As the cameras focused in, golden and red confetti rained down over the Manchester United players, as well as the trophy Tang Ye was carrying.
Tang Ye first handed the trophy to Rodri beside him. Rodri raised it a few times before Erik ten Hag took it away.
"Ooh, ooh, ooh!"
The Manchester United players on the podium began egging him on, joined by most of the fans in the stands.
Erik ten Hag seemed to know what everyone wanted to see, so he did not hesitate. He kissed the spot on the big-eared trophy bearing the Champions League logo.
"Wow!!!!"
"Ha-ha!"
Erik ten Hag passed the trophy to de Jong, while Tang Ye took the opportunity to receive his own MVP award.
This was Tang Ye's third Champions League final, and he had now claimed his third Champions League final MVP award.
It was worth mentioning that Tang Ye was also the bronze boot winner of this Champions League campaign. For a midfielder like him, that was certainly not a bad result.
"Still, I think Manchester United should reflect on why the three midfielders scored almost as many goals as the three forwards."
"Ha-ha, true, but that isn't what we're discussing today. Manchester United are today's winners, the Champions League champions!"
Tang Ye waved his MVP trophy at the stands. Every time he swung it out, the fans responded with a chorus of "wow," which was quite amusing.
Setting aside the scoreline and looking only at the statistics, Manchester United had actually held a fairly substantial advantage over Real Madrid.
But that did not mean Manchester United had won easily.
They had still put in plenty of effort.
Perhaps if Real Madrid had adjusted faster in the second half, they might have had a chance to drag the match
