Cheering and celebrating may be a short-lived passion for Porto. At the moment when the curtain of the whole season falls, they are destined to spend a turbulent summer. This is a foreshadowing that has been buried before the game. Monaco and Porto will suffer the same fate.

Although Deschamps did not say that he would definitely leave Monaco, Prince Albert has withdrawn his investment commitment because of the disastrous defeat in this game.

At least in the eyes of Prince Albert, Monaco is no longer suitable as an investment target. There is a sense of unrest here.

For small clubs that have always been in poor financial conditions, this is undoubtedly a blow to the snow. Without investment, they have no future.

Even if Deschamps has not publicly proposed to leave, the players have begun to become tempted. No one wants to live such a hard life.

Now no one has taken the initiative to mention the issue of renewing the contract with Deschamps, not to mention that Deschamps himself is hesitant and difficult to decide whether to leave or not.

For Deschamps, the biggest obstacle to leaving Monaco is the remaining one-year contract. He once privately revealed that if he stayed in Monaco, he would not renew the contract, but stick to it until the end of the contract. This small place with a population of less than 40,000 does not satisfy his desire to coach a giant.

Now the French media's criticism of Deschamps after the final is a bit difficult for him to accept, but failure can make people forget his achievements.

And the soft way of doing things by the entire management of the Monaco team also makes Deschamps, who has always advocated toughness, have a lot of discomfort.

But the most important thing is that the main lineup of the entire Monaco team has been shrouded in various transfer rumors before the decisive battle.

For Monaco, the Champions League final is more like attending a carnival party. Behind the dazzling lights of the whole stadium, their final ending is just a tragic supporting role. Hope, disappointment, despair, emotions are intertwined at the moment when the fireworks are gone, and the players can only leave in frustration.

Even if they don't want to leave the European stage in such a defeat, it's impossible. No one believes that they can still stand on such a peak field next year.

I'm afraid that even they themselves don't believe that they can replicate this miracle. This kind of dark horse opportunity is not so common in the Champions League.

The next European Champions Cup will still return to the most normal track, and those traditional giants will still be the protagonists on the field.

They may fall, but they will never make mistakes continuously. Even if one or two teams decline, it will not be so large.

The miracle of second-rate teams such as Porto and Monaco is enough once, even those merchants will not agree to repeat this drama.

Although the atmosphere of the final decisive battle was very hot, the sponsors did not make much money. After all, only the confrontation between giants can attract other people's attention.

This kind of civilian war can only be done occasionally. If you play too much, no one can stand it. Besides, God's miracles cannot always take care of the weak.

Just like what Porto and Monaco are experiencing now, even if their teams stand at the top of Europe, they can't escape the end of disintegration.

After the game, the first person to announce his departure was Croatian Pulso, who refused Monaco's contract extension and chose a free transfer.

Perhaps this Croatian center forward doesn't want to live a substitute life anymore. After experiencing the baptism of the Champions League, he decided to turn around and leave.

But before leaving, he was very grateful for everything Monaco brought him. After all, he was just a marginal player in Ligue 2.

And Giuly, who performed best in the final, had already decided to leave. When he was carried off the court, the little Frenchman had already decided.

In fact, the extra year he stayed was because of Deschamps. Now that the team is so turbulent, Giuly doesn't want to lock his future here.

Giants like Barcelona have long coveted Giuly's breakthrough ability. This little Frenchman will never worry about his future.

Players like Rothen and Evra, who have long been targeted by various giants, have already said hello to the club before the semi-finals. They will not choose to renew their contracts. Now all Monaco can do is to sell them for a good price in the upcoming transfer market.

And now there is also central defender Squirachi who wants to leave. This guy's resentment about not starting in the final continues. For the future Monaco team, the worst case is that among the 11 starting players who appeared in the Schalke Stadium, 7 will not appear on the Blue Coast in August.

Porto's situation may be slightly better than those tragic Frenchmen. At least Da Costa will not worry about the team's strength declining sharply.

Although Mourinho has chosen to leave, his training of substitute players throughout the season has left a lot of sparks for Porto.

Young players like Alberto, Mendes and Emanuel on the front line can keep them competitive.

At least in the Portuguese Super League, they will not see a significant decline in performance. You know, Benfica and Sporting Lisbon are also having a hard time.

Like Porto, the promising stars in their lineup are all being targeted by European giants, and the future is full of variables.

But the main lineup of the Porto team is indeed going to experience a turmoil, which may be a kind of pain that these small clubs must endure.

Just like the Ajax team that defeated AC Milan and won the Champions League in 1995, those talented young people will eventually go their separate ways.

You know, that is Ajax, a star-making factory that was once famous in Europe. It is not short of honors, but it still can't keep these players.

This time Porto is not immune. Among the starting 11, at least half will leave the beautiful city of Porto this summer.

The old goalkeeper Baia may be the first to announce his stay. Baia, who is 34 years old, has won the Grand Slam honor and now only wants to consider a stable environment for retirement, instead of continuing to play in the top five leagues in Europe. The contract extension given to him by Da Costa is also very generous.

In addition to this high salary, Da Costa also promised that Baia will be retained by the team as an assistant coach after retiring in Porto.

This is the club's reward to Baia. After all, in many games this season, it was this veteran who blocked the opponent's threats for the team in front of the goal.

The old captain Costa also chose to stay. For a player of his age, a stable and familiar environment may overwhelm other conditions.

And Da Costa also made a promise to this loyal old captain that Costa will definitely have a place in the future club management.

Even if he is the chairman, I am afraid that Porto will not exclude such a meritorious minister. Costa really needs this stable life.

After all, he is not young now. What he needs to consider is no longer a competitive issue. He still has to think about the future.

But the other three main players on the back line are destined to enter the transfer market. Ferreira and Carvalho have been targeted by many Premier League teams. Mendes also promised Da Costa that these two guys together will bring at least 30 million euros in transfer income to Porto.

In this impetuous transfer market, there is never a shortage of people who are willing to spend money. The big suckers are sure to find one these days, and they come together.

Mendes still adopts a more conservative principle in estimating this deal. Perhaps the actual transfer fee will be much higher than this figure.

And the left-back Valente has also been favored by many La Liga teams. Perhaps Spain is really interested in this kind of sharp assist full-back.

Valente himself also thinks that playing in the Spanish league is a good choice. After all, he doesn't have to go too far from home and there will be no language barriers.

But Alenichev and Bosingwa chose to stay. Bosingwa thought that the time was not right for him to go out, and Alenichev was because of the salary.

For this Russian fast knife on the wing, Da Costa is willing to invest, and he will not let go of a guy like Bosingwa who can attack and defend easily.

But guys like Maniche and Costinha have their own pursuit of honor, and they will not choose to continue to stay in the Porto team.

La Liga may be the destination of these two guys. Mendes has indeed received many transfer invitations from Spain. He is just selecting now.

Maybe Deco is the guy that Da Costa wants to stay, but too many clubs have already raised their checks and sent transfer invitations to Deco.

Even Da Costa himself does not have much confidence to compete with teams like Bayern, Barcelona and Real Madrid for Deco's ownership.

This is not a question of money, but those giants are not only dazzling with the halo of honor, but their exposure rate is not comparable to that of Porto.

For a player like Deco who is on the peak of his career, it is impossible to refuse the call from the giants. This is his inevitable choice.

Da Costa can't stop Deco from leaving. Maybe Da Costa can only hope that the operation of the club can make this Brazilian sell for a good price.

McCarthy and Dalei, both of whom are in the top five on the scorer list, naturally have no shortage of buyers. All they have to do is to choose.

But Da Costa is not worried about the income of these players after the transfer. Although the team's strength will decline to a certain extent, Da Costa promised everyone that he will also increase the introduction of players this summer and will not let Porto collapse overnight.

However, the future of these people is not as touching as Lin Yi's stay. When many clubs began to seduce him openly or secretly, Porto people could no longer hold their breath. Those crazy Porto fans began to launch various activities, even protests, to retain this talented little guy.

This crazy wave began to sweep the entire city of Porto. . . Lin Yi was also caught in this vortex. . .

(McGrady scored 13 points in a single quarter. For a moment, it seemed as if he saw his peak period...)
