The League Cup win not only left Tang Wu's name on Liverpool's merit book, but also in China, Tang Wu was also voted the most influential sports figure in 2004.

There are no real rewards for this competition, but the names on the list will be disseminated to every corner of China with the major media in China. Especially in the remote mountainous areas where you can only watch CCTV 1, after the host read the familiar names of Liu Xiang, Yao Ming, Guo Jingjing, and Wang Liqin, he met a new football player named Tang Wu.

On March 5, after the vacation, Tang Wu experienced another 0-0 battle with the team. However, when it came to the opposition against the same old giants Newcastle, the Reds fans also silently accepted the team's result.

I still responded to that sentence, I was timid in the league, and I hit hard in the cup.

On March 10, Liverpool visited Bayer Leverkusen and won 3-0 again. &a;nsp; The score beats the opponent.

Looking at the 6-0 score over the two legs, KOP couldn't help but want the team to take "a few balls" from this to the league. If the team doesn't win, the fourth position will really not be earned!

Liverpool made it to the top but the other two reds in the Premier League were not so lucky.

Bayern won 3-1 at home in the first leg, and this time they visited Highbury, which was basically defensive-oriented.

Despite Mackay's absence due to injury, teenager Guerreiro started in his replacement. Midfielder Michael Ballack and left wing-back Lizarazu also entered the starting line-up, while Deisler also started in place of Frijns.

Arsenal made changes to last weekend's league line-up, with Bergkamp returning to the starting line-up to partner Thierry Henry, Lauren starting for the injured Nishioka, Reyes and Ljungberg replacing Klich and Cesc Fabregas respectively, Edu being out through injury and Andreas Pire and Gilberto Silva returning from injury to the bench.

Both sides were cautious after the opening, and neither dared to attack easily. This temptation is the whole half.

Bayern has a two-goal advantage, so naturally there is no rush to attack.

In the second half, Arsenal took the lead, in the 66th minute, Ashley Cole made a long pass from the left side of the penalty area, Lucio made a mistake in the retreat, Henry stopped the ball with his right foot and shot diagonally into the far corner of the net from 14 yards in front of the goal, scoring the fifth goal of this Champions League.

Thierry Henry's goal gave hope to the Gunners fans, as the Gunners had one away goal in their hands and needed only one more to level the aggregate score and use the away goal to qualify.

But after 90 minutes, the score was still 1-0, and Thierry Henry's Champions League goals this season stopped at the figure of five.

In another highlight game, Manchester United travelled to the San Siro to take on the Rossoneri in Serie A.

AC Milan have won at home in the group stage and have not conceded a goal in five of their seven Champions League games this season.

United have won just twice in their past 10 visits to the Apennines, drawing one and losing seven.

The reversal of Juventus in '99 filled their hearts with the flames of battle, and Lord Ferguson was bent on destroying AC Milan's chain defense with the "Big Five".

Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, Ronaldo, Paul Scholes and captain Roy Keane were all able to start at the same time more than four months ago when they ended Arsenal's 49-game unbeaten run in the Premier League.

Unfortunately, AC Milan's tightly packed defense made the "Big Five" useless, and the iron chain locked the flames.

AC Milan's Christmas Tree (4321) formation has been very successful, especially defensively.

Stamm, who was injured in the first round of warm-up and was temporarily unavailable, was determined to make Ferguson lose his face this time, not only freezing Ruud van Nistelrooy, but also seizing the upper hand in the air supremacy.

The most prominent was the wide defence, with Maldini guarding the left flank and taking turns to drive Ryan Giggs and Ronaldo towards Cafu.

The 34-year-old Brazilian is the best of the game in his own eyes, with the perfect combination of experience, pace and fitness, and a number of back-up assists at crucial moments caught Heinze off guard.

In the 67th minute of the game, Crespo's "full moon scimitar" cross helped Crespo complete the fatal blow.

The ball is evenly dribbled, and strictly speaking, AC Milan would have won more easily if they had Shevchenko. After all, thanks to Keane's frequent press assists, AC Milan's counter-attack was not hindered too much, and Crespo only had a header on 61 minutes after missing four chances.

It is conceivable that if Inzaghi gradually recovers and Shevchenko returns from injury, AC Milan will be difficult to resist and have few weaknesses to speak of.

Manchester United was beaten by AC Milan this time, which can be described as convincing.

Compared with mature and steady opponents, Xiao Xiaoluo's dribbling and long-range shots always look so pale, Rooney, who usually shows his teeth and claws, can only lose his temper at his teammates, and Silvestre's two stoppage errors also made Kaka and Seedorf almost make a contribution.

This time, the young Xiao Xiao Luo stood behind the Milanese celebrating the victory, looked at the "unreachable" back of No. 22, and clenched his fists fiercely.

At this moment, he remembered Liverpool's No. 99 and Manchester United's No. 8. There is also the number 10 of Barcelona and the number 9 of Atletico Madrid. None of these players have achieved great success in their respective fields.

And he is a little Luo, but he has not even won a League Cup so far.

"One day, I will make the world cheer for a name! That's me, Cristiano Ronaldo! ”

After Milan qualified, the European media commented one after another.

One of the most interesting is the anticipation of the 'title match' between Chelsea and AC Milan.

After all, with AC Milan's cards, I'm afraid only Chelsea can compete. Because Juventus defeated Real Madrid 2-0 away from home and advanced with a score of 2-1.

Speaking of the eliminated Real Madrid, we have to talk about another La Liga giant.

Barcelona, with Xavi, Deco, Samuel Eto'o and Ronaldinho, had visited Stamford Bridge the day before.

On this day, Stamford Bridge resembles a single-plank bridge; Chelsea and Barcelona, one can pass, the other must fall.

The players of both sides gave a great game today, with great shots, great saves, great passes, great tackles and even the fatal mistakes of both sides, all of which were faintly full of heroism.

Chelsea got off to a dream start when the game got underway.

19 minutes, 3-0.

Against La Liga sides, Chelsea showed a different mentality than Liverpool.

Such a score not only saved the loss of the first leg at Camp Nou, but even turned it around.

The gap between teams is as huge as the gap between people – Chelsea have persisted on the counter-attack even at home, while Barcelona have opted to attack aggressively even on the road.

If the first 19 minutes of the game were the best defensive counter-attack in the world, the next 20 minutes were the sharpest attacking in the world – you can't imagine a relatively passive team that can score three times in such a short period of time, but Chelsea did it; It's hard to imagine a team that started three goals down can rise in such a short period of time, but Barcelona did it.

In the 26th minute, Belletti's cross from the right was fouled by Ferreira for a stupid handball in the penalty area, and Krina was punished and the Portuguese was booked.

Ronaldinho, who stood in front of the penalty spot, was able to recover despite Cech's correct judgment.

If Ronaldo's penalty kick was more of a reflection of his steely will, then the subsequent stab on the spot showed the ghostly skills of the World Footballer of the Year.

In the 38th minute, John Terry's header from the edge of the box was cleared, and Iniesta won the ball and crossed for Ronaldinho.

At that time and place, you can think of his inner instep, his outer instep, his arch and even his heel, but even God would not have guessed the tip of his toe!

The elves on the pitch danced his body, bewildering the crowd. By the time Cech reacted, the ball had grazed the right post and into the net.

The right-footed stab from 20 yards out at the top of the penalty area made Ronaldinho's name famous again.

At this moment, all the spectators forgot to exclaim, witnessing a miracle that seemed to happen only in the four-dimensional space.

Perhaps the happiness of 3-0 came too quickly, and Mourinho's team tried to finish 70 minutes early; Barcelona taught the British a lesson with the sharpest attack in all of Europe, and the 3-2 scoreline made it imperative for the battle to continue, and the La Liga side regained their slim advantage.

The 45 minutes of the first half felt as short as 15 minutes, and statistics have shown that if the first 45 minutes of a football match have more than four goals combined, in the second 45 minutes, the total number of goals scored by both sides will not exceed 1 in more than 80 games.

If the second half is scoreless, Barcelona will win by one more away goal; If there is a goal in the second half, who will it belong?

In the second half, almost every second of the Chelsea players exerted 120 strength, if simply described as the physical and mental strength of the department, in order to make up for the technical gap with the opponent to the greatest extent; The interlocking crosses of the Barcelona players were a dizzying array of colourful fires lit in all corners of the pitch, with the Blues only slightly clumsy but also persistently making saves everywhere.

As he walked towards the edge of the cliff little by little, the Englishman did not forget the height and header advantage he still had.

After Cech struggled to get Puyol's header down the line, it was the Blues' turn to retaliate – Gallas won a valuable corner with a rare assist throughout the game, and John Terry was able to take a high-flying header from inside the Barca penalty area in a way that left all his team-mates and opponents negligible.

Chelsea, who once again led the aggregate score, had no ecstasy or comfort, and the "blood lesson" that had just been experienced dozens of minutes ago was enough to ring the alarm bell for a long time; What's more, there were only 15 minutes left before the end of the game – a period of timeless time after a goal that had dealt Barcelona a fatal blow.

The referee blew the final whistle and Mourinho excitedly hugged Frank Lampard, the whole of Stamford Bridge, the whole of London, the whole of England; Ronaldo has many regrets, but Barcelona can say goodbye to the Champions League with a reputation that is not a hero but a hero, go home and wait for the summer to arrive, and then lift the La Liga trophy as a consolation......

"Whatever you want to have, you go for" and that's it.

Barcelona played wonderfully, and Barcelona's ending was helpless; At the same time, you can't offer a stronger reason to criticize Chelsea's utilitarian style of play, as they lost to the more utilitarian Liverpool the other day.

In fact, the day the draw for the quarterfinals of the Champions League was revealed a few months ago was already doomed to today's unchangeable cruel attributes.

The entanglement of wins and losses in the context of such a great game had to be discounted accordingly.

If you're a fan of football in its purest form, you've made the right choice, and the 90 minutes of this story at Stamford Bridge will take you a long time to relive it.
