Chapter 91: The top of the Champions League

After winning the Copa del Rey, the Champions League, the highest level of competition of all clubs, has become the next priority.

After some celebrations, the Granada team soon entered closed training.

Although Mourinho has led the team to win various titles. But for him, who has not won the championship for several years, this Champions League will be a key battle for him to return to the top.

Quadruple champions! This is a fantastic honor for any coach and player. Such a goal is something that anyone can put all efforts to.

For this goal, Yan Feng and his teammates are nervously preparing for the game every day. And in order not to be disturbed by the outside world, Mourinho even asked the players not to go online before the game, let alone give interviews to anyone.

The previously powerful Granada team and Jose Mourinho, who have always been known for their outspokenness, have remained silent. This is definitely a depressing thing for the media that likes to hype the news the most. And the Granada team did this, and the media had little to do.

The outside world is hyping up this battle for the pinnacle. Granada and Paris Saint-Germain are both new giants that have only risen in the past two years. It's not the first time they've met each other, but it's the first time they've gone head-to-head in the Champions League, the highest honour for a European club. The implications are extraordinary.

"Who is the new king of European clubs?"

That's what this game is about. This is naturally the most talked-about of all club competitions.

Needless to say, this game was naturally full of fans.

The Champions League final is also a tiebreaker and a neutral match.

Although it was played at a neutral stadium, the Granada team had the largest number of fans who poured into the stadium on the day of the match. Who else in the world can compare with Chinese fans, rich, and enthusiastic?

Paris Saint-Germain is naturally incomparable. Therefore, with the support of a few Chinese fans, the atmosphere of the neutral stadium is not much different from that of Granada, except for the lack of familiarity.

"It's a blessing to be a Chinese player. As long as we have a good performance, the Chinese fans can always make us feel like we are at home anywhere on the planet. Thank you Chinese fans!" Yan Feng was immediately moved when he stepped into the Stadium of Light.

The atmosphere on the pitch was favorable to the Granada team, which encouraged Yan Feng and his teammates. One by one, they screamed and waited for the game to begin.

Warm up before the game and have a grand entrance ceremony. Then, with more than 60,000 fans in attendance and hundreds of millions in front of the screen, the game soon began.

Paris Saint-Germain is now truly Neymar's team. Since Edinson Cavani left Real Madrid, Neymar has truly become the boss of the team. After losing the Champions League to Barcelona last year, he is now leading to the final.

"This time, the championship is ours. No one can stop me from leading the team to this highest honor. Neymar's eyes stayed on the big-eared cup on the sideline stand, and his mouth swore with confidence.

Neymar has this confidence and confidence. When his teammates changed from Cavani to Giroud, under his leadership, they won the Ligue 1 title six rounds ahead of schedule. Now, he has easily defeated all his opponents all the way to the finals. Everything went smoothly as if God had prepared for him the championship and all the great honors that followed.

"The other party is a bunch of unplanted soft eggs, they don't have the courage to face us. Now, let's go and smash their tortoise shells. In Neymar's impassioned words, Paris Saint-Germain launched a fierce attack on the Granada team soon after the opening.

"Winning is always the most important result. Everything else is just a means. Mourinho chuckled and waved his hand, and the Granada team put out a bus under the leadership of Yan Feng.

"Sure enough. That's Mourinho's style. ”

As soon as the posture of the two sides was put out, the outside world said that it was indeed the case.

'Olivier Giroud, Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, that's the strongest attacking combination in Europe. Is it possible for Granada to want to hold on?" Paris Saint-Germain has the firepower to average more than two goals per game in this Champions League, but it is extremely scary.

It stands to reason that Cavani should be better than Giroud as a central striker. But the inevitable battle between Cavani and Neymar has prevented them from playing at their best. Olivier Giroud doesn't have that problem, and Olivier Giroud's quality in the centre-forward position is also top-notch. As a result, Paris Saint-Germain now truly have the most firepower of any club in Europe.

With such firepower, it naturally makes people feel that the Granada team has encountered a real opponent who can't be defended.

And in fact, a lot of people are going to be disappointed. Under the leadership of Yan Feng, at the end of the first half, Paris Saint-Germain failed to score a single goal.

The Granada team, under the dispatch of Modric, counterattacked very strongly, but after all, they did not attack with all their strength, and they could not break through the defense led by Thiago Silva.

In the first half, the two sides played 0:0.

In the second half, the Granada team was still on the bus.

The second half was almost a replica of the first. With Yan Feng's efforts, no matter what offensive countermeasures Neymar and his teammates exhausted, they could not break through the defense of the Granada team.

After taking the initiative to increase the confrontation, as soon as the game time passed 70 minutes, the Paris Saint-Germain team began to slow down the attack. And the Granada team, which has always been very physical, went all out.

Paris Saint-Germain seemed to have been prepared for the situation, and after shrinking their formation and strengthening their defence, Granada's attack was also fruitless. Rao is Yan Feng forcibly participated in the attack, but under the opponent's targeted defense, his several tough long-range shots failed to get the desired result.

Neymar and Kylian Mbappe are both extremely fast players, and with them, Granada will not be able to press with all their might. This makes the two sides seem to have shifted positions. One main attack and one main defense, but neither could score.

Neither side was able to score in the entire legal time. Even in the first half of extra time, no goals were scored.

When it came to the second half of extra time, Rao was the Granada team that had a physical advantage and began to enter a state of exhaustion.

'It looks like we're going to have to prepare for a brutal penalty shoot-out. ”

Looking at the tiredness of both sides and the way they put away their kicks, it seems that a penalty shoot-out is inevitable.

The brutality of the battle is a great test of the psychological quality of the players on both sides. It's often a goal that makes a player a hero or a sinner.

It's brutal for the players, but it's also inevitable a lot of the time.

When the time for extra time ran out, it really went to a penalty shootout.

A penalty shoot-out, something that has rarely been seen in the Granada squad. Even Yan Feng hadn't encountered it before. When the game really entered the penalty shootout, Yan Feng's heartbeat missed a beat.

Yan Feng was in fifth place. Before it was his turn to take the penalty, watching his teammates go up to take the penalty, his heart was almost in his throat. Fortunately, my teammates are very good.

Luka Modric, who was the first to play, used his calmness and experience to successfully win the first place for the Granada team. Riyad Mahrez and Sandell then withstood the pressure and scored the penalty.

Olivier Giroud, who was the first penalty for Paris Saint-Germain, also scored for his side. Mbappe and Verratti also scored. Both sides are on the same level.

The fourth player in the Granada team was Lin Fan, but unfortunately he hit the post this time.

Granada conceded a free throw. Gave the lead to the opponent. Luckily, Di Maria, who had the initiative in Ben, also unexpectedly sent the ball away. Both sides are back to the starting line.

"I'll copy it!" But after Di Maria didn't score, Yan Feng couldn't help but burst into foul language. And Lin Fan, who looked guilty, finally regained some blood on his pale face.

"Just give it to me. Yan Feng pulled out a smile, patted Lin Fan's shoulder, and then resolutely walked to 12 yards in front of the goal.

"Come on! Brother Feng. ”

The sound of cheering came from behind, and Yan Feng clenched his fists. I comforted Lin Fan before, but when I stood in front of the penalty, I found that my heart was beating wildly. I was nervous too.

Yan Feng made the fifth free throw, and this ball was extremely important. Once the penalty is lost, it is equivalent to handing over life and death to the opponent. Yan Feng, who has never participated in a penalty shootout, has never felt so much pressure for a moment.

This goal could well decide the fate of the Granada team.

Yan Feng stood in front of the ball and closed his eyes. He took a few deep breaths in quick succession. Then, instead of opening his eyes to look at the goal, he lowered his head before opening his eyes.

Yan Feng's eyes were only fixed on the football, trotting a few steps, and then he suddenly strode with his left foot and swung his leg with his right foot. The swinging back of his right foot jerked back and slammed into the soccer ball at a speed that was unbelievable to the naked eye.

"Boom!" With a loud bang, the football flew out like lightning. The football that was drawn out was so fast that even Yan Feng himself couldn't see a trace. When his foot hits the ball, the only thing he can do is pray that the ball hits the inside of the goal.

After searching for half a second, Yan Feng finally saw a hanging net in the goal.

"Yay!" Yan Feng shook his fist excitedly.

After kicking this ball, Yan Feng felt like he was about to collapse.

The whole Granada team cheered. Now the pressure is back on PSG. Whether to die or to escape, fate was given to their fifth player to take a penalty - their boss Neymar.

Neymar, who also chose to play fifth, will be under even heavier pressure than Yan Feng before.

Standing in front of the penalty spot, facing Ochoa, Neymar also kept taking a deep breath.

"Come on! Ochoa. Yan Feng and his teammates stood up shoulder to shoulder and cheered for Ochoa. Expect him to have a miracle to perform.

Neymar is different from Yan Feng, he does not have the terrifying shooting power of Yan Feng. What he needs is tricky angles and a disrupting of goalkeeper judgment.

And just as Neymar was about to start, Ochoa suddenly shook his finger at him quickly. This made Neymar's heart beat half a beat faster. This disrupted Neymar's rhythm.

"Bang!" Ochoa couldn't judge the right direction with a shot that sought angle. But this ball brought out a 'bang!' again.

“NO!!!”

Neymar knelt down with his face in his face. Behind him, however, the Granada players rushed towards the goal like crazy.

"Wow!!Champion! Champion is ours!"
