Liverpool and Manchester United drew 1-1, and the first leg of the semi-final in the other half of the Champions League was also a draw, with Barcelona held to a 0-0 draw at home by Chelsea.

Liverpool and Manchester United this game, although after the game Ferguson criticized the referee for thinking that Liu Ting's counterattack goal was improper, but in general the penalty of this game was not too controversial, after the game replay Ronaldo's fall before Xavi Alonso did not foul, but as soon as someone touched Ronaldo, he fell to the ground and wanted a penalty, but was counterattacked by Liverpool, a bit of a taste of stealing chickens and rice.

For being criticized for faking falls, Ronaldo is also commonplace, he himself also said in front of reporters before the World Footballer of the Year award: "Only great players will fake falls, because they are always guarded by opponents, Maradona and Pele are very good at faking falls, Maradona also used a handball goal to make him the king of the ball, I don't think there is anything wrong with faking falls." ”

Because of this remark, when Ronaldo later claimed that he was better than Pele and Maradona, others responded with "His fake fall is indeed better than Pele and Maradona combined".

Liverpool and Manchester United did not have much of a problem with the decision, while Barcelona and Chelsea on the other side were controversial.

The referee for the match between Barcelona and Chelsea was German Stark, and his decision was controversial.

There was a clear foul on Thierry Henry in the box by Chelsea defender Bosingwa in the game, and Stark turned a blind eye to it, which was a point of contention.

The rest is that Chelsea used lethal tactics in this game, but the German referee's penalty scale was particularly lenient, and it was normal for many big moves to be signaled by him.

The most obvious is that Ballack, who is also a German with the referee, limited Iniesta throughout the game, his way is that Iniesta shovels people as soon as he gets the ball, shovels Iniesta does not dare to dribble the ball, and passes it out as soon as he gets the ball, Ballack who defends with this method only received a yellow card, and when Iniesta received the ball once and was ready to shoot, Ballack came up with a cloud palm to greet Iniesta's face, but the referee did not say anything.

All in all, the referee's scale gave Chelsea a big advantage, so they held Barcelona to a 0-0 draw away from home, with Chelsea taking the lead and believing that the initiative for promotion had shifted to Chelsea's side.

There is a reason why Barcelona are not favored, the Barcelona trident of Messi, Henry and Eto'o has been kept clean at home for the first time this season, Barcelona captain Puyol will accumulate yellow cards and be suspended in the second leg, and Barcelona will go to Real Madrid away next weekend.

In the middle of the season, Barcelona led Real Madrid by as many as 12 points, but then Barcelona fought on the third line and Real Madrid only had one line in the league, and Real Madrid, who was concentrating on the league, had chased the score closer, and now it is only 4 points behind Barcelona, if it can beat Barcelona at home, Real Madrid will only be 1 point behind, and at that time the suspense of the La Liga championship is back, and Real Madrid will definitely not let Barcelona have a good time, which is considered a close game.

Therefore, the media believe that even if Barcelona beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, it will be a laborious and narrow victory, and even if they can't get three points in a hard game, it will be difficult for the exhausted Barcelona to beat Chelsea in London.

From the history of Barcelona, in the European competition experienced the home and away schedule, Barcelona has not been forced to draw at home and away to qualify, the most recent is last season's Champions League semi-finals, Barcelona was forced to draw 0:0 at home by Manchester United, to Old Trafford Barcelona lost 0:1 to Manchester United and was blocked out of the final.

In this context, Barcelona's mouthpiece began to make all kinds of hype under the theme of 'protecting art football', and the Catalan newspaper clearly reminded UEFA that Platini should protect an attacking football art football team like Barcelona and not let the referee's mediocrity and rough fouls ruin the game.

Chelsea didn't react to this, thinking that it was just that Barcelona couldn't afford to lose and screamed everywhere, but Liu Ting knew that when he waited for the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Chelsea would be miserable when he returned to his home stadium.

The second leg of the semi-finals doesn't start until midweek, with a Premier League game just around the weekend.

Liverpool are facing Newcastle United, who are currently in 18th place, and Manchester United are facing 19th-placed Middlesbrough, both against relegation teams in the relegation zone.

In the face of the relegation team, no one can say that it is easy to win, Manchester United and Liverpool are both likely to capsize.

Manchester United's make-up time for one round less has been confirmed, which will be played between the 36th and 37th rounds of the Premier League on 13 May.

On May 2, the 35th round of the English Premier League arrived, and Manchester United played four hours early, and they beat Middlesbrough 2-0 away to get three points, temporarily surpassing Liverpool to rise to the top of the table.

In the evening, Liverpool's home game against Newcastle United arrived, and Owen returned to Anfield, albeit on the bench this time.

Gerrard started the game after returning from injury, with Liverpool switching to 442 with Torres recently injured, with Xavi Alonso, Mascherano, Gerrard and Luka Modric starting today.

In the 22nd minute, Liu Ting received a pass from Xavi Alonso and scored a powerful volley from the left side of the penalty area to help Liverpool take the lead, and Liu Ting's consecutive league goals or assists will continue.

In the 28th minute, Kuyt scored with a header from a corner kick, and Liverpool extended the score to 2:0.

Luka Modric also scored in the second half to seal the win for Liverpool, who beat Newcastle United 3-0 at home, but were still on the same points as Manchester United with a game in hand, and relied on goal difference to return to the top of the table.

Gerrard, who started from injury, performed averagely, it can only be said that he was in the middle, and it seems that he is still looking for form, and Liverpool's former golden boy Owen did not perform very well on the bench for Newcastle United in the second half, but received some boos, and it seems that there are always some fans who are unhappy about his departure that year.

The suspense of the Premier League title will continue, Liverpool currently has 80 points with 23 wins, 11 draws and 1 loss, and Manchester United, who have one less round, is 25 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses with 80 points, but Liverpool has 9 more than Manchester United on goal difference.

Chelsea are in third place with 74 points, Arsenal are in fourth place with 68 points, and Aston Villa in fifth place are already 10 points behind Arsenal after this round, and with only three games left in the league, they have lost the Champions League qualification in advance, and Villa only have an FA Cup title to fight for Chelsea.

In the league scorer list, Nicolas Anelka scored a goal in Chelsea's 3-1 win over Fulham in this round, bringing the number of goals to 17, as many as Cristiano Ronaldo, but the top scorer is still Torres, who has scored 18 goals but is injured.

Liu Ting's league goals reached 13 after scoring in this round, ranking fifth in the scorer list, ahead of Gerrard, Cristiano Ronaldo, Anelka and Torres, and Liverpool occupies three of the top five scorers in the league.

The assists list is advantageous, Liu Ting's 14 assists rank first, followed by Frank Lampard with 10 assists, and Liu Ting has almost locked up the best assister with only three rounds left in the league.

Liverpool's final three opponents are West Ham United, West Bromwich Albion, who are almost relegated from the bottom table, and Tottenham Hotspur, who are in the final round.

There is only one thing that could cause Liverpool problems: Tottenham.

Manchester United's final three opponents are Manchester City in the next round, Arsenal in the penultimate round and Hull City in the final round, with a make-up match against Portsmouth in the first round.

Portsmouth is in the middle of the table, Hull City has not succeeded in relegation but there is not much pressure, it is difficult for these two teams to make trouble for Manchester United, it still depends on whether Manchester City and Arsenal can make trouble for Manchester United, these two Manchester United only need to lose one and Liverpool wins the rest of the games, then the championship is Liverpool's, because it is difficult to recover 9 goal difference with only three rounds left.

The good thing for Manchester United is that the games against Manchester City and Arsenal are played at home.

The Premier League title situation is still complicated, but the big four have occupied four Champions League places in advance, and Manchester City, who have invested a lot of money this season to challenge the status of the big four, is likely to not even qualify for the League Cup.

This weekend's game, the most shocking game in Europe came in La Liga, where Real Madrid was slaughtered 2-6 at home by Barcelona in the national derby, which was nothing short of a tragedy that shocked Europe.

No one expected that what was thought to be a big battle between Mars and Earth would turn into a one-sided slaughter, and there were even more media outlets who even thought Real Madrid would win at home before the game, but the result was so unimaginable.

Messi and Thierry Henry both scored twice, Pique and Puyol added the icing on the cake, and Messi also proved his status as Europe's hottest star.

It was Real Madrid's worst defeat to Barcelona in an official match, but it was not the biggest score in a Spanish derby, as Real Madrid beat Barcelona 11-1 in the Copa del Rey and 8-2 in the league.

The 11:1 victory over Barcelona was a fantasy game, that year in the Spanish Copa del Rey Real Madrid met Barcelona, the first leg Barcelona first defeated Real Madrid 3:0 at home, the second leg came to Madrid, Barcelona led 1:0 in the first half, at halftime a bunch of soldiers rushed into the away team's dressing room with machine guns, and then in the second half Real Madrid scored 11 goals in a row to reverse Barcelona.

It was the era of the Spanish dictator Franco, who liked Real Madrid and Barcelona, and that was the magical scene, which was repeatedly shown by FIFA that football could not be interfered with by the government.

However, this is useless, the football associations of countries in Asia and Africa are basically subordinate institutions of the government, and the government just controls the football association in a different situation, even in Europe, the football association is also involved with the government, but the independence is relatively higher.

This fiasco made Real Madrid lose the competition for the La Liga title, and the Madrid media said that "Barcelona ended La Liga".

There are only 4 rounds left in La Liga, Barcelona is 7 points ahead of Real Madrid, La Liga is the same points as the priority to compare the relationship between wins and losses, Barcelona 2:0 at home and 6:2 away Madrid this season, that is to say, the next 4 rounds Barcelona only need to get 5 points to win the championship, Barcelona has obvious advantages, Guardiola continues to lead the team towards the treble, Barcelona has reached the final of the Spanish Copa del Rey, and the league has obvious advantages, only the Champions League needs to cross Chelsea to enter the final.

The most direct impact is that the pressure on Chelsea has increased, and many people have come forward to say that Barcelona can eliminate Chelsea away from home.

At the same time, Barcelona's mouthpiece once again began to reiterate the slogan of protecting art football, and Barcelona's 6-2 away win over Real Madrid was used as an example, claiming that it was a game without ugly interference, as if it was a crime not to take care of Barca.

If the Real Madrid players knew they were going to lose so badly, they would have been willing to learn from Chelsea and play as ugly as they could.
