Chapter 1252: Semi-finals

With this victory, AC Milan got the three points they wanted and extended the gap to Juventus in the table to seven points. With five league games remaining, AC Milan are almost certain to win the league title this season.

Torino Sport said: "Juventus have missed their best chance to stop Milan, with a seven-point gap and it is impossible to expect Milan to make mistakes and lose three games in a row in the next five games." This is the end of the 2022/2023 Serie A title race, and I bet the final title will definitely belong to AC Milan. ”

"Milan Sport" said: "AC Milan do have a bigger advantage on the road to the title, and they have a good chance of winning the league title this season." However, AC Milan can't be careless, remember Lazio in 1999/2000? Yes, Lazio's last seven consecutive wins saw them win the tournament, so Milan need to keep a normal heart. ”

Milan coach Inzaghi also said: "Until the championship is confirmed, we can only say that we are the favourites, and only after the championship is in hand, Milan can say 'we are the champions'. ”

Due to the huge points advantage, and at the same time Inzaghi has to deal with the Champions League, in the next five games, the "Nine Masters" can rest at home in at least three games, and Milan's opponents in these three games are not strong, and it should be no problem to win. Even if he loses one of them, Inzaghi is acceptable.

In the 34th round, AC Milan defeated Cagliari 1-0 with half main and half substitutes to consolidate their advantage in the standings. After this round, AC Milan will return to the Champions League to face Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

In recent years, AC Milan has met Bayern in the knockout rounds of the Champions League three times, winning each time, and for the fourth time this year, Bayern also said that they must take revenge, and AC Milan also said that they must defend their honor.

In the first leg, AC Milan played at home, and Bayern Munich also knew the horror of the San Siro stadium, so they did not focus on attacking, while Milan played a pass and controlled the defense and compressed the defense into the opponent's half.

Overall, AC Milan is still stronger than Bayern. Especially after Xu Zhixin left Bayern, Bayern's strength was further weakened. "Milan Sport" said: "Although Bayern Munich dominates the Bundesliga, the level of the Bundesliga is not as good as before, they can't meet opponents in the league, which also makes it difficult for them to improve, and when they arrive in Europe, when they meet the top giants, their weaknesses are exposed." ”

"Milan Sport" is right, Bayern has indeed received very few tests, which is too far behind Real Madrid, Barcelona and Milan Juventus. In the first leg of the semi-finals with AC Milan, it seems to confirm the view of "Milan Sports Newspaper", in the 21st minute of the first half, AC Milan's second shot of the game broke through Bayern's goal, and the goal was Calhanoglu, which was the first Champions League goal scored by the Turkish star this season, and it has to be said that it came very crucially.

Bayern, who are behind away, are actually not in a hurry, after all, this is away from home. Taking a step back, even if they do lose 0-1, they can accept it, and as long as the difference is not too big, they will still have an advantage in the second leg at the Allianz Arena.

However, it was only when Andre Silva made it 2-0 before half-time that they started to rush a bit, so they started to attack in the second half, but they couldn't knock on the door of Donnarumma. In fact, Donnarumma's performance can only be said to be average, but Yan Tao and Romagnoli's performance is very good, defusing most of Bayern's attack.

In the 74th minute, Zhang Shujie was tripped by Boateng in the penalty area, the referee decisively blew a penalty and gave Boateng a yellow card, Zhang Shujie's penalty kick was saved by Neuer, Casey stepped forward to shoot into the net, and the score became 3:0.

AC Milan will win without a problem, and now the key will depend on whether Bayern can score, if they can score one or even two goals, then AC Milan may have some trouble in the second leg.

Unfortunately, Bayern were unable to score at the San Siro until the end of the game, so that AC Milan could go to the Allianz Arena with a score of 3-0. After this game, AC Milan has the initiative to advance, but Bayern Munich is not completely out of chance. If they are on fire at home, it is possible to score three or even four goals without conceding a goal. Although Milan's overall strength will be stronger, it is not strong enough to crush Bayern.

In the other semi-final, Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid, which was a local derby in Madrid, and in the end, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 2:0 away, and had a slight advantage on the way to the final.

Back to the league, AC Milan's opponent in the 35th round is Udinese, and it is an away game, Inzaghi has a semi-main and semi-substitute lineup, like Zhang Shujie, Chen Zihua, Yan Tao are all resting at home, and only Xu Ziyi appears in the four core figures. As a result, AC Milan drew 2:2 away from home, and in the match between Juventus and Inter Milan on the same day, Juventus defeated the Nerazzurri 2:1 with Dybala's countdown, and the gap with AC Milan was reduced to five points.

But in the eyes of the Italian media, these five points do not mean anything. With three rounds of the league to go, AC Milan only need two more wins to win the title early. Against Udinese, AC Milan did not give up their main squad, but they did pick up a point away from home. In the next three games, Milan still have a greater margin for error than Juventus. In short, if Juventus really want to win the league title this season, unless a miracle happens, there is no hope at all.

In midweek, the second leg of the semi-finals kicked off with AC Milan visiting the Allianz Arena to take on Bayern Munich. Since Milan was already 3:0 in hand, Inzaghi guessed that Bayern would definitely take the initiative to attack in this game, so Inzaghi decided to play a defensive counterattack.

Bayern Munich must attack, although they also know that doing so will definitely leave a lot of space in the backfield, which will create too many opportunities for the Milan forward line led by Zhang Shujie, but Bayern has no other choice, they must attack, and they will attack with all their might.

AC Milan also did a very good job in defense, Bayern Munich's offensive climax in the first 20 minutes was very hot, and AC Milan's defense was also very busy, and the counterattack could not be played. However, Bayern did not score either, and the home fans were a little anxious.
