Chapter 126 Another Record Break
At the end of the UEFA Champions League match, Zhang Chaoqiang, who was wearing a hat bravely, appeared on the front pages of European media in an instant.

"Chinese superman scored a hat-trick, Chelsea lost miserably away"

"The Ligue [-] demon stars amazed the audience, and the Blues defeated the whole department by one person"

"Chelsea lost 1:3 away and are on the verge of being out"

"Super Zhang bravely wears the hat, the first hat in the Champions League knockout round is officially born"

The major media have given Zhang Chaoqiang a lot of space, and this hat-trick is indeed amazing enough.

Even Chelsea interim coach Guus Hiddink said in the post-match press conference: "We know Super Zhang, we know he has the ability to score goals, and we are working hard to defend him."

"But that's how it turned out, he beat us with a hat-trick."

"Probably because his quality was beyond our expectations, so the players were not prepared enough."

This guy Hiddink probably gave up on himself.

Chelsea is very likely to be eliminated in the last sixteen of the Champions League. He will definitely not be able to become a regular, and he doesn't have to worry about anything, he can say whatever he wants.

Zhang Chaoqiang also celebrated on social media after the game: "This is an extremely wonderful moment."

Accompanied by a photo of myself sliding and kneeling to celebrate.

For Zhang Chaoqiang, this hat-trick really made him very satisfied, even more comfortable than the big four against Paris in the away scene of Ligue [-].

After all, it is the UEFA Champions League, both the attention and the level of the competition are much higher.

As soon as Zhang Chaoqiang's news was sent out, a large number of fans came to congratulate him immediately.

"Super Zhang, well done!"

"This hat-trick is fantastic."

"It's so exciting. I witnessed the hat-tricks of Sylvain and Buffy Timby back then, but it's far less exciting than that of Super Zhang."

"Chelsea's bus looks like a baby carriage in front of Super Zhang."

"Haha, Chelsea are only No. 12 in the Premier League. We are second in Ligue [-]. Of course they can't beat us."

"Seven shots, five shots on target and three goals, it was a perfect play."

"We've had a perfect first leg and we're going to officially advance to the quarterfinals in three weeks."

"If Super Zhang can maintain this state, we should not limit our sights to the top eight, we can fantasize about more."

"Super Zhang, stop wasting time in Lyon, come to the Bernabeu, this is where you can show yourself."

"Real Madrid bastards go away, Super Zhang will never leave Lyon."

"Yes, Real Madrid bastards go away, the Nou Camp is a more suitable place for Super Zhang."

In the history of the Lyon team, there have been two Champions League hats before.

In the 04/05 UEFA Champions League Round of [-], the Ligue [-] champion Lyon met the Bundesliga champion Werder Bremen. This was originally considered to be a close series, but it unexpectedly turned into a massacre score.

Lyon won 3-0 away in the first round, basically locking in promotion.

In the second round, Werder Bremen was unconvinced and wanted to regain the game, so they launched a fierce attack at the Gerland Stadium, and were completely defeated by Lyon's defensive counterattack. They scored 7:2 in a single game and advanced with a total score of 10:2. .

In the second leg, Lyon striker Sylvain Wiltord scored a hat-trick.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 11/12 season, Lyon beat Dinamo Zagreb 7:1 in an away game, and Lyon striker Gomi made another big four.

This is the only two hat-tricks in the history of the Lyon team.

But in general, those two hat-tricks are not as valuable as Zhang Chaoqiang's.

In addition, Zhang Chaoqiang scored three goals in the Champions League group stage, and now he scored a hat-trick in the first round of the top [-], which brought his total number of goals in the Champions League this season to six goals, breaking another record.

First of all, Zhang Chaoqiang tied Wiltord in the 04/05 season, and was tied for the player with the most goals scored in the Champions League in a single season in the history of the Lyon team.

Secondly, with six goals in a single season, Zhang Chaoqiang became the Asian player with the most goals in the Champions League in a single season.

Third, the total number of goals scored in the Champions League is six goals. Zhang Chaoqiang successfully surpassed Park Ji-sung and became the Asian player with the second most goals in the Champions League.

In the history of the Lyon team, there has never been a top striker who has played for a long time. Even during the seven consecutive Ligue [-] championships, they relied on the midfield dominance of Juninho as the core to dominate Ligue [-], so the number of goals scored in the Champions League has not been high.

In the 04/05 season, Wiltord scored six goals on behalf of Lyon, which is the team history record.

Now Zhang Chaoqiang has a good chance to refresh the team history record.

As for the Asian record, Asian players have never been the mainstream in the Champions League, and the overall scoring data has always been low.

Uzbekistan striker Maxim Shatskikh has scored the most total goals. He has followed the Uzbek Super League team Dynamo Kyiv in the UEFA Champions League for many years. He has scored 12 goals in qualifying matches and 11 goals in the main match. Both are the highest records for Asian players.

Apart from Shatskikh, the Asian player with the most goals in the Champions League is Park Ji-sung, who has scored 54 goals in 4 Champions League games.

Now Zhang Chaoqiang has become second in Asia with 6 goals.

As for Sun Xingmin, he participated in the Champions League for two seasons in Leverkusen. He did not score in the first season and scored 5 goals in the second season, but 2 of them were in the qualifying rounds.

Therefore, Sun Xingmin's goals in the Champions League are only 3 for the time being.

※※※

Along with the matches between Lyon and Chelsea, three other Champions League round-of-[-] matches were held in midweek.

阿森纳主场0:2输给巴塞罗那，埃因霍温主场0:0战平马德里竞技，尤文图斯主场2:2战平拜仁慕尼黑。

In the four groups of Champions League round of [-] matchups in the middle of last week, the second team in the group all suffered defeats.

But this week, only Arsenal lost, and the other three teams did not lose.

Especially Lyon, defeated Chelsea 3:1 at home and directly won the second place in the strongest group.

At the same time, some media began to complain for the former Real Madrid coach Benitez.

Among the top sixteen teams in the UEFA Champions League this season, in addition to Chelsea's coaching change, Real Madrid also fired tactician Benitez in January and let B team coach Zidane take over.

The reason for Benitez's dismissal is his poor record. After all, La Liga lags behind Barcelona and Atletico Madrid at the same time.

Especially in the Spanish national derby, when Messi was injured and only Neymar and Suarez were left, Benitez actually led the team to a 0:4 defeat at home to Barcelona.

In addition, Real Madrid also misused suspended players in the Copa del Rey and was directly sentenced to lose.

In addition, the loss to Lyon in the Champions League group stage was also considered to be Benitez's guilt.

But now as Lyon beat Chelsea 3:1 at home, everyone began to re-examine Lyon. It is generally believed that Lyon has the ability to play a dark horse role in the Champions League this season.

By the way, in the latest UEFA Champions League scorer list, Zhang Chaoqiang jumped from No.6 to No.10 with 3 goals.

For the time being, only Ronaldo and Lewandowski are ahead of Zhang Chaoqiang.

Ronaldo has scored 12 goals, Zhang Chaoqiang is only half of the opponent, and he will not be able to catch up for a while.

Lewandowski scored 7 goals, only one goal ahead of Zhang Chaoqiang, and has every chance to catch up.

However, Thomas Muller, Griezmann, Suarez, Messi and others all scored six or five goals, and they also have the opportunity to surpass Zhang Chaoqiang.
