After the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Chelsea are 2-1 down away, but the odds to win the title remain unchanged, and most people are still not optimistic about Inter Milan to advance.

After Manchester United swept AC Milan, which has Champions League genes, 7:2 to reach the quarterfinals, there are more fans who are optimistic about Inter Milan.

However, in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Inter Milan swept Stamford Bridge with a shocking five goals, and swept Chelsea 7-1 on aggregate to advance to the quarter-finals.

Now, I don't know how many people have been slapped in the face, and I don't know how many Emperor Knowing Ball has broken his glasses.

After the game, the major bookmakers immediately adjusted the odds of winning the championship, and the defending champion Barcelona was 3 to 1. 15 topped the table, Manchester United rose to second, while Chelsea also soared and are now the third favourites, although the odds are nearly double that of Barcelona, behind Inter Milan and Arsenal and Bayern.

After the game, the English media were stunned by Inter Milan, the Times dubbed the game the "Stamford Bridge tragedy", the Daily Mail believed that Chelsea had suffered a 45-year curse, and the Sun said that the mysterious sorcery from the East ruled the game, and Xiao Donggao was simply the devil.

The Italian media cheered, thanking Inter Milan for saving the dignity of Italian football when they were beaten by Manchester United in Milan, Juventus failed to qualify from the group, and Fiorentina shouted that they were wrongfully eliminated.

"Sometimes, you want to ask why Inter Milan, who have spent a lot of money in various positions, have been losing in the Champions Cup in the last few years. And today, you will be even more surprised at why the most civilian Inter Milan team in many years is so strong, and at this time, you need to see who is sitting in the dugout. ”

"Milan Sport" admires Mourinho very much, while "Roma Sport" calculates the credit to Gao Xiaodong, "This Inter Milan is not necessarily stronger than the Inter Milan last season, the coach is still Mourinho, the opponents are the strongest teams in the Premier League, why are the results very different? I think Gao Xiaodong may be the best answer." ”

Torino Sport was unhappy with both Mourinho and Gao Xiaodong, who attributed Inter's super victory to Carlo Ancelotti's stupidity and Chelsea's bad luck. There is no doubt about the role of Mourinho and Gao Xiaodong in the victory, but it has to be said that luck and Ancelotti were completely eaten and suppressed by Mourinho tactically are more important factors, if Gao Xiaodong did not have a magical performance in the goalkeeper position in the first leg, Inter Milan may have hung up in the first leg, if Chelsea did not have so many chances in the second leg, Inter Milan did not say a 5-goal victory, even a small victory was difficult. ”

In Spain and Germany, Mourinho's Inter Milan is regarded by the media as the biggest enemy of Barcelona and Bayern to win the championship, even more terrible than Manchester United, mainly because Mourinho is better at playing the Champions League knockout rounds than Ferguson.

For the fans and the Inter Milan players, the game is much more than a return to the quarter-finals of the Champions League after four years.

Previously, Inter Milan could not beat a Premier League team in the knockout round for 45 years, and as soon as they played the Champions League knockout round, they were weak and almost had a psychological barrier.

After knocking out Chelsea, Inter Milan threw Anglophobia into the Atlantic, while also gaining confidence, fighting spirit and resilience.

It can be said that after defeating Chelsea, Inter Milan is no longer afraid of any team except Barcelona, and in the next quarterfinals and semifinals, as long as they do not touch Barcelona, Inter Milan is not afraid of anyone.

If it really meets Barcelona in the final, then with Mourinho's on-the-spot command ability, Inter Milan and Barcelona are also five or five.

Of course, regardless of confidence or not, Inter Milan still doesn't want to meet a strong opponent in the top 8, after all, after two games with a strong opponent, even if you are injured and stopped, even if you reach the final, it is estimated that there is no way to play all the main forces.

The draw for the Champions League round of eight matches was close to the end of the round of 16, and at noon the next day, the draw ceremony was held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

The quarter-finals are re-drawn, and the draw is divided into four teams in Zone A and Zone B. Random sampling is adopted, and the same country and the same group do not evade.

The draw will determine the home and away games, the first draw will play at home, and the second draw will play away first, and the final four will be decided by two legs.

The two teams in Zone A and Zone B will then play home and away to eliminate the two teams that will advance to the final.

In this draw, Inter Milan's luck was much better than the draw for the round of 16, but it was not a draw, at most it could be called a winning draw.

In the round of 8, Inter Milan's opponent is CSKA Moscow of the Russian Premier League. The other groups are Lyon vs Bordeaux, Bayern Munich vs Manchester United and Arsenal vs Barcelona.

CSKA Moscow is the last 8 that eliminated Sevilla in La Liga, with one win and one draw over two legs, and a narrow victory over Sevilla by one goal, in the group stage, CSKA Moscow has a draw and a loss to the first Manchester United in the group, obviously they have a certain strength, but this strength is certainly not comparable to Inter Milan, who eliminated Chelsea.

In other words, Inter Milan have drawn a good draw in the quarter-finals, and his hopes of progressing to the semi-finals are very, very high.

But the reason why Inter Milan's signing is not very good is mainly because Inter Milan and Barcelona are divided into a semi-zone, that is to say, after Inter Milan reaches the semi-finals, he is likely to meet the winner of Barcelona and Arsenal.

Obviously, as a representative of artistic football, Barcelona is stronger than Arsenal, and the possibility of promotion is stronger than Arsenal.

Inter Milan's most feared of the eight opponents is Barcelona, and such a draw result greatly increases the difficulty of Inter Milan to advance to the final.

Speaking after the draw, Inter coach Jose Mourinho said: "We have to think about CSKA Moscow now, there is no one to play in the last eight, as I have always said, to win the Champions League you have to beat every team, even the strongest team has to win. Both semi-final matches were like finals, with Inter Milan having to concentrate on how to win, regardless of whether they were against Arsenal or Barcelona. This is the spirit we must have. It was very important to qualify from the round of 16 as Inter Milan showed their personality and quality through those two games. But it will be even more important to show what we are capable of again and to reach the semi-finals. Our previous experience at Barcelona proved the wrong way at the Camp Nou and we have to learn that lesson and we will definitely go there and play them differently next time. ”

Moratti said: 'We didn't want to draw Chelsea and we wanted to play against an easier team, but it wasn't for us and I think Inter can beat anybody now. I'm confident in the team and I think we can win the Champions League this season. ”

After the draw, Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola said, "We don't care who the opponent is, we are the favorites to win the championship, we are the defending champions, only the opponent wants to avoid us, now our goal is to reach the final and complete the defense!"
