Chapter 758: Entering the Champions League Final Again

When Nicolas Anelka slotted the ball into the empty net, there was a huge shout over Stamford Bridge, a simple decibel that would have killed the previous one, and all Chelsea fans knew that the goal had reached this season's Champions League final with half their feet in it!

“Gooooooooooooooooooal——!! 3:1, we lead Barcelona with an aggregate score of 5:2!! Perfect Revenge!! ”

The Chelsea fans driving on the streets of London subconsciously honked the horn in the middle of the steering wheel as they listened to the chanting emanating from the car radio.

Only London's Stamford Bridge was playing the crucial second leg of the Champions League semi-final on the night, so the loud horns erupted through the streets of London in response to the shouts that erupted at Stamford Bridge, making it feel like Chelsea fans were watching live TV from their homes.

'Chelsea lead Barcelona 5-2 on aggregate and if Barcelona are to qualify for the Champions League final, they will have to score three goals in the remaining 13 minutes of regulation time, and they will have to build on the premise that the backline will not concede any more goals, but ...... We all know that this result is almost impossible to happen, and Ai's form is almost to guarantee Chelsea a second consecutive season in the Champions League final!! ”

Lineker ignored his identity and calmly stood on Chelsea's side and raised his arms and shouted.

"The ball is in, the ball is in! Chelsea took advantage of Barcelona's all-out pressure to play the classic quick counter-attack, and although Airo's shot was denied by the right post, Anelka reacted very quickly and slotted the ball into the empty net before Puyol, giving Chelsea a 5-2 aggregate lead over Barcelona with less than 13 minutes of normal time!! ”

Huang Jianxiang was also excited at this moment.

Messi was more than sixty meters away from Iro, but he still saw the twitch between Iro's eyebrows.

But he already knew he couldn't do anything back, no matter how hard he tried, but he couldn't do anything in front of a solid Chelsea defence, as evidenced by the fact that he didn't score for 30 minutes in the second half.

But...... He wasn't going to give up!

In fact, I had already made up my mind before the start of the second half, even if we couldn't beat Chelsea with Iroh this season, then next season we would make a comeback!

"Let's go, the game is over." Ferguson patted his assistant Mike Ferran on the shoulder and stood up.

The game was only in the 77th minute, and someone chose to leave the field, which naturally attracted the attention of the on-site director, you must know that even if the Barcelona expeditionary force did not leave the field after the team fell behind Chelsea 3:1, as a home fan, there was no reason to leave the field early, so the on-site director will be a shot.

"Oh? This is...... Old handsome Ferguson! ”

A neutral commentator exclaimed.

At first, many commentators were just as excited as he was, but after half a second the attention was drawn to the two teams in the game, and the second leg of the Champions League semi-final will determine United's Champions League final opponents, it was no surprise that Ferguson was present at Stamford Bridge as Manchester United manager.

Add to that the fact that Manchester United beat Arsenal 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium last night, and there is no problem with staying in London for an extra day, after all, Manchester United are already hopeless of winning the Premier League.

In the end, Pep Guardiola made a last-ditch effort to replace Marquez at guest full-back with Bojan, and the team's formation changed to a frantic three, four, three.

Mourinho made a-for-tat substitution immediately, replacing Modric with Essien to strengthen the defense.

With just over 10 minutes left, there is no need to continue attacking, and it would be a good idea to brush up on the team's defensive prowess in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final before the Champions League final, and to play Manchester United in an FA Cup final at the new Wembley Stadium in seven days' time.

The Barcelona players who conceded another goal became even more anxious, but the rush did not help them, but instead made their passing football nondescript.

When the game reached the 80th minute, Pep Guardiola waved his hand, and Chelsea, who were fully defensive, had no choice but to choose a simple and rough cross from the wing, and the three defensive players of Yaya Toure, Sergio Busquets and Pique all became central strikers.

However, the simple and rough style of play really gave Barcelona hope.

In the 88th minute, Messi shook Ashley Cole down the right flank with a series of shakes, and before Essien could fill in the position, Pique pushed Terry from the back up to head the ball into the goal of Cech.

"There's still a chance!" The Catalan commentator was thrilled the moment Pique put the ball into the goal: "In the 88th minute of the game, Pique helped Barcelona to make the score 2:3, two goals away!" ”

Despite conceding a goal in the final minutes of regular time, Mourinho, who was standing on the sidelines, did not appear too angry, but just stretched out his palms and stroked the corners of his mouth in the shape of a horn to loudly remind the players on the field to pay attention to defense.

Of course, Iroh is also reminded that if he has the chance, he can fight back!

The Barcelona players on the pitch were also very excited, and Pique pushed Cech away in front of goal, then picked up the ball in the net and placed it in the centre circle to wait for Chelsea to kick off.

But...... Until the last minute of stoppage time, there was no change in the scoreboard.

3:2

In the last minute, the ball was at the feet of the Chelsea players, who were in no hurry to attack because they had two goals in hand, passing back and forth in the middle and back, hoping to exhaust the last time.

Almost all Barcelona players have opted to give up, with the exception of Messi who has been teased like a headless fly by Chelsea's midfielders.

Until there was about half a minute left in the game, the referee Obrebo couldn't stand it anymore and decisively blew the end whistle with two short and one long.

"Champions League final! Final!! We're going to defend the title!! ”

"Chelsea, Ai ...... Awesome!! It's the final again! ”

"We are going to be the king of Europe again!"

At the same time, there was another huge cheer over Stamford Bridge, and the Chelsea fans felt as if they were at the centre of the eruption.

The game was over and Chelsea beat Barcelona 3-2 at home to advance to the 2008-2009 Champions League final at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome with an aggregate score of 5-3, where they faced Manchester United, who beat Arsenal last night! Interestingly, this season's Champions League final is a repeat of last season's Champions League final! ”

Sky TV commentator Andy Gray gave his own closing lines.

With the referee's two short and one long final whistles, the second leg of the final Champions League semi-final of the 2008-2009 season was announced, and Chelsea beat Barcelona 3-2 at home, eliminating their opponents with an aggregate score of 5-3 to advance to this season's Champions League final! Congratulations to Chelsea, congratulations to Elo!! ”

Huang Jianxiang blurted out, and the joy could be heard very lightly from his tone.

And his joy was also transmitted to the land of China, and countless Chinese fans cheered at Iello leading Chelsea to the Champions League final again, and in front of Iroh it was an even greater record, leading the same team to win the Champions League for two consecutive years!

This is a result that has never happened since the Champions League was restructured.

※※※

The Chinese and British reporters gathered in the press section of Stamford Bridge were particularly happy, the former because Chelsea's attacking core Iroh led the team to beat Barcelona 3-2 with one shot and two passes, achieving a personal record of reaching the Champions League final in three consecutive seasons, which is extremely rare in the history of the Champions League, so as Chinese, they are excited from the bottom of their hearts......

The excitement of the British journalist is a little more complicated.

Of course, the bias towards Chelsea FC is different, and they are genuinely happy that Chelsea have reached the Champions League final for the second consecutive season, and if Chelsea can beat Manchester United at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome, they will set a new record since the Champions League was restructured.

Most of the British media is because Premier League teams have dominated three of the Champions League semi-finals and the Champions League final for two consecutive seasons.

The UEFA Champions League is the top football competition in Europe, and the Premier League team has been able to have such a brilliant record in the past two seasons, which can fully show that the Premier League is already the best league in Europe, and La Liga can only rank second at most!

While there was a huge cheer from the stands, the British media also flocked to the Chelsea players.

At this time, Guardiola humbly walked to the front of the home team's coach's seat and took the initiative to shake hands with Mourinho, "Jose, Jiang is still old and spicy, we will definitely eliminate you next year!" ”

"Okay, I'll wait!" The team qualified for the final again and Mourinho was in a very good mood.

Guardiola didn't play any more tricks, but turned around with a smile, and there were still many players on the pitch waiting for him to comfort.

Iniesta, Sergio Busquets, and Bojan all sat on the grass with their arms on the ground, and Messi stood in place with his waist crossed, which was the Chelsea half that had just grabbed the ball......

Iroh walked over and patted Messi on the shoulder as a gesture of sympathy.

But what I didn't expect was that Messi didn't pay attention to it at all, but turned around, leaving a big back.

Iroh, on the other hand, stretched his right arm straight and didn't react until two seconds later, awkwardly retracting his arm and then shrugging his shoulders again, also choosing to turn around and share the joy of victory with his teammates.

Guardiola, who was walking towards Messi, saw Messi refusing Iello's handshake, and instinctively frowned, a little dissatisfied with Messi's reaction, it was not that the team lost at Stamford Bridge, after all, he took over Barcelona for just one season, and the core tactics have not yet been integrated into the team, and it is normal for him to be eliminated by Chelsea with a mature playing style, and he is dissatisfied with Messi's attitude......

However, thinking of Messi's character, I was relieved a lot, so I turned around and walked to the other players.

It is worth mentioning that the scene where Messi refused to shake hands with Iroh was also recorded in the camera by a caring reporter.
