As the referee's full-time whistle sounded, the Valencia players at Stamford Bridge were excited, raising their arms and chanting.

Although this is still the first leg of this season's Champions League quarter-finals, two away goals plus a one-goal lead, as long as they don't make heavy mistakes in the second leg of the home game, they will basically not be eliminated.

So they were very happy, and the players in front of the bench ran frantically to the pitch at the same time as the referee blew the whistle, wanting to share the victory with their teammates on the field.

As the biggest contributor to this game, Iroh is naturally the primary 'attack' target of his teammates.

The home fans in the stands had already left the stadium in batches by the 90 minutes of regular time, and when the Valencia players celebrated on the field, there were basically only Valencia fans who came with the team, who gradually occupied the stands, singing and cheering for the team's victory in the stadium.

In this game, under the backdrop of Iroh's brilliant play, every Chelsea defender was like a leafy pon, basically walking directly to the dressing room as soon as the referee blew the whistle.

Similarly, their manager, Jose Mourinho, left the pitch at the same time as the referee's whistle and did not even shake hands with Valencia manager Flores.

From this detail, it can be seen that Mourinho was very unhappy with the result of this game.

※※※

However, at the post-match press conference, Mourinho was still present, and in the face of the reason for the loss of this game, he did not look for excuses, but said very directly: "There is no special reason for the loss of this game, a loss is a loss, there is no excuse." ”

But before the interview, he still had an uplifting remark, "The quarter-finals of the Champions League are two legs, Valencia can win at our home stadium, and we can beat them away from home!" ”

When he had finished speaking, he walked away.

This is Mourinho's style, and no one is surprised.

On the contrary, the head coach of the visiting team, Flores, looked much cuter when he was interviewed by reporters, because he was very cooperative with the reporters on the scene, and he was the kind who knew but did not say anything.

Except, of course, the team's technical and tactical problems.

※※※

At the same time, Roma won 2-1 at home to Manchester United, with Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes sent off and will miss the next round.

When everyone doubted that Manchester United would stop in the quarter-finals, Arlo did not think so, and he remembered that the biggest score in the quarter-finals of the Champions League was the second-leg clash between Manchester United and Roma.

7:1, a bloody score, still fresh in my memory.

So after Elo learned that Manchester United lost away to Roma, he sent a text message to Cristiano Ronaldo and Wayne Rooney respectively, teasing it until he returned to the hotel where he was staying.

On the second day, there was also a big highlight about the first leg of the two Champions League quarter-finals.

What's interesting is that the protagonists are all Premier League teams: Chelsea and Manchester United!

Because Liverpool has beaten PSV Eindhoven 3-0 away and has basically announced that they have entered the semi-finals in advance, while Chelsea and Manchester United are both hoping to advance to the semi-finals, and then there will be three Premier League teams in the Champions League semi-finals.

So the mainstream media in Europe is focusing on these two teams, especially Chelsea, as they lost a 1-2 at home to Valencia, while Manchester United were a little better, losing away from home, and there is plenty of room to progress in the second leg of the home game.

※※※

Of course, in addition to the two Premier League teams of Manchester United and Chelsea, the mainstream media in Europe has also placed it on Elo.

With one goal in this game, it means that he has already scored a staggering 16 goals in the Champions League this season, equalling his personal record for goals in a single Champions League season set last season, and he has at least one Champions League game to play this season, which means he could extend that record.

It's just that...... When was the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Chelsea at home?

So Chelsea was pulled together.

Jose Mourinho became angry when he saw the reports about Chelsea and Valencia.

Because Iroh's equaliser was built on Chelsea's defeats.

The headline of the "Times" on the day said, "Valencia's table this season is really very good, except for the back line is a little weak, the configuration of the midfield is perfect, and what makes people even more jealous is that at this time, Valencia has not had injuries to the main players, compared to Chelsea, which is full of injuries, it is simply a rebellious ......"

“…… Therefore, Valencia's leading goalscorer Ai took advantage of Chelsea's personnel to help the team beat Chelsea with one pass and one shot away from home, and at the same time, he also increased his goal tally in the Champions League this season to 16, which means that his own goals have equaled his own Champions League single-season goal record set by Zào last season, which is a very good form of Elo, perhaps, Chelsea's Champions League road, has come to an end. ”

The Times is not the only one who feels Chelsea have been largely eliminated, and even the traditional English newspapers of The Guardian and 442 have lost confidence that Chelsea will progress to the semi-finals.

The next morning, the entire Valencia squad returned to Valencia on a flight and were greeted by the fans as soon as they got off the plane, with Ello and David Villa, who contributed a goal and an assist respectively, receiving the loudest cheers.

Of course, the other players were also warmly cheered by the fans present, but the voices were a few times lower.

Valencia beat Chelsea 2-1 away but did not disorient Flores, who still took the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final seriously.

Therefore, he strategically abandoned the weekend round of the league, and even the main players of Ballack and David Villa stayed directly in Valencia, only temporarily grabbing a few players from the youth team to make up the number.

In the end, Valencia relied on Elo's header before the end to draw 1-1 away at Athletic Bilbao or suffer their first defeat in La Liga in 2006-2007.

Seeing Valencia draw in this round of the league, Real Madrid and Barcelona both seemed to be cats that smelled fish, beating their respective opponents in the league on Sunday to close the gap in points.

Barcelona, who is second in the league, is only 14 points away from Valencia at the top of the table, and Real Madrid, who are ranked Tanhua, is only 15 points away from Valencia, and the two teams have a chance to compete directly in the 31st round of the league, which is definitely a good opportunity to grab points.

Because according to Valencia's current form, it is not a problem to advance to the Champions League semifinals, according to the schedule, Valencia will have to stay in the first leg of the Champions League semifinals, and the game against Real Madrid will naturally choose to give up strategically.

Looking further back at Valencia's schedule, before the semi-final with Real Madrid, there is still a Copa del Rey semi-final first leg to play, which means that Valencia has to play two matches in a week, which requires a very high level of physical fitness and sustained combat ability, which is completely the moment when Real Madrid and Barcelona, who were eliminated from the Champions League, are crazy to chase points in the league!

The respective mouthpieces of Real Madrid and Barcelona have once again put a high hat on Valencia.

In particular, "World Sports", the manuscript written seems to be licking Valencia's feet, "Valencia after winning the Spanish double last season, this season's performance is even more amazing, La Liga is at the top of the table, the Copa del Rey advances to the semi-finals, and the Champions League is also very likely to enter the semi-finals, such a Valencia is very scary, even if it is a substitute squad in the league, it will be easy to win any opponent, Including their next league opponents, Sevilla and Real Madrid......"

In everyone's impression, "Le Monde Sport" has always been derogatory in the face of Valencia's newspaper, but this time it has completely turned 180 degrees and changed to praise Valencia's achievements, which has to make people wonder.

After all, not everyone is a fool.

However, there are still a lot of Valencia fans who are quite useful.

In this world, there are people who don't like to listen to good words?

※※※

Compared to the less 'professional' reporting of Le Monde Sport, Real Madrid's mouthpiece, Marca, is much more professional, starting with Elo in Valencia.

"After 29 rounds of the league, before you know it, Valencia's star Ai helped the team get one point in the just-concluded league, and the goal also made him score an astonishing 44 goals this season, thus equaling the single-season goal record he set last season..."

“…… From another point of view, Ai's form also directly affects Valencia's results in the league and the Champions League, which can be seen from the unbeaten record in the league and the result of advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League...... There is also the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey that cannot be ignored, and Valencia will likely become the first La Liga team to win the treble this season, but before they can win this treble, they need to win the Champions League with the most important part, and they must focus exclusively on the Champions League when there is no threat in the domestic league and the Copa del Rey......

Of course, during this time, other mainstream newspapers in Europe also reported that Ailo once again equaled his own single-season goal record set last season.

Because Iello first equalled his own single-season goal record in the Champions League last season in the Champions League in midweek, and then scored a goal in the following league to tie his own single-season goal record in La Liga set last season.

Such a miraculous table is completely absent in the history of modern football.
