Chen Yingxiong's pre-match remarks successfully stirred up Lyon's anger, causing them to lose their composure. They were all like they'd been injected with chicken blood, roaring that they would give Chen Yingxiong a good look.

But the reality was that Chen Yingxiong gave Lyon a good look first, twelve minutes into the game...

"Yingxiong—to be honest, I'm getting tired of this name this season... because I always have to mention his name like this—he scored again!"

"Yingxiong's header! Liverpool's aerial bombardment tactics are very successful! Liverpool takes the lead, opening the scoring! They also got a valuable away goal!"

"Although Chen Yingxiong's words were arrogant before the game, the reality now is that the Lyon people have to bow their heads in front of this arrogant person... because he really has the ability to be arrogant, and he does what he says! Facing Lyon, he really has a lot of confidence and experience!"

"Lyon players and fans must be very aggrieved now, because they were ridiculed by Yingxiong before the game. They thought they could take revenge in the game, but who would have thought that Chen Yingxiong would stab them again!"

Amidst the boos of the Lyon fans, Chen Yingxiong was celebrating the goal with his teammates. Leading by a goal after only ten minutes of the opening, the difficulty of this semi-final instantly dropped from A-level to C-level.

Many players in this Lyon team today have played against Chen Yingxiong's Napoli. This goal by Chen Yingxiong immediately reminded many players of the scene when he played against them in the blue Napoli jersey...

What impressed them most was the Champions League group stage that year, when Napoli and Lyon competed for qualification and first place in the group. In extremely unfavorable circumstances, Chen Yingxiong sounded the horn of counterattack and helped Napoli finally reverse the victory, defeating Lyon. If it hadn't been for Zenit St. Petersburg's disappointing performance, Lyon would have almost failed to qualify from the group stage.

The Lyon players never said whether there was anything fishy about that game, but everyone probably understood it to some extent. Because the referee in that game was too biased and obvious. Napoli's good goal was blown away, and Lyon took the opportunity to benefit and quickly scored a goal.

In that situation, it was Chen Yingxiong who stepped forward and helped the team win, even knocking the referee unconscious with one kick...

Before this game, Chen Yingxiong provoked a lot, and the Lyon players were dissatisfied and fought back. They also fantasized about showing Chen Yingxiong how powerful Lyon was in the game!

Now Lyon is indeed no longer the hegemon in Ligue 1, and can only fight to the death for a Champions League qualification in the league. But no matter what, we were once the seven-time champion of Ligue 1! How can we let Chen Yingxiong humiliate us like this? If we don't say anything and fight back, how can we say we are Lyon people when it spreads out? Isn't this just making those competitors laugh at us?

So the Lyon players really wanted to take revenge in this game, slap Chen Yingxiong hard, and tell him that a giant like Lyon is not something he can insult at will.

As a result... before the slap could be landed, they were slapped back by the other side...

There is nothing more frustrating than this!

Lyon scored two goals in a row before the end of the first half, demonstrating their strength, but this did not affect the mood of the Liverpool players. They were still quite relaxed when they left the field.

Because they had already scored an away goal, even if the game ended with this score, they were confident of reversing the situation at home.

Of course, it definitely wouldn't be this score, because there were still forty-five minutes left.

After the second half of the game started, Liverpool insisted on playing defensively and counterattacking, because Lyon would not be willing to end the game with this score. They would definitely press forward to attack, so there would be a lot of space behind them, depending on whether the Liverpool forwards could seize the opportunity.

Twenty minutes into the second half, Liverpool finally seized the opportunity. Chen Yingxiong turned around and shot a cold arrow from outside the penalty area. Lyon goalkeeper Lloris made a wonderful save, but he did not catch the ball, nor did he hit the baseline. He just blocked the ball. In fact, judging from the suddenness of Chen Yingxiong's shot and Lloris's position, it was already very difficult for him to save the ball, and he couldn't ask for more.

Suarez, who was in the penalty area, followed up very alertly and easily put the ball into the empty goal.

The score became 2:2!

Liverpool had the advantage!

Neither side was able to score after that. Lyon tried their best, but Liverpool shrank their defense and didn't give them a chance.

In the end, Liverpool drew 2:2 with Lyon away from home, and they already had the upper hand in the two-legged semi-final.

Chen Yingxiong used a goal and an "indirect assist" to prove that he was indeed Lyon's nemesis...

After the game, the Lyon media collectively fell silent, and they didn't mention the grievances between Chen Yingxiong and Lyon. On the other hand, the Liverpool media were particularly excited, repeatedly publicizing Chen Yingxiong's record against Lyon. On the one hand, it was to disgust Lyon, and on the other hand, it was to cheer for the team's second leg—look how easy Chen Yingxiong is against Lyon, so in the next leg, we Liverpool will definitely win!

Back on the domestic field, Liverpool defeated Fulham 1:0 away from home in the next league game. Chen Yingxiong was put into the rotation lineup, but Suarez was not rotated, so Liverpool still guaranteed enough strength.

Rotating Chen Yingxiong was naturally for the second leg of the semi-final against Lyon. As long as they defeated Lyon, the team would be able to enter the final with their heads held high. Before the start of the new season, few people could have imagined that Liverpool could go so far in the Europa League...

There is nothing to say about the second leg against Lyon. Liverpool were tied at home, and Liverpool also got two valuable away goals. Lyon's hopes were already very slim, not to mention that they were facing their nemesis Chen Yingxiong.

The final score was that Liverpool defeated Lyon 2:1 at home and eliminated their opponents with a total score of 4:3.

Chen Yingxiong scored the most critical goal in the game—Liverpool's second goal, which was also the goal that regained the lead, helping the team advance to the final.

His personal goal in the Europa League this season has also reached an astonishing twenty-eight.

Everyone is no longer surprised by Chen Yingxiong's every goal, because they are all used to it.

However, when this total number was placed in front of many people, they were still shocked—twenty-eight goals! Such a number is really unprecedented, and it is estimated that it can also be "unprecedented" for a long time.

Although because of the appearance of Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, the good show of swiping data has become commonplace. In the past, the best shooter of a season was at most thirty goals, but these two perverts brushed to forty goals and fifty goals.

But that is after all a league, and everyone can also say that the defense of La Liga is of kindergarten level.

Chen Yingxiong created this achievement in the Europa League, which is a European war, and the level of the game is completely different. La Liga has been reduced to the foil for the data swiping of the two major giants of the Spanish Super League, but the Europa League is not. Although it is not as good as the Champions League, it is also a European war. After the group stage, no team is easy to deal with.

Chen Yingxiong scored twenty-eight goals in such a situation...

Now there is still a final left in front of him. Their opponents have not yet been determined, but if there are no accidents, it will be Inter Milan. Facing the Serie A team known for its defense, can Chen Yingxiong continue to break his own record?

Many people thought of Chen Yingxiong's number of goals in Serie A, and then thought about it, and felt that it was very likely...

※※※

A day later, Liverpool's opponents in the Europa League were determined. As everyone expected, as everyone wished, it was Serie A giants Inter Milan!

Starting from the knockout stage, everyone has been looking forward to the duel between the two heroes, and it has finally been realized.

The media were boiling, and everyone began to enthusiastically discuss this Europa League final.

That treatment is almost the same as the Champions League final.

When has the Europa League ever had such glory? All along, the Europa League has been the foil for the Champions League, and even the event arrangement has to be after the Champions League game day, just like an unwanted child, completely growing up eating leftovers.

But now the Europa League has suddenly become popular, and its influence can actually be compared with the Champions League!

If UEFA could reach out to the Premier League, maybe Platini would really want Liverpool to participate in the Europa League every year...

Unfortunately, it's only this session. In the next Europa League, there will be no Liverpool... No, wait!

Not necessarily!

If Liverpool is eliminated in the group stage, they can still participate in the Europa League if they get the third place in the group, just like Inter Milan this season...

Then...

Um...

Platini fell into a long thought again.

Entering the Europa League final, Liverpool上下 were very happy and excited. Liverpool fans have begun to look forward to the team defeating Inter Milan and lifting the championship trophy of this event.

The Europa League is not as good as the Champions League, but for Liverpool fans who have not had a decent championship for many years, no matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, not to mention that this is not a mosquito?

Although they did not win the league championship this season, everyone has not had a league championship for more than twenty years, and it is not bad for this year. The Europa League championship is still the first time. As long as they can win this championship, this season will not be in vain.

The Liverpool club also attaches great importance to this championship. Chen Xing has announced that he will specially formulate a bonus distribution rule for the championship of this event. As long as they win the award, the entire team will share 15 million euros in bonuses.

This is the bonus for a single game, which is a big deal.

Chen Xing is supported by his family behind him, and he really has no shortage of money...
