When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the match, the entire Mestalla stadium seemed to be in a state of extreme frenzy, and in the minds of these fans, they did not reach the semi-finals except for the Champions League final in the 99-00 and 00-01 seasons.

Although it is only five years, it feels more like waiting for a century.

Canizares, who was seated in the VIP seat of the match, also raised his arms at the same moment to celebrate the team's qualification to this year's Champions League semi-finals!

He once thought that he would never have a chance to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League again in his career, but he didn't expect it...... At the end of his career, he still had this opportunity.

It's just that......

Canizares looked down at his gauze-wrapped right hand and sighed, he didn't know if he would be in such a good state when his finger injury healed.

Looking at Iello who was surrounded by his teammates, he felt sincerely happy, Valencia under his leadership, will go further and further, just ...... How long can you keep him?

On the second day, Spain's mainstream media had already made the headlines about the "Champions League semi-final of the derby civil war" in advance.

Barcelona also lived up to expectations that night, narrowly defeating Inter Milan 2-1 at home, and meeting Valencia, who advanced to the semifinals in the second half, to achieve the La Liga derby in the Champions League semifinals.

AC Milan returned home to beat Lyon 3-1, while Arsenal drew 0-0 with Juventus at the Stadio Alpes to advance to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 2-0.

So the other semi-final will be played against AC Milan and Arsenal.

As a result, the mainstream media in Europe began to speculate which team will be able to enter the Champions League final?

Of course, in addition to which two teams will make it to the final, there is another thing that has shocked the whole European football world, and that is that Ailo scored a goal in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Villarreal, so he also equaled the record of a single season goal in the Champions League set by AC Milan's Altafini in the 62-63 season with 14 goals in the Champions League.

But he doesn't occupy a lot of space.

*****

As the mouthpiece of Barcelona, "World Sports" began to give the number jù at the first time, but this number jù is not in the league, because of the results of the past two seasons, Barcelona is absolutely inferior to Valencia, because Iello alone has scored 9 goals against Barcelona recently, and it is normal to avoid this disadvantage.

"It's finally time to face Valencia! Like many Barcelona fans, everyone is confident about the next two legs of the semi-finals, right? Because we are world-class giants, and they are just famous in China! We've won the Champions League, and they're ...... It's just that he has won two runners-up in a row! So...... In the next two Champions League semi-finals, the victory of the game must be our Barcelona! ”

“…… In the last four league games, Barcelona and Valencia have won three and are at an absolute disadvantage, but don't forget! This is the top league in Europe, the UEFA Champions League!! It is not valid for the league's results to be carried into the Champions League, neither the influence nor the pace of the game can be compared to the league, and more importantly, we have more experience in the Champions League knockout rounds than Valencia, so ...... It must be us Barcelona who win the two legs! ”

As the saying goes, the enemy of your enemy is your friend!

So the two newspapers of the capital, "Marca" and "As", at this moment, abandoned all preconceptions and began to cheer for Valencia, and the theme of "Marca" is: Barsac Star!

"As many fans know, Valencia have won three in a row against Barcelona, scoring ten goals and conceding six, including their top scorer Ai alone scored nine goals on Barcelona and completed a hat-trick of hat-tricks, which is a brand that no one can erase, we firmly believe it! Valencia will definitely come out on top against Barcelona and march to the Stade de France in Paris! ”

The theme of "As" is: Will there be a hat-trick of big four?

“…… Ai has already completed the hat-trick of hat-tricks on Barcelona's body, and I believe that at this time, many people can't help but speculate that his senior hat-trick will come in the Champions League semi-finals? No doubt! This match will be the time for the Barsak star to prove himself, and immediately cut Barcelona? We'll see......"

Valencia's local sports media were not the same as those of Spain's influential newspapers El Mundo, Marca and As, and they focused on Ello's goal in this game.

"Equaling the record! Equalling the Champions League single-season goal record that has been in the dust for 43 years!! The record that was once thought to be unbreakable was equalled by our prince last night, but let's not forget that Valencia still has at least two Champions League games to play! There is another problem that is worth facing up!! That was our semi-final against Barcelona, whom Ai has already scored nine goals against them, arguably the most of any club in his career......

So we have reason to believe that it will be Valencia who will make it to the final! Because we have an all-powerful Ai! ”

Turin Sport, a long-time supporter of Aillo, also expressed its support for Eelo at the right time, "Barcelona beat Inter Milan 2-1 at home in the other quarter-final yesterday, so their opponent in the semi-final is Valencia...... If you follow the fans of La Liga, you will know that in the past three games, Barcelona and Valencia have not won a single match, and they have all lost! So we have reason to believe that in the next two semi-final matches, Valencia will beat the mighty Barcelona under the leadership of Ai! ”

*****

Europe's mainstream media have been noisy about the match, and it has been concluded that Valencia will have a good chance of beating Barcelona to reach the final.

But is that really the case?

Flores doesn't think so!

The league is the league, the Champions League is the Champions League!

The league is a long season, and the knockout stages of the Champions League are all two-legged contests, and the slightest mistake can be wasted and the whole season's hard work will be wasted.

Therefore, this Champions League semi-final must not be treated with the attitude of the league, otherwise a few lives will not be enough to die!

And the report in Le Monde Sport makes perfect sense that Barcelona have much more experience in the knockout stages of the Champions League than Valencia and are more comfortable in controlling this kind of top-level competition.

The next day, the day after the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, UEFA also gave the time for the two-legged Champions League semi-finals.

The two two-legged semi-finals will be played on April 19 and 20 and April 26 and 27.

*****

At the weekend, Valencia hosted Cadiz at home.

Valencia made some rotation changes in this game, but Iroh is not on the list of changes because he is only four goals away from Pacino, the single-season goal record in La Liga, so he wants to use the next games to score more goals, otherwise it will be difficult to repay the fans who support him.

Flores was not surprised by this, but chose to support Iroh very cooperatively.

The semi-main lineup led by Ielo and Albelda finally defeated this season's relegation favorites Cadiz with a score of 5:3, in which Iello scored his fourth hat-trick of the season, directly surpassing the 35 league goals scored by Atletico Madrid's Baltazar Zào in the 88-89 season.

As soon as the game ended, Iroh was surrounded by a swarm of reporters.

With his fourth hat-trick of the season in this game, Iello was in a good mood and became the second-highest scorer in La Liga in a single season.

What's more, he has seven league games to go.

As a result, the media interviewing Iroh all thought of one thing, and then they were collectively stunned: how many goals can he score this season? ?

'It's not up to me to decide how many goals I can score, so ...... I want people to focus on this game, we're a whole and I'm just a part of it, if I had to play alone, wouldn't I have been kicked and crippled? Right......"

To this question, Iroh did not give a direct answer, but shifted the topic to the team.

So the media is even more curious.

The next day, the media speculated on how many goals he could have scored this season when he fell to the ground, in addition to reporting that Iello had surpassed the record of the second-most goals scored in a single season in La Liga by Atletico Madrid's Baltazza in the 88-89 season......

Among them, the speculation of Valencia Sports is the boldest, "I firmly believe that Ai will be able to score 50 league goals at the end of this season, because our next opponents are Celta, Espanyol, Athletic Bilbao, Alaves, Mallorca, Atletico Madrid, Osasuna, except for the away games against Athletic Bilbao, Atletico Madrid and Osasuna, it is a bit difficult, the other teams have a clear difference in quality, besides...... Let's not forget that the stronger the opponent, the better Ai's form, so we have every reason to believe that he will score 50 league goals this season......"

That night, Barcelona also ushered in this round of opponents - Real Madrid!

Originally, the home team was full of confidence in this game, but what I didn't expect was that Real Madrid played 1:1 with the home team Barcelona in this game with one less player

When the results came out, everyone was stunned!

With only seven league games remaining, Valencia is 13 points ahead of Barcelona.

At the same time, this point difference also shocked Barcelona's top management, because so many small actions were made before to make up for the disadvantage of returning to the league? I just didn't expect it...... The chain will drop at a critical time!
