On April 16, all the matches in the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals were completed, and all the teams that advanced to the Champions League semifinals were born.

Barcelona beat Villarreal 2-1 at home to knock out the Yellow Submarine 5-2 on aggregate, while Chelsea drew 2-2 at home to Arsenal and eliminated Arsenal 4-2 on aggregate over two legs and will meet Barcelona in the semi-finals.

In the other half, Manchester United, who drew 2-2 in the first leg, beat Porto 1-0 away to complete the first win for an English team in Portugal and beat Porto 3-2 on aggregate to advance.

As for Liverpool, at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich scored a goal from Ribery in the first half, and in the second half, Bale's cross from the side scored Torres's powerful goal, this away goal completely shattered the opponent's dream of promotion, and Liverpool eliminated Bayern Munich 1:1 on aggregate 3:1 in the second leg.

Liverpool will face Manchester United in the semi-finals of the Champions League, which will be the first English red derby in the history of the Champions League, and Liverpool have never met Manchester United in the Champions League before, so it will be a game that will be quite watched.

Of course, when it comes to the Champions League semi-finals, no matter which one is in the spotlight, but the first Champions League meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United is still very interesting.

For the third year in a row, Premier League teams once again occupy three semi-final spots, and the British media have been touting the Premier League as the world's number one league.

This reminded Liu Ting of Manchester United and Chelsea winning the Champions League final last summer, and a European commentator said: "Whether it is Manchester United players or Chelsea players, they can focus on playing the Champions League final with peace of mind, because the whole summer is their holiday." ”

It is ironic that the Premier League team won the Champions League final, but the England national team could not make it to the European Championship that year.

Another thing is that this year's Champions League semi-finals are exactly the same as last year's Champions League semi-finals, and they are still the same four teams, Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool, except that last year it was Chelsea who played Liverpool and Manchester United who played Barcelona, and this year they changed opponents.

This is the first time in the history of the Champions League that these four teams are already considered to be the four strongest in Europe.

At the same time, Liverpool, Chelsea and Manchester United are also in the Champions League semi-finals for the third consecutive year, and the situation of three Premier League teams encircling a team in other leagues has been the third year in a row, the 06/07 season was Kaka and AC Milan came out of the siege to steal the title, and last year's 07/08 season was the semi-final Barcelona was eliminated by Manchester United, so the Premier League won the final.

What will this year be like? This is the most discussed issue in European football at the moment.

In the Champions League scorer list, the top 7 players in this round of the game did not score, the scorer list has not changed much, Messi ranks first with 8 goals, Gerrard and Klose are tied for 2nd with 7 goals, Porto's Lopes ranks 4th with 6 goals, Liu Ting and Henry, Drogba, Van Persie, Adebayor, Piero and Benzema 6 people are tied for 5th with 5 goals, Van Persie, Drogba and Adebayor are catching up after scoring in this round.

Due to Gerrard's injury, it is almost certain that he will miss the first leg of the semi-finals, Klose is injured and his Bayern has been eliminated, and Lopez's Porto has also been eliminated, Messi's top scorer list is still very solid, only Liu Ting and Drogba have a chance to catch up with him in the first leg, but both have only 5 goals, even if the hat trick in the first leg of the semi-finals can only be tied with Messi, but so far, only Piero has completed the Champions League semi-final hat trick.

Fernando Torres did not score in the Champions League group stage, scored a goal against Real Madrid in the round of 16 after the knockout round, and just scored a goal against Bayern, with only two Champions League goals in total.

However, Torres tops the league scorers' charts, rising to the top of the scorers list with 16 league goals after scoring twice in the previous league game, and he has scored as many goals as Nicolas Anelka, who helped Chelsea to the same 16, with Torres topping the scorers charts with fewer appearances.

Liverpool's second highest league goal is Steven Gerrard, who has scored 13 league goals so far, Liu Ting missed 8 rounds in the league but ranks third in the team with 10 league goals, but Liu Ting's assists are the most, Liu Ting currently has 13 assists, is the most attacking player in the Premier League, 4 more than Lampard in the second place, and it is very likely to get the assist king with only 6 rounds left in the Premier League.

Returning from Germany, Liverpool FC held a commemoration of the Heathborough tragedy at Anfield.

The stadium was almost full of fans, only the 96 seats in the front row were vacated, and the scene was silent, and every time the bell rang, the priest read a name, and everyone listened quietly.

Then Kenneda Glish came out to give a eulogy, other Liverpool legends such as Ian Rush were also on the scene, and manager Heynckes released 96 balloons.

The whole Liverpool team naturally sat on the sidelines, and this was the first time Liu Ting participated in the commemorative event.

The Champions League semi-finals don't start until the end of April, with Liverpool still having two league games to play, and the upcoming 33rd round of the Premier League is a tough game for Liverpool to play at home to Arsenal.

This season, the four giants of the Premier League played against each other, Liverpool doubled Manchester United and Chelsea, but only won a 1:1 draw at the Emirates Stadium in the first leg against Arsenal, Liverpool also needs to be cautious in this game against Arsenal, although Liverpool is still 2 points ahead of Manchester United, but the opponent has been a big hidden danger with one less round.

The Liverpool and Arsenal match was postponed for three days in favour of the FA Cup.

The league match time is also the day of the FA Cup semi-finals, Arsenal have to participate in the FA Cup semi-finals, the game can only be postponed, and now it is the end of the season, and the FA Cup semi-finals teams Manchester United Chelsea and other teams have been postponed for three days.

In the FA Cup semi-finals, Arsenal lost 1-2 at home to Chelsea and missed the final, Arsenal lost all four in another season, and the big-mouthed Mourinho did not forget to mock his old rivals when he arrived in Italy, he said in front of reporters: "The Premier League is a manager's paradise, where you don't feel too much pressure because you don't win in a short period of time, you can plan for the long term." Like Arsene Wenger, his results have been consistent, he hasn't touched a trophy for four years in a row, but he's in a safe position. ”

In the other semi-final, Aston Villa drew 0:0 away to Manchester United, and finally eliminated Manchester United on penalties to advance to the final.

Alex Ferguson's dream of winning all the trophies has been dashed, with Villa, who eliminated Manchester United, becoming heroes. However, Villa are getting further and further off the road to fourth place with Arsenal, and it seems that the goal has changed to the FA Cup title.

Before the Liverpool game began, news came from La Liga that the battle of the warrior monk Pepe to dominate the martial arts began, and since then the name of the warrior monk has been known to the world, and Pepe has been promoted directly from the warrior monk to the martial arts master.

In the Madrid small derby, Real Madrid's home game with Madrid's satellite team Getafe, the score between the two teams was still 2:2 for more than 80 minutes, and in the 86th minute, Getafe's Castro burst into the penalty area and fell down when he was entangled with Pepe, and the referee gave a penalty directly, and the furious Pepe rushed up to gather his whole body strength against Castro, who had fallen to the ground, and kicked both feet on the opponent's legs and back.

After the kick, Pepe also pretended to lean down to comfort the opponent, and the slow motion showed that he was grabbing the opponent's hair and tearing hard, and then Pepe gave a combination of punches to the Getafe player Albin, who came forward to question him, and Pepe's Brazilian countryman Marcelo also clashed with the opposing player during the penalty.

There is no doubt that UEFA owes Pepe a belt.

What was even more tragic about the match was that perhaps it was frightened by the level of martial arts of Master Pei, and then Getafe's penalty kick was as weak as if he hadn't eaten for a few days, which was easily saved by Casillas, and Higuain beat Getafe in stoppage time.

After the game, the Real Madrid manager explained that 'he just wanted to kick the ball into the air', when in fact he said the wrong person, Pepe just wanted to kick people into the air.

Real Madrid is also very skilled in dealing with this situation, Pepe immediately apologized after the game, and said pitifully: "I don't want to play anymore, I have always been friendly, I didn't expect to plant such a big fight." ”

Marcelo, another player in the conflict, also said: "Pepe is a good guy and he needs outside help now. ”

It also sounds ironic that Pepe is a good person and treats people well.

In fact, he just wanted to reduce the punishment, and in the end Pepe was still banned for 10 games, and he will only be able to see Master Pepe in the Real Madrid team next season.

Master Pei's martial arts display is just the beginning, and there will be a series of martial arts demonstrations in the future, such as kicking Ibu head-on, stepping on Messi's fingers, and scorpion swinging tail and kicking people's lower body.

In football, there is a name for East Ibrasiluni, De Jong Nam Pepe, in fact, Pepe can completely say: "Pei is a good man, ashamed to be as famous as people like you." So with a wave of his hand, he threw them all.

Matchday arrived, and everyone's attention shifted to the league again.

The focus of this round is naturally Liverpool's home game against Arsenal, if Liverpool accidentally loses, then Manchester United will be happy, even if it is a draw Manchester United can tie the points, Manchester United with one less round of games will completely take the initiative.

Gerrard will continue to be absent from Liverpool's side, but Arsenal's Robin van Persie and Bam Adebayor are both absent due to injury, as will goalkeeper Almunia and former captain Willem Garra, which is a big positive for Liverpool.

Liu Ting has scored or assisted in 5 consecutive league games since the 28th round of the league, and everyone is concerned about whether he can continue to score or assist.

Fernando Torres has also scored in two games in a row and is on a good comeback.

Liverpool have won five in a row in the league after losing to Myburgh and Arsenal are also on a five-game winning streak after four consecutive 0-0 games, a meeting between two teams with five consecutive wins.

Liu Ting has scored or assisted in every game in a row during Liverpool's five-game winning streak, while Arshavin has also performed well in Arsenal's five-game winning streak, which is another meeting between the two after last year's UEFA Cup.

Due to the injury of Arsenal's main team with 4 players, Liverpool believes that it will not be too difficult to win Arsenal, in fact, most of the media also think so, after all, Liverpool has an excellent record in the BIG4 civil war this season.

Faintly, Liverpool already has the shadow of a light enemy.
