The Lakers' all-out win capped off the NBA2015-2016 season, and after setting a series of impressive records, the title may be etched in basketball history.

Less than 24 hours after the first game of the NBA Finals, Milan's San Siro Stadium on the Apennine Peninsula of the European continent ushered in the 16th Champions League final!

Defending champions Barcelona have lost the league title and the Copa del Rey in the domestic league by Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, but they have remained competitive enough in Europe. After beating a number of tough opponents in a row, Barcelona managed to reach the Champions League final for the second year in a row, and they are only one step away from successfully defending their title.

Since the restructuring of the European Champions Cup, no team has ever been able to successfully defend the title, whether it is the Galaxy Battleship in its heyday or the Barcelona of Dream 3, it has not been able to escape this fate. Barcelona is expected to break this spell this year, and naturally it has attracted the attention of the media and fans.

As for Barcelona's final opponents, Newcastle United, they have become the biggest dark horse in this season's Champions League, and they have made it all the way from the third round of qualifying to the final.

Two years ago, Newcastle were struggling in the relegation circles of the Premier League, and three years further back, they are a Championship team that has actually been far away from Europe's top football for many years.

It all started in the summer when Xiao Feng took charge of the Magpies, and in just two years, Newcastle United completed an epic transformation and managed to become one of Europe's top clubs.

After Xiao Feng bought Newcastle, he spent more than 200 million pounds of real money, brought in top stars including Di Maria and Alonso, improved the software and hardware facilities of the training base, and made some changes to St James' Park. These investments, as well as the subsequent ticket price reduction actions, immediately made Xiao Feng warmly welcomed by Magpie fans. In just a few months, he has established himself at the club.

In the 2014-15 season, Newcastle United broke the multi-year title drought by winning the English League Cup, and finished fourth in the Premier League to secure a Champions League place.

For a team that struggled in the relegation zone last season, such a change is a radical change. Fans in the north of England and the English media, who were originally skeptical about Xiao Feng's ownership, soon became Xiao Feng's fans. Compared to Ashley, Xiao Feng's generosity has won the unanimous recognition of players, fans and the media, even if he rarely appears at St James's stadium to watch games, which does not affect his status at the club.

When Xiao Feng became the Lakers' main point guard, the northern part of England became the NBA's highest-rated place in overseas markets outside of China, and many Newcastle fans did not forget to tune in to watch the Lakers' games late at night.

It can be seen that Xiao Feng won fans in the north of England in less than two years, which Ashley could not do in 10 years.

Summer 2015. Xiao Feng continued to take out his cheque book, invested a net transfer fee of 100 million pounds for Newcastle, bought Cavani and Lewandowski two big players, and introduced many players who have proven themselves in the Premier League to further enhance the strength of the team.

Newcastle's performances have been even more impressive this season, with Alan Shearer's side running in more fluidly and showing amazing fighting power from the third round of Champions League qualification.

Although the Magpies lost the English League Cup just before Christmas. But anyone with a discerning eye can see that the magpie has strategically abandoned the situation of fighting on four fronts. More energy has been put into the three more important fronts.

Just as the Christmas Devils were on schedule, Newcastle got more respite, not only winning the Premier League halfway title in one fell swoop, but also reaching the quarterfinals of the FA Cup and qualifying for the Champions League group, laying a good foundation for the trend of the whole season!

Looking back now, how wise Newcastle's move to abandon the Carabao Cup was. After all, Premier League teams are more intensive, which puts forward higher requirements for the physical fitness and body of players.

It was a bumper season for Newcastle in May, as they not only won the top-flight title two rounds ahead of schedule after a 69-year absence, but also beat Manchester City at Wembley Stadium on 28 May. Won the FA Cup and became England's domestic double!

The huge changes in the past two years have left Newcastle fans at a state of dazed aftermath and even more miraculous as a team that has reached the final of the Champions League.

Happiness came so suddenly!

After watching the owner lead the Lakers to defeat the Cavaliers at Staples Arena, the Magpies fans in the north of England set off on a starry night and took a flight to Milan!

In order to better organise the 30,000 fans to travel to Milan, Newcastle FC started to act as early as the final, arranging through various channels.

The road from Newcastle to Milan is more than 1,600 kilometres, but for many cash-strapped fans, much of their money is spent on buying tickets and accommodation in Milan, and they have to choose cheaper overland transport to Milan.

To this end, Newcastle Club specially organized more than 200 luxury buses to carry fans to Milan, followed by thousands of private cars to Milan, the mighty convoy also made the traffic police departments of the passing countries very nervous, after all, nearly 20,000 fans have a very high combat effectiveness.

As a result, the global media that followed the filming and interviews saw this huge convoy passing through the Channel Tunnel and heading to the European continent under the escort of traffic police from various countries.

Newcastle FC's generosity and good organisation in this campaign was also widely praised by the media, after all, there are not many clubs willing to do this for the average fan.

In addition to this, Newcastle FC also provided fans with free water, bread and more than 100 paramedic and 10 ambulances in motorway service areas along the route.

When the fans of other clubs were interviewed by the media, although their tones were a little sour, the envy between the lines could not be concealed.

Newcastle Football Club spent at least £1 million on this campaign, but it has won the unanimous recognition of fans, media and even England and UEFA officials, and can better integrate into the European football family.

Xiaobei, who is well aware of the whole plan, admires the five-body throw of his boss for his foresight, sometimes. The more generous you are, the easier it is to win more, and the more stingy you are, the easier it is to lose what is rightfully yours.

According to some European clubs, at most it is good to provide some support to fans such as inquiries, medical care, small commodities, etc., but more actions need to be organized by fan groups, which invisibly increases the burden on fans.

But Newcastle FC has a 'people-oriented' ethos. Provide the most meticulous free service for these fans in an all-round way, which can not only preserve the most vigorous combat effectiveness for the team during the game, but also accumulate a good reputation for the club.

As Newcastle FC accelerates its internationalisation, its future will certainly not be limited to tiny England, but will be the vast market of Eurasia.

Today, Newcastle Club's every move, after being widely disseminated by the media, is well-known by fans around the world and has established a good image, which has laid a good foundation for future marketing.

In addition to the 18,000 fans who traveled to Milan by land. More than 10,000 Newcastle fans have flown to Milan from around the globe to prepare for the Champions League final.

Among them, fans from China occupy a considerable part, after all, the Chinese market is a very important part of Newcastle club, and one-fifth of the club's tickets are sold to Chinese fans through Brilliant Travel Agency.

These Champions League final tickets are combined with Brilliant Travel Group's European 10 Days 9 Nights travel package, allowing fans to enjoy international fashion in Milan, classical architecture in Rome and the Renaissance in Florence in Italy after watching the Champions League matches. Then go to Venice to experience the charm of the water city, followed by France to experience the lavender of Provão and so on.

Because of the cooperation of the 'Jinghu Group'. Brilliant Travel Group has become an indispensable part of China's foreign tourism industry, sending more than 1 million tourists to the United States and England every year, and its foreign travel business revenue exceeded 20 billion RMB in 2014, successfully ranking among the three major travel agencies in China.

Relying on the 'Newcastle Club', the Lakers and the 'Dream Spot', Brilliant Travel can design different travel packages for domestic tourists, which can meet the travel needs of different classes and people.

This time. Newcastle United reached the Champions League final, but Brilliant Travel spent a lot of money to promote this travel route in China, and achieved excellent results.

The 6,000 tickets were sold out in just three days, and the total price of the tickets and travel expenses was 51,888RMB, which could bring 300 million RMB of revenue to Brilliant Travel Agency. That's 1% of 15 years of annual revenue!

As a result, people can see many Chinese faces wearing Newcastle black and white sword stripes near the San Siro stadium, and some of them even carry bright red flags, which has also become a beautiful scenery!

…………

At eight o'clock in the evening of June 8 local time in Milan, the much-anticipated 2016 Champions League final officially kicked off, and it was the Swiss Busaka who enforced the law for both sides.

In this campaign, both sides are elites, and there are no big names or main players who are absent due to injuries and suspensions, so both sides can only rely on their own strength to fight for the final victory.

On Newcastle's side, the forward combination of Cavani and Lewandowski has scored 52 goals in 38 rounds of the Premier League, becoming the best striker partner in the history of the Premier League, in addition to 21 goals in this year's Champions League, and Messi, Suarez and Neymar on the Barcelona side are the best trident in the history of Barcelona and even European football, they scored a total of 122 goals in the process of winning the six crowns last season, which is staggering!

As for the comparison of the strength of the midfield and backfield, both sides also have their own merits, and it is really impossible to easily judge who can win on paper!

According to the analysis of professional media such as "Bild", the starting lineups of both sides in this Champions League final are worth more than 1 billion pounds, and the players on the bench will not be worth less than 600 million pounds.

Judging from the handicap offered by the spinach companies in Europe, the bookmakers are also quite cautious, and the odds are not much different, and the reason why Barcelona has the advantage is because it has enough experience in the competition, compared to Newcastle FC is a pure rookie.

As the game progressed, Barcelona gradually controlled the rhythm of the game, which was expected by many fans, media and experts, but Newcastle United is not a vegetarian, and the cold counterattack still has enough power to scare Barcelona into a cold sweat!

Although the two sides played 0:0 in the first half, the scene was not dull at all, and the back-and-forth attacks of both sides and the flash of inspiration of talented players made the game full of highlights.

After entering the second half, it was found that the balance of the game gradually tilted in favor of Newcastle, and the abundant fitness allowed the Newcastle players to still be alive after completing an hour of play, but on the contrary, the Barcelona players were a little tired because of the decline in fitness.

In fact, this is also an important reason why Newcastle have been invincible this season, the physiotherapy masseur from China and the 'space spirit spring' have kept Newcastle's players away from injuries, and they have more physical energy than others, and can often win more opportunities in the final stage of the game.

In Newcastle's games this season, they have had 15 games in which they equalized or even overtook in the last 20 minutes of the game, and they are full of momentum!

In this Champions League game, Newcastle United showed this characteristic to the fullest, and their solid defense consumed too much energy from Barcelona in the first hour of the game, and they gradually gained the upper hand as the game entered the final stage!

In the 74th minute, Lewandowski received a set-piece pass from Alonso in the penalty area, and knocked through Barcelona's goal with his head, opening the door to victory for the team!

After conceding the goal, Barcelona counterattacked, but gave the Magpies more opportunities to counterattack at the back, Angel Di Maria counterattacked in the 86th minute, locking the score at 2:0!

At this point, Barcelona's dream of defending the title was completely shattered, and Newcastle United was less than ten minutes away from their first European Champions Cup!

As Busaka blew the whistle for the match, the winner was decided in the '16 Champions League final, with Newcastle United, reaching the final for the first time, beating defending champions Barcelona to claim England's second treble.

And Barcelona, the six-time champion last season, has no three lines and no results, which is in stark contrast to last year!

The 15-16 season was a fruitful season for Newcastle United, and the Treble title would officially put Newcastle FC on the laurels of England's top clubs. )

PS: PS: Happy Lantern Festival, folks, happy family!
