Chapter 458: 6 !
Sweat soaked Messi's eyes, and he felt he had never run as actively as he did today, but it seemed futile. Barcelona had lost their fighting spirit.
When morale is lost, the team becomes difficult to lead. At this moment, the Argentine star truly understood that as the core of the team, what was needed was not just strength. He was still young, with plenty of time to grow, but this year was destined not to belong to him.
In the final moments of the game, Real Madrid coach Schuster replaced Wang Feng with Cassano, allowing him to accept the cheers and applause of the entire stadium. The Chinese superstar raised his hands and clapped in response.
Entering the last five minutes, the Galacticos launched another swift counterattack. Vander Vaart, who also came off the bench, received a long pass from Pepe and quickly dribbled into the area near the top of the Barcelona penalty area.
He then passed to Robben, who suddenly accelerated and shook off the defense to enter the penalty area, then calmly curled a shot into the far corner. Valdés stretched out his arms to save, but the ball grazed under his palm, hitting the inside of the post and into the net.
5-0! Real Madrid crushed Barcelona!
"The game is no longer suspenseful. Congratulations to Real Madrid for winning their 12th Champions League trophy in club history. This is their third consecutive title, setting a new record since the restructuring of the Champions League!"
"Barcelona showed no ability to fight back in the game. It seems that the previous loss in the El Clasico and some off-field controversies severely affected the players' mood and form."
"It must be said that they are very unlucky this season. They finished as runners-up in the league, the Copa del Rey, and the Champions League, achieving an unprecedented triple-second in La Liga history."
"On the other hand, Real Madrid has won all the trophies of the season, including the league, the cup, the Champions League, the Spanish Super Cup, the European Super Cup, and the Club World Cup, achieving the grand feat of winning six titles!"
"It is worth mentioning that in history, the clubs that have won the league, the cup, and the Champions League in a single season are few and far between. Only Celtic in 1967, Ajax in 1972, PSV Eindhoven in 1988, Manchester United in 1999, Inter Milan in 2003, and now, Real Madrid in 2009."
"Recent clubs that have achieved this honor have all been greatly contributed by a player, and that player is the Chinese superstar Wang Feng! He has conquered all opponents with his incredible performance."
When the English referee Harris blew the final whistle of the game, the Barcelona players seemed to be drained of all their strength. Some lay on the ground, some covered their faces and cried, some squatted in silence, while the victorious Real Madrid players celebrated exuberantly.
Wang Feng stood up from the bench, hugged and comforted Messi, who was still very depressed, as they walked towards the player tunnel. Messi forced a smile and said, "Congratulations, Wang. Barcelona will come back next season, I believe in that."
"Of course, I also believe it. Looking forward to facing you guys again."
Soon, a simple award podium was set up. As usual, UEFA President Platini personally presented the champions and runners-up trophies. When the Real Madrid players received the trophy from him, the atmosphere at the Stadio Olimpico reached its peak.
Three consecutive titles! Six crowns! For Real Madrid's achievements, no amount of praise is too much! After the game, major media websites immediately issued reports and comments.
In the increasingly powerful era of the Internet, traditional print media can no longer meet the timeliness of news, as people can simply browse web pages to see real-time events.
Spain's "Marca" newspaper stated that Real Madrid has reached a new height. As modern football tactics and skills continue to improve, and competition intensifies, they still dominate all opponents and achieve a grand slam, demonstrating their immense strength.
"Perhaps the only team that can defeat this team is themselves. But the core Wang Feng is not yet 26 years old this year, which is the peak age. What kind of glory will the Galacticos achieve next?"
Germany's "Kicker" magazine believes that Wang Feng has once again proven to be the best player in Europe, and Real Madrid is the strongest team in Europe.
"No one expected that three years ago, the combination of the Chinese superstar and the Galacticos would erupt with such intense energy. They have dominated La Liga and the European stage together."
"During this period, their opponents included Barcelona led by Ronaldinho, Manchester United led by Cristiano Ronaldo, Liverpool led by Torres and Gerrard, and the cosmic Barcelona composed of Messi, Eto'o, and Henry."
"But Real Madrid defeated them one by one, creating a new chapter in Spanish and European football history, becoming the first club to win three consecutive titles since the restructuring of the Champions League in 1992, and also the first team in La Liga history to win three trebles."
"In this process, Wang Feng's role is absolutely crucial. He continues his performance as the European Golden Boot and the Champions League Golden Boot winner, and this season, he has scored a record of 100 goals. Counting the hat-trick in the Champions League final, the Chinese superstar has set this number at 103."
"It is these goals that have forged these trophies!"
England's "Sky Sports" commented that Real Madrid's total number of Champions League titles has reached an astonishing 12 times, far exceeding the second-place AC Milan and Inter Milan's 5 times record, and their Champions League dynasty is still continuing.
"Premier League teams have been growing rapidly, especially in recent years, occupying many Champions League quarter-final and even semi-final spots, but they have always been unable to touch the UEFA Champions League trophy, which is quite regrettable."
They believe that the biggest reason is still the excessive internal competition in the Premier League. Clubs not only have to deal with the complex and changing domestic league situation but also participate in a series of competitions such as the FA Cup and the League Cup, which consumes too much of the team's energy.
Therefore, "Sky Sports" suggested that the FA should fully consider the needs of European competitions when arranging match schedules, and clubs also need to make detailed assessments and arrangements for the schedule. "England needs a Champions League champion, which is the best response to the level of the league and the clubs."
The Catalan media "Sport" and "Mundo Deportivo" also congratulated Real Madrid and Wang Feng on their historic achievements, while they also believed that the club made a major mistake in its decision-making a few years ago.
"Originally, Wang Feng was closer to Barcelona, but due to management issues, we let go of this world superstar, and watched him join our arch-rivals and become the most difficult opponent for the team."
