185. Torres' bad luck
Barcelona drew 0-0 at home to Liverpool in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, which is very good news for Liverpool, so that when they return to home, Liverpool will have the initiative.
In fact, the score of 0-0 did not give Liverpool much advantage, and Barcelona even needed a 1-0 to solve the Liverpool team and eliminate it away from home. Now the reason why the Liverpudlians have an advantage is a psychological and geographical advantage.
Liverpool are confident of this game and are confident that they can overcome their opponents and qualify for the Champions League final.
The second day of the game was followed by another Champions League semi-final first leg as Manchester United beat Arsenal 1-0 at their home stadium, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring in the 88th minute to give Arsenal a one-goal advantage.
Manchester United were still very good in this game, but Arsenal were also very tenacious, scoring a goal in this game, but the referee ruled it offside. However, judging from the slow-motion replay of the game, there was no problem with the goal being scored at all, and when midfielder Cesc Fabregas passed the ball, Van Persie was indeed not offside, and Manchester United's Rio Ferdinand dragged behind.
It wasn't a hard offside goal, but the linesman didn't hesitate to raise the flag and was very resolute, and if you just looked at the referee's expression and decisive action and didn't look at the slow-motion replay, you would definitely think it was offside.
However, the fans at the scene and in front of the TV did see clearly, the goal was not offside, so this also caused dissatisfaction among the Arsenal fans, and the Arsenal fans reacted very fiercely, and even stopped the game for a while.
Arsène 61 Arsène Wenger on the sidelines was very angry, he was very dissatisfied with the decision, he thought there was definitely something in it.
After the game, Arsène 61 Arsene Wenger once again made a tirade on the refereeing issue, but the referees were disgraced.
In fact, at halftime, when the referees went back to rest, they watched the wonderful replay of the first half of the game, and they also saw their mistakes.
Therefore, after the game, no matter how Wenger reacted and cursed, he did not come out and relent, and remained silent.
Arsene Wenger was angry for good reason, and in Wenger's view, if that goal had not been misjudged, the game would have followed a different trajectory and their Arsenal team would have won the game against Manchester United, and possibly by a big margin.
Of course, there are no ifs and Arsenal deserve to accept that they are now losing 1-0 to Manchester United in the first leg.
In fact, the gap is not very large, they are only one goal behind, and after returning to home, Arsenal still have a good chance. However, the Arsenal team is always not satisfied with the result of this game and feels very regretful.
After all, it has reached the semi-final stage of the Champions League, so the four teams that entered the semi-finals are very cautious, so the score of this first leg is not very big, and only one goal is scored in two games. This did make fans feel a little disappointed, and they would have liked to see a hot classic matchup.
The second leg of this season's UEFA Champions League semi-finals will be played in a week's time, with Arsenal hosting Manchester United on the first day and Liverpool hosting Barcelona the next.
There is still one league game to play before these two games. In this weekend's league game, Liverpool will face Newcastle United at their home stadium, Newcastle United are still good, but the results are very bad.
Newcastle United have changed managers twice this season, but the results have not improved, and I really don't know why.
However, in the face of such a team, the Liverpool team still does not dare to take it lightly. In the first two days of the game against Newcastle United, the injured Qiu Ze had recovered from his injury and began to resume training. However, at the beginning of this game, Benitez did not put Qiu Ze in the 18-man squad.
Benitez is aiming for the second leg of the Champions League in a week's time, where Liverpool will take on Spain's Barcelona. The strength of the Barcelona team is very strong, and the Liverpool team cannot be taken lightly.
Moreover, at this time, the Liverpool team has already received news that Messi of the Barcelona team has returned from injury, and in order to adjust Qiu Ze to the best condition, Benitez did not let Qiu Ze play in the game of Newcastle United.
The day before Liverpool's match against Niu Karls, Barcelona also played a round of La Liga, in which Barcelona won 5-1, and Messi, who returned from injury, showed good form and scored twice in this game.
This shows that Messi is in very good shape, and Benitez immediately realized that his decision was correct, and he thought that next week's midweek game must be a very difficult game.
Because it was a home game, Qiu Ze also sat in the stands on the day of the game, and he watched the game on the spot.
In this game, Liverpool's captain Steven Gerrard returned from injury, he appeared in the starting lineup, and he was in the position left by Qiu Ze as the forward midfielder of this game, and in the back position was Xavi 61 Alonso and Mascherano.
The strikers are, of course, Fernando 61 Torres, the defenders are Arshavin and Babel, while the back four are Aveloa, Carragher, Daniel 61 Ag and Joel Luca. The goalkeeper is even less suspenseful, Spaniard Reina.
After the game started, Liverpool controlled the game, although Newcastle United also had the opportunity to attack, but their final kick was really bad, but it did not have the sharp feeling when Shearer was there.
In the 27th minute of the first half, Arshavin on the wing broke through continuously, and a sudden cross found Fernando 61 Torres in the middle. The Spanish striker didn't waste an assist from his team-mates to score his 27th Premier League goal of the season.
However, even so, Fernando 61 Torres was not able to appear at the top of the scorer charts. This season's Premier League scorer list is still occupied by Manchester United's Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, by this time, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo has scored 31 goals in the Premier League, which is a terrifying number of goals.
However, Cristiano 61 Ronaldo has not scored much in the Champions League this season, and he has only scored four goals in the Champions League so far, which does seem a bit less. Here, Fernando 61 Torres overtook Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, with the Spaniard now scoring 10 goals in the Champions League.
However, Fernando 61 Torres is only second in the Champions League scorers' charts, with Qiu Ze at the top of the list, who has now scored thirteen goals in the Champions League. Qiu Ze, the top scorer in the UEFA Champions League, is basically decided.
Fernando 61 Torres was thrilled to score his 27th league goal, and now he is just four goals away from Cristiano 61 Ronaldo's 31 goals, and Fernando 61 Torres sees hope of hitting the league's top scorer again.
To be honest, Fernando 61 Torres is indeed sad enough, these 27 league goals are the most serious contenders for the top scorer in previous seasons, and they can get 90% of the top scorers.
It's a pity that in the two years since he came to the Premier League, Fernando 61 Torres has met Qiu Ze and Cristiano 61 Ronaldo, two demons, Nima scored 27 league goals in a single season and couldn't get the league's top scorer, which is too cheating.
However, the league is not over yet, plus this round, there are still four rounds of the Premier League to end, and he Fernando 61 Torres is not without a chance to overtake Cristiano 61 Ronaldo. Fernando 61 Torres is determined to be the top scorer in the league this season.
The game went on and the Fernando 61 Torres brothers were very positive and they wanted to score more goals. However, today's good fortune seemed to run out, and no matter how hard he tried, the goal never went back to Newcastle United.
However, Gerrard, who returned from injury today, scored a heavy shot at Newcastle United just before the end of the first half to make it 2-0.
This first half made Fernando 61 Torres very unwilling. At the beginning of the second half, Fernando 61 Torres worked frantically to get more goals, but this guy couldn't score goals. Seeing this, Benitez did not give Fernando 61 Torres too much time, and replaced the Spanish striker in the 70th minute of the second half.
Rafael Benitez replaced Torres in preparation for the second leg of the Champions League three days later.
Fernando 61 Torres was a little reluctant when he was substituted, and he really wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to score more goals. It's a pity that this guy couldn't score a goal today, maybe it's just that speed is not enough.
Not long after Fernando Torres was substituted, Liverpool scored again, this time by the newly substituted Robbie 61 Keane, and in this way, Liverpool continued to put pressure on the leading Manchester United side in a comfortable 3-0 win over Newcastle United.
Winning this game has given Benitez a sense of relief that he can now focus more on the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.
