Inter Milan continued to attack, and in the 31st minute, Toure cut through the ribs, Balotelli cut in to form a one-on-one knife, and his right-footed shot from 8 meters was blocked by Cech with his body. Two minutes later, Toure's long-range shot from 25 yards failed to cause any trouble for Cech. Inter Milan hit a surge, but Chelsea's goalkeeper Petr Cech saved the final blow. Although Cech has weakened since his injury, he is still one of the best goalkeepers in the world.

Inter's insistence on attacking finally paid off, in the 43rd minute, McCone broke the ball from the feet of Frank Lampard on the right side of the field, he distributed the ball to Toure, Toure knocked the ball to Cambiaso, the Argentine shot from distance, but it was not on target, but the mistake happened to turn into a pass, Makelele mistaken, his clearance was empty, Klose received the ball in the Chelsea box and hit the goal with his right foot from 5 yards in front of goal. Even Petr Cech could not do anything with such a close-range shot, and Inter scored the lead late in the first half of the first half to go into the break with a 1-0 scoreline.

The one-goal advantage at home is not safe, especially against Chelsea who have a deep imprint of Mourinho and are extremely resilient, and their home stadium is not easy to deal with.

Ten minutes before the start of the second half, Inter Milan launched a strong attack according to Lee Seung-bong's arrangement at half-time. Against the imposing Inter Milan, Chelsea simply couldn't keep the ball at their feet.

In the 52nd minute, Toure's shot was blocked. In the 59th minute, Ribery fired a right-footed volley from 27 meters out in the middle, and the ball grazed the right post and was about to be deflected. Inter Milan missed chances to extend their lead one after another.

Faced with the passivity on the pitch, Grant didn't finally make an adjustment until the 63rd minute, replacing Joe Cole, who was active but ineffective, with Kalou.

In the 64th minute, Zivo's pass from the right side hit Ballack's right arm, but the referee decided that it was an unintentional handball and did not stop the game. Inter Milan attacked for 20 minutes in the second half, and their physical strength began to decline, and there was no way to maintain such a strong attack, Lee Seung-bong gestured on the sidelines, allowing the Inter players to recycle and adjust, and Chelsea finally got a respite and began to have a decent attack.

In the 66th minute, Ballack received a free-kick from Frank Lampard on the left and headed it at a slightly correct angle, which was directly picked up by Cesar. One minute later, Ballack's cross from the right was wide-ranging, and Kalou stopped the ball and fell to his left foot to shoot, which was blocked by Cambiaso's sliding tackle.

During this time, Chelsea's attack has improved, and although the attack is still not effective, Li Chengfeng has to be vigilant. Lee Seung-bong replaced Balotelli with Diarra, increased the midfield defense, and replaced Klose, who was in declining physical strength, with Milito. Chelsea's attack was tougher, and the Premier League's fierce competition left them less fit than Inter, and their attack was not able to remain pressing for longer, and Inter had a chance to counter-attack.

In the 83rd minute, Ballack's left-footed shot from the periphery was held by Cesar. One minute later, Toure received a pass from Balotelli and evaded Makelele, and fired a right-footed volley from the right corner of the penalty area, which was lifted up by Cech with one hand.

Inter almost doubled their lead in stoppage time when John Terry was booked for deliberately blocking Cambiaso. Zivo took a free-kick and crossed the ball into the back of the net and almost bounced off Drogba's body as he returned to defend and into the Chelsea goal. Milito's follow-up shot from the right was also blocked by Cech.

In the end, Inter Milan won 1-0 at home to Chelsea. Inter Milan won the game, but Chelsea did not lose hope. The second leg between the two sides will be played on 30 April at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home ground, and it will be an even more intense battle.

In the league home match with Cagliari, Lee Seung-peak rotated most of the main players and still won easily 3:1.

Chelsea were not so lucky, as they hosted top-placed Manchester United in the league in a crucial league title game. Chelsea are just three points behind Manchester United and will have any hopes of winning the league title if they can win this head-to-head conversation, with Grant fielding their strongest squad to win a hard-fought 2-1 victory over a reserved Manchester United.

Manchester United have a far better goal difference than Chelsea, and even if they lose this game, they will still be the league champions as long as they win their remaining two league games, and they are about to host Barcelona in the Champions League, the first leg of the tie between the two sides is 0-0, and Sir Alex Ferguson clearly takes this game more seriously.

Chelsea equalled United on league points, but at the cost of the players' physical strength, and against Inter Milan, who were close in quality and in full form, it was perhaps the last straw that broke the camel's back.

Lee Seung-bong made some changes in this game, he changed to Antonini at left-back, captain Zanetti played at right midfield, Balotelli was still too young, Diarra also replaced Cambiaso's start, and the game will be dominated by defensive counter-attacks.

Chelsea opened the game without a temptation and went straight to the attack, giving Inter Milan a disadvantage. In the 5th minute, Drogba turned around in the middle and shot from a distance, but the ball was bravely blocked by Cesar. Then a Chelsea corner was fouled by Liverpool and Essien followed up with a long-range shot high.

Inter also had a chance to score, and in the 10th minute, Franck Ribery broke through and Toure crossed diagonally, and Milito's shot from a tight angle on the left flank of the box was saved by Cech. In the 15th minute, Modric's free-kick shot was blocked by the wall. In the 19th minute, Chelsea had a great chance when Frank Lampard's clever pass down the middle was met by Didier Drogba to cut into the box and fired a shot just wide of the right-hand post.

In the 22nd minute, Essien's long-range shot was saved by Cesar, but Zivo was injured. Li Chengfeng had no choice but to replace the veteran Materazzi.

Chelsea took the lead in the 33rd minute of the first half, when Frank Lampard's through ball from near midfield was met by Antonini for a foul tackle, and Kalou broke through and shook off Materazzi's defence to shoot straight at goal, but the ball was blocked by Cesar and followed by Didier Drogba and fired into the bottom right corner. Seeing this goal, Li Chengfeng shook his head, Materazzi is still old, his speed and reaction are not as good as before, and he needs more protection.

Chelsea led Inter Milan 1-0 in the first half, but Lee Seungfeng was not in a hurry, and now it was just a big draw. And if Inter Milan can score one goal in the second half, Chelsea will need to score two goals to turn the tables, and Lee Seungfeng doesn't think Chelsea can do that. Chelsea's players are less energetic than they were when Jose Mourinho did last season, having won all the trophies they could and are less hungry, while Inter Milan are more hungry for trophies.

In the re-battle, there were no substitutions on either side. In the 48th minute, Milito had a great chance, but his close-range effort was denied by Cech. In the 53rd minute, Frank Lampard volleyed in after a short pass from Ballack, and Cesar held on to the ball. In the 63rd minute, Joe Cole's long-range shot was saved by Cesar. In the 64th minute of the game, Toure made a direct pass from the midfield, Ribery broke through with the ball horizontally and sent a wonderful pass, Milito burst into the penalty area and fell to the ground to shoot, the ball hit the bottom right corner of the goal, and Inter Milan tied the score at 1-1!!

Chelsea are in danger right now, Inter Milan have one away goal and they need to win at least two goals to qualify, with less than 30 minutes remaining, which is a very difficult task.

Grant made a desperate bet and replaced Malouda and Anelka to start fighting, but Lee Seungfeng was not willing to dwell on it, he let Inter Milan retreat all the way, and Zanetti regained the position of midfield, making it more difficult for Chelsea's attack, and they could only rely on long-range shots to try their luck, but their luck did not seem to be good today.

In the 76th minute, Essien fired from a tight angle after passing several people on the right, and Cesar, who was about to save the ball, was pushed away by Drogba, and Essien's shot flew into the Inter goal. However, the referee spotted Drogba's action and declared the goal invalid, drawing protests from the Chelsea people, but it did not change the referee's decision, and Drogba also received a yellow card. The Chelseamen were in a hurry, and they started to panic.

In the 86th minute, Materazzi made another mistake when he tackled Ballack in the box and the referee decisively blew a penalty. Frank Lampard then slotted the ball into the bottom right-hand corner to give Chelsea a 2-1 lead. Frank Lampard pulled out the black veil after scoring and dedicated it to his mother. Her mother passed away last week and Frank Lampard's move touched Lee Seung-peak as well, but a game is a game, you die or I live.

Inter equalised just a minute later, with the Chelsea man attacking too hard and revealing too many gaps behind him. Luka Modric counter-attacked with a shot straight from distance and the ball found the top right corner of the Chelsea goal.

The Chelsea men were not reconciled and continued to try to make amends, finally surpassing the score again at the last minute. In the 95th minute, Chelsea played a brilliant triangle from the right, and Nicolas Anelka's low cross was excellent, and Drogba followed up with a flanking shot into the bottom right corner of the net to give Chelsea a 3-2 lead.

But it didn't help, and Chelsea's victory would not change their fate from being knocked out by Inter Milan. They were eliminated due to the lack of away goals. Chelsea can now concentrate on fighting for the league title if United make a mistake. However, such a chance is very small, Sir Alex Ferguson is not the one who will let the opportunity slip away easily, and it will be difficult for Grant to turn positive.

However, Li Chengfeng will not care about Grant's fate, he only cares about his own life. The next game will be the Milan derby, and the next one will be the second leg of the Coppa Italia against Lazio, where Inter Milan played 0-0 at home to Lazio, and will need to win away from Lazio to reach the final.
