Coming back to the top, the biggest heroes of this season's European Champions League will certainly be greeted with the warmest welcome, especially when these Blackburn Rovers heroes return to Blackburn.

Blackburn Rovers Club, the only thing known to the world about the small town of Blackburn. But at Lancashire Airport, all the fans who welcomed the Blackburns at the airport were as quiet as if they were asleep, they didn't drink but they were fluttering, and the screams of the fans rang out as the Blackburn stars stepped out of the hatch.

Blackburn's heroes boarded the parade to greet countless Blue Devils fans.

Yes, "Blue Devil"!

After Blackburn Rovers won the Premier League three times in four years, successfully defended the Champions League, and won the treble this season, Blackburn's "Blue Devils" title is like Manchester United's "Red Devils" resounding throughout the world football!

On the pitch in Istanbul, Blackburn Rovers came back to life after being hit three times in a row, and after performing such an impossible mission, the fans of the Blue Devils around the world do not know how much.

As one tourist in Istanbul said, "I didn't know what football was before, but from this moment on, I was a Blackburn Rovers fan." ”

The heroes of Anfield, who return to their hometown, can hear the tsunami-like Blackburn anthem -- "Guns and Roses".

Arthur, who is the club's chairman, said: "I always say that Blackburn Rovers are the best fans in England and now that has to be reversed, I must say that Blackburn Rovers are the best fans in Europe. ”

Of course, the team's manager, Jose Mourinho, was also enthusiastically followed by the Blue Devils fans, and everyone shouted Mourinho's name in the sea of fans who welcomed Blackburn.

One Blue Devils fan said: "The golden combination of the two of them is our magic weapon! ”

A female Blackburn fan next to him said: "Arthur is much kinder than Mourinho, he is the kind of person who will pick you up and kiss you on the cheek. Mourinho, on the other hand, seems to take the cold route, always wearing a trench coat, but he is a handsome and beloved man. ”

Blackburn's victory has become the pride of the whole of Britain, and among the countless praises they have received, the blessings of the British royal family and the top of the government are indispensable.

Queen Elizabeth II was visiting Canada when the match was played in Turkey, but as soon as she learned of Blackburn's magical performance, the Queen immediately sent her congratulatory message to the club: "Congratulations on last night's extraordinary performance, this great victory brought glory to the club, and the result of this game will be remembered by Blackburn Rovers and our country even after many years." ”

And after the queen returned, she also arranged to meet with Blackburn's entire team, and even Arthur received an additional reward in advance that he would be honored.

Ferguson was knighted after Manchester United won the treble in 1999, but this time it was Arthur's turn.

In addition to the royal family, the British government also reacted in its own way, with Prime Minister Tony Blair sending a congratulatory message that read: "This is an unbelievable and brilliant result, and the whole country is proud of you." ”

In addition, Maradona, who was once disappointed by the AC Milan defeat, said a few days ago that he is now a Blackburn fan due to Blackburn's performance and the influence of the Blue Devils' passionate fans.

And the French celebrity Platini had to apologize to Arthur for sentencing Blackburn to "death" in advance at halftime.

Maradona was a guest of comment on Sky Sports and went to Istanbul to watch the match.

Speaking after the game, the green pitch star said: "I'm very disappointed, everyone who has played in Italy knows that if you go three goals in the first half, the game is actually over, but ...... Even the Brazilian national team in 1970 would not have staged such a comeback...... Blackburn Rovers won, but in my opinion, they are not the best team in Europe. It can be said that Maradona at that time was still in the shock of AC Milan's loss of the championship.

But three days later, Maradona's tone has changed somewhat, and he is now a Blackburn fan. The Argentine said: "This Premier League team proves that miracles do exist. I now see Blackburn Rovers as a Premier League team that I support because they prove that football is the most beautiful sport in the world. Everyone knows they're good at defending, but this team has shown that they can attack too, and they've written their own page in the history books. This game will be a classic forever. ”

Maradona also spoke highly of the passion of the Blackburn fans, saying: "In the stands of that game, the ratio of Blackburn to Milan fans was 10:3, and those Blue Devils fans didn't let me sleep well on the eve of the game. They gave their team unconditional support, and even after being 3-0 down at half-time, they didn't stop singing! ”

Maradona's transition from sympathizing with AC Milan to becoming a Blackburn Rovers fan was nothing awkward, but for French football legend Michel Platini, he made a big joke.

Platini watched the game as a member of the UEFA executive committee, and in the first half AC Milan led by three goals, and at half-time he said to Arthur: "Mr. President, I think the second half is just a practice match to reduce losses. ”

However, Arthur told him in no uncertain terms: "With 45 minutes left in the game, anything can happen." ”

"After the game, Michelle came up to me and said, 'I'm so sorry for what I said!' Arthur laughed when revealing the episode.

However, this little episode was very popular with Arthur, because it was an opportunity for him to establish a degree of personal friendship with Platini, and although it had no impact at the moment, Arthur knew that this would be very beneficial in dealing with the notorious future UEFA president.

Arthur will not care about the senses of fans of other teams, and as long as he has the opportunity, his Blackburn Rovers will definitely be close to Michel Platini, who was the president of UEFA at the time, like Barcelona in the future.

Less than a few hours after returning to Blackburn, Blackburn began the celebratory parade, which attracted more than 700,000 fans from all over the country. Blackburn's urban population is less than 120,000.

And what about the Italians?

The editorial of the newspaper Sport Milano read: "Unbelievable. Milan lost a trophy they had already won. In a bad way. Very bad way. Very, very bad way. ”

The Swedish evening newspaper Aftonbladet, the largest newspaper in Northern Europe, ran this brilliant comment: "Is Blackburn worthy of this trophy?" What do you mean? I saw Ibu dancing, Larson sobbing, and 30,000 people singing in unison. The question is not whether they are worthy of it, but whether we ourselves are worthy of such a final, whether we ourselves are qualified to judge such a championship battle. ”

In this season's Champions Cup, the "Blue Devils" can be described as fame and fortune. The win over AC Milan in the final alone brought in £4.5 million for Blackburn Rovers.

According to the latest statistics from the world-renowned Deloitte accounting firm, Blackburn's direct income in this Champions Cup is as high as 50 million pounds, far exceeding the figures when they won the Champions League for the first time last season.

Blackburn Rovers have a total of £20.2 million in win money and global televising. With England teams earning more television than Europe, Blackburn Rovers earned £9.2 million from home country for the Champions Cup, a figure that is much more than when they won the trophy last season. Combined with Blackburn's matchday ticket revenues and sponsorship from sponsors, Blackburn have earned more than £50 million in direct revenue from the Champions Cup this season. Additional sponsorship or other forward benefits from winning the championship are not taken into account.

Deloitte partner Dan Jones revealed: "The long-term income from winning the Treble is also very impressive, and this win adds to the value brand of Blackburn Club, which was valued at $300 million at the beginning of the year and is now up at least 20 per cent. ”

Blackburn's excellent results this season have made it more convincing for sponsors to estimate the commercial impact and potential value of the club.

After winning the title, Blackburn's main shirt sponsor, South Korea's Samsung, has announced a three-year contract extension with Blackburn Rovers for £6 million a year.

Blackburn Rovers earned £117 million last season, up 11 per cent, largely influenced by their first Champions League triumph the previous season. In the past few years, Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra and Hollywood studios have all tried to invest in Blackburn Rovers, but in the end, Arthur's hardline attitude has failed.

Blackburn's Triple Crown will have more influence on a global scale, and it is believed that this golden sign will soon attract more investors.

In any case, the people of Blackburn Rovers have been crowned treble this season after winning Europa last year, and they will have to carry the revelry through to the end. (To be continued.) )
