The next day, Chelsea's 2-1 away win over Barcelona in the Champions League semi-final quickly became a game that the mainstream media in Europe scrambled to report, and Elo, who scored two goals alone, naturally became the focus of the report.

His whistle in the first leg of this Champions League semi-final has changed significantly, although he will consciously take care of the home team in the first half, but it is not particularly obvious, and in the second half after he equalized at Barcelona, the whistle was completely biased in favor of the home team.

UEFA is highly concerned about this and has announced that the relevant authorities have stepped in to investigate.

The results of the other Champions League semi-final of the same night were also in, as Manchester United won the game 1-0 at home thanks to a free-kick from Cristiano Ronaldo, and it is worth mentioning that Cristiano Ronaldo also hit the crossbar with a long-range shot.

The first leg of the two Champions League semi-finals has ended one after another, and the mainstream European media is also aware of the possibility that this season's Champions League final will be a repeat of the final of England's division, and it is very likely to be a repeat of last season's Champions League final, as can be seen from Cristiano Ronaldo's form in the first leg.

Not to mention Elo, who has been widely regarded as the number one player in football today after leading different teams to the top of Europe for two consecutive seasons, scoring 15 goals in 11 Champions League games this season, just four goals away from his 19 goals in 13 Champions League games last season.

If Chelsea are able to reach the final of the Champions League, many believe that Iello will equalify his own table last season, and if he is in hot form, it is not impossible to break his personal record of 21 goals in a single season in 2006-2007.

Therefore, the discussion in the mainstream media in Europe revolves around Iello and Cristiano Ronaldo, so Messi is very unhappy, he doesn't think that his strength will be weaker than the two of them!

Thereupon...... He put his mind into training even harder!!

With Real Madrid at the Bernabeu in two days and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge six days later, neither game is a must-lose!

Looking at Messi who worked so hard, Iniesta, as a good friend, shook his head one after another, he was really worried that Messi would be useless if he continued to train like this, after all, everyone's physical load has a value, and if it frequently exceeds the critical point, then he will be wasted without waiting for the game......

Many times Iniesta does not understand, is the first really that important?

Two days later, Barcelona visited the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid, and the traditional Spanish national derby was arranged between the two legs of the Champions League semi-finals, which also made Barcelona's top brass very unhappy, and they even thought about postponing the game before the game, but Real Madrid and the Spanish Football Federation did not agree, so they had to give up.

So Barcelona has to play a national derby between the Champions League semi-finals, which means that if Barcelona loses to Real Madrid away, then it is very likely that the four major players will be empty this season, so Messi will never allow this kind of thing to happen!

In this case, Messi broke out!

scored three goals in the 16th, 25th, and 33rd minutes of the first half to help Barcelona lead Real Madrid 3:1! No one expected this result!!

However, what was even more unexpected was that the score was 2:6 at full-time

The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.

The national derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid is arguably the most watched derby in Europe, with both teams boasting ultra-luxurious squads that can attract the attention of the whole world from both a commercial and an economic perspective, and Messi, who scored a hat-trick in this game, has been widely praised.

The most influential newspaper in Catalonia, Le Monde Sport, said the following day: "After Barcelona's 2-1 defeat at home to Chelsea, everyone thought Barcelona was going to be finished, but yesterday evening's national derby gave all the doubtful eyes a resounding slap in the face, and the star of the house, Messi, showed his super individual ability to lead this underdog Barcelona to a 6-2 away victory over Real Madrid. With only four rounds left in the league, the difference between them was extended to seven points, and the hope of winning the championship was greatly increased! ”

“…… And we firmly believe that in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals in the middle of next week, the in-form Messi will lead Barcelona to catch up and stage a good comeback away from home, and it must be Barcelona who will advance to this season's Champions League final!! Judging from the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Ai's ability to score two goals has a lot to do with his luck, and it is still unknown whether Barcelona will be able to lose at home if it were not for the successive mistakes of Marquez and Abidal, so the suspense of actually qualifying for this season's Champions League final will be revealed at Stamford Bridge in the middle of next week......

Like other mainstream European media "Bild", "Team Newspaper", "Milan Sports Newspaper", etc., they have praised Messi, and also expressed that Barcelona does have a chance to win the game at Stamford Bridge.

It is also unknown if Iello was spurred on by Messi's hat-trick, as he scored four goals in just 25 minutes as a substitute in just 25 minutes to help his side win 5-2 at home.

Chelsea's victory in this game can be regarded as officially declaring the defending league title, as they are still nine points ahead of Manchester United, who also won the league, with only three games remaining, and more importantly, Chelsea's goal difference is 13 more than Manchester United.

This means that United will have to win the remaining league games if they want to become league champions, and Chelsea have been beaten in every game......

However, the probability of this happening is very low, not much higher than the chance of being hit by a meteorite on the street.

After the game, the excited Chelsea fans were already holding up the pre-prepared slogan: "Celebrate Chelsea defending their 2008-2009 Premier League title!" "Thank you Ai for bringing us a fifth Premier League title! "Ai! Please let us reach the Champions League final again!! ”……

Iello, who followed his teammates to thank the fans who were there, was very moved, as if he had seen how he was treated at the Mestalla Stadium two or three years ago......

Especially when I saw the line "We want to be the first team to defend the Champions League since the Champions League was restructured!" He clenched his fists and muttered, "Don't worry, I will!" ”

The next day, the mainstream European media represented by the "Times" put Iello in the headlines again, and Messi, who scored a hat-trick in the national derby yesterday, had to give way to Iroh......

The sudden change also made Messi feel very unhappy, and he became more engaged in training, and his first change was seen by his good friend Andres Iniesta and manager Pep Guardiola, but one was worried about Messi's body, and the other was confident in the next Champions League semi-final because he had a player comparable to Elo.

However, Pep Guardiola is still concerned about Alves' absence from the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, and the Brazilian Alves has played an important role in his tactical system.

Barcelona, who do not have Alves at Stamford Bridge, will definitely have a much weaker attack on the right flank, and they are also at an absolute disadvantage in terms of chasing Elo!

If caught by Chelsea on a quick counter-attack, there is no choice but personal sacrifice in the case of a comeback.

Chelsea, who are preparing for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final at the Cobham training base, have confidence that manager Jose Mourinho's side have not lost at home in seven years, and with Iroh at the helm, they have every reason to believe that the final is Chelsea!

Two days before the game, Iroh was interviewed by CCTV about the upcoming second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

In the face of confidence in the game, Iroh has always been the most arrogant person in the world, so his answer is completely in line with the taste of domestic fans in China today. No matter which country in the world they travel, they will be admired by the local fans, and they will even give a high thumbs up and say, "Your Ai is very good!" ”

Closer to home, as time goes by, the holiday of football dogs is coming again......

The first Champions League semi-final second leg kicks off at the Emirates Stadium at 8.45pm on Tuesday night, with Arsenal hosting Manchester United.

All the focus is on British soil.

However, the game was very different from what everyone expected, and in the eighth minute of the game, Cristiano Ronaldo cut in a cross from the left rib, Gibbs accidentally slipped under his feet, and South Korean Park Ji-sung scrambled to shoot the ball into the goal before Almunia could attack.

Three minutes later, Van Persie fouled Cristiano Ronaldo at the back, and the referee blew the whistle decisively, and what was surprising was that Cristiano Ronaldo showed excellent individual form at the Emirates Stadium, and he actually scored a free kick from 41 meters from the goal to directly break through Almunia's goal, and Manchester United led Arsenal 2:0 away!

Cristiano Ronaldo flanked the middle of the second half and Robin van Persie only scored a face-saving goal before full-time.

In the end, the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, which was called evenly matched, was played 1:3, which was unexpected.

Manchester United took the lead in the final with an aggregate score of 4:1.

This result also made the British media excited, as long as Chelsea do not lose to Barcelona tomorrow night, they can meet Manchester United in the Champions League final, and then they can set a new record since the reform of the Champions League!

As a result, the remaining Champions League semi-finals have become the focus of attention across England.
