The surging news debuted with push-ups

Although there are still 24 days to go before the Wembley showdown, this season's Champions League is already destined to produce a new champion.

Dortmund, who withstood the opponent's two-legged bombardment, eliminated Paris Saint-Germain with an aggregate score of 2-0 to reach the final. This unexpected victory also made the Bundesliga the biggest winner in Europe this season.

Not only have they already secured five Champions League places, but they are even expected to secure a sixth place and win both the Champions League and Europa League.

From the two major European Cups to the Club World Cup, is the Bundesliga, which is crazy about reaping seats and bonuses, or the "Farmers' League" that fans look down on?

Unai Emery shoots but misses a chance to score

Eleven years later, the past recurred

Heaven helps those who help themselves, and the Paris Dort rematch at the Parc des Princes is a perfect interpretation of this famous proverb.

In 90 minutes, Paris had a whopping 30 shots on goal, and Dort's goalkeeper Kerber had his heart pounding every three minutes on average. However, the Dort defence, who were united, followed up and allowed only a mere two percent of the opponent's shots on goal to be saved by the goalkeeper.

In the last half hour, Enrique sent all the strikers at hand, leaving only Vitinha as a midfielder, and it was meaningless to talk about tactics, and it was the quality of will that was struggling.

However, the bumblebee, which has always been crumbling, just held on to his breath. And Mbappe and other Parisian players, who have returned in vain, have already written despair on their faces before they can make up for injury.

Mbappe and other Parisian players were depressed

Dortmund, who basically retreated to their own half, was not embarrassed: Hummels, who is about to usher in his third birth year, will appear in almost every hand-to-hand fight; Ryerson, who sprinted back and forth with a group of fast horses in Paris, couldn't stick to the firing line until he had cramps.

And Reus and Brandt, who entered the Paris half during the counterattack, also consumed a second and never took half a second, even if they were tackled by the opponent.

Humbling to the dirt, the goddess of victory was finally moved to side with the Germans - in two rounds, Paris hit the frame of the goal six times, but if one of them was slightly off the rails of a few centimeters, the match would have been completely different.

However, a rare event like this, which would be hilarious in a video game, took place in the Parc des Princes.

"How did we win the game? No one will ask tomorrow. Tomorrow, [Paris] hit the post, none of that matters. The important thing is that Dortmund are in the final again! No one thought it would be like this, it's incredible! After the game, the ecstatic Reus was already a little incoherent.

For Reuss, who was crying with joy, the decision to leave the team after the season was undoubtedly sad, but his 12 years of perseverance at Dortmund are now waiting for a fairytale ending.

The same is true of his old comrade-in-arms Hummels. Eleven years ago, they made it all the way to the Champions League final, only to be runners-up thanks to Robben's miraculous performance. Time has changed, and Klopp, the spiritual leader of Dortmund at that time, tasted the Champions League in Liverpool one step ahead of the two disciples, and the two who have experienced ups and downs in the past 11 years have finally come to the closest moment to the Champions League.

In the final round of the Bundesliga last season, Dortmund, who had a chance to win the championship, suffered an unforgettable draw, and the whole Westphalia was silent. Now, history has once again given the opportunity to rewrite destiny to Dortmund, who worked hard.

Hummels scored the winning goal

Winning the double crown, 6 seats?

Based on mathematical probability alone, the Bundesliga already has a 50% chance of winning the Big Ear Cup, and if Bayern can continue to compete at the Bernabeu, the Big Ear Cup will be destined to fall to the Bundesliga.

Meanwhile, in the Europa League, Bayer Leverkusen, who beat Roma 2-0 in the first leg, are also very close to qualifying for the final. Judging from the undefeated performance of "Pharmaceutical Factory" on all fronts this season, whether the final opponent is Atalanta or Marseille, the chances of winning the championship are quite good.

This also means that the Bundesliga, which can only be ranked third or even fourth in the five major leagues in the stereotype of many fans, is likely to be the biggest winner of this season's European competitions. It is also a positive sign for Germany, which will host the European Championship this summer.

What's more worth mentioning is that next season's European competitions will be changed to the "Swiss round", and at the delicate moment of the drastic change in the rules, the Bundesliga once again stood on the spot.

According to the new UEFA rules, the points earned by all clubs participating in European competitions in a single season in each country in the Champions League, Europa League and UEFA Cup are summed up, and then the total points are divided by the number of clubs in each country participating in the three UEFA competitions to arrive at the "league season coefficient" that determines the number of foreign league places.

This also means that the historical advantages of La Liga and the Premier League in foreign battles in the past will all be reduced to zero, and the places in the major leagues next season will all be determined by last season's "harvest". As a result, the Premier League, which has disappeared from the Champions League semi-finals, and La Liga, where only Real Madrid is left, have become the biggest losers of the new format. Serie A and the Bundesliga, which have been bullied in previous years, have successfully "beaten local tyrants and divided the fields".

In addition, there are windfalls in the Bundesliga. According to UEFA's allocation principle, the fifth Champions League quota place in the Bundesliga will be allocated to the highest-ranked team in addition to the teams that have directly qualified for the Champions League.

In the most extreme case, if Borussia Dortmund win the Champions League and finish 5th in the Bundesliga, the 6th team in the Bundesliga will also be substituted in the Champions League, excluding them and the top four in the Bundesliga.

At the moment, Eintracht Frankfurt is in sixth place in the Bundesliga and is no longer in the top five (12 points behind fifth Dort, with three rounds of the league remaining), but only from a mathematical point of view, up to 11th-placed Werder Bremen, there is still a possibility of finishing in the top six.

For this hard-won place, the entire Bundesliga midstream group will not only pray for Dortmund to win the championship, but also start a more tragic involution than the Premier League battle for the top four. This may be the most significant butterfly effect before the Champions League reform.

Hummels celebrates with fans

Reproduce history and make a fortune from the sea

For the Bundesliga, which adheres to the "50+1" business philosophy all the year round and does not pay attention to the arms race as a whole, the Champions League places falling from the sky also mean that a large number of teams can get UEFA's "benefits".

Next season, the Champions League prize money distribution will reach a new high, with the total prize money rising from €2 billion to €2.5 billion, the entry fee of €680 million, the performance prize of €930 million, and the value prize money of €860 million.

Even if at least five teams in the Bundesliga don't play a game, they can still get a guaranteed income - 61.8 million euros for the old hegemon Bayern and 54.12 million euros for the new league champion Bayer Leverkusen. And if there is a sixth team that takes the luckiest last train, it will also get at least more than 30 million euros.

In another tournament with a lot of money, the new version of the FIFA Club World Cup, Bayern and Dortmund, who have secured their places in the Champions League with their performances, will also receive a participation bonus of 50 million euros.

The Bundesliga, which has already received hundreds of millions of euros before the season starts, and earns money while standing, this wave of operations is really atmospheric.

As for the Germans, how to understand the rules and make the most of them was also a clear game 27 years ago.

The 1997-1998 UEFA Champions League broke the "champion to compete" convention, and the runners-up of each national league were also qualified. So in the previous season of the Champions League and the League Cup, the Bundesliga staged an extreme operation.

Dortmund defeated the invincible Juventus 3-1 in the Champions League final and won the only Big Eared Cup in team history; In the final of the League Cup, Schalke defeated Inter Milan on penalties in 04, and the Bundesliga won the two major European cups.

Not only that, that season, Dortmund just finished third in the Bundesliga, sending the top two Bayern and Bayer Leverkusen straight to the Champions League, and the Bundesliga became the only league with three teams in the first year of the Champions League restructuring.

The UEFA Cup champion Schalke 04 ranked 12th in the Bundesliga, originally ineligible for European competitions, but was also escorted for winning the championship, which incidentally completed other lower-ranked teams to enter the European competition.

As a result, in that bumper season, 3 teams in the Bundesliga played in the Champions League, 4 teams played in the UEFA Cup, 1 team played in the Cup Winners' Cup, and 4 teams qualified for the International Toto Cup. Excluding the three teams that were relegated, there are only three teams in the entire league that do not have foreign missions. The Bundesliga teams, which can only play domestic competitions, are embarrassed to greet their peers.

Now, that scene is repeated. It is true that any reform will have lucky beneficiaries, but for the Bundesliga, which has insisted on deep youth training and steady operation for many years, it is also evident that it can always rise to the tide in the midst of drastic changes.

Remember Lineker's famous quote? "Football is a game where 22 people chase the ball for 90 minutes and the Germans win." Today, the Germans are winning not only on the pitch, but also off the pitch.
