Under the night sky of North London!
The Emirates Stadium erupted in deafening cheers in an instant!
The fans were stunned!
The fastest goal in Champions League history!
Another insane record had just been broken—by none other than their Gunner King!
Arsenal fans waved their arms with wild abandon.
They roared with passion, shouting their hearts out!
A blitz! Another blitz!
That goal came far too fast!
And this was the Champions League stage!
The Gunners faithful were on fire with excitement!
They chanted Kai's name with all their might!
"Seven seconds!"
"That's the fastest goal in Champions League history!!"
"My God, Ajax hadn't even fully settled into their formation!"
"Arsenal's young captain—another trademark thunderbolt—has smashed open Ajax's gates!"
"Fastest goal in UCL history!!"
The live commentator was shaken to his core!
He looked toward the black-haired figure on the pitch.
"He's a walking record-breaker!"
"Since this super prodigy arrived in the Premier League, he's shattered record after record!"
"Fastest goal in the Premier League, fastest hat-trick…"
"Tonight, he's set the fastest Champions League goal record!"
"Right now, across England and even Europe, there's a whole basket of records that belong to Kai!"
On the pitch!
Right after scoring, Kai was instantly swarmed by his teammates!
He raised his arms and roared toward the stands!
Van Persie came rushing in with a cheer.
Kai leapt up!
Amid the thrilled gazes of Arsenal supporters, Van Persie carried Kai on his shoulders,
With a pack of Arsenal players charging behind them.
Everyone ran to the edge of the stands to celebrate!
"Gunner King!"
"Gunner King!!"
Arsenal fans chanted with all their strength!
Their thunderous cheers wrapped around Kai!
On the sidelines, Ajax manager Frank de Boer stood frozen.
What just happened?
The match had barely begun—not even ten seconds—and they had already conceded?
On the pitch, the Ajax players were silent.
Daley Blind and Vertonghen exchanged stunned looks.
They threw up their hands in frustration.
Eriksen stood with his hands on his hips, looking dazed.
The Ajax squad was momentarily shell-shocked.
This Arsenal side's ability to explode right at kickoff was terrifying!
In the early stages, the Gunners' attack and positional execution was enough to make one's scalp tingle.
Led by Kai, Arsenal's midfield and forward line—
Their speed and execution when settling into attack was simply frightening.
Just seven seconds—
And Ajax's goal had already fallen!
De Boer finally came to his senses on the sidelines.
He immediately furrowed his brow deeply.
This can't go on!
In the two previous Champions League group matches, Ajax had drawn both games.
If they lost to Arsenal tonight at the Emirates…
There was no question—Ajax would drop straight to the bottom of the group!
And their chances of advancing would become incredibly grim!
The Ajax coaching staff huddled up immediately, scrambling for solutions.
As the wild momentum inside the stadium refused to fade—
Arsenal's players returned to their half.
The referee blew the whistle again.
The match restarted at the center circle!
In the away section, Ajax fans looked particularly grave.
Conceding within seconds and trailing by a goal—
Facing Arsenal at their home ground—
Ajax had already run into a massive crisis at kickoff tonight!
Ajax striker Tetelemane kicked off.
Eriksen stepped forward to receive the ball.
Ajax players began moving into position.
This Ajax midfield setup followed the inverted triangle formation long advocated by Cruyff.
Eriksen and another midfielder, Lodeiro, formed a double pivot.
In the No. 4 role, Blind sat deep as the sole holding midfielder—
Acting as the crucial link between defense and midfield.
On the sidelines, De Boer clenched both fists,
Watching the unfolding situation with intense anxiety.
But soon—
Beads of sweat started rolling down the Ajax manager's forehead.
As Ajax's formation began to spread out,
Arsenal's high pressing came crashing in like a wave!
Ever since Kai maxed out his stamina stat—and pushed his speed to 90—
He no longer had any concerns about endurance, and he moved even quicker on the pitch.
Paired with the Kanté module, his coverage in defensive transitions had expanded drastically!
His God's-eye view allowed him to instantly relay positioning info to his teammates.
Since Kai joined Arsenal over two months ago,
All the players around him—
Had leveled up.
Their awareness and match IQ soared rapidly during games!
On the pitch—
Under Arsenal's press, Ajax struggled to move the ball out cleanly.
Eriksen kept playing safe passes—
But because Ajax only had one holding midfielder, their midfield lacked structural stability.
Very quickly, they lost possession!
One subtle gesture from Kai—
And Arteta understood instantly.
He darted into the passing lane just as Eriksen looked to play the ball back to Blind.
Interception!
The Arsenal fans exploded in cheers from the stands!
Eriksen tried an immediate counter-press,
But Arteta calmly shielded the ball,
Then swept it wide toward the flank.
Gibbs came flying in and hit a sharp diagonal pass—
Delivering the ball directly to Kai's feet!
Instantly—
The Emirates crowd erupted in wild energy again!
Arsenal fans focused their eyes in excitement.
Everyone knew what that young genius wearing the No. 10 jersey would do next:
Dribble, pass forward, or shoot!
He never played it safe.
Never passed backward.
On the sidelines, De Boer was now visibly panicking.
If Ajax couldn't even organize a single effective attack…
They were doomed.
Meanwhile—
Arsenal's offense looked effortless by comparison!
On the pitch!
Kai danced over the ball.
A slick elastico flicked the ball around the pressing Blind—
Completely dropping him!
The crowd roared!
The fans stared in awe.
Too smooth.
Kai's dribbling combined elegance and efficiency in perfect harmony—
It was like he was playing violin on grass.
Having left Blind in the dust,
Kai surged forward with the ball.
With God Vision fully active—
Three golden lines flashed before his eyes simultaneously.
In Arsenal's front line, Van Persie, Walcott, and Gervinho were all making their runs!
Each had positioned themselves perfectly behind Ajax's defense.
No hesitation.
Kai struck the ball with the outside of his foot—
A razor-thin curving pass skimming just above the grass!
In the Ajax fans' stunned silence,
Kai's through ball bent along an unnatural path—
Sliding cleanly between Vertonghen and Alderweireld!
It pierced straight through the defensive line!
Vertonghen's eyes widened—he spun and took off in a full sprint.
But the moment he fully turned—
Van Persie was already there at the end of Kai's pass!
The Arsenal striker stepped into the box—
One-on-one!
In the stands, Arsenal supporters clenched their fists in anticipation!
Ajax keeper Vermeer rushed out bravely.
But Van Persie dove low—
And pulled off a sliding finish just under Vermeer's outstretched arm!
The ball rolled cleanly into the net!
"GOOOAALLLL!!"
"2–0!!"
"Absolutely stunning! So clinical! That pass was straight out of a storybook!"
The live commentator shouted with excitement!
The Emirates erupted again in roaring celebration!
Another pass that split defenders—another ball threaded behind the line!
Arsenal fans had seen this kind of pass from Kai so many times already this season!
