Chapter 674 Defending the Triple Crown
The moment Busacca blew the whistle to end the game, the Bayern players who had been waiting on the sidelines all rushed into the stadium frantically.
Club employees such as Wolffart simply surrounded Sudong and Heynckes, rushed into the stadium, gathered with the players, and celebrated the team's yet another Champions League title on the stadium.
Three to one, Bayern defeated Barcelona and successfully defended the Champions League title!
This is the second team to successfully defend the title since the Champions League was reformed, and the previous one was Barcelona.
What is even more amazing is that the two teams that successfully defended their titles have a common core.
Sodong!
"The champion has appeared!"
"Bayern Munich narrowly defeated Barcelona 3-1 and successfully defended the Champions League title!"
"The fans in the stadium were cheering, and we could clearly hear many fans shouting Su Dong's name."
"This is not only a victory for Bayern, but also a victory for Su Dong!"
"Perhaps it was destined. When Su Dong left Barcelona and joined Bayern, he said that he hoped to lead Bayern to win three consecutive championships. This was interpreted by many people as Su Dong provoking Barcelona because he once wanted to help Barcelona achieve three consecutive championships but was forced to leave halfway."
"Now, two and a half years later, Su Dong has led this Bayern team to successfully defend the Champions League. This makes us feel like we have seen a brand new top European club. Su Dong has shown super dominance in Bayern and is unstoppable."
"At this moment, Barcelona president Rosell is sitting in the presidential stand of the Olympic Stadium in Rome. I wonder how he feels after watching Su Dong lead Bayern to defeat Barcelona? Will he regret the decision he made that year?"
"There are many Barcelona fans in the stands. They were the culprits who successfully forced Su Dong to leave. I wonder what their mood is tonight?"
"But we must congratulate Su Dong, this is his fifth Champions League title!"
"This achievement also allows Su Dong, who is only 24 years old, to successfully join the ranks of Champions League history."
"In the history of the Champions League, Real Madrid legend Gento has played in eight Champions League finals for Real Madrid, winning six of them. He is the player who has played in the most finals and won the most Champions League titles in the history of the Champions League."
"After Gento, seven Real Madrid legends including Hector Real and Juan Alonso have won the Champions League five times, basically during the period when Real Madrid won five consecutive championships. Half a century later, Su Dong became another player in the history of the Champions League to have won five Champions League titles, and he is still an active player. What an incredible achievement!"
"At the age of 24, he has successfully entered the ranks of Champions League history. Su Dong is destined to write his name in the history of the Champions League!"
…………
…………
Surrounded by everyone, Su Dong rushed into the stadium uncontrollably.
Everyone around was filled with excitement and ecstasy on their faces, especially goalkeeper Neuer.
The goalkeeper, who transferred from Schalke 04 this season, performed very well tonight. The moment the whistle sounded, he stretched out his hand and grabbed the crossbar of the goal, roaring loudly, venting his inner excitement.
Neuer has every reason to be proud of his achievements this season! The German goalkeeper walked all the way to the center of the field, separated the crowd, and came directly to Su Dong. He hugged Su Dong tightly and shouted excitedly, "Thank you! Thank you, Su!"
It was Su Dong's recommendation that allowed Neuer to join Bayern! Tonight, it was also Su Dong's hat trick that allowed Bayern to successfully defend their title! It can be said that without Su Dong, there would be no Champions League, and there would be no Neuer tonight!
More importantly, the German goalkeeper is well aware of his situation in the German national team.
Before joining Bayern, he couldn't even get into the national team, but after joining Bayern, he quickly made his national team debut. Now he has helped Bayern win the Champions League and achieve the treble, which has greatly improved his status in German football. Although he cannot shake Adler's starting position for the time being, at least he has the qualifications to become a starter.
With his current performance and strength, he believes that he is fully capable of defeating Adler and becoming Germany's number one goalkeeper within a year and playing for the German team in the World Cup in South Africa.
And all this was thanks to Su Dong! This also made Neuer lose his composure and even choked up a little.
He never thought that he could win the Champions League so quickly! This is the honor he has always dreamed of! …
Neuer's gaffe also infected the Bayern players around him.
In fact, everyone knows very well that the reason Bayern was able to win the Champions League for two consecutive seasons is that Su Dong is the team's core competitiveness. If it were not for Su Dong, Bayern might even have fallen when facing Manchester United.
Because they understand, everyone admires Su Dong even more.
Even superstars like Ribery and Robben would feel ashamed in front of Su Dong.
It is precisely because of Su Dong's huge contribution to Bayern, and the fact that he knows how to behave and build good relationships with everyone, that his status in the locker room is quite high.
At this moment, Bayern's players also surrounded Su Dong tightly, allowing everyone to clearly feel the importance of Su Dong, the soul core of Bayern.
…
On the sidelines, UEFA staff are busy preparing for the award ceremony.
The St. Bledsoe Cup has been sent over for processing.
The craftsmen will engrave the name of Bayern Munich and the year of the championship on the cup. This will take some time, and UEFA is also using this time to set up the podium.
The Bayern fans at the scene were jubilant, while the Barcelona fans looked frustrated and depressed.
After Su Dong finally got rid of his Bayern teammates, Barcelona players came up to him one by one to congratulate him on winning the championship again.
Puyol, Xavi, Valdes and others were all in low spirits.
Once upon a time, they fought side by side with Sudon and won the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, but Barcelona pushed Sudon to Bayern Munich. As a result, Sudon led the Bundesliga overlord to win the Champions League for two consecutive seasons, and this season they even defeated Barcelona to win the championship, which made everyone in Barcelona very frustrated.
"Congratulations, Su!" Iniesta walked over, high-fived Su Dong, and then hugged him tightly.
After Su Dong hugged Iniesta, he reached out and touched the Spanish midfielder whose hairline was already very high.
In recent years, Iniesta is one of the best performing midfielders in world football. Together with Xavi, he is known as the best midfield combination in world football. In this season's semi-finals, it was thanks to his key goal that Barcelona reached the Champions League final. Iniesta received rave reviews.
Looking at Iniesta, Su Dong felt mixed emotions.
He still remembers that when he first joined Barcelona, Iniesta was still an untrusted young player, but now, he has become a superstar in world football. This person's fate is really amazing.
Like Messi, Iniesta is very grateful to Su Dong from the bottom of his heart.
At that time, neither of them was accepted by the first team, and both of them were almost loaned out, but Su Dong helped them gain a foothold in the first team, get a position, and play in the game.
To some extent, without Su Dong, there would be no Iniesta and Messi.
Once upon a time, they looked forward to fighting side by side with Su Dong until retirement, but unexpectedly, they have now become mortal enemies on the court.
What a twist of fate! When Messi came over, Su Dong also hugged the Argentine and touched his head. His hair had grown longer.
Long before the game, Messi had anticipated that the game would be very difficult, because he knew Su Dong's strength better than anyone else.
He has repeatedly reminded Pique to be careful of Su Dong, but it still doesn't work.
In this game, Pique was completely beaten into a sieve by Su Dong.
"How is it? You asked me to teach him a lesson back then. Are you satisfied with the result?" Su Dong asked with a smile.
Messi laughed and shook his head, feeling very embarrassed.
It was indeed he who personally told Su Dong that he would teach Pique a lesson when he met him in the future, but how could he have imagined that Pique would return to Barcelona and that Su Dong would meet Barcelona in the Champions League final? If he had known earlier, he would definitely not have said that.
"Are you not satisfied with winning the championship now, and you want to take the opportunity to trick me?" Messi complained with a smile.
Su Dong was just joking. How could he tell anyone about this? "Try harder. You definitely still have a chance!"
He reached out and touched Messi's head. Over the years, Su Dong has become accustomed to encouraging Messi in this way.
Messi didn't resist and nodded.
He will definitely win the Champions League! He believes it! …
The podium was located below the rostrum and was built temporarily.
A red carpet was laid directly to the sidelines, with media reporters and fans separated by guardrails on both sides.
Bayern players stood on both sides of the red carpet and sent Barcelona players to the podium.
Su Dong stood at the back and shook hands with the Barcelona players one by one, and even hugged them, even Pique was no exception.
However, this guy who had been constantly provoking before and during the game seemed very embarrassed when he saw Su Dong at this moment.
It can be seen that his provocation is actually a tactic, but he does not have enough strength to support it, making his provocation look more like a joke, and even he himself feels embarrassed.
After the Barcelona players went on stage to receive their awards, the Bayern players, led by Heynckes, also walked onto the red carpet one after another.
At this moment, Su Dong's name was heard again in the venue.
UEFA President Platini awarded gold medals to Bayern's coaches and players one by one. When it was Su Dong's turn, he seemed particularly intimate. He gently put his arm around Su Dong's shoulder, spoke words of praise to him, and encouraged him to keep going.
The age of 24 is the golden period of a career.
More importantly, Su Dong is not only the golden signboard of Bayern and the Bundesliga, but also the golden signboard of the Champions League.
Apart from anything else, tonight's Champions League final has created unprecedented ratings and attention around the world, which has made UEFA earn a lot of money.
And Su Dong is the most dazzling gem in the Champions League!
When Lahm received the Champions League trophy from Platini on behalf of Bayern, the whole audience burst into the loudest cheers.
Su Dong led Bayern to successfully defend the treble!
