Chapter 264: I've done my best

When Ramos pushed the ball into Sun Pan's goal, the air in the stadium at Stamford Bridge froze almost instantly.

The game is also broadcast live in China, but instead of being broadcast live on a free sports channel, it is placed on the paid Fengyun Football channel.

But even so, there are quite a few people watching, especially in overtime. Those Chinese fans who watched the match between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain heard that the match between Chelsea and Real Madrid went to extra time, and they flocked to it.

Commentator Shen Fangyuan said in a somewhat heavy tone: "...... Sun Pan performed very well in this game, did not concede a goal in 90 minutes of regular time, and in the face of Real Madrid's terrifying attacking group, he tried to keep the goal intact. But in the final moments, his goal was breached. The goal conceded made the situation very difficult for Chelsea, and it also made Sun Pan's hopes of qualifying for the last four of the Champions League very slim......

The game wasn't over and the game resumed after conceding the goal, with Chelsea launching a fierce attack on Real Madrid's goal, hoping to score twice with ten minutes remaining.

Chelsea are like a swarm of bees that have been dug out of their nests, pouring out of their nests and pressing all over the line.

This also caused a huge gap behind their backline, and Real Madrid naturally started a Chelsea counter-attack.

It's really embarrassing to say, this Real Madrid team is good at counter-attacking characteristics, or it was cultivated when Mourinho was coaching...... Now it is being used by Real Madrid against Jose Mourinho's Chelsea.

When Real Madrid hit the counter-attack, there were only a handful of Chelsea players who could come back, with only four defenders still coming back.

It was Sun Pan who performed well, stopping Real Madrid's counterattacks again and again, ensuring that the difference was always on one goal, giving Chelsea fans a little hope.

"Sun Pan blocked Benzema's shot with his foot!It was so dangerous! Chelsea were in danger in front of goal...... The only thing to be thankful for is that even after the blow of conceding the goal, Sun Pan quickly recovered from his frustration, and his performance was no different from before the conceded goal......

"Sun Pan! Oh my God! He jumped so high that he took Modric's lob out of the air! It was incredible! Except for the goal he lost, Sun Pan's performance was impeccable...... No, he can't be blamed for the goal, he was impeccable......!

It's a pity that Chelsea's forward line still failed him.

Until full-time, Chelsea were unable to find the back of the net for Real Madrid.

The final score was 1:2, Real Madrid lost away, but the aggregate score was 3:2, and Real Madrid won.

"Ah...... The game is over, the game is over...... Chelsea beat Real Madrid 2-1 at home, but they lost 3-2 on aggregate and missed out on qualifying for the last four. It was also the first time in Jose Mourinho's managerial career that he failed to lead his side to the last four of the Champions League – he had previously led his side to the quarter-finals of European competitions eight times, one in the Europa League and the other seven in the Champions League...... The first was in charge of Porto in 2003-2004, where he made it all the way to the final and won the Champions League. The second was in the 2004-2005 season, his first year in charge of Chelsea, where he eliminated Bayern Munich 6-5 on aggregate in the quarter-finals, but ultimately fell to the semi-finals. The third time was in the 2006-2007 season, when they defeated Valugiania 3-2 on aggregate in the quarter-finals, and lost to Liverpool in the semi-finals of the Premier League, missing out on the final......"

The commentator began to count Mourinho's record in the European quarter-finals, and a close-up of Mourinho appeared on the TV screen, in which Mourinho pursed his lips and his face was not good-looking, but he still maintained his demeanor and Real Madrid's manager, and his successor Carlo Ancelotti shook hands.

Carlo Ancelotti seemed to comfort him, but Mourinho didn't change his face because of his comfort.

Sun Pan also appeared in the close-up.

When the whistle blew, he sat down in front of his door, looking rather frustrated and disappointed.

Captain Terry came up and patted him on the head.

"You're the only one of us who doesn't have to blame yourself, want to open a little, Sun Pan. You've done a great job......"

"Captain, I'm just sad about our failure......"

"I know I know we can come back next season. Terry reached out to Sun Pan, pulled him up, then patted him on the back and went back to comfort the rest of his lost teammates.

When the referee blew the whistle at the end of the game, Zhou Yi turned off the live webcast on his mobile phone.

He didn't want to see Sun Pan look like that after the game, it was too much to destroy his image in his heart.

As a result, only he and Yan Min are left in the entire Champions League.

Again, they are the only team. But what's better than before is that this time he is not alone, because there is one more Yan Min by his side.

It seems that the Chinese derby will have to wait a little longer for the final to be staged as well......

It was a happy and sad night for Chinese fans.

Happily, Zhou Yi and Yan Min reached the semifinals of the Champions League, and sad that Sun Pan and He Ying bid farewell to the Champions League stage one after another.

But optimistically, there are as many as four Chinese players in the quarter-finals of this year's Champions League, compared to several or two last season.

It's already twice as good as last season.

※※※

The next night, the other two Champions League quarter-finals went ahead as scheduled.

Bayern Munich host David Moyes' Manchester United.

Simeone leads Atletico Madrid to a home game against Barcelona.

According to the rules, the winner between Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain will meet the winner between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the semi-finals, so Borussia Dortmund will naturally pay more attention to Atletico Madrid's home game against Barcelona.

However, with Borussia Dortmund now battling Bayern Munich for the league title, they will certainly be keeping an eye on Bayern Munich's home game against Manchester United.

Although the two teams are direct rivals in the league, Dortmund will have to cheer for Bayern Munich this time.

They certainly don't have the excuse of "bringing glory to German football", they just hope that Bayern Munich can hold on to the last four of the Champions League, which will definitely lead to distraction in the league. When the league and the Champions League are fought on both fronts, if Dortmund continues to press Bayern Munich in the league, the league championship situation will be reversed.

To that end, they hope Bayern Munich can knock out Manchester United and reach the last four of the Champions League.

Their opponents in the semi-finals will be Real Madrid, which is a "European derby". Bayern Munich can't afford to beat Real Madrid lightly, and they will have to pay a big price to eliminate Real Madrid.

At that time, it will be a typical "cranes and mussels compete, and fishermen will profit".

Bayern Munich's game got off to a bad start, with it not being them who scored first, but the visitors Manchester United. In the 57th minute, Patrice Evra latched on to Valencia's pass and set up a goal for United, which was offset by away goals from both teams.

However, United didn't have to be happy for long, and just two minutes after the goal, Lewandowski picked up Ribery's cross to help Bayern Munich equalise and make it 2-2 on aggregate.

Ten minutes later, in the 68th minute, Thomas Muller received a pass from Robben and scored another goal, and the aggregate score became 3:2, and Bayern Munich took the lead.

In the 76th minute, Robben showed his signature attacking style, cutting inside after dribbling on the right flank, dribbling laterally and then shooting with his left foot, and the ball flew into the goal of De Gea, Bayern Munich led Manchester United 3-1, 4-2 on aggregate.

Although Manchester United then made substitution adjustments and counterattacked, they failed to break through Bayern Munich's goal again.

In the end, Bayern Munich eliminated Manchester United with this score and broke into the last four of the Champions League. Their opponents will be Real Madrid.

On the other side, the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona was only five minutes into the game, and Atletico Madrid broke the deadlock for the team by Koke.

On aggregate, Atletico Madrid also led Barcelona 2:1.

Subsequently, Atletico Madrid continued their three-board attack, using the front court to steal Barcelona's ball, and launched a high-altitude attack directly after grabbing it.

Under such a fierce attack, Barcelona's defense is like "gesturing and playing pantomime".

In the space of 20 minutes, Atletico Madrid had three shots on goal that focused on the woodwork. In the nearly 10-year history of the Champions League, no team has framed more than Atletico Madrid in a single game.

In the first half alone, Atletico Madrid had eight shots, one in the woodwork and three in the woodwork. Although they only had 30 per cent possession, Atletico Madrid was more imposing on the pitch. And the first twenty minutes of Barcelona's defense was a disaster, I have never seen such a poor defense.

After three boards, Atletico Madrid showed their tenacious defensive ability.

At the same time, Barcelona's side was completely out of shape, completely stunned by Atletico Madrid's three-board axe after the opening, and did not recover from the whole game.

The score changed after the opening five minutes and remained unchanged until the end of the game.

In the end, Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona 1-0 at their home stadium and advanced 2-1 on aggregate.

With that, all four semi-finalists are out and the matchup is out – Borussia Dortmund will face Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals, home and away, with a slight drop in fixtures.

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, are the first away and then the host, and their opponents are Real Madrid.

This is a matchup between the Bundesliga and La Liga.
