Not far from the main venue of the tournament, is the hotel where Arsenal team stays, and one of the best hotels in Turin.

Sun Xiang had visited Milan City in Italy a year ago, but compared to the two Milan heroes, the football atmosphere here is stronger.

During the two days, in addition to training on the team's scheduled stadium, they also came to the Allianz Stadium to stomp the field. The grass in the warm stadium was very soft, which shows that they had a good draft and did not make the grass very slippery.

The game was held in the afternoon of local time. There were dark clouds over Italy that day. Many fans were worried about whether the game would be played in a winter rain. Fortunately, a gust of wind in the afternoon blew away it, and Turin became sunny again in a blink of an eye.

The competition began on this sunny afternoon.

Thousands of Chinese fans traveled to the Allianz Stadium just to witness Sun Xiang's first Champions League knockout match.

Under the guidance of the referee team, players from both sides lined up to enter the field. At the end of the team, people saw the protagonist of their trip.

His expression looked unchanged, like an ordinary game. In fact, he was trying hard to restrain his excitement and tension.

This was his first knockout game and he was worried that he would mess him up.

Not every player has such honor at this age, standing on the highest level in Europe and facing the highest-level team in Europe.

He is not the youngest record holder, but he carries the future of Chinese football. He knows very well that there are countless eyes staring at him.

In line in the middle circle, Sun Xiang let out a long breath and pushed out the turbid air in his body. Then he opened his eyes and raised his head, and then saw a scene that almost made him cry.

In the stands in the middle circle on the front, a five-star red flag is hanging there, fluttering in the wind.

What a touching picture this is. In a foreign land tens of thousands of kilometers away from the mainland of the motherland, this small detail is enough to touch people's hearts.

"Look, Sun Xiang seems to be very excited now. Although he doesn't know the reason, he can probably guess it." The camera slides past Sun Xiang, and CCTV host He Wei saw this scene.

However, he didn't know that the real reason why Sun Xiang was excited was actually behind the camera.

With the whistle of German referee Felix Bruch, the 2018-19 European Champions League quarter-finals kicked off at the Allianz Stadium in Italy. The home team Juventus piled up, which was the first to kick off.

Referee Felix Bruchy has enforced the law in the Champions League finals for 14 years and 2017, and has also enforced the law in the Juventus game four times. The most recent time was in the 2017 finals, when Juventus lost the game.

The German referee's penalty is relatively strict for other referees, but it also controls the smooth range of the game. There are few controversial penaltys that are why he enforces the law twice in the Champions League finals.

At the beginning of the game, the huge "Chinese delegation" sang war songs in the stands. They also learned from European fans to create a cheering song for Sun Xiang, singing it in the Allianz Stadium.

With the cheers of fans, Sun Xiang's distractions were much less, and he found that he was no longer so nervous.

Not long after, Sun Xiang helped Casolla defend against Khedira to grab the ball.

After breaking the ball, Sun Xiang knocked back to Cazorla behind him, and ran to the penalty area in reverse, waiting for the opportunity.

Cassol observed that Ozil had good room to dribble around him on the right, so he immediately distributed the ball to the right.

Ozil had fully observed the situation on the field before getting the ball and passed it forward to Sun Xiang as soon as he got the ball.

"Sun! Turn your head!" he shouted loudly.

Sun Xiang turned around and found that the ball was rolling towards his direction, so he adjusted his steps and center of gravity and brought the ball to his feet. At this time, there were about 25 meters away from the goal.

Sun Xiang continued to dribble the ball forward. He wanted to continue to split the ball left and right, but he found that Juventus' defense of his two wing positions was airtight, so he had to let Sun Xiang give up this idea. He stepped on the ball under his feet and then passed it back to Ozil.

Pjanic came to defend Ozil, but his defense was still worse than offense.

Ozil took him over with a false move.

Seeing that the Germans had the intention of being down, Sandro, as a full-back, started at the same time and planned to take the initiative first. Chiellini focused part of his energy on the left side of Sandro who grabbed the game.

At this time, Ozil shook his ankle while dribbling the ball and passed the ball to his teammate in the middle from Sandro's eyes.

It was still Sun Xiang, he wandered in the frontcourt like a sweeper.

Aubameyang's running provided Sun Xiang with a gap in the middle, and Chiellini's attention was distracted and he could not interfere at the first time. So at this position, 20 meters away from the goal, Sun Xiang kicked his feet directly.

"Ozil's return pass in the middle was hit by Sun Xiang's feet and shot!!!"

In this position, Sun Xiang has this ability. What he faces is Buffon, a "young player" who is 23 years older than him, who is 41 years old.

Sun Xiang's ball was very powerful and was not disturbed so that he could exert full force. The ball flew towards the goal like a cannonball.

If there is no goalkeeper, it will be a very corner shot. If there is a goalkeeper, it may also be a very corner shot.

However, if Buffon is the one who guards the goal, that's another matter.

192's height, reaction speed that is not matched by age, and super long wingspan. All these terms fall together create the myth of Buffon's immortality.

"Shot!!! Oh Buffon! He made a wonderful save at the age of 41! Oh my God, this is a 'cross-time and space' fight!"

The 18-year-old Sun Xiang's shot was saved by the 41-year-old part. How unimaginable it is.

After making a wonderful save, Buffon waved his fists and shouted to his teammates. This time his defense disappointed him.

Chiellini stepped forward to hug Buffon, showing that he had made mistakes, and on the other hand, he also gave the legendary goalkeeper a hymn.

Juventus fans in the stands were also shouting Buffon's name. The two generations after them even said that the third generation were fans who grew up watching Buffon, and their heroes once again defended their home court.

Similarly, Arsenal fans and Chinese fans also cheered for Sun Xiang who shot this time and Ozil who had previously sent the ball to cheer. This was a wonderful offense.

The corner kick opportunity followed, Ozil took the corner kick and found Aubameyang at the back of the penalty area. Unfortunately, the Gabon striker's last shot was blocked by Buffon again.
