"Barcelona not only failed to complete the comeback at home, but also lost to Arsenal 1-4 again.
Arsenal not only ended Camp Nou's four-year unbeaten run in the Champions League, but also created the most disparate semi-final points difference since the Champions League was restructured in 1991. Even looking at the entire history of the Champions League, they are second only to those in 1959-1960. In the 1963-64 season, Frankfurt defeated Glasgow Rangers 12-4 over two legs. In the 1963-64 season, Real Madrid eliminated Zurich with a total score of 8-1 over two legs. In the 1981-1982 season, Bayern defeated CSKA Sofia 7-1 in two legs in the semi-finals.
But what’s interesting is that although Bayern were extremely ferocious in the semi-finals that season, they lost 1-2 to Aston Villa in the final and had to settle for second place. This should be a reminder to Arsenal..."
“This is the third time that a Premier League team and a Bundesliga team have faced off in the Champions League final after Manchester United VS Bayern Munich in the 1998-1999 season and Chelsea VS Bayern Munich in the 2011-2012 season!
The first two wins were in the Premier League, but the process was quite difficult.
Manchester United was still trailing 0-1 when it came to injury time, but it staged a reversal of the century at the last moment. Chelsea even had a penalty shootout with Bayern Munich before winning a thrilling victory. I wonder if Arsenal and Dortmund will win this time. What kind of performance will it bring to us..."
"The most explosive rookie in history, not even the alien Ronaldo, or the basketball god Michael Jordan, did not have such terrifying personal data in his rookie season. Perhaps only Pele, the world champion who scored 36 goals in his first season, can Comparable!
If Lin Yun plays a dominant performance in the Champions League final again, the pressure will come from UEFA, that is, should the Golden Ball be awarded to a young man who has just debuted for half a season? "
The combination of a century-old gunman and the strongest rookie has attracted the attention of almost the entire football world, but the youthful storm Klopp set off in Dortmund cannot be underestimated.
In the 11-12 season, this Hornet beat the Bundesliga leader Bayern to win the championship and the German Cup. The passionate coach and young lineup are all eye-catching, especially Lewandowski's heroic victory in the semi-finals. Sixi's performance in sinking Real Madrid is even more talked about.
Arsenal still have two league games left to play before the Champions League final.
The Gunners, who had basically secured third place in the league, had hidden most of their main players and treated these two games as warm-up matches. Naturally, Lin Yun, a first-level protected animal, could only sit on the bench obediently and could only wait until the last twenty or thirty minutes of the game. Only when there is a chance to appear.
On May 5, Arsenal challenged Queens Park Rangers, who had already been relegated, away from home.
One side has overfulfilled the task of competing for 4 points this season, and the other side has decided to compete with the Premier League for 88 next season. Everyone played a tacit understanding of healthy football without any desire, and it was not until the 60th minute that Gers Vigneault scored the first goal.
Lin Yun came on as a substitute in the 70th minute and received a pass from Wilshere at the last moment of the game to seal the victory for the team.
The 39th goal of the season and the 18th goal in the league.
On May 8, another big event happened in the Premier League.
Ferguson announced his retirement at the end of the season...
He joined Manchester United in 1986 and worked there until 2013.
While coaching Manchester United, he won an unprecedented 13 Premier League titles, 5 FA Cup titles, 4 League Cup titles, 10 Community Shield titles, 2 Champions League titles, 1 European Cup Winners' Cup title, and 1 European Super League title. Cup champion, 1 Club World Cup champion, and two Champions League runners-up.
In terms of personal honors, he won the Premier League Coach of the Year 11 times and the Premier League Coach of the Month 27 times. He was also the best coach of the 1990s selected by LMA. He won the LMA Coach of the Year 5 times and the LMA Special Achievement Award twice. , won UEFA's Coach of the Year once, entered the Premier League Hall of Fame, and received the Order of the British Empire, the Commander's Order and the Knighthood...
Everyone sent their blessings one after another, and time came to the final round of the league unknowingly.
In the 38th round of the Premier League, against Wigan Athletic at home, Arsenal beat their opponent 4-1. Lin Yun once again came on as a substitute in the 70th minute.
Wigan Athletic, who had already given up the game, suddenly became energetic. The midfield and backfield players collectively returned to defense and guarded him tightly, as if they had a deep hatred for him, but in fact they just regarded "Zero Lin Yun" as a Just an achievement to earn.
Under such defense, Lin Yun failed to score any goals this time and finally stopped scoring goals.
When the game ended, almost the entire Premier League breathed a sigh of relief.
This product is recognized as having a 1-0 attribute, which makes everyone feel nervous.
Starting from the game against Bayern Munich on February 20, Lin Yun made a total of 16 appearances in the Premier League, World Cup qualifiers, and Champions League, scoring goals every time. Until today, this guy finally withered!
Players' status goes up and down, and it's nothing to make a fuss about occasionally stopping for a game. However, Lin Yun happened to start a "scoring drought" on the eve of the Champions League final, which made many Gunners fans have to start thinking wildly.
A fear of being dominated by fate arises spontaneously...
Wenger didn't care at all, and smiled at the post-match press conference, "Before Lin joined, I had a gentleman's agreement with his parents, which was to give him about 8 to 9 games. To adapt to the Premier League, but God knows, it turned out that it took the Premier League 8 games to adapt to him..."
8 league games, 18 goals, several of which were substitutes, and an average of more than two goals per game made everyone no longer interested in complaining about Wenger's words.
Regardless, at least this is good news for Dortmund.
Klopp and his team studied this game overnight, trying to find out the secret to Wigan Athletic's ability to freeze Lin Yun. However, when everyone came out with two panda eyes the next day, they found no useful conclusions. Gotta come out...
At this point, for many people, the 2012-2013 season has come to an end, but for Arsenal and Dortmund, this season has only now entered its final climax.
But before the final started, Lin Yun received another special invitation.
"Peter Taylor?"
"Yes," Wenger said, "England U20 head coach, he needs you to participate in the World Youth Championship to be held in Turkey next month. Of course, you can also refuse..."
"Why should I say no?"
"Why would you be interested in playing at that level?"
"BOSS, I'm only 17 years old. Isn't it the most normal thing to participate in the World Youth Championship?"
"Why do I think it is reasonable for a Ballon d'Or-level player to participate in the World Youth Championship?" Wenger was speechless, "...and if you didn't tell me, I would have thought you were 27 years old."
"No, do you want to take a closer look?" Lin Yun touched his face, "Although I feel that I am no longer a child, but I don't look ten years older than my actual age, right?"
Wenger slapped him on the head and said, "Sometimes you look really mature, but most of the time you are just a child."
"I can't even tell if you are praising me..."
"Just think I'm complimenting you," Wenger shook his head. "Now, forget about your damn World Youth Championship and prepare for the Champions League first. Dortmund is not an easy opponent to deal with."
"You make it sound like we are easy to deal with..."
After giving Peter Taylor a positive answer, Lin Yun devoted himself wholeheartedly to preparations for the finals.
After the Premier League ended, other leagues also ended one after another.
In La Liga, Barcelona won the championship with 100 points, in Serie A, Juventus defended the championship, in Bundesliga, Bayern regained the championship, and in Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain finally claimed the title...
In this way, Arsenal's journey to the Champions League this time will be very interesting.
In the quarter-finals, they defeated the Bundesliga champions;
In the quarter-finals, the Serie A champions were defeated;
In the semi-finals, the winner is the La Liga champion...
In addition to the fact that they just defeated Manchester United in the league, they have already won four of the five major league championships this season!
This gave everyone the illusion of traveling through time, as if they had returned to the golden age when gunmen were invincible. But three months ago, they were still half-dead, and the only theme was to compete for the top four!
Everyone knows when this change started.
No one expected that a humble transfer in the winter would have such a big impact on the entire European football landscape.
Since the 21st century, it is recognized that the transfer that had such a profound impact on the entire football world was in 2003, and the reason why it was such a big deal that year was because it involved all the historical super giants: At that time, Manchester United wanted to get Ronaldinho and Barcelona wanted to get Beckham, but by some mistake, Ronaldinho ended up going to Barcelona, Beckham ended up going to Real Madrid, and Manchester United got Cristiano Ronaldo, and European football became what it is now. .
And this time, the Champions League was so unexpected just because of a small Reading youth training player...
It can only be said that things are unpredictable, and football is really round.
The much-anticipated Champions League final is finally getting closer.
Dortmund was covered in dust and came from afar. They rushed into Wembley Stadium to adapt to the venue without taking more rest. However, Arsenal took advantage of the geographical advantage and had been quietly training here for a long time. How many times has it happened?
Klopp was quite dissatisfied with this and complained in public many times. As a result, Wenger choked him back with one sentence: "Last year's Champions League final was still held at the Allianz Arena. What was the result?"
Uncle Zha almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.
You want me to pay for the sin that Bayern has done?
However, the German media was inspired, and combined with Lin Yun, who had just suffered a goal drought, came up with a metaphysical speculation that made the Hornets fans full of expectations.
Last year, the final venue was in Germany, and the English team won; this year, the final venue was in England, so it makes sense for the German team to win, right?
Lin Yun has been arrogant for three months, almost killing everyone, but when he was preparing to play in the final, he suddenly couldn't score. Tell me, isn't this God's will? !
This one, the Bundesliga will win! ! !
