2009 is a special year.

Previously, the 2008 Olympic Games in the capital of the great Eastern country attracted the attention of the whole world. Its huge size and scale shocked everyone.

What followed was Croatia's crazy performance in the 2008 European Cup.

A group of high-spirited young people won the European Cup for the first time, and their rhapsody resounded all over the world.

The Croatian players headed by Suker became the focus of everyone's attention.

The 2009 Champions League also attracted much attention.

Manchester United is neck and neck with Barcelona.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi have also become the most watched players this year.

Although AC Milan was eliminated, Suker missed the important events of the Champions League.

This makes the situation of the top three impossible to achieve, but it still makes many fans look forward to this peak Champions League final.

The most important thing is that football has begun to enter a new era.

Suker became the first shot to open a new era, transitioning from Ronaldo, Zidane, Figo and other players to the era of Suker, Cristiano Ronaldo, Messi and others.

This era is equally exciting, and football is still hot.

Some people's youth is over, but there are also more young people whose youth is in full swing.

In the 2008/2009 season, in the Europa League, after Suker returned, AC Milan relied on their hot form to defeat Inter Milan and jumped to second place in the standings with Juventus' mistakes.

They are only 2 points away from the championship.

The stumbling first half of the season and the crazy second half of the season chasing points have formed the main theme of AC Milan this season.

But the gap between these two points is difficult to make up.

There are not many games left, and it is difficult for Inter Milan's opponents to shake them. Mourinho's Inter Milan is gradually beginning to stabilize. These guys are getting better and better as they play, and it is difficult for AC Milan to find a chance to make a comeback.

Simply put, they still have the Europa League to compete for.

The Europa League final takes place at the Sarachioglu Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.

This is also the home stadium of Fenerbahce, one of Türkiye's three largest clubs.

The Europa League final will be played between Shakhtar Donetsk and AC Milan.

So far, AC Milan has never won the Europa League in history.

Compared to their glorious eight Champions League trophies, they have no Europa League trophies.

For this reason, this championship challenge is also a very fresh attempt.

Of course, this is also a helpless championship impact.

After all, they were eliminated from the Champions League.

The Europa League final is the outpost of the Champions League.

The Champions League final three days later will feature a strong dialogue between Manchester United and Barcelona.

This game attracted the attention of countless people.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are the two most famous players at present, and they are also the young generation who have the best chance of impacting Suker's current honors.

For this reason, the match between these two people naturally attracted widespread attention.

After Suk and others arrived in Turkey, they soon saw a familiar figure in the hotel where they were staying.

"Boss?"

Suk looked over in surprise.

I saw Maldini, who had retired for a year, appearing in the hotel with his family.

"Suke, long time no see."

Maldini still looks like that. Although he retired, his body has not gained weight. This is also a sign of self-discipline.

Compared to many players who have lost shape after retiring, Maldini is obviously more self-disciplined.

Suker, Gattuso, Kaká, Pirlo, Ambrosini and others gathered around,

They hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they were very happy.

Suk touched Maldini's head. His long hair had been trimmed into neat short hair.

"Why do you suddenly want to change your hairstyle? It used to be cool."

Maldini smiled and said: "I have retired and I want a brand new start, so I changed my imagination. Doesn't it look good?"

"It doesn't look good!" Suk said bluntly.

Maldini smiled and kicked over, and Suk easily twisted away.

"Paul, are you here to cheer us on?" Gattuso said in a loud voice, clenching his fists: "Okay, I'll get you a Europa League champion."

"Yo~~~Ivan, so awesome~~"

"Ivan is going to win the Europa League for us~~~"

Suker and Pirlo started to get weird again.

Maldini watched the crowd quarreling and couldn't help but smile: "You still haven't changed at all."

After that, he looked at Ambrosini and said, "You did a great job."

Ambrosini showed a forced smile and looked at Suker, Gattuso and Pirlo.

This season, the three of them rarely fight like before.

Perhaps it was the emergence of Maldini that made it easier for them.

Only then did it return to its previous appearance.

"Tomorrow's game, I will go to the scene to cheer you." Maldini said with a smile: "Then I will leave first."

After watching the Maldini family leave the hotel, Su Ke and others immediately checked in.

In the room, Suk threw the suitcase against the wall and threw it directly on the bed.

Kaka also followed suit.

"There are three games left."

Kaka said.

Suk turned to look over.

“There are three games left and you’re leaving.”

Suk nodded.

One Europa League game, two home and away games.

The home game in the 37th round of the league is Suker's farewell game.

This is also the last time Suker plays in an AC Milan jersey at the San Siro Stadium. For this reason, Milan fans cherish this game very much.

Kaka was also a little melancholy.

He rejected Real Madrid's offer and plans to stay at AC Milan for one more season. As for the future.

Neither of them chatted too much. After packing their bags, they had a simple dinner and then got ready to go to bed.

Istanbul will always be a pain in the hearts of AC Milan fans.

Although some years have passed, when I come back here, I am still surrounded by a lot of negative emotions.

They have completed their revenge against Liverpool and feel relatively better, but the stain has never been erased.

The Istanbul tragedy still surrounds them in their hearts.

The night of the Europa League final.

The whole of Istanbul has also become lively.

Although it does not have the influence of the Champions League, there is AC Milan and the superstar Su Ke helps, so the game also attracts a lot of attention.

Compared with usual, more fans poured into this game. Most of these local fans came to watch Suker's game. Therefore, the number of AC Milan fans in the entire stadium was relatively larger.

"The Europa League final is about to begin. Facing the challenge from Shakhtar Donetsk, can AC Milan win their first Europa League trophy? Can Suker help them before leaving Milan? Leave behind a valuable trophy.”

Amid the cheers of the crowd, players from both sides entered the tunnel.

The starting lineups of both sides are as follows:

AC Milan (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Dida.

Defenders: Zambrotta, Nesta, Simunic, Jankulovski.

Midfielder: Gattuso, Pirlo, Beckham.

Forwards: Pato, Suker, Ronaldinho.

Shakhtar Donetsk (4-4-2:):

Goalkeeper: Piatov.

Defenders: Kuchel, Vyaches, Brandao, Chigelins.

Midfielder: Willian, Egger, Fernandi, Hubsmann.

Forwards: Ruiz, Jelavic.

"Why are you here?"

Suk looked at Jelavic in surprise.

Jelavic scratched his head, thinking that Su Ke didn't remember him.

When he was playing for Dinamo Zagreb, he was still a substitute, and he didn't have much interaction with Suker.

Unexpectedly, Suk actually remembered himself.

"I just transferred and joined this year." Jelavic said.

Suk nodded: "Come on!"

After saying that, Suk returned to his lineup.

Soon, players from both sides lined up in their respective halves.

The game is about to begin.

At this moment, all eyes were focused on the stadium.

Shakhtar Donetsk from Ukraine may create glory this season and win the Europa League.

But in front of them is a big mountain called ‘AC Milan’.

But no matter how difficult it is, they must take steps bravely.

Especially for Jelavic, this is a stage where he can prove himself. He also plans to return to the mainstream European leagues through this game.

AC Milan is certainly strong, but they are not without a chance.

Of course, before that, their defenders must withstand Suker's impact.

Otherwise, everything you say is nonsense.
