2-0 away, 3-2 at home, Parma defeated strong rival Liverpool with two beautiful victories and reached the Champions League semi-finals with their heads held high.

Liverpool's defeat made the players sigh. They played at a very high level, and they did play at a high level on the road, scoring two away goals to equalise Parma's away goal tally, but the backline, which did not concede any open goals in their last game, was run through three times in this one.

It was a bit of a pity, but it was respectable enough, at least, that's what Li Bin said after the game.

'Liverpool played at a level and they are opponents who deserve our respect. It's the strongest opponent Parma have faced so far this year, and with their game, it's been a huge benefit for us. ”

After the game, Li Bin gave some praise to Liverpool, but Benitez was somewhat unconvinced of Parma's victory in an interview.

"We can do better. Liverpool didn't play at the highest level and we could have played better......"

Benitez could say that, but the media didn't think so, and even after the game, they discussed the strengths and weaknesses of the two teams in detail.

And a detail has also been noticed by everyone. In the second game, Parma's three goals came from the fierce attack on Liverpool's right wing, Arbeloa's right-back was beaten into a colander, and Liverpool's defensive problems were well exploited by them, without giving the opponent any chance, they directly pressed Parma to death and scored three goals.

This also made the media talk after the game: to say that Parma found a way to break down Liverpool's backline in one game, the media would not believe it. They all saw it very clearly, Parma was afraid that before the first game, they already knew about this problem, but because the opportunity was not easy to grasp in the away game, they simply held back, did not use it too much, but relied on set-pieces and opponents to grind, until the second game, this loophole was taken out and used, which played a miraculous effect and defeated the opponent in one fell swoop.

Their victory was based on two rounds of detailed preparation, and it was not something that Liverpool could easily get back to win. And, after seeing Parma's players play, the media didn't think Liverpool had any chances.

Arshavin caused quite a stir with a hat-trick in the game. In the Champions League in recent seasons, Liverpool have never been so insulted, they have not lost more than two games in a row, and they have not encountered such a thing as being scored three goals in one go.

Liverpool players, who have not faced this situation for a long time, are recognized as a tough team in the whole world, and they have been kicked like this, which has caused a sensation all over Europe.

At this time, people also thought of Arshavin's outstanding performance against Chelsea, which also made everyone exclaim, Arshavin is now a rising superstar. Even last year's Kaka was considered a god-level player, but he did not score a hat-trick against strong opponents, and this year's Ronaldo played extremely well in the Premier League, but when it comes to playing against strong opponents, he did not play so well. Arshavin's performances against Chelsea and Liverpool were enough to put them to shame.

He has been one of the best players in Europe this season, and after such a performance, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the new European star.

Of course, Arshavin is indeed not as famous as those two people, compared to Ronaldo and Kaka, who does not play in giants, he naturally does not have such a loud reputation as them. However, even so, Parma's run to the last four of the Champions League for the second year in a row and a good chance of reaching the final of the Champions League this year is enough to make Arshavin famous.

Even Riquelme, who is known as a master in La Liga, has the highest result of only playing a Champions League semi-final with Villarreal, a non-giant, and a second place in the league. And Parma has won the league championship in recent years, and now they have also reached the Champions League final, which is now making him more and more famous.

Even people are thinking about whether it is possible for him to win the Ballon d'Or.

And the biggest problem with him winning the Golden Ball Award is two. The first is that this year is the year of the European Cup, and the performance of the European Cup is a very important reference item. Arshavin is the captain of the Russian national team, and the strength of the Russian national team is worse than the Ukrainian national team, and the possibility of them playing well in the European Championship is too small - even the Soviet team, the predecessor of Russia, was hacked when it had the strength to win the championship, and now Russia is not a very popular country in Europe, even if they are hacked for political reasons, people will not be surprised.

And Arshavin, as the captain of Russia, is really at a loss in the national team. His only remaining hope, that is, the head coach of his national team, is Hiddink, as a miracle coach, Hiddink is still expected by many people, which is also the only hope left for Arshavin.

However, this problem does not seem to be a particularly big problem: in the European Cup, Ronaldo's Portugal is also not a particularly good player. If you really talk about the European Cup, maybe it will be a two-person comparison.

And there is another bigger problem: Arshavin's club teammates are a little too strong.

Arshavin scored three goals, but those three goals, the first of which was a brilliant back-heel assist from Milito, was created after he single-handedly pulled the two centre-backs. And the second goal, is Yaya Toure in the front of the penalty area, in the face of the opponent's strict defense of the goal, both of them are extremely good players, and Parma's other players, the strength must not be bad, three goals, all started by Motta, and in this season, Zabaleta and Grosso on the two sides of the road also continue to provide help to the front, even if the performance is less De Jong and others, they are also playing well, these players, the strength is too strong, their performance, It will also cause a big problem for Arshavin to select the Golden Globe.

In the past, it was not without precedent for a small team player to win the Ballon d'Or, but in those days, there was only one top player in a small team, although the strength of other players was not weak, but in the final analysis, it was still a top player who played with a group of people. However, now Parma, it seems, is a group of top players playing, which also makes people sigh: Parma has too many good players!

Therefore, Arshavin is not the only core and leader of this team, which will also affect his selection.

However, in the end, whether he can have such a status in the last place depends on his own performance in the remaining Champions League. Now the Champions League is getting more and more attention, and if Parma can really win the Champions League, then Arshavin will be even more valued.

Although it is said that they have reached the semi-finals, Parma is not necessarily able to reach the final. And even if you can reach the Champions League final, the result of the final is still a big question.

When Parma defeated Liverpool, several other teams also decided the winner. Manchester United and Chelsea have all successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League, but these two players will also have a desperate battle in the semi-finals.

In the other game, Roma were beaten by Lyon.

Although Rome's strength is certainly not weaker than Lyon, it may even be stronger. However, Roma need to play on two fronts, while Lyon are going all out to play in the Champions League. They don't have much pressure in the league, and after so many years of consecutive championships, they haven't had too good results in the Champions League, which makes them almost go all out this season after seeing the hope of the top four in the Champions League. In the match between the two sides, Lyon won 1-0 at home and lost 1-2 away, although they won one and lost one, they still relied on the advantage of scoring more away goals to get the victory.

This news can be said to be a piece of news that makes Li Bin quite happy: the Roma team will occasionally explode and meet them, although it is not difficult for their team to win, it may be difficult to prepare for the final. Although Lyon is the Ligue 1 champion, Juninho is dying, Benzema is too young to hold up the overall situation, and the rest of them have sold people for a few years, and there is no one left, these players are not to worry, they still have enough possibilities to win them, and at the same time, they are also ready for everything to prepare for the final in advance.

After the match between the two sides, Lyon also expressed his hope to beat Parma and reach the Champions League final in an interview. For Lyon, who has won consecutive championships for many seasons, how can they not dream of the Champions League final after winning the Champions League semi-finals?

Although they know the strength of Parma and think that Parma is a difficult opponent, they also think that they still have the strength to fight. They have young players like Benzema and Ben Arfa, and veterans like Juninho leading the team, so why can't they dream about it? Speaking of which, over the years, they have been rampant in Ligue 1, almost invincible, that is, when they face some of the top giants in Europe, they will feel embarrassed, although Parma is very strong, but they are not the top giants, and they don't think that they must have no hope.

To their delight in particular, Parma seemed to have been affected by their win against Liverpool, who lost one game against Fiorentina and didn't look like they had just won.

This also made Lyon a little happy: perhaps Parma are now working hard after the win over Liverpool. Maybe they have exhausted all their strength, and after playing Liverpool, they have already exhausted their momentum and come to the end - which makes Lyon even more confident and thinking about winning this game.

But their idea was soon shattered on the Gerland Stadium.

"Parma has taken all the advantages, this game, it is not at all like it was played away, from the beginning of the game, Lyon was powerless to resist at all, this game, the victory must belong to Parma!"
