This morning, the Euro Cup Group C battle is in full swing, Austria with a score of 3-1 reversal of North Macedonia, the team hero Lena, Gregoric and Arnautovic each built a merit. It is worth mentioning that Arnautovic not only helped the team to lock the victory, but also with a wonderful long-distance shot to become the second player in the European Cup after Yilmaz scored goals in the Chinese super players.
The feat also marks the growing influence of the Chinese Super League on the European stage. Looking back at history, since Yilmaz's record-breaking debut in the 2016 Europa League, Chinese Super League players have scored in Europe for two consecutive tournaments. Prior to this, only one player playing for a club outside of Europe scored in the history of the Europa League, and that was Slovakian winger Weiss, who was playing for Qatar's Gharafa at the time of the last tournament, scoring just six days later than Yilmaz.
It is worth mentioning that the goal scoring record of Chinese Super League players in the UEFA Europa League not only highlights the competitiveness of the Chinese Super League globally, but also reflects the brand new image of Chinese soccer on the international stage.
