End of night!

After Cannavaro released the statement on his official website, Freddy came to Qin Xiong's home.
Sylvia accompanied Qin Xiong, and Qin Xiong's expression looked very calm.
Cannavaro would not release such a statement for no reason, and he would only do so when he had a great chance of winning the Ballon d 'Or.
Freddy sighed softly, "He must have received the exact news. Now it seems that it is impossible for you to become Mr. Ballon d 'Or this year."
It was not that Freddy had given up, but that he had recognized the reality.
Cannavaro must also have a team behind him, and as the captain of the Italian national team, his influence and interpersonal network in European football were definitely stronger than Qin Xiong's.
If it were any other year, it might not be a big deal, but in this special year of the World Cup, Cannavaro's chips were very decisive.
Qin Xiong smiled and said, "I still have next year, and the year after that."
Freddy wanted to say something but hesitated. In the end, he sighed.
He could hear that in fact, Qin Xiong's words were not to comfort him, but to comfort him!
Because Qin Xiong would not give him any next chance, any excuse to work harder next time, and start all over again.
He would go all out, just this once, every time!
In fact, whether Cannavaro released this personal statement or not would not affect Qin Xiong's state of mind. He still had to put all his energy into the game.
Real Madrid began to prepare for the Champions League group stage against Lyon. This game could be seen as a battle for the top spot in the group. Real Madrid had to win the game to have a chance to advance to the knockout stage as the first in the group. A loss or a draw would be the final conclusion of the top two rankings.
November 22nd, 8: 45 p.m.
Santiago Bernabéu was packed to the brim.
Real Madrid fans rushed to enter the stadium and cheer for the team in the stands. Everyone thought that this was a game for Real Madrid to wash away their shame!
Defeat Lyon, take back the top spot in the group, and avenge the defeat at the Gerland Stadium!
The players from both sides lined up and entered the stadium. The atmosphere of the battle was slightly dignified. The Magic Squad's momentum was shocking. They came to Bernabéu with their heads held high and their chests puffed out confidently, as if they had no fear of this place!
Real Madrid, on the other hand, was brimming with confidence due to their recent form. Everyone wanted to regain their lost dignity from Lyon!
"The fifth day of the UEFA Champions League group stage E has arrived. Real Madrid is in Bernabéu and is facing the challenge of Lyon. For the two teams that have already qualified together, this game is nothing more than a battle for first or second place in the group. Real Madrid lost 2: 3 at the Gerland Stadium. If they can win today, they will almost be able to surpass Lyon and take the top spot with a tie. Of course, if Lyon beats Real Madrid, then the last group stage game will become irrelevant. Even if it is a draw, Lyon will firmly take the first place in the group!
In order to avoid the first place of the other groups in the elimination round, the two teams were bound to do their best to win.

Well, the game is about to start. Real Madrid will be the first to kick off. "
As soon as the game started, Real Madrid quickly went on the offensive.
Qin Xiong, who had been in good form recently, received Raúl's return pass in the midfield. He confidently kicked the ball horizontally and then diagonally forward to get rid of Carew's pressing. Then, he immediately accelerated the ball forward. When little Juninho came to get close to him, he stopped the ball on the spot and kicked it horizontally to get rid of little Juninho.
He won the cheers of the Real Madrid fans. Now, seeing Qin Xiong play on the field was the greatest enjoyment for the Real Madrid fans.
Both Toularang and Tiago were instructed by their manager, Houllier, to make targeted deployments before the game. Their defensive target was Qin Xiong!
The two moved tacitly to block Qin Xiong's advance.
With Qin Xiong's fame in the European football world, more and more teams targeted him as the number one target in the midfield.
Everyone knew that if Qin Xiong was contained, then Real Madrid's offense would lose order and fluidity.
But the accompanying question was, could Qin Xiong be absolutely contained?
He was a team player.
He would never use force!
When he saw that Toularang and Tiago were ready and their attention was obviously on him, Qin Xiong decisively stuffed the ball diagonally behind Toularang.
Raúl, who cut inside from the flank, stopped the ball in front of the penalty area. Lyon's defensive line mainly blocked the direct pass route between Raúl and van Nistelrooy. Raúl, however, passed the ball horizontally to Reyes on the right.
Reyes intended to break through Abidal the moment he stopped the ball.
Unfortunately, he failed!
Abidal accurately intercepted the ball from his feet. After the interception, he passed the ball straight to Malouda in front. The latter did not stop the ball and passed the ball horizontally to the feet of Lyon's playmaker, little Juninho.
Little Juninho dribbled the ball through the midfield and sent out a direct pass that penetrated Real Madrid's back waistline. Carew retreated back to his position to receive the ball and directly passed it horizontally.
Clek, who ran up from the flank, directly raised his leg to shoot a long shot!
The football was slightly higher than the crossbar, startling the Real Madrid players into a cold sweat.
It was clear that in today's game, although Real Madrid had not yet taken an extremely aggressive stance, Lyon was determined to use defensive counterattack to deal with Real Madrid.
In the fifth minute of the game, Qin Xiong pulled the side and changed positions with Raúl before he dribbled the ball down the goal. He bypassed Revier on the left flank and used his flowery foot to pass the ball. Raúl grabbed the goal and nodded his head to shoot at the goal!
Bang!
The football hit the goalpost and bounced out. Raúl held his head in regret.
Deafening applause and cheers rang out at the Bernabéu.
After Qin Xiong's exquisite display of skills came into view, the audience was intoxicated.
However, many of the Real Madrid fans who were still clapping suddenly stopped.
Because they saw Lyon seize the opportunity to launch a wave of extremely threatening offensive.
Qin Xiong and Raúl both rushed up, so the defense in the midfield and the flank was slightly empty.
After Clek received Toulalan's diagonal pass, he rushed forward on the right flank!
He quickly pushed Lyon's attack into Real Madrid's dangerous zone.
Just as Carlos stepped forward to intercept, Clek passed the ball horizontally to little Juninho, who ran up from behind.
The striker, Carew, ran into position and little Juninho observed Real Madrid's defensive layout. His confidence suddenly exploded!
