When the ball flew into Bayern Munich's goal for the third time, the Bayern Munich fans in the San Siro stands lowered their heads and closed their eyes.
The 25-year wait is not over yet, we still have to wait!
Considering the overall age of the Bayern Munich players, they have already reached their peak in the past three years, and the blow of not being able to win the cup after reaching the finals twice in three years may be unbearable for many players.
How much potential does this team have?
There really aren't many left, unless relatively young players like Hargreaves and Sauer quickly improve their strength. Take Hargreaves as an example. How long will it take for his ability to surpass Jerry Mays at this time?
Even if his potential is higher than Jerry Metz, when his strength surpasses Jerry Metz, will the other Bayern Munich players still be at their peak?
Losing this time will be the end of a period of Bayern Munich's construction. It's not that they are not strong, it can only be said that they met the stronger Millwall.
Larson stood up from Kahn, stuck out his tongue and ran to celebrate.
Millwall fans at San Sirone went crazy.
3:0
There is no suspense about victory or defeat!
The commentator was marveling at Larsson's long-range header, the fans were reveling, and Aldridge was roaring to the sky unscrupulously.
It can be declared that Millwall successfully defended the Champions League!
There are about five minutes left in the game. Although Bayern Munich is still attacking, they don't dare to be too involved, for fear of being hit by counterattacks and conceding goals. 3:0 is a disastrous defeat. If they concede more goals, they will be massacred.
Got it!
In the 88th minute, Millwall used the last substitution to delay time. Klose was substituted and Larsson was substituted.
After the substitution, Hitzfield suddenly stood up and walked towards Aldrich. When he came to him, he stretched out his hand and said: "Congratulations to you and your team."
Aldridge shook hands with the opponent and said solemnly: "Thank you, since we entered the European competition. We cherish the opportunity to play against Bayern Munich. The experience gained from playing against you is very valuable."
This is by no means Aldridge's nonsense or false humility.
Without a strong opponent, you will not have a strong self. A hundred times of abuse will not be as good as the experience improvement brought by a strong conversation.
They met Bayern Munich five times in three years, and it was Bayern Munich who was at the peak of its period. Millwall learned a lot from its opponents, especially Bayern Munich's outstanding team spirit, tacit cooperation, etc., and it can only be done with Bayern Munich.
Only when strong people compete with each other will their own shortcomings and weaknesses be infinitely magnified. Then they can make up for and improve their strength, and their strength will be further enhanced.
After Hitzfield walked back to the coaching bench, Aldrich was already surrounded by people. Coaches and players were all waiting for the final whistle to sound, and then rushed into the field to celebrate.
There were only 2 minutes of injury time. This time passed quickly. When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, San Siro erupted into a roar of a wild lion.
European Champions Cup, the ninth team to successfully defend the title is born!
"At the end of the game, the defending champion Millwall defeated Bayern Munich 3:0. At the San Siro Stadium, we witnessed Millwall win the third European Champions Cup in four seasons and witnessed Millwall complete the defense of the title.
This is the highest honor of a European club. The last team that could defend the Champions League was AC Milan 11 years ago. At that time, AC Milan created a Milan dynasty. Now we have reason to believe that Millwall, the giant from England,
,already
We have created an era of crazy lions, let’s call it the dynasty of crazy lions! Congratulations to Millwall. Congratulations to Aldrich Hall, they have engraved their names in the legendary history of world football.
Now, they can enjoy this moment of glory. And many fans may feel the same as me, looking forward to the Champions League coming again next season. We want to see with our own eyes how long the Lions Dynasty can last, and whether today's success is over.
Where is Millwall's limit?"
At the end of the game, all the players on the field at Millwall invariably clenched their fists and raised them above their heads, a bit like a winner in a boxing ring.
Pagliuca excitedly took off his gloves and threw them away, then rushed in front of Southgate, jumped up and jumped on him.
This is definitely a season that Pagliuca himself could not have imagined half a year ago.
At the beginning of the season, he moved to Bologna to play for his hometown team. He had already decided that that was the final destination of his career. However, during the winter transfer period, he packed up his luggage and came to London to start a new journey. Despite the weather and environment here,
Life made him feel inconvenient, but the team he played for gave him a new passion and evoked memories of his youth.
After five months and two important championship trophies, Pagliuca has truly experienced the team's ability to harvest trophies, and at the same time, his personal club achievements have reached a new peak.
European Champions Cup winner!
The other players all walked to the sidelines with a sense of deserving of the title and thanked the fans in attendance according to tradition. Compared with the excitement when they won the championship in the past, they were more restrained and calm.
This comes from their strong self-confidence. Only Gattuso and Klose excitedly went around looking for teammates to hug and celebrate.
Ronaldinho and Henry walked to the sidelines together. They took off their jerseys, kissed and threw them into the stands. They did not intend to exchange jerseys with Bayern Munich players. It was not that they looked down on each other, but compared to their opponents, in this month
During the time, they felt deeply moved by the support of the fans, which was caused by the racial discrimination incident at Elland Road Stadium.
Aldridge stood on the sidelines, and everyone around him rushed into the stadium to celebrate.
He had originally planned to rush in, but he couldn't move forward.
He sighed softly, with a wry smile on his lips.
Who is to blame?
It’s not because I’m ambitious that I deserve the blame!
Originally, according to the practice of previous seasons, today's game ends, and the season is over. Aldridge can release all work pressure to celebrate, to vent, to forget all the troubles, and then, take a good rest and isolate himself from the world.
Enjoy the space for yourself and your family.
But at this moment today, a thought came to his mind: In a week, the England national team will have a friendly match!
This is a work instinct. After a game is played, the mind will immediately shift to the next game on the schedule.
After the players celebrated each other on the court, they did not see Aldridge, so they looked for him. When they saw Aldridge walking into the court step by step with an elegant smile, they involuntarily came to Aldridge and surrounded him.
One circle.
Everyone had smiles on their faces, like a child proving himself proud to his parents.
Aldridge looked around and smiled easily: "As I said, no team can beat you. If we want to enjoy such a moment, then we must remain diligent on the basis of self-confidence. Forget it, today we celebrate
, just celebrating is enough, come!”
bang bang
Aldrich clapped his hands and bent down, and the players also bent down, laughing and making low noises.
Woo hoo......
The sound rose from low to high, and when it turned into loud cheers, they straightened up together and waved their arms to the sky.
Looking down, it looks like a blooming flower.
The Bayern Munich players have been watching Millwall celebrate. Many of them were sitting on the ground, their eyes dull and their expressions numb. Teammates or coaches came to comfort them. They all seemed to have disappeared.
In 1999 and 2001, two consecutive Champions League runner-ups were a huge blow!
Most of the Bayern Munich fans in the stands were also devastated. However, today's loss to Millwall was a heavy blow because they had lost two finals in three years. To put it simply, in this game, there was nothing to say about Bayern Munich's loss.
There is no argument that the skills are not as good as the people.
Most of those neutral fans are Italian fans. After enjoying the game, they feel quite complicated now.
Millwall, which wiped out all the powerful players in Serie A, successfully defended its title on Italian soil.
And they have five Italian players starting the game!
In addition to Pagliuca, who is already counting down his retirement years, the other four Italian players, Pirlo, Gattuso, Materazzi, and Gianluca Zambrotta, are all in their prime, playing at Millwall.
The success proves their excellence. Although their personal abilities, such as Materazzi and Gattuso, are not at the first-class level, such players cannot play in the league of their motherland. This makes Serie A, known as the world's number one league, really
Some are shameless.
No matter which club these fans support in Italy, the mood of more Italian fans is similar. If the club in need of signings has the financial resources, the fans hope to bring home the "Italian children" in Millwall.

During the award ceremony, Aldrich whispered to UEFA President Johansson on the podium for a long time.
The conversation between the two was mainly about the racial discrimination incident at Elland Road. UEFA has issued a fine and fined Leeds United 200,000 pounds. At the same time, Bowyer was suspended for 6 games in European competitions and Leeds United were closed for three more European games at home.
The side stands are exactly the side of the stands where collective racial discrimination broke out among fans.
If players are fined and suspended, the intuitive impact is only on competitive strength, but closing the stands and fines will directly affect Leeds United's economic income.
Johansson hopes that Aldrich will settle the matter and stop pursuing it. It is best not to mention this matter in the future. After all, with Aldrich's current achievements and the attention he has received, if he holds on to it, it will naturally become news.
Hot spots.
If the penalty is due, UEFA will impose it. What happens after the penalty? I just hope this matter ends. The negative impact of racial discrimination is too great. UEFA does not want its own brand to be negatively impacted.
Aldrich made a promise to Johnson that the matter would not be brought up again.
As far as the matter is concerned, UEFA does not favor anyone. It cannot cause another incident. If it insists on doing so, it will offend the public.
