After beating Manchester United in the league and winning the title two rounds in advance, Blackburn Rovers ushered in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final against Barcelona. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Blackburn Rovers rotated all of the players in the league against Manchester United except for Cech, so the second leg against Barcelona still continued the starting line-up for the first leg.

Unlike Blackburn's selective rotation, Barcelona's lineup for the second leg is basically the same as the first leg, with Puyol, who has returned from injury, replacing Marquez, who has accumulated yellow cards and suspended, but that's because they only have this quality squad at the moment.

After the opening, Barcelona still paid attention to the ball control as in the first leg, and Messi basically did not return to the backfield in defense, which put more pressure on Ashley Cole's side of the defense. In the 10th minute, Messi broke the ball in the middle of the field and went straight through, and Eto'o adjusted and shot with his right foot was blocked. One minute later, Abidal fired a shot from 35 meters out that would go over the lintel.

In the 14th minute, Zambrotta broke the ball from the feet of Cristiano Ronaldo, but a misplaced pass was misplaced to Frank Lampard, who took two steps and volleyed a powerful ball into the top right corner of the goal, 1-0.

Frank Lampard pointed his index fingers to the sky after scoring and his team-mates were celebrating the same gesture for the sake of Blackburn's vice-president's grandmother, who passed away only last week.

What is even more touching is that while Blackburn Rovers bid farewell to Frank Lampard's grandmother on the green field, more than 30,000 Blue Devils fans at the Rose Theatre also held up a portrait of Frank Lampard's grandmother at the same time to bid farewell to the hero's family.

At the same time, images of Frank Lampard's grandmother appeared on four giant screens above the Rose Theatre.

"What a touching scene!" Lineker, who was in charge of commentating the game, was also moved by the scene of nearly 40,000 portraits of Frank Lampard's grandmother erected at the same time at the Rose Theatre, and sighed: "At this moment, football really transcends life and death. ”

There was no doubt that this was the setting set up by Arthur, with every Blackburn Rovers fan entering the stadium receiving a portrait of Frank Lampard's grandmother and being informed by the heads of the fan groups.

Arthur didn't know if Frank Lampard would be able to score, but he did it anyway, just to make the Blues feel the warmth of the club and let the outside world know that Blackburn had a warmth that was not known.

Frank Lampard has always been the image of the Predator, but as he watched the last photo of his grandmother rise around the stadium and tens of thousands of fans mourning for their loved ones, the eyes of even the strongest man began to wet slightly.

The old and spicy Lippi also had mixed feelings when he sat in the coach's box, and the Silver Fox, who had experienced many clubs, really felt that Arthur was different from Blackburn Rovers at this moment.

Although Arthur has always been quite stingy in the transfer market and is reluctant to spend a lot of money on the introduction of stars, he has maintained a profitable and standard Grande image in almost every transfer market.

But for his own players, Arthur really has nothing to say.

Blackburn's player salaries have always been the highest in the world's football clubs, not inferior to Chelsea and Real Madrid, and there is no ambiguity in the various benefits.

Just like this time, in memory of Frank Lampard's grandmother, including 40,000 posthumous photos, Arthur spent no less than 100,000 pounds.

Before Arthur, no club president would do that, but he did.

'I don't think we'll ever get Frank Lampard.' There are also a number of other giants who are trying to poach Lampard, such as Real Madrid, such as Chelsea, but the moment the 40,000 portraits are raised, everyone knows that Frank Lampard will die Blackburn Rovers in this life.

After wiping away tears, the Blackburns restarted.

In the 17th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo broke through on the right to create a free kick, Alonso gave it to the goal, and Valdés saved the ball and almost made a mistake.

In the 19th minute, Messi broke through on the right and opened up a left-footed long shot, and Cech struggled to save the ball. One minute later, Ronaldo knocked back in front of the left baseline, Ballack kept pushing the ball, and the ball would be deflected off the right baseline

In the 33rd minute, Barcelona continued to cooperate on the left side, Eto'o knocked back in front of the penalty area, and Xavi curled the ball with his right foot at the top of the arc, slightly over the crossbar. In the 36th minute, Samuel Eto'o crossed diagonally to Xavi, who did not receive Eto'o, who then stepped in and fired a low shot that grazed the left post.

In the 40th minute, Ballack took the ball from the left, and Duff suddenly cut in and shook his head at the goal, and the ball will glove the right post.

In the 44th minute, Barcelona counter-attacked and hit the left wing, and Iniesta's shot was blocked by McConn.

At the end of the first half, Blackburn had a one-goal lead.

After the break, Barcelona, who were down 0-2 on aggregate, had to score two goals in a row to eliminate Blackburn, so they launched a ferocious attack.

In the first 15 minutes of the second half, Barcelona besieged the Blackburn penalty area, but Ashley Cole almost strangled the still slightly immature Messi, the combination of Carvalho and Vidic also did not give Eto'o much space, and Bojan was completely inferior in the battle with McConn.

In midfield, Xavi, Andres Iniesta and Yaya Toure are definitely the best midfield pairings in Europe, but they are far from being tough enough in front of the barrier formed by Frank Lampard, Eric Ballack and Marcos Alonso.

After 15 minutes of attack, Barcelona had no gain, but after Ronaldo and Torres succeeded in the 72nd minute against offside, Torres assisted Ronaldo to give Barcelona the final fatal blow!

2:0！

After falling behind by three goals, Barcelona finally gave up, and in the end, Blackburn eliminated Barcelona with an aggregate score of 3:0 and advanced to the final.

And Barcelona's loss also means a complete reshuffle of this La Liga team.

In fact, long before the quarter-final against Schalke, the Barcelona board of directors held a secret meeting and reached an agreement: Rijkaard left if he lost, and in the end the black swan escaped.

However, in the face of Blackburn, who was 100 times more dangerous than Gelsenkirchen, Lieutenant Shuai and his Barcelona still lowered their heads, which also means the beginning of another round of personnel purge in Barcelona, the first of which is the founding father of the Dream II team.

Barcelona president Joan Laporta has already explained to the coach about his future, but neither of them is willing to speak, only general manager Begiristain declared: "The team never doubted the manager, we have not considered a change." ”

The 40,000 Blue Devils of the Rose Theater shouted in unison, and the momentum was not much inferior to that of Camp Nou. But even in such a sinister environment, Barcelona did not have stage fright, and played a good ball control tactic with me as the main player. Rijkaard's bravery and meticulous deployment are admirable, taking the initiative to attack, playing meticulous control of the ball, and not being overwhelmed by the momentum of the opponent. Barcelona's players are still in poor form, but the team as a whole is not falling apart, let alone the mediocrity of last weekend's league game.

Of course, there are also points to be faulty about, such as his substitutions, Samuel Eto'o's pale performance, Andres Iniesta's lack of breakthrough and deep passing, but the coach did not start to make mechanical substitutions until 6 or 70 minutes, and even gave Bojan, the team's only recent consistent scoring point, 20 minutes. In fact, the operation can be performed at half time.

In recent days, there has been a lot of news in the Catalan press about the change of manager, Blank has been shortlisted for the "draft", Rijkaard has a lot of pressure on his shoulders, even as a guest on the talk show of TV 3, he has to take the trouble to explain his future: "The Champions League task excites me, it's my job, and then we'll see how things play out." ”

In the second half, he even threw off his tie and shouted to the players to press it, and the Dutchman, who has always paid attention to his image, also understood that his time in the position was less than a minute.

The miracle did not happen after all, and Li Shuai was afraid that the clock after class also entered the countdown. Of course, the tough guy will not look back, and the coach was strong after the game to comfort Messi, who was almost about to cry, and Barcelona and himself fell straight up.

After winning the Premier League title and winning Barcelona, Blackburn Rovers finally got their wish to make the move to Moscow.

Previously, Arthur thought that with Arshavin in the team, the Russian "Tsar", he would be able to dominate the home field in the final in Moscow, but his hopes were soon dashed, because the other team in the final would be more supported by Russian fans, because his boss was Abramovich.

In the other Champions League semi-final, it was not Manchester United, who had the last laugh at the weekend and Blackburn Rovers, but Louis van Gaal's side.

Both sides looked cautious from the start, with Malouda's cross from the left being cleared by Blackburn Rovers and then Hargreaves' cross blocked by Bridge and deflected towards goal, with Van der Sar calmly parrying away.

United gradually gained the upper hand on the pitch, but both crosses from both wings were cleared by John Terry's header from the first.

The first leg was 0-0 at Old Trafford, and in the second leg Ferguson and Louis van Gaal were more careful and did not dare to attack easily.

Under the conservative tactical arrangement of the two teams' head coaches, the two teams failed to achieve anything in the regular 90 minutes and the subsequent 30 minutes of extra time, and finally could only enter the most brutal penalty shootout of the football game.

Entering the penalty shootout, Tevez hit the penalty first, and Ballack also scored in one fell swoop, 1:1.

In the second round, Carrick and Belletti both scored penalties, 2:2.

In the third round, Quaresma's penalty kick was accurately saved by Van der Sar, and Anelka scored with a low shot, 2:3.

In the fourth round, Hargreaves hung up the corner and went in, and then Friedel touched the penalty shot by Bridge, but the ball still went into the net, 3:4.

In the 5th round, Nani hit the penalty, and Terry also deceived Friedel to shoot, 4:5!

John Terry took off his shirt and roared after scoring the penalty as the Blues knocked out the Red Devils and reached the final!
