The final score of this Champions League match was 1-4. Paris Saint-Germain defeated Olympiacos 4-1 away from home. Lu Wenbin scored a hat trick and his number of goals in the Champions League reached three digits.
Although countless people had already predicted that Lu Wenbin's total number of goals in the Champions League would exceed 100, they were still shocked by Lu Wenbin.
You know, Lu Wenbin, who was born in 1990, is only 23 years old now!
After the game, major media around the world rushed to report the news that Lu Wenbin's total number of goals in the Champions League reached 100, causing heated discussion.
After playing the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain returned to China on September 22, in the 6th round of Ligue 1, at home against Monaco.
This is a battle for the top spot in the French Ligue 1 standings.
In the French Ligue 1 standings, Paris Saint-Germain is at the top of the list after winning all five games in the first five rounds, and Monaco is the team following closely behind, ranking second with four wins and one draw.
The third place has lost the game.
Apart from Paris Saint-Germain, Monaco is currently the only unbeaten team in Ligue 1.
Moreover, Monaco is a special team. They are not a French team, but a team from the Principality of Monaco.
It's just that the Principality of Monaco is too small to form a professional football league, so Monaco participates in the French Ligue 1 as a foreign team and has become one of the most successful teams in Ligue 1.
Monaco has produced many celebrities and superstars in its history, including Arsene Wenger, Thierry Henry, George Weah, Trezeguet, and Giuly.
In the 2003/2004 season, Monaco reached the Champions League final against Porto, but eventually lost to Porto, which made Mourinho the magic bird.
Although they only won the Champions League runner-up, this is already the most glorious moment in Monaco's history.
Although Monaco is not a wealthy club and cannot retain good players, they have a very good youth training system. When players become famous and leave, they immediately train new potential rookies.
This is the key to Monaco's continued competitiveness.
Of course, Monaco’s boss is not short of money, and his personal financial resources are not much different from those of Chelsea’s boss.
If there are players willing to come to Monaco to play, he will not hesitate to spend a lot of money.
Just look at this. This summer, Lu Wenbin transferred to Paris Saint-Germain, and his teammate Carvalho transferred to Monaco.
Also this summer, Atletico Madrid striker Falcao transferred to Monaco for a transfer fee of 60 million euros.
This transfer took place before Lu Wenbin transferred to Paris Saint-Germain and shocked the world. Global media and fans were shocked by Monaco's big spending.
Not only that, this summer Monaco also introduced Colombian star James Rodriguez for a transfer fee of 45 million euros.
The two transfer fees totaling more than 100 million euros shocked the global media and fans beyond words at Monaco's generosity.
In the past, I only saw that the superstars of Monaco left one after becoming famous, and I thought Monaco was just a factory for processing stars.
Only now do I realize that Monaco is not short of money and can pay a transfer fee of over 100 million in the blink of an eye.
If Lu Wenbin's transfer hadn't dampened the heat, Falcao, Rodriguez and Monaco would probably have become the most sensational transfers this summer.
With such a huge investment in introducing superstar players and training countless young rookies, it is understandable that Monaco is the only unbeaten team besides Paris Saint-Germain in the first five rounds.
At present, only Monaco has the possibility to compete with Paris Saint-Germain. Although the probability is very small, it is still possible.
At 8 p.m., with the referee's whistle, the 6th round of the 2013/2014 French Ligue 1 match between Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco officially began at home.
With luxurious configuration and playing at home, Paris Saint-Germain naturally launched an offensive wave, bombarding Monaco from the start of the game.
In the 9th minute, Lu Wenbin passed the ball to the flank, Cavani broke through the flank and made a cross, Ibrahimovic overpowered Carvalho and got the first point and headed the ball into the goal.
Unfortunately, Ibrahimovic's header was not good to begin with, and he was interfered by Lu Wenbin's former teammate Carvalho, heading the ball a little too straight, which was saved by the Monaco goalkeeper and then cleared by the Monaco defender.
In the 14th minute, Lu Wenbin passed the ball directly into the penalty area. Ibrahimovic took the ball and pretended to shoot, which caused Carvalho and the goalkeeper to rush over. However, Ibrahimovic hit the ball with his heel. Lu Wenbin rushed up from behind and shot the ball. The ball penetrated Monaco's goal like a cannonball.
Lu Wenbin and Ibrahimovic completed a heel-to-wall pass to score the first goal, giving Paris Saint-Germain the lead.
However, although Paris Saint-Germain has a luxurious lineup, the 433 formation and the aggressive attacking style of play will inevitably lead to many gaps in Paris' backcourt.
In addition, Blanco does not have the defensive coaching experience of Mourinho, so Paris Saint-Germain's defense is not very good.
In the previous games, the opponent was too weak, so it didn't show up. In this game, Monaco hit back.
In the 27th minute, after receiving the pass from Lu Wenbin, Ibrahimovic wanted to pass Carvalho and enter the penalty area to shoot, but he did not expect that Carvalho's defense this time was stronger than his offense.
Carvalho saw the opportunity and suddenly rushed forward to steal the ball from Ibrahimovic. He then waited in position for Ibrahimovic to counterattack and passed the ball.
Monaco launched a quick counterattack, and finally Rodriguez made a cross from the flank, Falcao squeezed out Silva in the middle and headed the ball into the goal.
1-1, Monaco equalized the score.
This made thousands of Monaco's away fans go crazy and celebrate wildly.
Carvalho intercepted the ball, Rodriguez assisted and Falcao scored. These were the three most famous stars introduced by Monaco this summer, who contributed the goal to equalize the score for Monaco.
Other neutral fans who were attracted by Lu Wenbin to watch the Ligue 1 game also discovered at this time that Ligue 1 also has so many stars, and they can score such beautiful goals and compete with Paris Saint-Germain.
This game won the attention of many new fans for Ligue 1.
However, although Monaco is quite strong, there is still a gap between it and Paris Saint-Germain, which was built by the Qatari oil tycoon.
Especially the presence of Lu Wenbin is the biggest difference between the two sides.
In the 36th minute, it was Monaco's attack and Monaco fans were still waiting for their team to score a goal to overtake. As a result, Rodriguez's dribbling was tackled by Matuidi at the front of the penalty area.
The ball that Matuidi cleared fell to Lu Wenbin's feet, and Lu Wenbin began to counterattack quickly with the ball.
One person, two people, three people, Lu Wenbin used bicycle kicks, dribbling past three people, and Marseille turns to reach the top of Monaco's penalty area.
Carvalho gave up marking Ibrahimovic and rushed over to make up for the defense, but Lu Wenbin was not prepared for him at all, nor was he prepared to enter the penalty area to shoot.
Lu Wenbin shot directly from the top of the penalty area.
The ball passed by the toes of Carvalho who was trying to block the shot hole, flew over the head of another Monaco defender, avoided the goalkeeper's fingers, and flew into the Monaco goal.
Lu Wenbin scored the second goal for Paris Saint-Germain, helping Paris Saint-Germain to lead Monaco 2-1 at home again, and the initiative returned to Paris Saint-Germain.
