Chapter 1 For the Royal Madrid Fans, the Next Five Minutes Were Agonizing; The Same Went for the Royal Madrid Players
Cristiano Ronaldo was still desperately seeking opportunities.

It was just a pity that his teammates had already lost heart. After running for a hundred and fifteen minutes, and bearing enormous pressure, they were all unable to run anymore. They originally had a spirit supporting them, but after Chen Hero scored the second goal, that spiritual pillar was also taken from their bodies.

Most of them were now like zombies, standing on the field, but their hearts were no longer there.

Only Ronaldo was unwilling to give up.

From this point of view, he and Chen Hero were really quite similar. It was just a pity that he wasn't the protagonist…

Mourinho didn't make any more adjustments, even though he still had a substitution available.

Making any adjustments at this time would be useless.

At the same time, on the neighboring Liverpool bench, the substitute players had already stood up from their seats. They stood on the sidelines, cheering for the team together.

Then they prepared to rush onto the field at the first moment when the game ended and celebrate victory with everyone.

The songs of the Liverpool fans rang out in the stands.

The song "You'll Never Walk Alone" had a bit of a religious choir feel at this moment.

More than a hundred minutes of arduous waiting, unwavering support—Liverpool's football was also very dull, but the Liverpool fans didn't boo their team like the Royal Madrid fans had—all the price paid had now been rewarded.

For the neutral fans, although the first ninety minutes of this game were quite dull and very ugly, fortunately, the last thirty minutes of extra time were surprisingly exciting. They began to rejoice that they hadn't turned off the TV directly, and after waiting through the clouds, they finally saw the beautiful starry sky…

The last thirty minutes of this Champions League final were finally a bit like a showdown between Europe's peak teams.

※※※

In the last five minutes of the game, Liverpool completely retreated, and Royal Madrid's attack was full of despair.

The focus was no longer on the game itself.

Even the commentators shifted the commentary from the game to the significance of this victory for Liverpool and for European football.

Because this was, after all, the first seven-time champion in European football history!

Seven championships, one more than Barcelona's six championships at the time. Although it was because of one more domestic cup, it was still more after all.

With such brilliant achievements, naturally, they had to be praised.

The commentators tirelessly introduced the audience to the championships that Liverpool had won this season.

From the Community Shield Cup at the beginning to the Champions League now.

"Behind every championship there is a story. I didn't expect Liverpool to really get these seven championships in their hands. This is an even bigger story…"

"I wonder if Liverpool can summon the dragon after collecting all seven championships this season… Haha!"

Everyone was in high spirits, and only when the game ended did their attention briefly return to the field.

"The referee blew the whistle to end the game! The hundred and twenty minutes of the game are over, Liverpool defeated Real Madrid with Chen Hero's two goals in extra time! They have become this season's Champions League champions! They have once again stood on the top of Europe!"

"The game is over! The game is over! Liverpool has become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League title since the Champions League was reformed! Just with this achievement alone, Liverpool can be recorded in history forever, but the actual situation is far more than that! They also swept all the championships this season! Community Shield Cup champion, European Super Cup champion, World Club Cup champion, English League Cup champion, English FA Cup champion, English Premier League champion, and this last one, which is also the most important one… Champions League champion!"

"Congratulations to Liverpool, they have achieved a great achievement that has never been seen before and will never be seen again! After becoming the four-time champion last season, this season they have continued to work hard and become the seven-time champion! The current Liverpool is so powerful that it is desperate! I think Europe will start a Liverpool dynasty from now on…"

When the final whistle blew, the Royal Madrid players collapsed on the grass, their faces full of pain and helplessness.

The Liverpool players were ecstatic.

The substitute players on the sidelines rushed into the field like a flood.

They embraced their teammates on the field to celebrate the victory.

Chen Hero ran to the bench, took out a red five-star red flag, draped it over his body, and then turned back to celebrate with his teammates.

Although the Liverpool jersey was red, this bright five-star red flag was still very conspicuous in the crowd.

He once again brought this flag to the pinnacle of European football.

This flag has witnessed him becoming a Champions League champion three times.

He plans to let this flag continue to witness it in the future.

The reporters swarmed up and surrounded him.

The microphones were pointed at him, and before they could speak, they heard Chen Hero pointing at the camera and shouting: "Last year I said we were going to win all the championships, you didn't believe me, what about now? Are you convinced? Are! You! Convinced?!"

Faced with such arrogant Chen Hero, which reporter would dare to be so blind as to say "not convinced"?

No one.

They could only lower their heads and accept it.

Chen Hero was very happy after teaching these reporters a lesson. So he decided to give them a candy.

Slap them first, then give them a candy.

He said: "So, I am telling you one year in advance now, we will also win all the championships next season! Seven! Not one less!"

Hearing what he said, the reporters raised their heads in surprise, widened their eyes, and looked incredible.

Chen Hero curled his lips: "Don't be so surprised. I know this is a bit unacceptable for you mediocre mortals. So I'm telling you one year in advance, you have one year to digest and absorb it. Anyway, I'm putting my words here, let's see the results a year later! You can laugh at me as much as you want in the media for being overconfident, complacent, and suffering from extreme joy. But a year later, I will ask you at the same time, are you convinced!"

After saying these arrogant and domineering words, Chen Hero pushed the reporters away and walked straight to his cheering teammates, joining them in celebrating the victory.

The reporters looked at each other.

"Did you hear that just now?"

"I didn't hear it wrong, did I? Are you sure I didn't hear it wrong? That's what he said, right?"

"He said, he said he was going to win all seven championships next season too? Is that what he said?"

"Yes, yes, that's right… we didn't hear it wrong!"

"Really… arrogant!"

"But he has the right to be arrogant."

"This is really a painful reality…"

"No, it's an annoying reality!"

The game ended, and all the Liverpool fans were cheering, while the Royal Madrid fans were in agony.

At this time, Platini stood up from his seat and said to the other UEFA officials next to him: "Let's go, prepare for the award ceremony."

After speaking, he sighed heavily and walked out first.

As the UEFA president, Platini was afraid of the Champions League final award ceremony. A UEFA president, doing this… I'm afraid no one would believe it if it were said out loud.

But this is the truth. Just like the seven championships, no one believed it when Chen Hero said it a year ago. But he really did it.

※※※

After the podium was set up, Mourinho and the players walked onto the podium to receive the silver medals.

After receiving the silver medal, Mourinho casually handed it to a fan in the stands wearing a white Real Madrid jersey.

Then he stood on the outer edge of the crowd, looking woodenly and coldly at the jubilant Liverpool players.

They were stepping onto the podium one after another.

If it weren't for these two goals, he firmly believed that it should be him and the Real Madrid players up there at this time.

He wanted to draw a perfect end to his coaching career at Real Madrid.

But fate insisted on leaving him with eternal regrets.

※※※

Just as Mourinho was in a daze, the Liverpool players stepped onto the podium. They took the gold medals from Platini's hands and showed them off excitedly.

Although many of them had already won this gold medal, being able to defend the championship was still something to be happy about. Because no team had been able to do it since the Champions League was reformed. And they did it!

When it was Chen Hero's turn, he looked at Platini with a grin.

Platini's temples were throbbing, but on the surface he still didn't show any flaws. He took the gold medal from the etiquette lady, turned around, and directly stuffed the gold medal into Chen Hero's hand.

He already knew the temper of this bastard very well. He would never bow his head to himself, no matter what the situation. So in order to avoid being humiliated by him, he might as well take the initiative first.

Chen Hero wasn't surprised by Platini's actions. He still had that annoying smile on his face, and he weighed the gold medal in his hand, as if it wasn't a gold medal but a gold coin…

Platini endured the disgusted look on his face and didn't even shake hands with Chen Hero, turning to look at the next Liverpool player.

But when he thought that these players were all accomplices of Chen Hero, the entire Liverpool team suddenly became hateful in Platini's heart.

So he had to endure the disgust in his heart when shaking hands with every Liverpool player next.

This award ceremony was really tiring for him…

The climax is always the moment when the trophy is lifted.

When Gerrard walked onto the podium, the Liverpool fans let out a low cheer. This cheer continued without stopping.

Then, when Gerrard took the Big Ears Cup from Platini, who was forcing a smile, the suppressed cheers in the fans' mouths suddenly erupted.

In this cheering, Gerrard raised the trophy high, his face already filled with tears—even when he was young and frivolous, he never dared to imagine that Liverpool would have such a brilliant future!

The red Liverpool players gathered around, surrounding the trophy.

Chen Hero, draped in the five-star red flag, smiled brightly in the crowd.
