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

"Holy crap?"

To be honest, Lu Xiao was also a little puzzled.

He was busy with the competition and fighting on two fronts, and he did neglect the situation in other groups.

Upon closer inspection, it becomes clear that Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Real Madrid were all capable of finishing first in their group.

They actually came in second in their group!

What's most surprising is Group C of the Champions League, the group of death.

Roma, Chelsea, and Atletico Madrid are in the same group.

Most media outlets are predicting that Chelsea and Atletico Madrid will advance together.

I never expected Roma to be the group winner.

3-0 victory over Chelsea, 2-0 victory over Atletico Madrid!

"Is this outrageous?"

Lu Xiao recalled carefully and realized that many years ago, he had indeed "predicted" this season.

Roma emerged as the biggest dark horse, defying expectations and performing exceptionally well despite lacking any well-known superstars.

8强战首回合1-4不敌巴萨的情况下，次回合竟然3-0干翻了巴萨！

They've made it to the Champions League semi-finals!

They almost upset Liverpool at their peak in the Champions League semi-final!

As for PSG's victory over Bayern Munich and Tottenham's victory over Real Madrid, they weren't that surprising.

Paris Saint-Germain boasts numerous superstars such as Di Maria, Cavani, and Neymar.

There are also rising stars like Mbappe.

It's not surprising that they beat Bayern Munich.

Tottenham were also at their peak, with Harry Kane, Son Heung-min, Dele Alli, and Eriksen.

They defeated defending champions Real Madrid 3-1 at home.

They played a thrilling and exhilarating match at White Hart Lane.

Arsenal, Tottenham, Manchester United, Manchester City...

After years of decline, the Premier League

It seems to be gradually regaining the feeling of its heyday.

La Liga, on the other hand, has seen a decline due to the departure of stars like Lu Xiao and Neymar.

In addition, Messi and Ronaldo are getting older.

It seems that its competitiveness is gradually decreasing.

Of course, Lu Xiao did not lower his guard against Real Madrid in the slightest.

Logically, this should be the last year of their "three-peat" in the Champions League.

They thwarted their first title at Atlético Madrid.

Real Madrid won the title again the following year.

What about this year?

With mixed feelings, Lu Xiao watched the Champions League draw process from his mansion in North London.

When Ukrainian football legend Andriy Shevchenko smiled and pulled out the slip of paper that read "Arsenal FC,"

Lu Xiao already had a bad feeling.

My luck with fortune has never been good!

"really!"

Next, Shevchenko felt around inside the balls and finally pulled one out.

Squeeze the small ball open.

Slowly unfold the paper strip.

FC Bayern Munich

Bayern Munich!

The curse of three years at Barcelona and five years at Bayern Munich continues!

"No!!!"

"No way, it's Bayern again?"

"I'm sick of seeing this lottery."

"It's a conspiracy, it's definitely a conspiracy!"

Arsenal fans are also in despair.

Sure enough, the incident made headlines in the sports section the following day.

Arsenal face another nemesis, Bayern Munich's chances of advancing surge.

0% win rate! Bayern Munich players have already started celebrating.

……

"Lu, do you think we can beat Bayern?"

"Yeah, Lu, why do I feel so uncertain?"

"It's Bayern again... sigh."

Lu Xiao was speechless.

Why are they all crowding around me?

Guys, this is only halftime of the game. You guys have to play again later!

December 9th, the 16th round of the Premier League matchday.

南安普顿vs阿森纳

Having just played a Champions League match away from home, the two games were only two days apart.

Arsenal rushed back from Seville and flew directly to Southampton.

After a long and tiring journey,

The key players have hardly had enough rest.

Wenger can only field a rotated squad against Southampton.

So far in the first half,

The score was tied 1-1.

Arsenal's 15-game winning streak is about to end, breaking the record.

Lu Xiao was placed on the bench, and he was really worried for his teammates.

I didn't expect these guys to be so uninterested in the current match.

Instead, they're starting to worry about the Champions League knockout stage three months from now, and about Bayern Munich?

What's there to worry about with Bayern? They're just a defeated opponent.

Lu Xiao had not experienced the previous humiliation of Arsenal being repeatedly thrashed by Bayern Munich.

Naturally, they couldn't understand the anxiety their teammates felt.

Last season, they were eliminated by Bayern Munich, stopping in the round of 16.

Bayern Munich went too far.

The score was 5-1 in the first round and 5-1 in the second round.

They won 10-2 over two legs!

Arsenal have been thoroughly thrashed.

The players who participated in that match are the same people who are currently in the locker room.

Özil, Ramsey, Giroud, Sanchez, Koscielny, Cech, Mustafi...

Of course, this also includes head coach Arsène Wenger.

After those two matches, Wenger almost lost his job, and Sanchez even got into a fight with his teammates, which was very unpleasant.

If it weren't for Lu Xiao coming to the rescue this season...

Arsenal may have already fallen apart.

"I guarantee we can beat Bayern, guys. Can't we just focus on this game first? Do you expect me to do everything?"

"Really? They can really beat Bayern?"

"Lu, don't lie to us."

"When have I ever lied to you? I said we'd at least reach the finals this season!"

Lu Xiao's boundless enthusiasm made the entire locker room much brighter.

Arsenal teammates looked at each other, then broke into smiles.

I believe you.

"Lu has always kept his word, and I believe him."

"Now I can rest assured."

Wenger spent a long time outside discussing today's match strategy with the coaching staff, and also tried to boost morale.

When they pushed open the door, they found that the players were all radiant and full of fighting spirit, a stark contrast to the team in the first half.

"What's going on?"

Wenger scratched his head, puzzled.

After the second half started, I watched helplessly as a group of young men fought like tigers.

The 16-year-old Saka is getting more and more used to the Premier League. After a series of breakthroughs on the right wing, he suddenly cuts inside and curls a left-footed shot!

"pretty!!"

Lu Xiao sat on the bench, happily applauding his teammates' performance.

Ultimately, goals from Saka and Welbeck, two black substitutes, secured victory.

Arsenal defeated Southampton 2-1 away from home.

16-game winning streak to lead the Premier League!

"Holy crap? They really have a 16-game winning streak?"

Looking at his teammates' performance,

Lu Xiao couldn't help but dream about it.

I thought Arsenal was about to collapse again, but it seems like everyone is still pretty strong.

Want to go big?

This season, let's aim for that unparalleled Grand Slam!

An unprecedented seven-time champion!

Lu Xiao was already itching to try it just by thinking about it!
