"I never expected that Suarez would have such a terrifying influence in the world of football! It actually aroused the fighting spirit of Ronaldinho, Van Bommel and other outdated active stars!"
"Hahaha, everyone is full of desire and yearning for victory and championships, instead of lying on the credit book and waiting to die, this is what football, a competitive sport, should look like!!"

"Su Fan and his team met second-rate European teams in the group stage, and even the team in the same tier was Lyon, which ranked fourth in Ligue 1."
"However, AC Milan encountered Ajax, the Dutch champion, Benfica, the Portuguese champion, Anderlecht, the Belgian champion, and Dortmund, the Bundesliga powerhouse, one after another."
"And Inter Milan, the city rivals they met in the round of 16, has not lost in eight games and has frequently won by more than three goals."

Hundreds of thousands of Milan fans gathered in front of the world-famous Duomo church, singing AC Milan's team song:
"Milan, Milan, I only want to support you!"
"Milan, Milan, forever for you!"
"Milan, in the depths of our hearts and souls, you are our true friend!!"

"It is reported that more fans who failed to sell tickets have crowded into the squares and streets around the stadium, singing their team songs in unison, and the scene is unprecedentedly hot!"
"So..."
"Two teams in extremely hot form, who have not lost in the past six months, who will be the biggest winner?"
"Is it AC Milan playing at home?"
"Or Manchester United who came all the way to challenge?"
"Let's..."
"Wait and see!!"
