The 2020-2021 European Football Federation Champions League (UCL) is likely to be remembered as a tournament that marks the end of an era. Lionel Messi (34, FC Barcelona) and Cristiano Ronaldo (36, Juventus) sluggish side by side in the first leg of the round of 16 held last month, but next-generation runners Killian Mbafe (23, Saint-Germain, Paris) and Eling Hollan (21, Dortmund) were With great success, the trend of generational change became blind.
This trend has become stronger. While Holland led Dortmund to the quarter-finals with a multi-goal in the second leg of the UCL 16 against Seville held at BVB Stadion in Dortmund, Germany on the 10th, Ronaldo was eliminated by Porto in a helpless appearance. Hollan, who led the team’s 3-2 victory by scoring two goals in the first leg, was powerful on this day as well. The first goal was scored in the 35th minute of the first half, and an additional goal was added as a penalty kick in the 9th minute of the second half. The match drew 2-2 on this day, but Dortmund confirmed their advance to the quarterfinals with a total of 5-4 in the first and second games. In both matches, Hollan had a whopping four of Dortmund’s five goals. Hollan is continuing a terrifying moment of multi-goal for 4 consecutive UCL games from the 3rd leg of the group stage against Club Bruges (Belgium) to this day.
This is not all. Holan became a player who scored 20 goals at the youngest age on the’Dream Stage’ by filling 20 goals in UCL’s career after 231 days at the age of 20.
On the same day, Ronaldo, who was called’the man of UCL’ with the most goals (135 goals) in the tournament, was sluggish, and Holland’s performance was even more outstanding. Juventus won 3-2 after extra time in the second leg of the round of 16 held as a home game, but was eliminated from the round of 16 by a total of 4-4 in the first and second leg matches. Ronaldo only helped one, and finished last season and finished in the round of 16 for two consecutive seasons.
