Chapter 284: It's Completely One-sided

At 2:45 a.m. China time on May 4 (20:45 local time in Germany on the 3rd), the second leg of the Champions League semifinals between Chelsea and Bayern officially began.

There has been only one change to the Chelsea squad compared to the first leg.

John Terry returned from injury and partnered John Stones in a centre-back pairing.

The other is that the formation has changed to 4231, with Nemanja Matic and Cesc Fabregas partnering in the back two and Diego Costa up front.

Away against Bayern, Mourinho will of course have to focus on defense.

As for Bayern, the personnel changes are a bit bigger.

Muller and Franck Ribery came on as substitutes in the first leg, replacing Coman and Thiago.

Boateng also started in place of Bernat and Alaba switched to the left.

The specific list is as follows.

Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer.

Defenders: Alaba, Boateng, Xavi Martinez, Lahm.

Midfielders: Vidal, Xavi Alonso, Thomas Muller.

Forwards: Franck Ribery, Robert Lewandowski, Douglas Costa.

In the centre circle, Chelsea kicked off first.

The ball is passed back to Jose.

Through God's perspective, José found a gap in Bayern.

Jose played a long ball directly down the left and the ball reached Eden Hazard's feet.

Hazard advanced with the ball on the flank, and in the blink of an eye it was already outside the left side of the opposition penalty area.

Just as Hazard was about to push further, Lahm stretched out his foot and tripped Hazard.

Chelsea were awarded a free-kick on the left side of the pitch.

Willian handles the free-kick.

There was no cross, no shot, but a return pass to Cesc Fabregas on the perimeter.

After Xiaofa got the ball, he shot directly outside the penalty area.

It's a pity that it was easily confiscated by Neuer.

Unable to get a single blow, the Chelsea players decisively retreated to their own half.

Jose Mourinho has made it clear that he wants to carry out the bus tactics to the end.

Bayern midfielder controls the ball.

In the face of Chelsea's retreating defence, Bayern had no chance at all.

In the 7th minute, Muller's long-range shot from outside the box was easily confiscated by Jose.

After getting the ball, Jose saw an opportunity to counter-attack in front.

Without any pause, Jose kicked off the ball with a big kick in the first place.

The ball instantly crossed the midfield and reached the feet of Eden Hazard.

Hazard won the ball and ran wildly and once again hit the left side of the penalty area.

In the face of an interception by a Bayern player, Hazard shook off the opposition and then crossed with his feet.

In the position of the arc island, Xiaofa hit the goal directly after getting the ball.

Unfortunately, the angle of the shot was too positive and was blocked by Neuer.

Bayern get a chance to counter-attack.

Douglas Costa won the ball on the right and had no choice but to pass back behind Azpilicueta's interception.

Vidal won the ball and cut inside and suddenly shot from outside the box.

The ball arcs beautifully in the air towards the top left corner of the goal.

Unfortunately, the ball speed was a little worse and was easily confiscated by Jose.

Bayern had a number of shots, but most of them came from outside the box.

With Jose's reflexes now, a ball speed below 150 mph doesn't threaten him at all.

In the 20th minute, Jose received the first test of the game.

Boateng sent the ball over the top from the flanks and into the right side of the Chelsea penalty area.

Muller stepped forward to face Jose, but instead of shooting straight at goal, he offloaded the ball to Lewandowski on the left.

Jose, who was about to attack, decisively returned to the goal line.

On the left side of the small penalty area, Lewandowski shoots from a small angle.

There was no threat left, and Jose, who returned to the defense, easily confiscated Lewandowski's shot.

Bayern's attack, if Muller hits the goal directly, Jose may not be able to face it easily, but he chose to pass the ball to Lewandowski, which is completely wrong.

The higher the success rate of Jose's saves, the better his "unbeaten field" will be.

On the pitch, in addition to individual skills, mental attributes are just as important.

Jose takes a goal kick.

Unfortunately, Chelsea's attacking effect was also not very effective, after all, it was Manuel Neuer who was on the opposite side.

Four minutes later, Bayern's cross from the right was headed over by a Chelsea player.

Outside the box, Ribery wins the ball.

From 30 yards, Ribery volleyed in.

The ball floated towards the top of the goal.

It's a very long-range ball of fallen leaves.

Jose blocks the ball with both fists.

Due to the extremely fast falling speed of the fallen ball, there is a possibility that the ball will be lost if you catch it rashly.

The blocked ball lands on the edge of the six-yard box.

Lewandowski and Stones rushed towards the ball at the same time.

As a result, Lewandowski got the ball first and shot directly with his left foot.

The ball flew towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

However, Jose seemed to have anticipated it, making a quick save and holding the ball firmly with both hands.

In the first half hour, Chelsea made 13 clearances, while Bayern had 0, and the scene was completely one-sided.

In the 32nd minute, Boateng crossed from the rib position.

The first drop was blocked by a Chelsea player.

The ball falls to the edge of the arc island outside the box.

Nemanja Matic and Alaba both stepped up at the same time.

As a result, Alaba took the lead on the ball and Nemanja Matic tripped Alaba as a result.

"Beep, beep~" The referee's whistle sounded.

Nemanja Matic was fouled and Bayern were awarded a free-kick from just outside the left side of the island.

Alonso stood on the penalty spot.

Jose hurriedly organized a wall of people.

In the process, Muller interfered with Chelsea's human wall.

"Beep~"

Alonso hits the back of the net straight at the goal.

The ball passes under the wall and flies towards the bottom left corner of the goal.

Jose was making his way to the right side of the goal.

Did Jose misjudge?

No, it's definitely not that simple.

It turned out that Alonso's free-kick, when it passed through the soles of the crowd's feet, touched the inside of Stones' leg, and immediately changed the line, from flying to the right side of the goal to flying to the left side of the goal.

With a sudden change of direction, even if Jose uses a plug-in, it is impossible for him to make a save.

"Time and Space Pause" is powerful, but it is only for a second.

Bayern have a one-goal lead at home.

Both sides returned to the same starting line.

If the score continues until the end, the two sides will go to extra time.

Alonso excitedly ran to the sidelines to celebrate, his sixth Champions League goal, and all three of his Champions League goals for Bayern came from free-kicks.

Bayern have scored in all 24 competitive home games this season.

As the so-called house leak coincided with overnight rain.

Just two minutes later, Bayern had another chance.

Douglas Costa takes a corner from the left.

The ball flew over the box and went straight to the right edge of the box.

"Beep, beep~" Just as Rahm was about to step forward to get the ball, the referee's whistle sounded.

It turned out that when Martinez stepped forward to grab the point, he was thrown to the ground by Stones with his left hand.

John Stones was booked.

This foul of his was completely unnecessary.

While he was responsible for Chelsea's goal-conceding, no one would ever place the blame on him.

Stones is still a little younger.

Muller stood at the penalty spot, and the pressure on Jose was naturally immense.

It was Jose, on the other hand, who was just standing quietly on the goal line.

Jose has never missed a penalty this season, giving the Chelsea side a lot of confidence.

Muller pushes into the bottom left corner.

His shot was so obvious that Jose could easily tell which direction his opponent's shot was going on.

Without the use of plug-ins, the god-level prediction did not respond, and there was not even a sixth sense, Jose lunged to the left side of the goal and easily saved Muller's penalty.

The ball didn't roll far, the danger was still there.

José got up from the ground as fast as he could.

On the left side of the six-yard box, Alonso got the ball before everyone else.

Without any pause, Alonso shot from a tight angle.

At this point, Jose had already finished standing up, facing Alonso's follow-up shot, and bent down to win easily.

Jose made a miraculous double save.

Compared to Jose's dazzling saves, Muller was a bit of a sigh.

Muller has missed two penalties in a row in the Champions League, and three of the seven penalties in the Champions League.

Under the influence of Muller, Bayern has become the team that has missed the most penalties in the Champions League in the past three seasons.

In the 37th minute, a very interesting scene happened on the field.

Lewandowski and Ivan fought on the wing, and as a result, Lewandowski fell to the ground.

Mourinho thought that Lewandowski was a fake fall at all, and immediately asked the referee for a theory.

However, Ribery stopped him.

Mourinho was very angry and immediately wanted to push Ribery away, but probably thought that the referee was targeting him, so he avoided Ribery and complained to the referee from the other side.

As it turned out, Mourinho's complaint did not have any effect.

The first half of the game is over.

Chelsea have 0 touches in the Bayern penalty area.

Bayern, on the other hand, had 16 shots against Jose's goal, and they also set a record for a first-half shot in the Champions League since Plzen in 2013.

In the previous three Champions League games, he had 15+ shots on goal in the first half, and he ended up winning by at least 5 goals.

If it weren't for Jose's brave performance, only the first half would have been beaten by Bayern.

In addition to the large number of shots on goal, the same is true for the number of passes.

Chelsea had just 45 shots on goal in the entire first half, while Alonso and Alaba combined had 48 passes.

Whether it's the scene or the stats, it's a one-sided game.

For those fans who don't like Mourinho, the excitement is extreme.

In the second half, the two sides exchanged venues.

Jose Mourinho was the first to make a substitution, with Mikel coming on in place of Pedro.

Chelsea stepped up their counter-attack.

In the 49th minute, Ivan hit the goal from the edge of the penalty area on the right, but unfortunately it missed the far post.

Bayern counter-attack and Alonso shoots low from the edge of the area.

Also confiscated by José.

In the 64th minute, Vidal picked up a pass from the front of the penalty area.

The ball went past the Chelsea defence and into the left side of the box.

From 10 yards in front of goal, Lewandowski volleyed a hook shot.

Still failed to threaten José.

Ancelotti then began to make substitutions.

Kingsley Coman replaces Douglas Costa.

Before you know it, almost 30 minutes have passed in the second half.

The score on the field was still Bayern 1-0 ahead.

In the 75th minute, Ribery made a direct pass from the left rib.

Alaba crosses from the left side of the box.

The ball went straight to the right side of the six-yard box, where Vidal was already in place.

Jose hurriedly moved to the right side of the goal in order to block Vidal.

From three yards out, Vidal pressed John Terry to the ball.

However, instead of heading the ball on goal, he opted for a header to be flicked to the other side of the goal, where Lewandowski was left unmarked.

Jose hurried to the left side of the goal, but it was too late.

The ball must have been flying faster than a human being, and Lewandowski was only three yards away.

It can be said that Chelsea at this moment, the left side of the empty goal.

Facing the empty door, Lewandowski tapped his head slightly.

The ball flies straight into the top left corner of the goal.

Jose used a "timeout", but still couldn't stop the ball from flying into the net.

Bayern lead 2-0.

If this score continues until the end, then it will be Bayern who advance.
