Chapter 282: Mortal Enemy? Overtake?
It's a pity that Jose has already risen from the ground.
Franck Franck Franck's shot was easily confiscated by Jose.
Bayern missed the chance to score again.
Fast forward 30 minutes into the second half and Chelsea didn't have a single dangerous shot on target.
Manuel Neuer frequently attacked in midfield.
In the 75th minute, Chelsea finally had the chance to open the scoring.
Chelsea broke the ball at the back and the ball found its way to Pedro.
Pedro counter-attacked with the ball at the back, made a long run to the outside of the arc island, and crossed diagonally to the right side of the penalty area, where Diego Costa was in response.
Diego Costa wins the ball and gets past Alaba on the right side of the box.
Neuer made a block.
Diego Costa calmly opted for the outside of his right foot to flick into the far corner and the ball went past Neuer, but it hit the inside of the far post and was eventually bounced back.
Pedro missed the rebound.
There was still a chance, though, as Cesc Fabregas, who was following behind, picked up the ball on the edge of the box.
Xiaofa made up for the first time.
Unfortunately, Neuer was back in front of goal and he easily confiscated Youngfa's shot.
Chelsea missed the chance to extend their gains.
In the 77th minute, Benatia came off the bench to replace Bernate, who was mediocre.
Pedro's counter-attack just now came from Bernate's passing error.
At this point, Bayern have used up three substitutions.
On the other hand, on Chelsea's side, Mourinho still stood still.
There was no way, just a one-goal lead, the bench was full of young players, and Mourinho really didn't dare to risk letting them play.
In the 82nd minute, Nemanja Matic had another chance to counter-attack.
In front of the right side of the Bayern penalty area, Nemanja Matic was ready to break through, but was tackled by Benatia, who had just come on the pitch.
Benatia was booked.
However, Nemanja did not get up, saying that Benatia's action just now hurt him.
Seeing that Matic was slow to get up, Neuer was in a hurry, and stepped forward directly to pull Matic up.
Well, it's just a dead act.
The referee decisively showed Neuer a yellow card.
In the 85th minute, Mourinho finally started to make substitutions.
Kenedy came off the bench to replace Eden Hazard, the scorer.
Chelsea fans gave Hazard a round of applause.
In the final stage, Bayern pressed all over the line, and the number of shots on goal began to skyrocket.
But it was all defused by the defense line led by Jose.
Just before the break, Ribery crossed from the left.
Benatia headed the ball from 10 yards out.
Although the trajectory of the ball was surprising, it still did not threaten Jose.
Jose bent over and easily confiscated the shot.
Muller then headed back to the spot.
Vidal pushes from the edge of the box.
Jose made a side pounce and won it again steadily.
Thanks to the efforts of Jose and the Chelsea players, they maintained the lead until the end.
Post-match wrap-up.
Bayern had 70% possession and had 20 shots on goal and seven inside the goal.
However, Jose blocked all of Bayern's shots.
For Chelsea, Eden Hazard's early goal gave the Blues peace of mind on the counter-attack, with only 30 per cent possession and five shots on target, no less chance than Bayern.
The score was acceptable for both sides.
After all, back at the Allianz Arena, Bayern still has a good chance of eliminating Chelsea by relying on home advantage.
Not allowing Bayern to score away from home, Mourinho was also very satisfied.
Although the second leg was a visit to the Allianz Stadium, Mourinho set up a bus, and even the Camp Nou, which was in full swing, would be helpless.
Whether Bayern will rely on home advantage to reverse the promotion, or Mourinho's bus will stop the progress of the Southern King, only after the second leg will be known.
Champions League games are important, but Premier League games are also at a critical juncture.
This weekend, the 36th round of the Premier League continues.
Leicester City kicks off the day before Chelsea.
Manchester United host Leicester City.
United scored just eight minutes into the first half through Anthony Martial, but Morgan equalised for Leicester eight minutes later after a pass from Drinkwater.
Drinkwater was sent off in the second half for accumulating two yellows, Leicester's third red card of the season.
In the end, Leicester City drew 1-1 with Manchester United, one point more than Chelsea, who have played a game in hand, and are in first place.
Leicester's draw with Manchester United is Chelsea's best chance to overtake the Foxes, so Chelsea are looking forward to this round of fixtures.
Considering the rivalry between Chelsea and Tottenham, the game will never be too dull.
At 03:00 China time on May 3 (20:00 local time in the UK on the 2nd), the match between Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur was contested at Stamford Bridge.
John Terry returned to the starting line-up and partnered Gary Cahill in central defence, with John Stones and Eden Hazard returning to the bench.
In the centre circle, Chelsea kicked off first.
Just 10 seconds into the game, Chelsea fans chanted in unison: 'We hate Tottenham. ”
Fans abroad will think that Chelsea and Arsenal are equal rivals in the competition for London, but in the hearts of local fans, Tottenham Hotspur is their real rival.
As long as it's against Tottenham, Chelsea fans and Arsenal fans can sit together and have a good time.
Willian kicked off and played a straight pass back to Cahill.

This is where Chelsea's attacking organisation opens.

Unfortunately, the top was a little off, and the ball went out of the bottom line on the left side of the goal.
Chelsea's first wave of attack was declared fruitless.
Lloris takes a goal kick.
The midfield scramble was fierce.
Statistically, Tottenham are the team with the most fouls, but they haven't had a single red card this season.
In the 10th minute, Tottenham had their first shot on goal.
Danny Rose suddenly fired a powerful shot from 25 yards out on the left side of the penalty area.
Jose swoops in to make a save.
But because the opponent's shot went high, Jose saved.

It's still Chelsea's possession.
Pedro crosses diagonally into the box.
Danny Rose blocked from 12 yards and slipped himself.
Fortunately, Lowry struck ahead of Xiaofa and confiscated the ball at the first time.
In the opening stages, the two sides exchanged attack and defence, but a series of fouls by Tottenham players made the Chelsea players a little uncomfortable.
In the 26th minute, Jose made a big pass to Pedro on the left.
Pedro won the ball and pushed forward quickly down the flank, only to be knocked to the ground head-on by Kyle Walker in midfield.
Referee Clattenburg said nothing.
Cesar Azpilicueta wins the ball and continues to push forward.
Outside the left side of the Tottenham penalty area, Diego Costa raised his hand to ask Cesar Azpilicueta for the ball.
Cesar Azpilicueta shook off Dier's interception and played the ball to Costa.
Costa wins the ball and moves to the right.
Cesc Fabregas wins the ball, shakes off the opposition defender and bursts into the right side of the box.
From 15 yards, Xiaofa took a low shot from his feet.
The ball passed under Danny Rose's crotch and flew towards the left side of the goal.
Lloris made a flying save, unable to touch the ball.
It's a pity that Xiaofa's shot angle was a little bit worse, and the ball went out of the bottom line from the left side of the goal.
Jose Mourinho complained to the fourth referee about a deliberate foul by Kyle Walker, but to no avail.
In the first half hour, both sides had a lot of shots on goal, but none of them hit the back of the net.

The ball reached the feet of Diego Costa.

It was the first shot on target of the game.
Smallfa takes a corner kick and Cahill deflects it wide again.
In the 34th minute, Jose was put to the first real test.
A direct pass from outside the arc island of Lamela.
Harry Kane, who successfully countered offside, got a chance to face Jose alone.
So far this season, Harry Kane leads the scorers with 24 goals, one more than second-placed Sergio Aguero.
In the face of Harry Kane's one-on-one knife, Jose decisively met it.
Harry Kane didn't hit the ball the first time, but wanted to shake Jose.
How could José let the other party get his wish? For the sake of security, the plug-in was decisively used.
Using the plug-in, Jose poked the ball from under Harry Kane's feet.
Jose denied a one-on-one chance.
In the 38th minute, Verhengtong was in defense and directly ripped Costa's jersey.
But Clattenberg still didn't say anything.
As a result, the boos from the Chelsea fans never stopped.
In the 44th minute, Son Heung-min almost opened the scoring for Tottenham.
Eriksen passes.
Son Heung-min won the ball and slammed into the right side of the box at high speed and fired into the bottom right corner from 12 yards.
Jose was the first to attack and block.

Chelsea avoided falling behind at half-time.
In stoppage time of the half, a clash broke out between players from both sides on the field.
Willian broke through with the ball on the left.
As a result, Danny Ross was dragged hard from behind with both hands and knocked to the ground.
William was immediately furious, got up and rushed at Danny Rose.
The two pushed each other on the spot.
It was a great surprise that Tottenham coach Mauricio Pochettino actually entered the pitch to persuade him.
This is a serious violation.
Players from both sides gathered together in an instant.
If Jose hadn't been too far away, he would have really wanted to go up and kick him a few times.
Tottenham's players are really dirty.
In the past, Jose always felt that Atletico Madrid's style of play was dirty, but compared to Tottenham, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket.
However, this team does not have a clean place under its feet, and after 36 rounds of games, there is not a single red card, which is really incomprehensible.
During the clashes, Dembele even grabbed Diego Costa in the face with his hands, but he also went unpunished.
In the end, Willian and Danny Rose were each given 50 boards, and both received yellow cards.
At the end of the first half, Tottenham had committed a whopping 19 fouls, more than three times as many as Chelsea, and that didn't include undecided fouls.
In the face of Tottenham's frequent black-footed play, I don't know how Chelsea will respond in the second half.
