The reason why Feng Quan was able to score this thunderous goal was not only because the Espanyol players were negligent in guarding against him, but also because he used the skill of [Heavy Artillery].

Actually, Feng Quan himself didn't want to use this skill in this game, after all, the system used to use him at high speed before, and using the skill in a poor physical condition will not only accelerate the consumption of physical energy, but also increase the chance of physical injury.

Sure enough, after Feng Quan used the [Heavy Artillery] skill to help Atletico Madrid equalize, he fell on the lawn due to the unstable center of gravity, and this fall also sprained his left ankle.

…………

After seeing Feng Quan's thunderous long-range goal, Diego Simeone, who had a solemn face, jumped up from his position as if he had pulled the ejection seat of a fighter jet, and then waved his fists excitedly while running to the sidelines to celebrate the goal with the players.

However, when Diego Simeone saw that Feng Quan, who had just helped his team equalize, could not get up from the turf and hugged his left foot with a painful expression, his face was even more ugly than before his team equalized.

Even if Atletico Madrid loses today's game, it will only lose three points and lose the place that temporarily occupies the top spot in La Liga. However, if the team's absolute main force is plagued by injuries because of this game, it may even affect the team's final results this season.

After all, for Atletico Madrid, which cannot be compared with the "top two in the Western Super League" in terms of recruitment funds, once Feng Quan suffers a serious injury, there is simply not enough money to bring in an offensive player of Feng Quan's level.

It is precisely because of this that Diego Simeone would rather lose this game than see Feng Quan and several other absolute main players of the team injured.

So, while beckoning team doctor Pedro Aquino to enter the field to check on Feng Quan's specific situation, Diego Simeone asked assistant coach Herman Boggs to call Adrian Lopes on the bench to warm up so that he could be ready to replace Feng Quan at any time.

At the same time, in order to keep the game going, the referee asked the staff on the sidelines to lift the wind to the outside of the field before agreeing to Pedro Aquino to examine him in detail.

Due to the temporary situation of the team in a state of "playing one less", Diego Simeone except for Diego Costa to continue to stay in the Espanyol half to harass, the rest of the Atletico Madrid players all retreated to their own half to defend.

Three minutes later, even though Pedro Aquino's "diagnosis" of Feng Quan was only a mild sprain of his left ankle, Diego Simeone replaced Feng Quan with Adrian López for the sake of safety.

Although team doctor Pedro Aquino believes that Feng Quan's ankle sprain is not very serious, it will only take about 10 days at most to fully recover. However, for the sake of safety, Diego Simeone still asked the staff who followed the team to the El Prat Stadium to immediately take Feng Quan to the nearest hospital for a comprehensive examination in order to confirm the specific injury of Feng Quan.

Espanyol, who have the advantage of being at home, although they are not willing to get only one point at their home stadium, but because Aguirre has replaced the relationship between Pizzi and Simao, the two attacking midfielders, in order to maintain a one-goal lead, the lack of organizational ability in the midfield is also difficult to pose a substantial threat to the goal of Atletico Madrid.

In the end, in the case of Atletico Madrid's full retreat, although the Espanyol team occupied the initiative on the field in the last ten minutes, it was unable to break through the opponent's goal due to the lack of discipline in the attack.

…………

Although it was almost 11pm after the match against Espanyol, Atletico Madrid had to travel to Vienna, Austria in three days to play the third round of the Champions League group stage.

Therefore, after the game, Atletico Madrid immediately took the club's bus back to Madrid overnight.

Feng Quan, who was taken to the local hospital in Barcelona by the club staff, completed a series of examinations by the time it was already more than one o'clock in the morning on October 20.

Since the others had already returned to Madrid, Feng Quan and the club staff who accompanied him to the hospital found a random hotel to stay.

Although Feng Quan's examination results were slightly better than the team doctor's estimate of Pedro Aquino (he can recover after a week of rest), he is still in a bad mood as this is the first time Feng Quan has suffered an injury since switching to football.

Feng Quan has always believed that he who has a system will basically not suffer from injuries.

However, the sudden injury finally made Feng Quan realize that even with the help of the system, he is not an omnipotent "superman", and like other professional players, he cannot completely avoid the invasion of injury.

So, Feng Quan decided to accumulate enough skill points needed to upgrade the [Great God's Light], and then listed [Healing Materia Medica] as his next "goal". After all, the "artifact" of [Rehabilitation Materia Medica] has the magical effect of directly "halving the recovery time" regardless of the severity of the injury.

………………

Although Feng Quan was unable to travel to Vienna due to injury, Atletico Madrid comfortably defeated Austrian Viennese at home thanks to a brilliant performance by Diego Costa in the third round of the Champions League group stage on 23 October.

In this game, Felipe Luiz, who sat on the bench for 90 minutes in the last round of La Liga, returned to the starting line-up in place of Javi Manquillo, who made a major mistake in the game.

Less than five minutes into the first half, Felipe Luiz, who had returned to the starting line-up, sent a well-placed cross down the left side of the pitch for Diego Costa to open the scoring for the first time.

It was not only Diego Costa's third goal in three Champions League group games, but also the fastest away goal in Atletico Madrid's Champions League history.

Fifteen minutes later, Raul Garcia, who had started two games in a row, sent a delicate through ball near the midcircle of his own half.

Diego Costa burst the ball for nearly 30 metres before slotting home from 11 yards out on the left side of the box.

After the change of sides, Atletico Madrid completed Diego Costa's hat-trick in the ninth minute of the second half, when a wide cross from the side sent by Felipe Luiz helped Diego Costa score of the game.

After Atletico Madrid took a three-goal lead, Diego Simeone replaced the two main players of the game, Felipe Luiz and Diego Costa. The final score of this game was also fixed at 3-0.

After the end of this game, Diego Costa, who scored 15 goals in 9 official matches, temporarily ascended to the throne of "European top scorer".
