AC Milan defeated Bayern Munich 5-1 to reach the Champions League final for the fourth consecutive year! After the game, Zhang Shujie and Xu Zhixin exchanged jerseys, and when facing the big brother of the national team, Xu Zhixin's interest was not high, and it could be seen that the team failed to enter the final and his mood was very low.

Inzaghi was very happy and at the press conference, he said: "My disciples have done a great job and I'm very happy that we can reach the final again. Last year we lost the title in the final, and this year we will continue to push for the title. ”

For his part, Heynckes said: "I want to congratulate AC Milan, they played very well, but I don't think my players are bad, they are just as good. It was just Andre Silva's goal that disrupted our plan and unfortunately we were in the last four and we will start all over again next season. ”

AC Milan's run to the final has been reported in the media, and unlike before, AC Milan has made a new history, with the newspaper "Milan Sport" saying: "It's not so easy to reach the final for four years in a row. In fact, if it weren't for the absence of Zhang Shujie and Chen Zihua last year, AC Milan would have had a chance to compete for the honor of winning four consecutive Champions League titles this year. ”

According to the German magazine Kicker: "AC Milan are really strong, Bayern is actually not ashamed to lose to Milan, and whether they are against Real Madrid or Chelsea in the final, AC Milan are more likely than them to win the Champions League." ”

Just when all the media were praising AC Milan's run to the final for the fourth year in a row, the second leg between Chelsea and Real Madrid began. Chelsea beat Real Madrid 2-1 away in the last round, and after returning to home, Chelsea also have more psychological advantages, and the media are more optimistic that they will reach the final and meet AC Milan.

In the game, Real Madrid was almost desperate to attack, Chelsea was defense-oriented, which was in the hands of Real Madrid, and Li Mu was a little dissatisfied with Conte's defensive arrangement. This is at home, so why do you have to retreat on defense? It can be played out.

Conte's tactics soon ushered in bad results, in the 34th minute of the game, Real Madrid's king Cristiano Ronaldo shot the edge of the penalty area, Courtois pounced on the ball, the ball bounced into the net, the score became 1:0, Real Madrid led away, and the aggregate score became 2:2, Chelsea temporarily held the initiative to qualify with two away goal advantages.

This is Ronaldo's sixth Champions League goal this season, which may not be very good for Ronaldo, but he is 35 years old, and it is not easy to score six goals in the Champions League at such an advanced age.

Conte was more cautious defensively after conceding the goal, which also made them a little weak in attack, Li Mu and Eden Hazard were one of the few bright spots in Chelsea's attacking line, and both had a good chance, but Keylor Navas's godlike play saved both shots. Other than that, Chelsea didn't get many chances in attack throughout the first half.

In the second half, Real Madrid did not give up their attacking strategy, and if they want to reach the final, they must attack. In the 72nd minute of the game, Real Madrid's young king Asensio hit the goal with his left foot after receiving Vazquez's cross, piercing Courtois's ten fingers, expanding the score to 2:0, and the total score became 3:2, Real Madrid took the lead.

It was then that Chelsea understood the seriousness of the matter, and Conte began to deploy his troops and replace all the attacking players. Li Mu was even more furious on the court, demanding that everyone participate in the attack. Chelsea's change of style of play paid off, and in the 82nd minute of the game, Li Mu made the score 1-2 with a direct free-kick, and the aggregate score became 3:3 for both sides, and the number of away goals was the same.

The score lasted until full-time, and the two sides had to go to extra time. The English commentator sighed: "If Conte had played the attack earlier, maybe Chelsea would have qualified by now." ”

During the 30 minutes of extra time, both teams had some concerns in attack. The main reason is that the extra time is all about physical strength, and if anyone concedes the ball first, it will be a little difficult to get it back. So they'd rather work a little more on defense, then conserve their stamina and see the opportunity to attack a wave.

However, in the game, neither team got any chance to attack, neither team scored in the 30 minutes, and could only play a penalty shootout to decide the winner, and this is also the first penalty shootout in this Champions League.

Both teams scored penalties in the first two rounds, with Chelsea's Willian taking the lead in the third round, which was saved by Keylor Navas, and then Real Madrid's Asensio converted the penalty, and now the score in the penalty shootout is 3:2, 6:5 on aggregate, with Real Madrid leading.

Cesc Fabregas came on in the fourth round and the Junior French easily slotted the ball in, followed by Real Madrid's Vazquez also firing the ball into the net. The fifth round will be crucial for the two teams, and Li Mu came out in the finale, hitting the ball in the middle with a creative spoon penalty, which Navas did not expect, and the ball flew into the Real Madrid goal.

The last real Madrid to play was Ronaldo, Ronaldo stood at the penalty spot, Conte was very nervous, you must know that Ronaldo can be described as the number one penalty master in today's football. Some fans jokingly called him "Ball Jade", which also shows how powerful Ronaldo's penalty kick is. And there is a terrifying statistic, since Ronaldo's debut, in all major competitions, except for the 2008 Champions League final, Ronaldo's penalty kicks have all hit!

This is also the reason why Conte feels nervous and scared, and his natural big heart makes Ronaldo's psychological quality higher than ordinary people. At this moment, Ronaldo began to run, he didn't use any feints, when he ran to the ball, Ronaldo raised his right leg, and the instep hit the ball fiercely, Courtois pounced in the right direction, but Ronaldo's penalty was too powerful, the angle was too awkward, Courtois failed to save, and the ball drilled into the goal.

Real Madrid defeated Chelsea on penalties and advanced 8-7 on aggregate to meet AC Milan in the final!

Li Mu looked at the celebrating Real Madrid players, shook his head and sighed again and again. When was the last time he reached a Champions League final? It was in 2015, when Li Mu led Chelsea to win the second Champions League in the club's history and the FIFA Ballon d'Or at the end of the year, but now five years later, he has not reached the final of the Champions League.

He has scored 11 goals in the Champions League, second only to Zhang Shujie in the scorer list, and the most assists in Europe, but so what? He is not rare for the Golden Boot and the assist king, he only wants the title. At this time, Ronaldo walked over to him and exchanged jerseys with him, and then Li Mu did not accept the interview and walked straight to the locker room.
