Under the night sky of Wembley!
The feverish atmosphere had reached its absolute peak!
Fans were climbing over the barriers, storming straight onto the pitch!
Arsenal's bench had erupted in chaos as well!
The substitutes slid on their knees into the field,
sprinting wildly in celebration!
Champions!
At this moment,
anyone with Arsenal in their heart had no room for any other thought.
Only one word echoed in every mind:
Champions!
Arsenal are champions!
On the pitch, the Arsenal players cheered and roared,
rushing with all their might toward their captain!
This was a milestone moment for the Gunners!
Eight long years without a trophy—finally swept away!
Kai's arrival had injected unprecedented energy into this Arsenal,
a club that had languished in decline for so many years!
"Arsenal's legend! He's the Gunner King of Kings!!"
London media on-site erupted in frenzied uproar!
And on the sideline, Kai was suddenly engulfed,
as a wave of Arsenal players charged and hugged him tight!
"Captain, we've done it! You really led us to the championship!"
Van Persie wrapped his arms around Kai's waist with all his strength.
The young Giroud and Van Dijk—
tears streamed down their faces in that instant.
No words could express the emotions overflowing in their hearts.
Champions!
Was this a dream?
"Gunner King!"
"Gunner King!!"
"Legend!"
In the stands, Arsenal fans were overcome with passion,
pouring out their excitement with unrestrained frenzy!
Their burning gazes locked onto Kai,
that youthful figure wrapped in waves of thunderous cheers!
On the sideline, Wenger too was deeply moved.
He suddenly recalled—just half a season ago,
that unforgettable unveiling ceremony at the Emirates!
Back then, Kai had arrived with a transfer fee shattering the 100-million mark,
the most expensive signing in football history,
descending upon the Emirates as its new king!
At that time,
in that earth-shaking unveiling,
Kai had raised a single hand to the sky,
declaring loudly before the gathered Arsenal faithful,
the ambitious goal that had driven countless fans mad with excitement:
"I will lead Arsenal to fill the void of honors, and return us to the top of the Premier League!"
The Professor wept.
Wenger could no longer hide his emotion.
The vow of that young man had come full circle in perfection.
Champions!
He really did it!
"This is only the beginning!"
Kai pumped his fist toward the stands!
The Arsenal supporters in Wembley erupted!
Everyone's eyes widened, their blazing gazes fixed on the young Gunner King who carried all their emotions!
"You didn't hear me wrong—this is only the beginning!"
Kai's eyes burned as he raised his fist high!
"The first trophy in eight years is just the tip of the iceberg in our grand journey this season!"
"Our march is far from over!"
"Our goal is every trophy, every honor!"
"We will sweep across England, and stand atop all of Europe!"
"We will plant Arsenal's invincible flag across the entire continent!"
The words had barely fallen when—
in an instant!
Wembley exploded into deafening cheers!
At this moment,
Arsenal fans could no longer suppress the passion bursting from their hearts!
They raised their fists and roared, tears streaming!
"Gunner King!"
"Gunner King, lead us forward!"
"We will follow you to the death!!"
Under the night sky, Wembley had become the stage once again
for Kai's coronation!
Half a year ago,
he had arrived at Arsenal with the highest transfer fee in history.
Half a year later—
He had led the reborn Gunners to capture Arsenal's first trophy of the season!
The club's first title in eight years!
He had fulfilled part of the promise he once made.
But this season's grand blueprint for Arsenal still carried infinite possibilities for even greater triumphs!
On the touchline,
Sir Alex Ferguson stood frozen in place.
The legendary godfather of Manchester United felt a deep and crushing sense of helplessness.
Half a year ago,
in that unprecedented FA Cup final,
his emotions had been almost identical to what he felt now.
Back then, Kai had led a Championship side to stage a dramatic comeback at Wembley,
knocking out United—who at the time harbored ambitions of a treble!
And this season,
meeting once again in a cup final,
the result was the same!
Two finals.
Both at Wembley.
And both times Ferguson's team had been dismantled head-on by Kai.
The Red Devils' godfather trembled.
He gazed at that young figure wrapped in waves of deafening cheers—
the very player he had long dreamed of bringing under his wing!
It was a despairing, powerless feeling.
At the twilight of his managerial career, he had failed to restore United's glory—
instead, time and again, he had been defeated by a team led by the very super-talent he admired most.
5–0!
To be swept away by five goals in a final!
The once all-conquering Manchester United had been left completely without answers.
No fightback.
No resistance.
Ferguson let out a faint sigh.
Under the glare of the media's spotlights,
he walked alone toward the players' tunnel.
That solitary and desolate figure was quickly captured by photographers.
Watching Ferguson's lonely back disappear,
many in the press began speculating—
that this crushing 5–0 defeat,
delivered by Kai's Arsenal in a League Cup final,
could well accelerate Sir Alex Ferguson's decision to finally lay down his whistle and step away from management.
On the pitch,
United's players wore dark, hollow expressions.
Heads bowed, they trudged one after another into the tunnel.
No applause greeted them.
United's supporters had already left the stadium in droves.
Beneath London's night sky,
the vast Wembley Stadium had become a cathedral of Arsenal's celebration!
Amid the overwhelming roars of the crowd,
FA officials soon arrived.
A temporary podium was quickly erected.
At Wembley, England's legendary ground,
Arsenal would once again, after eight long years, lift a trophy!
And Kai—
just over half a year since hoisting the FA Cup here at Wembley,
would once again, on this storied pitch,
raise the third major trophy of his career!
"An epic night, a milestone for Arsenal!"
"Their first title in eight years! Kai's arrival has saved Arsenal,
saved the fallen Gunners, saved Wenger."
"And just as importantly, he has saved the millions of Arsenal fans desperate for revival in these dark years!"
"He is the beam of light that has pierced Arsenal's darkest era!"
"From the moment Kai descended upon the Emirates with his aura,
for a world-record transfer fee, history's most expensive signing—"
"The king's road for this super-genius has already begun!"
"Now, cheer!"
"This moment that stirs boundless imagination, this wonderful night—belongs to Kai, belongs to Arsenal!"
"It belongs to every Arsenal supporter!"
