Inter Milan's big win away at Napoli to secure their 27th league game was not unexpected.

In this round of the league, Roma, Juventus and AC Milan have also won one after another.

All eyes were then on the upcoming midweek fixture, when AC Milan played the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Premier League giants Arsenal at home at the San Siro. The match was postponed for a week because the previous match between Inter Milan and Liverpool was also at home.

The Italians are hoping that AC Milan can get past Arsenal and meet Inter Milan and Roma in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Some football celebrities and public opinion have expressed their optimism about AC Milan, Lippi and others have stated that Milan has the DNA of the Champions League and they will be successfully promoted.

As for Arsenal, French coach Arsene Wenger is full of confidence in the team's promotion.

In the first game, Bam Adebayo missed the goal and "released" Milan at home, but Wenger appeared to be full of confidence, and through the first leg, he seemed to have touched the bottom of AC Milan. "We completely dominated the fight in the first leg and that gave us a lot of confidence. ”

Perhaps too confident after arriving in Milan, Arsene Wenger unexpectedly dragged Inter down when he spoke to the media: "We won 5-1 at the San Siro [Inter] and it was a psychological boost, we were in a desperate situation and we had to play big and we did it. This time, once again, our spirits were highly focused and full of confidence. In November 2003, Arsenal swept Inter 5-1 away, and Thierry Henry scored two goals.

"In this stadium we have a lot of confidence. Whether it's Inter Milan or AC Milan, we are confident that we can win against them!"

Arsene Wenger's words caused dissatisfaction among the Italian reporters at the scene, and the reporter of "Milan Sports Newspaper" immediately shot back and said, "Leon's Inter Milan?"

Although the relationship between Li Ang and the Italian media is not good, but in the face of 'foreign enemies', Li Ang's Inter Milan is very strong, at this time, the reporter is proud of Li Ang.

'I haven't played against them yet, but if we can get past AC Milan, maybe we'll meet Inter Milan...... Wenger said.

Subsequently, the reporter of the good thing immediately approached Leon and conveyed Wenger's words.

The Inter Milan manager's reply was even more domineering, "We don't choose opponents, we just have to be ourselves!"

Although he didn't directly face Wenger, but Leon kept this matter in mind, he has never been a magnanimous person, you Wenger and AC Milan match, what are you doing with our Inter Milan?!?!

***********

AC Milan and Arsenal in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Li Ang called the whole team to watch the game at the San Siro Stadium, the Champions League has entered the quarterfinals, although the draw for the quarterfinals has not yet been carried out, but, it is undeniable that Li Ang's Inter Milan still has a certain chance of meeting Arsene Wenger's Arsenal, and can watch the game on the spot, so it is good to prepare in advance.

At the end of the ninety-minute game, on the electronic scoreboard at the San Siro Stadium, AC Milan 0-2 Arsenal!

Arsenal left with a 2-0 result. In the technical statistics, Milan still had one more shot than the Gunners, and the home team also had the advantage in corner kicks, but this does not actually reflect the actual situation on the field, if you compare the chances created, Arsenal may really repeat the 5-1 of the year.

Cesc Fabregas's long-range strike was not an absolute chance, but in Leon's view, AC Milan's defeat was inevitable because Arsenal had too many chances to break the deadlock. In the 28th minute, Adebayo's shot was lifted off the crossbar by Karachi and blown to the horn of the Gunners' counterattack; in the 34th minute, Xiaofa's powerful shot hit the crossbar; in the 47th minute, Senderos blocked the shot in front of the small penalty line, and was unlucky to kick it into the goalkeeper's arms; in the 51st minute, Pirlo made a mistake, Adebayo split the ball, and Eboue's one-on-one shot hit the side netting; in the 74th minute, Walcott entered the gap on the right, but chose to cross instead of shoot directly in a one-on-one situation...... In contrast, AC Milan had few chances and mostly came from set-pieces, and they were completely passive in the athletic battle.

The 14-13 shot statistics of both sides conceal the truth of the comparison of chances, AC Milan's shots are mostly hasty kicks and long-range shots after tearing apart the defense, while Arsenal has many more chances to play with passes, with three one-on-one chances. The British news agency headlined after the game: "Milan's era ended by Arsenal".

In possession, running, physical confrontation and one-on-one fighting, Arsenal have the overall upper hand, youth has become their biggest magic weapon at this moment, in most cases, I am faster than you, explosive than you, physical advantage, physical confrontation has the upper hand, and the technical play is naturally more incisive. The Milanese were led by the nose most of the time and it was no surprise that they were dragged down in the second half.

***********

After two 90 minutes, whether at home or away, Arsenal did comprehensively suppress AC Milan, pressing the former European champions for 180 minutes, and the Gunners showed an advantage in the content and strength of the game, in fact, far more than the "appearance" of 2-0 on aggregate.

Compared with the 5-1 draw that year, Arsenal's "fly in the ointment" was the grasp of opportunities. In the 2003 game with Inter Milan, the Gunners' field advantage was actually not large, and the opponent was deadlocked in the first half, and the counterattack was sharp after the lead in the second half. If today's Ebu and others were more calm in the face of the opportunity, it would not be impossible to repeat the great victory of the year.

However, from the overall ability of the team, Wenger has reason to feel more happy, he looked very proud after the game, in Wenger's view, compared with the year, the current Arsenal is less of a superstar like Henry, but around Fabregas to establish a complete set of offensive system, relying on a foot pass to establish an advantage, Dragging down and disintegrating the opponent, if the 5-1 of the year was more a reflection of the personal ability of Henry and others, today's 2-0 is an overall condescending victory, or even a higher level.

"Arsenal are strong now, we have nothing to fear!" Arsene Wenger said strongly in his post-match press conference, which was also seen by the Italian media as Wenger's tough response to Leon's tough statement.

The 'kind' reporter approached Leon again and asked him what he thought of Arsene Wenger's words.

'There's nothing wrong with that, of course the manager has confidence in his team, as if I always had confidence in my players. Leon said.

Subsequently, Leon did not forget to sarcastically mock his old rival AC Milan, "I reminded them, be careful of Arsenal, be careful of Adebayo, they don't listen to ......" He shrugged his shoulders with a look of regret.

In front of the TV, AC Milan fans saw this scene and hated it.

"I'd like to see if Inter Milan meet Arsenal, you still have this good mood......," the AC Milan fan said indignantly after leaving a message on Leon's personal website.

"Come, come, who's afraid of whom. We'll get your revenge!" replied to the Inter Milan fans, much like their manager's voice.

On the second day after the competition, the draw for the quarterfinals and semifinals of the UEFA Champions League was held in Nyon, Switzerland.

The guest of the draw, former AC Milan star George Weah first drew the name of Inter Milan, and then, he took out a sign from another lottery, he opened it and glanced at the name on it, with a strange smile on his face, and showed the signing paper to everyone:

"Arsenal!"

There was a burst of exclamations at first, and then many people laughed.
