After the crazy celebration, the players returned to the locker room and changed into the championship T-shirts that the club had specially prepared for the champions.
At this time, the podium had been set up.
The first to be presented was the runner-up medal.
After the Barcelona players received the silver medal for the runner-up, they hastily left this sad place.
Now, it was time for the champions.
The Inter Milan players went on stage one by one to receive the award.
Everyone's face was full of excited smiles. They had worked hard for a season, sweated and fought hard, and finally received the highest honor in European football!
After the team captain, Javier Zanetti, and the other members of the team's coaching staff received their medals, Li Ang, as one of the last two Inter Milan players to go on stage to receive the award, went on stage to receive the award.
He received the gold medal from the hands of the UEFA president, Johansson.
*****
The Swede looked at him and did not hide his surprise. "Li, you are really amazing. Your coaching talent has shocked everyone! I gave you the UEFA Europa League gold medal last year. I didn't expect to give you the UEFA Champions League gold medal so soon! Congratulations, Li, the European champion coach! "
Li Ang smiled. "Thank you, Mr. President."
Behind Li Ang, the Inter Milan captain, the Argentine "young general," Javier Zanetti, walked up.
Johansson gave the gold medal to Javier Zanetti, then hugged the Inter Milan Team captain, patted him on the shoulder, and said with admiration, "I still remember the UEFA Europa League trophy that I gave you in 1998! Eight years have passed, and now you are the Inter Milan Team captain! You are standing on a higher stage! Congratulations, Harvey! "
Johansson's words made Javier Zanetti think. Yes, eight years, eight years. In these eight years, Inter Milan had not been easy. They had been working hard, but they could not find the path. Now, finally, under the leadership of Manager Li Ang, they had reached the top of Europe!
As a veteran who had witnessed Inter Milan's years of waste, Zanetti felt it most deeply.
The Inter Milan Team captain expressed his gratitude to the UEFA president.
Then, Johansson handed him the trophy.
Javier Zanetti looked at the trophy in his hand. The smooth surface of the cup reflected his slightly distorted face.
The cold touch of the metal trophy gave him goosebumps all over his body.
The players could not wait any longer!
They were yelling, "Three, two, one!"
Then, amid the low roars of the crowd, the team captain, Javier Zanetti, raised the big-eared trophy high.
When it did, blue-black confetti sprayed out from behind the podium, and Queen's "We Are the Champions" played over the stadium.
The entire Stade de France, the Inter Milan fans in front of the TV, and the faraway Milan fans in Italy, all the Inter Milan people shouted crazily, "We are the champions! We are the kings of Europe! "
*****
The players celebrated crazily. Every player grabbed the trophy, hugged it, kissed it, and took a photo with it as a souvenir.
Li Ang stood there and looked at the cheering crowd. Looking at the magnificent scene, his eyes were full of pride. He had come to Inter Milan for a year, and he had changed the fate of this century-old powerhouse. He had led this powerhouse, which had been wasted before, to the top of Apennine and the top of Europe!
Then, Li Ang was hugged tightly by someone. It was Moratti!
The old man hugged Li Ang and shouted in the Chinese's ear, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! "
The old man, who loved Inter Milan deeply, was crying tears of joy … He was crying tears of joy!
The players were still celebrating. Inter Milan boss Moratti, Inter Milan president Facchetti, and Inter Milan manager Li Ang stood on the sidelines and looked up at the night sky of Paris, the capital of France. The fireworks in the night sky were in slow motion!
This scene became a classic in the history of the Champions League.

When the Inter Milan team returned to Milan with the Champions League trophy, the whole city of Milan was in an uproar.
The Italian national television broadcast Inter Milan's triumphant return live to the whole of Italy.
The plane had not yet landed at Malpensa Airport when the window was opened. An Inter Milan Team flag fluttered in the wind, revealing the bald head and face of the Brazilian superstar, Ronaldo.
Seeing this scene, the reporters and fans below exclaimed and then cheered loudly.
They must have remembered that in 2003, when AC Milan stood at the top of Europe and the team made a triumphant return, Milan striker Pippo Inzaghi also had such an excited celebration.
Three years later, another Milan powerhouse team stood at the top of Europe, and Ronaldo recreated this scene.
From this moment on, the whole of Italy was watching Inter Milan's triumphant return live!
The Inter Milan fans celebrated wildly and warmly cheered the return of the hero!
From Malpensa Airport to the Meazza Stadium, the road was densely packed with Inter Milan fans.

"The whole of Europe is blue-black!" This was the huge headline of "Milan Sport".

This became the focus of the whole of Europe, and even the whole world's sports world.
"China coach leads Inter Milan to the top of Europe!"
"The blue-black storm sweeps Europe!"
"From the UEFA Europa League to the UEFA Champions League!"
"Inter Milan thrashes Barcelona, Li Ang beats Rijkaard again!"
The Inter Milan fans were still celebrating, and the media was still praising Li Ang, Adriano, Ronaldo, and the others. However, the Inter Milan team had to temporarily suppress their excitement because they still had a game to play.
It was the last game of the 20052006 season, the second leg of the 20052006 Coppa Italia final against Roma.
In the first match between the two teams, Inter Milan forced Roma to a draw in the away game with a score of 1: 1. In the final match between the two teams, Inter Milan had a certain advantage.

He looked down from the commentator's seat. On the turf of the Meazza Stadium, the UEFA Champions League trophy and the Serie A trophy were quietly waiting there. Not far from them was the Coppa Italia trophy that was about to be awarded!
The three trophies were shining under the floodlights, reflecting the light.
The water of Lake Como flowed slowly, and Inter Milan's footsteps did not stop.
