Chapter 798: Record Crusher

When the main referee blew the final whistle, the eagerly awaiting team staff rushed onto the field, celebrating wildly amidst the deafening cheers.

"The game is over, Manchester City clinches their fifth Premier League championship, also their third English Premier League trophy of the new century."

"At this moment, there may still be many who underestimate and are dissatisfied with this team, but their excellent performance cannot be denied. Now the Sky Blues are one of the top clubs in Europe!"

Although the Crystal Palace players felt bitter, they still respectfully offered their congratulations. Manchester City's championship this season is well-deserved.

Benteke congratulated Wang Feng as soon as possible, expressing his desire to treasure Wang's jersey.

The Chinese superstar graciously accepted, taking off his jersey and handing it over, saying, "You played excellently too. We were evenly matched. Can we exchange jerseys?"

The Belgian was pleasantly surprised and quickly handed over his own jersey to Wang Feng. After a few encouraging words from the Chinese superstar, he rejoined the celebration.

After thanking the numerous fans, the awards stage was set up, and the Chairman of the English Football Association personally awarded championship medals to each team.

When it was Wang Feng's turn, he smiled and said, "Welcome to the Premier League, legendary sir. I believe this period will be recorded in history."

Apart from Manchester City, the English Football Association should be the organization most eager for the arrival of the Chinese superstar. The data never lies, and his arrival has further significantly increased the league's influence.

The Premier League championship trophy is quite distinctive, entirely silver with two rings of green jade embellishing the base, topped with a golden crown, and two lions flanking the trophy handles.

It is said to be inspired by the traditional English "Three Lions" emblem. As for why only two lions are carved, it's because the third represents the champion team lifting the trophy.

As Kompany lifted it high, the players cheered and celebrated together, and behind the awards stage, beautiful fireworks illuminated the sky.

Manchester City clinched the league title two rounds early!

This news attracted attention from all over England and even Europe.

People not only discussed the significant impact of last summer's heavy investment by the Sky Blues but also praised the continuous high-level performance of the Chinese superstar.

Substantial funds are increasingly important for overall team strength. Since the entry of the Middle Eastern consortium in 2008, they have spent lavishly, winning three Premier League titles in less than a decade.

It's worth noting that the Sky Blues used to be struggling at the bottom of the league table, but now their performance is even better than traditional powerhouses like Liverpool and Arsenal.

And Wang Feng has proven with his performance and statistics that the club's favoritism towards him is not without reason; he is still the best player in the world.

So far, the Chinese superstar has scored 65 goals in various competitions, won the League Cup and Premier League, reached the FA Cup final, and holds an advantage in the Champions League semifinals, with his presence felt in all key moments.

"Never absent from the top stages of European football for 16 years!" commented the Manchester Evening News.

They stated that since winning the Belgian league title in 2001, Wang Feng has always managed to win domestic league titles regardless of which club he is at, a dominance that is truly remarkable.

"While other players are still striving for minimum trophies each season, the Chinese superstar has already made dominating the league his basic goal."

After a simple celebration, Manchester City actively began preparations for the second leg against Barcelona in midweek.

The club unanimously decided to hold a grand celebration only after completing all matches.

Despite holding a considerable advantage, Guardiola didn't dare to be complacent and still sent out the full main lineup to face the opponents.

Surprisingly, Barcelona didn't launch a frantic counterattack as expected but organized themselves calmly, as if being behind didn't bother them.

Messi still delivered a commendable performance, but he couldn't single-handedly save the team.

In the first half, after dribbling past defenders in the frontcourt, he assisted Suarez in opening the scoring, briefly igniting hope among the away fans. However, in the second half, Wang Feng orchestrated a counterattack, combining with De Bruyne and Sané.

Finally, the Belgian assisted Aguero in scoring a crucial goal.

At the end of the match, the score remained 1-1, with a total aggregate score of 3-2, sending Manchester City through to the Champions League final, overcoming the Catalan team!

This was the first time in the history of the Sky Blues that they had reached the Champions League final, and for a while, the whole of Manchester was painted light blue, with countless fans wearing Manchester City jerseys celebrating in the streets, bars, and restaurants.

On the other hand, Bayern Munich, after a tough 180-minute battle, narrowly defeated Atletico Madrid 1-0, setting up a meeting with the English champions at the summit of Europe.

If the Sky Blues lift the Champions League trophy, not only will they become a top club at a stroke, but they will also win the most prestigious trophy in Europe.

Because along the way, the team has defeated the French champions Paris Saint-Germain, the Italian champions Juventus, the Spanish champions Barcelona, and the German champions Bayern Munich!

On May 13th, Manchester City faced Leicester City away. It was an inconsequential match, so naturally, the head coach couldn't field the main lineup, and Guardiola opted for a complete rotation.

However, to allow Wang Feng to challenge the Premier League single-season goal record, the Spaniard gave the Chinese superstar 30 minutes of playing time.

When he came on as a substitute in the second half, the score was 1-0, with the home team leading.

The entire Foxes team kept a close eye on Wang Feng, but he still seized the opportunity. Just five minutes after coming on, he was fouled by a defending player in the frontcourt.

It was a free kick near the touchline, about thirty-five meters from the goal. Fernandinho approached and said, "Wang, why don't you wait in the penalty area for a chance? It's not easy to shoot directly from here."

Wang Feng shook his head and said, "No, I'll take the free kick. You all spread out."

Although Fernandinho was somewhat puzzled, he didn't hesitate to command his teammates to do as Wang said. On the field, the Chinese superstar had the most say.

"Oh? It looks like Wang wants to take the free kick. Does he not want to seize the goal-scoring opportunity? This place can only be used to create threats by crossing into the penalty area."

"Starting his run-up, hey! Hey hey! The ball is in! Oh my God, the ball is in!"

"Wang Feng sends a curved free kick towards the back post of the penalty area, both attacking and defending players jump to contest, but neither could reach the ball's landing spot. Suddenly, the ball makes a turn while rapidly descending, nearly brushing against the top left corner of the goal and slipping into the net."

"The Leicester City goalkeeper made a desperate save, but this angle was just too tricky."

"Was this intentional or just a coincidence? Wang's free kick skills are becoming increasingly unpredictable. Regardless, this goal has successfully broken the Premier League single-season goal record!"

Later in the match, the Chinese superstar once again broke into the penalty area through continuous cooperation in the frontcourt and scored from a tight angle, bringing his total league goals to 44.

Although in the final moments, Sane made a minor mistake, allowing the home team to score a goal, Manchester City drew 2-2 with Leicester City. However, Wang Feng still successfully became the holder of the Premier League single-season goal record.

In addition to this, he also holds the single-season goal records in the Belgian league (40 goals), Serie A (50 goals), and La Liga (65 goals), truly deserving the title of Record Crusher.
