Two long whistles ended after four minutes of stoppage time as AC Milan beat Barcelona 3-2 to claim the 2008-09 European Cup.

In the final minutes, AC Milan kept their control at the top and Barcelona were still at their wit's end. Ambrosini came up and down at right-back, Pomponluis joined by Nesta to form a centre-back partnership, and Barcelona didn't even have a chance to face them either.

Carlo Ancelotti's original 'Five 10s' tactic of competing with Barcelona for control and possession was a great success, and the superficial Ancelotti contributed another beautiful work of art to the football world, and this art cannot be replicated, because it is purely impossible to find such a distinctive but highly intelligent player with outstanding skills at his feet.

Barcelona averaged 61% possession in the previous Champions League journey, but the 'five 10s' against Milan plummeted to 41%, which is the most effective way to fight against Barcelona's 'Tikitaka', but it is so unrepeatable that even AC Milan itself is difficult to replicate.

Even if he didn't score, even if he was bullied by Messi for a moment, Zhuo Yang was still named the best player of the final with his outstanding performance and the first assist hat trick in the history of the Champions League final.

Zhuo Yang once again equalled his own record of 18 goals to become the top scorer in the Champions League in the 08-09 season, with Messi second with nine goals and Inzaghi third with eight goals. In the assist list, Zhuo Yang also leads with 12 times, Xavi has 8 assists, Scar Ribery has 6 times, and Messi has 5 times. Scar is the only entrant to this double list, otherwise Milan and Barcelona would have taken the top three of the double list in today's final, which also shows that these are the two best teams in Europe at the moment.

The sixth treble team in European football was born, AC Milan became the biggest winner, even in the prosperity of the former dynasty, Milan has never accomplished such a feat, even if it is as prosperous as the 'mini World Cup' in the past, the Apennines have never reached such glory.

The Barcelona once again regrettably missed the chance to build a dynasty, but this time they calmly accepted defeat compared to the unwilling defeat to Madiborg three years ago, as the Milanese beat themselves in what they do best, and the Barcelona lost convincingly.

Messi and Ronaldinho exchanged jerseys, he hugged him tightly and said: Congratulations, Ronnie. He said, "Come on, Leo."

Pique and Pompon, Henry and Beckham, Puyol and Nesta, Xavi and Pirlo, Eto'o and Kaka, Toure and Inzaghi. Everyone was looking for their acquaintances or old rivals, and Iniesta and Zhuo Yang took off their jerseys for each other.

In the last minute of the game just now, in order to stop Xiaobai in the middle circle, Zhuo Yang used a tactical foul to pull him down, ending the last possibility of Barcelona's equalizer and also receiving the last yellow card of the game.

Pep Guardiola called Andres Iniesta 'Barcelona's most modest player' because he is quiet and modest, and he does not dye his hair, has no tattoos and no studs, which is really rare in the colorful and individualistic football world, and Iniesta and Zhuo Yang are quite similar in this regard.

"Little white...... Can I call you Xiaobai? ”

"Of course! That's what everybody calls me. ”

In fact, Zhuo Yang has always felt that Iniesta's nickname 'Xiaobai' is weird, which reminds him of the dog in the cartoon Crayon Xiaoxin. And no one seems to know how the name 'Xiaobai' came about, maybe it's like Montolivo's 'second brother' has any privacy, Zhuo Yang can't understand it, and he doesn't dare to ask.

.

Red crumbs flutter in the air, swayed by the night breeze of early summer in Rome. The sky is full of colorful crumbs jumping in the wind, like the joy of Milanese, and sprinkled on everyone's shoulders and hair, like the joy of tonight.

This is AC Milan's eighth Champions League trophy, second only to Real Madrid's nine. In fact, if Real Madrid put aside the five consecutive Champions League titles at the beginning of modern football, they are far behind AC Milan.

It was also Paulo Maldini's sixth Champions League, and he equalled the football guru Real Madrid's Gento. Today is not over, Maldini is not yet retired, he is the only one of the active players. By tomorrow, the person with the most Champions League trophies among the active players will be Seedorf, and the old Sier has five.

On this night, Maldini did not refuse his teammates again, and after throwing Ancelotti in the air, they also threw Maldini high into the sky, he was like a Monkey King in the clouds.

Maldini used a Champions League final as his farewell match, a rare honour in the world of football. He was followed by Thomas Hassler, the current sporting director of Madiburg, who also said goodbye to his playing career with a UEFA Cup final, and Maldini failed to do so in that mid-game five years ago.

In fact, Maldini's performance today is average, perhaps because he finally came to this day to break his 41-year-old heart, so that the soul of football for 30 years can no longer be calm. Maldini was to blame for both of Milan's goals conceded, and he was a bit out of position when defending Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi, and to be fair, he was probably the least of the Milan squad in this game.

Two years ago, when the baton Costa Curta said goodbye at home, Zhuo Yang conceded a penalty to allow the old baton to finish the game with a goal, but two years later it was Maldini's turn, and everyone couldn't find a chance to let him go away.

But what does it matter? Scoring or not scoring goals, or performing well or not can erase Maldini's outstanding contribution to the game throughout his life, and he still holds the record for the oldest starter, the oldest captain on the pitch and the fastest goal in the final (52 seconds against Liverpool in 2005).

During the decade between Sacchi and Capello from 1987 to 1996, AC Milan established the illustrious 'Milan dynasty', a decade of domination and even bullying of Europe, during which Milan's banner was Franco Baresi.

The next until 2006 was the 'post-dynastic era', although AC Milan was no longer able to dominate the whole of Europe, but it was still one of the pinnacle teams in football, during which Milan won the Champions League twice and once, during which Maldini held the banner of Milan.

Since 2006, AC Milan, who won the Champions League twice and the UEFA Cup three times in the past three years, is undoubtedly the most successful team in Europe and the world during this period. It was also the last three years of Maldini's handing over the scepter to pass the flag, and the unrivalled treble was the final to his legacy.

In order to distinguish between the 'Milan dynasty' and the 'Barcelona dream team', the world football world calls AC Milan after 2006 - the Milan Empire!

Who is the king of the empire?

Neon and fireworks lit up the Roman night sky, and Zhuo Yang and the Milanese unleashed their joy. Sleepless tonight, a grand parade of floats awaits them in Milan tomorrow to bring the Big Ears Cup back to join the Serie A and FA Cup trophies.

Maldini's face was red in the night sky, and he said to Zhuo Yang: "Two years ago in Athens, you said to me, 'Why don't you win the sixth Champions League and then go?'" I took it today, thank you, Zhuo Yang. ”

"Thank you, Paulo Maldini, thank you, AC Milan!"
