From the man behind the football king to the football king.

Chapter 902: New Dynasty
Bruno expressed regret for Italy, but still believed that Portugal's victory was a matter of course.

"I know that maybe some fans will feel sorry for Italy, they also tried their best in the final, but what I want to say is that football games are not something you can win just by working hard enough. Portugal played better than Italy tonight and we deserved to win."

Afterwards, Bruno answered many questions one after another.

The team successfully defended the European Cup, Bruno was in a good mood, and he accepted all questions from media reporters. However, many people were more concerned about whether he would leave Manchester United this summer. After all, he has led Manchester United to win five consecutive Premier League titles and four consecutive Champions League titles, and it is almost difficult to make a breakthrough. Bruno's answer to this is no.

During the interview, Bruno also took questions from several Chinese media reporters. After all, his legal wife is Chinese, so he is also very popular among Eastern fans.

………………

Amid the deafening cheers of the fans, players from both teams returned to the field to prepare for the final award ceremony.

Bruno had only just met Mancini now, and the two shook hands and exchanged a few words on the sidelines.

Although this guy was once described by Sir Alex as a noisy neighbor, his ability is unquestionable. After all, Manchester City achieved its real rise under his leadership.

After Mancini and the Italian players went on stage to receive the European Cup medals, the Portuguese players, led by Santos and Ronaldo, stepped onto the podium one after another.

Bruno deliberately fell behind the team and kept accepting congratulations from fans and guests along the way.

Not only did he lead the club to win seven championships in one season, but he also helped Portugal defend the European Cup. In addition, he scored 58 goals in all competitions for the club in a single season and a record 10 goals in this European Cup. This transcript is enough for Bruno to continue to dominate in 2021.

It can be said that at the end of this game, there was no suspense about the 2021 World Footballer of the Year and European Golden Ball Award.

Finally, amid applause and cheers, and the Portuguese national anthem, Ronaldo and Bruno simultaneously raised the Delaunay Cup high.

The live broadcast and media reporters on the scene also recorded this memorable moment forever.

………………

Portugal defeated Italy 2021:3 in the 1 European Cup final and successfully defended the European Cup title, which became the news reported on the front pages of almost all media in the world.

After the game, the Associated Press published an article commenting that under the leadership of Cristiano Ronaldo and Bruno, the two world football kings, Portugal defeated Italy 3:1, and the Five Shields successfully won the third world championship in five years.

The Associated Press believes that although Bruno did not score a goal that night, he was the number one contributor to Portugal's final victory. It was the counterattack he instigated at the critical moment that allowed Portugal to reverse the score and eventually win the most influential football tournament in the world. The 26-year-old Bruno has won the third world championship in his career. Before that, he led Manchester United to win the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, League Cup, Club World Cup, European Super Cup and Community Shield, achieving an unprecedented feat of seven championships in a single season in world football.

Today, this European Cup championship has made Bruno go down in the history of world football and he has also become one of the greatest stars in football history.

Agence France-Presse also commented immediately, reporting that the omnipotent Bruno led Portugal to defeat Italy. His performance shocked the world of football and won the European Cup crown.

The article focused on the goal instigated by Bruno that helped Portugal reverse the score, and said that this was the turning point of the game.

Italy was awarded a penalty kick, which was a great opportunity for Italy to take the lead. However, Patricio blocked Italy's penalty kick first, and Bruno's overall view and calm mind at the critical moment instigated the counterattack that decided the final outcome of the game. This was also the most powerful factor that Bruno was still named the best player of the European Cup final even though he did not score a goal.

Reuters commented that Portugal completely suppressed Italy, and Bruno dominated the game! The article affirmed the efforts of the Italian team, but Portugal had an overall advantage. Throughout the game, Portugal completely controlled the situation. Although Italy once took the lead with an unexpected goal, and even almost took the lead for the second time because of a questionable penalty, Portugal finally won the game with its overall strength advantage. The turning point of the game was undoubtedly Portugal's second goal. The counterattack initiated by Bruno completely killed the suspense of the game.

Xinhua News Agency also published comments immediately, Chinese sons-in-law are once again dominating Europe!
The article highly affirmed Bruno's role in this crucial final, believing that both teams entered the new Wembley Stadium in London with the great mission of creating team history, and that both teams played at the highest level of European football.

Italy, led by Mancini, unexpectedly reached the final and was ahead at one point in the final, but the overall advantage still made Portugal the final winner.

Chinese son-in-law Bruno became the best superstar in the game. Although he failed to score again in the final to rewrite his own record of scoring in a single European Cup, Bruno used his calm mind to plan a wonderful counterattack goal in the face of a series of unfavorable situations, breaking the Italian goal and opening the door to victory for Portugal.

………………

In addition to the four major news agencies, the British BBC TV station also recorded a match analysis program immediately after the game. Lineker analyzed in the program that Italy's dream of winning the European Cup again after 3 years has been shattered. Portugal, led by superstar Bruno, defeated Italy 1:!
Lineker said on the show that Portugal completely controlled the game and perfectly demonstrated its passing and controlling skills, making it difficult for Italy to keep the ball. In the end, Portugal turned its advantage into victory and successfully defended the European Cup.

Although Italy took the lead once due to an unexpected goal, and almost took the lead for the second time due to an unwarranted penalty, Portugal showed their tenacity and strength at the critical moment. First, goalkeeper Patricio rejected Italy's penalty, and then Bruno launched an unexpected counterattack, which directly made the situation turn 180 degrees.

The German magazine Kicker reported that "Bruno completely defeated Italy". The article believes that in this world-renowned European Cup final, Bruno led Portugal to completely suppress Italy, helping Portugal to finally defeat Italy, leaving Jorginho, the world footballer's number one rival, in the shadows.

Kicker also stated that this is Bruno's third time to win a world championship. Prior to this, he first helped Portugal win the European Cup for the first time in history in 2016, and then helped Portugal win the first World Cup in team history in 2018.

The headline of the French newspaper L'Equipe is "Bruno creates a new era". The article stated that the score of 3:1 made Portugal's dream come true. Three world championship trophies brought Portugal to the peak moment in Portuguese football history. All Portuguese will regard this as the most beautiful dream.

The article said that Bruno fully demonstrated his ability in the game and won warm applause from the audience. He created threats from the beginning, and the offensive he launched at a critical moment became the winner of the game. These proved that Bruno was still the most decisive and dangerous player on the court even if he did not score.

France's L'Equipe stated that this European Cup championship not only allowed Bruno to help Portugal create the feat of three consecutive world championships, but also made Bruno the undisputed most successful superstar in world football in 2021.

The Italian media were somewhat disappointed. Gazzetta dello Sport reported that Jorginho lost the competition with Bruno, which was very regrettable because Jorginho should have been the winner.

Italian football talent has shown signs of waning in recent years. This season, Jorginho has emerged as a dark horse. Not only did he reach the finals with Chelsea in the Champions League and FA Cup, he also led Italy to the finals with the national team. As a result, he has become one of the favorites for this year's FIFA World Player of the Year and European Golden Ball Awards. He is considered to be the top figure who could threaten Bruno's chances of winning the two awards this year, provided that he can lead Italy to win the European Cup.

Jorginho also said in an interview with Italian media after the game that losing was very sad, but he believed that Portugal's strength must be acknowledged. At the same time, he also pointed out that Italy had some tactical problems and gave Bruno too much room to move.

Italian media believe that Bruno has been the winner in three head-to-head battles with Jorginho, first in the FA Cup final, then in the Champions League final, and now in the European Cup final.

In this European Cup final, in addition to the attack that Bruno instigated to help Portugal reverse the score, there were several other opportunities, and he surpassed Jorginho in many statistics, which makes Bruno the number one winner in various selections in 2021.

The Portuguese media cheered for Bruno. Lusa published a commentary the next morning saying that after beating Italy 3:1, Bruno once again proved that he was the best player in the world, and Portugal's dream of winning three consecutive world championships was finally realized.

Lusa also stated that after winning the European Cup, media around the world praised Bruno's performance and believed that he would win this year's European Golden Ball and World Footballer of the Year.

Not only that, Lusa also wrote an article, highly praising Bruno's performance and saying that the world belongs to him. In the article, Bruno's status and influence in world football and his contribution to Portuguese football were fully affirmed.
