In the Champions League quarter-finals, AC Milan will face Juventus in the same league, and the two teams have met twice in the league this season, each winning and losing, and the Champions League has completely different meanings. In the league, if the two teams lose points against each other, it is possible to get it back against other opponents, but not in the Champions League, and the two-legged contest will determine who can enter the final four.

Speaking at his pre-match press conference, Allegri said: "It's really interesting to have just played AC Milan in the league and now you're playing against AC Milan in the Champions League. If we can beat them in the league, I'm sure we can do the same in the Champions League. ”

Inzaghi said: "Some things are always dramatic because we met Juventus again, in the last league we didn't beat Juventus in the last few league games, but this Champions League is different, it's a decisive game, we have to win, our goal is not just to win the league but to get it back!"

Both managers have made bold statements, and both want to win the opponent. However, in the first leg of the meeting between the two teams, AC Milan and Juventus played out 0-0 in 90 minutes, and it is difficult to say which of the two sides is more favourable. If it is a score of 1:1 and 2:2, then Juventus may be more advantageous to play away, after all, there are away goals in hand, but now that the two sides have played a blank sheet, it may not be the same.

Allegri is also struggling with this problem, as Allegri is not sure that he will continue to keep a clean sheet against Milan in the second leg, despite the fact that the venue will be moved to the new Alp Stadium. In fact, Zhang Shujie had a shot in this game that almost penetrated Juventus' city, when Buffon had already raised his hand to surrender, fortunately Chiellini cleared the ball with a header on the goal line, otherwise Juventus would not only lose at home, but also be scored away by AC Milan.

Of course, it is more realistic that AC Milan now have the ability to explode in adversity, and if the tone is not set in the first leg, then the second leg is likely to crush the opponent, as in the last 16 against Atletico Madrid, and the data in recent years can also show.

After a round of Serie A, Milan and Juventus both ushered in the second round of the matchup with league victories. AC Milan will inevitably face a lot of difficulties when they play away from home, and Juventus will not dare to give AC Milan any chance, and once they have lost the goal, they will need to score at least two goals to ensure progress.

The game was a close game and both sides were careful. Inzaghi specifically told Rodriguez on the left not to go up if he couldn't come back after running up. It is not difficult to see that Inzaghi has given up attacking on the left side, and it is also necessary to ensure that the left side is not used by the opponent. In this way, AC Milan's attack fell to the middle and the right.

In the 38th minute of the first half, Zhang Shujie received Xu Ziyi's oblique plug, and seeing that he had no chance to hit the goal, he picked Andre Silva, Silva's header was saved by Buffon, and Chen Zihua, who was inserted in the back, volleyed with his left foot, rewriting the score to 1:0.

AC Milan not only led the scoreline, but also scored an away goal. Juventus are in a difficult situation, they need to score at least two goals, and if they continue to concede, it will undoubtedly be disastrous for them.

The score of the first half ended with AC Milan leading 1-0, and in the second half, Juventus intensified their attack, and they found that the left side of AC Milan could no longer play smoothly, Rodriguez rarely pressed through the half, basically holding the left side, and the space left for Juventus behind him was also small, making it impossible for opponents to take advantage of. And AC Milan is not in a hurry to attack now, anyway, it is now leading away, according to the rules of the Champions League, this 1:0 against AC Milan is simply a two-goal advantage.

But something even worse happened for Juventus, as they were pressed too high in formation, with plenty of space at the back and AC Milan's leading striker being fast. The Rossoneri seized a chance to counterattack, and Zhang Shujie scored the ball seven meters in front of the goal, and the score became 2:0!

Such a scoreline would have been devastating for Juventus, who needed to score at least three goals with about 35 minutes to go, and maybe more, because no one knew they would not concede again.

The commentator at the scene sighed and said: "Judging from this scoreline, Milan's two away goals give them a huge advantage, and Allegri now has two options, either continue to fight Milan, or give up the Champions League and specialize in the league." ”

Allegri stood on the sidelines with an embarrassed face, and his heart was a little turbulent. They are four points clear of AC Milan in the league and theoretically have a chance of winning the title. With more than half an hour to complete their comeback in the Champions League, Allegri will have to take a closer look to see which one has a better chance of success. Or, he grabs on both sides and doesn't give up.

He looked at Inzaghi, the Milan boss who was now sitting very calmly in the dugout. Allegos thought about it for a while, but decided to fight AC Milan to the end. So, he used two substitutions at once, Piatsa and Mandzukic, and Barzagli and Khedira.

However, this substitution did not bring obvious results to Juventus, Mandzukic's height could not resist the strong Yan Tao, although he could sometimes grab points in the penalty area, but could not form a threatening attack, and both headers were high. As for Piazza, it was Bonucci who ate to death, as well as Higuain, Dybala and other stars, and they didn't get particularly good opportunities. Juventus' entire attacking group seems to be lost in the AC Milan backline.

When the game reached the 73rd minute, Xu Ziyi successfully broke the ball in the backfield, AC Milan immediately launched a counterattack, and then Zhang Shujie shot a long shot outside the penalty area to break Juventus's goal, and the score became 3:0!

The on-site commentator sighed again: "There is no chance, Juventus can't have another chance, Zhang Shujie's goal completely killed the game." Juventus will have to wait until next season if they want to achieve more in the Champions League. ”

The rest of the game was all garbage time, and after three minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, and AC Milan beat Juventus 3-0 at the New Alp Stadium thanks to a goal from Chen Zihua and a brace from Zhang Shujie to advance to the semi-finals. The other three teams that qualified were Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.
