The Emirates Stadium.
The away section, where the Ajax supporters sat, was dead silent.
The scoreboard on the sidelines showed a merciless 4–0.
It shattered the pride and hopes of the Ajax faithful.
They had arrived bearing the title of reigning Eredivisie champions.
Their club—once a European giant, proud winners of four Champions League titles.
But past glories meant nothing tonight.
Tonight, they were nothing more than the backdrop to a slaughter.
On the sidelines, Frank de Boer stared wordlessly at the pitch.
A grim realization dawned in his heart:
This Arsenal team… they weren't just strong.
They were unbeatable.
At least, not by this Ajax side.
On the field, Ajax's young players wandered aimlessly—
Bewildered.
Disoriented.
For the remainder of the first half,
The score remained 4–0.
The halftime whistle finally sounded.
Players from both teams walked off toward the tunnel, each carrying different emotions.
Christian Eriksen, making his Champions League debut,
lifted his jersey to wipe the sweat from his face.
He looked utterly exhausted, gasping for breath.
Trailing 0–4 at halftime…
Ajax's youngsters were sinking into a bottomless pit of despair.
Inside the Emirates, the atmosphere burned with relentless fervor.
The home crowd continued their wild chants and celebrations.
During the break, the London media used the halftime interval to tally up all the records Kai had already broken this season.
The reporters were stunned.
It was almost terrifying.
In just a little over two months since arriving in the Premier League,
Kai had rewritten half the league and Champions League record books.
Looking at the stats—
What talk of a "Golden Duo" era anymore?
Now it was one king above all.
In the eyes of the London press,
The future of football belonged to a new order:
One true GOAT—and many challengers.
And that GOAT…
Was Kai.
A megastar who stood above every other player in the game.
Halftime in the Dressing Rooms
In the Ajax locker room, De Boer paced back and forth.
He was a devoted Cruyffian—a staunch believer in Johan Cruyff's footballing principles.
But tonight—
That very same positional setup, that iconic midfield triangle,
had been completely torn apart by Kai.
De Boer started to doubt himself.
Had Cruyff's system… become outdated?
He didn't want to believe that.
Eriksen and the others sat in silence.
Every Ajax player wore the same blank, hollow stare.
0–4 at halftime.
And their opponents were Arsenal—led by the unstoppable Kai.
They felt nothing but despair.
No defiance.
No fire.
Only helplessness.
Meanwhile, in the Arsenal dressing room—
Arsène Wenger was beaming with pride.
His eyes burned as he looked at Kai.
"Top of the group! We're marching to the knockout stage—and we're going for the Champions League title!"
Kai raised a fist high.
That single shout ignited the entire locker room!
"Champions League title!!"
"Champions League title!!"
Every Arsenal player's face lit up with passion and resolve.
The Champions League—
What a dream.
A dream Arsenal had chased for over a hundred years.
A dream etched into the hearts of every Gooner.
In every player's eyes, you could see it clearly:
This was the moment.
As the second half began—
Ajax were struck down yet again.
De Boer had failed to rekindle any fighting spirit during the break.
Meanwhile, Arsenal's momentum was surging higher and higher.
—
72nd minute!
Kai once again showed his magical dribbling ability!
Amid gasps and cheers from the home crowd,
He carried the ball from deep in midfield all the way to the inside channel in the attacking third!
Van Persie dropped slightly to provide a passing option—
Playing as a pivot to support Kai.
At the top of the box, they executed a beautiful one-two wall pass!
Kai charged into the penalty area!
A low-driven shot!
5–0!!
The Emirates exploded into a frenzy once again!
On the sidelines, Wenger signaled toward the bench.
The match was over.
It was time for some rotation.
Olivier Giroud and others threw on their bibs, warming up eagerly.
In the away stands, the Ajax supporters looked utterly crushed.
—
81st minute!
The Emirates reached fever pitch.
Kai launched an over-the-top long ball that split the defense like a sword!
The substitute striker, Giroud, had come on for Van Persie.
He timed his run perfectly—charging into the box like a battering ram!
A thunderous header!
The ball rocketed like a cannonball—slamming directly into Ajax keeper Vermeer's chest!
The poor keeper had finally read the play correctly and got to the right spot…
But Giroud's header hit him so hard, it almost knocked the wind out of him!
It almost made Vermeer faint on the spot.
The ball was deflected high into the air.
It bounced out of the penalty area!
Giroud instinctively held his head in regret.
But where the ball, cleared by the Ajax goalkeeper, was about to land...
It was Kai again!
Arsenal fans' eyes lit up with excitement!
Relying on his god-like vision and terrifying field awareness, Kai reached almost every first drop point of a high ball before anyone else!
A shadow!
The stands erupted with a frenzy of cheers!
Close to sixty thousand fans locked their eyes on the black-haired figure at the edge of the penalty area.
On the sidelines, Wenger's eyes were burning with anticipation.
At this moment, everyone wanted to know—
How would Kai handle this ball?
On the pitch!
Vertonghen didn't dare to slack off at all—he rushed out of the box!
Trying to pressure Kai before the ball hit the ground!
But Kai, already aligned with the descending trajectory of the ball—
In an instant!
Executed a half-spin move!
The stands burst into wild cries of astonishment!
Even Giroud inside the box was stunned!
That move?
Could it be—?
Facing the charging Vertonghen—
Kai stretched his body to its fullest!
As the ball dropped down—
His body flipped in mid-air!
And the top of his foot struck the ball with a sudden whip-like motion!
"Boom!"
A bicycle kick from just outside the arc of the penalty area—twenty yards out!
Soared above Ajax's penalty area!
Instantly!
A terrifying wave of noise surged across the Emirates Stadium!
The ball, struck by Kai's overhead kick, was fierce and powerful!
He hit it perfectly!
Ajax goalkeeper Vermeer, who had just been rattled by Giroud's header, was still dazed.
And in the blink of an eye!
Kai's overhead shot came flying in!
Vermeer's eyes were blank.
He seemed frozen on the goal line—
Completely unable to react with any save attempt!
The next second!
The ball crashed into the back of the net!
With an unstoppable force, it smashed straight into the top corner of the goal!!
In an instant!
Every fan jumped from their seat!
The entire Emirates Stadium exploded!
Roars and screams spiraled into the night sky above the pitch!
Arsenal fans were overwhelmed with emotion—
Unbelievably, they screamed in ecstasy!
"GOALLLL!!"
"WTF! WTF!"
"What was that?!"
"A world-class bicycle kick from outside the box!!"
The commentary booth erupted!
Reporters and fans alike were thrown into absolute shock!
In the dying moments of the match—
Arsenal's attack showed no signs of slowing!
And Kai, with an elegant yet brutal world-class overhead kick from the edge of the penalty area—
Scored Arsenal's sixth goal of the night!
6:0!!
The Gunners had once again turned this round of the Champions League group stage—
Into a completely one-sided massacre!
And after that goal—
Kai once again completed a double hat trick in this match!
Three goals, three assists!
Arsenal's King of the Gunners displayed his full might!
Leading a youthful Arsenal side to yet another epic victory!
