The moment the whistle blew, the Manchester City fans at the Etihad Stadium were all boiling.

"We won!"

"We're going to the Final Four!"

Manchester City fans are undoubtedly blessed to be able to witness history at home.

The Barcelona fans who came thousands of miles to watch the game away from home shed tears of remorse at this time.

If we can win Manchester City at home, we will probably be the ones who will qualify at this time!

On the field, Messi crossed his hands on his hips, stared at the bright red number on the scoreboard, and remained motionless for a long time.

Barcelona lost and fell in the Champions League again.

Last time it was in the semi-finals, this time it was in the quarter-finals.

This record is getting worse and worse every year.

Thinking of this, Messi sighed and turned his head to look at the other half.

Over there, the excited Manchester City players were throwing their winning man, Lin Quan, into the air and celebrating wildly.

Iniesta walked up to Messi, patted him on the shoulder and comforted:

"Leo, don't be sad, we'll definitely be back next year!"

Messi nodded, but he couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.

Barcelona's squad is aging year by year, and Xavi's state is only afraid that he will retire next season.

Without Xavi, Barcelona's strength will be further reduced.

Will we really be able to get it back next year?

For the first time, Messi had doubts about the future.

Lin Quan's jersey was booked by Xavi early in the last game, and this time, after the game, Cesc Fabregas found him as soon as possible to exchange jerseys with him.

"Lin, congratulations!"

Cesc Fabregas took off his shirt and put it in Lin Quan's hands while talking to him.

To be honest, Xiaofa was a little envious of Lin Quan in his heart.

During the winter break, Manchester City had an affair with him.

However, the transfer did not materialise and City bought Kevin De Bruyne and Kroos.

If Barcelona and Manchester City reached this deal at that time, then now, I am afraid that I am also in the celebration team of Manchester City!

It's a pity that there are no ifs!

"Thank you, and I wish you all the best in winning the league!"

Lin Quan quickly took off his jersey and exchanged it with Xiaofa, and also sent his blessings.

"Hehe, I hope!"

To Lin Quan's blessing, Xiaofa showed a wry smile.

In terms of Barca's current form, he is pessimistic about winning the league.

They will face Atletico Madrid at home in the final round, and with Atletico's form this season, Barcelona are not sure of beating them.

Simeone's side's high pressing and iron-clad defence were a bit of a restraint for Barcelona, and they had to go all out at home under the pressure of falling behind.

And their attack may be in the hands of Atletico Madrid.

Therefore, if the score cannot be reversed before the final round of matches, from behind Atletico to leading Atletico Madrid, then in the final round, Barcelona will lose the title if it does not win.

How much pressure this kind of pressure is, Xiaofa experienced it several times when he was at Arsenal.

……

In this game, Manchester City's big boss Mansour also came to the scene.

Mansour was delighted to see his side knock out Barcelona at home and reach the semi-finals in a historic way.

Having invested so much money in this team, today I finally saw a little bit of gain.

On such a happy day, you have to share your joy.

So, he asked his assistant to bring over a few suitcases that had been prepared in advance.

These suitcases were full of cash, £5 million in total!

He is going to use the money as a prize money for Manchester City to reach the last four and take it to the team's dressing room to hand out to the players!

When the City players returned to the dressing room after their celebrations, they were greeted by a mountain of cash.

"Holy! So much money!"

"Who robbed the bank? Where did you get so much money? ”

"By the way, I'll take a little secretly, and no one will notice, right?"

Negredo looked like he was interested in seeing money, facing everyone, but secretly taking money behind his back.

"There is no monitoring here, as long as you can hide from our dozen pairs of eyes, then take it casually!"

The eyes of Kolarov and the others were staring at him, and Negredo was uncomfortable.

"Hey, just kidding, just kidding, how could I be such an upright, honest, friendly and good person?"

Negredo put down the stolen money, angry at why he was wearing a jersey.

Who designed this damn jersey, there is not even a pocket on the body, and there is nowhere to hide the money if you want to.

Seeing Negredo playing here, the vice-captain Zabaleta knocked on his head and said with a smile:

"According to our boss's style, this should be a bonus given to us by the big boss, right?"

Zabaleta has been with Manchester City for six years and arrived in the same year that the Middle East consortium took over.

So I know a lot about the style of the team's big boss.

With so much money coming out at once, it can't be anyone else except the big boss.

"Bonus? Hey, does that mean we can split it up with our hands? ”

As soon as they heard that it was a prize money, the players' eyes lit up.

I'm not sleepy when you say this!

Smack!

It was at this moment that Manuel Pellegrini walked in.

"The distribution of prize money will be based on the contribution made to the team in these two games, do you agree?"

Everyone looked at it, and next to Pellegrini was the club's president, Fahim.

Obviously, this arrangement is meant by the latter.

So everyone nodded their heads, indicating that they had no objection to this distribution.

More work and more rewards, such a simple and simple truth, everyone still understands.

So, based on starting time, goals, assists, and performance at both ends of the pitch, Pellegrini divided the money.

Lin Quan and other main players got the first gear, 300,000 pounds.

Those who were not starters but played games took the second pot, £100,000.

Finally, there are the players who did not play, £50,000 each.

The coaching staff split the remaining £1 million!

In this way, just 5 million pounds were divided.

After the money was divided, everyone was overjoyed.

I really hope that such a good thing can be encountered in every game, in that case, just getting a prize money can almost catch up with their annual salary!

Of course, for a player like Lin Quan, who earns up to £20 million a year, these bonuses are still a little less.

"Okay, take the money and go back to rest early, we're going to Anfield the day after tomorrow, I don't want to see any of you scandal in the headlines tomorrow!"

After Pellegrini's advice, he walked out of the dressing room.

Manchester City's players are also very obedient, the league title has not yet been won, and this time cannot be relaxed.

At least they won't be able to breathe a sigh of relief until they beat Liverpool away from home!

After quickly taking a shower and changing clothes in the locker room, Lin Quan drove back to his home.

On the way back, he glanced at the score of another game.

Manchester United were beaten 3-1 by Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena and were eliminated from the tournament with an aggregate score of 4-2 over the two legs.

Bayern showed great dominance in this game, taking an early 2-0 lead in the first half, and Robben scored another goal in the second half to extend the lead to three goals.

Pep Guardiola began to make substitutions after the 75th minute, replacing Robben and Ribery and other key players.

This kind of substitution has a feeling of not looking at Manchester United opposite.

As a result, the angry Manchester United launched a counter-attack and finally scored a goal in the 85th minute of the second half.

However, United's counter-attack also stopped like this, and they were unable to perform a miracle comeback at the Allianz Arena and were unfortunately eliminated.

So far, Manchester United has lost on all four fronts this year.

The Champions League ended in the quarterfinals, ranking 7th in the league, 7 points behind fourth-placed Arsenal, and basically missed out on next season's Champions League.

The League Cup and FA Cup were also knocked out early, and this season Manchester United has lost all four and won nothing.

Such a result has made both the Red Devils fans and the club very unhappy, and there are rumours that the countdown to the Scotman's departure from Old Trafford has begun.

Only, what about after the dismissal of Moyes?

Who are United going to hire to coach?

Whether they admit it or not, Ferguson's departure marks the end of an era for Manchester United.

David Moyes can't lead Manchester United to good results, can other managers really do it when they come?

Lin Quan is not very optimistic about the future of Manchester United, after all, Manchester United has been tossing for ten years in the original plane, and it may not be finished tossing.........

……

After Manchester City's home and away double and elimination of Barcelona, the entire football world was shocked!

The Internet, TV stations, newspaper media, etc., are all boiling.

The mighty Cosmos team, just like that?

"Manchester City is awesome, double kill Barcelona, it's too good!"

"Hehe, before the game, the media were touting what kind of giants Barcelona has and what kind of universe team, looking down on Manchester City, and now they have been slapped in the face, right?"

"Who would have thought that a team that has never broken into the knockout stage of the Champions League can defeat the powerful Barcelona, you must know that Barcelona has the world's No. 1 Messi in the team!"

"But Manchester City also has Lin Huang, Lin Huang scored 3 goals in the two legs, more than Messi's goals!"

"One thing to say, Lin Huang can't be said to be a complete explosion in this encounter, but it is indeed better than Messi's performance!"

"Messi's state in this game doesn't seem to be very good, I look at the technical statistics after the game, he only ran a total of 6,000 meters in the whole game, is this too little?"

"It's really a bit little, modern players, if you play the whole game, not to mention 10,000 meters, 9,000 meters always have to run, right?"

"Maybe it's because Messi is an offensive player and doesn't take on defensive tasks, so he doesn't run a lot of distance?"

"Maybe it's because Messi's fitness is not good? I think he seems to be walking around the field a lot. ”

"Anyway, what is the running distance of Lin Huang, I see that he often sprints back and forth, and the running distance should exceed 10,000, right?"

"Breaking 10,000? Hehe, it's almost the same if you add another three thousand! ”

"13,000 kilometers of running distance? Could it be that the technical statistics are wrong? That's an exaggerated number, isn't it? ”

"That's right, that's what I see!"

"Lin Huang is too capable of running, right? That's more than twice as many as Messi! ”

"It's even more terrifying than Park Sanlung back then!"

……

Before the start of the two-legged match, the outside world was unanimously optimistic about the traditional giant Barcelona, but Manchester City slapped everyone who looked down on them in the face!

Beating Barcelona home and away proves that their victory is well deserved, not a coincidence!

If they didn't really surpass Barcelona in hard power, how could they have captured Camp Nou, and how could they have blown Barcelona up at the Etihad Stadium?

After the game, the media who were slapped in the face not only did not feel ashamed, but shamelessly began to praise Manchester City.

The media on Fleet Street, in particular, have begun to play their housekeeping skills of blowing to death.

The Guardian: Manchester City knocked out Barcelona and it wasn't an upset, they took their chances and won the game, we are witnessing the birth of a great team!

The Times: Ambitious, courageous and hungry, Manchester City have won, congratulations!

This time Messi failed to become Barcelona's savior, he was more like a spectator, and Lin Quan was a hero in Manchester!

BBC: Barcelona played in pain, if it wasn't for the help of the goalpost, they would have been bloodied by Manchester City in the first half, Manchester City's victory was a hard power and tactical victory, they may have provided the world with a tactic to restrain Barca's passing and controlling football!

"World Sports": Failure is always bitter, but for Barcelona, this season's game is not over, and there are no five rounds of league to play in the end, I hope Barcelona can get out of the shadow of failure, recover as soon as possible, and complete the league defense!

Daily Sport: Barcelona have wasted too many chances at the Etihad Stadium and if we had a super striker in our front line to help Messi share the attacking pressure, the outcome of this game could have been completely different!

Because in the pre-match press conference, Martino had publicly stated that he would submit his resignation to the club if he lost the game against Manchester City.

Therefore, after this game, many reporters bothered him with this question.

Martino's words were supposed to be a victory to slap these journalists in the face.

Unexpectedly, if the cup was not loaded, he was counterattacked, and in the face of the reporter's difficulty, he couldn't get off the stage, and finally broke up unhappily.

The reporters were clearly not prepared to let him go so far, and in the next day's report, they were completely critical of Martino.

What tactics are conservative, what arrogance, no one in sight and other bad words, all sent to him.

What the media said is not completely unreasonable, and Martino must be responsible for Barcelona's loss.

His tactics and ability to use people and adjust on the spot are indeed substandard.

Although his contract with Barcelona has not expired, looking at this posture, once Barcelona loses the championship in the league, Martino will definitely pack up his things and leave.

It's just that I don't know if he will choose to take the initiative to terminate the contract with the club, or accept the club's liquidated damages compensation and be fired.

After the match between Manchester City and Barcelona, the next day, the other two matches of the Champions League quarter-finals were played one after another.

Real Madrid, sitting at home, easily defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 and broke into the semi-finals.

In this game, Real Madrid once again showed the world the power of 200 million Qi Fei.

Bale, in particular, was almost unbeatable on the wings, and his lightning-fast pace made the players in Paris miserable.

Bale scored in the third minute of the opening game, which put Paris on the back foot from the start.

Paris Saint-Germain need to score at least 2 goals to advance!

Under the leadership of Ibrahimovic, Paris Saint-Germain stubbornly launched a counterattack and tried to change his life.

But Cristiano Ronaldo's goal in the 57th minute completely killed their hopes of qualifying!

In the end, at the Bernabeu, Grand Paris was beaten into a small Paris by the mighty Real Madrid, and fell on the way to the semi-finals.

In the other game, Atletico Madrid, who returned to play at home, showed an extremely tenacious style.

He limited Dortmund's attack with tenacious defence and mad dog pressing, and in the second half, he took advantage of a counter-attack opportunity to score a goal from Diego Costa.

It was the only goal scored by both teams over the two legs.

But it was with this goal that was worth a thousand gold, and Atletico successfully broke into the last four.

After the game, Simeone's steel defense shook the whole of Europe.

Looking at the whole of Europe, there are few teams that have the ability to defend against Dortmund's attack, and teams such as Real Madrid, Bayern, and Barcelona may not be able to do it.

However, Atletico kept a clean sheet over two legs, much to the astonishment of their defensive prowess.

No wonder Atletico Madrid can become the leader of La Liga, and can seize the opportunity to win the championship in the hands of the two top giants Real Madrid and Barcelona, their strength should not be underestimated!

After this game, Simeone and his coach Atletico Madrid became famous in Europe, and Atletico Madrid began to enter the ranks of the top teams.

Of course, compared with Manchester City's elimination of Barcelona, Simeone and Atletico Madrid are still much less popular.

After the match on 11 April, the draw for the Champions League semi-finals began shortly after.

After Manchester City had finished training for the day, Manuel Pellegrini gathered his players to watch the draw together at the club.

The first to be drawn is Bayern, and their opponents are Atletico Madrid.

Bayern manager Hoeness, who came to the scene, was relieved to see this signing and seemed to think that the result was not bad.

It's no wonder he thinks so, Real Madrid is so strong that the whole of Europe is amazed, and no one wants to run into them in advance until the last minute.

Naturally, Bayern doesn't want to touch this brow!

As for Manchester City, Bayern have faced them in the group stage before.

Bayern were drawn and lost in the two-legged home and away ties, and did not take advantage of anything at all.

Although Bayern are not necessarily worse than Manchester City, they do not want to meet Manchester City again.

Therefore, of the three opponents, only Atletico are the best suited for them.

After the matchup between Atletico Madrid and Bayern was released, the remaining two teams were naturally divided together.

Manchester City will face a strong Real Madrid in the semi-finals and, according to the fixtures, they are home and away, and the fixtures are very unfavourable for them.

Seeing the result of this draw, the smile on the face of Manchester City chairman Fahim, who came to the scene, froze a little.

On the other hand, Real Madrid's president Florentino's expression is also a little unpleasant.

What the hell is UEFA doing?

Look at the scandal between Real Madrid and Manchester City's Lin and draw us together?

However, this result is not bad, and among the three opponents, the most suitable for Real Madrid may be Manchester City.

The last thing they want to face is Atletico Madrid, followed by Bayern Munich.

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have met twice this season, with one draw and one loss, and the one they lost was at their own home stadium.

Simeone's Atletico is like a stinky stone in a pit, stinky and hard, and hard to beat!

Happy Children's Day, everyone, and I wish you all younger and younger!

By the way, a little ask for a monthly pass!
