After careful defense, Atletico Madrid finally seized a chance to counterattack in the 53rd minute.
When Athletic Bilbao was unable to break into Atletico Madrid's penalty area in the frontcourt, Muniain made a diagonal pass from the left, hoping to take advantage of Llorente's height advantage to compete for a header.
But this time Llorente failed to grab the first point and was blocked by Diego Godin who headed the ball ahead of him.
Captain Gabi, who returned to defense, got the second goal. Facing the counterattack from Biba players, Gabi kept the ball and passed it to Mario Suarez on the side.
Suarez did not stop the ball and waste time, and sent the ball through the ball to the feet of Adrian in front.
Then, Adrian, Diego, Joan Chen, and Falcao fired four arrows at once, thrusting into the backcourt of Athletic Bilbao like four sharp arrows.
Athletic Bilbao invested a lot of people in the attack just now, and the backcourt was very empty. In an instant, Atletico Madrid had a 4-on-3 advantage.
Although everyone knew that Qiao Anchen was a great threat, Qiao Anchen did not have the ball at his feet at this time, and Biba's defenders were insufficient, so they had to intercept Adrian.
With the continuous passing and movement of Adrian, Diego and Falcao, there was no one in front of Qiao Anchen.
What happens next is simple.
Diego, who finally got the ball, made a diagonal pass and sent the ball to the penalty area in front of Qiao Anchen. Qiao Anchen sprinted into the penalty area from the right, lobbed the ball without anyone marking him, and kicked the ball towards
Upper left corner.
Because goalkeeper Ilesos saw Diego passing the ball to Joan Anchen on the right and had already pounced on him. Joan Anchen's purpose was to hit him with a backhand.
Elisos had no choice but to dive sideways, trying to save the ball. However, Qiao Anchen's shooting skills were too accurate. The ball passed high above his palm, and Elisos was beyond his reach.
Center back Illaura, who was marking Falcao in the middle, rushed back to the goal as quickly as possible, trying to make a clearance, but it was still a step too late, and Qiao Anchen deliberately hit a lob. The height of the ball also meant that he could only use his head.
Elora, who cannot use her hands, cannot reach it.
In the end, with countless Athletic Bilbao fans watching desperately, the ball rubbed the lower edge of the crossbar and fell into the goal.
At 53 minutes and 41 seconds, Atletico Madrid counterattacked successfully. Qiao Anchen scored with a lob, scoring a hat trick and helping Atletico Madrid expand the score to 4-0, completely killing the suspense of the game.
He scored a hat trick in the final and helped the team lead by four goals. Such a performance was definitely at the level of a god of war.
The fans in the stands and in front of the TV applauded and cheered wildly, celebrating wildly.
The commentators from various countries in the commentary box also shouted:
"goooooooooooooooooooooooooal..."
"The ball is in!!!"
"hat trick!!!"
"Qiao Anchen performed a shocking hat trick on the stage of the Europa League final, helping Atletico Madrid completely kill the suspense of the game 4-0."
"Atletico Bilbao has no chance!"
"What's even more frightening is that Qiao Anchen's total goals in the Europa League have reached 16, which is only one goal away from Falcao's record of 17 goals in a single season in the Europa League set last season."
"At the end of the semi-finals, Qiao Anchen's Europa League goals were only 13. Everyone thought it was amazing that Qiao Anchen won the Europa League Golden Boot this season by virtue of half a season's knockout rounds. Few people thought that Qiao Anchen could still do it.
Breaking Falcao’s record of 17 goals.”
"Unexpectedly, Qiao Anchen scored a hat trick in the final. Now he is only one goal away from the record set by Falcao last season."
"And this is an achievement achieved in just half a season in the Europa League knockout rounds."
"Qiao Anchen will not only win the Europa League Golden Boot, but may also break the single-season scoring record in the European competition."
"Unparalleled performance, genius performance."
"Qiao Anchen dominated today's final."
"Today's Romanian National Arena has become a stage for Qiao Anchen to show his style to the world."
Indeed, anyone who scores a hat-trick in the final, helps his team take a big lead, and almost locks in the championship, is proud of himself.
Even Qiao Anchen, who scored a lot of goals, was very excited. He rushed to the sidelines and celebrated with a passionate bomber dive, and was then pressed to the ground by his teammates.
You know, this hat trick, Qiao Anchen did not rely on the lucky card and skill card, it was entirely his own strength. Even Qiao Anchen himself was a little ecstatic with such a performance.
What's more, the game is only 50 minutes old now, and if there is injury time, there will still be about 40 minutes. It is entirely possible for Qiao Anchen to score another goal and tie Falcao's UEFA Cup/European League single record last season.
Season personal scoring record. If you score two more goals, you will set a new record and receive record-breaking rewards.
Not only the Atletico Madrid players and fans were celebrating wildly, but the Chinese fans at the scene and in front of the TV were also cheering for Qiao Anchen's achievements.
Especially in China, in the middle of the night, many family members and neighbors have fallen asleep, but the fans can't help but cheer and scream for Qiao Anchen's hat trick in the final, the Europa League golden boot, the upcoming championship, and the possibility
He celebrated with excitement at the prospect of scoring four goals, five goals in a single game, and setting a Europa League single-season scoring record.
It is absolutely unprecedented for Chinese players to achieve such achievements in Europe. We can't blame the fans for making a fuss.
While Qiao Anchen and his teammates were celebrating happily, the Athletic Bilbao players and fans on the other side were all dumbstruck, with dull eyes and depressed expressions. They had completely lost any confidence in continuing the game.
Trailing by four goals, Biba has to chase at least four goals in the remaining time, and also needs Joan Anchen and Falcao to stop scoring in order to drag the game into overtime.
is it possible?
Totally impossible!
Not to mention that Biba now needs to attack aggressively and the backcourt is empty. Even if he defends and gives Qiao Anchen a few shooting opportunities, he can still score.
They can't even defend, let alone allow Qiao Anchen and Falcao to attack at will in the backcourt.
Biba indeed had no chance. The 4-0 score completely crushed Athletic Bilbao's last hope.
Even head coach Bielsa was in despair and didn't give any more instructions or make any moves.
Facing the crazy Qiao Anchen and Falcao combination, no coach can do anything.
Atletico Madrid's celebration lasted for almost a minute before the referee Wolfgang Stark took the initiative to stop it.
Qiao Anchen and his teammates returned to their own half, and Athletic Bilbao kicked the ball out of the center circle. After the game restarted, Bilbao still followed its inertia and pressed forward to attack.
Although we knew that we had already lost the final, the score of 4-0 was ugly. No matter how much we lost, we could at least score a goal and avoid being shaved off.
They were already losing anyway, so it didn't matter how many more goals Biba conceded in the future, but they still wanted to attack and score one or two goals to save some face.
Atletico Madrid did not counterattack because Qiao Anchen still had the need to break the record.
All his teammates are well aware of this and are willing to provide assists for Qiao Anchen, except for Falcao.
What Qiao Anchen wants to chase and break is his record. With the championship already confirmed, Falcao naturally does not want to help Qiao Anchen anymore. Therefore, when given the opportunity to get the ball, Falcao will almost break through with the ball.
, shoot.
Although he has determined that he will not be able to defend the Golden Boot and this season's Golden Boot is destined to be Qiao Anchen's, he still wants to keep his Europa League single-season personal scoring record.
But Falcao is too weak on his own to stop his teammates from assisting Qiao Anchen, and it is impossible and impossible for him to stop everyone from passing the ball to Qiao Anchen.
Qiao Anchen's current status within the team is higher than him. Not only because Qiao Anchen came from Atletico Madrid's youth training camp, but also because his current goal efficiency is higher than Falcao.
Even if there is no relationship, passing the ball to Qiao Anchen will obviously make it easier to get assists. There are bonuses for assists, so who thinks the money is too little?
In the 68th minute, Athletic Bilbao, which was aggressively attacking but still failed to score a goal, was intercepted by Atletico Madrid and hit a counterattack on the right.
This time the ball never fell to Falcao's feet. Even if Falcao wanted to dominate the ball, he couldn't.
Finally, Atletico Madrid's full-back Juan Fran, who was assisting at high speed, cut inside and passed the ball in an inverted triangle. Qiao Anchen volleyed the ball into the near corner in the penalty area.
Qiao Anchen really performed a big four, not only helping Atletico Madrid expand the score to 5-0, but also tied the UEFA Europa League last season with 17 goals in half a season.
Individual goalscoring record in a single season in Cup/European competition.
This kind of efficiency is really jaw-dropping. Even though the championship has been secured and the voices of Atletico Madrid fans have become hoarse, they still can't help but continue to applaud and cheer crazily for Qiao Anchen's goal, shouting and screaming.
The entire Romanian National Arena was shocked by Qiao Anchen's final performance.
Even among the fans of Athletic Bilbao, many shook their heads in admiration and applauded Qiao Anchen.
At the same time, this was the first time Qiao Anchen performed four goals in the Europa League, so he also celebrated with his teammates while receiving an additional reward of 800,000 experience points for the "first four goals in the Europa League", and his total experience increased.
