Arsenal 1-4 Chelsea missed the Europa League title and legendary goalkeeper Cech retired

Chelsea lift the Europa League.

The score of 1-4 was really glaring.

In the early morning of the 30th, the Europa League final was held in Baku, Azerbaijan, and Chelsea won 4-1 against Arsenal with Eden Hazard's two passes and one shot, and won the Europa League again after 6 years. And Arsenal's hopes of entering the Champions League were completely shattered on this night...

Cech finished the last game of his life.

What shattered was not only the dreams of Gunners fans, but also the farewell battle of the career of a generation of legendary goalkeepers, Czech Peter Cech.

Unlike Hazard, who is about to leave Chelsea, as the greatest goalkeeper in Chelsea's history, Cech fatalistically represented Arsenal in the Europa League final in Baku, and met the "Blues" unexpectedly.

Having Chelsea as a rival to bid farewell to Cech's career, although it is the most lamentable fate, may also be the most suitable choice.

Olivier Giroud's header broke the goal to "kill the old master".

Looking back on Cech's career, the most memorable scene was experienced with the Blues:

In the 2004-2005 season, Cech, who joined Abu's "Lub Legion" from Rennes in Ligue 1, won the league title with the Blues after a 50-year absence. The city gate he defended was only breached 15 times in the entire Premier League season, and it was also the best performance in the history of England's top league.

In the 2006-2007 season, as one of the world's best goalkeepers at the time, Cech suffered a serious head injury in the Premier League with Reading when he suffered a "headshot" from his opponent – an injury that, according to doctors' records, nearly cost him his life.

The helmet is the symbol of Cech.

So, as the Czech struggled to recover from his serious injuries and regained his footing in front of the goal, the fans found that there was an extra "beret" on his head, and the fans were also distressed to find that Cech, who had almost never had serious mistakes before, began to increase in all kinds of incredible mistakes...

As a result of that severe impact, he was plagued by severe headaches for the rest of his career.

Despite this, Cech remains the team's biggest reliance on the goal line. In 2008, on a rainy night in Moscow, Chelsea fought manchester United in the Champions League final, all the way to the penalty shootout.

Eden Hazard scored twice before he announced his departure from Chelsea after the game.

Petr Cech saved Ronaldo's penalty, leaving the Blues only a stone's throw away from the Champions League title, but captain Terry slipped on the soles of his feet, allowing Cech and his teammates to rub shoulders with the trophy.

But four years later, history has given the "old boys" the best compensation.

In the Champions League semi-finals and finals, Chelsea experienced more than 300 minutes of bombardment of Bayern under Barca's "Dream Three" and Heynckes, and stubbornly stood up to the end, lifting the Big Ears Cup that these people had longed for for a lifetime.

The 30-year-old Cech can be described as a great achievement, in three games of high and low gear, let people seem to recall the Czech door god in front of the goal line like a needle in the sea.

Ozil took the runner-up medal.

Especially in the final at the Allianz Arena, Cech first saved Robben's penalty in extra time, and then in the penalty shootout chelsea first, he turned away the penalties of Oric and Schweinsteiger, and became the Blues' super hero in Europe with an optimus performance.

However, this performance, as if it were yesterday's recurrence, may be like a dream, coming and going quickly. As Courtois's position gradually stabilized, Cech made the decision to leave after winning 1 Champions League, 1 Europa League title and 4 Premier League titles for Chelsea.

"Papa Cech" can't save Arsenal either.

Because in his heart, he is not honest and old, although he loves Stamford Bridge, he does not want to spend years on the bench here, so he came to Arsenal in the same city and spent the last four years of his career here.

However, the "Cech Daddy" in the mouth of the Gunners fans failed to fight back and save Arsenal, but Cech's football life has long been integrated into the City of London.

Petr Cech has only one, and his reliability, indomitability and loyalty are all unique.
