However, a major event occurred in the Champions League that took place a day earlier.
It left the entire European Football realm astounded!
Because after three years of continuous strengthening, after massive investments in the transfer window, after bringing in more than seven world-class superstars, the Galaxy Battleship known as Real Madrid unexpectedly... fell again at the Champions League round of 16!
Champions League round of 16!
Sixteenth Brother of Champions League!
This is the fifth consecutive year that Real Madrid has stumbled at this point.
Last season, it was the god-like Izalelt who eliminated them, scoring two goals and providing one assist over the two legs.
And this season, eliminating them... is still the god-like Izalelt, scoring four goals and providing one assist over the two legs!
Real Madrid got stronger, but Izalelt got even stronger!
Especially in the second-leg match that just ended, Izalelt's hat-trick stirred a revolt at the Bernabéu, with Real Madrid fans giving him the warmest applause.
The moment the match ended, over seventy thousand Real Madrid fans chanted in unison, "Buy him, buy him, buy him," with the spirit of Li Jiaqi!
Real Madrid fans were furious!
Sixteenth Brother of Champions League, they could no longer tolerate this shameful title!
The position of Real Madrid's president, Lord Buddha, became unstable because of this.
Real Madrid desperately needs a savior.
And no one is more suited to be Real Madrid's savior than the Son of God, Izalelt. He is powerful yet elegant, sunny, handsome, and genuinely competent!
His demeanor matches Real Madrid perfectly!
Almost on the night the match ended, the entire Spain buzzed with excitement.
Because the call from Real Madrid fans to keep Izalelt had spread.
"He is the best, his ability is unparalleled, and with him, Real Madrid will surely break through in the Champions League! Even a super breakthrough!"
"Buy him! Only Real Madrid deserves his smile and grace!"
"Izalelt! We only want Izalelt! We just need one Izalelt!"
"The Galaxy Battleship can conquer the universe, but this ship is missing the final link, which is Izalelt!"
"The god shall return! Izalelt should have come to Real Madrid long ago!"
"If we had bought Izalelt last summer, we should have won the Champions League this season!"
"No matter how much it costs, the team must bring Izalelt to the Bernabéu!"
"Barça has an emperor, it's time for Real Madrid to find a crown heir! We want Izalelt! He can help me counter Barça's Mateo!"
Real Madrid fans went crazy!
They disregarded everything, only wanting Izalelt.
At this moment, the name Izalelt made all other football stars insignificant.
Whether it's Real Madrid's own youth academy's prodigy Enriquez, or Barça's new star Mancini.
Even Real Madrid's current top superstar Zidane, and Barça's rising star over the last three seasons, the homegrown player nicknamed the Argentinian Emperor, Leonardo Mateo, were outshined by Izalelt at this moment.
Izalelt became the only one.
According to predictions from Marca based on internal sources, Real Madrid might spend more than Fifty Million euros to bring in Izalelt after the summer transfer window opens.
This exceeds the current world-record transfer fee of Gutierrez.
And... Izalelt only has one year left on his contract, and for this year, Real Madrid is willing to splash Fifty Million euros, demonstrating their financial might.
Switch to any other team, most would communicate with Izalelt and wait a year, letting him transfer freely, saving Fifty Million euros — wouldn't that be delightful?
But Real Madrid is different, they never play dirty when buying players, using open strategies, following the right path, full of regal aura!
Perhaps this might impose some extra financial pressure, but the regal demeanor is held firmly.
Spending in football can be elegant, shrewd, or generous.
But true aristocratic demeanor is when a shrewd person spends money elegantly and generously!
Furthermore, it is said that after Izalelt joins Real Madrid, his annual salary might exceed Eight Million euros!
He will also receive a handsome signing bonus.
And as Izalelt's agent, his father could also earn over Five Million euros in commission.
Finally, the most valuable player portrait rights issue at Real Madrid is also negotiable!
In terms of personal treatment, Real Madrid is confident that with an offer, Izalelt would certainly not refuse.
But the current main issue is how much transfer fee AC Milan will demand.
Otherwise, Real Madrid wouldn't even have the opportunity to contact Izalelt directly.
Of course, this is only on the surface.
If Real Madrid desires, is there any player they can't contact?
There are even reports that Izalelt's father had already contacted Real Madrid last year!
Izalelt's reluctance to renew with AC Milan is also due to his significant interest in the invitation from Real Madrid, which is undeniable.
But the defeat in last season's Champions League final made Izalelt, full of deep affection and loyalty, willing to gamble one more time for AC Milan, to fight one more time in the Champions League!
Otherwise, Izalelt should have transferred at the end of last season!
These words incited another storm.
In comparison with the frenzy of the Spanish media,
AC Milan fans seemed as if the sky had fallen.
They had won the match, advancing to the Champions League quarter-finals, but not a single fan could smile.
Everyone was waiting for the team to present Izalelt with a new high-paying contract after this year's Champions League victory, anticipating Izalelt and the club's president smiling and embracing for the cameras as they signed the contract.
