After that, AC Milan went unchecked, and after only two-thirds of the season, AC Milan were at the top of the Serie A table. They are eight points ahead of second-placed Juventus, who have 12 games to go, but with AC Milan in form, it will be even more difficult for Juventus to overtake them.

Zhang played 25 of those 26 games, scored 33 goals and had 10 assists, ranking second in the scorers list and second in assists. In the Champions League, AC Milan have also been on a high stride, first meeting last season's final opponents Paris Saint-Germain in the round of 16, and the Brazilian media thought it would be Neymar's revenge. It's a pity that the Brazilian king was "arranged" by Zhang Shujie again this time.

In the first leg of AC Milan's away game, Neymar took the lead in scoring a goal for Grand Paris, and the score of 1:0 was maintained until the 60th minute of the second half, Zhang Shujie equalized the score for AC Milan with a powerful header;

It was also the final score of the game, and Milan, who won away from home, undoubtedly took the lead in the second leg. In the second leg, Paris Saint-Germain made a desperate and all-out attack, AC Milan lost control of the field at one point, and was almost broken by Neymar and Mbappe, but in the 27th minute, when Zhang Shujie used a counter-attack to score for AC Milan, the game entered the rhythm of the Rossoneri, and Conte scored the decisive goal in the 67th minute.

AC Milan eliminated Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 on aggregate over two legs to advance to the quarter-finals, while Neymar once again stopped in the last 16 of the Champions League. Brazilian ace Pele made it clear: "The gap between Neymar and Zhang Shujie is getting bigger and bigger, if he wants to get close to Zhang Shujie, the Golden Ball Award and the World Cup are indispensable." I think it's best for Neymar to leave Paris, Real Madrid and Manchester City are good options. ”

Neymar also has this idea in his heart, he is twenty-seven years old, Zhang Shujie is already a three-time Ballon d'Or winner, two World Footballer of the Year, and three European best players at this age, while Neymar has nothing.

AC Milan met Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and Barcelona have been in a bit of trouble this season, finishing third in the league, five points behind Real Madrid and four behind Atletico Madrid, and they can't afford to relax if they want to win the league title. In the Champions League, they met AC Milan too early, and manager Ernesto Valverde himself admitted: "It's an early arrival in the final. ”

Valverde is not a mouthful, in the first round of the game, AC Milan was a guest at the Camp Nou, the two teams played a wonderful offensive battle, in the first 30 minutes alone, the two teams accumulated ten shots on goal, each side had five, amazingly, these ten shots all hit the range of the goal frame, and what is even more amazing is that these ten shots, both goalkeepers all saved.

The commentators all sighed: "In these 30 minutes of game time, both sides played at the level of the final, judging from the current situation, no matter who wins or loses, it is a very normal thing." ”

The first half ended in a confrontation between the two sides, with a total of seventeen shots on goal for both teams, nine for Barcelona and eight for AC Milan. In the second half, these two teams were still dominated by attack, and the fans were addicted to watching, and it would be a shame if there were no goals in such a game.

However, Zhang Shujie, the biggest star in football today, would not allow such a thing to happen, and at the 59th minute, he pierced Ter Stegen's ten fingers with a very beautiful volley to give AC Milan a 1-0 lead at Barcelona.

However, AC Milan did not have a long lead, and just five minutes later, Barcelona's Lionel Messi knocked on the goal of Donnarumma with his new Peugeot, and the two teams were back on the same page. After another five minutes, Suarez fired a follow-up shot from inside the box to put Barcelona in the lead.

Barcelona still led the visiting AC Milan on their home turf after all, and considering that this is Barcelona's home stadium, many people believe that a Barcelona victory in this game is not a problem. Coupled with the double round-robin system of the Champions League knockout roundout, if AC Milan can really bring the score of 1:2 to the San Siro stadium, then Milan actually has the advantage.

Barcelona will be hoping to extend the scoreline, scoring at least one more goal without conceding a goal, and AC Milan will have more confidence when they arrive at the road, while AC Milan have also put on a defensive formation to lure Barcelona into attacking.

In the 81st minute of the game, AC Milan played their best counterattack, Zhang Shujie forced an overtake from the outside on the right side, single-handedly smashed into the Barcelona penalty area, clipped Ter Stegen with his left foot, and pushed the ball into the empty goal with his right foot.

The Milan fans who came with the team were boiling, and they chanted Zhang Shujie's name, and as long as the individual knows how crucial this goal is. If AC Milan can keep this draw until full-time, then back at the San Siro, even if Milan can't win, as long as it is not a draw above the score of 2:2, it will be Milan who will advance in the end.

2:2 was the final score of the game. Speaking after the game, Valverde said: "It was a tough game, we couldn't win at home and we gave AC Milan two away goals, Zhang Shujie did a great job and Milan scored both goals from him. I know it's difficult to beat Milan at the San Siro but that doesn't mean we can't beat them, Barcelona are the best team in the world like AC Milan. ”

Barcelona were in unprecedented trouble at the San Siro in the second leg, and their passing did not come in handy, with AC Milan frequently blocking Barca's passes with high pressing. Inzaghi knows very well that this style of play is very physically exertional, so Inzaghi hopes that the team can score at least one goal in the first half, so in the second half, he can change his tactics to make the players less physically exerted.

The Milan generals did not disappoint Inzaghi, Yan Tao, who assisted to the front, made a strong shot on the penalty line, although Ter Stegen saved the goal, but Yan Tao's shot was too powerful, Ter Stegen failed to save the ball, the ball hit his hand, fell into the goal, the score was 1:0, AC Milan led at home!
