Chapter 116: Quarterfinals

The Champions League quarter-finals have been released, with only one team left from the English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur, Serie A side Juventus and Portuguese Premier League side Porto.

The Bundesliga is even worse, there were as many as four teams in the round of 16, and all of them were eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Borussia Dortmund lost to Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen drew with Atletico Madrid and lost on penalties, Schalke 04 lost to Real Madrid and Bayern were unfortunately eliminated by Barcelona.

Due to the three sets of dialogues, the previously hyped battle between the Bundesliga and La Liga also came to an end, ending with a win in the top three of La Liga.

Two Ligue 1 teams, Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco, as well as La Liga finalists Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, all qualified.

The Champions League quarter-finals were also set, with Tottenham Hotspur, who knocked out Shakhtar Donetsk, drawn to Porto in the quarter-finals.

And their semi-final opponents will be the winner between Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona.

The pair met again in the quarter-finals.

In the other half, Real Madrid met local rivals Atletico Madrid, while the Bianconeri Juventus drew Monaco.

"Porto?"

Benjamin didn't have any special feelings, they all reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and none of the remaining teams were easy to deal with.

Of course, the draw to Porto is definitely a little better than Real Madrid and Barcelona.

But if the ultimate goal is to win the championship, then sooner or later you will have to face them.

It's hard to pass the pass, let's take a step at a time.

On March 21, the defending champions, who had lost to Manchester United for the first time in the league of the season, hosted Stoke City.

Benjamin's side rotated slightly, but Kane, who was strongly requested to play, was given a chance to start.

Tottenham Hotspur's leading goalscorer Harry Kane, who was briefly on loan at Leicester City, smiled and greeted the Leicester City player before the game.

Jamie Vardy, who once sat on the Leicester bench with Harry Kane, has now become a regular for the Foxes.

Smile before the game, but don't talk about it at all after the game starts.

Thirteen minutes into the game, Harry Kane had scored two goals in a row with an overhead kick to give Tottenham a 2-0 lead.

First, there was a corner kick opportunity, and in the confusion, Demichelis' volley was blocked by Leicester goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel.

Harry Kane in front of the six-yard box slotted home from close range.

Soon after, Kyle Walker's cross from the right was blocked by Fox centre-back Hut, and Eriksen grabbed the second point and crossed the ball high into the box again.

Kane got rid of the close marking of the defender and diveled into the net!

Schmeichel Jr. is a little skeptical.

The 28-year-old Danish goalkeeper has firmly occupied the position of the Foxes' main goalkeeper since joining Leicester City in 11 years.

But compared to the other fathers, the legendary Danish goalkeeper Schmeichel, Schmeichel Jr. is a little far behind.

The 2-0 lead didn't last long before the visitors equalised with back-to-back goals from Jamie Vardy and Morgan.

"One more goal is a hat-trick, you can do it!"

After spraying the other players in the dressing room at half-time, Benjamin privately encouraged Kane.

He believes that with Kane's form today, it will be absolutely fine to score another goal or two in the second half.

Kane didn't disappoint him either, in the 65th minute, Mane knocked back to the middle, and Kane followed up with a powerful volley that went straight to the dead corner!

Three to two!

The home team took the lead again!

It was Kane's third hat-trick of the season and second in the league!

In the 85th minute, substitute Milinkovic crossed diagonally, and Eriksen's stabbing shot in the box was blocked by Schmeichel Jr.

But then the ball hit the returning Schlupp and bounced into the empty net!

Four to two!

The Leicester full-back scored a "wonderful" own goal.

After that, the visitors lost their desire to continue attacking, and Tottenham Hotspur eventually beat the Foxes 4-2 at home to take all three points.

'After the defeat to Old Trafford, it was a very important three points.

We are a young team and we need to improve.

Today's performance was satisfactory and Kane's excellent performance helped the team secure a victory.

Defensively, we still need to improve. ”

Next, the reporters unsurprisingly focused on Kane, who scored a hat-trick today.

"Thirty balls? All of us are happy for Kane.

His efforts have been duly rewarded! ”

On the contrary, Kane himself, who has crushed a number of opponents in the league scorer list and basically ensured that England will win the first league golden boot of his career after the end of the season, looks humble.

'It's a fantastic feeling to score goals and I'm enjoying scoring for Tottenham.

But it's not just me, and of course thanks to the manager, every goal is a goal that comes with the help and support of all my team-mates.

I'm really happy, but the season isn't over yet and I hope I can keep scoring in the next games! ”

In April, in the 31st round of the Premier League, Tottenham beat Burnley away with a goal from Sadio Mane.

On April 11, at Wembley Stadium, the Lilies defeated the visiting Aston Villa 1-0.

After that defeat against the Red Devils, Benjamin's side had a three-game winning streak in the Premier League, and I don't know if it was bottoming out.

With six league games remaining, Tottenham are 14 points ahead of Chelsea, a gap that is enough to make Mourinho desperate.

Especially after five goals from Tottenham, the Madman's Blues are missing the flashy attack they had at the start of the season.

Chelsea felt a little stimulated, their tactics started to become more conservative and the players played more and more stiffly.

After taking the lead, Jose Mourinho's side were desperate to hold on to their advantage and win.

With this in mind, Benjamin's success in defending his title was a few points more certain.

However, in addition to the Premier League, they also have Champions League games to play.

After the match against Villa, Benjamin and his coaching staff turned their attention to their upcoming opponents, Portuguese giants Porto.

When it comes to Porto, there is one person you can't get away with, and that is the aforementioned Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho.

Even if there is any bribery scandal, there is a saying that the champion is determined.

But in the summer of 2004, the man who led the team to the top of Europe, many people still remember how spirited Jose Mourinho was when he won the Champions League and the Portuguese Super League double.

Coupled with the previous season's minor treble, the Champions League, Europa League, Portuguese Super League and Portuguese Super Cup, the madman has entered the ranks of world-class managers with amazing results.

Benjamin can only sigh that football is a circle, not long after he played Mourinho, he is going to play against his old club again.

Speaking of Porto, they are constantly facing competition from Benfica and Stadio de Portugal in Portugal.

Due to the limited conditions, the top three of the Portuguese Super League habitually sell the stars who play in their team at a high price, so they are also nicknamed "black shops" by fans.

Thanks to their unique vision, Porto has remained extremely competitive over the years, even though they have been selling people.

On April 15, 2015, in the quarterfinals of the 14-15 UEFA Champions League, Tottenham's away match against Porto will be contested at the Dragon Stadium!
