After the second leg of the 2007-2008 Champions League quarter-finals was completed, the semi-final opponents in the upper and lower semi-finals were also automatically produced, and the British media was excited that three teams in the Premier League had entered the semi-finals of the Champions League this season.

That's a lot more than four places in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which means that if United can beat Barcelona in the semi-finals, this season's Champions League final will be the first time ever that an English top-flight team will meet in a Champions League final!

When the time comes, the British media can go crazy to report that the Premier League is the first league in Europe!

La Liga is just a league of 18 teams playing with Barcelona and Real Madrid......

There is no competition in the Premier League at all!

For the first time in the history of the Champions League, Premier League teams occupy three of the four Champions League seats!

Interestingly, the semi-finals of the top half of this season's Champions League met in the semi-finals of the 2004-2005 season, and Chelsea were eliminated from the competition because of a ghost goal from former Liverpool star Luis Garcia, who directly led Jose Mourinho to the referee on duty for this goal.

So compared to the semi-finals of Manchester United vs Barcelona, this Champions League Premier League derby is more eye-catching, because ...... Enough of a false head!

Coupled with the personal feuds between Mourinho and Benitez, this semi-final has caught the attention of all fans who are interested in the Champions League.

In particular, the negative news about Benitez broke out before Christmas, and he did not hesitate to fire his assistant who had served for 11 years because he was friends with Mourinho.

Therefore, Benitez has become synonymous with careful eyes in the eyes of many people.

Speaking to reporters on the outskirts of Melwood the next day, Benitez expressed confidence in the semi-finals: "As everyone else believes, because we have lost the chance to win the league title, we are all focused on these two Champions League semi-finals, and Chelsea have to be distracted by the league, the FA Cup and the Champions League, which are destined to drop the chain at a crucial time and then a rout on the third line......

In the face of Benitez's 'curse', Mourinho, who was interviewed by reporters, did not pay too much attention, but focused on the 36th round of the home league match against Manchester United, because this is a game related to the league championship this season!

Mourinho ignored it, and Benitez didn't continue to talk about himself, so it seemed that he was really small-bellied, for the sake of his reputation, he still endured it, but he held back his strength to wait until the Champions League semi-finals to find the field!

The top half of the Champions League semi-finals was in the spotlight because of the historical feud between Liverpool and Chelsea, while the matches between Barcelona and Manchester United in the bottom half of the Champions League semi-finals were also in the spotlight because of the two rising stars in the team.

In addition to Iro, who is currently at the top of the Champions League scorer list with 14 goals, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi are tied for second with 11 goals, which means that both of them are likely to compete with Iello for the best striker in the Champions League this season!

At the same time, the side also illustrates a question, which player plays better Cristiano Ronaldo or Messi, so which side will the team that advances will be biased.

At this stage of the Champions League semi-finals, both sides will be paying extra attention to their defenses and scoring goals will become a bit of a luxury, so individual outbursts will be particularly important and will have a profound impact on both legs!

If the semi-finals in the first half of the region are old enemies, then the semi-finals in the second half are definitely a direct confrontation of the youth storm!

However, the two-legged semi-finals will not start until the end of this month, so the four teams will have to focus on the league first.

And the media covering their respective leagues can only focus on the league, after all, the league is the foundation.

Chelsea's opponents at the weekend were Wigan Athletic, a modest opponent, who beat the hosts 3-1 away thanks to two goals from Elo.

In the other big game at the same time, Manchester United continued the pressure on top Chelsea by beating Arsenal 4-2 at home thanks to two goals from Cristiano Ronaldo.

With four rounds left in the league, the competition for the league title is also becoming more and more fierce.

※※※

The next day, the British media focused on Elo, because in the just-concluded round of the league, Elo scored two goals, which means that his league goals have reached 36, which has surpassed the record of 34 goals in a single Premier League season set by Cole and Shearer in the 1993-1994 and 1994-1995 seasons.

'Chelsea beat Wigan Athletic 3-1 at Wigan Athletic in last night's league fixture, with two goals from their top scorer, bringing his total Premier League goals tally this season to 36, surpassing the Premier League goals of Cole and Shearer, who will be the Premier League's all-time top scorer from today......

Headline from The Times: Premier League single-season goal record set!

In addition to the British media's detailed report on Elo's new Premier League single-season goal record, other European mainstream media have also followed up and reported, after all, it is quite difficult to surpass the record, especially the goal record of the last century.

Among them, the Spanish media is particularly crazy about the Zào Premier League single-season goal record, because in the past two seasons, Ailo has continuously set a single-season goal record in La Liga, and now in the first season of the Premier League, he has once again set a single-season goal record in the league, which is a very rare phenomenon and worth promoting.

You must know that the Premier League is very different from La Liga, the Premier League emphasizes more on the physical confrontation of players, while La Liga emphasizes technical play, just like a martial arts master to wrestle his wrists.

It is extremely rare for a player to be able to adapt to a different style of league in just one season, especially in such difficult circumstances and to set a record for goals scored in a single season in the Premier League.

Coupled with the fact that Ailo is a player who has gone out of La Liga, the Spanish media also has the capital to brag.

The most detailed report in the Spanish media is still "Valencia Sport", Airo walked out of Valencia, and it was a sky-high transfer, and his continued highlight play also made Valencia fans look bright, even if they were just eliminated from the Champions League semi-finals by Chelsea led by Airlo.

Iello was in the headlines for just one day before turning his attention back to the league, but not in the next round of the league, but next weekend when Chelsea host Manchester United.

If nothing else, this season's Premier League title will be decided in the spotlight of Chelsea's home game against Manchester United.

At present, the 34th round of the Premier League is in the 34th round, and Chelsea, who are at the top of the league table, are at the top of the table with 29 wins, 5 draws and 94 points, while Manchester United is not far behind, with 29 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss and 91 points.

Manchester United's results in any season of the Premier League other than the 1993-1994 season and the 2004-2005 season can win the Premier League title safely, but not this season, because there is a more fierce Chelsea!

The London press even believes that Chelsea will have a good chance of winning the Premier League unbeaten this season, just like Arsenal did in 2003-2004, and that Chelsea have a better chance of winning this season!

When the media mentioned the direct confrontation between the two teams in the 36th round of the league, Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson began to use psychological tactics against Mourinho, and he first spoke to reporters with a very firm belief that this season's league title will belong to Manchester United, because they do not need to fight on three fronts.

In the face of such obvious psychological warfare in Ferguson, Mourinho, who was at the Cobham training base, had to give an interview to reporters, but his answer was even more intriguing: "Don't forget, this is our home stadium!" ”

Mourinho means to say: 'This is my territory, don't be presumptuous!' ’

Seeing that Mourinho was not fooled, Ferguson did not continue the topic and focused on the next league game.

If this round of the league loses or draws at home, then the next round of the league against Chelsea will be meaningless, and there will be no surprises in the ownership of the league title with only two league games remaining, because Chelsea's opponents are Newcastle and Bolton, and the strength is not strong.

First up was Manchester United's home league game against Blackburn, where they won 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo.

Manchester United's 1-0 win at home to Blackburn Rovers denied Chelsea the chance to extend the scoreline, only increasing the likelihood of narrowing the points as United had already equalised with a game in the first game.

So the pressure is all on Chelsea.

And they have a Champions League semi-final first leg at Anfield next week.

The league game at Goodison Park at 4pm the next day was therefore particularly interesting because if Chelsea conceded points, their psychological advantage would be minimised, and the direct clash between the two teams would be at odds a week later, and the outcome would be uncertain.

So this game is definitely not to be lost for Chelsea!

Otherwise, a season's advantage will be wasted, and the £50 million prize money will disappear, which will affect the overall morale of the team, FA Cup final, Champions League semi-final......

If you're not careful, Chelsea will likely win the Carabao Cup this season.

For this possibility, Mourinho is absolutely not allowed to happen!

Even with the first leg of the Champions League semi-final against Liverpool in the middle of next week, Mourinho opted to field an all-out squad.

Everton are fifth in the league and 11 points clear of fourth-placed Liverpool and are only theoretically likely to secure a Champions League ticket next season, but they are also only seven points ahead of seventh-placed Blackburn Rovers and cannot secure a place in next season's UEFA Cup, so they have fielded all their squad.
