Lyon's 5-4 win over Barcelona to win the UEFA Super Cup has undoubtedly become big news in European football and has attracted reports from all sides.

In this goal battle of the UEFA Super Cup, a lot of records have been set.

The two teams combined to score nine goals, the most goals scored in a single game in the history of the UEFA Super Cup.

Zhang Chaoqiang wore a hat-trick in the game, becoming only the second player to complete a hat-trick in the European Super League since Falcao in 2012.

That year, Falcao scored a hat-trick in Atletico's 4-1 win over Chelsea.

At the same time, Zhang Chaoqiang wore a hat, Messi doubled, and both of them rose to the first place in the European Super League total goal list.

The number of goals in the European Super League's total goal list is three goals, which is currently held by Gard Muller, Falcao, Messi and Zhang Chaoqiang.

In addition, in the face of Barcelona's hat trick, Zhang Chaoqiang became the first person in football in the past ten years.

The last player to wear a hat against Barcelona was Diego Forlan, who scored three goals in a row in the 37th round of La Liga 04/05 in Villarreal's 3-3 draw with Barcelona.

If only European matches are counted, Zhang Chaoqiang is the fifth player in European history to face Barcelona to wear a hat.

In the first round of the 84/85 Cup Winners' Cup, Ligue 1 Metz defeated Barcelona 4-1 away, and Slovenian center Kurbos scored a hat-trick.

In the second round of the Champions League in the 85/86 season, Porto defeated Barcelona 3-1 at home, and Brazilian striker Juari scored a hat-trick.

In the first round of the group stage of the Champions League in the 97/98 season, Newcastle United defeated Barcelona 3-2 at home, and Colombian striker Asprilla scored a hat-trick.

In the fourth round of the Champions League group stage in the same season, Dynamo Kyiv defeated Barcelona 4-0 away, and the Ukrainian nuclear warhead Shevchenko scored a hat trick.

Now, Zhang Chaoqiang has become the fifth player to score a hat-trick against Barcelona in a European competition.

On the domestic network, it is another day to tout Brother Qiangzi.

"As an ordinary fan who occasionally watches the game, I watched this Super Cup with tears in my eyes."

"As a Barcelona fan, we just saw tears in our eyes."

"So, who's in tears?"

"As a fan who supports Brother Qiangzi, I didn't burst into tears, but I just jumped up and punched the air with a combo."

"Don't say it, Brother Qiangzi's two goals in extra time are all suffocating."

"Yes, I thought I was going to go to the penalty shootout, but I didn't expect Barcelona to suddenly make a killer goal, so Brother Qiangzi couldn't stand it, so he had to reluctantly score two goals for him, so that they could see what the real king of lore is."

"So, Barcelona, why do you have nothing to provoke him?"

"If it's a penalty shootout, it's not certain who wins and who loses."

"Even the treble champion Barcelona has been overturned, and Lyon's Champions League is expected."

"It's not Leon, it's Brother Qiangzi."

"Barcelona has been cut down, and other European giants are lining up one by one, waiting for Brother Qiangzi to come."

Zhang's hat-trick kicked Barcelona off in the UEFA Super Cup, as well as their dream of a six-time title.

Without the UEFA Super Cup, they would not have been able to scrape together six more titles.

Real Madrid fans are very happy about this, many of them ran to Zhang Chaoqiang's social media to express their gratitude, and many people Aite Real Madrid President Florentino asked him to sign Zhang Chaoqiang quickly.

"Great, Chinese Superman."

"You are a hero of Madrid."

"Haha, aren't they known as the strongest in history, but they were destroyed by Super Zhang alone?"

"Well done, super Zhang, hat-trick that shocked the world."

"They say the Argentines locked up the Ballon d'Or? So should the Golden Globe be awarded to the Chinese now? ”

"Perez, hurry up and sign him, the Bernabeu needs such a super talent."

In the last two seasons of the Champions League, Real Madrid won the championship by relying on the BBC, and then Barcelona reached the top with MSN.

Whose trident is stronger, the two fans are fighting with each other.

But Barcelona not only won the Champions League, but also won the treble, so the momentum is even stronger, which makes Real Madrid fans very unhappy.

Now that Barcelona has been cut by Zhang Chaoqiang for a hat trick, Real Madrid fans are happy and full of praise for Zhang Chaoqiang.

After returning to France, Lyon received all kinds of praise from the French press.

The first French team to win the UEFA Super Cup, a real league honour.

But the league has to go on.

On August 16, in the second round of the French Ligue 1, Lyon challenged Guingamp away.

Having just finished a fierce UEFA Super Cup in midweek, Lyon's overall form is average.

But in the end, with Jordan Ferry's goal, he won 1:0 and successfully brought back three points.

That's how a strong team plays a weak team, some of them are not in great shape, but they can win by stumbling.

In the weekend league that was played at the same time, Grand Paris also won smoothly.

According to the estimates of the French media, the Ligue 1 title this season is still Lyon and Grand Paris competing against each other.

On the Spanish side, Barcelona, who had just lost the European Super Cup, went back to compete for the Spanish Super Cup, but suffered another heavy defeat.

Defeated Athletic Bilbao 0:4, and was also hatted by Bilbao striker Aduris.

It was an absolute shame that Barcelona had scored a hat-trick in two consecutive games in the space of a week.

You must know that in the Spanish Copa del Rey final last season, Barcelona defeated Bilbao 3:1 and won the championship without blood.

But now.

First Lyon, then Biba, then the Spaniards, and then nothing.

Many people are looking for reasons for Barcelona, and some believe that it is Neymar's absence that has caused MSN's suppressive power to weaken.

Some people also think that it was the defeat to Lyon in the UEFA Super Cup and the humiliation of Zhang Chaoqiang's hat trick, so they did not recover for a while.

In fact, they really wronged Zhang Chaoqiang.

In the previous life, there was no Zhang Chaoqiang, and Barcelona still lost to Biba.

In terms of peak combat effectiveness alone, MSN should be stronger than the BBC.

But the BBC has been more durable, helping Real Madrid win four Champions Leagues in five years.

MSN won the Triple Crown in the first year with peak performance and has never returned to the top since.

While Lyon are back in Ligue 1 competition, Fekir has been confirmed to be out for more than two months due to a serious injury.

At the time, Fekir looked like he had only suffered a minor injury.

I didn't expect to come back for a detailed examination, and it was so serious.

The injured constitution really can't afford to hurt.

Fekir was a key contributor to Lyon's triumph last season, and now he is out for a long time, which is very bad for Lyon.

The Lyon management had to make amends and try to find two inexpensive and practical midfielders from the transfer market.

Aolas moved quickly, first signing former France international Matthew Valbuena on a free transfer, and then bringing in Spanish midfielder Sergi Dadel from La Liga Malaga for 12 million euros.

After bringing in two midfielders in a row, Lyon also spent 3 million euros to bring in Brazilian right-back Rafael, who no longer has a place at Manchester United, to replace the veteran Jalle.

That's basically the whole summer transfer for Lyon.
