotated lineup, they easily defeated Granada 2-0, remaining just one point behind Barcelona!

"Currently, the top two teams in the La Liga standings, Barcelona at the top and Atletico Madrid in second place, are neck and neck!"

The direct confrontation between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the 35th round of the league may determine the La Liga champion this season!
