The whistle sounded, and it was time for the commentator short composition again.
"The game is over. With Alexander's five goals and one assist, Arsenal defeated Bayern Munich with a total score of 6-5 and entered the quarterfinals again after two years!
This is a collective victory, but also a personal victory. The 17-year-old Alexander single-handedly changed the destiny of Arsenal when he was just starting out. It is difficult for us to find praiseworthy words to describe his performance In these two games. Performance, as Heynckes said, Bayern did not lose to Arsenal, but lost to Alexander.
This is actually not the first time we have heard of such a reason for failure, but in the past, the protagonists were superstars like Messi and Ronaldo, but this time it appeared on a young player who had just embarked on his career.
Many people say that he is at his peak when he debuts, but I have a terrible premonition, or a strong expectation, that this is not his strongest state yet, because he is too young and still has a lot of potential. There is room for improvement, and I hope we can witness his growth together and witness his true peak…"
"On the other side of the field, Barcelona defeated AC Milan 4-0 at Camp Nou, achieving a 4-2 total score reversal and successfully advancing to the quarter-finals; Malaga also lost 0 in the first leg. After falling behind by -1, we completed the counterattack 2-0 in the second round!
Bayern Munich actually once saw hope of reversal and victory, but Alexander's goal pushed them into the bottomless abyss again. "
The Arsenal fans who were traveling with the team were shouting at the top of their lungs, but they were still jumping and jumping crazily in the stands.
After following his teammates to the stands to thank them, Alexander was about to walk into the tunnel when he saw Muller taking off his clothes and walking towards him.
"It's a good game," Muller raised the jersey in his hand, "Is that okay?"
"Of course," Alexander took the jersey from his hand, took off his own and handed it over, "This is the first time I have exchanged jerseys with someone else."
Before Mueller could speak, Ram smiled and said, "So it seems I'm a step late?"
Alexander shook hands with him and said, "There are still many opportunities, let's do it next time."
"Next time…maybe it will be the World Cup. You should be selected, right?"
"Who knows?"
Muller draped his jersey over his shoulders and said: "I have a hunch that this jersey might become my most important collection… Huh? Don't you have a tattoo?"
"No, I don't like that thing.
" I don't like that thing either."
Back in the locker room, it was already a mess.
Singing and dancing are common activities, as are walking birds and taking beer baths.
Alexander was sprayed with champagne as soon as he entered the door. He was well prepared and quickly joined the celebration.
After the game, the players returned to London, but Wenger rushed to Nyon, Switzerland, to participate in the Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony held here.
Four of the top eight teams in the Champions League this season have won the Big Ears Cup, namely Real Madrid, Barcelona, Dortmund and Juventus. They are also the favorites to win this season.
At the beginning of the draw ceremony, UEFA Secretary General Infantino greeted the representatives and guests present, congratulated the clubs that advanced to the quarter-finals, then briefly introduced the draw rules, displayed the UEFA Champions League championship trophy placed aside, and then led the way. Everyone reviewed the highlights of the Champions League quarter-finals' previous group matches and knockout rounds on the big screen. The final short film ended with a bird's-eye view of Wembley Stadium, this year's final venue.
The lottery guest and finals ambassador McManaman came on stage, and after a lot of chatter, the lottery ceremony officially began.
The first team McManaman draws is Champions League newcomer Malaga, and their opponent will be Bundesliga champion Borussia Dortmund;
The next one to be drawn is Real Madrid. McManaman draws his old club together with Galatasaray. Mourinho will reunite with his former disciples Sneijder and Drogba as opponents in the Champions League. ;
Then comes Paris Saint-Germain, and the team led by Ibrahimovic will be drawn to Barcelona. Ancelotti will get the opportunity to avenge his old club Milan;
The last remaining group is naturally Juventus and Arsenal.
Wenger's face was expressionless, but he was actually secretly relieved.
For Arsenal, this result is considered good or bad.
Although they failed to draw Galatasaray and Malaga, compared to Real Madrid, Barcelona and Dortmund, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are relatively easy opponents to deal with.
There are still nineteen days until the quarter-finals start. In these ten days, the team still has two league games to play, including two games in the 2014 World Cup European Qualifiers, so everyone's task is not easy.
The FA have once again shown their inhumane side.
Arsenal just finished playing in the Champions League 1/8 finals on March 14, and will start the 29th round of the league on March 16.
The players only had two and a half days of rest, and such a schedule was simply a torture. Fortunately, Nana's family has a big business, and they still managed to put together a second team to go to the Liberty Stadium to challenge Swansea.
In the end, Monreal scored his first goal for Arsenal, and Gervinho helped the team seal the victory in stoppage time. Arsenal won Swansea 2-0 away from home.
In the same round, Manchester United defeated Reading 1-0 at home and continued to lead the standings with 74 points.
Manchester City and Tottenham overturned at the same time.
Manchester City lost 0-2 to Everton away from home, while Tottenham lost 0-1 at home to Fulham.
There has been another change at the top of the standings.
Arsenal squeezed out Manchester City and ranked second with 56 points.Chelsea, which has won two consecutive games, squeezed out Tottenham who lost two consecutive games and came to the Champions League.
After this round, the major leagues ushered in a fifteen-day offseason to make way for the World Cup qualifiers.
Alexander finally returned to Reading's home for the first time after joining Arsenal, but as soon as he entered the house, he felt that the atmosphere was not right.
"What is it? " Alexander asked
John sighed: "It's a long story."
Isabella answered, "The English Football Association called."
