3-0, Inter Milan's victory over Manchester United, whether from the score or the process of the game, can be said to be impeccable, from beginning to end in Inter Milan's control.

After the game, Sir Alex Ferguson graciously congratulated Gao Han and his Inter Milan, but also said that the bad rain had made it difficult for Manchester United to adapt and the game became more difficult, especially against Inter Milan, who had excellent passing. ”

Greene Wald, a well-known journalist for the British Guardian, commented in his column.

"But if we dig a little deeper, there are a lot of very interesting details hidden in the game. ”

"According to the stats we got after the game, Inter Milan didn't have a high percentage of possession in this game, only 52.3 per cent, which means that Manchester United had 47.7 per cent possession, while Inter Milan had 82.8 per cent of the pass completion rate, while Manchester United had 77.3 per cent. ”

'In attack, Inter and Manchester United both had thirteen shots on goal, but Inter had eight shots on target and United had only one, and the statistics from our post-match statistics showed that most of United's shots were from the edge of the box, which is why the Red Devils' shots were inefficient and reflected the anxiety of the United players. ”

'In terms of interceptions, Inter Milan have a staggering 23 tackles compared to Manchester United's twelve, so the difference between the two teams is telling, which is a reflection of some of the games. ”

At the end of his column, Greenwald wrote: "If we look at the game data alone, it is not difficult to see that Inter Milan do not have the overwhelming advantage that the game process and the score suggest, but I believe that everyone who has watched the game with their own eyes will doubt the authenticity of the data." ”

"But I want to say that OPTA's stats are true, and what we saw in the game is not false, the problem is that Inter Milan is dealing with all kinds of details, the same time of possession, Manchester United can only be forced to fall in the middle of the back, but Inter Milan can use the pass to tear apart the defence, obviously, the latter reaction is more ornamental on the pitch, and it is easier to impress us. ”

"In this strong conversation, Inter Milan showed a very comprehensive and rich attacking and defensive routine, especially the two goals in the first 30 minutes of the first half, which were crucial and established the victory of the game in one fell swoop. ”

While Greene Wald praised Inter's performance, the Sun, among others, blamed United's fiasco on the poor performance of the players, especially Heinze and Wes Brown.

Martin Samuel, a columnist for the Daily Mail, criticized the performances of the two players by name.

"Heinze and Wes Brown were a disaster, and it was a tragedy for them. ”

Martin Samuel took direct aim at United's backline, arguing that Ferguson had high hopes for the two players, but their performances were not convincing, especially with Wess Brown.

'He lived in the shadow of Ibrahimovic throughout the game, with the Swedish centre-forward firmly dominating the United penalty area, especially with the third goal, which showed his fatal weakness as a centre-back, and he even gave Ibrahimovic the chance to get up and shoot after calmly stopping the ball in the box. ”

Many British media outlets have also accused Heinze, believing that Ferguson's reuse of the Argentine left-back was a huge mistake.

"Ferguson was willing to bet, but he was wrong in this game. ”

Returning to his familiar left-back, Heinze proved with a disastrous performance that he is still the most reassuring of the elements. ”

'It's hard to believe that he could make such an unforgivable mistake in a high-calibre match like the Champions League quarter-finals, when he suddenly crossed the ball across the box and almost caused a tackle from Ibrahimovic, and Rio Ferdinand had to clear the ball and even slip to the ground in a hurry to kick off the second goal. ”

But the British media also said that 0-3 is not a reflection of the true strength of the two sides.

"It was a game that was decided by the first half hour. ”

However, the Italian media clearly did not see it that way, believing that if it had not been for Inter Milan's slowing down after the victory, and if it had not been for the heavy rain last night, United would probably have suffered a humiliating score at the Meazza Stadium.

"We can see that at the beginning of the game, Manchester United was completely suppressed, Inter Milan frequently got excellent chances, if it was not for the heavy rain, I am afraid that in the first half hour, the score would not be 2-0, but at least 4-0. ”

"It's true that the form of the Manchester United players is questionable, but Inter Milan is really better than Manchester United overall. ”

Milan Sports newspaper believes that Manchester United's mediocrity just reflects the strength of Inter Milan.

"Throughout this season's Champions League campaign, Manchester United's performances have been unsatisfactory, with a lack of holes in defence, lackluster in attack and even Ferguson's proudest on-field command in the past. ”

"Yes, Sir Alex Ferguson is limited by the squad and has not many cards to change in his hand, but under the strong pressure of Inter Milan away from home, he is completely self-defeating by ignoring his team's defensive instability. ”

Defensively, Rio Ferdinand was not in inconsistent form after returning from injury, but he was the dominant player in this game and his performance was really eye-catching, but Smith Brown's clumsiness greatly slowed down Ferdinand's performance. ”

'Of course, the rain made the pitch slippery, which was really bad for the defence, but United's overall poor defence was not just highlighted in this game. ”

On the other hand, Inter Milan is still the usual four-three-three tactics, Gao Han even makes it easy for everyone to guess his starting lineup, but the excellent performance of Yaya Toure and Cristiano Ronaldo, the calm and relaxation of the players in the game, makes people see the strength of Inter Milan. ”

"Manchester United seemed to be struggling throughout the game, but Inter Milan played very flexibly, without direct confrontation with the opponent, without the kind of quick and fierce collisions, more skillful and smooth passing. ”

"It can be said that the cold Inter Milan used this game to explain to all of us the true meaning of overall football and pass-and-control football, Manchester United are like a blind bull in front of them. ”

Milan Sport also highlighted one player, Veron.

"After the White Wizard left Manchester United, he sank several times, but under Gao Han's command, whether it was Chelsea or Inter Milan, they all showed a very high level, and this game against his old club Manchester United, Veron perfectly interpreted his ability and characteristics, so that Ferguson clearly saw his strength. ”

"This season, the fans at the Estadio Meazza have stood up and applauded Veron after the game on several occasions, and he is the heart of Inter's midfield and one of the best performers of the season. ”

Although, he didn't score. ”

When the media praised Inter Milan's 3-0 victory over Manchester United, the Inter Milan management also praised Gao Han's coaching ability and the performance of the players.

Speaking to the media after the game, the club's president, Facchetti, said: "It was a wonderful victory, we were pleasantly surprised to see the huge changes in the team, Gao Han has given us an incredible gift and I really hope he will be at Inter Milan forever. ”

However, for the team to advance to the semi-finals and even have a chance to reach the final, Fachetti showed a well-established side.

'It's too early for us to talk about qualifying because we all know that a 3-0 score will only give us a certain advantage, but we need to do more to get to the semi-finals and even the final. ”

"But I believe that as long as the players can keep up the good performance in this game, then we are more than capable of challenging for the Champions League and we will have a bright future. ”

While the world marveled at Inter Milan's 3-0 win over Manchester United, the other three matches in the quarter-finals of the Champions League were also decided.

In the other game in the bottom half, Liverpool lost 2-1 at Roma as the Red Wolves beat the Reds at home thanks to goals from Tadej and Vussinic, but Steven Gerrard's goal secured a valuable away goal for Liverpool.

The score also made the second leg even more dramatic.

In the top half, Chelsea travel to AC Milan.

Andrea Pirlo's 40th-minute goal opened the scoring for the Rossoneri, but John Terry's second-half goal equalised for Chelsea and the two sides began to settle in a stalemate.

It wasn't until the 84th minute that Kaka scored another goal for AC Milan, but at the crucial moment, John Terry turned the tide again in the third minute of stoppage time and scored a goal for the Blues, making it 2-2.

With a brace, John Terry was the Blues' leading scorer in promotion.

Whether it is the English media, manager Jose Mourinho, or even club owner Roman Abramovich praised Terry in an interview with the media, believing that the Blues captain showed Chelsea's soul and fighting spirit at a critical moment.

In the other game in the first half, Atletico Madrid defeated Bayern Munich 2-0 at home thanks to goals from Torres and Villa, and the Bundesliga team lost away from home, almost doomed to be eliminated from the competition.

At the end of this leg, Inter Milan deservedly became the number one favorite to win the Champions League.

The Nerazzurri have been the focus of attention on all bettors in the odds charts of major European bookmakers, especially after beating Manchester United 3-0, and the odds have risen all the way up to a staggering number and become the favourites with the highest odds of all time.

Some media even joked that even if Inter Milan really won the championship in the end, the bettors who bet on it would not make much money at all, but the bettors who bet on other teams would probably make a lot of money.

This has also led many bettors to take a gamble and bet on other teams.

Atletico Madrid is a close second, followed by Chelsea, AC Milan and Liverpool.

The 3-0 win over Manchester United, coupled with the shocking odds offered by the bookmaker, have put Inter Milan in the limelight by the media and fans, and the head coach Gao Han has once again become the focus of reports and attention from major media in the world.

Everyone is curious to know if Gao Han will finally lead Inter Milan to another successful Champions League as those fans imagined.

Will the curse of death appear on Inter Milan?
