At the end of the Champions League, Zhang Chaoqiang, who wore a hat bravely, instantly appeared on the front page of the media in European countries.

"Chinese Superman scores hat-trick, Chelsea suffer a miserable defeat away"

"The French Demon Star amazed the audience, and the Blues suffered a fiasco for all of them"

Chelsea are on the verge of going out after a 3-1 defeat away

"Super Zhang Shenyong wears a hat, the first hat of the Champions League knockout round is officially born"

All major media have given Zhang Chaoqiang a lot of space, and this hat trick is indeed amazing enough.

Even Chelsea's interim boss Guus Hiddink said in his post-match press conference: 'We know Super Zhang, we know he has the ability to score goals and we're trying to defend him. ”

'But that's how it turned out, he beat us with a hat-trick.

'Maybe it's because he's better than we expected, so the players weren't prepared.

Hiddink, this guy probably gave up on himself.

Chelsea are likely to be out of the Champions League round of 16, and he will definitely not be able to turn positive, and he will not have to worry about anything, he can say whatever he wants.

Zhang Chaoqiang also took to social media after the match to celebrate: "It was a wonderful moment. ”

Accompanied by a photo of yourself kneeling in celebration.

For Zhang Chaoqiang, this hat trick really satisfied him, and it was more comfortable than the senior happiness of facing Paris away in Ligue 1.

After all, it is the Champions League, and both the attention and the level of the event are much higher.

As soon as Zhang Chaoqiang's news was sent, a large number of fans immediately came to congratulate him.

"Super Zhang, well done!"

"This hat-trick is fantastic."

"It's so exciting, I saw Sylvain and Baftimbi score hat-tricks, but nowhere near as exciting as Super Zhang's."

"Chelsea's bus is a complete stroller in front of Super Zhang."

"Haha, Chelsea are only 12th in the Premier League, we are second in Ligue 1, of course they can't beat us."

'Seven shots, five on target, three goals, it was just a perfect performance.'

"We've got the perfect first leg and we're going to qualify for the quarter-finals in three weeks."

"If Super Zhang can keep up this form, we shouldn't limit our sights to the quarterfinals, we can fantasize about more."

"Super Zhang, don't waste your time in Lyon, come to the Bernabeu, this is where you can show yourself."

"Real Madrid bastards get out of here, Super Zhang will never leave Lyon."

"Yes, Real Madrid bastards get out of here, Camp Nou is the place to be more suited to Super Zhang."

In Lyon's history, there have been two Champions League hat-tricks before.

In the round of 16 of the 04/05 Champions League, the French champion Lyon met the Bundesliga champion Werder Bremen, which was originally considered a close series, but unexpectedly scored a slaughter.

In the first leg, Lyon won 3:0 away and basically locked up the promotion.

In the second leg, Werder Bremen was not convinced and wanted to get back on the field, so they launched a fierce attack at the Stadium in Gerland, which was completely penetrated by Lyon's defensive counterattack, playing a single game with a score of 7:2 and advancing with a total score of 10:2.

In the second leg, Lyon striker Sylvain Wiltord scored a hat-trick.

In the group stage of the Champions League in the 11/12 season, Lyon defeated Dinamo Zagreb 7:1 away, and Lyon striker Gomi scored another big four.

These were the only two hat-tricks in Lyon's history.

But overall, those two hat tricks are not as valuable as Zhang Chaoqiang's.

In addition, Zhang Chaoqiang scored three goals in the group stage of the Champions League, and now scored a hat-trick in the first leg of the round of 16, which brought his total number of goals in the Champions League this season to six, breaking the record again.

First of all, Zhang Chaoqiang equalled Wiltord in 04/05 and tied for the most Champions League goals in Lyon's history.

Secondly, with six goals scored in a single season, Zhang Chaoqiang became the Asian player with the most goals in the Champions League in a single season.

Third, the total number of goals in the Champions League is six, and Zhang Chaoqiang successfully surpassed Park Ji-sung to become the Asian player with the second most goals in the Champions League.

Lyon has not had a top striker in the history of the team for a long time, even during the seven consecutive Ligue 1 titles, it is relying on the midfield dominance of Juninho Jr. as the core to dominate Ligue 1, so the Champions League goal statistics have not been high.

In the 04/05 season, Wiltord scored six goals for Lyon, which was the all-time record of the team.

Now Zhang Chaoqiang has a good chance to break the team history record.

As for Asian records, Asian players have never been the norm in the Champions League, and overall goal statistics have been low.

The top scorer is Uzbek striker Maxim Shatskikh, who has played in the Champions League with Ukrainian Super League side Dynamo Kyiv for many years, scoring 12 goals in qualifying matches and 11 goals in the main season, both of which are the highest records of any Asian player.

Outside of Shatskich, the Asian player with the most goals in the Champions League is Park Ji-sung, who has scored four goals in 54 Champions League games.

Now Zhang Chaoqiang has become second in Asia with 6 goals.

As for Son Heung-min, he played two seasons in the Champions League at Bayer Leverkusen, scoring without scoring in the first season and five goals in the second, but two were in qualifying.

Therefore, Son Heung-min's Champions League goals are only 3 for the time being.

Along with the match between Lyon and Chelsea, there are also three other Champions League last-16 matchups in midweek.

Arsenal lost 2-0 at home to Barcelona, PSV Eindhoven drew 0-0 at home to Atletico Madrid and Juventus drew 2-2 at home to Bayern Munich.

In last week's four Champions League round of 16 match-ups, the second-placed team suffered defeats.

But this week, only Arsenal pulled their hips and the other three teams did not lose.

Lyon, in particular, beat Chelsea 3-1 at home and directly qualified for second place in the strongest group.

At the same time, some media began to cry out for former Real Madrid coach Benitez.

In addition to Chelsea's change of manager in the Champions League round of 16 this season, Real Madrid also sacked tactician Rafael Benitez in January to bring B coach Zinedine Zidane to the top.

The reason for Benitez's dismissal is of course because of his poor record, after all, La Liga is behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Especially in the Spanish national derby, when Messi was injured and only Neymar and Suarez were left, Benitez actually led the team to a 0:4 defeat to Barcelona at home.

On top of that, Real Madrid also misused suspended players in the Copa del Rey and were directly awarded a loss.

In addition, the Champions League group stage loss to Lyon is also considered Benitez's culpability.

However, with Lyon's 3-1 home win over Chelsea, there is a renewed look at Lyon and it is widely believed that Lyon have the ability to play a dark role in this season's Champions League.

By the way, in the latest Champions League scorer list, Zhang Chaoqiang's ranking surged with 6 goals, rising from tenth to third in the scorer list.

For the time being, only Ronaldo and Lewandowski are in front of Zhang Chaoqiang.

Ronaldo has scored 12 goals, and Zhang Chaoqiang is only half of the opponent, and he will not be able to catch up for a while and a half.

Lewandowski scored 7 goals, only one goal ahead of Zhang Chaoqiang, and had every chance to catch up.

However, Thomas Muller, Griezmann, Suarez and others have scored five or six goals, and they also have a chance to surpass Zhang Chaoqiang.
