Inter Milan beat Barcelona 2-1 away to sweep the defending champions and the Red Devils 6-1 on aggregate to reach the Champions League final.

It was the first time in 38 years that Inter Milan had reached the final of the Champions League.

Although after the end of the first leg, the vast majority of people thought that Inter Milan would definitely enter the final, but Barcelona was so strong that the possibility of a comeback was not impossible, until the end of the second leg, the dust settled, and the media of various countries dared to sing praises for Inter Milan's victory with confidence.

As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, the newspaper "As" gloated over the elimination of Barcelona: "Barcelona fell on the doorstep of the third Champions League final in five years. It could have been their seventh appearance in a Champions League final, but the Catalans failed to put in enough good performances in either game against Inter Milan to beat Jose Mourinho. Messi's magic was completely sealed by Mourinho, and the brightest star of the two games was Gao Xiaodong, who scored three goals and assisted three goals. ”

Marca, another pro-Real Madrid media outlet, said: "Inter Milan did a good job, Jose Mourinho did a good job! Gao Xiaodong decided the game! Now, the Bernabeu will not be desecrated by a century-old enemy, and the Italians and Englishmen will play the final at the Bernabeu." That's football. ”

"Milan Sport" commented: "Mourinho has shackled Messi and handcuffed him, but Gao Xiaodong can play to his heart's content! Inter Milan won the most important victory in 38 years, one of the greatest moments of Serie A, and now Inter Milan can fight for the first treble of Serie A."

"After 38 years, Inter Milan reached the final again, after they had already won the league three rounds ahead of schedule, and it only took two games for them to win the first treble in the history of Serie A, which was an achievement that Inter Milan did not do in the 'big international era', and once they beat Roma in the Coppa Italia and Manchester United in the Champions League final, they will set an unprecedented record, and Mourinho will also become Inter's greatest coach." ”

The British newspaper The Times commented: "The Champions League rookies have finally been reborn under Jose Mourinho, they have become the best team in Europe, against Chelsea and Barcelona, Inter Milan showed a terrifying defensive attack, Sir Alex Ferguson must play with the spirit of 12 points, this season's Inter Milan is not the Inter Milan he beat last season." ”

The headline of the British Daily Mail read: "Jose Mourinho's legion returns in terror, Inter Milan sweeps six-time champions Barcelona 6-1 over two legs!"

Germany's "Bild" commented: "Although Barcelona showed the courage to break through the cauldron in this game and also got the opportunity, they couldn't break through Mourinho's iron bucket formation, and they couldn't prevent Gao Xiaodong's counterattack, and it was not unjust to be eliminated, which makes us regret that the great Messi couldn't score a goal against Mourinho's team 7 times, which may be an important reason why Barcelona was eliminated." ”

So commented on the newspaper "Le Française". 'Pep Guardiola's side won everything last season, but now, Jose Mourinho's side have pulled them back into the world and they are no longer an invincible dream team.

Inter almost gave up attacking and fully contracted their defense, which is the style of Italian football, and they were sent off by one man, but Gao Xiaodong's goal wiped out Barcelona's advantage!"

It is only the mouthpiece of Barça that regrets it.

"Le Monde Sport" questioned Inter's situation: "It's like a bus at the door, and Inter's players are all defending at the back. If the whole world were to play like Jose Mourinho, football would no longer be an important part of the sport that people love. Although eliminated, Barcelona have no time to grieve, we should concentrate on fighting for the defense of the league title, as Guardiola said. We are still in control of our own destiny. Pep Guardiola has to lift his players' spirits, after all, the season is not over yet and we have to win one last title. ”

"The fans of Barcelona did everything they could, they shouted at Barça all over the stadium and caused problems for Inter. Pedro's goal and Motta's penalty allowed Barcelona's dream of a final to last 20 minutes, but in the face of Inter's iron bucket, imagination, flashy technique and exquisite coordination were all out of the question. Pep Guardiola's change of formation and on-the-spot scheduling did not have the effect it should have, and then Gao Xiaodong's goal ended everything. ”

When the European media reported, the credit was mainly due to Mourinho's tactics, and then Gao Xiaodong's personal performance was mentioned, but the reports of the Chinese media put all the credit for Inter Milan's promotion on Gao Xiaodong.

"Football News" said that Gao Xiaodong scored three shots and three passes, and single-handedly led Inter Milan to return to the final after 38 years.

"Sports Weekly" believes that Gao Xiaodong has played a decisive role in the strong dialogue between Inter Milan and Chelsea, Inter Milan and Barcelona, which is exactly the level of the alien Ronaldo, if Inter Milan can beat Manchester United in the final, Gao Xiaodong has every chance to compete for the Ballon d'Or at the age of 20.

Even Huaguo CCTV took time out of the news broadcast to report the news that Gao Xiaodong led Inter Milan to the final, and also gave Gao Xiaodong an evaluation of winning glory for the Chinese people and justifying the name of Chinese football.

Whether it is China or Europe, the media's comments are only a little tendentious, the media who like Gao Xiaodong attribute Inter Milan's promotion to Gao Xiaodong's personal performance, and the media who like Mourinho attribute the victory to Mourinho's tactical victory, while on the Internet, Gao Xiaodong's fans and Mourinho's fans quarreled.

Gao Xiaodong's fans think that advancing to the final is completely Gao Xiaodong's own strength, without Gao Xiaodong, Mourinho couldn't even enter the quarterfinals last season.

Mourinho's fans think that this is Mourinho's tactics to beat Guardiola, Messi is much stronger than Gao Xiaodong in terms of personal ability, why Messi has not played much, the main reason is that Mourinho's tactics locked Messi.

At the beginning, it was still public to say that the public was reasonable, and the mother-in-law said that the mother-in-law was reasonable, and each said their own merits, but in the end it became a mutual black, Gao Xiaodong's fans said that Mourinho hugged Gao Xiaodong's thigh, and Mourinho's fans said that Gao Xiaodong relied on Mourinho's tactical system, and the two sides attacked each other, almost becoming enemies.

Gao Xiaodong naturally doesn't care who is the biggest contributor to the team's victory, but Xiao Le is also often on the Internet, seeing that the fans on both sides are attacking each other, Xiao Le is worried about causing Mourinho's misunderstanding, so he wants to post an explanation on Gao Xiaodong's Weibo and Twitter, hoping that the fans on both sides will calm down, but Gao Xiaodong thinks that this is just fans entertaining themselves, and posting an explanation will only cause Mourinho's misunderstanding, so it is better to ignore it, so that Gao Xiaodong's fame and influence on the Internet are becoming bigger and bigger, and he has the potential to catch up with Messi and Ronaldo.
