The score of both teams has become 3:0.

This score means that there is no suspense in the game, although the Everton players are still fighting on the field, but in fact the players of both teams know that the result of the game will not be in suspense, so Benitez began to make substitutions.

Zhang Tiehan and Garcia were all substituted.

After the two went off the pitch, the game continued between the two teams, and the pressure on Everton was much less, and they used the goal in the last minute of the game to save a little face, but that was all. The final score between the two teams was 3:1 and Liverpool won the derby.

With another league win, Liverpool are firmly in third place in the league, but still a point behind Manchester United, who are second in the league with a game in hand, which is a bit unexpected – Liverpool's recent results have been unexpected, as have United's results.

Manchester United are better than Liverpool, there is no Champions League pressure, they are focused on the league, they have won seven consecutive league games, and this result has put pressure on Chelsea in front of them.

Liverpool also has a good appearance, but it is only four consecutive wins, which is still the result achieved since Zhang Tiehan's comeback, in the league, Liverpool wants to catch up with Manchester United is not easy, you must know that Manchester United has one less game, if Manchester United can win this game, Manchester United is equal to four points more than them.

In the late stages of the league, four points is simply fatal.

Of course, Liverpool should probably not be too demanding, their main focus is still on the Champions League, and even after the Everton game, no one mentioned Liverpool's next league game, and the game against West Bromwich Albion seemed to be overlooked, and it was not until the day of the game that the media mentioned it slightly.

West Bromwich Albion have not had a great season, having been hovering around the relegation zone and currently sit fourth from bottom in the league by just one point. The result of their collision with Liverpool seems to be destined for a closer paradise and a difficult quagmire.

The final score was 2:0.

After the victory was confirmed, Benitez replaced Zhang Tiehan and Alonso in order to save his strength, and won this league game, and Liverpool continued to keep an eye on Manchester United in the league. Save hopes of fighting for second place in the league.

West Bromwich Albion are sinking deeper into the relegation quagmire and are currently leading the bottom three on goal difference.

But no one paid attention to West Bromwich Albion, everyone was more concerned about the competition between Liverpool and Manchester United, although the victory over West Bromwich Albion, but there was no good news for Liverpool after the game, Manchester United also won the opponent and won the replay match with Fulham the next day, that is, the points gap between Liverpool and Manchester United became a real four points. With only five rounds left in the league, it's very difficult to equalise the points.

However, Liverpool have no time to care about the league at this time, and their full focus is on the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in three days' time, going to the Camp Nou to face Barcelona.

All eyes of fans across Europe are on the Champions League.

The clash between Liverpool and Barcelona is the most watched of the four matchups, and the clash between the two teams is already interesting, Liverpool are the defending champions, and they have last season's European Golden Boot. With these two points, Liverpool is eye-catching enough. Barcelona are arguably one of the strongest teams, and their football is so gorgeous that it attracts everyone.

In the first leg, the result of the two teams was 3:2, Liverpool had a goal advantage, Barcelona had an away goal, and such a score made the second leg full of suspense.

A few days before the start of the second round. Football news in Europe began to be full of reports about both teams, covering everything from the recent situation of the two teams, including the history of the two teams, as well as the line-ups of the two teams. These reports are all about paving the way for the second leg of the two teams.

In various reports, both teams are also preparing for the match.

Liverpool have been preparing for the game, and the mid-leg matches against Everton and West Bromwich Albion are not actually in Benitez's plans, and he has not even made any preparations for these two games, only thinking about the Champions League against Barcelona.

For Liverpool, the Champions League is all that matters.

Maybe they haven't won the league title for many years, and Liverpool fans would prefer the team to make a breakthrough in the league, but that is unrealistic for Liverpool at the moment, after all, there are only a few rounds left in the league, and the hope of winning the championship is too slim.

The most practical is the Champions League.

Not only the glory of the Champions League, but also the income from the Champions League, the latter is very important for a club, especially Liverpool's economy has always had problems, if you can earn more in the Champions League this season, it will be quite good for the team.

In addition, Benitez has his own ideas.

When it comes to the best coach in recent years, everyone will think of Mourinho, this Portuguese has really done a good job, in Porto, he has won the 'small treble' and the 'big treble' in two seasons, such a result is amazing, after all, Porto is only a Portuguese giant, and it is a bit incredible for a minor league giant to win the League Cup and the Champions League in two seasons.

So Mourinho became famous.

He came to England, he came to Chelsea, but Benitez, who became famous with Mourinho and led the team to a good time, was overlooked, in fact, he came to England in the same year as Mourinho, Mourinho coached Chelsea, he coached Liverpool.

The age difference between the two is only one year.

But the whole world is paying attention to Mourinho, and the attention to Benitez is limited to 'a good Spanish coach', that's it, Benitez is naturally unwilling, and after leading Liverpool to win the Champions League last season, he has not received much attention, and the media's evaluation of Liverpool is 'the Red Army has created a miracle', as for Benitez, he is probably ignored.

It's a new season again.

What if Liverpool win the Champions League again?

Occasionally, Benitez thinks the same way, he knows that he is not the kind of person who attracts the attention of the media, but as a football coach and a public figure, he naturally wants more people to recognize him, and if Liverpool can still win the Champions League, the whole world will probably pay attention to Liverpool at that time. Have you noticed yourself as Liverpool manager?

maybe

That's what Benitez was thinking

Two days into the game, Liverpool got the bad news that Reese was injured and couldn't play.

Reese's injury was not severe, only a bare foot injury, which could have healed after a two-week rest, but it also caused him to miss the game against Barcelona.

The loss of Reeser before the Great War was by no means good news. In the Liverpool team, although Reese is not the most important player, he is a rare reliable player on the side of Liverpool, his defense is very solid, and he can also give some support to the front court in attack, and Reese is the kind of player who can play in any position, with him, it is easier for Benitez to arrange the lineup.

But now he has to make some changes to the lineup.

At the same time, there were more and more reports about the Champions League as the game approached, the day before the game. On the way to Spain with the whole Liverpool team, a number of Barcelona players were interviewed, and they seemed to be using interviews to 'welcome' Liverpool's arrival.

In interviews, many Barcelona players bluntly said that the team must win.

"I'm sure the victory will be ours." In an interview, Deco expressed his confidence in victory, and when asked by an English journalist why, Deco said. 'In the first leg, we had two goals. That game proved that Liverpool's defence couldn't stop us from scoring and now back at Camp Nou, I can't think of any reason why they can walk away with the win, I think, as long as we play normally. We were able to knock them out and get to the last four. ”

What Deco said still sounds like there is a little bit of truth to it

However, the English media expressed disdain for this, they don't think what Deco said makes sense, because Barcelona scored in the last leg, so now they are back at Camp Nou. Can Barcelona win against Liverpool?

What kind of reasoning is this!

But I have to admit that most people are still optimistic about Barcelona, "World Sports" analysis pointed out that compared with Liverpool, Barcelona has two advantages: one is that the game is played at the Camp Nou, in Barcelona's home stadium, Barcelona plays better as a matter of course; The second is that Barcelona are one goal behind, but they have two away goal advantages, and they only need one 1-0 to eliminate Liverpool.

This is only an external advantage, in fact, Barcelona's overall football is the biggest advantage, and now no team in the world dares to say that they can take away a win in Barcelona, or even a draw is a luxury.

This is the current Barcelona.

After the arrival of the whole Liverpool team, it also looked very low-key, no players took the initiative to be interviewed or anything, after arriving at the hotel where they stayed, everyone went back to their rooms to rest, there were many media reporters waiting at the door of the hotel, but they didn't see the Liverpool players come out until the next day.

They were all geared up and ready to warm up at the training ground.

This situation also knows that Liverpool is reluctant to be interviewed, which is understood by the Spanish media as 'lack of confidence', and they are even more unscrupulous to report 'Barcelona must win remarks', before the game is full of reports about Barcelona, but there are few reports about Liverpool, as if Barcelona is playing against a small team, this situation makes the English media very angry, they hope that Liverpool players will stand up and say a few words, but they can't interview Liverpool at all.

After the pre-match warm-up, press conference, fans entered the stadium, the two teams officially entered, and under the whistle of the referee, the game finally began.

At the opening of the pitch, the Camp Nou, with the voices of nearly 90,000 Barcelona fans, made the whole stadium a world of Barcelona, as if there was only Barcelona and no other team.

This is the world of Barcelona!

But five minutes later, the Camp Nou was much quieter.

Many Barcelona fans looked at the scoreboard in disbelief, where the score was 0:1, with the home team in front and the away team behind, and it took only five minutes for the score of both teams to be rewritten.

Liverpool opened the scoring and led Barcelona at the Camp Nou. (To be continued......)
