Chapter 1241: Last Chance

When the final whistle blew, Real Madrid beat AC Milan 3-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu to advance to the final. Asensio was undoubtedly the best player on the pitch, scoring two goals and providing an assist once, and was the team's number one contributor to the title.

It's hard to say if this is a step back for AC Milan who have reached the final four times in the last six years, winning the title three times, and the worst result is also the last four. In recent years, apart from Real Madrid, no one has been able to compare with Milan's Champions League results. Perhaps, as the outside world said: "Whether it is Real Madrid or Milan, they have unparalleled Champions League DNA!"

Milan's Champions League journey this season is over, Real Madrid and Bayern will meet in the final, whether Asensio can lead Real Madrid to win the championship and usher in the "post-Ronaldo era" is the biggest attraction. Whether Bayern can clink cups for the sixth time in history is also of great concern, but all this has nothing to do with Milan and Zhang Shujie.

Zhang Shujie can only recover from injuries now, during which his teammates such as Inzaghi, Chen Zihua, Yan Tao, Xu Ziyi, and Andre Silva have visited him. Inzaghi told him to take care of his injuries and not to worry about everything.

Zhang Shujie said that he was not worried, but in fact, he was still a little anxious, he knew how important he was to the team, and he also saw that after the team did not have him, Milan had lost the Champions League and could not lose the league championship again.

In the 36th round, AC Milan won all three points at home, and Juventus also won this round, and the two teams continued to bite the table in the standings. Then the Italian Cup final began, AC Milan was led by one goal, but Napoli scored two goals in a row, lost 1:2 to the opponent, and missed the cup championship. AC Milan have lost two titles in a row in the space of a week, and if they can't keep the league title in the end, they will have nothing to do this season.

In the 37th round, AC Milan failed to win away and only got a draw. Juventus, who had postponed their game for a day, cheered when they learned of the result, and their opponent in this round was Udinese, the "Juventus II team" was only in 10th place in the league, and it would not be difficult for Juventus to beat them.

However, unexpectedly, Juventus was forced to draw by their opponents on their own turf, and the score was still an astonishing 3:3, so Juventus and AC Milan are still two points apart in the standings. "Milan Sport" quipped: "Did Juventus want to give up the league title after seeing AC Milan lose two titles in a row?"

Torino Sport said: "I can't understand what's going on, don't Juventus want the title anymore? ”

However, Serie A is not over yet, there is still the final round, this round will also be the battle to determine the championship, Juventus and AC Milan can not be careless, Zhang Shujie also gave his teammates encouragement on his Twitter alone, hoping that they must win Juventus and win this championship.

The match was held at the San Siro Stadium, and although Zhang Shujie was lost, there were still more media outlets optimistic about the Rossoneri because Milan were playing at home. Before the game between the two sides started, the fans fought in the stands, and if it weren't for the isolation of neutral fans on both sides, it is estimated that the two sides would fight in the stands again.

After the start of the game, AC Milan took the lead, Chen Zihua almost scored his 11th league goal of the season, but the crossbar frustrated his wishes, and three minutes later, Dybala returned the ball, the ball went over Donnarumma, and was cleared by Yan Tao on the goal line.

In the first half, both sides attacked and defended each other, but neither found the back of the net, and from the perspective of the field, AC Milan had more time on the ball, and Juventus shot more threateningly. In the second half, AC Milan relied on a corner kick opportunity, which was scored by Cutrone in front of the goal, and the score was rewritten to 1:0!

In this championship battle, AC Milan finally took the initiative and was one step faster than Juventus on the road to winning the championship. But just six minutes into the second half, Juventus still had plenty of chances to equalise or even overtake.

Just four minutes after Cutrone's goal, Andre Silva had a chance to double the scoreline, but his late shot slid out of the net in a strange way. Although the goal was not scored, it shocked the Juventus players and fans, and the commentator said: "If Silva scores, it will be devastating for Juventus." But the ball eventually slipped off the line, and Juventus still had hope. ”

Hope soon arose, Dybala was awarded a free-kick in front of the goal, which was directly facing the goal, about 25 meters away from the goal, and Zhao Wenkang was already standing in front of the ball.

When he was in the national team, Zhao Wenkang generally couldn't take such a free kick, which either belonged to Zhang Shujie or Li Mu, unless the two were not there, maybe he could get the right to punish. However, in the club, Zhao Wenkang can often take such a penalty.

AC Milan stood on the human wall, Zhao Wenkang got the referee's whistle, directly kicked the goal, the ball bypassed the jumping wall, flew to the penalty area, Donnarumma flew to save, but Zhao Wenkang's free kick angle was very awkward, Donnarum Po did not touch the ball, and the ball flew into the goal of AC Milan. 1:1!

Juventus finally equalised, and it was also Zhao Wenkang's third goal of the season, which is a bit less than in the past. But let's not forget that he's 33 years old, and as a midfielder, it's not easy to score three goals in the league.

Curiously, AC Milan seemed to be a little overwhelmed after being scored by Juventus, and in fact they were still champions even after a draw, but they don't know why they are now so porous in defence. On the contrary, Juventus are getting more and more courageous, and the attack is more and more threatening every time, and if this continues, AC Milan's goal will be penetrated a second time sooner or later.

Yan Tao and Chen Zihua loudly scolded their teammates not to mess up, maintain a good formation, and strive to counterattack. However, under the onslaught of Juventus, AC Milan seemed to be tired of defense, even if the ball reached the feet of the twins, the striker could not receive the ball, which was undoubtedly fatal for AC Milan.

Luckily, Juventus were unable to score a second goal either, and with the 80th minute played, Inzaghi was in a bucket formation and he was bound to hold on for the point. As a manager, at this juncture he doesn't care about the draw at home, he only cares about the championship.

Juventus are still on the offensive and this is their last chance for both sides!
