Chapter 736 Su Dong's Next Home
The day after Bayern eliminated Inter Milan and reached the Champions League final again, Barcelona also won 1-0 against Lyon away from home.
It was Messi who scored the only goal for Barcelona.
This season, both Su Dong and Messi have an obvious feature in the Champions League, that is, their performance in the group stage is much worse than before. For example, Su Dong only scored five goals, which is less than Cristiano Ronaldo of Real Madrid.
Messi scored even less, only two goals.
But after entering the knockout stage, both of them performed better and better and became the number one contributors to the team's continuous advancement.
Bayern and Barcelona met again in the Champions League final, which also became the first time in the history of the Champions League.
In the 54-year history of the Champions League, there have been five consecutive championships, three consecutive championships, AC Milan and Juventus who have reached the finals for three consecutive seasons, and there have also been teams that have reached the finals again after a year.
But it has never been like this season, where last season's champions and runners-up once again meet in the Champions League final.
This has undoubtedly become a major highlight of this year's Champions League final.
Bayern Munich did not make any new signings during the winter break, only bringing in Rafinha, but this Brazilian right-back cannot shake Lahm's position, so the overall strength is similar to last season.
Barcelona is different. Ibrahimovic's joining has greatly enhanced Barcelona's dominance in the frontcourt.
To some extent, Barcelona's front trident is not inferior to Bayern at all, coupled with the midfield advantage, all these make people full of expectations for Barcelona, believing that the Catalan team will complete revenge this season.
Mourinho even said in a high-profile press conference after defeating Lyon that after Barcelona reached the Champions League final, they only had one goal, which was to win the championship at the Bernabeu! This certainly made Barcelona excited, but it also aroused the indignation of Real Madrid fans.
Real Madrid and Barcelona are sworn enemies. When Real Madrid was eliminated in the round of 16 for consecutive seasons and was ridiculed as the round of 16 of the Champions League, Barcelona won the La Liga championship for two consecutive seasons and reached the Champions League finals for two seasons. Their achievements are outstanding.
Mourinho is going to add insult to injury! As if in retaliation, AS soon revealed that Real Madrid will lend the Valdebebas training base in the northwest of Madrid to Bayern during the Champions League final to help Bayern better prepare for the Champions League final.
The Catalan media was in an uproar.
They are all Spanish teams, how can you help outsiders?
Not only that, according to a survey by Marca, many neutral fans who are preparing to watch the Champions League final prefer Bayern rather than Barcelona, because there are many Real Madrid fans among them who regard Barcelona as their mortal enemy.
"We all hope to see Su Dong lead Bayern to defeat Barcelona at the Bernabeu and win the Champions League for three consecutive years!"

After playing against Inter Milan, Bayern officially started preparing for the two finals.
The focus is on the Champions League final against Barcelona, because Bayern is very confident in facing Werder Bremen in the German Cup final, as this Bundesliga team knows Bayern well.
In the 33rd round of the Bundesliga, Bayern will host Bochum at home.
Taking advantage of the momentum of advancing to the Champions League, Bayern, with high morale, launched a crazy offensive at home.
Su Dong scored two goals in three minutes, in the 18th and 20th minutes, with assists from Ribery and Lahm respectively.
After that, Bayern continued to attack, and Thomas Muller also played bravely, scoring two goals in the first half.
After the second half, Su Dong and Thomas Muller each scored a goal, both performing hat tricks.
At home, Bayern defeated Bochum 6-0 and won another victory.
…
After the game, captain Lahm held high up the sand table representing the Bundesliga championship on behalf of Bayern. All Bayern players also wore T-shirts celebrating the Bundesliga championship. The slogans on the T-shirts not only celebrated the Bundesliga championship, but also hoped that the team would continue to work hard and successfully defend their titles in the German Cup and the Champions League.
Beckenbauer gave a speech on the spot.
The Football Emperor fully affirmed the outstanding performance of Bayern players in the past three seasons. He believed that the team has shown extraordinary competitiveness both in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League, and the entire team has undergone a complete transformation compared to before.
"I still remember that from 2001 to 2007, we experienced a historic low point in those six years. Even our best players were unwilling to stay and continue to play for the team. Many of us doubted ourselves and the team."
Beckenbauer has experienced many ups and downs. He believes that these are normal and that changes in dynasties are always accompanied by pain.
"When the team was at its lowest point, myself, Hoeness and Rummenigge all believed that the team had to change. We needed more marketable superstars to boost the market, we needed more outstanding superstars to improve the team's strength, and we needed more championships to repay these loyal fans who have stayed with us all the way."
“So, here comes Su Dong!”
"Now, looking back, it is not difficult to find that this is not only an important turning point in Bayern's history, but also a great turning point in the history of the Bundesliga and even German football."
"What Su Dong brings to the team is not just the world's top performance, not just the series of incredible goal statistics, and not just the goals and lore he scored in key games. He has a profound impact on every aspect of our team."
"On the pitch, we are the most powerful team in the world of football. In the business field, we are the most profitable football club in the world of football. And all of this is due to Su Dong!"
Finally, Beckenbauer called on all the fans in the stadium to stand up and give Su Dong the warmest applause.
Suddenly, there was thunderous applause in the Allianz Arena, and tens of thousands of Bayern fans were shouting Su Dong.
Although no official information has been revealed so far, it is no longer a secret that Sudong does not plan to renew his contract with Bayern. Some media have even begun to hype that once Sudong leaves the team, Bayern will introduce Mario Gomez from Stuttgart to fill Sudong's vacancy.
This local center is indeed not as good as Su Dong, and the gap is even very obvious, but he is cheap and cost-effective.
As Beckenbauer said just now, Su Dong's arrival at Bayern is not only a turning point for Bayern, but also a turning point for the Bundesliga and even German football. This is the highest evaluation and recognition of Su Dong.
Even before he left the team, he had already been recognized by Bayern and Bundesliga officials as a great star who would enter the Hall of Fame.
But precisely because of this, Bayern and the Bundesliga have completed the turning point, especially Bayern. Su Dong has completed his historical mission in Bayern and the Bundesliga. The most important thing next is to consolidate the achievements made now.
Bild had previously reported that Sudong's team and Bayern were already cutting ties commercially, and the two sides would continue to carry out some cooperation, but Sudong's departure was an inevitable fact.
As for Sudong's next club, Bild believes that the most likely one is Real Madrid.
Florentino is eager for talent, and Real Madrid has Su Dong's best friend Cristiano Ronaldo calling him. If Su Dong turns to Real Madrid, he can also take close revenge on Barcelona, which is the best of both worlds.
This time, Real Madrid's borrowing of the Valdebebas training base is seen as a good signal.
There are also some rumors in the German media, which is that after this season, Bayern will reorganize the team under the command of the new sports director Neilinger, mainly to make room for a group of young players in the team.
For example, Thomas Muller, who scored a hat trick in this round, and Hummels and Badstuber, who performed well on the defensive line, are the ones that Bayern will vigorously cultivate in the future.

A week later, in the last round of the Bundesliga, Bayern traveled north to Berlin to challenge Hertha Berlin away.
The team had already won the championship in advance and had the championship trophy in hand, so naturally they were not too concerned and played with an all-substitute lineup.
But even so, Bayern still defeated Hertha Berlin 3-0 away from home with goals from Olic, Toni Kroos and Thomas Muller.
A group of young players in Bayern have performed quite well, especially Thomas Muller. After scoring goals one after another, he has become a hot new star in German football and an important member of the German national team coach Loew.
…
May 15th, German Cup final.
Bayern headed north again, returning to the Berlin Olympic Stadium to face Werder Bremen, their opponent in the German Cup final.
In the first half hour of the game, Werder Bremen could barely withstand the fierce attack from Bayern, but gradually, Werder Bremen began to show signs of decline.
In the 35th minute, after Su Dong received the ball with his back in front of the penalty area, he pushed the ball behind him with his left foot, which just passed by center back Naldo. Robben quickly cut into the penalty area and calmly shot from the right rib, scoring the first goal for Bayern.
After the change of sides in the second half, Bayern launched a wave of attacks. A long pass came from central defender Pepe, and Su Dong quickly inserted and headed the ball behind him before Mertesacker. He then accelerated to catch up and had a one-on-one opportunity, and calmly shot the ball into the goal.
2-0! In the 63rd minute, Su Dong again pulled to the left side of the penalty area, formed a cooperation with Marcelo and Ribery, and sent the ball into the penalty area. Ribery entered the penalty area and calmly shot the ball into the goal, 3-0! Finally, Marcelo sent an assist in the 83rd minute, and Schweinsteiger scored a long shot to seal the victory for Bayern.
Four to zero! In the German Cup final, Bayern defeated Werder Bremen by four goals, successfully defended the German Cup title, and once again won the double championship! The Bayern fans in the entire Berlin Olympic Stadium were boiling with excitement for the team's victory. Munich, far away in southern Germany, was also a sensation throughout the city. Even the whole of Germany was cheering for Bayern.
In the past three years, Bayern has completely dominated the German football scene, and no team can compete with Bayern.
In fact, Bayern is the strongest team not only in German football, but also in the entire European football.
Now, the only thing left to achieve the goal that Sudong set when he joined Bayern is the battle at the Bernabeu!
