On March 6, in the 29th round of Ligue 1, Lyon hosted Guingamp.

Three days ago, Zhang Chaoqiang had just celebrated his 21st birthday in the company of Anne.

So it was his first race after turning 21.

In the end, Zhang Chaoqiang and Lacazette both scored twice, and Lyon easily beat Guingamp 4:1 at home and won all three points.

However, on the other side, Paris did not drop points either, winning 1-0 at home.

As a result, the two teams still maintain a one-point difference.

However, Ibrahimovic has not scored in the last two rounds of Ligue 1, while Zhang Chaoqiang has scored three goals in the last two rounds.

Therefore, on the French top scorer list, Zhang Chaoqiang's goals have reached 28 goals, and Ibrahimovic has only 23 goals for the time being.

The goal gap between the two has been widened to five.

After the 29th round of Ligue 1, the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 began.

Let's start with four sets of competitions.

Real Madrid defeated Roma 2-0 at home and advanced with an aggregate score of 4-0.

Cristiano Ronaldo scored another goal in the game, and the number of goals in the Champions League this season has reached 13, and he is almost locked in the Champions League Golden Boot.

Grand Paris defeated Benfica 2-1 at home and advanced with an aggregate score of 4-2.

This is the fourth consecutive season that Paris has successfully qualified for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and it is indeed passable.

At least compared with Manchester City, which is also a local tycoon, the Champions League results are better.

Manchester City became a local tyrant earlier, but the Champions League results are not as good as Paris.

Ibrahimovic also scored in both legs, completing his first career record of scoring in two consecutive Champions League knockout games.

VfL Wolfsburg defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 1-0 at home and advanced with an aggregate score of 4-2.

After selling the core player De Bruyne, he can still reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and Wolfsburg can be regarded as a bit of a dark horse.

Manchester City drew 0-0 at home to Dynamo Kyiv and advanced with an aggregate score of 3:1.

This is the first time in Manchester City's history that they have advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

After falling twice in the group stage and twice in the round of 16, Blue Moon finally set a team record.

And the English media know that the Champions League results of Premier League teams this season can basically only look at Manchester City.

Manchester United have already exited the group stage of the Premier League four, and Chelsea and Arsenal are at a huge disadvantage in the first leg, with the former losing 3-1 away to Lyon and the latter losing 0-2 at home to Barcelona.

Overall, Manchester City are likely to be the only Premier League team in the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League.

Of course, the English media has not given up on the London duo and is still trying to find a comeback for them.

Chelsea, in particular, are considered by the English media to have a good chance of turning the tables around.

Because the opponent is just Lyon.

At the end of the four groups of matches in midweek, Real Madrid, Grand Paris, Wolfsburg and Manchester City took the lead in advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Just wait for the other four groups to finish, and everyone will draw lots for the quarterfinals together.

On March 12, in the 30th round of Ligue 1, Lyon challenged Rennes away.

With a trip to Chelsea in midweek, Fournier has a proper rotation in place for this game.

Valbuena and Yale, two veterans, as well as Tolisso, who had a thigh discomfort after the last round of the league, rested together.

Unexpectedly, such an arrangement made Leon lose points again.

The away team took an early lead by one goal, but were unable to extend the score.

In the 83rd minute, Rennes' 97-year-old Ousmane Dembele provided an assist after a quick break down the flank, and Lyon suffered an away draw.

When he faced Lyon in the first leg of this season, the guy hadn't even made his debut.

But since his debut in November, Dembele has quickly become famous, and like Zhang Chaoqiang, he is known for his speed.

In terms of attributes, Dembele's speed has reached 84 points, and the explosion has reached 90 points, and Zhang Chaoqiang stole a little explosive attribute before the game.

It's just that the other attributes are not so high, and the technique under the feet is also a little rough.

However, in the last round of Ligue 1, Dembele managed to score a hat-trick against Nantes.

At the age of nineteen, he wore a hat in Ligue 1, a bit like Zhang Chaoqiang last season.

It is said that the hat-trick has managed to attract the attention of many teams, and even Lyon seems to be interested in him.

According to the Lyon media, this is to prepare for Zhang Chaoqiang's departure in advance.

If Zhang Chaoqiang leaves the team in the summer, it is just right for Dembele to take over.

Unexpectedly, in this game, Dembele immediately sent off the horse with a perfect assist.

Fournier specifically arranged restrictions for him, but limited the whole game, and he seized the opportunity at the slightest slack in the last moments.

Regardless, Lyon did lose two points to a 1-1 draw away at Rennes.

On the other hand, Paris beat Matroy 9-0 away, and Ibrahimovic also won the big four.

This is the second big four in Ligue 1 this season since Zhang Chaoqiang.

In the standings, Grand Paris now has 76 points and Lyon has 73 points.

The two teams are back to the three-point gap.

The key is that Lyon and Grand Paris have no chance to play each other directly.

Lyon wants to compete for the title, but can only wait for Paris to make mistakes and lose points.

In addition, on the scorer list, Zhang Chaoqiang did not score in this round, and Ibrahimovic took the opportunity to recover four goals.

At present, Zhang Chaoqiang has 28 goals and Ibrahimovic has 27 goals.

The battle for the Golden Boot has also become fierce.

The Lyon team didn't have much to worry about dropping points away from home, as the team had to organise a trip to London quickly.

The English media have been hyping Chelsea's comeback in the last two weeks, even as far away as the entire Lyon squad in France.

Based on historical Champions League data, Chelsea are indeed on the verge of being out.

But in the English media, Chelsea still have plenty of chances, as if the score of the first leg was only 1:2, not 1:3.

However, Chelsea do have some chance of a comeback.

Since the Champions League was played over two legs and away goals were introduced, only four teams have managed to come back from 3-1 in the first leg.

In the quarterfinals of the Champions League in the 99/00 season, Barcelona lost 1:3 to Chelsea in the first leg, drew 3:1 in the 90 minutes at home in the second leg, and scored two goals in extra time to finally reverse.

That series was the origin of the feud between Barcelona and Chelsea, as Chelsea were sent off twice in quick time and both of Barca's goals were penalties.

So Chelsea were very unconvinced, believing that the referee was dominating the game.

Later, with the madman Jose Mourinho in charge of the Blues, the two teams met in the Champions League in a row, and the feud became deeper and deeper.

In the round of 16 of the Champions League in the 11/12 season, Chelsea lost 1:3 to Napoli in Serie A in the first leg, but drew 3:1 in the 90 minutes at home in the second leg, and scored another goal in extra time to successfully reverse.

In the quarterfinals of the Champions League in the 13/14 season, Chelsea lost 1:3 away to Paris in the first leg, won 2:0 at home in the second leg, and completed the comeback with the advantage of away goals.

In the quarterfinals of the Champions League in the 14/15 season, Bayern lost to Porto 1:3 away in the first leg, and 6:1 at home in the second leg.

In total, there have been four comebacks of the same type in Champions League history, with Chelsea involved in three.

Flipped once, flipped twice.

One of the two key comebacks happened to be a Ligue 1 team.

So this time it was a 1:3 away loss to the French team, and the English media hyped it wildly, as if the comeback was fate.
