The ball bounced off the crossbar and returned to the box.

This time, though, it was the Chelsea players who grabbed the spot.

Gallas got ahead of Joao and cleared the ball with a big kick.

The referee didn't look at whether the ball was out of the sideline or out of the bottom line, and blew the whistle directly.

The game is over......

0:2 in the first leg and 2:1 in the second leg, Aachen lost the quarterfinals of the Champions League with an aggregate score of 2:3.

The Chelsea players celebrated wildly.

It was almost a decade ago that Chelsea reached the Champions League for the first time.

Prior to that, Chelsea had only won the European Cup Winners' Cup once.

It is also Chelsea's only title in Europe.

On top of that, Chelsea have been fighting for relegation, and even almost went bankrupt!

At that time, businessman Bates stepped up to pay Chelsea's debts and reclaim Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home turf.

In the 90s, Chelsea embarked on a resurgence by bringing in a group of ageing superstars.

Chelsea are slowly transforming into a powerhouse in the Premier League.

What made Chelsea undergo a second metamorphosis was still a businessman.

Roman Abramovich, the Russian oligarch, with his deep pockets, almost allowed Chelsea to cross the threshold from a strong team to a giant!

Fans remember the credit of the owner, and from the stands at Stamford Bridge, the fans shouted the names of the players and also the name of Abou.

In front of the TV, Abu smiled smugly.

As it turned out, his actions were still effective.

However, when he saw the old man standing in the coach's box, his smile retracted.

In Abu's eyes, if Chelsea want to really cross that threshold and become a real European giant, the only thing they lack now is a good manager.

Ranieri, on the other hand, is clearly not the person he has in mind.

The facts are in front of him, a game with such a big advantage was almost overturned in his hands!

Abu sat in front of the TV, and his heart was beating several times, and the dissatisfaction in his heart can be imagined.

You know, last season, in order to bring in reinforcements for the team, he took out hundreds of millions of euros like this, without even blinking an eye.

The result?

Ranieri with such a "luxurious" team was almost overturned?

Abu smiled at this moment, but what was going on in his heart, even Yelena beside him didn't know.

As for Aachen?

It's a pity that the loser won't be noticed, and all you can do is cover your face and leave!

Zhuo Cunzhi lowered his head and staggered along......

However, it was not entirely unnoticed by him.

Frank Lampard finished celebrating, and when he came back to his senses, he began to look for him.

"Frank, give me this chance." The captain patted him on the shoulder, "Anyway, you still have a chance in the future." ”

Lampard stopped and nodded.

"Hey! Brat! ”

The voice from behind, Zhuo Cunzhi ignored it.

It's hard to say whether he heard it or not.

The next moment, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

"Boy, call you!"

Zhuo Cunzhi looked back and saw that it was Chelsea's captain Desailly.

“……”

"Your eyes are really scary." Desailly quipped, "Come on, change your jersey." ”

"You're here to laugh at me?" Zhuo Cunzhi asked.

"Laughing?" Desailly shook his head and smiled, "You're still young, and you'll have time to win the championship in the future." ”

After saying that, Desailly also seemed a little melancholy.

"And I, after playing this season, I guess I'll retire."

As he spoke, Desailly took off his jersey and stuffed it into Zhuo Cunzhi's hand, "If you don't change it with me now, you won't have a chance in the future." ”

"......" Zhuo Cunzhi did not answer, and after a while, he took off his jersey.

After getting the shirt, Desailly didn't say much, laughed and left.

As a winner, no matter what you say at this time, it is nothing more than mockery.

If the body is still at its peak, how interesting it would be to match this kid......

With regret, Desailly turned around and left.

With greater regret, Zhuo Cunzhi turned his head and left.

On the way, Aachen's teammates walked towards the players' tunnel one by one.

There is very little communication between each other.

Losing the ball, trying their best but still losing, everyone is very uncomfortable.

Especially Zhuo Cunzhi, seeing his appearance, no one else came up to talk, and even Joao was taken away by Berndra.

After all his teammates took the first step, Zhuo Cunzhi looked at the jersey in his hand, and suddenly felt that his nose was sore, and it was so difficult to breathe.

Zhuo Cunzhi hurriedly covered his mouth and quickly stepped over the last few steps before the player's tunnel.

In the stands, reporters who thought they were quick to shoot this scene.

In the photo, Zhuo Cunzhi's eyes were red.

…………

Aachen lost badly, and in the second leg Aachen showed a strong fighting spirit.

It's not just Zhuo Cunzhi, but every player in Aachen has done their best.

In the end, they are one step away from working miracles!

However, many times, the distance of a step is no different from the moat.

After the game, the reporters mainly reported that Chelsea entered the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in history!

Although Ranieri knew that his performance in this game was not good, he was almost overturned by Aachen.

However, how can I say that he also led the team to refresh the team's history, so he won't be fired for such a result, right?

Ranieri was a little uneasy, but more than that, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ranieri then spoke about the possibility of reaching the Champions League final.

After the restructuring of the Champions League, the knockout stage will determine the quarterfinals, and only one draw is required.

That is to say, after this draw, the opponents of the quarterfinals, semifinals and finals have been determined.

It would take almost a decade for this rule to change to three draws.

Chelsea's semi-final opponents after the win over Aachen are the winners of Real Madrid and Monaco.

There is hardly any need to discuss this, and against a second-tier European team like Monaco, Real Madrid is unlikely to lose.

"The chances of us reaching the final are low." Ranieri was blunt.

Abu, who learned about this afterwards, was very dissatisfied with this.

However, neither Aachen's defeat nor Ranieri's speech made much of a splash.

In fact, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, another match on the same day was even more eye-catching.

That is, the game in which Real Madrid played Monaco away.

3:1。

International convention, with the home team in front and the away team behind, Real Madrid lost this game.

As for the first match between the two sides, it was played 4:2.

In this way, both teams have scored a total of 5 goals, and the aggregate score is 5:5.

Counting away goals, Monaco scored 2 and Real Madrid 1.

With this slight advantage, Monaco came close to the semi-finals strongly!

"The Galactic Battleship is sinking!"
