The flight from Madrid back to Leverkusen, Germany, was very quiet. Apart from the roar of the plane itself and the occasional cough, there was no other sound.
Even the flight attendants had finished their cabin service, returned to the rest areas at the front and back of the cabin, closed the curtains and chatted quietly.
It's not because the passengers are asleep.
It's because most of the passengers on the plane are depressed and don't want to talk.
Losing to the defending champion in an away game, the hope of qualifying for the group becomes increasingly slim... This is okay, because this result is not unexpected.
Not many people really believe that Vesseldorf can beat the in-form Madrid Pirates away from home.
But... losing 0:8 is definitely a different concept.
What does this score mean?
This is the biggest point difference in a single game in the history of the Champions League!
This is not the first game with the largest point difference. There have been eight-goal points differences before. But the opponents in those previous games were the result of encounters between teams in second- and third-rate leagues and real giants.
What about today's game?
Vesseldorf was fourth in the Bundesliga last season!
In Germany, Vesseldorf was also a strong player, but was beaten like this by the Madrid Pirates.
Such a tragic result, not only the people watching the game didn't understand, but the Vesseldorf players didn't understand either.
From the visiting team's locker room, to the bus, and then to the cabin of the plane.
Along the way, Vesseldorf's players basically spent their time in silence.
They could be said to have "hurriedly" fled back to the country.
On the same night, the Lyon Lions defeated Insoubre 1:0 at home. The French Ligue 1 runner-up became second in the group with four points, and also opened the distance from Vesseldorf.
Now it's not even a question of whether Vesseldorf can still participate in the Champions League knockout rounds, but whether Vesseldorf has a chance to participate in the Europa League knockout rounds...
But these are not problems in the face of a score of 0:8.
Head coach Oliver Schmidt apologized to the Vesseldorf fans at the post-match press conference, taking full responsibility for the loss on himself.
It is said that it was his risky and radical tactical choices that led to this historic defeat.
But he just wants to win, so what's wrong with that?
He wants to defeat the defending champion away from home, and there is only one way.
He chose the right approach, but did not get the right answer.
This is football...sometimes you try your best and put in your hard work and sweat, but you may not be able to reap results that are proportional to your efforts.
It's just that this time not only did I not gain any results, but I also lost everything.
An ordinary Champions League group match turned into a historic tragedy.
Every Vesseldorf player has been nailed to the team's pillar of shame.
For who knows how many years to come, this game will definitely be mentioned repeatedly and appear in various reviews.

Sugiyama Tatsuya flattened the seat, lay on it, closed his eyes, and forced himself to rest.
It seems that this night can be forgotten after just one sleep.
But he couldn't sleep no matter what.
As soon as he closed his eyes, it was the scene of Hu Lai making his iconic celebration in front of him.
And it's not just one time, it's actions from different perspectives.
A full six times.
Madrid Pirates defeated Vesseldorf 8-0 at home. Hu Lai scored six goals in this game!
Until now, Sugiyama Tatsuya would always unconsciously hear the roar of airplane engines in his ears as “huuuuu!
!”
Now Sugiyama Tatsuya has the same feeling:
Regret, very much regret.
Before the game, he vowed to make Hu Lai take him seriously as an opponent and go all out.
After the game, he really couldn't figure out what he was thinking at the beginning. Could it be that he was unknowingly infected by Morikawa Junpei's chuunippi temperament?
No, it's not Junpei's fault...
It's me, I have already regarded Hu Lai as my opponent very early on.
I really want to defeat him.
As an opponent, doesn’t it show respect for me to go all out?
It's just that Sugiyama Tatsuya never expected that Hu Lai would turn out to be so terrifying after going all out...
He recalled a scene in the game when Hu Lai and his teammates ran back to the Pirates half after celebrating his second goal.
At that time Hu Lai specially smiled at him.
At that time, Sugiyama Tatsuya thought that Hu Lai was challenging him to fight him to the fullest.
But now Sugiyama Tatsuya realized that maybe Hu Lai was really just laughing at him.
Laughing at him for overestimating his capabilities and actually wanting Hu Lai to go all out...
In the first half of the game, Hu Lai scored two goals, which is still within the normal range.
As a result, there was a big four in the second half - not two more goals in the second half for a total of four goals, but four goals in half the game...
This is really beyond the scope of ordinary people's understanding.
Six goals in a single game made Hu Lai the player with the most goals in a single game in the history of the Champions League.
In fact, he had already set this record when he scored his fifth goal.
But soon, twelve minutes later, he broke the record he had set.
If he had known that Hu Lai was so violent when he went all out, Sugiyama Tatsuya probably wouldn't have asked Hu Lai to go all out.
It's a completely bewildering act of suicide...
He can only be grateful now. Fortunately, when he communicated with Hu Lai, he used Japanese and no one around him understood it. Otherwise, if his teammates knew that he asked Hu Lai to go all out before the game, I really don't know how they would look at it.
Own……
I'm afraid you'll feel like you're an undercover agent, right?
But I didn’t know he would be so powerful after giving it his all!
Sugiyama Tatsuya really couldn't sleep, so he simply straightened his seat and sat up.
Looking around, I saw someone like myself sleeping.
But judging from their tossing and turning, it was obvious that not many of them could fall asleep.
Almost everyone can imagine how the German media and even the European media will evaluate this game tomorrow and how they will evaluate their performance.
In fact, there is no need to wait for tomorrow...
After the game, major institutions rated the players of both teams. Hu Lai, who completed two hat tricks, received an extremely rare perfect score of 10 - even the German media gave Hu Lai one point, in Germany's five-point scoring system
, one point is a perfect score.
He was also elected the best of the match, and he deserved it, no doubt.
As for Vesseldorf, no one in the team scored more than six points...
After looking around, Sugiyama Tatsuya sat slumped on his chair, not knowing how to face the world tomorrow.
They say time can heal all wounds, but this time the pain may take a long, long time to heal...

"A disgrace to German football!"
"Tonight is the darkest night for German football!"
"0:8! The biggest score difference in the history of the Champions League! This is not only a failure for Vesseldorf, I think it is also a failure for German football! All German teams should remember the night of October 24, 2029!"
…
"Good guy, this is just a hornet's nest... He has successfully become the number one public enemy of the German team, ha!"
While looking at his phone, Lin Zhiyuan complained.
Before the game was over, Lin Zhiyuan couldn't wait to pick up his phone and wanted to see what the Internet was saying about this crazy game.
As expected, he was not disappointed. It can be said that the German Internet was "extremely angry". All German fans collectively broke through the defense and seemed to have become Vesseldorf fans on this night.
"Weissedorf is really unlucky. It was just an ordinary Champions League game, but who knew it would set a record... Hu Lai wanted to chase Montiel's record, how could he stop?"
His agent Qiu Xinrong shook his head.
"No way, who would have thought before the game that Hu Lai could score six goals in one breath?" Lin Zhiyuan curled his lips.
"Yeah, who would have thought?" Qiu Xinrong sighed. "Who would have thought that it only took him one game to go from seventy-six goals to eighty-two goals? Tonight, I'm afraid the whole of Europe will be boiling.
…”

"Six goals in a single game! Eighty-two goals in a year! It's incredible. Hu actually did both of these things in one game. It's really him!"
John Setter looked at the message sent by Janus Erdmann on his mobile phone and couldn't laugh or cry.
Then he replied: "Your idol has become the public enemy of all Germany. Do you still admire him?"
Soon he received a reply from Edelman: "Isn't that great? Now I'm even more motivated to beat him, John!"
Seth: "As expected of you, Janus..."

Kabangka and his teammates came off the court and walked into the locker room talking and laughing.
They just finished their away game against Donbas Black and Gold and easily won 3:1.
This victory ensures that they are temporarily ranked first in the competition with London Bridge, which is very important for the team to qualify.
Halfway through the group stage, the match against the third-tier team in the group is a good opportunity to make the situation clear.
We can beat Donbas Black Gold away from home, and it won't be a big problem to win at home.
This is equal to six points.
Kabangka completed a hat trick in the game and was the biggest contributor to the team's win.
He is holding the match ball in his hand. This football will be collected by him as a commemoration of his hat trick - this is the first time he has scored a hat trick in the Champions League after moving to Catalonia United. It is indeed very memorable.
.
He decided to have his teammates sign the football.
His teammates were giving him autographs and making fun of him:
"Five goals in three games, Kabangka, you are going to win the Champions League Golden Boot this season!"
Kabanka just laughed when he heard this.
Then at this moment, he heard an exclamation from the locker room:
"What the hell? The Pirates beat Vesseldorf 8:0?!"
This voice attracted the attention of everyone in the locker room. Even Campuzano, who was signing an autograph for Capangka, turned his head and looked over.
Someone else asked uncertainly: "Isn't it just 2:0 in the first half? Six more goals were scored in the second half?!"
The exclaimed teammates did not answer him, but continued to exclaim:
"Hu scored six goals in one game?!"
No one asked questions this time because they were all shocked.
The exclamations continued:
"He's tied with Montiel like this?!"
Each piece of news is more shocking than the other.
The Catalan United players recovered from the initial shock and took out their mobile phones to check.
Then……
"it is true!"
"What the hell!"
"God, how did he do that?!"
"Has anyone before him scored six goals in a single Champions League game?"
"Don't talk about six goals, no one can do five goals!"
…
The locker room was as noisy as a train station.
Campuzano, who was signing an autograph for Kabangka, finished writing his name and handed the football to Kabangka.
This time he didn't joke about the latter again, because he was not in the mood at all.
Kabangka took the football and looked at the signed name on it.
Suddenly, I no longer want to continue looking for autographs from my teammates.
His own hat-trick is nothing compared to Hu Lai's series of achievements. What qualifications does he have to make a big show of asking for autographs?
That kid...the bad guy is really a good guy!

Sylvia was only wrapped in a bath towel, which actually didn't cover her top and bottom very well. When she walked, the towel trembled, which really made people worried that it would suddenly slip off.
After she walked out of the bathroom and saw Melly still sitting on the edge of the bed, she leaned over and hugged him tenderly from behind, while rubbing his ears:
"I'm ready……"
At this time in the past, when she had done this, Melly would be unable to help but turn over and press her down on the bed.
But today, the person in her arms made no movement and just looked at the mobile phone in her hand.
Sylvia was disappointed but also curious, and didn't understand what was going on.
Until she cast her eyes on Mellie's phone screen:
"Amazing achievement! Champions League single-game scoring record + 82 goals!"
"...In an ordinary Champions League group match that just ended, Madrid Pirates defeated Vesseldorf 8:0 at home. This game set a number of records, such as the record for the largest single-game score difference in the history of the Champions League.
The single-game scoring record in the history of the Champions League... In addition, Hu also scored his 82nd goal in 2029, tying the natural-year scoring record set by Celine Montiel and still standing today.
…”
Sylvia instantly understood why Mellie was indifferent to her.
She stopped talking, and just knelt on the bed, holding Mellie tightly in her arms from behind.
