Liverpool's opponent in the Champions League semi-final was Bayern Munich from Germany.

Many people felt that Martin O'Neill should abandon the domestic league and concentrate on the Champions League. If he could win the Champions League, it would obviously be more impressive than winning the league title.

So they couldn't understand why Martin O'Neill didn't rotate his squad for the game against Arsenal.

Was it really okay to take such a tired team to play Bayern Munich?

In Germany, the Munich media were very optimistic. Because although Liverpool had eliminated Real Madrid, they had also exhausted all their strength. Bayern Munich was facing a Liverpool team that was already exhausted and posed no threat.

But they were all wrong.

"Hero—"

Old Hartson roared, drawing out the sound.

Accompanied by his voice, Chen Hero was already gliding in the air. He spread his arms like a bomber, roaring as he flew over the Bayern Munich goal!

At this moment, old Hartson's roar sounded like an air raid siren!

In the sound of the air raid siren, the Russian Bear bomber began to drop its bombs.

Chen Hero's forehead slammed hard into the incoming football, a powerful header!

The football flew straight into the goal guarded by Neuer. Although Neuer judged the direction correctly and made a save, Chen Hero was too close to the goal when he headed the ball, and he headed it with great force, and the ball was so fast that even if Neuer made a move, it was only after the ball had flown into the goal...

"Ohhhhh! Hero! It's Hero again! He helped the team open the scoring in the game!"

Anfield stadium was boiling.

In fact, before the game, many people, including many Liverpool fans, didn't think their team could make it to the final. After all, the team was in a very difficult situation. They were already very satisfied that Liverpool could reach the top four in their first season back in the Champions League.

Liverpool had fallen too hard in recent years, to the point where many fans had lost their spirit and didn't have much extravagant hope. Being able to enter the Champions League semi-finals was enough for them to cheer.

So when Chen Hero took the lead in helping Liverpool score, many Liverpool fans were surprised.

On the other hand, Ferguson in front of the TV was very excited.

Things were really developing as he had hoped...

※※※

Anfield was a boiling pot, but most of the fans were just cheering for Chen Hero's goal, not happy about Liverpool's prospects. Because Chen Hero's goal was of great significance!

"Hero has scored his nineteenth goal in the Champions League this season!" the commentator shouted.

Before the game, the media had been repeatedly publicizing this matter, so everyone knew that Chen Hero only needed one more goal to become the highest-scoring player in a single Champions League season in history.

Now he had lived up to expectations!

"Messi's record is now obsolete! What a short-lived record, Messi is really unlucky..."

"This is a historic moment! Hero has become the number one person in Champions League history! Nineteen goals in a single season, what a terrifying number! Many forwards may not be able to score that many goals in all competitions in a season, but Hero has done it easily! Think about his thirty goals in the Europa League last season... it's really terrifying!"

"I think the days when everyone could get the best scorer in a cup competition by scoring eleven or twelve goals in a season are gone forever... Now you'd be embarrassed to compete for the best scorer if you don't score twenty goals!"

"The terrifying Hero, living in the same era as him is the tragedy of other forwards, defenders, and goalkeepers!"

"Neuer, as Germany's number one goalkeeper, has no way to deal with this ball... The current Hero is almost invincible in the air!"

"Should we criticize the performance of the Bayern Munich defenders? No, in fact, the Bayern Munich defenders have done their best... But Hero is Hero!"

Commentators from various countries sent their praise to Chen Hero, and beautiful hats flew to the top of his head one after another.

Chen Hero was also very happy after scoring because he had surpassed Messi and become the player with the most goals in a single Champions League season!

"Hero's first Champions League game was when he was at Naples, in the 2009-2010 season, he scored ten goals and won the best scorer of that Champions League. In the following second season, he defended the title of Champions League best scorer with a crazy performance of thirteen goals in seven games. After that, he transferred to Liverpool, and he was unable to participate in the Champions League for two seasons. This season is his first season back, and he has already scored nineteen goals in the semi-finals! He is currently seven goals ahead of Messi, who is in second place! Such a huge gap makes it almost impossible for Messi to reverse Chen Hero... So if there are no accidents, the best scorer in the Champions League this season will still be Chen Hero..." After praising Chen Hero, the commentator began to introduce Chen Hero's wonderful performances in the Champions League.

"He has participated in the Champions League three times and has scored forty-two goals. Such a result can be ranked in the top ten on the Champions League all-time scorer list! It is really commendable to have such a performance after only participating in the Champions League three times!"

However, if Chen Hero wants to completely defeat Messi, he needs to score more goals. Although he has surpassed Messi in the single-season goal record, he is still behind in the total scorer list.

The person currently ranked first on the scorer list is Raul Gonzalez, who used to play for Real Madrid and Naples, but Raul announced his retirement last summer. So his eighty Champions League goals can no longer be refreshed. Messi took the opportunity to catch up.

Now Messi has scored sixty-nine Champions League goals, ranking second behind Raul.

Considering Messi's age and his state, it is only a matter of time before he surpasses Raul. Maybe in less than two seasons, he can leave Raul behind and become the number one on the Champions League all-time scorer list.

Now Chen Hero has scored forty-two goals, which ranks tenth on the total scorer list, tied with Del Piero in ninth place, both with forty-two goals.

Above Chen Hero, there is also Inzaghi with forty-six goals, Eusebio with forty-six goals, Shevchenko with forty-eight goals, Di Stefano with forty-nine goals, Henry with fifty goals, and Van Nistelrooy with fifty goals.

Further up are Messi and Raul.

It seems like there are so many people, but the gap between them and Chen Hero is only a few goals to a dozen goals.

Look at Chen Hero's current state, what are these few goals!

※※※

Chen Hero chose to celebrate breaking Messi's single-season goal record by showing off the tattoo and muscles on his back.

He received a yellow card for this, but he didn't care at all.

He just wanted to let Messi see—the bear is here, watch out!

Chen Hero's goal was unexpected even by Liverpool fans, so Bayern Munich was even more surprised as his opponent.

Bayern had done special research on Liverpool before the game. They knew that Liverpool currently had a tight schedule, the team was consuming a lot of energy, and there were also injuries.

Even with the home advantage, such a team should not be able to compete with Bayern Munich. At the same time, they also learned that Liverpool was still facing pressure from Manchester United in the domestic league, and they noticed that Liverpool had never won the league title since the establishment of the Premier League, and now they had a great opportunity to win this title...

The Germans noticed and took all these details into consideration, which shows their meticulousness and seriousness.

But they didn't take into account Chen Hero's state and ability...

It wasn't just Chen Hero alone. The entire Liverpool team performed very well.

The huge inertia of eliminating Real Madrid at the Bernabeu was still taking effect.

This inertia continued until the second half.

In the sixty-third minute, Liverpool scored another goal at home. This time, the goal was scored by Sanchez.

Anfield was completely boiling.

Leading by two goals at home, does this mean that Liverpool has already stepped into the final with one foot?

We have a chance to go to the Champions League final!

This thought was growing wildly in many people's hearts, like weeds.

But after scoring this goal, Liverpool's inertia seemed to be gradually disappearing, and fatigue began to show on the Liverpool players who were overexcited.

Some players started to run out of energy due to fatigue.

Then, in the seventy-ninth minute, Liverpool's goal was finally lost.

Bayern Munich's center Mario Gomez scored a valuable away goal for Bayern.

Maybe an away goal looks inconspicuous now, but who knows what role this goal will play in a week?

Gomez was also very excited after scoring the goal. He knew the importance of this goal, so he didn't care about the yellow card and took off his jersey to celebrate the goal, showing the fans his strong muscles.

His teammates swarmed up and directly overturned him to the ground, and then pressed on him.

※※※

The Anfield stadium, which had been boiling like a pot, was quiet at this moment.

The TV broadcast gave close-up shots of many Liverpool players to see how they reacted after losing the ball.

Most of the Liverpool players were just standing in place panting heavily, and the expressions on their faces seemed a little dull—they were so tired that even their thinking and expressions were numb, which shows how difficult Liverpool has been during this period...

"So it turns out that Liverpool players really feel tired..." the commentator said with emotion.

Before, Liverpool had eliminated Real Madrid and also beat Arsenal in the league, making many people think that Liverpool was a tireless mechanical warrior.

Ferguson, who was in front of the TV, grinned silently after hearing the commentator's sigh.

His guess was correct, Liverpool's previous performance was indeed a flash in the pan!
