The second leg against Barcelona was so important that the team didn't train for the next opponent at all these days, but practiced against Barcelona over and over again. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On 19 April, Chelsea took to Stamford Bridge for what could be the last big Premier League game of the season.

In the last round of the league, Chelsea beat Queens Park Rangers 2-0 thanks to goals from Shi Hao and Cesc Fabregas, while the Red Devils beat local rivals Manchester City 4-2 in the Manchester derby. The two teams have met 171 times before, with Chelsea falling behind with 48 wins, 51 draws and 72 defeats.

In the first meeting of the season, Chelsea drew 1-1 away. Chelsea were in the ascendancy at the time, but were equalised by Robin van Persie in the last minute of stoppage time.

The whole Chelsea squad were unconvinced by the draw and are now back at home, with the dressing room full of cries to 'give them some colour'.

And if Chelsea win this game, they will win the league ahead of schedule, and even the trophy has already been brought to the scene.

But with the second leg against Barcelona in a few days' time, Mourinho didn't put his full squad in action.

Felipe, who has been underperforming, appeared in the starting line at left-back, and the youngster Kurt Zouma, who made a big mistake in the last game, also replaced the captain who was absent due to injury, Matic and Mikel partnered in the back two, left midfielder Remy, Shi Hao in front, Oscar on the right, and single striker Drogba.

This is a game that does not require mobilization. Both sides got into the groove quickly after the opening, and in the 4th minute, Luke. Shaw burst into the left flank and sent in an inverted triangle pass near the baseline, Rooney stepped in and fired wide, but the ball grazed the post and gave Chelsea a disadvantage. Shortly afterwards, McNair attempted a long-range shot from a dribbling drive in midfield, but it was still slightly wide.

In the 29th minute, Falcao, who was actively defending back, violated Shi Hao's foul in the backfield steal, but Shi Hao's free kick hit the head of the Manchester United player and refracted dangerously out of the bottom line.

After a period of back and forth, Chelsea had a slight upper hand on the pitch. Although Cesc Fabregas's absence caused a little problem in the connection between Chelsea's central and backfield, and the possession tactics were not so fluid, Shi Hao's activity in the front field still caused headaches for United's backline.

In the 38th minute, the youngster Kurt Zouma broke the ball at the back and launched a counterattack with a decisive long pass. After Drogba returned the ball to Shi Hao with a header, Shi Hao did not stop the ball, but knocked the ball directly to Oscar with a knock on the back heel of his left foot.

Oscar took a few steps forward with the ball and passed the ball a little in front of Shi Hao. Shi Hao used his speed to catch up with the ball quickly, grabbed the ball before Smalling, and simply burst into the penalty area to face the goalkeeper directly.

In desperation, De Gea chose to abandon the door and attack, but as soon as he was halfway through the attack, he saw Shi Hao's ankle shake and the football flew high......

De Gea jumped back in desperation, but despite his height and long arms, he couldn't touch the football. The ball fell behind him as he fell, and although Valencia had tried to catch up and try to hook the ball out, it was still half a beat slow.

The football falls into the goal line, the referee blows the whistle, and the goal is valid!

The crowd cheered, and Chelsea's leading games this season were rarely missed! For them, the league title is already in the bag, but it would be even more wonderful if they could beat their old enemies and clink glasses at the same time!

With Chelsea's goal, the mentality of the Red Devils players changed, and the action on the pitch gradually increased, and the smell of gunpowder became stronger. Soon after, Falcao fell to the ground in a scramble with Kurt Zouma, and after getting up, he still did not give up, and the two men quarreled with the referee to draw a warning.

Chelsea held on to the ground for the remainder of the first half, while Shi Hao and Oscar repeatedly caused problems for the Reds on counter-attacks, keeping United from attacking and Chelsea going into the break with a one-goal advantage.

In the dressing room, Jose Mourinho praised the youngster Kurt Zouma. After making a series of mistakes in the last game, Kurt Zouma did not let this slump and quickly recovered his mentality. As a young player, he is a bit reckless and a little impulsive, but it is both a flaw and an advantage – it makes him more passionate and aggressive on the pitch, and if he makes more reasonable use of his body, Chelsea's defence will follow in the post-Terry era.

As for the scorer, Mourinho did not give much praise. His attitude towards Shi Hao is clear - as the attacking heart of the team, scoring goals is just your duty. And Shi Hao is also very useful for this set, after all, he now has to score dozens of goals in a season, and every time he scores a goal, he has to listen to praise, and his ears will be calloused.

There were no personnel changes from either side during the break. In the second half, Chelsea's defence was more ferocious and the defence was much more reactive, making it clear that they were going to play counter-attacks.

In the 54th minute, Drogba brought down McNair in a scramble, and the referee decisively showed him the first yellow card of the game. United tried to take a quick free-kick, but Nemanja Matic cut off their pass path with aggressive movement and sent a through ball as fast as he could.

After Drogba received the ball, he burst into the penalty area like a humanoid tank. In the face of De Gea, his choice was the same as Shi Hao's, and he shot from a tight angle. The ball went over De Gea's fingertips and bounced off the crossbar. Shi Hao quickly followed, and in the face of the empty goal, he volleyed vigorously as if he was venting.

Football is like a cannonball...... Soaring into the sky, hitting the beam and popping out far away! Shi Hao stood in place dumbfounded! The fans at the scene also erupted in a sigh.

This is a ball less than 2 meters from the goal...... Shi Hao actually made a mistake! Jose Mourinho was also crying and laughing on the sidelines.

United escaped, but then their situation did not improve.

In the 61st minute, McNair got up and shot hard after adjusting the ball in the front court, and the ball was blocked by Courtois; Luke. Shaw won the ball on the left, shook off Branislav Ivanovic and sent in a cross that Juan Mata scrambled over from Kurt Zouma and fired just wide.

Six minutes later, Chelsea were the first to make a change, with Ramires coming off the bench to provide an assist for Oscar to continue to strengthen the midfield defence, and Shi Hao was replaced by Willian to save for the Champions League game in midweek.

Soon after, Louis van Gaal sent on Di Maria and Januzaj as substitutes in an attempt to bolster the attack and salvage the slump. In the 77th minute, Luke. Shaw took advantage of his speed down the left and sent a through ball to Falcao, who burst into the box and fired a shot from a tight angle that bounced off the post.

It was also the last time United threatened in front of Chelsea goal.

In the ensuing game, Chelsea retreated to hold the score 1-0 until the end.
