Chapter 158 - 158: 8-0

"Twelve goals in a single Champions League season!"

"My God!"

"Kai just needed four Champions League matches to hit twelve goals!!"

The commentators at the Emirates Stadium were in absolute shock!

Under the night sky in North London,

a thunderous wave of wild cheers erupted from the Arsenal stands!

Every single Gunners fan was on fire with excitement!

Flags waved, deafening roars shook the air—

all of it wrapped around Kai like a rising tide!

On the sideline, Wenger was pumped with adrenaline.

He threw his arms around Kai, who had just run to the touchline!

Reporters scrambled to capture the electric moment with their cameras.

"Four straight Champions League hat-tricks!"

"WTF! Four hat-tricks in a row! And in the Champions League, no less!"

"This is insane!"

The press on-site was stunned.

What does it mean to be the King of the Champions League?

Fastest goal in UCL history, fastest hat-trick in UCL history,

four consecutive hat-tricks, and tying the single-season goal record in just four rounds—

any one of those achievements would be enough to drive football fans worldwide crazy!

"Another signature Kai-style rocket! Kai smashes in his third goal of the night with yet another trademark long-range cannon shot!"

"That's his 12th Champions League goal this season!"

"He's kicked off a brand-new UCL era—one that belongs to him alone!"

Meanwhile, in the Chinese broadcast studio:

The football commentator He Wei spoke with passion and awe,

his eyes lit with uncontainable excitement.

 "I often wonder… if a Chinese figure were to dominate the European football stage—what kind of breathtaking scene would that be?"

 "Our Chinese football pioneers—Fan Zhiyi, Sun Jihai—once walked the fields of Europe and paved the way for our hopes and dreams."

 "But Kai… he has magnified that dream beyond anything we imagined!"

 "He's a player standing on the very summit of European football!"

"Last season, he was Crystal Palace's savior, the Prince of Selhurst Park! He led the fallen Eagles to soar once more across the sky!"

 "And this season, he's returned with the aura of an absolute monarch. He owns the pitch!"

 "He's the new king, followed by countless shadows—the King of the Emirates!"

 "He's torn through the Premier League, steamrolled the Champions League!"

 "Now standing before us is the holder of multiple records in both leagues—"

 "The most valuable footballer on the planet—a top contender for this year's Ballon d'Or!"

 "Captain of the century-old club, Arsenal—Kai!!"

He Wei's voice rose and fell like a tide,

and instantly echoed across every livestream in the country.

---

"No need for more words—Kai is just a f*cking legend!"

"He Wei just mentioned Crystal Palace, and I instantly flashed back to Kai's matches from a year ago! Back then, he'd just been kicked out of La Masia and arrived in England all on his own."

"Exactly! I watched his final training match at La Masia. Two long passes—razor sharp! But those Barca dinosaurs actually said his style didn't fit their system and threw him out!"

He was almost unstoppable.

From head to toe, he radiated sheer confidence, leadership, and a blazing aura of dominance.

On the Champions League stage, he had once again crushed all opposition!

The scoreboard on the sideline left the AC Milan fans in stunned silence.

4–0!

Just like in the first leg, when Milan had hosted Arsenal at home and lost 0–4,

now it felt as if they'd fallen into a parallel universe.

In this strange space, they were once again being slaughtered by Kai's Arsenal—by the exact same scoreline.

Aggregate score: 8–0!

The diehard Milan fans in the stands began to tremble.

Many of the traveling female fans had already begun to cover their faces and weep.

They had just set a new record—

the worst goal margin in Champions League knockout history!

8–0 over two legs!

In the 2007–08 season, a still-strong Liverpool side had thrashed Beşiktaş 8–0 over two legs in the group stage.

But Beşiktaş was just a mid-tier Turkish team.

Milan was a European powerhouse,

a Serie A double champion!

 "No Milanista will ever forget these two nights of utter humiliation,"

murmured a reporter from Gazzetta dello Sport, face full of grief.

Back on the pitch.

Both teams returned to their halves.

Three seconds after the restart,

the referee glanced at the clock and blew the final whistle!

Cheers exploded again from the stands!

A frenzy of celebration whirled above the stadium!

Pirlo brushed back his long hair and walked off the field quietly,

his lonely figure captured by every camera present.

Every Milan player wore a blank, defeated expression.

Some collapsed on the turf; others silently made their way toward the tunnel.

Normally after a match, players from both sides would shake hands or share a quick hug.

But after an 8-goal beating over two legs,

Milan simply didn't have the heart.

Even Allegri hurried straight down the tunnel.

---

Arsenal's substitutes rushed onto the field!

Everyone ran toward Kai, mobbing him in celebration!

Three goals and an assist!

Four consecutive Champions League hat-tricks!

Van Persie lifted Kai onto his shoulders and ran wild around the pitch!

The Arsenal fans roared in ecstasy!

The thunderous shouts never once stopped!

---

Post-match press conference:

Wenger didn't linger long in the media room.

Still radiant with pride, the Professor gave a short, sharp response:

 "Kai is a great Arsenal legend.

And our target for the Champions League is now the knockout stages!"

---

In Milan's press room, Allegri looked utterly dejected.

This was the same coach who had led Milan to the Serie A double in his first season in charge.

But now, in this year's Champions League, he had suffered a complete collapse.

Two matches against Arsenal: lost 0–8 on aggregate.

Previously held to a draw away to Borussia Dortmund.

Now in Group F, AC Milan had slipped to third place.

Their qualification hopes were now in serious danger.

 "Tonight's result—I can't shirk the blame.

But we didn't just lose to a team… we were completely dismantled by one man."

 "Right now, he's an opponent that Milan simply cannot overcome.

Every move he makes suffocates us."

 "Perhaps my experience is still too shallow.

I drew up an entire tactical plan to contain Kai…

and none of it worked."

Before stunned eyes from the Milan press,

Allegri left the room with his head down.

---

A few months had passed since the first leg.

But compared to that humiliating 0–4 loss at the San Siro,

Allegri looked even more defeated tonight.

Kai and Arsenal had proven to the world—

That the massive away win at the San Siro was no fluke.

That this team could dismantle the defending Serie A champions twice, in any venue.
