In the run-up to November, the Italian newspaper Torino Sport officially announced the shortlist for the 2015 European Golden Boy Award.

A total of 40 young players have been shortlisted, including almost all the talents of the right age in European football.

But everyone knows very well that the trophy has been basically locked by Zhang Chaoqiang.

For Zhang, the only slightly competitive opponent is Anthony Martial, who is known as the new Henry.

This guy moved to Manchester United at a sky-high price, and he really started well in the Premier League, and there is a certain competitiveness.

But compared with Zhang Chaoqiang, who led the team to defeat Barcelona Real Madrid, Martial is still much worse.

In addition, Zhang Chaoqiang was shortlisted for both the Ballon d'Or and the Golden Boy Award, which made him a super talented player comparable to well-known stars such as Wayne Rooney, Ronaldo, Messi, Cesc Fabregas, and Sergio Aguero.

By the way, in 2004, the year when the super-talents were the most involuted, Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney were both shortlisted for the Ballon d'Or, and they also competed with each other for the Golden Boy Award.

In the end, Wayne Rooney finished eighth in the Ballon d'Or and Cristiano Ronaldo was twelfth, both of which are very high rankings for young players.

At the same time, in the competition for the Golden Boy Award, Rooney successfully beat Ronaldo to win the trophy.

On November 3, the fourth round of the Champions League group stage.

The whole Lyon team came to Madrid, the capital of Spain, to challenge the famous Real Madrid away.

"Zhang, have you ever considered playing for Real Madrid in the future?"

"More on the future, I just want to focus on Lyon for now."

"Who do you think will win this year's FIFA Ballon d'Or?"

"Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, they've had a monopoly on this award for many years."

"Have you considered competing with them for the Golden Globe in the future?"

"I'm going to keep working in that direction."

At the pre-match press conference, Zhang Chaoqiang went to participate with the Lyon coaching staff and answered a few questions casually.

He has been attending press conferences more frequently this season, and the Lyon management are interested in helping him increase his exposure.

At 8:45 p.m. local time in Spain, the game time officially arrived.

The whole Lyon team entered the stadium, and everyone looked around curiously.

It's actually the same as most courses, but it's bigger and prettier.

But after all, this is the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, one of the most famous stadiums in the world, the home of the giants of the century, Real Madrid, a place that countless players and fans dream of visiting once.

In the Lyon squad, only Valbuena and Gonalones have visited the Bernabeu.

The former is the 09/10 Champions League group stage with Marseille away to Real Madrid, and the latter is the 10/11 Champions League round of 16 with Lyon away to Real Madrid.

But they only sat on the bench at the Bernabeu for 90 minutes and never played at all.

And they all lost the game, all with a score of 0:3.

So tonight's game, the whole Lyon team can be regarded as the first time to challenge the Bernabeu.

Zhang Chaoqiang was very casual, stealing two reactions from Ronaldo before the game, and filling up his reaction attribute to 80 points.

On Real Madrid's side, Benzema and Bale are still injured, and Ronaldo is still the only one on the front line.

It was midfielder Luka Modric who started the game, forming a golden midfield combination of Modric, Kroos and Casemiro.

Benitez's overall results since taking charge of Real Madrid this season have been acceptable, but he has also been exposed by the Spanish media with some stereotypical coaching news.

For example, he personally taught Ronaldo to shoot, and Modric was not allowed to pass the ball with the erratic outside instep.

Although the rumours are not true, Benitez did use Modric less than his predecessor Carlo Ancelotti.

Before Real Madrid played away against Lyon, Modric sat on the bench for the whole game and didn't get playing time at all.

But this time back at home at the Bernabeu, the Croatian was given a chance to start.

The game officially began, and Real Madrid will immediately go on the offensive.

The defeat away to Lyon in the last round has already subjected Real Madrid players to various criticisms.

After all, Lyon is not a European giant, and Real Madrid fans are a little uncomfortable with losing to such an opponent.

The key two teams still have some old feuds.

In the 05/06 season and 06/07 season of the Champions League group stage, Lyon and Real Madrid were in a group, and they both beat Real Madrid to steal the first place in the group with home wins and away draws.

Real Madrid were squeezed into second place in the group by Lyon for the second year in a row, and then they were eliminated in the round of 16 by strong opponents.

In the round of 16 of the Champions League in the 09/10 season, Lyon met Real Madrid again, and it was a home win and an away draw, and this time Real Madrid was directly eliminated.

It was the last year of Real Madrid's Champions League 16 years.

In the 10/11 round of Champions League last year of the following year, Real Madrid finally eliminated Lyon to complete revenge, and at the same time got rid of the hat of the Champions League sixteen.

It can be said that three of the six seasons of Real Madrid's Champions League sixteen season have been aggrieved by Lyon.

When they met Lyon again in the group stage of the Champions League this season, Real Madrid fans thought that they could make a double kill and have a good time.

After all, in terms of overall strength, the two teams are no longer what they used to be.

Unexpectedly, the first leg was lost to Lyon.

According to historical inertia, if you don't do it, you will be squeezed into the second group by Lyon again.

In the pre-match preparations, the Lyon coaching staff arranged to pursue a draw.

As long as they don't lose to Real Madrid away from home, there is a real chance to beat the opponent and win the group.

Lyon responded with a bucket at the Bernabeu and tried to hold on for a draw.

Cristiano Ronaldo volleyed, Raphael Varane headered, and Real Madrid threatened the Lyon goal in the first half, but could not find the back of the net.

Lyon's only threat was a powerful long-range shot from Alexandre Lacazette on the counter-attack, which almost grazed the crossbar and flew off the line, which was quite thrilling.

Not long after the start of the second half, Marcelo finally came off the field.

He seems to have accepted Benitez's special mission, and this game is dedicated to pestering Zhang Chaoqiang, and from time to time he makes small movements disgusting.

Unexpectedly, less than ten minutes into the second half, Marcelo strained his thigh while chasing Zhang Chaoqiang and was forced to go off the field.

What I didn't expect was that Real Madrid also scored because of this.

In the 63rd minute, Modric suddenly made a cold shot from outside the penalty area, and Bisevac immediately blocked the ball.

At this time, Nacho, who came on as a substitute, suddenly jumped up and cushioned the ball with his instep and directly cushioned the ball into the Lyon goal.

It was Nacho's maiden goal in the Champions League.

For the rest of the day, neither side achieved anything.

In stoppage time, Zhang Chaoqiang relied on the [Mr. Key] bonus to play a very good curve ball, but unfortunately it was slid through.

In this way, Lyon lost 0:1 away to Real Madrid, and failed to complete the feat of home and away draws, which they had achieved three times.

Since both sides won 1-0 at home, the relationship between the two teams was completely equal.

Whoever wins the group next will see who has the more goal difference.

According to the scores of the first two rounds of the group stage, Real Madrid temporarily had a goal difference over Lyon, so Real Madrid overtook Lyon again and grabbed the first place in the group.

In the other game in the same group, Shakhtar Donetsk beat Malmo 4-0 at home.

Lyon and Real Madrid are currently tied on nine points, while Shakhtar Donetsk and Malmo are tied on three.

The qualifying situation is already very clear, and it depends on who has more goal difference in the last two rounds of the group stage, and who can win the group.
