In the second Champions League semi-final, Manchester United also beat Lyon 4:0.

Since then, the situation of the Champions League final is very clear, unless there is a shocking upset, basically Inter Milan and Manchester United will appear at the Bernabeu.

After the game, bookmakers were reluctant to offer odds for Lyon and Barcelona to win the title, because there has never been a team in the history of the Champions League that has been four goals behind and can be reversed.

Even so, Inter Milan still did not dare to be careless, and in the 35th round of the league against relegation team Atalanta at the weekend, even if there was hope of winning the title three rounds earlier, the pragmatic Mourinho still let the main players rest and put out a substitute-based lineup.

Gao Xiaodong is the core figure of Inter Milan at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and Mourinho originally hoped that Gao Xiaodong would give up this game, but Gao Xiaodong refused.

Mourinho must be very unhappy, he thinks that Inter Milan is 7 points ahead, and sooner or later will win the championship, it doesn't matter if he wins the cup on the spot, an inconsequential game, Gao Xiaodong has no need to play, in case it affects the away game with Barcelona, then the gain outweighs the loss.

However, Gao Xiaodong had an agreement with Mourinho before transferring to Inter Milan, he wanted to start the whole season, unless he gave up himself, and Mourinho also agreed, so Mourinho could only feel unhappy, but there was no way to forcibly put Gao Xiaodong out of the squad.

Mourinho thought that Gao Xiaodong was too vain and wanted to compete with Milito and Di Natale for the top scorer, but Gao Xiaodong was actually promoted to the professional S level in order to win the championship in advance.

The second place Roma in this round encountered a strong opponent and was challenged by the fourth place Sampdoria, it is not easy for Rome to win Sampdoria, as long as Roma can't win, and Inter Milan beats Atalanta, Inter Milan can win the championship three rounds in advance.

Gao Xiaodong is now lacking a league championship, as long as there is a league championship, Gao Xiaodong can be promoted to the professional S-level, which is between the level between ordinary players and stars, once promoted to the professional S-level, Gao Xiaodong's strength will be greatly improved, and he will be more sure of Barcelona, so even if he consumes a little physical energy, it is definitely worth it for Gao Xiaodong.

Atalanta are currently third from the bottom, just above the relegated Livorno and Siena, and five points less than fourth-from-bottom Bologna, with a glimmer of hope of relegation.

Although Atalanta is a fish belly team, three coaches in a season have not changed the decline, but from the perspective of historical records, Atalanta with similar Inter Milan jerseys is really not afraid of Inter Milan, last season Inter Milan lost 1:3 away to Atalanta, 4:3 at home narrowly, in the dying struggle, maybe can take advantage of Inter Milan distraction to break an upset.

In a game like Atalanta last season, it is estimated that even half of the fans in the stands will not be able to sit, but this season Inter Milan has a brilliant record, swept away decades of decline, and has the potential to win the first treble of Serie A, and this game Inter Milan may win the championship three rounds in advance, in order to be able to witness Inter Milan win the cup on the spot, the stands of the Meazza Stadium are full, and the officials of the Italian Football League also came to the scene with the trophy, once Inter Milan wins the championship in advance, there will be an award ceremony after the game.

Although Mourinho is reluctant to send the main lineup, it is not that he does not want to win, Mourinho also wants to relieve all his worries before the decisive battle with Barcelona, but he does not want to spend too much effort in Atalanta.

Before the start of the game, Mourinho still made serious tactical arrangements, emphasizing not to give the opponent hope, and to crush Atalanta's confidence at the beginning.

Now Mourinho's prestige in the Inter Milan team is unprecedented, and his words in Inter Milan are like a holy decree, even if he is a substitute player, the tactical arrangement of Mourinho will be implemented to the letter, and the combat effectiveness is far from being comparable to a team like Atalanta.

After the opening, in the cheers of more than 60,000 fans in the stadium, the Inter Milan substitutes, who had not been able to get the opportunity to play, under the leadership of Gao Xiaodong, pressed Atalanta in the half and beat it wildly, and the game basically became a half-court attack and defense.

However, football is round, this sentence is not false at all, just when the fans of Inter Milan were waiting to watch Inter Milan abuse Atalanta with their feet crossed, Atalanta actually used a counterattack to take the lead in breaking the door of Inter Milan.

In the 10th minute of the game, Atalanta shot for the first time, Manfredini went straight to the left for a long distance, Tiriboki successfully countered offside, he dribbled into the penalty area, and calmly volleyed into the net with his right foot in front of Cesar from 13 meters in front of the goal, making the score 1-0.

The goal silenced the Meazza Stadium for almost a second.

The on-site commentator Reka was very surprised: "Inter Milan has just bloodbathed Barcelona, will not lose on the relegation team, if Roma loses, Inter Milan also loses, then Mourinho can play big, there are more than 80,000 fans waiting to see Inter Milan win the championship, if you can win on the bench, the fans will not say anything, if the substitute loses, even if it is to prepare for playing Barcelona, the fans will definitely have complaints." ”

Mourinho, who was on the sidelines, remained unchanged and sat firmly in the coach's seat.

Although Atalanta's goal was a bit of a surprise to Mourinho, he still believes in his players, Gao Xiaodong, Pandev, Sneijder are all there, and Stankovic and Muntari in the back are also absolute main players in other Serie A teams, Mourinho does not believe that Atalanta can turn the sky upside down.

After several vicious battles with Chelsea and Barcelona in the Champions League, Inter Milan is no longer as neurotic as before, and in the face of being led by Atalanta, the players are still in the same state of mind, still firmly controlling the ball, and launching wave after wave of impact on the Atalanta penalty area.

In the 13th minute of the game, Bianco fouled Sneijder, and referee Orsato showed the first yellow card.

Gao Xiaodong took a free kick, and he kicked a beautiful fallen leaf over the wall, but it hit the crossbar and bounced out.

There was a sigh at the scene.

In the 20th minute, Bianco brought down Gao Xiaodong again, and Inter Milan won a free kick again.

Gao Xiaodong crossed a free kick into the penalty area from 27 meters in front of the goal, and central defender Materazzi headed it seven meters in front of the goal, but the ball was miraculously saved by Atalanta substitute goalkeeper Coppola.

Once again, the ball was lamented, and they felt that Inter Milan's luck did not seem to be very good today.

In the 24th minute, Inter Milan got the best chance! Inter Milan defended the defense and launched a quick counterattack, Sneijder knocked on the midfield, Gao Xiaodong passed directly, Bianco, who had just received a yellow card, made a mistake in clearing the thigh and gave it to Pandev, Pandev waited for the ball to rebound, and then volleyed with his right foot 23 meters in front of the goal, the ball went over goalkeeper Coppola, but hit the crossbar again.

There was a commotion in the stands, Inter Milan fans were a little uneasy, they felt that today's game was a little strange, in the face of the relegation team, they were stunned that they couldn't score goals, could it be that the 34-game unbeaten golden body was broken in the hands of "copycat Inter" Atalanta?
