Chapter 674: Ligue 1 won the championship eight rounds ahead of schedule
At 20:45 on the evening of March 12, with the referee's whistle, the second leg of the 2013/2014 Champions League 1/8 final between Paris Saint-Germain and Bayer Leverkusen officially began.
A narrow defeat in the first leg and an away goal.
Historically, the home team has a higher chance of advancing than the visitors after returning to home in the second leg.
After all, they only need a 1-0 to solve the problem.
However, this is only a probability, and the probability is only fifty percent versus forty percent, and the difference is not very large.
Bayer Leverkusen lead on aggregate and can knock out Paris Saint-Germain to advance to the quarter-finals as long as there is an away draw.
That's why Blanco had a massive rotation in the last round of the league.
Because that league game can be lost, but this Champions League game can't afford to draw.
The Middle East boss spent 150 million to bring in Lu Wenbin, but it was not to win the French championship won by Paris last season.
The only goal of Paris this season is to win the Champions League!
Of course, it would be better if we could win the treble.
Anyway, this Champions League game can't be lost.
The weather was also good, no rain.
After the start of the game, Bayer Leverkusen continued to press full-court as in the previous game.
However, today's Paris Saint-Germain is no longer the Paris Saint-Germain of the last game.
With no rain, good turf, home stadium and the home fans cheering them on, PSG used their technical skills to completely stun Bayer Leverkusen.
Especially Lu Wenbin, who can sudden, pass and shoot, is all-round in attack and defense, and his luck is not as unlucky as in the first round.
So, in the only 9th minute of the opening game, Lu Wenbin broke through Leverkusen's goal with a low shot from the forbidden area after connecting two people.
Paris Saint-Germain led 1-0 and drew 2-2 over two legs, but PSG had an away goal to Bayer Leverkusen without.
If the match ends with this scoreline, Bayer Leverkusen will be eliminated with a disadvantage of fewer away goals.
The situation turned around in a flash, and it turned against Leverkusen.
Bayer Leverkusen had to step up their attack and try to turn the tide with a goal.
But Paris Saint-Germain, which has returned to normal in terms of technique, tactics and luck, is really not something that Leverkusen can resist.
In the 28th minute, Lu Wenbin launched an attack, Ibrahimovic broke through on the left side of the forbidden area and crossed into the forbidden area, Ravic met the ball and scored angrily, and Paris led Leverkusen 2-0.
In the 41st minute, fullback Maxwell suddenly stepped forward to assist, a diagonal cross from a 45-degree angle, Lu Wenbin rushed into the forbidden area and rushed to the top of the goal.
Paris Saint-Germain had already led 3-0 in the second leg and 4-2 in the second leg, and until the end of the first half, Bayer Leverkusen could not score a single goal.
In the second half, PSG continued to press Bayer Leverkusen and scored two more goals in the second half.
Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, only pulled a point back through a free kick in the 74th minute, but in the end they lost 5-1 to Grand Paris over two legs and were eliminated with an aggregate score of 3-6 over the two legs.
Paris Saint-Germain defeated Bayer Leverkusen to advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
That's the normal scenario, and Bayer Leverkusen's victory in the first leg was just a matter of chance.
With the end of the Champions League 1/8 finals, the 2013/2014 Champions League quarterfinals have all been released, namely Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Dortmund, Chelsea.
These eight teams are all the top teams in the eight groups in the group stage, which is the first time in the ten years since the Champions League was restructured.
The top eight teams are all teams from the five major leagues, but La Liga occupies three places, which shows that it is strong. Serie A was wiped out, and Serie A, which was originally known as the mini-World Cup, completely declined.
The draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League is on March 21, after PSG play a league game.
On March 16, in the 29th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain hosted Saint-Etienne.
With the score at 4-0 on the big screen after 90 minutes, PSG secured another big home win to extend their unbeaten run and winning streak this season.
After this round, Paris Saint-Germain has 87 points, while second-placed Monaco has only 62 points, and Paris is 25 points ahead of Monaco.
With a total of 38 rounds of Ligue 1 with nine rounds to end, Grand Paris is close to winning the championship ahead of schedule.
One more win and the Grand Paris points will reach 90 points.
Monaco, on the other hand, will only have 65 points even if they continue to win, while Paris will win the title eight rounds ahead of schedule with 25 points of lead with eight league games remaining.
Therefore, on the evening of March 21, in the 30th round of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain played away against Lorient, and the French Football Association brought the championship trophy to the scene.
However, during the day, UEFA first conducted the Champions League quarter-final draw.
The draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League will not be seeded, and teams from the same country will not have to shy away.
The final draw result was Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid in La Liga civil war, Borussia Dortmund met Real Madrid, and Manchester United vs Bayern Munich.
Paris Saint-Germain drew Chelsea, and with good luck, it was better than meeting Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Manchester United and the like.
After the draw, it will be the evening when Grand Paris plays Lorient away.
In this game, which is related to whether Paris can win the championship in advance, Paris Saint-Germain, who played its main role, continued the form of the previous game and easily controlled the game.
In the 14th minute, Lu Wenbin opened the scoring for Paris Saint-Germain with a direct shot from a zero degree angle in a corner kick, and Grand Paris led 1-0 away.
In the 35th minute, Lu Wenbin split the side, Ravic crossed the bottom, and Ibrahimovic sent the ball into the opponent's goal with a wonderful scorpion tail swing in the forbidden area.
In the 43rd minute, Lu Wenbin scored a brace and scored the third goal of Grand Paris.
In the 68th minute of the second half, Lu Wenbin scored another goal to lock the score at 4-0, and Grand Paris won 4-0 away.
The game was not far from over, and the substitutes on the sidelines and the big Parisian fans in the stands were already celebrating.
Although this is the first match of the round of 30, the Monaco match will not even be played until tomorrow.
But no matter what happens to second-placed Monaco, Grand Paris, who have won 30 consecutive league games this season, have 90 points and have already won the 2013/2014 Ligue 1 title eight games ahead of schedule.
Amid the cheers of thousands of Parisian fans in attendance, Paris Saint-Germain lifted the Ligue 1 trophy eight rounds ahead of schedule.
