It's a pity that Prandelli's prayers were busy with God, and his old man didn't hear them, so no one miracles happened.

Until the end of the game, Juventus were unable to pull back a crucial goal.

In the end, they lost 0-2 away to Barcelona and were eliminated 1-2 on aggregate.

The defending champions of Serie A were eliminated in the first round of the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

For Juventus, even if their opponent is Barcelona, the result is a bit embarrassing.

After the game, pro-Juventus media began to criticize the UEFA draw, while others criticized Chang Sheng and Lazio.

That's a bit of a brain hole.

Juventus was eliminated, what happened to Changsheng and Lazio?

Juventus supporters analyzed it this way - because Lazio has been too strong in the Champions League for more than ten years, which is not conducive to the overall development of European football, and Lazio has won the championship for a long time, Lazio won the championship, and Lazio won the championship again...... How does this make other teams mix?

Coupled with a brief break with AC Milan in the middle, the two teams combined to win ten Champions Leagues.

In 16 years, the Italian team has won 10 Champions Leagues.

Italian football is too strong, isn't it?

Therefore, UEFA is definitely going to suppress Italian football.

It's just that when Lazio was in its heyday, UEFA didn't have the guts.

When Lazio finally began to decline, UEFA raised its butcher's knife to Italian football.

Lazio were drawn to the Group of Death, while Juventus met favourites Barcelona in the first round of the knockout round.

If it weren't for Lazio's momentum, how could UEFA think of suppressing the Italian team?

If it weren't for the Italian team, Juventus would not have been innocently shot this time......

The logic of these people is really strange, and what is even more bizarre is that there are still many people who believe it.

They really think that Lazio is the culprit behind Juventus' elimination, or even behind it!

It is also believed that Juventus died a very tragic death. It was completely for Lazio to block the gun......

So Lazio is even more responsible for Juventus' failure.

In response, Chang Sheng said after the game: "If anyone thinks that it was us who caused Juventus' defeat, I have to say ...... I am very honored to receive this award, and I love the result myself! ”

Angry enough for those yin and yang Juventus supporters.

A day later, Lazio hosted a match against Celtic.

As everyone predicted before the game, there was no suspense, and Lazio, who rotated the lineup, defeated Celtic 2-1 at home, eliminated the opponent with an aggregate score of 6-1, and advanced to the quarterfinals.

One was eliminated and the other advanced easily. Juventus fans must be looking at Lazio more and more unpleasantly.

They even think that Lazio's victory over Celtic with a rotating lineup is deliberately mocking Juventus.

The media that supported Juventus began to cheer Juventus on.

He also wrote a long article analyzing that Juventus' prospects for the league title are actually better than Lazio's.

Because they were eliminated from the Champions League.

While being eliminated is not a good thing, it can also motivate Juventus to focus on the domestic league.

Lazio are now fighting on three fronts – the domestic league, the Coppa Italia and the Champions League.

Fighting on three fronts, they certainly can't guarantee a good performance on every front.

In the Coppa Italia, they have reached the final, and it is certainly not going to give up.

And as the Champions League deepens, from the round of 16 to the top eight. And then from the quarterfinals to the semi-finals...... There will also be more and more conflicts between the Champions League and the league.

Which league or Champions League to choose?

Do you still remember how Chang Sheng spoke harshly to Real Madrid at the beginning? He told Real Madrid that one day he would surpass Real Madrid in the number of Champions League titles.

Now he's one step away from that goal.

He has equalled Real Madrid's tally of nine Champions League titles.

So in terms of the choice of Champions League and league, he must choose 100% of the Champions League.

In this way, Juventus can regain the opportunity to overtake Lazio.

With only one league title left to fight for, this is the best result.

If the Champions League is not eliminated, Juventus will fight on multiple fronts like Lazio. It is quite possible that both ends will collapse in the end.

Successfully defending the league title is more important for Juventus than winning the Champions League.

The winning streak was just the beginning of a dynasty.

Then next season, when Lazio don't have a regular win, what will they do to fight Juventus?

Once Juventus has dealt with the domestic threat, they can focus on Europe.

Although the media's statement is somewhat Ah Q spirit. But objectively speaking, it's quite correct.

Juventus, who can only win one title, will inevitably give their best in the league, and they don't have to think about saving their strength to play in the Champions League.

The players' quest to win** will also be stronger.

It would be a shame if they didn't win any titles this season.

Even if they just don't get laughed at, they will work harder than usual.

In the next league. Lazio and Juventus are entangled, with the two sides alternating to lead the league standings.

When Lazio lost to Atalanta. Juventus took the opportunity to complete the overtake.

However, Juventus fans were only happy for a week, and the following week Juventus were held to a draw away from Genoa and Lazio beat Cagliari away. The two sides were evenly divided, with Lazio overtaking Juventus on goal difference and the win-loss relationship between the two sides to regain the top spot in the league.

By the time the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was played, Lazio were provisionally top of the rankings, two points ahead of Juventus.

For Parma, Lazio took a rotation. A number of substitutes started before beating Parma 2-0 at their own home.

In this way, Lazio will not be killed by any team this season.

Juventus, on the other hand, also beat Napoli away and continued to chase Lazio.

The difference between the two teams is still two points.

Everyone still has a chance.

The match against Parma was followed by Lazio's Champions League quarter-finals against Manchester United.

※※※

The match against Manchester United is the quarter-final of the Champions League.

In the quarterfinals. When Lazio drew the draw for Celtic, many people said that UEFA took care of Lazio, and this draw was too smooth.

There are also those who believe that UEFA has surrendered to the usual victory.

A team like Juventus was also indignant that Lazio had been drawn a good signing.

As a result, no one said it now.

Only then did everyone find out that UEFA and Chang Sheng were really mortal enemies......

In the quarter-finals, they were drawn against the Premier League's traditional giants Manchester United.

At the same time, according to the matchup situation and rules, if Lazio can break through Manchester United, then the winner of Barcelona and Bayern Munich will be waiting for them in the semi-finals.

Neither Barcelona nor Bayern Munich is an easy team to play against.

The result of such a draw is already obvious - UEFA is against Lazio.

The previous match against Celtic was just a change of pace.

From the quarterfinals to the final, Lazio had to go through two very insurmountable hurdles in a row.

Right now. In the first level, Manchester United appeared in front of them.

In the past, Manchester United was still a defeated player under Lazio, and it was a type of defeat that was repeated repeatedly.

The earliest feud between the two teams began in the 2007-2008 season, when Lazio and Manchester United met at the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow in the Champions League final.

Then Lazio beat Manchester United. It was the first Champions League title in the history of Lazio clubs.

And the old man Ferguson has only one Champions League title until his retirement, which is also thanks to Lazio.

Since then, the two sides have formed a bond.

The following season, Lazio also met Manchester United in the quarter-finals.

The two teams came into a Mars crash to Earth, complete with injuries, red cards, riots and reversals...... All the elements of a classic game are there.

After two hard-fought games, Lazio eliminated Manchester United, but they also exerted too much energy in these two games. Eliminated by Bayern Munich in the semi-finals.

In the 2010-2011 season, Lazio met Manchester United again, this time in the semi-finals.

On aggregate over two legs, Lazio beat Manchester United 3-1. They reached the final and defeated Barcelona in the final to claim their third Champions League title in four seasons, officially starting Lazio's dominance of European football.

And what about Manchester United. went in the other direction.

Ferguson retired with the regret of not winning a second Champions League, and the Ferguson dynasty that lasted for more than two decades collapsed. Manchester United are leaderless.

Over the next seven years, the Reds changed nine managers, with ups and downs, and even fell into the relegation zone at one point, almost being relegated.

It wasn't until Jose Mourinho became Manchester United's manager that the Reds got back on track.

This season, Manchester United competed with Chelsea and Arsenal for the league title, and even had a faint upper hand. It is currently ranked first for the time being.

This kind of performance has made many people look forward to the return of the original Red Devil dynasty!

Last season, Jose Mourinho's Manchester United reached the Champions League final and met Chelsea, only to be knocked out on penalties by Chelsea.

The defeat in this game has left Mourinho in his mind, and he has said on more than one occasion that the defeat in that game was not the real difference in quality between Manchester United and Chelsea. The implication is that he is not reconciled, and he still wants to make a comeback.

This season's Manchester United is more mature in all aspects, and it does have the strength to attack the championship on both fronts.

Provisionally topped the league and comfortably qualified from the group in the Champions League by a very large margin, before progressing all the way to the quarter-finals. Basically, I didn't have any major problems. They get the most out of their fast play.

They will be the fierce rivals on the road to the final.
