Chapter 979 Shocking the World Again!
Wednesday, April 4th.
Stadio Leganés Bloc in the southern suburbs of Madrid.
When the referee blew the whistle, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, which attracted worldwide attention, was witnessed by 12,000 fans at the scene.
At the moment of the whistle, the entire Brock Stadium was completely transformed into a sea of celebration for the fans.
All the home fans danced and celebrated in the stands.
A tidal wave of cheers swept through the entire Block Stadium, completely drowning everything inside the stadium.
The big red scoreboard showed the final result of the game, 1-0, and the overall score was 3-2.
In international practice, the home team is in front and the away team is in the back.
All the Chinatown players collapsed in the stadium again, they had all done their best in the 90 minutes of the game that had just ended, and they all played 200% of their strength, and now they were exhausted.
The comparison of possession rate of 28 to 72 and the comparison of shots on goal of 4 to 18 all show the disparity in strength between the two teams, but China City tore apart Barcelona's defense with a counterattack in the 57th minute of the second half.
Herrera's pinpoint through ball penetrated the Barcelona defence, and Aubameyang's pace was on full display in an instant, leaving Adriano completely behind.
A single knife, a broken door, everything happened naturally.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang seized the most important opportunity of the game and calmly slotted the ball into Valdés' goal.
It was the only goal of the game.
But it was Chinatown's main goalkeeper, David De Gea, who was voted the best player of the match.
The young Spain international blocked Barcelona shots again and again, and he was like a god, guarding the goal of Chinatown.
The terrible habits continue.
Chinatown continued to be suppressed by Barcelona in the first half, and even this one was very passive in the second half, only that flash of counterattack created a goal and saved Chinatown.
Barcelona missed too many chances, and Pep Guardiola's side were exhausted by the second half.
After beating Chinatown in midweek, they welcomed Bielsa's Athletic Bilbao in the league at the weekend, but in order to continue to attack the La Liga title, Guardiola did not rotate as much as Chinatown did, but continued to play against the Basque Lions with a full main lineup, and finally won 2-0.
But in the second half of this game, Barcelona was obviously out of fitness, Cesc Fabregas went off with cramps in the 78th minute, and Xavi, who is known for his excellent physical fitness, did not survive until the end of the game.
Chinatown, on the other hand, lost 2-0 at home to Manuel Pellegrini's Malaga after a heavy rotation at the weekend, but they dominated the game and were significantly better in form.
Barcelona continued to keep the pressure on Real Madrid in La Liga, with seven games remaining, they are only five points down and everything is still possible, but they were knocked out of the Champions League at the Stade Bloc.
As the favourites to win the Champions League this season, Barcelona stopped in the quarterfinals.
On the other hand, Chinatown, which played in the Champions League for the first time, stumbled all the way, but reached the semi-finals.

The Block Stadium is small and ill-equipped, having previously been built as a municipal stadium in Leganes, so it has not been built with high-end venues such as VIP boxes and executive grandstands, as some other professional football stadiums do.
However, the club still has a small area on the side of the chairman's stand, which is dedicated to hosting the families of players and employees, as well as some of the important guests invited by the club.
In this game, Block Stadium ushered in several very special VIPs, that is, two king-level superstars from the Chinese music scene, Jay Chou and Chen Yixun, accompanied by several partners of Dong Chou, including gold medal lyricist Fang Wenshan.
They arrived in Madrid a week ago to witness Chinatown's return to the top four of the league, living in the Chinese quarter of Fuenlavrada, where they experienced first-hand the revelry of the Chinese community after the team's win, and later accompanied the team to Camp Nou, where they drew 2-2 away to a formidable Barcelona side.
They have seen the defeat of the team, the players worked hard until the last minute, but still lost 0-2 at home to Malaga, and now, they have also seen the carnival at the Block Stadium, beating Barcelona 1-0 and advancing to the Champions League semi-finals with an aggregate score of 3-2, which is undoubtedly a great encouragement for Chinatown.
Around them, countless Chinatown fans couldn't help but cry with joy.
It has been said that professional teams in Europe have their own heritage and symbols.
Real Madrid represents the aristocracy, represents the rich, Atletico Madrid represents the working class, but what about Chinatown?
The Chinese say that he is a symbol of the Chinese fighting spirit, but gradually, more and more people living in the southern suburbs of Madrid feel that he should be the symbol of the southern suburbs.
There are so many incredible phenomena in this La Liga team, which won a heavy amateur cup in its first year of existence, beating teams such as Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid's youth teams.
After that, he moved up one step at a time, like a rocket, and quickly jumped from the lowest league to today's La Liga, and now he has rushed to the Champions League, beating Barcelona, which is feared by the entire European football world.
What kind of team is this?
"Suddenly a voice popped into my head that I couldn't finish writing a song about Chinatown. Chou Dong said excitedly in the stands.
Anyone who is at the Brock Stadium at this moment can't help but be infected by the atmosphere of the scene, and will feel that the blood in the whole body is boiling, the brain is also spinning very fast, and the whole person is very excited.
"I've got all the names in mind, one is called 'Forever Forward' and the other is 'Don Quixote'. ”
As he spoke, Dong Chou closed his eyes, as if immersed in the music world in his mind, he obviously had an idea, and his partners seemed to be accustomed to his behavior, just looking at him with a smile.
"I haven't experienced all this on the spot, and I can't experience this feeling at this moment anyway, every inch of skin on my body seems to be trembling, and every cell seems to be in a high court. Chen Yixun shook his head vigorously, with a hearty and enjoyable feeling.
Although there was only one goal in the game, and although their Chinatown was pressed by Barcelona throughout the game, they were stubbornly victorious in the end.
Always moving forward, this is undoubtedly the playing style of Chinatown, and it is also the persistent belief of Chinatown.
Chinatown is like Don Quixote, charging towards the ethereal front again and again.

Chinatown's 1-0 home win over Barcelona shocked the entire world football world.
Pep Guardiola's Barcelona have been the favourites for the Champions League since the start of this season's Champions League, as he has shared the Champions League title with Gao Han, and everyone believes that Guardiola should be able to win the Champions League if Paris Saint-Germain is unable to participate in the Champions League this season.
Unexpectedly, Guardiola stopped in the quarterfinals.
Chinatown has once again shocked the world!
The most eye-catching performance of the two legs was Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who scored two goals, and his sharp pace tore through Barcelona's weak left side in succession, and the two goals helped China City advance to the semi-finals 3-2.
But the real hero of the promotion should be David De Gea.
If it weren't for the Spanish international's superb performance over two legs, China City would not have had a chance to qualify and concede just two goals, and De Gea's selection of the best player in the second leg is the best proof of his performance.
Another highly regarded player was Rakitic, with the Croatian midfielder showing impressive quality, especially in the second goal of the first leg, which arguably sealed the second leg for Chinatown.
Pelle, Eden Hazard, Herrera, Alba, Carvajal......
Chinatown eliminated Barcelona from the Dream Three team, making countless players in the team popular overnight.
In the other three matchups of the Champions League quarterfinals, Bayern Munich's overall strength advantage is obvious, after defeating Atletico Madrid 2-1 at home, and then defeating the Sheets 2-1 away, knocking out the Sheets Army with an aggregate score of 4-2.
Manchester United also suffered from Inter Milan's stubborn sniping, after a 1-0 win away, back home to a narrow 2-1 win over Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri's youngster Hamsik performed well, but in the end it was powerless to prevent Inter Milan's defeat, and finally eliminated Manchester United by an aggregate score of 1-3.
On the other side, Carlo Ancelotti's Manchester City beat Real Madrid 2-1 at home to win the first leg before drawing 2-2 away at Battleship Galaxy to knock them out 4-3 on aggregate.
Jose Mourinho's side played tenaciously in both legs, defending on the counter-attack in an attempt to keep City at bay, but were eventually crushed by a formidable Manchester City.
After all the quarter-finals were completed, Chinatown, Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Manchester City joined hands to reach the semi-finals.
Chinatown also became the only La Liga team to reach the semi-finals.
According to the previous draw, the semi-final will be Chinatown against Bayern Munich, Manchester United and Manchester City will stage the Manchester derby, and the winner of the two matchups will be in the final.
The media around the world were shocked that Chinatown was able to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Bayern Munich coach Heynckes said that he never expected the opponent to be Chinatown, and he always thought that Barcelona would enter the semifinals safely, but he didn't expect Chinatown to be upset.
"This team has the mark of alpine engraved in the depths of its soul, which always surprises people and is not willing to be ordinary. ”
Heynckes also said that he is no stranger to Chinatown, which is a very strong team, and can beat Barcelona to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, proving that Chinatown also has the level of upsetting Bayern Munich.
"The two quarter-finals have given us a new look at Chinatown. ”
Alex Ferguson also expressed surprise that China City had progressed to the semi-finals, arguing that Mauricio Pochettino's management was impressive, while also saying that United would undoubtedly beat Manchester City in the semi-finals to reach the final.
"Chinatown beat Barcelona and proved once again one thing, anything can happen on a football pitch. ”
