Chapter 3138 The most anticipated Champions League final: Cristiano Ronaldo vs. Ye Chen!!!

Bellingham had to learn to process his own emotions.

He is also considering his future with the team next season.

To be honest, he was very happy with this season at Dortmund.

But he also knows that Manchester United needs him now.

If he returns to Manchester United and learns from Modric and De Bruyne, he might reach even greater heights.

But he also longed for the feeling of fighting alongside Ye Chen.

In reality, life is about a few moments.

Although Bellingham was once hailed as a child prodigy, he only played ordinary matches.

However, after arriving at Dortmund, he faced top teams.

In particular, the several Champions League clashes gave him endless passion.

At the same time, I also felt my own shortcomings amidst the passion.

During that time, he frequently sought advice from Ye Chen, Reuss, and Emre Can.

These players have all seen the world.

So I learned a lot from them.

In addition, Bellingham is known for being a person who listens to advice.

During his season learning at Dortmund, his ability level directly broke through 80 points, reaching a level where he could start for a top club!

However, all good things must come to an end.

Although Dortmund still has the Champions League final to play, and he will be there to watch the game, he will not be able to sit on the bench but will have to sit in the stands and fight alongside Dortmund.

The players didn't have time to feel sad.

The mature woman is here~~

Because the parade ended in the morning, they returned to the training base in the afternoon to recover their physical strength.

Next, tactical arrangements and drills will be conducted.

Finally, we traveled to Istanbul, the city where the Champions League final was held.

As mentioned before, this year's final will be held at the Atatürk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul!

In the previous life, the teams in the final were Manchester City and Chelsea.

However, both of these teams were defeated by Dortmund.

In addition, Dortmund also defeated Liverpool in the group stage, so if Dortmund beats Manchester United in the Champions League final, they will be the undisputed nemesis of the Premier League.

As for Manchester United, their journey has been quite bumpy.

First they eliminated Real Madrid in the round of 16, and then they eliminated Sevilla.

They even eliminated Liverpool, their rivals in the Manchester derby, in the semi-finals.

They made it all the way to the finals.

To put it simply, both teams deserved to reach the Champions League final.

Dortmund, in particular, defeated two big-spending teams in succession: the defending champions and the newly crowned Premier League champions.

If Dortmund can win the title, it will be incredibly prestigious.

The same situation applies to Manchester United.

Both sides adopted closed training.

The two teams arrived in Istanbul three days before the Champions League final.

The two teams are scheduled to play at different times.

But the scenes they encountered were equally heartwarming.

With Ye Chen on Dortmund's side, they won't lack popularity.

With Ronaldo on the Manchester United side, they certainly won't lack fans.

Don't forget, this is Europe.

Cristiano Ronaldo rose to fame earlier than Ye Chen.

With that basic foundation, Ronaldo can live off it for a lifetime.

News from the outside world is flying everywhere.

The level of popularity reached unprecedented heights.

After all, this is Ye Chen vs. Ronaldo's peak battle.

Everyone understands that Ronaldo's peak years are numbered.

Recently, news has surfaced that Saudi Arabia wants to sign Cristiano Ronaldo. According to Ye Chen's memory, Ronaldo was supposed to go to Saudi Arabia to make a lot of money in 2022.

This opportunity is truly rare.

However, both sides are consciously trying to control the heat.

Several players appeared particularly low-key during their interviews.

The weather's getting cold and my shoulders are getting really swollen~

In an interview, Modric spoke about Ye Chen, saying, "Ye is definitely aiming for the championship, but so are we... We hope both sides can put on a good performance and give everyone a thrilling match!"

De Bruyne chuckled, "I was just asking Ye to go on vacation with me a few days ago, and I never expected to run into him in the Champions League final... I only have one thing to say about him: as long as you don't kill him, go all out... Hehehe... Kill him... By the way, he's the one who taught me all this!"

Even Cristiano Ronaldo gave an interview.

However, Ronaldo showed great fighting spirit: "I'm in the twilight of my career, and I don't get to the Champions League final very often, so I want to do my best in the few opportunities I have... This time our goal is the championship, and I think we have the ability to do so! Ye is still my friend, and that's why we will both give it our all and be in our best form against each other... Come on, let's fight!"

The Manchester United players all look to be in good form.

The lineup is also quite complete.

Dortmund also gave interviews to the media.

After all, when players give interviews and generate buzz, the team ultimately benefits.

The more news a person has, the higher their profile becomes.

Veteran Thiago Silva was interviewed.

“Ye personally invited me to Dortmund. He told me that going to Dortmund wasn’t to retire, but to restart my career… At the time, I thought he was joking, but now I know it’s true! My year at Dortmund gave me a new lease on life. I love playing here, and I hope to bring more championships to Dortmund in the final period of my career!”

Hummels was then asked about the team's pursuit of the treble.

Hummels' answer was quite simple: "Having reached the final, of course we want to win the treble, but we've forgotten about the previous titles because we all have only one goal: to beat Manchester United and win the European championship..."

"We've returned to the Champions League final after nine years. In this match, we will fight for a future!"

Reuss's words were even simpler: "Everyone says we're the dark horse, so we're going to be the dark horse all the way!"

From the moment they entered the knockout stage, the media often subconsciously began to smear Dortmund.

When facing Chelsea, everyone says Chelsea's defense is good, and Dortmund's defense is a huge sieve.

Therefore, Chelsea has a greater chance of advancing.

But the result?

Dortmund defeated them 7-6 on aggregate in the two matches.

Besides Ye Chen's close-range shot and long-range effort, Götze's follow-up shot and Reus's fourth goal in the final moments also left a deep impression on fans...

Beautiful fans~

Later, we encountered Paris Saint-Germain.

The media changed their perspective, saying that PSG's attack was stronger than Dortmund's, their defense was also stronger than Dortmund's, and they were also the defending champions.

But the result?

After losing the first leg away from home, Dortmund thrashed PSG 6-1 at home in the second leg.

That match can be considered the pinnacle of Ten Hag's tactical maneuvering.

Several counter-attack goals were still textbook examples.

Finally, they faced Manchester City, which goes without saying.

Apart from Ye Chen, they were completely outmatched in every position!

Dortmund, however, gritted their teeth and, after losing 2-3 at home, went to Manchester for the second leg, where Ye Chen scored all four goals.

The most outrageous thing is that his position is defensive midfielder...

In other words, Ye Chen scored four goals while playing as a midfielder.

Now that we've reached the final, the media is once again carefully comparing the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams.

They were shocked to discover that Dortmund, apart from striker Ye Chen, seemed to be inferior to Manchester United in every other aspect.

Could this match be another display of Ye Chen's ultimate heroism?

The domestic sports weekly magazine featured this match on its cover.

Besides Ye Chen, there are three other words: Lone Warrior.

But is Ye Chen a lone hero?

of course not!

He always felt that without the support of Dortmund players, Dortmund would not have been able to reach the final.

It's just that the media loves to hype him up too much.

Just like Barcelona back then, they loved to hype up Messi so much that other players were overlooked...
