Both teams showed the momentum to beat their opponents to the death, which made these media reporters and fans excited, which is what they want to see.

Before the game, almost all the media in Europe were covering the match.

Arsenal's clash with Chelsea came before the second leg of another Champions League semi-final came to an end, with Real Madrid beating Bayern Munich 2-1 at their home stadium.

The aggregate score for both teams was 3-3 and the number of away goals was the same, and both teams went into extra-time, in which both teams failed to score and ended up on penalties.

In the penalty shootout, Bayern Munich's goalkeeper Manuel Neuer was like a goalkeeper, and even blocked the shots of Real Madrid players three times in a row, Bayern Munich defeated Real Madrid 3-1 in the penalty shootout, and finally successfully advanced to this season's UEFA Champions League final.

And the main thing is that this season's UEFA Champions League final will be played at the Allianz Arena, the home of Bayern Munich in Germany, which means that Bayern Munich will play the final Champions League final on their own home ground, which is a big advantage for Bayern Munich.

At this time, many people began to say that the winner of this season's UEFA Champions League has actually been decided, and that is Bayern Munich. At the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich have a high chance of winning the title, and it is difficult for either Chelsea or Arsenal to beat Bayern Munich.

At this time, Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger did not think about Bayern Munich at all, and now all his attention is on the Chelsea team.

On this day, the climate in London was still good, the only thing that was almost a little hot was that it was a little hot.

Yes, the sun was big today, some people, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of the Arsenal fans and Chelsea fans, and many people poured directly into the Emirates Stadium, the home of the Arsenal team.

Today, the Emirates Stadium is full and crowded.

Fans from both sides sat at their tables in the stands, waiting for the game to begin.

Of course, this is the home of Arsenal, and the Arsenal fans have created a sea of red and given the Chelsea a strong sense of oppression.

There were a lot of Chelsea fans coming to the Emirates Stadium today. However, the Chelsea team did not receive a lot of tickets, so there were many Chelsea fans who did not have tickets, and they could only watch the game from outside the stadium.

Today, the London police have dispatched a lot of police to maintain order, especially outside the Emirates Stadium, where many fans from both sides have gathered, and a large part of the London police force has been invested here.

The expressions of the policemen here are very strict, as if they are facing a great enemy, as if looking at these fans is as if they have seen a group of terrorists, vigilant and abnormal, and ready to pounce at any time to exterminate this group of chaotic parties.

At this time, there was another tension inside the Emirates Stadium, and the fans on both sides were shouting loudly, almost knocking the entire Emirates Stadium over.

The security personnel in the stadium are very nervous, a pair of eyes are very vigilant, patrolling back and forth in the stands, and there are also a team of security personnel armed to the teeth patrolling back and forth between the stadium and the stands, looking at the driving is much stricter than the martial law in some cities.

"Hello everyone, fans! This is Sky Sports, I'm Andy Gray, and we're going to give you a great game today. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

For such an important game, Sky Sports naturally wants to broadcast it live.

"Hello fans! I'm Andy Gray's sidekick Martin Taylor. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.

'Today we bring you Arsenal's home game against Chelsea in the second leg of this season's UEFA Champions League semi-finals. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.

'The first leg between the two sides was played at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's home stadium, and the score was 1-0 and Chelsea at home took the lead. But this score is not safe, now come to the home of the Arsenal team, it is clear that the Arsenal team is going to use all their strength to beat the Chelsea team, this game Arsenal team has the advantage of the home field. Sky Sports guest commentator Martin Taylor said.

'Of course Chelsea are not a team to mess with, they have already scored a goal at home and are 1-0 up to Arsenal. That way, Chelsea can play with their counter-attacks in peace, and it will be difficult for Arsenal to break down Chelsea's tortoise shell. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

"Okay, this time is not much time for the two sides to play, with the help of this time, let's introduce to you the starting lists of both sides today." Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said immediately.

'First of all, let me give you a brief overview of the starting line-up for the visiting Chelsea team today. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.

At this time, the Chelsea fans in front of the TV immediately got serious and listened carefully, wanting to see if the personnel sent by Nandi Matteo today were what they had in mind.

'The formation that Chelsea came out of today is a 4231 formation, you can see it, the Chelsea team is going to defend to the end.' Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor was immediate.

'The goalkeeper is Petero Cech and he is the main force that cannot be beaten. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.

'In the back four, it's Patrick Ferreira, David Luiz, John Terry and Ashley Cole. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor immediately said, "This backline has changed a lot from the last game, right-back Ferreira is in the starting line-up, and David Luiz is also in the starting line-up, which is a change, and Branislav Ivanovic is not in the list today, I don't know why?" ”

'In the back two positions it's Mikel and Meireles, and yes, Meireles was in the starting line-up today, which is different from the last game, when Chelsea had more people up front. Chelsea focused on defence today, so Merreles was in the starting line-up. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said immediately.

'In the front three it was Malouda, Frank Lampard and Juan Marta, and it was a bit of a surprise that Malouda was in the starting line-up today and Juan Marta was also in the starting line-up. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor was immediate.

'Juan Marta only moved to Chelsea at the beginning of the season, and when he was first introduced, Chelsea had great hopes, but after coming to the team, Juan Marta was not heavily used by Villas-Boas, and it is said that bringing in Juan Marta was not Boas's own idea. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.

"Juan Marta didn't get many chances when Villas-Boas was in the Chelsea team, and now there aren't many chances for Juan Marta under Di Matteo, but it's much better than when Villas-Boas was in the team, Juan Marta's overall appearance is still good, maybe that impressed Di Matteo, and today he was in the starting line-up." Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor was immediate.

'Up front, it was Didier Drogba who was in the starting line-up today, so there was no suspense about it, and he is now Chelsea's top scorer. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor said.

And Fernando Torres, who Chelsea people spent a lot of money to bring in, has not had any appearance since he came to the Chelsea team, and has even been labeled as a big parallel product, and now there are many people who directly ridicule Fernando Torres as Chelsea's greatest right-back. Fernando Torres is hard to get a chance at Chelsea and today he was on the bench waiting for his chance. Sky Sports guest commentator Martin Taylor said.

'Joining Fernando Torres on the bench is Nicolas Anelka, who is said to be leaving Chelsea at the end of the season and joining a Chinese club, as if the team is from Shanghai or Shandong. Sky Sports commentator Martin Taylor was immediate.

'Okay, that's the starting line-up for the visiting Chelsea team today. Obviously, Chelsea's main objective today was to defend on the counter-attack, with a lot of people involved in defending and a lot of pace on the counter-attack, neither Malouda nor Juan Marta. Sky Sports commentator Andy Gray said.

Seeing such a starting list, Arsenal fans and Chelsea fans were a little surprised, they didn't expect Di Matteo to make so many changes today, it seems that Di Matteo has really put in some effort, and he is also very bold.

Chelsea fans have a lot of confidence in Roberto Di Matteo and Chelsea, and they are confident that Chelsea can win this game and win a game to qualify for this season's Champions League final.
