Under the influence of the epidemic, football all over the world in 2020 was once in a standstill, the 19/20 season of Ligue 1 was not over, the international competition had to be suspended, and even the Ballon d'Or awards pressed the pause button for the first time, a doomsday scene in football. Fortunately, those major events that are late are still in the order of a year later, and the good meal is not afraid of late, which makes 2021 a golden year, and then the author will take stock of the five golden moments of football in chronological order.
01
The new coach showed his might, and the Blues reached the top of Europe after nine years!
The first inventory is the annual Champions League summit showdown, and this year's Champions League finally killed two blue Premier League champions - Blue Moon Manchester City and Blues Chelsea. This is the first time in The history of Manchester City to reach the Champions League final, before the start of the game, most fans believe that the Blue Moon has more advantages, after all, Guardiola has built Manchester City's pass control system into a pure fire, in the 12 Champions League games before the start of the final won 11 victories, enough to score 25 goals and conceded only 4 goals, an invincible posture to the Dragon Stadium. However, football is so difficult to figure out, who can think of stumbling in the first half, and Chelsea, who once missed the European zone, finally laughed to the end.
On May 30, the 39 rounds of civil war in the Premier League were staged as scheduled. After the start of the game, Werner and Sterling interpreted the true meaning of happy football back and forth, which can be said to make the fans in front of the screen both shocked and angry, and the scene was once deadlocked. Just as the game was about to turn into a hypnosis drama, Havertz detonated the adrenaline rush of every fan. In the 42nd minute of the first half, Mount sent a scalpel-like straight plug near the middle circle, and Havertz inserted it at high speed to form a one-knife opportunity! Then pass Edson and push the empty goal with his left foot! Havertz scored his first goal in the Champions League and the only goal of the game, and at this moment, the German let the Blues dream back to 2012 and finally lifted the Big Ears Cup again.
From the crumbling halfway up the road to being on top of Europe again. The first thing the Blues fans want to thank is Tuchel, who started halfway, and the German coach quickly patched up the basket problems left by Lampard after taking office, which can be described as the strongest pot maker. The second is undoubtedly The Shining Dragons Stadium in Havertz. In fact, the Blues fans must be disappointed in the performance of the 22-year-old German popular fried chicken all season, after all, with the title of 80 million sky-high transfer fees, only 8 goals and 10 assists in 45 games in all competitions, strictly speaking, even half of the value has not been played, but with the Germans on the night of the final, it can be said that the suffering and waiting of the Blues fans throughout the season are worth it, which can be described as "really fragrant!" ”

After 28 years of waiting, the Pampas Eagle is flying high again!
After the end of the European competitions, the two major international competitions continued to stir up the summer in the Northern Hemisphere. On the 10th of Brazil time, at 8:00 a.m. Beijing time on July 11, for the Chinese fans to be extremely cordial, the 47th Copa America final was played first in front of the European Cup! Some fans often ridicule the low gold content and the problem of the format of the Copa America, but they do not know that the Copa America is the oldest intercontinental football event on the planet, and its sanctity cannot be desecrated. Brazil and Argentina, the two old rivals also met again in the final. Both teams performed well before the final, both remaining unbeaten with 5 wins and 1 draw, so it is unpredictable who will die.
In the last US semi-finals, the Tango Legion lost 0:2 to the Samba Army, and the latter finally defeated Peru in the final to win the championship. In this final, in addition to revenge, argentina must end the tragic fate of 28 years without a crown, and on this night in Maracanã, Argentina finally stopped crying and survived the long wait for 28 years!
Throughout the game, it can be described as extremely fierce, the hand-to-hand combat between the two sides from the beginning of the game to the whistle blowing has never stopped, and the Maracanã that night can be said to be not only a holy place of greenery, but also a dueling arena! In the first half alone, the two sides jointly created a 22-time foul feast, and the game was intermittent and could not be described as anxious. In such a suffocating atmosphere, the superstar who stood out was not Messi nor Neymar, but the man - Di Maria! In the 21st minute, the angels descended! Di Maria received a long pass from DePaul's backcourt and scored the only goal of the game with a single knife, which made argentina's golden generation no longer a sad supporting role, and let the folded-winged Pampas Eagle fly high again! After the game, the Angels were also officially named the best player in the final, which also makes people regret, seven years ago, on the night of Maracana, if Di Maria could play, would the ending be very different?

Italian Summer! Italy wins the European Championship after 53 years!
The inventory continues, followed by the European Championship, which is also a year late, to see its golden moment. After a month of brutal duels, the 2021 Delaunay Cup ushered in the final battle at 8 pm European time on July 11! The three divisions of the army England sat at the home wembley stadium against the blue army Italy, looking back at this peak showdown, controversial penalties, penalty shootout, the scene opened widely, the whole game was full of twists and turns, it can be said that it is the most exciting final of the european championships in recent years!
Masters are deadly! In the first half, Trippier assisted Luke Shaw's goal to help England break the deadlock first, while creating the fastest goal in the European Cup! Bonucci equalised for Italy in a corner kick melee in the second half! After 90 minutes of fierce fighting, the two sides scored 1-1 into overtime! In extra time, although the Blue Army attacked tidally, it was slow to pry open the door of England, and the two sides finally ushered in a brutal penalty shoot-out! In a twelve-yard battle to test their mentality and skills, Belotti, Marcus Rashford, Sancho, Jorginho and Saka conceded penalties. In the end, Italy defeated the tenacious England 3-2 on penalties, creating a great Italian summer again after 53 years!
The protagonist of this game in Italy, or the hero of the whole cup, is undoubtedly the new goal god Donnarumma! From the group trip to the final, Italy conceded just four goals in seven games under donarumma, went through two brutal penalty shootouts and finally lifted the trophy. With his wonderful performance of high and low gear, Donnarumma was named the official best player of euro 2021, and at the end of November, he also welcomed the peak of his career honor and won the Yasin Award in 2021!

Breaking Bundesliga record, Levan won the European Golden Boot for the first time!
The 2021 European Golden Boot award belongs to the goal machine – Levan! In recent years, Lewandowski has arguably the undisputed world-class striker, with Lewan showing a terrifying goal-scoring efficiency comparable to that of Mero in the 20/21 season. Injuries and the Bundesliga fixtures have left Levan with only 29 appearances in the Bundesliga, and even then the Poles scored a jaw-dropping 41 goals, making them the most goals scored in europe's five major leagues last season, with Messi scoring just 30 in the second place. With such a powerful performance, Levan also received his first European Golden Boot award at the Bayern Museum at the Allianz Arena at 14:00 local time in Munich!
Accustomed to Messi Cristiano Ronaldo's anti-heaven performance, many fans may feel mediocre about Levan's 41 goals, if there is such an idea, it is really a big mistake! On dialysis Levan's 41 goals you can see is an average of 1.41 goals per game, each goal took only 62 minutes, second only to Messi in 2012. It is equivalent to Bayern as long as there is Levan, it is a 1:0 score to start the game! Not only that, Levan's 41 goals broke the 50-year Bundesliga goal record maintained by Bayern legend Gad Müller, and was also the first Bayern player to win the European Golden Boot after Gad Muller. Not to mention that there are only 34 rounds in the Bundesliga, so it will be even more difficult for Levan to win the European Golden Boot! So far in the new season, Levan's fiery state is still unstoppable. As of today, with 19 league goals, he once again led the 21/22 European Golden Boot, and it remains to be seen whether the Poles can defend the title of "World Front" next year!

No ancients have ever come, and it is difficult to have a comer! Messi won the Ballon d'Or seven!
The final inventory is the highest personal glory in football - the Ballon d'Or! Last year, the Golden Globe Awards were interrupted for the first time since its inception due to the epidemic, but after this year's comeback, it was unexpectedly fierce, Messi and Levan are undoubtedly the two most powerful candidates, and the former finally laughed to the end! On the night of Paris on November 30th, Messi received his seventh golden ball from his good brother Suarez, and at that moment the dragon did not come, but Messi undoubtedly became the first person in the history of the Golden Globe Award.
Looking back on the year 2021, Messi's personal performance, although not as amazing as his peak moment, is still extremely good! At the age of 34, he is still able to achieve 61 attendances in all year rounds, and contribute 43 goals and 18 assists, averaging a perfect record card of 1 goal per game. In the last Barca season, Messi led the turbulent and rebuilt Red and Blue to win the team's only title in two years, the Copa del Rey, and in the final, the king was declared the same. At the national team level, Messi contributed 4 goals and 5 assists in the journey of the Copa America, and the tournament's top scorer, assist king, and best player led Argentina to win the championship again in 28 years as an absolute core! In the year of the competition, compared with the loneliness of Levan, C Ronaldo and others in the European Cup, the America's Cup honor is undoubtedly the biggest chip of Messi's seventh golden ball. On the night of the Golden Globe, Messi's speech after winning the award was first for Levan's Golden Globe last year, showing his humble nature, who can not love such Messi?
