Deportivo reversed AC Milan 4:0 in the second leg this season, the reason why people were shocked and enthusiastic is because such a big reversal is really rare in the history of the Champions League, and Monaco, which fell behind Blackburn Rovers 0:3 in the first leg, can complete a magical reversal of more than 3 goals like Super Laco?

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Blackburn Rovers and Monaco, there were no major injuries to either side and both managers were cautious, with Morientes coming back from an ankle injury to partner Pulshaw up front. Pen~fun~Pavilion www.biquge.info Mourinho has not changed the lineup that won the first leg - in the 35th round of the English Premier League three days ago, except for Friedel who played the whole game, the starting lineup has been well rested.

Prince Rainier III of Monaco, Prince Albert and others were present to watch the game, because there were also Champions League semi-finals of Deportivo La Coruna and Lyon at the same time, so the atmosphere at Monaco's home stadium was not strong enough.

In the opening three minutes, Monaco, who have always been slow to heat, finally woke up at a moment of life and death, Poolau received a direct pass and almost formed a single knife, but the experienced Stam rushed out of the box in time to clear the tackle, and Cisse fired a left-footed shot from the edge of the box.

In the seventh minute, Zikos brought down Frank Lampard and Alonso's free-kick from the right was punched out by goalkeeper Roma with both fists, and Giuli's low shot from 16 yards was blocked by Rodriguez.

In the first 15 minutes, Morientes and Alberto each had shots on goal, but neither of them hit the woodwork.

Both teams defended tightly in midfield and the scene was rather dull, and this stalemate was quite unfavorable for Monaco, with the royal family members in the VIP box looking solemn.

In the 39th minute, Duff's cross from the left was pushed out, Gyuli took the ball back on the right side, Makelele crossed the penalty area diagonally, Ibrahimovic leaned on the defender's right foot to unload the ball, Giwe barely cleared the ball and did not kick far, Finnan reacted quickly and hit the right side of the gate with a right-footed volley from the penalty spot, Blackburn led 1:0.

It was Finnen's first Champions League goal of the season and he took off his shirt to celebrate, and was booked.

But no one will blame Finnen, because this goal gave Blackburn a 4-0 lead on aggregate and also held one away goal, Monaco must score five goals in the remaining 50 minutes to turn the tables around, which is completely impossible!

At the start of the second half, Monaco tried to launch a counter-attack, but Blackburn's all-out retracting defence looked a little overwhelmed, and Deschamps also had an anxious look in his eyes on the sidelines.

In the 56th minute, Monaco missed a chance to equalize. Evra made a long pass into the box from the left and the ball bounced next to Duff, but Poolau was a little slow to start and the ball hit his thigh and bounced off the line.

In the 60th minute, Roten crossed the penalty area diagonally from the left, and Poolau rubbed a header 10 meters in front of the goal with the interference of the defender.

Jose Mourinho opted for utilitarianism before reaching the Champions League final for the first time, replacing Duff and Gyuli on the flanks with Cambiasso and Sun Jihai, and Blackburn's formation changed to 4-5-1.

Didier Deschamps had only one way to strengthen his attack, with striker Honda replacing midfielder Cisse instead.

In the 71st minute, Monaco did not seize the opportunity in the corner kick attack, but was played a quick counterattack by the opponent, Blackburn formed a three-on-three in front, Alonso shook a defender to the left side, Lampard burst into the penalty area and knocked back with his left foot, Cambiaso adjusted the soles of his feet slightly, and shot a low right-footed shot into the lower left corner from 12 meters in front of the goal, 2:0!

At this time, the cameras at the scene captured Prince Albert getting up and leaving.

Blackburn Rovers sealed the win, Mourinho began to close, replacing Ibrahimovic with the old captain Jeff Kenna, Monaco also had no intention of counterattacking and accepted the fact of elimination, while Blackburn kept the score 2:0 until the end, and eliminated the opponent with a huge score difference of 5:0 in the two legs!

Arthur's side are finally on the Champions League final stage after winning the Premier League title in the past two years, while Didier Deschamps, who experienced endless glory as a player, tasted the bitterness of defeat.

Both managers were honest after the game, with Jose Mourinho leading veteran captain Jeff Kenna to the winner's cheers, while Didier Deschamps was convinced by the defeat.

'It's almost certainly my last game at Blackburn Rovers and I think we've been really good in the last three or four years and after the conquest of England we can finally go and conquer Europe. I'm very proud of the team's performance, but it's really time for me to leave and it's the best way to leave. Jeff Kenna, who had just under 10 minutes of playing time in two rounds, was moved.

There is a feeling of defeat called convincing, and perhaps the Monaco, who lost by five goals over two legs, is in such a mood, at least in the eyes of Didier Deschamps, Blackburn is an opponent who is better than Real Madrid.

'Blackburn Rovers and Monaco are not in the same class and even though I was disappointed with the result, I have to say that the victory was justified. Perhaps, only Didier Deschamps, who won all the accolades as a player, can have enough measure to admit this.

'The Champions League semi-finals were a big challenge, but in the end we came home empty-handed. Monaco finished third in Ligue 1 this season and it was a season of passion for them but it was a blank slate: "My players showed enough desire and passion to win today, but the end result was clearly unacceptable to them. I need a while to calm the players down because a defeat like this is something that you can't let go of for a long time. But in any case, it's just a game. ”

Indeed, for Monaco, who have been unknown in Europe for many years, reaching the semi-finals is already a great success, and if they are against the likes of Real Madrid, Milan or Manchester United, a defeat would be enough to accept, but against a not-so-feared Blackburn side, defeat will be all the more bitter.

After Blackburn Rovers eliminated their opponents by a huge 5-0 score difference over two legs and reached this season's Champions League final, Deportivo La Coruna also beat Lyon on penalties to secure another ticket to the final.

Compared with the "Galaxy Battleship" Real Madrid and Milan, this year's Champions League final suddenly changed from a game of giant teams to a duel between civilians for the first time.

Blackburn Rovers vs Deportivo La Coruna, the duel between two dark horses that have subverted the traditional forces, also has a bit of a needle-to-needle taste: Irueta vs Mourinho, attack vs defense, the two most characteristic managers in European football, who is the leader of the new generation of coaches?

Sharp as A Coruña and strong as Blackburn, who can win between spear and shield?

Whoever has the last laugh is destined to bring the European revolution to a successful end this season.

After reaching the Champions League final without being favoured, the two have become representatives of a new generation of coaches in European football. The revolution in the Champions Cup was started by these two men, so who is the ultimate winner of this revolution?

Despite both reaching the final after knocking out the giants, Blackburn and Deportivo rely on very different styles of weapons: Blackburn have been steady all the way, conceding no more than two goals per game, and defense is the foundation of their footing; Deportivo La Coruna have had their ups and downs, especially in the stunning comeback against AC Milan, and the attack was the source of their progress.

In the quarter-finals of the Champions Cup, Blackburn conceded the fewest goals and was the strongest shield; Deportivo La Coruna has scored the most goals and can be called the sharpest spearhead, who is the final winner in this conflict?

In addition, this kind of focus battle is the perfect time to give birth to heroes, and who wouldn't want to be born out of thin air and leave a brilliant mark in the history of the Champions Cup? The temptation to be famous and profitable is something that no one can resist.

On May 9, in the 37th round of the Premier League, after Arsenal's 1-0 victory over Fulham, even Blackburn's 3-1 reversal of Tottenham Hotspur would not help, and they could only watch the unbeaten Gunners this season be crowned champions of the Premier League this season with a 5-point advantage.

In the 38th round of the Premier League, this round was a passing moment for Blackburn, with young players such as Bentley, Cristiano Ronaldo, goalkeeper Lewis and Martin Taylor, and fringe players such as Shunsuke Nakamura and Li Tie starting and playing the whole game.

In the end, Blackburn finished their Premier League campaign with a score of 2-2, and Ibrahimovic and Bentley, who competed with Thierry Henry until the last minute, scored two goals.

Blackburn have 28 wins, 9 draws and 1 loss this season with 93 points, which is almost perfect, and this point has been enough to ensure that they win the league title in the past, but unfortunately this year they have met a more perverted Arsenal.

With 30 wins, 8 draws and 0 defeats, 98 points is also the highest in the history of the Premier League, which is Arsenal's answer in the Premier League this season, four more than the Gunners in Arthur's previous life.

Arthur knows it was his own Blackburn who forced out the in-form Arsenal.

Losing to such an opponent, Arthur is also convinced, after all, Arsenal has not made a single mistake in the league throughout the season, even if he lost to his Blackburn Rovers in the Champions League quarterfinals over two legs, even if he was eliminated by Manchester United in the FA Cup semi-finals, Wenger was able to adjust his mentality in time, no longer pay attention to the Champions League and FA Cup defeats, and focus all his energy on the league, and finally presented the most brilliant answer sheet of the Premier League.

But it doesn't matter, Arthur also knows that such a terrifying Arsenal will gradually "disintegrate" from this summer, and under the huge pressure of the new stadium, Wenger's team will soon become a youth guard, and then evolve into a "race for four", and even celebrate for an FA Cup, and the Gunners will no longer have to worry about it.

This season's Arsenal can be regarded as the last afterglow!

In terms of the Premier League's top scorers, Ibrahimovic was fierce in the closing stages, but he was ultimately not as good as Thierry Henry, who ultimately scored 28 league goals this season – a figure that has won the Premier League's Golden Boot in the past few seasons, while Thierry Henry's league tally was locked at 30.

Behind Thierry Henry and Ibrahimovic are Alan Schiller, who scored 22 goals, Vanney and Saha, who scored 20 goals, and Anelka, who scored 17 goals.

The Premier League officially announced the winners of a number of awards this season, with Arsenal who won the Premier League title unbeaten as the biggest winner, manager Arsene Wenger won the Coach of the Year award, and Thierry Henry alone won the Golden Boot for Top Scorer and Player of the Year.

In terms of best team, although Arsenal are league champions, Blackburn have not allowed the Gunners to dominate, with as many as five players from each team selected, with the Gunners named in the Team of the Season with Lehmann, Campbell, Patrick Vieira, Pire and Thierry Henry, and Blackburn Rovers with Carvalho, Ashley Cole, Finnan, Frank Lampard and Ibrahimovic.

The only player in the All-Tournament squad who is not an Arsenal or Blackburn Rovers player is now the up-and-coming Reds captain Steven Gerrard.

With the exception of Arsenal and Blackburn, the rest of the teams have been unsatisfactory this season.

Chelsea received a $200 million investment from Roman Abramovich at the start of the season as they finished third in the league and reached the last four of the UEFA Cup. While these results are still far from what Abou is asking for, they are Chelsea's best results in recent years. The Blues' previous best result was top of the league in 1955.

But none of this was enough to save Ranieri's position, as the fate of former president Butz was sealed at the beginning of the season, but the Italian insisted on completing the entire season. Chelsea should have carved a statue of Ranieri on his tombstone, writing: "He makes everyone happy, except the Russians." ”

With the exception of Arsenal, Blackburn Rovers and Chelsea, most of the rest of the teams should be classified as losers this season, including Manchester United, who finished fourth in the league.

It is a huge irony that Manchester United are 15 points ahead of fifth-placed Liverpool and cannot escape being relegated to the same category. However, they won this season's FA Premier League Cup, and the semi-final victory over Arsenal was a proud achievement.

Rio Ferdinand's evasion of a drug test has been one of United's most talked-about topics this season, and if Leo had 'remembered' to take a drug test, perhaps the outcome would have been very different.

The most tragic of all was Leeds United, a team that dominated in the late '60s and mid-'70s, and was completely dominated by money in the late '90s. Four years ago, Leeds United, who had injected a huge amount of money, reached the Champions Cup final, and in just four years, Leeds United was pressed into the League One by huge debts.

Chelsea and Leeds United are on the same path, except that Chelsea's dream can come true with the support of the rich Roman Abramovich, who has entered a nightmare and it has been fulfilled.

Unable to fight relegation due to financial difficulties, Leeds United were relegated with 33 points after barely surviving last season, with Elland Road Stadium witnessing the spectacular farewell of tens of thousands of people. Wolves and Leicester City also suffered their fate. (To be continued.) )
