Chapter 682: Disheartened
On April 15, the Champions League took the lead in two games, Juventus beat Monaco 1-0 at home, and Huang Yu assisted Vidal to score the only goal of the game. Although the Bianconeri won, the score is not very safe in the double round-robin knockout stage of the Champions League, and the second leg will be a test for them in a few days.
In the match between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, which was also held on this day, Atletico Madrid was held to a 0-0 draw at home by Real Madrid. Both teams had a lot of chances, but they didn't take them, so that both teams were a little unhappy with the scoreline. But the ending has been decided, and if you want to win the victory, you can only come back in the second round.
On April 16, Porto vs Bayern and Barcelona vs Chelsea started these two games, the first was Barcelona vs Chelsea, Messi and Neymar took the lead for Barcelona successively, but Chelsea's number one star Li Mu scored with two powerful left feet to make the score 2It was also the final score of the game, Barcelona failed to win at home, but Chelsea got two valuable away goals, which took Li Mu's Champions League tally to ten, and he was the top scorer.
Zhang Shujie failed to start the match between Bayern and Porto, but Bayern got off to a dream start, with Thiago giving Bayern the lead just three minutes into the game, but then the score changed, with Quaresma scoring twice in the 28th and 33rd minutes to end the first half with a score of 2:1. In the second half, Bayern stepped up their attack, but it didn't work, but it allowed Porto striker Jackson Martinez to score another goal on the counter-attack, and Porto led 3-1.
Guardiola was a little anxious, although he knew that Porto was not easy to deal with, but he never imagined that he would let the opponent score three goals in 60 minutes, but fortunately Guardiola still had cards in his hand, and he replaced Zhang Shujie in the 64th minute.
Zhang Shujie, who held back most of the half, rushed fiercely on the field, three shots in 10 minutes, all of which were slightly off, in the 78th minute, after receiving a cross from Lahm, he hit a long-range header on the line of the big penalty area, turning the score into 2:3; seven minutes later, after he shook two defenders on the left side in a row, he assisted Robben to equalize the score.
3:3 was also the final result of the game, and Zhang Shujie, who came off the bench to contribute a pass and a shot, performed well and hit back at those who thought he was no longer worthy of the starting lineup. However, in the 29th round of the league against Hoffenheim, Zhang Shujie did not return to the starting lineup, and he was still waiting on the bench.
The opponent of this game is insignificant, but it has to be another matter for Bayern's entire schedule, Bayern Munich is currently 16 points ahead of second-place Wolfsburg, as long as this game can win the opponent, then Bayern can win the league title five rounds in advance, but in such a key game, Zhang Shujie got the opportunity to start.
He was a little disheartened, since the beginning of the season, to the season, he has been the main force of the team from Parma to Juventus and then to Bayern Munich, and in any key game, unless he is suspended, he will definitely start, but today, under Pep Guardiola, Zhang Shujie was put on the shelf in the first key game of his career.
Bayern defeated Hoffenheim 2-0, Zhang Shujie came off the bench for thirteen minutes, no goals, no assists, no passes, no threatening passes, this data was ridiculed by some people as "four nos", Chen Hui defended Zhang Shujie: "He only played thirteen minutes, in this time, what do you want him to do is the best? hat trick? or senior happiness?"
After Bayern won the 29th round of the Bundesliga, it also means that this season's Bundesliga title has been won by Bayern in advance. In the past three years, Bayern has always pulled their rivals far away in the league, and it is no exaggeration to say that Bayern has no opponents in the Bundesliga, and the conquest of the whole land has made them have no sense of achievement, and their eyes are on Europe and the Champions League.
On April 22, Bayern hosted Porto, and in the first leg, Bayern drew 3-3 away from Porto, and the three away goals were particularly crucial.
Zhang Shujie is still sitting on the bench, but this has not affected Bayern's overall attacking power, as a German team, it has always valued the whole. In this game, Bayern bloodied Porto 6:1 and advanced to the semi-finals. Robert Lewandowski scored twice, while Thiago, Boateng, Muller and Alonso scored one each. Zhang Shujie came on as a substitute for 16 minutes and had two shots on goal without scoring.
In other Champions League games, Atletico Madrid lost 0:1 to Real Madrid, Ronaldo assisted Hernandez to score a stunner, Atletico Madrid was eliminated by Real Madrid in the Champions League for the second year in a row, Tang Ling also ended this season's Champions League journey; Juventus drew 0:0 away from Monaco and successfully advanced to the semi-finals; the most classic battle is the match between Chelsea and Barcelona, the last round of Li Mu in the away two consecutive slashes let Chelsea get a point, after returning to the home field, first Li Mu ran 40 meters with the ball on the left side, and shook Rakitic, Butzques, Mascherano and Gerard Pique slotted the ball into the corner to give Chelsea a 1-0 lead at home and a 3-2 aggregate lead, followed by Li Mu setting up Xu Ziyi's goal to help his Chinese team-mate score a fourth Champions League goal, and finally, Li Mu provided another assist, this time for Eden Hazard. Although Neymar and Lionel Messi also scored for Barcelona, when the final whistle blew, Chelsea won 3-2 at home to the mighty Barcelona and knocked Barcelona out 5-4 on aggregate.
In the two rounds, Li Mu scored three of them, and the other two goals also came from his assists. Chelsea's new No.10 has scored eleven goals in nine Champions League appearances, followed by Messi and Neymar's ten, and then Ronaldo's nine, because Barcelona has been out, in the Champions League top scorer competition, only Ronaldo is qualified to compete with him, and even Zhang Shujie can't compete with him for the Champions League Golden Boot this season.
At the same time, this goal against Barcelona is also the 50th goal scored by Li Mu for Chelsea in all competitions this season! 34 goals in the league, 11 goals in the Champions League, and 5 goals in the domestic cup, Li Mu's form is so hot that breaking through the 60 mark is just around the corner!
The British media even proposed: "If Li Mu can maintain such a goal efficiency and lead Chelsea to win the league and the Champions League, then he will be qualified enough to compete for the Ballon d'Or this year!
