One day after Liverpool played the 29th round of the league, the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals was also settled. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of the eight teams that have advanced to the quarter-finals, only defending champions AC Milan remain in Serie A, which finished in the last three of the Champions League semi-finals last season. La Liga has two teams, Real Madrid and Deportivo La Coruna; There are also two teams in the Premier League, namely Liverpool and Arsenal; The declining Ligue 1 has two teams, Lyon and Monaco, have advanced to the quarterfinals this time, which is really surprising. The last team is last season's UEFA Cup runners-up team FC Porto.

The Portuguese champions, who have almost retained their original squad from last season, have been in excellent form this season. Under the leadership of Jose Mourinho, they eliminated Manchester United in the quarter-finals, showing their true colors as dark horses!

Since after entering the quarterfinals, there is no longer the principle of avoiding teams from the same country in the draw, so the uncertainty of this draw is very large.

AC Milan, Real Madrid, Liverpool and Arsenal are clearly the last people to draw.

As a result, defending champions AC Milan were drawn against Deportivo La Coruna.

Arsenal also had good luck and drew a Ligue 1 side Monaco.

Of the remaining four teams, Real Madrid and Liverpool, two giant teams, were hoping not to draw each other, but it backfired, and the draw guests drew the two teams together.

There was a huge uproar at the draw and there was no doubt that this was the absolute focus of the quarter-finals.

The remaining two teams, Porto and Lyon, are relieved that they both think each other are good opponents!

Queiroz and Benitez, who went to the draw on the spot, both left the venue with sad faces.

After that, however, the media and some neutral fans seemed very excited.

They don't want the entire quarter-finals to be a clear confrontation between the strong and the weak, so that the outcome is clear at a glance, what else is there to see?

Real Madrid vs. Liverpool, that's what they're looking forward to!

Needless to say, Real Madrid has become the most watched football team in the world since Florentino was elected president of Real Madrid and began to implement the superstar policy. This season, after the introduction of David Beckham, Real Madrid's superstar policy has reached its limit. Ronaldo, Raul, Zidane, Figo, Beckham and Carlos, these famous names have all appeared in one team!

In addition to superstars, their record of winning the Champions League nine times in history has also made them the top giants in the Champions League.

Liverpool may not have as many superstars as Real Madrid, but they have been one of the most beautiful teams this season. Unbeaten in all competitions so far, this insane record is absolutely unprecedented in European football.

Even teams such as AC Milan, Real Madrid and Ajax, who once had a dynastic era in European football, could not produce such a horrific record.

You must know that AC Milan, who were unbeaten in a terrible 58 games in the league that year, could not remain unbeaten in all other competitions, but Liverpool did!

In addition, Liverpool also has four European Champions Leagues and is one of the giants in the history of the Champions League!

Such a meeting between the two teams could obviously make the quarter-finals of the Champions League attract a lot of eyeballs.

The media in various European countries are expecting the Galactic Battleship Real Madrid to break Liverpool's unbeaten streak this season.

In particular, the Spanish newspapers Marca and As. Both media outlets are notoriously pro-Real Madrid, and they immediately expressed their support for Real Madrid after the draw ceremony.

They said: Meeting Real Madrid also indicates that the good luck of the Liverpool team has run out!

At this time, except for the British media, the other European media were almost one-sided on the side of Real Madrid. After all, if there really is an invincible division in European football, it will not be a good thing for them!

At the same time, England are supporting Liverpool, after all, they have pinned the hopes of many English fans. Even some of the London media, while they support Arsenal, they do not forget to show solidarity with Liverpool.

Of course, as usual, after the draw ceremony, the media will also be accustomed to throwing out a "conspiracy theory" about the UEFA draw.

Liverpool's local media said that drawing Real Madrid and Liverpool together was quietly designed by UEFA to let the star-studded Real Madrid stop the undefeated Liverpool.

Liverpool's unbeaten record so far this season has obviously caused a little panic in UEFA, and they don't want European football to become a team.

In the Champions League quarter-finals, there are only three traditional powerhouses besides Liverpool, AC Milan are Liverpool's opponents in the group stage, and they have lost twice at the feet of Liverpool, so UEFA is not counting on them.

As for Arsenal, they are from the same league as Liverpool and have not taken advantage of Liverpool in the league. In this way, Real Madrid has naturally become the best choice!

Of course, Chen Xi and his teammates know that the results of such a draw have been determined, and it is useless to analyze them. I can only concentrate on playing these two games!

In fact, for Chen Xi, he still likes the lottery result in his heart. He is very excited to be able to compete with Real Madrid's group of footballers. Moreover, he vaguely remembers that before he crossed over, the Champions League champion this season was Jose Mourinho's Porto, and Real Madrid did not even seem to make it to the semi-finals. In this case, if you don't play Real Madrid again, it is estimated that you will not have a chance in the future!

If his teammates knew what this guy was thinking, they would have scolded him for being a pervert - after the draw ceremony, Liverpool ushered in another round ......of league games against Wolves, the league's vice-captains, and this game was played at Anfield. Almost everyone thinks there is no suspense in this game!

Even though he will face Real Madrid directly in the middle of next week, Benitez still discharged several main players led by Chen Xi in this game.

It also shows Benitez's cautious side. After all, although Wolves are at the bottom of the points, they have not completely lost hope of relegation, and such a team will never be as easy to deal with as the outside world thinks!

As for Benitez's lineup, the Liverpool fans who came to the home stadium raised their hands in favor. Because Chen Xi is only one goal away from the Premier League single-season goal record he holds, and the next round of the league is away, they naturally hope to witness Chen Xi break the record in this round of home games!

After confirming that Chen Xi would start, Yang Xu and the others also came to Anfield to cheer for him. The last time Chen Xi scored a goal in a single season in the Premier League, they witnessed it together, and this time they naturally didn't want to miss it!

After the start of the game, the Wolves did not give up resistance directly as predicted by the outside world, but put on a posture of stubbornness!

Obviously, a point at Anfield would be the best result for them!

After seeing the Wolves' almost 10-to-10 tactics, Benitez was not in a hurry, he sat in his seat leisurely, ready to see the offensive routines he arranged in training show one by one.

Indeed, for nearly twenty minutes after the opening kick-off, the game almost became a rehearsal of Liverpool's attacking routine.

Bottom cross from the wing, penetrate in the middle, hit the back with a straight pass, and shoot from distance...... Liverpool's attacking tactics have turned Wolves into an embarrassed team, and they can only be busy dealing with Liverpool's attack!

Although they have not breached the door of Wolves for a long time, the Liverpool fans in the stands are not in a hurry, they have encountered many teams at Anfield this season, but the result is often Liverpool team to beat the iron bucket to pieces.

The team has shown strength this season, and it has also brought Liverpool back to the feeling of a big fan...... Quite confident!

After playing for almost half an hour in the first half, the goal that Liverpool fans were waiting for finally arrived!

The attack was still launched from the left flank where Chen Xi was.

Chen Xi got the ball on the left side, but the opponent's left side hoarded three defenders. Chen Xi could only keep passing the ball with Ritse, who was inserted, and Gerrard, who was in the middle, and was not in a hurry to advance!

These three people seem to be walking aimlessly, but in fact they are unconsciously moving towards the middle!

Finally, the three of them, who had been moving slowly, suddenly ran violently for a while!

Reese, who took the ball, knocked the ball horizontally to Chen Xi, and then he ran towards the bottom line at high speed, but Gerrard pulled to the edge of the penalty area!

Chen Xi received the ball and prepared to send a through ball to the bottom line on the left side, which made the defender on the right side of the opponent have to run back with Reese!

This time, it obviously emptied Chen Xi's side a lot!

Chen Xi immediately withdrew his right foot and dribbled the ball towards the penalty area.

The midfielder who was originally defending Gerrard had to defend against Chen Xi, and Chen Xi immediately knocked the ball to Gerrard when he saw this, and he suddenly inserted it into the penalty area!

Gerrard received the ball and put on a long-range shot, but after he attracted the opponent's block, he suddenly turned into a push and stuffed the ball into the left rib of the penalty area!

The ball passed through the crowd in the penalty area and came to Chen Xi's feet, Chen Xi was in the dense crowd, took the ball with his left foot, and then did not wait for the surrounding defenders to surround him, and suddenly poked the ball with his right toe, and the ball obediently went directly to the far corner of the goal!

Although Chen Xi's shot is not as strong as a volley, his action is very hidden, and he pokes the ball on his toes, and his speed in short distances is not slow!

The opposition goalkeeper was noticeably slower to react, and by the time he pounced on the side, the ball had already gone past his defence and into the goal behind him!

“goooooooooooooal！！！ Edison ~~~~~~~~~~~~ Chen !! "The elongated voice of the annillator was heard on the radio at Anfield!

Boom~~~ The stands at Anfield Stadium also exploded with amazing energy like a nuclear bomb explosion! The cheers of the fans almost shook the radius of Anfield within a few kilometres!

At this time, the Everton fans who live in this area can only imagine the pomp and circumstance in the stadium. It's been the umpteenth time this season they've heard such horrific cheers from Anfield. In comparison, Goodison Park seems to bring them much less joy.

"It was a clever toe stab! This goal reminds me of the goal scored by the alien Ronaldo against Turkey in the 02 World Cup! The same is in the crowd, the same is to use the right foot toe to complete the hidden shot, the same to make the opponent's goalkeeper look at the ball and sigh. Not only did Edison break the deadlock, but he also equalled his own Premier League single-season record of 36 goals set last season! It only takes one ball for Edison to rewrite the record again!! ”

The fans at the scene obviously knew the significance of this goal, so they sang the "Edison Song" that they changed again: "Oh oh oh la~~~ We have a genius!! Oh oh oh la~~~~ His name is Edison!! Oh oh lala~~~~~ he's King of Anfil!! Oh oh oh la~~~ He's a record finisher! He leads us forward, he makes us invincible!! ”

Chen Xi also looked very excited after the goal, after all, facing the opponent's iron bucket formation is not a comfortable thing after all. But when breaking through the opponent's bucket formation, the sense of accomplishment is greater than the average goal!

Chen Xi was standing under the KOP stands at this time, waving his arms wildly, combined with the "Edison Song" coming out of the stands, he was like a conductor at this time!

Benitez on the sidelines was also smiling and helping Chen Xi applaud. In fact, the reason why he didn't worry about the other party's iron bucket formation was that a large part of his confidence came from Chen Xi. This guy was simply born to break through dense defenses!

The players on the bench also applauded Chen Xi from the bottom of their hearts, and even Danny Murphy, who was squeezed to the bench by Chen Xi, had to admit that the arrival of this Chinese changed the fate of the Liverpool team.

At this time, the Wolves players had nothing but helplessness on their faces. They had been in the vice-squad position since the beginning of the season, and they were finally aroused by his manager's words before this game.

In the first 30 minutes of the game, although passive and embarrassed, this team really twisted the big favorites into a rope. But with Chen Xi's understatement stab, they were shattered into stragglers again.

Most of the people in this team have already silently accepted the result of relegation.

After the game resumed, Chen Xi and his teammates found that the team they were facing at this time seemed to be like two teams in the previous 30 minutes.

The defense line that took a lot of effort to break through before was now broken by them with a single stab!

In the face of such a situation, Chen Xi and they will naturally not be polite, there is still a tough battle with Real Madrid in a few days, the sooner the victory of this game is determined, the sooner they start to relax.

In this way, before the end of the first half, Owen scored another goal to extend the score to 2-0.

Owen's goal also relieved Benitez on the sidelines and Liverpool fans in the stands, and Owen's form in the last game made people worry about whether he was affected by the "gambling turmoil". Now it seems that his problem is not much more. With Real Madrid on the horizon, this is obviously good news!

At halftime, Benitez did not immediately replace the main team, especially Chen Xi. The last time he replaced Chen Xi too early, the fans could not witness Chen Xi break the record at home, but he was attacked by a lot of saliva from the fans. This time he is obedient, in his opinion, in the face of the current Wolves team with no fighting spirit, it obviously won't take too long for Chen Xi to break the record, and it will be necessary to replace him when the time comes.

The fans were also relieved when they saw Chen Xi return to the field in the second half, and they were really worried that Benitez guy would be the same as last time!

After the start of the second half, Chen Xi's teammates obviously knew who was the protagonist on the field. Therefore, many times everyone is creating opportunities for Chen Xi.

Chen Xi naturally will not disappoint everyone's enthusiasm. Just 12 minutes into the second half, he won the ball on the left and broke through to the middle.

After Gerrard and Hesky successively made a wall for Chen Xi, Chen Xi got the ball in the middle of the penalty area, calmly shook off the opponent's absent-minded back, and Chen Xi directly picked up his right foot!

When everyone at the scene thought that he was going to use a powerful long-range shot to complete the attack, everyone found that Chen Xi actually skillfully rubbed the ball, and the ball drew a wonderful rainbow in the air and flew towards the far corner of the goal!

It turned out that Chen Xi also noticed the problem of the opponent's goalkeeper standing in front of him in the process of cutting inside, and this spoon hanging shot obviously caught the opponent's goalkeeper off guard!

“fantastic~~~~~~~~~~~~~~goooooooooooooal！！！ Edison! Edison! Edison! It was his thirty-seventh league goal! He once again set a new Premier League single-season scoring record! He's really a record finisher, made to break records!! ”

When the ball fell into the goal with the stunned expression of the opposing goalkeeper, the fans at the scene sprayed their hot enthusiasm like a long-accumulated volcano. The entire Anfield stands shimmered in a dazzling red, like the hot lava!

Yang Xu and the others were also excited and hugged each other in the stands, as Chen Xi's friends before he became a professional player. Compared with ordinary fans, they are obviously more touched by Chen Xi's success!

After the goal, Chen Xi rushed directly to the KOP stands, just as everyone was waiting for him to take off his clothes again to celebrate, and then pay tribute to the original record. Chen Xi suddenly stopped on the sidelines and made a bowing motion!

"Edison didn't celebrate wildly this time, but gave a salute to the fans! Is he thanking the fans for their support? Yes, he didn't pay tribute to the original record holder this time. Because he's the one who holds the record himself! So, this time he chose to pay tribute to the fans! ”

Chen Xi's move obviously ignited the enthusiasm in the stands of Anfield Stadium, and the fans who have always selflessly supported Chen Xi received his bow and thanks. How many popular stars can really do that to their fans? And Chen Xi did it!

Some of the fans in the stands even shed tears of excitement!

Chen Xi was also very touched by this scene. Sometimes, fans may seem so picky, but in fact they are one of the easiest groups to satisfy!

As long as the players can do their best on the pitch, they will selflessly support their team regardless of success or failure!

When the team encounters difficulties, the fans will cry sadly, when the team has a good record, the fans will be proud and proud, and when the team wins the championship, the fans will cry with emotion and tears!

Therefore, in Chen Xi's heart, the fans are the cutest people in football!

This time, he is also completely grateful from the heart, and the fans obviously feel his sincerity!

Infected by Chen Xi, other teammates who rushed over to celebrate with him also bowed or waved to the fans in the stands.

The team's success this season is certainly due to the hard work of the coaches and players, but without this group of lovely fans and the terrifying atmosphere at Anfield, Liverpool's home games would obviously not be so easy!

Seeing this touching scene, everyone in the stands at Anfield stadium applauded heartily, including a small number of Wolves fans who came here with the team.

Such a scene, even the referee on duty couldn't bear to interrupt it. He stood by until the Liverpool players were finished celebrating, and then called on them to hurry back to their positions!

The game has actually lost its meaning so far, Chen Xi has broken the record, and there is no suspense for the Liverpool team to win.

Therefore, shortly after the game restarted, Chen Xi and Owen were replaced one after another.

When Chen Xi left the field, he did not forget to wave to the fans in the stands again, and the fans returned him with the warmest cheers and applause!

At this time, looking at the fans with happy faces, Chen Xi felt that letting the fans enjoy the joy of football is the greatest meaning of being a player!

In the end, the 3-0 score of this game was not rewritten again, and the Liverpool team continued to soar!
