Jurgen Klopp fielded a completely different line-up from the first leg of the Champions League, and even substitutes did not appear in the starting line-up.

As expected, Chelsea took a more cautious approach to counter-attack, but Blackburn didn't intend to give the Blues much time to settle in from the start, and from the first seconds of the game, Blackburn went on to attack aggressively.

In the 7th minute, Blackburn's first threat appeared, Coutinho received Deli Ali's return pass in midfield, and directly sent the ball into the penalty area.

In the penalty area, Sterling quickly stepped forward, grabbed the landing point of the football, and directly swung his right foot to hit the goal, and the ball hung directly on the top left of the goal!

Chelsea's Thibaut Courtois was also very accurate, standing directly on the left side of the goal when Sterling got up, and punched the ball out with a light jump, and Cahill, who was driven to clear, kicked out of the danger zone.

Conte breathed a sigh of relief on the sidelines, then walked up to the pitch and loudly instructed his disciples to step up the defence and press the Blackburn midfield.

Blackburn's attack immediately whittled the desire of the Chelsea players to attack, and the Blues soon began to counter-attack, but there was little discipline under Blackburn's midfield strangulation.

Antonio Conte's face on the sidelines was a bit unpleasant, but it didn't stop the team from counter-attacking, after all, some threatening attacks are needed now to boost the team's morale.

The game looked increasingly tough for Chelsea, with Blackburn Rovers threatening the Blues' goal from home advantage, but the likes of Anthony Martial and Raheem Sterling squandered chances on a number of occasions.

Blackburn Rovers were desperate to open the scoring in the first half, but instead missed two good chances to shoot from inside the box.

At the end of the first half, Blackburn Rovers still couldn't score the lead, and the two sides returned to the dressing room with a still 0-0 situation.

In the dressing room, Klopp did not change his tactics, still asked the team to continue to strengthen the attack, the players did not have any opinions, this game is an unacceptable result for Blackburn, with the stability of Chelsea this season, once this game can not achieve a reversal in points, then it is really difficult to overtake Chelsea.

Shortly after the start of the second half, Blackburn, who were determined to score, almost suffered a blow in the 63rd minute, Hazard drove a corner from the right, Kurt Zouma headed the cross, and Matic scored with a header from close range, but the referee ruled that Matic had fouled Coutinho first, so the goal was cancelled.

But this has scared Klopp out of a cold sweat, looking back at the bench, ready to take the initiative to break the equilibrium on the field.

"Neymar, Antony, Gareth, you all prepare for me!"

Klopp gave the order, Neymar, Bale and Griezmann all took off their coats and began to warm up, apparently Klopp was not intimidated by this Chelsea corner, but was ready to increase the attacking firepower.

In the 68th minute of the second half, Varane was forced to tackle the opponent on the right side outside the penalty area in order to block the opponent's cross, and was warned by referee Bol with a yellow card and awarded a free kick. And at this time, Blackburn also played a substitution display.

Neymar and Griezmann came on the pitch to replace Raheem Sterling and Rakitic, Coutinho moved back to become the team's playmaker, and Blake's firepower on the field instantly increased a notch.

A foul by Raphael Varane gave Chelsea a free-kick from the right outside the box, and although the angle of the direct free-kick was too small, it was a good chance to score from a free-kick pass, much better than a corner. Players from both sides huddled in front of the small penalty area, with more or less pulling movements in their hands.

Eden Hazard whipped in a free-kick and saw the ball fly forward, and Raphael Varane jumped to the top of the ball before Diego Costa.

After neutralizing this attack from Chelsea, Neymar began to take over the banner of Blackburn's attack, and after coming off the bench, he was unbeatable.

Neymar has the Brazilian's signature dribbling skills and breaking prowess, and is one of the most beautiful in the Blackburn Rovers team today, and his butterfly-like dribbling on the right side is a treat for Blackburn Rovers fans.

It was Neymar's cross from the right that allowed Griezmann to find a chance to head home, but Courtois did well to tip Griezmann's header over the crossbar.

Blackburn Rovers in the stands kept chanting Neymar's name, although the two Ballon d'Or players in the team were Bale and Griezmann, Harry Kane won the league golden boot, and the team's vice-captains were Frank Lampard and Phil Jones, but Blackburn Rover's team leader this season is undoubtedly Neymar.

After Neymar broke through on the left side again, he passed to Griezmann, who took the ball at the edge of the penalty area, and the opposing defender Kurt Zouma stuck up again, constantly pushing him behind him, and constantly pushing him with his knee insidiously against Griezmann's thigh bend.

Seeing that Cahill was also about to run towards him, Griezmann shook his foot and bounced the ball in the opposite direction!

Did Griezmann make a mistake?

At this time, Neymar suddenly jumped out, struggled to take a step forward, took a step forward, and at this moment Cahill and Zouma were attracted to Griezmann, which means that Neymar is temporarily empty!

Neymar dribbled the ball twice, then suddenly picked up his left foot at the penalty spot and slammed the football hard!

The football flew out from Neymar's feet with a strong air current, and countless Blackburn Rovers fans were ready to cheer, but today Chelsea goalkeeper Courtois was like taking medicine, this time the reaction was extremely fast, the football just flew into the small penalty area He reacted, in the face of such a long shot with good speed, power and angle, Courtois punched the ball out with a leap.

But this football Courtois is still not well controlled, and the ball is still in the penalty area, and the landing point is at the edge of the small penalty area.

Courtois immediately got up from the ground and relaxed slightly when he saw the ball landing, as Chelsea full-back David Luiz was back in the box, and he was the closest to the ball's drop, and he was less than two feet away.

David Luiz is definitely a top defender in terms of strength, but the problem is that there are always some unrealistic ideas in his brain circuit, sometimes they are brilliant strokes, and sometimes they are extremely bad mistakes.

This time, when David Luiz saw that Blackburn was in a good position because of the attack, and his teammates up front were in a good position, the first thought that came to his mind was not to clear the ball off the sideline, but to send it directly to the front court.

But just as David Luiz picked up his right foot and was about to bend his bow and arrow, he heard his teammate Courtois scream.

David Luiz was still a little confused, but the next moment he only felt his right foot slam into the air and kick it into the air.

Mistaken?

No!

It turned out that after Neymar's long-range shot, Martial still went out of his way to the goal from the left, and he didn't know if Neymar's shot would be saved, but he continued to run.

Anthony Martial stepped forward before Courtois could save the ball, and naturally shook off the Chelsea defenders next to him, and when the ball was blocked by Courtois and David Luiz quickly stepped forward to get the ball out of the box, Anthony had already told David to sprint.

David Luiz was overthinking, and Anthony Martial strode forward, slammed his right foot into the ground, and slid into a sliding tackle position, and his left foot toe preempted David Luiz and stabbed the ball straight into the empty net.

"Bang!"

"Huh!"

There was a soft thud, the sound of a soccer ball flying into the goal and hitting the net, and then a huge cheer rang out over the Rose Theater Stadium!

After slamming the ball out, Anthony quickly balanced his weight and lay down on the canvas. He didn't know if his hurried toe stab would go in, but the opposing goalkeeper Courtois had just fallen to the ground for saving Neymar's long-range shot, and the ball that was almost facing an empty goal should not be bad.

Anthony Martial quickly got up from the ground, and then he saw the football fly smoothly into the goal, and the moment the football flew into the goal, he only felt that all the evil anger in his heart was vented, and a wave of excitement surged into his mind, and then he jumped into the air, shook his fist fiercely, and opened his mouth to roar.

Neymar pounced and hugged Anthony Martial. Although his long-range shot was saved by the opposing goalkeeper Courtois just now, and Martial's goal could not count himself as one assist, Neymar was still very happy to be able to take away the victory of this game. The rest of his team-mates pounced on him, and they surrounded Martial.

Anthony Martial was soon surrounded by all of Blackburn's team-mates such as Neymar and Antoine Griezmann, including goalkeeper Petr Cech, because everyone knew what the 83rd-minute goal meant.

Everyone congratulated Anthony Martial, who scored for the team, not only for Martial, but also for the team's victory, Martial's goal came in the 83rd minute of the game, plus the injury time will not exceed 10 minutes, the victory of this game will go to Blackburn.

Although Conte used up all three personnel in the last 10 minutes of the game, and Chelsea's attack was in full swing, how could the defense at Blackburn Rovers be so vulnerable? Coupled with the bonus of the home field, Blackburn's defense is not said to be impregnable, but it can also be described as a great wall of steel.

After replacing goal-scorer Anthony Martial with N'Golo Kante in the 90th minute, Blackburn Rovers began to retract from the defensive line across the board, and Antonio Conte's Chelsea were powerless in that situation.

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game when substitute Cesc Fabregas's powerful shot from outside the box went wide of the goal.

Blackburn Rovers won the game 1-0 in the most economical way, and got the most important three points of the season!

At the end of the game, Blackburn Rovers are now clear of Chelsea at the top of the league with 79 points, with the Blues two points behind the defeat of the 'six-point battle'.

Manchester City, the closest to the two teams, still maintains a "thin" situation in this round, after a draw, and Manchester United have 66 points, although it is still theoretically possible, but it can already be announced in advance to bid farewell to the Premier League title this season.

With the last five rounds of the league remaining, Blackburn's two-point lead is nothing at all, and unlike the Premier League, Blackburn still have the Champions League to juggle, so the Roses still can't take it lightly.

In fact, Blackburn didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, as on the third day of their win over Chelsea, the Rose Theatre welcomed more than 50,000 home and away supporters again.

They are all here for the second leg of the quarter-final match between Blackburn Rovers and Bayern Munich!

Blackburn are currently leaders against Chelsea and Bayern Munich, but just as Blackburn are only two points clear of Chelsea in the league, Blackburn are only one goal ahead of Bayern Munich if they lose their two away goal advantage.

It is precisely because of this that in the league game against Chelsea, Klopp launched an extreme rotation, with a completely different line-up of players from the first leg of the Champions League last time, and even the substitutes did not appear in the starting line-up.

Neymar, Griezmann and N'Golo Kante, who came on as substitutes in the game, played less than 30 minutes, and Kante, who only played 4 minutes, ended the game without even breaking a sweat.

In the face of Bayern Munich's battle, the recuperated Blackburn could not afford to lose, and Klopp also prepared a big gift for his old Bundesliga enemy!

It is worth mentioning that before the game, many Arsenal and London fans played a cheering slogan for Blackburn Rovers online: "Avenge Arsenal!" ”
