The game continued.
After Balotelli's goal, an incredible scene took place at the Emirates Stadium.
As long as an Arsenal player touched the ball, the entire stadium was filled with boos. When the ball reached Inter Milan's side, there was applause.
This strange scene shocked everyone.
This was the Emirates Stadium, Arsenal's home ground.
"The Arsenal fans have betrayed us." Lineker shook his head and said, "They can't stand Arsenal's ugly performance in this game. I believe that at this moment, the Arsenal fans are the ones who are suffering the most."
It was well known that the loyalty of the English fans was the highest in the five major leagues. Even when the team was in a predicament or was behind by a large score, it was rare to see the fans of the Premier League team booing their own team in large numbers. They were more likely to sing in the stadium and cheer for their team and players.
However, at this moment, such a scene had happened. The Arsenal fans were booing their team and applauding Inter Milan at the same time, as if this was Inter Milan's home ground.
This could only show how disappointed and pained the Arsenal fans were at this time.
Li Ang saw the Arsenal fans' 'betrayal' on the sidelines and he could not help but laugh.
This game, such a scene, was destined to be one of the iconic games of his career. Poor Arsenal was the most tragic backdrop.
Of course, the most pitiful were the Arsenal fans. The fans were innocent, but who asked the team they supported to be so disappointing …

Li Ang then made two substitutions.
The Brazilian full back, Mai Kong, came on as a substitute and replaced the team captain, Javier Zanetti. Inter Milan's captain's armband was placed on the arm of the goalkeeper, César.
Cassano came on as a substitute and replaced Arshavin, who had problems with his fitness.
Arsenal's biggest problem with their fitness, which was caused by the lack of two players, completely exploded in the last ten minutes of the game.
Inter Milan, on the other hand, had full control of the game and had no intention of withdrawing their players.
In the 83rd minute, Inter Milan's sixth goal arrived.
Cassano's beautiful pass was sent to Diego Milito's feet. After the Argentine tackled Senderos, he shot a powerful shot.
This goal changed the score to 6: 0!
"The biggest significance of this goal is that it made Arsenal's humiliation even greater," the English commentator, Eddie Gray, said in a sad tone.
"We can even announce in advance that Inter Milan has advanced to the semifinals!" the Italian commentator shouted excitedly.
That was indeed the case. With a 6-0 lead, no one thought that Arsenal would have a chance to make a comeback even though there was still the second leg of the game. This Inter Milan team was unprecedentedly strong. It would be extremely difficult to beat them, let alone make a comeback from a 6-0 deficit.
Furthermore …
"The game is not over yet. Inter Milan still has a chance to continue scoring," Rossi said.
*****
Li Ang finally got up. He walked to the side of the court and made a gesture.
This meant that he wanted to be steady, or to put it more bluntly, he finally decided to let Arsenal go. The massacre was over.
This was not because Li Ang wanted to save face for Arsenal, but because of Inter Milan's own considerations. It was not a good thing for the players to be overly excited.
Slowing down the pace of the game at the last moment of the game was also to avoid provoking the Arsenal players. If an Arsenal player lost in a hurry and maliciously hurt someone, it would not be worth it. The score of 6-0 was enough for Inter Milan to advance.
Compared to entering the last ten minutes, the last ten minutes were a kind of torture for Arsenal.
With a six-goal lead, Inter Milan finally slowed down the pace of the game a little. The football began to be passed around their feet. The Arsenal players did not press for the ball. The Inter Milan players just kept passing it around. Anyway, it was to waste time. At the same time, it was safest to keep the ball under their feet.
The Arsenal players were exhausted at this time. At first, they tried to press for the ball, but they could not get the ball at all. Instead, they were like monkeys being led around the bend. This feeling was terrible. So, in the end, the Arsenal players did not press for the ball at all. What they wanted to hear most now was the whistle to end the game.
Under such circumstances, Inter Milan scored their seventh goal of the game.
This was Inter Milan's pass to the front field. They passed it around outside Arsenal's penalty area. The substitute, Walcott, was a little anxious. He came up with a flying tackle and shoveled Cassano to the ground.
The referee, Hansen, whistled and gave Walcott a yellow card.
Li Ang was shocked on the sidelines. He was most worried about this situation. Later, when he saw Cassano get up and seemed to be fine, he was relieved.
*****
Inter Milan's free kick.
Mata drove the football into the penalty area and Diego Milito jumped.
He was surprised to find that the Arsenal defender, Senderos, who was marking him, did not jump. The Swiss defender was out of energy.
Diego Milito would not miss such a good opportunity. He swung his head easily and shot the goal.
The football flew over the left hand of the Arsenal goalkeeper, Almunia, who pounced on the ball and flew into the goal.
“Goooooaaaaal！”
"Diego Milito! His third goal of the game! The Argentine scored a hat-trick! "
"The seventh! Inter Milan leads Arsenal 7-0! "
"Unbelievable score!"
"This is a great humiliation for Arsenal!"
On the electronic scoreboard at the Emirates Stadium, the score was so glaring to the Arsenal fans.
0: 7!
According to international practice, the home team, Arsenal, was in front and the away team, Inter Milan, was behind.
0: 7!!!
Before the game, which Arsenal player thought that the game would end like this?
Even though they did not know the record of Arsenal's biggest loss in a European match, this 0: 7 match was a new record for Arsenal's most humiliating loss!
This also meant that the players on the field today would be written into Arsenal's century-old history in such a disgraceful way!
For Arsenal, this was a great humiliation!
For the home team's players, it was the same!
The Arsenal players only felt that this game was like a nightmare. What they were looking forward to the most now was the whistle at the end of the game. They wanted to escape quickly, escape from here, leave this nightmare …
*****
Arsenal 0: 7 Inter Milan!
This was the final score of the game.
When the referee, Hansen, finally blew the whistle at the end of the game, the Arsenal players felt as if their souls had been sucked out. Each and every one of them was at a loss, extremely frustrated and extremely ashamed. At the same time, they even felt a sense of relief — this nightmare was finally over …
