Chelsea and Barcelona still don't have any grudges at club level.

But the new and old hatred between the fans of the two teams has been completely turned over after this Champions League knockout match.

Chelsea fans breathed a sigh of relief, and the resentment and reluctance in their hearts at the time of the Stamford Bridge tragedy have only gradually dissipated today.

After all, their team has returned fiercely, and they still defeated Barcelona in front of them!

The result of the seven-goal slaughter could not have been more satisfying.

In particular, Drogba scored the last goal himself, which can be regarded as the end of the tragedy that year.

However, Chelsea fans are relieved now, but Barcelona fans are tossing and turning, unable to sleep day and night, and are so angry that they can't get enough of the two rounds of Champions League knockout rounds.

Of course, the only one who can wash away the shame is the same level of wild victory.

Perhaps this month, Real Madrid will no longer be the most hated opponent in the hearts of Barcelona fans.

Chelsea have already made it to the top of the list of clubs that Barcelona fans hate the most.

The promotion of the media and the heated discussions between different fan groups have made the discussion of these two Champions League knockout matches more and more hot.

In addition to ridiculing Barcelona's poor performance in the Champions League, neutral fans are more curious about how Chelsea managed to slaughter the current top team in La Liga with seven goals.

Of course, there is a big difference in quality between the two teams, and the results have proven themselves.

But truth be told, even now, many neutral fans find it hard to believe that Chelsea can do a two-legged seven-goal slaughter against Barca.

There's a lot to be said about the tactics here.

And with the lessons of this round of Champions League knockout rounds, no matter which strong team meets Chelsea next, I am afraid it will not let go of playing against Chelsea.

Bayern fans, who had been hoping to defend their Champions League title this season and replicate the feat of Real Madrid in previous years, are now completely wary of Chelsea.

Also after this knockout round, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are also the biggest rivals in this season's Champions League.

And before the Champions League quarter-finals draw officially begins, all the remaining Champions League teams will probably be praying that Chelsea will not be drawn early in the four-of-eight.

Interestingly, though, Chelsea's players are now desperate to play in a strong team and are eager to draw another top team from the top four leagues in the next knockout round.

This is also because of a previous interview with Leon.

At that time, a reporter from Sky Sports asked Li Ang before the start of the draw for the Champions League 1/8 knockout round which team he wanted to draw as his opponent.

Leon has made it clear that he hopes to draw the champions of the major leagues all the way until Chelsea achieves the goal of winning the Champions League this season!

If that happens, Chelsea will set a new Champions League record.

Kill all the champions of the four major leagues!

This kind of championship process is exciting enough and tough enough.

After successfully slaughtering Barcelona, the players of the Chelsea team naturally have such confidence and confidence.

Leon's ambitions have never been hidden, but his vision and goals are just as cool.

Defeat the strongest opponent and win the most valuable Champions League trophy, as a professional player, you should have such a pursuit!

If you want to reach the top of the Champions League, instead of relying on luck to draw lots, it is better to work together and pick the most difficult road to the end.

There are only five Champions League games left to play.

Fight the next game, and you will be one step closer to the final victory.

Chelsea have one of the most experienced managers and players in winning the Champions League in the past few seasons.

Compared with strength, experience, and mentality, they are no worse than other teams, and the momentum is out, that is, they have to rush to the end!

Of course, Chelsea's players will not be able to shout to the world that they are aiming to overthrow all the big teams in the Champions League.

There is still a big difference between boosting morale in the team and deliberately pulling hatred.

In the case that the British media is extremely nervous and has helped Chelsea pull a lot of fans from other teams, the players in the Chelsea team are still quite low-key.

The main thing is that Mu Shuai also said hello in advance.

He can stand up and attract the attention of the media and reporters, but he has never liked the players under his command to get too deep into the public opinion storm.

It's also a way for him to protect his team and his players.

After playing the second leg of the Champions League match with Barcelona, Leon also returned to the rhythm of rest and training in a low-key manner.

Facing Barcelona scoring 5 goals in two legs, Leon's limelight has overshadowed all the superstars in football recently!

In fact, his agency team has received countless requests for interviews from well-known sports media in various countries.

But Leon pushed it down.

In the sprint of the season, he still maintained the professional habit of the past few years, which is to focus on the game, and only on the game!

Jose Mourinho is most pleased with this habit and he is leading by example to make a lasting impact on his younger team-mates.

On the afternoon of March 15, Chelsea sat at Stamford Bridge to usher in the 29th round of the Premier League against Southampton.

Southampton, who are currently sixth in the Premier League, still have good hopes of reaching the European places.

After losing Mauricio Pochettino and a group of young talents, Southampton were able to achieve such an impressive record, which really surprised many Premier League fans who were not optimistic about them before the season.

However, in Leon's view, it is normal for Southampton in the post-Pochettino era to play well in the league.

Their current manager is the Barcelona legend and the current Dutch coach, Ronald Koeman.

In the current Southampton team, there are Tadic, Mane, Schneiderlin, Wanyama, Jose Fonte, Alderweireld, Klein, Ward-Prowse and other powerful and even popular stars in the future Premier League.

Southampton is not short of hardware prowess and software tactics.

If their big boss is rich enough to keep the current squad.

After two more seasons, this Southampton team even has a lot of hope of making it to the Champions League every year!

Compared to West Ham United, which was short-lived this season, Southampton is the top six team that is truly rooted in the top six of the Premier League.

It's a pity that Southampton's survival mode is difficult to change, and continuing to train new players and then sell them to the league's top teams is enough for them to live a nourishing life.

Leon also knows that after today's game, he will not see such a Southampton team next season.

Competing with Mane, who is still a little immature, is also a novel experience for Leon.

And Mane, who missed the opportunity to face off against Chelsea in the first half of the league, also looked at Leon curiously and eagerly before the game began.

When he was training at the Metz Academy, Mane established a friendship with Huaguo's academy player Wang Chu.

Li Ang was born that year and represented Real Madrid at the beginning of La Liga.

Mane also played with Wang Chu in Metz B, which is still far from the stage of real professional football.

Wang Chu, who was basically the same age as Li Ang, respected Li Ang very much at that time, and even took Mane to watch a lot of classic games during Li Ang's Real Madrid period.

It's definitely impossible to talk about idols, but Ma does have a lot of admiration for Leon in his heart.

After all, this year, he has basically harvested enough heavyweight championship trophies every year, successfully defended the Champions League, and is worth more than 100 million young players, and Li Ang is the only one.

Now that he has worked hard to stand on the stage where he can compete with Li Ang, Ma is also holding back a lot of energy in his heart and wants to perform well!

But after the start of the day's game, Mane was not able to compete with Leon as he wished.

He plays as a right winger, directly opposite Chelsea's left wing-back Bertrand, and the main assistant to Bertrand is of course the little pony.

Unless it is a very special situation, Li Ang will generally not switch positions with Xiao Ma and defend in the left area of the midfield.

So Mane's pre-match wish was frustrated.

After being taught a little lesson by Little Pony and Bertrand, in the fourteenth minute of the first half, Mane, who was not discouraged, finally switched sides with his teammate Tadic and stood in front of Leon with the ball.

What had been fantasized years ago became a reality in this moment.

But what caught Mane off guard was that it took only five seconds for Leon to make a quick move to cut off the football he controlled in a head-to-head duel with him!

Although this time Leon's counterattack after breaking the ball did not break through Southampton's goal, Mane still has palpitations.

"Don't think about it, Sadio, you did a great job, it's just that the opponent you faced today is really too strong, Leon's defense is like this, you don't know when he will play, and when he plays, you often lose the ball......"

Ward-Prowse, who was obviously younger than Mane, pretended to be very mature at this time and came over to comfort Mane.

It seemed that he remembered the painful experience of being taught a lesson by Leon before, and Ward Prowse sighed himself after finishing speaking.

His growth rate is actually quite impressive, and he has played better than last season, but facing Leon again, he is frustrated to find that his growth rate is actually far from enough.

The biggest blow to all talented players is that they are facing players who are even more "talented" than them.

After playing against Leon, Ward-Prowse's confidence was once again frustrated.

At this moment, Southampton has also faded in front of Chelsea, and they have brought countless Premier League viewers the image of a talented team.

Their struggles against Chelsea are similar to those of the rest of the Premier League's mid-table teams.

Jerky and weak.

However, they were also lucky enough to meet a Chelsea team who felt clearly out of shape when shooting.

Chelsea, who had 11 shots on goal in the first half, ended up with just two on target.

Ibrahimovic felt good physically, but he lost his sense of smell on the last hit of the day in front of the door.

After the half-time draw with Southampton, Mourinho took the initiative at half-time to ask his disciples to be more patient and delicate in the second half.

Ibrahimovic, who was not in particularly good form in front of goal today, was not replaced by Mourinho.

Jose Mourinho has chosen to continue to trust Sweden's Magic Tower and give him more time to adapt.

In the second half, Leon was pushed into the forward position.

He also sought to link up with Ibrahimovic and Eden Hazard on a number of occasions after advancing with the ball.

If you don't shoot well, then touch the ball more and find a feeling.

Leon believed that Ibrahimovic could adjust himself, but he really couldn't, and after 70 minutes, he used his own way to solve the game.

And the facts have proved that his trust was not in vain.

Ibrahimovic couldn't score in the end in this game, but he dropped back in the 57th minute of the second half to send a tacit through ball to Leon who was in front of him!

Leon seized this rare opportunity to attack and boldly fired a low shot into the far corner to successfully score!

It was the only goal of the game as Chelsea secured all three points in a narrow 1-0 win at home to Southampton.

Mane was given his much-needed shirt after the game.

However, he was very shy, and it was Ward Prowse who volunteered to take him to Leon to exchange jerseys.

Leon gave Mane a welcome hug and wished him the best of luck in the Premier League.

After the game against Southampton, Chelsea entered a rare week of recuperation.

During this period, the much-anticipated Champions League 1/4 final draw ceremony was held in Nyon, Switzerland as scheduled.

The three Premier League teams who have secured three places in the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League have not met each other.

Bayern and Borussia Dort staged a civil war in the Bundesliga.

Manchester City plays Real Madrid, Arsenal plays Atletico Madrid, and Chelsea meet Juventus, the current leader of Serie A!

This draw of lots, as Li Ang wishes~
