The Anfield stadium was filled with muffled singing again, but the mood of the Liverpool fans was cheerful at the moment. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Liverpool beat Chelsea 1-0 at home in 90 minutes of regulation time and drew 1-1 on aggregate. In extra-time that followed, neither side could find the back of the net and the game went to penalties.

In the shoot-out, Reyna made a brilliant save to save Robben and Geremi's penalties in succession, and Liverpool led Chelsea 3-1 after three rounds.

Liverpool's fourth appearance was Kuyt, who walked to the penalty spot, where Kuyt bent down to fiddle with the ball and then took a few steps back and stood there with his hands on his hips. After the referee blew the whistle, Kuyt ran and shot directly to the right side of the goal, although Cech made the right judgment, but the ball was too fast, he could not stop Kuyt's shot, 4-1!

“goal！”

There was a revelry inside the Anfield stadium, with Liverpool fans chanting "thisisanfield" from the stands. Reaching the final twice in three years, even if they don't do anything in the league, is enough to be proud of.

Mourinho, who stood on the sidelines with his head held high, could not tell from his expression that he was a loser.

With the glory of the treble, he landed at Stamford Bridge and led Chelsea to the league title in his first season, breaking the monopoly of Manchester United and Arsenal on the Premier League title and creating the Iron Blues. However, in the Champions League, they lost 1-0 to their immediate rivals Liverpool and reached the semi-finals.

In his second season, he led Chelsea to a strong title, surpassing Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger to become only the second manager after Alex Ferguson to defend his title in the Premier League. However, in the Champions League, they were defeated again, and in the quarter-finals, they were beaten by the mighty Barcelona, who lost 2-3 over two legs and were kept out of the quarter-finals.

This season they recruited and were determined to win the Champions League, but once again they fell out of the door to the final.

With the league title on the sidelines and the Champions League eliminated, Chelsea are left with only trophy left to compete for, the FA Cup.

But the FA Cup title was not able to satisfy the ambitions of the Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich. What he needs is for the team to be at the top of Europe, and he needs the Champions League trophy, which symbolizes the team's highest honour.

Abramovich has been rumored to have lost patience with Jose Mourinho, and this defeat will undoubtedly push him to the brink of resignation.

Although Benitez has been in the media spotlight as a winner, Mourinho has never been a missing figure, and he remains the focus of the media in the Premier League and even across Europe, even when he loses.

Mourinho, who held his head high under the camera, walked into the field and comforted his disciples. After comforting his players, Jose Mourinho attended the post-match press conference. First of all, he congratulated Liverpool and Benitez and wished them the best of luck in the Champions League final.

'You've done well in the league but haven't been able to reach the Champions League final for three seasons in a row and there are rumours that Abou has lost patience with you and they are looking for a suitable manager to replace you. Can you share your personal opinion on this matter? ”

Looking at the reporter, Mourinho smiled, "He is a successful businessman and a successful boss, he naturally knows what kind of person can bring him what, and I am the coach who can bring him a championship!" ”

This passage fully reflects Mourinho's self-confidence, but is this really the case?

After failing to reach the final in the Champions League for three consecutive seasons, Abu did lose patience with him, and when he returned to the dressing room after the game, he did receive a text message from Abu saying that he wanted to talk to him. Mourinho, of course, knows that Abu's so-called talk is not as simple as a simple conversation over a cup of tea, it certainly contains the future direction of the club, and even about his future. If you can't get a grade, it's not impossible to get out of class. But now that the team still has a trophy to fight for, he doesn't want his dismissal rumours to affect the player's form.

After answering a few questions from reporters in a witty and clever manner, Mourinho left the press conference and went straight back to the hotel to find Abu.

He did need to talk to Abu about his future.

The FA Cup was a lifesaver for him to continue at Chelsea.

With Liverpool's victory over Chelsea to reach the Champions League final, all eyes are looking forward to another Champions League semi-final tomorrow night.

Is the Champions League final a national derby? Whether Liverpool take on AC Milan to repeat the 2005 Champions League final will depend on tomorrow night's game.

However, the media have different opinions on whether the Champions League final will be staged in the English national derby or a re-entry of the 05 Champions League final.

From the Daily Mirror, the Daily Mail, the Manchester Evening News, the London Evening Standard to The Times and The Guardian, they are all there to support Manchester United in the final, looking forward to the English derby on the stage of the Champions League final. Because it is not only a symbol of the success of Manchester United and Liverpool in the Champions League, but also the success of English football.

After the Times and The Guardian expressed their support for Manchester United, the English media, large and small, were all there overnight chanting slogans calling for United to reach the final.

Of course, they are not shouting empty slogans there without any reason.

They did a lot of analysis from the results of the first leg between the two sides and the performances of the players.

5-3, first of all, in terms of scoreline, Manchester United have an advantage, and on the road they only need to guarantee that they will not concede a goal or concede fewer goals to qualify for the final.

However, at a time when England's large and small media are building momentum for Manchester United, there seems to be one media outlet that has not expressed its support, and that is the Echo from Liverpool.

Their reports were full of news that Liverpool had reached the Champions League final again, and they hoped that Liverpool would be able to beat AC Milan at the Olympic Stadium in Athens and repeat the glory night in Istanbul.

The Manchester Evening News made a joke about the Echo's lack of support for Manchester United's performance: "Maybe they are worried that they won't be able to lift the trophy after Manchester United reach the final!" ”

The Manchester Evening News joke is not funny at all for Liverpool fans, as it has been a long time since Liverpool have been able to beat Manchester United in a game.

This is a serious problem.

While the English media chanted slogans of support for Manchester United, the Italian media also stood up for AC Milan.

5-3, it is true that Manchester United have the advantage in the scoreline, but back at home AC Milan only need two goals, and all five goals of Manchester United will be nullified.

In the two legs, when the score is the same, the first consideration is the away goal, and whoever has the most away goals will get the promotion place.

AC Milan's goalscoring efficiency in recent times has not been low, Kaka's form has been explosive, and Inzaghi's return will increase the threat of AC Milan in attack. Coupled with the fact that Manchester United's backline is not neat and the crippled backline is not solid, and the goals have been conceded in recent games, so the Italian media believe that AC Milan will definitely be able to beat Manchester United at the San Siro.

Although the Italian media analysis is very reasonable, the Manchester United players still expressed their own different opinions.

At the pre-match press conference, Ronaldo told the media in a high-profile manner: "Yes, they have an advantage of three away goals, but it doesn't mean anything, because I will score goals to erase their advantage, the title belongs to Manchester United!" ”

Cristiano Ronaldo's words sounded a bit harsh to AC Milan fans and Liverpool fans, but they greatly boosted the confidence of Manchester United fans, and some Manchester United fans are even already booking tickets for the Champions League final.

"Don't be ashamed! I hope at the end of the game, he doesn't cry and look for his mother! ”

AC Milan midfielder Gattuso scoffed after listening to Ronaldo's words, and his strong counterattack pulled this game to a higher heat! (To be continued.) )
