Chapter 269 Victory
"gooooooooooooooooooool~~~2:0~~~ The Arsenal scored the second goal of the game, Podolski scored twice." Seventeen minutes into the game, Arsenal had already led two goals.
Arsenal's first goal occurred in the third minute of the game. Wilhel made a straight pass, and Podolski successfully counterattacked and scored.
In this game, both sides sent out half-main and half-substitute lineups. Arsenal's Mertesacker, Ramsey, Sanchez and Griezmann were all resting. The substitute was Wilhelm, Campbell and several players transferred from the echelon.
The same is true for Galatasaray on the other side. No one like Sneider, Melo and others did not make it to the starting roster, so the game was far more harmonious than expected from the beginning.
This disappointed Li Shou. He also wanted to see how hell the Turkish team's scene was, but from the moment it seems that there is not much hell the Turkish Telecom Stadium.
Although there were still fans setting off fireworks and even throwing miscellaneous items in the stands, this had no impact on Li Shou at all. As for the so-called booing and insulting, it was even more impossible to affect Li Shou.
On the court, although Galatasaray played at home, Arsenal was the one who took the initiative, and even the substitute players still had the strength.
2:0 in 17 minutes has already said everything, and in the following time, although Galatasaray wanted to counterattack, it did not really pose a real threat to Arsenal's goal.
So Li Shou had almost no chance to perform in the first half, and this situation did not change in the second half, and even Arsenal expanded its lead.
With Arsenal scoring the third goal of the game, Galatasaray fans in the stands finally broke out, which still had some impact on the players on both sides.
Arsenal fans slowed down the pace of the offense, one went up and the other was declining, Galatasaray strengthened the offense, and even the head coach of Galatasaray replaced Sneijder.
This substitution really had an immediate effect. After Sneijder came on the court, Galatasaray's offense strengthened, and even threatened Arsenal's goal for a while.
In the 69th minute, Sneider dribbled into Arsenal's penalty area and attracted the defensive Arsenal defensive player and then passed back to Barta. The latter immediately took a strong shot and was blocked by Li Shou.
Then Sneider took a tactical corner kick, but a long shot, and the ball flew out from the crossbar. Five minutes later, Sneider dribbled the ball and created a free kick opportunity with a very good position.
Sneider took the penalty and the ball drew a beautiful arc and flew towards the lower left corner of Arsenal's goal. This was undoubtedly a blind spot in the absolute sense. When he saw Sneider kicking this free kick, Galatasaray fans in the stands couldn't help but celebrate in advance.
Unfortunately, someone ruined the celebration of Galatasaray fans. At the moment the ball was about to fly into the goal, a hand that shouldn't have appeared blocked the ball, forcing the ball to eventually change toward the crossbar of the goal.
"Damn it~~~I'm going to kill you." For a moment, all kinds of threats, insults and miscellaneous things flew towards Li Shou, and even Li Shou seemed to have a look at his phone.
"It's a pity that if I could pick it up, it would probably be enough for me to have a big meal." Behind Li Shou, not only were there mobile phones thrown out by Galatasaray fans, but also some coins and even banknotes.
It’s also a pity that Li Shou is not short of money now. If it were a few years ago, Li Shou wouldn’t mind picking it up.
Fortunately, Galatasaray fans didn't know what Li Shou was thinking, and the game had started again on the court. Galatasaray took a corner kick again, and this time he directly sent the ball into the penalty area. The final result was that the ball was taken off by Li Shou.
In fact, Sneider's free kick was already the most threatening shot in the second half of Galatasaray. Although they still had two shots in the next time, neither shot was within the goal frame.
Galatasaray did not save face, and Arsenal did not score any more. With Podolski's double score and Chamberlain's goal, Arsenal got his victory as he wished.
With Arsenal winning the game against Galatasaray, Arsenal became the fifth team in Champions League history to win a group victory.
AC Milan in the 92-93 season, Paris Saint-Germain in the 94-95 season, Sparta Moscow in the 95-96 season, Barcelona in the 02-03 season and Real Madrid in the 11-12 season.
However, Real Madrid has won all the teams for the second time, and this season, which means that two teams have won all the teams in the Champions League group stage this season, namely Real Madrid in Group B and Arsenal in Group D.
But compared to Real Madrid, Arsenal's complete victory is undoubtedly more rare, because Arsenal did not concede goals in six games in the group, while Real Madrid conceded two goals in the first two games.
But winning a group in a group does not seem to be a good thing for both teams, because according to the previous records, no team that winning a group in a group has reached the end of the Champions League.
AC Milan fell to the finals and lost to Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain fell to the semi-finals, and Sparta Moscow was even worse, and he lost in the first round of knockouts. As for the La Liga doubles, they seemed to have agreed to stop at the quarterfinals together.
Although the teams who have won all the best in the past history are quite miserable, history is often used to break things. Besides, even if they are eliminated, it will happen a few months later, so this does not affect the celebration of Arsenal and Real Madrid.
However, compared to Real Madrid, Arsenal is happier. In addition to Arsenal's zero goals conceded in the group stage, it is also because of Arsenal's unsustainable results over the years.
With the full end of the group stage, the teams entering the knockout stage were also fully released. Atletico Madrid and Juventus joined hands to qualify. B was exposed to an upset. Liverpool failed to qualify in the group, and Real Madrid and Basel became the final winners in Group B.
Group C is Li Shou's old club Monaco and Bundesliga Leverkusen. Although Monaco has sold a lot of people that summer, the teams in C are generally not strong, and Monaco seems to be focusing on the Champions League.
Arsenal and Dortmund joined hands to qualify in Group D, the winners of Group E are Bayern Munich and Manchester City, Barcelona in Group F, and then the rich team Paris Saint-Germain.
The last two groups have little highlights, Chelsea stands out, Schalke 04 follows closely, Porto and Donetsk miners are regular Champions League players.
With the full end of the group stage, the draw for the Champions League knockout round is about to begin. Although the knockout round will not really start until February next year, the draw ceremony will be after the group stage ends.
The draw of lots really affects how far the team can go in the knockout round. After all, there are strengths and weaknesses in the top 16. If you are lucky, you can undoubtedly go further. The benefits brought by every step forward in the Champions League are very considerable.
