"Leon Maerl?"
Before long, Maerl's name appeared on the trending lists of almost every country's mainstream media, with some variations in rank due to different situations in each country that day.
The European Cup was already capturing global attention during this period, fueling wave after wave of football enthusiasm.
At this time, a superstar who already had a certain level of international influence, and a stellar performance in the European Cup achieved a significant career success, taking a big step forward, naturally causing a sensation.
However, this time the magnitude and extent of the sensation are noticeably higher than before!
Maerl's name has crossed over before; during his latter days at Arsenal, he frequently crossed into wider culture with his celebratory gestures and landmark achievements, where even many who didn't follow football had heard of his name.
But climbing onto the hot lists of nearly every country as he did this time had never happened before.
