Immediately after being eliminated from the FA Cup, Lee and his team gathered the emotions of the fans and headed to Craven Farm Stadium in the west of London on the River Thames on April Fool's Day, where they faced their city brother Fulham.

Nicknamed The Farmer, the latter has had a terrible season and is currently deep in the relegation zone and will have to win all of their final three games to have any chance of avoiding relegation. It's a pity that the strength of the team is too bad, and the top scorer Serbian center Mitrovic is still out due to injury, and this level is naturally not cheap in front of Arsenal.

A 2-0 defeat has all but sealed a relegation place for Fulham and the Gunners have finally moved up to fourth place in the league table, with a Champions League place already beckoning for them next season.

Arsenal also had their wish to be rewarded thanks to Liverpool's help, as the Reds beat Manchester United, who had been overwhelmed by midweek 2-1 away games, indirectly shuffling the battle for European qualification. With only two league games remaining, the Gunners have 75 points, Manchester United and Chelsea are tied on 73 points, and they are still in a fierce competition for the final Champions League ticket.

At the same time, the ownership of the Premier League champion, which was almost certain, has also changed, in order to prepare for the showdown with Barcelona, Manchester City has also hidden a lot of main players in this round, and the result is 0-0 at home by Everton, which has narrowed their lead to 4 points, and there is a theoretical possibility of being counterattacked by Liverpool.

This situation has made the other five Premier League giants except Tottenham Hotspur face an uncertain ending situation, especially Manchester City and Arsenal are still in a difficult mode of fighting on two fronts, which brings great uncertainty to the end of the season, but also creates a lot of suspense, stimulating the Premier League, which is already leading the world football in terms of the ball market, to become more eye-catching.

The remaining seven games on Sunday's kick-off were not only full, but four of them were also filled with temporary seating, which continued to boost the Premier League's attendance and make the envy of the other major leagues except the Bundesliga.

And this huge amount of attention also came in the Champions League next week, when the 11,000 tickets for Arsenal's first-leg home game against Real Madrid were sold out in less than a minute after they were opened online, and this was when the Gunners' membership priority was kept low.

Had it not been for UEFA's refusal, the Gunners hierarchy would have done something to set up temporary seats in the stands, after all, the attendance at the Emirates Stadium had dropped significantly in the first half of the season due to the team's results. Although it will return to full form after November, the difference in income caused by the previous period compared to last season is no longer compensable. Their desire to increase their turnover as much as possible is understandable, after all, the family is big, and no matter how frugal they are, they can't save much money, so they still have to find a way to open source.

As for the second leg of the Bernabeu battle, because of the need to take care of Real Madrid members, in addition to the 3,000 tickets left for the away team, the number of tickets that can be sold to the outside world is only about 2,500 at most, which cannot meet the needs of the outside world at all, so that the ticket price has been speculated to a crazy price of 4,000 euros per ticket, and it is still priceless.

It's no wonder that teams from all countries are squeezing their heads to get the right to participate in the Champions League, which is not only the impact of honor, but also involves a large amount of income, even local tycoons such as the Premier League giants can't easily say the words of giving up.

On April 5, the night of the traditional Qingming Festival of the Celestial Empire, the first meeting between Arsenal and Real Madrid officially kicked off in the city of London, attracting many big-name stars to watch the game. In addition to a number of big names in the film and television industry, Raul, who is working in the UK and is also rumored to be running for the new Real Madrid president, also appeared in the stands of the Emirates Stadium and became the object of frequent care by the broadcast camera.

But with the whistle of the referee Kargil from Turkey, everyone's attention returned to the green field, and the dialogue between the world's No. 1 football giant and the newly revived English artistic football representative is naturally worth the attention of all fans throughout the whole process.

And this game did not live up to everyone's expectations, only two minutes into the tee off before a small high. Tide. Ceballos and Toni Kroos completed a series of passes in midfield with the assistance of Isco and other team-mates, and finally the German veteran sent a sharp diagonal through ball that gave Asensio the opportunity to move forward at high speed.

Real Madrid's new No.7 took advantage of the change of tempo to fool the somewhat aggressive Kolasinac, and immediately cut inside the middle and burst into the home team's box in two steps.

Li Mudi's back four positions today do not make them very strong in the middle, and the speed of Diego Llorente and Harry Maguire is slightly above the passing line, so it will naturally look a little embarrassing to face the vitality of Mbappe and Asensio. Fortunately, in terms of experience, the Gunners still have the upper hand, and with the help of Ndidi, who can run all over the field, even if Real Madrid's right winger's cross is accurate enough, Mbappe's rush in the middle is still greatly disturbed, and his former teammate Llorente successfully blocked the danger.

Ceballos then delivered a brilliant long-range shot from 30 yards out in the middle of the net, which went around Torreira and headed for the intersection of the right-hand post and crossbar. In the end, it was a little off because of the excessive pursuit of angles, but it was enough to make the home team dare not be careless.

However, the Gunners fans were not depressed for long, and in the seventh minute, the Spanish high school striker also produced a dangerous attack, after receiving a diagonal cross from the right side of Belasino, he first chested it. The subordinate stopped the ball steadily, and then immediately came sideways with a volley, and the back and forth movements were extremely fast and fluid.

Unfortunately, Varane's left leg arrived in time to keep the ball out of the line, leaving the home supporters in the scene sighing.

Forty seconds later, an even louder exclamation took over the pitch as Harry Maguire beat Raphael Varane from a corner kick from Balco and delivered a powerful header that was denied off the post by Thibaut Courtois with a brilliant flying sideways save and Arsenal missed a good chance to take the lead.

Set-pieces are one of the home team's strengths, whether it is directly on goal or passed to the high point in front of the goal, the Gunners are better than their opponents, so they are considered by the outside world to be a big weapon that they may beat the defending champions.

So what are the advantages of Real Madrid? Mbappe may not be able to outperform Bellerin, who is in his prime, in absolute speed, but the French star can use his excellent technique to test the defender's anticipation and ankle strength while running at high speed with the ball, which is a headache for all defenders.

Coupled with the flexible Isco and Asensio's magic-like footwork, if it is not based on the numerical advantage, Arsenal wants to limit the opponent's super trident, and the difficulty can be said to be hellish.

When these two strengths are compared, one can naturally understand why the two teams will try to change the pace of the game to completely different styles when they are in possession of the ball. The home side were hoping to play a slow-paced positional battle for the whole matchup, while the visitors were trying to speed up the ball and get their opponents to run with them and find holes in the Gunners' defence to deliver the fatal blow.

It's going to be a test of the playmaker at the heart of both teams' midfield, and Real Madrid's Toni Kroos needless to say, as one of the world's top passers and midfield metronomes, the German has proven himself to be trusted by all over the past decade. Arsenal don't have a clear core of passing, but Llorente, Torreira and Balco, who are on three lines, form a set of adjustable engines that cover the whole pitch and can be used in a variety of ways to achieve the pace set by the manager.

In this game, for example, the Spanish centre-back drastically reduced his long-distance passing, which he is best at, and even in the face of fierce high pressing from the opposing front, he was able to pass the ball to his teammates through his personal skills and excellent passing skills. The Uruguayan in the middle of the pack has increased his already above-average running distance, actively helped his teammates create a line of action by pulling and reducing the desire to shoot from distance when the chances are not particularly good, and became the team's central point of transmitting the ball.

As for Balco, he did not deliberately reduce some attempts to threaten the ball for fear of passing mistakes, but his range of movement was much larger than normal, and he often launched a kraft counter-attack immediately after conceding the ball, interfering with the passes of Real Madrid defenders, thereby reducing the chances of the opponent playing a quick counter-attack.

This is a classic battle of control and counter-control, suppression and anti-inhibition, the two sides can be said to meet opponents, will meet good talents, and it is rare to play a high-quality duel in such an important stage of the semi-finals, which has been highly praised by commentators and experts from all over the world.

However, whenever the game is the most important to divide the winner and loser, especially if neither team chooses to be conservative, the possibility of a draw is infinitely narrowed. Arsenal's hunger for victory is obvious, as if they fail to take the lead at home turf, the prospect of a trip to the Bernabeu in two weeks is very bleak.

On the contrary, Real Madrid did not choose to avoid the limelight when the back line was tight, which was somewhat unexpected by the outside world, but Guti's post-match statement that he hoped to win the game as soon as possible so that the team's attention could be diverted back to the domestic league was somewhat credible. After all, they are tied with city rivals Atletico Madrid with the last three rounds of La Liga, and the two sides will have the same relationship between the two legs, and it is likely that the title will be decided by goal difference. For the Galacticos, who have missed out on the league crown for four seasons, it is also an honor that they need to strive for.

It's just that Guti and his disciples still underestimate Arsenal's current strength, even though the latter won two important trophies in the Premier League and Europa League last season, even if they have shown a strong rebound after the injury wave this season has passed, and even if they know the magic of Li Mudi far better than others, but in the eyes of Real Madrid, who claim to be the best club in the world, the Gunners are still a second-class opponent, less dangerous than Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City and Liverpool.

The Fourteenth Master believes that although his friend can develop a counter-attacking tactic that is intimidating to other teams, it is just the most basic routine of Real Madrid, with the world's fastest central defender Varane and Odriosola and Theo, who also have good ability in this regard, plus his own better front trident, the chances of winning away from home should not be small.

However, Li Mudi unexpectedly used an extremely rare positional offensive tactic in this game, and directly slapped the high school striker Chuma in the penalty area of Real Madrid, which made the La Liga giants feel very uncomfortable, and as a result, they were passive in tactical matchups.

Before the end of the first half, Belasino's cross from the right was barely cleared by Skriniar, who was locked in a battle with Chuma, but the second drop was won by Torreira, whose non-stop volley hit compatriot Valverde's shin guard and changed line, which made Courtois's heart chill after making a save.

Fortunately, luck was on Real Madrid's side this time, and the ball grazed the other side of the goal post and flew out of the bottom line, without causing a tragedy.

However, the score of 0-0 could not be maintained until the break, and Arsenal finally knocked on the door of the opponent with this corner, and under the cover of Maguire and Chuma's two highs, Diego Llorente fended off Theo in the middle of the box and scored with a hammer to give the home side the lead.

Theoretically, a one-goal defeat away from home would have been acceptable, but Guti did not change tactics after the restart, instead replacing Odriosola with Carvajal in the first half, hoping to score an away goal.

However, his wishful thinking was soon shattered, and Balco's brilliant direct free-kick in the 63rd minute widened the gap to two goals, and it was only then that the Real Madrid boss, who felt that the situation was not good, finally made a move to solidify the defence, but it was too late.

The home side's young homegrown winger, Jadon Sancho, burst into the box in the 74th minute to create a controversial penalty, and Balco scored a brace to help Arsenal beat their formidable opponents by three goals at home, and one foot was already on the pitch of the final.
