Chapter 1129 - Easy Forward
is also a giant team, compared with Liverpool, Real Madrid's ending is definitely much more tragic. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Real Madrid are not only the most successful team in the Champions League, but their quality is unquestionable, and the title of Galaxy is the best proof of their quality.
However, in the match against Serie A powerhouse Roma, Real Madrid lost badly.
1:2 away, although the ball was lost, there was still an away goal, against the home and away two knockout games, the probability of such a score reversal was close to 50%, that is to say, such a loss is also a good result, fans and reporters, and even bookmakers are optimistic about Real Madrid's turnaround.
In fact, Real Madrid lost again, and the score was still 1:2, so that the division of kings with the deepest background in the Champions League finally stopped in the round of 16.
Real Madrid's death was unexpected, but it was not wronged at all, losing home and away to Roma, even Real Madrid's own fans could not make excuses for the defeat, all they could do was to chant for President Calderón to step down and coach Schuster to step down.
Real Madrid, who have won the most Champions Leagues, is out, and AC Milan, who have won the second most titles, has also followed in the footsteps of the Galaxy Battleship.
Real Madrid died unjustly, and AC Milan also lost without temper, defending away from home, relying on the Italian team's housekeeping skills to play 0-0. When he returned to the home court, he definitely couldn't continue to defend against it, and he was killed by Arsenal's defense and counterattack.
With a 0:2 loss at home, the fans of the dynasty have nothing to say, and the more they talk, the more embarrassing they are.
After the phone gate, Inter Milan dominated Serie A, but in the Champions League, they still couldn't stand up to the waist, this time when AC Milan was eliminated, they were even more humiliated by Porto eliminated, and died very aggrieved, died in the penalty shootout.
Real Madrid died on themselves, their strength must be stronger than Rome, Milan died because the strength is not as good as Arsenal, and Inter Milan's death is more because of bad luck, but Inter Milan, as a giant team, has invested a lot of money to buy superstars all year round, and has strong strength, but there are few good records in the Champions League, in this sense, this kind of accident also has a certain inevitability.
Two upsets broke out at the relatively easy juncture of 16-8, coupled with Bayern's failure to appear in the group, which is good news for any team aiming to win the title.
Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona these five giants are unusually relaxed and happy, they know that winning the championship is easy again, with penalties to eliminate the opponent Fenerbahce and Porto, lucky to beat Real Madrid's Roma, they are also very happy, they have no ambition to win the championship in the end, they are already very happy to come to this point, of course, if they can go further, of course they will be more happy, because it is not only a matter of honor, but also a very important bonus. What better prize for a small team than money.
After the quarter-finals, the bookmakers are still the defending champions Liverpool and Barcelona, the two of which are indeed outstanding, and there are superstars in the field, as long as the bookmakers are not blind, they will not be optimistic
As for the Gunners Arsenal, with their current state, winning the championship is a trivial matter, but as the youngest team in the entire Champions League, Arsenal's state is indeed difficult to guess, with ups and downs, so these are important reasons why Arsenal has not been able to rank first.
Manchester United are in good shape right now, although their opponent is the Ligue 1 champion Lyon, but Manchester United did not give Lyon too many chances, they got an away goal on the road, and then returned to the home field with a defensive counter-attack tactic to kill Lyon.
Chelsea were beaten against a modest opponent and the Blues, who had already been knocked out in a brutal league title race, were pinning their hopes on the Champions League, with their opponents Olympiacos comfortably knocked out 3-0.
On the second day, the eight teams in the second round of the Champions League knockout round were all revealed: Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Barcelona, Roma, Porto and Fenerbahce.
The biggest winner is the Premier League, which dominates half of the top eight and has only been achieved in Serie A in recent years.
Now that the Premier League is in its prime, the British media is already clamoring that the Premier League is the number one league in the world.
Italy is not convinced by this sentence, but there is no way, now they only have Rome to reach the quarterfinals, barely saving a little face, but the semi-finals are the limit of Rome, and the championship has nothing to do with them at all.
Spanish fans and the media are even more unconvinced by this sentence, in recent years, the Premier League, Serie A, La Liga have staged the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, sometimes it has the upper hand, sometimes it has the upper hand, no one can dominate the Champions League, so they are not convinced by each other, but today Spanish fans dare not say more, there is only one Barcelona left in the quarterfinals, and the Premier League has scored four, so the Spanish media is also concerned about him, and he only briefly mentioned the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals yesterday, focusing on Barcelona, Then he started talking about star scandals, which made people feel a little intriguing.
The results of the draw for the quarter-finals were then in, with Liverpool drawing a draw against their home league rivals Arsenal.
The old rival Manchester United was lucky, pinched an opponent who said that it was not strong or weak, that is, Rome who eliminated Real Madrid, although Rome was able to eliminate Real Madrid, but that was Real Madrid's death, if Manchester United played steadily, Rome's chances were very small.
Chelsea, who have been suffering in the league, have finally had their luck in the face of Turkish side Fenerbahce. This is the weakest of the top 8, although Porto is very depressed now, but he was once a Champions League winner, and the heritage and glory are in the front, which is incomparable to Fenerbahce.
Barcelona drew Porto, this is a contest between European Latins, the two sides play the same style, and they are very familiar with each other, Barcelona must be satisfied with Porto, but Porto is helpless to draw Barcelona.
Changing to other teams, Porto almost always has a technical advantage, playing hard, and may have a glimmer of life, but when encountering Barcelona, the ancestor of the technical stream, Porto is likely to die miserably.
The first leg of the quarter-finals will be played on April 2.
This is a two-week break from the second leg of the last Champions League quarter-finals, but Liverpool is also difficult to rest, after playing the Champions League game, Chen Yu slept soundly and then began to train intensely.
The 29th round of the Premier League kicks off three days after the Champions League match, with Liverpool facing the Magpies and Newcastle United, Manchester United Bolton, Chelsea Derby County and Wigan Athletic.
The league has reached the most critical stage, and at this time it is impossible to lose a point, and losing it means losing the initiative and becoming a chaser, which is unacceptable to every team competing for the championship.
In the second leg of the Champions League, Liverpool played relatively easily, and the main force did not consume much physical energy, which played a big role in the league against Newcastle United.
At the beginning, Newcastle United's defensive counterattack played well, and they thought that Liverpool had been fighting on multiple fronts recently, and their physical fitness should not be too good, and they were ready to drag Liverpool to death.
Liverpool, of course, wanted a quick decision, but Newcastle United made up their minds to play a counter-attack, waiting without a counter-attacking opportunity, allowing Liverpool to play a lot at home.
However, luck found Liverpool near the end of the first half.
At that time, Chen Yu Chen Yu tore apart the defense on the side, seeing that there were so many players on both sides in the middle, where there would be a good opportunity, so he vigorously swept the ball into the penalty area to see who touched it and whether it could create an accident.
Chen Yu's kick made a lot of strength, the speed of the ball flying was extremely fast, and those who were far away from the flight route could only watch, so fast that they subconsciously raised their legs.
The Newcastle United players don't want to touch the ball, but the more they don't want to, the more things come to you.
Newcastle United's 'grand prize' was won by captain Enrique.
Enrique couldn't dodge the ball in the path it flew, and the ball bounced off Enrique's leg and flew towards the goal.
Newcastle United's goalkeeper Habo is definitely a good goalkeeper, but no matter how good the goalkeeper is, there is nothing he can do about such a close-range shot, so he can only watch the ball fly into the net.
After this own goal, the confidence that supported Newcastle United for 43 minutes finally collapsed, and without confidence, Newcastle United's combat effectiveness was seriously reduced, and then Liverpool scored three goals in five minutes in a row to directly seal the win.
Liverpool played cleanly and once again bought time for Liverpool's main players to rest.
However, the bigger surprise came from the second day, the match between Arsenal and Wigan Athletic on the second day was supposed to be no suspense, because Wigan Athletic's strength is also second-rate strength, and Arsenal has just eliminated AC Milan, the Champions League hegemon, and it is not easy to win Wigan Athletic.
However, to everyone's surprise, this second-rate squad relied on fierce pressing and tight defensive tactics to force Arsenal to draw.
This is simply pie in the sky, and Liverpool has to accept it if it doesn't accept it.
After Arsenal draws, Liverpool has pulled the point gap with Arsenal to 4 points, which is a very good phenomenon, which means that Liverpool has the ability and strength to make mistakes, which is very helpful to the players.
The only regret for Liverpool is that their old rival Manchester United has been very consistent and very good, beating Bolton Wanderers by 2 goals in this round, and has surpassed Arsenal in points, only 1 point away from Liverpool, becoming Liverpool's biggest henchman.
As for Chelsea, although they beat vice-leaders Derby County by six goals, Chelsea have actually abandoned the league and are aiming for the FA Cup and Champions League, and this round of the FA Cup knockout quarter-finals, Chelsea meet Liverpool in a narrow way.
