Chapter 163 Surpass Ronaldo's Record! The Chinese Are Recorded In The History Of The Champions League!

"Giroud! Another header! But it didn't trouble Fabianski! Missed!"

"It's Giroud again! Left-footed shot! Pretty good chance!"

"Oxlade-Chamberlain, an imaginative cross! Giroud!!! It goes flying!"

"Unbelievable! Going into 2016, Giroud is in terrible form!"

"Did he forget his shooting boots on the beach in Barcelona?"

Arsenal vs. Union Berlin.

After the initial exchanges, both sides gradually opened up and started fighting head-to-head. Both teams created some chances.

During this time, Arsenal used their skillful and coordinated play to create more opportunities. Unfortunately, Giroud squandered all the chances created by Oxlade-Chamberlain.

"Oxlade-Chamberlain's playmaking is still excellent, but Arsenal seems to have no one to finish the chances!"

"Giroud's last goal dates back to the game against Liverpool on January 14!"

"He hasn't scored for a month, with more than 500 minutes of play!"

"Wasted opportunities will be punished!"

Sure enough, just after Giroud wasted another great chance, Union Berlin organized a quick counterattack!

"Look at this, Fabianski quickly throws the ball to launch the offensive!"

"Kimmich, picks and passes to Su Luo in front!"

"Su Luo!!! Straight pass! Mahrez is ahead!"

"A long pass over 40 meters! Quite accurate to find Mahrez!"

"Wow! Mahrez controls the ball beautifully!"

Director Zhang couldn't help but admire. Mahrez lightly stopped the ball mid-air at his feet, defying the laws of physics.

This perfect control led to Koscielny's misjudgment. Mahrez flicked the ball instantly, created space, and shot with his feet!

"Beautiful!!! Mahrez scores!"

"A curved ball pierced Petr Cech's goal, and Union Berlin, playing away, takes the lead!"

Zhan Jun shouted excitedly. Although Su Luo didn't score, his precision-guided long pass directly penetrated Arsenal's defense!

Director Zhang was also amazed by this goal. He usually likes to exploit the back line. No matter what team, a ball passed directly behind is a good strategy. Su Luo's pass was a textbook offensive plan, exploiting Arsenal's incomplete formation and seizing the opportunity when Monreal didn't return to defense in time, delivering a fatal assist.

"This is Union Berlin's style. They don't mess around; their counterattacks are straightforward!"

"Su Luo is a bold player with high skill and excellent execution."

After praising Su Luo, Dial continued.

"After Arsenal missed good chances, it was Union Berlin who scored first."

"Now they have a valuable away goal, which is bad news for Arsenal."

"They now face a tough decision: should they hold their ground or continue to attack and try to equalize?"

Soon, Wenger's team responded. They chose to be aggressive! Both Monreal and Bellerin frequently pressed forward to assist. For a while, Fabianski became the busiest person again. Only 5 minutes after conceding, Arsenal quickly equalized!

"Arsenal's attacking, passing through midfield... Ramsey to Cazorla, hands over to Bellerin, Ramsey responds... Flamini, Cazorla, strike!!"

"Cazorla bypasses Kimmich and sends a through ball!"

"Oxlade-Chamberlain cuts inside!

"Oxlade-Chamberlain!!! Left-footed sweep to the middle! Looking for Giroud!"

"Wait! It's not Giroud!"

Oxlade-Chamberlain's pass seemed aimed at Giroud, but the ball passed the goal and hit the target!

"Sanchez!!!"

The Union Berlin defender was fooled, and Rudiger rushed to cover but was outplayed by Sanchez. Right-footed shot from a tight angle!

"Here we go, Sanchez equalizes for Arsenal!"

"The two sides are back to even!"

As Arsenal celebrated, tens of thousands of fans at the Emirates Stadium cheered. Union Berlin retaliated quickly! They kicked off into Arsenal's half, and Su Luo received the ball on the left side of the front. He combined with Kimmich to get past Ramsey. Kimmich pushed just before the top of the arc, and Su Luo didn't stop the ball but shot immediately!

"Su Luo!"

"Su's cannon!"

Boom!

Su Luo used Haaland's power when he shot, swinging his leg. He switched to Ronaldo's technique at the moment of contact, finding the perfect angle in an instant!

The football didn't spin; it flew straight to the top corner of the goal! Generally, a spinning ball follows a stable curve, but without rotation, it creates an S-shaped trajectory due to air resistance!

Even without activating any special abilities, Su Luo's shooting accuracy was still high. Ordinary goalkeepers would have no time to react, but Arsenal had Petr Cech!

Petr Cech! Another god-level save! He blocked a high-quality shot from Su Luo!

"He's in great form today!"

Without his protective helmet, Petr Cech is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world. However, a nearly fatal head injury 10 years ago affected his form. During this period, he remained stable, helping Chelsea win the Champions League. Later, the younger and faster Courtois arrived, and Cech lost his starting position. He became Arsenal's last line of defense.

Judging by today's performance, it didn't matter how shaky Arsenal's defense was; they had Petr Cech!

Afterward, a corner kick was taken, and Su Luo attempted an unconventional scorpion kick!

"Cech!! Another unexpected shot from Su Luo! Union Berlin wins another corner!"

Petr Cech took a deep breath, his heart pounding. Su Luo's shot came from an incredible angle. Cech saved the ball on instinct alone. In his many years in the Premier League, he rarely felt such imminent danger. While other strikers were strong, their shots were predictable. This Chinese player was completely unpredictable. He could shoot from any direction, any angle, and in any manner!

Compared to Su Luo, the threats posed by Aguero, Kane, Drogba, Van Persie, and others were less daunting.

At this time, Cech's eyes met Su Luo's. He saw that the young Chinese player was still smiling. Where did this kid get his confidence? Were consecutive missed shots making him more excited? Cech was starting to doubt his own perception of the game.

Soon, Mahrez took a corner kick. In the crowd, Verhorst managed to get the first touch! But instead of aiming for the goal, he pushed the ball outward like a defender!

Zhan Jun was dumbfounded. "What's Verhorst doing, helping the other team clear the ball?"

But soon, he understood. A figure was lying in ambush outside the penalty area!

"Su Luo!!! Verhorst headed it to Su Luo!"

As the ball came towards him, Ramsey moved in to interfere. Su Luo, channeling Haaland's presence, used his body to shield Ramsey behind him like a rebounder. Then, he stretched out his long leg, gently hooking the ball, and shifted his weight to his left foot.

Ramsey expected a right-footed shot from Su Luo and didn't anticipate the quick switch. In a fluid motion, Su Luo delivered a falling leaf shot with his left foot!

"Su Luo's left-footed shot!!!"

Against Juventus, Su Luo had also scored with his left foot. This left-footed volley was just as deadly! A shudder ran through Cech's body again. He made a flying save but couldn't reach the ball!

"Impossible..."

The ball nestled into the goal from an almost impossible angle, giving no chance for a save!

"Sorry, the buff triggered early," Su Luo said to himself, already knowing the outcome as he shot. He didn't bother watching the ball go in; instead, he turned and walked towards midfield indifferently.

"Union Berlin takes the lead! Su Luo has scored 17 goals in the Champions League!"

"He has tied Ronaldo's record from the 2013-14 season!"

"One more goal, and Su Luo will become the player with the most goals in a single Champions League season!"

"Records are meant to be broken by Su Luo!"

In Rome, at the Stadio Olimpico, Roma was playing Real Madrid at the same time as Arsenal vs. Union Berlin. Before this game, Ronaldo was quite agitated. Reporters at the press conference kept asking offensive questions, suggesting he wasn't scoring enough, his goals were inflated stats, he lacked performance in key matches, and had few away goals.

Ronaldo tolerated these questions until one hit a nerve.

"Su Luo has already scored 16 goals in the group stage, just 1 goal behind your record of 17 goals in a single season. How do you feel about that?"

Ronaldo slammed the table in public during the press conference. "Is there anyone else who has scored more goals in the Champions League than me? I've surpassed Raul to become the all-time top scorer! I don't need to prove anything to you!" He then stormed out, leaving an awkward silence.

Ronaldo had only scored 10 goals in the Champions League group stage this season, 6 behind Su Luo! This became a thorn in his side.

After the start of the game against Roma, Ronaldo shot desperately, taking every opportunity, even forcing shots through triple-team defenses. The first half ended in a 0-0 draw.

Before Ronaldo had a chance to return to the locker room, he rushed to the bench to ask the assistant coach, "What's happening in the other match?"

The assistant coach, knowing Ronaldo's concerns, hesitated before replying, "Uh... Union Berlin leads 3-1 away, and Su Luo has scored twice. He now has 18 goals."

Ronaldo's expression changed, and he clenched his fists. "Damn it!"

Back at the Emirates Stadium, the atmosphere was tense. The visiting Union Berlin players in black jerseys hugged and celebrated.

"Su Luo scored twice! He broke into the penalty area and extended the lead with another goal!"

"Arsenal are trailing 3-1 in injury time of the first half!"

"Su Luo has surpassed Ronaldo to become the player with the most goals in a single Champions League season!"

"The name of this Chinese player will be etched in the history of the Champions League!"

"Su Luo made history in his first Champions League appearance! We have every reason to expect more miracles in the future!"
