After winning the title early, the whole Chelsea squad celebrated unofficially directly at their home stadium.

Their league clash with Manchester City has been a tough season this season.

They trailed Manchester City a few times midway through the season, but the manager's bold decision to reduce the burden allowed the team to gradually grasp the initiative in the middle and late stages of the league.

Fortunately, Manchester City was too greedy this season and wanted everything in the fourth-line battle, which led to the collapse of the whole line at the end of the season.

Otherwise, it is really difficult for Chelsea to beat Manchester City in advance to win the Premier League title this season.

Now that I think about it, Chelsea relied on rotation to withstand the pressure at the tightest moment of the fixture, and it was bold not to give Manchester City a chance to turn the tables.

However, now that the league championship has been reached, it is an indisputable fact that Chelsea is the league champion this season, regardless of whether the outside world says that Chelsea is lucky or Manchester City can win the championship in a single line!

Leon was so happy at home that he even rode on Maguire's shoulder at one point and sang and cheered with his team-mates with his bare body.

Don't look at him, he seems to have won the championship softly, and now he has also collected the title of three of the four major European leagues, but it is also the first time for him to achieve the achievement of three consecutive leagues, and it is inevitable that he will be excited.

However, the Chelsea coaching staff eventually persuaded the excited young players.

While they were happy to win the league title, their season is not over yet, as they face Atletico Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final three days away.

With a tight schedule of preparations, and even more so rest, it's not wise to focus too much energy on celebrating at the moment.

After Li Ang calmed down, he also directly dispelled the idea of inviting his teammates to carnival again at night.

Although I can't go to the nightclub, it's okay to invite my teammates to a sumptuous celebration dinner that night.

After reporting to Lao Mu, Li Ang led his teammates to the best French restaurant in the city of London.

And just when the whole Chelsea team celebrated winning the league championship, various British media also took advantage of the trend to enter the public opinion harvest period.

It's just that this time, compared with the previous fancy touting, the way these British media attract the attention of fans is very different.

They chose the most traffic-pulling method, comparing Manchester United, another traffic king in the Premier League today, with Chelsea.

Of course, it's not about Manchester United and Chelsea now, it's about Manchester United, the former Premier League hegemon, and Chelsea now.

Since the turn of the millennium, the team that has won the most Premier League trophies has been the Red Devils, Manchester United have won the Premier League eight times since 2000.

It can be said that Ferguson's Manchester United has been a very dominant top team in the Premier League and Champions League, except for a few seasons of decline.

After Chelsea won the Premier League three times in a row, the number of titles in the new century has also come to six, and there is still some gap between Chelsea and Manchester United in terms of domination of the Premier League.

However, in terms of the height of achievement, Chelsea surpassed Manchester United last summer and wrote the ceiling record of Premier League single-season honours.

In the past, major Premier League fans liked to compare Chelsea and Manchester United in the first phase of the game, only because Chelsea were closer to Manchester United in terms of performance on the field than other Premier League teams at that time.

But now more fans compare Chelsea and Manchester United, and they really think that Chelsea is qualified to be on an equal footing with Manchester United in the new century!

Both teams have Champions League honours in their hands, with one side winning eight Premier League titles, the other side winning six Premier League titles, and both have built a dynasty that has won three consecutive titles.

In terms of annual achievements, Chelsea have an unprecedented seven-time title, and the Blues will have to hold the Red Devils in this regard!

Not to mention the fact that Manchester United's management is now extremely chaotic, and their poor performances on the pitch over the past three seasons have greatly ruined the perception of passers-by.

On one side are the old giants who are rapidly degrading and have no hope of rising at present.

On the other hand, there are new giants that are thriving like a new sunrise and are expected to achieve the great cause of defending the Champions League.

Fans know what to choose, and they also prefer Chelsea, which has less gossip off the pitch.

So the day after Chelsea's triumph, Sky Sports launched a survey to the wider fan base that gave overwhelming answers to the question of who they think is the best Premier League team in the new century.

Once again, Chelsea won everything, not just in games and honours, but in the public opinion environment across England.

Red Devils supporters are, of course, furious.

Manchester United, as the most successful club in the Premier League since its inception, is also the undisputed superpower of the Premier League, and has been the undisputed No. 1 in the Premier League no matter which media has selected it before.

The rest of the Premier League teams smell Manchester United's tail gas at best, and it's still far from getting close, let alone surpassing.

But now Chelsea, who has won the Premier League three times in a row, has suddenly become an existence that can be compared with Manchester United in the field of public opinion.

How can the long-proud Red Devils fans calm down?!

But the honours that made them so proud are gone, and the current Manchester United are hardly successful, and the public opinion environment is much worse than before.

Even though the Red Devils fans are strong on the Internet, they can't resist the "siege" of more Premier League fans.

As a little surfer, Li Ang of course likes to go online to watch the rainbow farts blown by fans on his team in his spare time.

However, in his opinion, he believes that there is still a big gap between Chelsea and Manchester United in terms of global influence and commercial development.

It's not like a big boost with a wave of heavyweight trophies in the short term.

Chelsea will still need time and a more savvy business operation to slowly catch up with some of the continent's established giants in terms of global influence.

Li Ang can't give advice on the specific operation method, but as a player who has experienced the power of Real Madrid's global commercial promotion, he still intuitively feels that Chelsea are lacking in this regard.

As the current captain of Chelsea, the only thing he can do to help is to lead the team to play well and complete the team's Champions League title defense as much as possible.

On the afternoon of 2 May, the entire Chelsea squad flew to Madrid.

After completing their regular pre-match kick-off at Calderón Stadium in the evening, the Chelsea players headed straight back to their hotel to recharge.

The next morning, the well-rested Chelsea players travelled by bus to the Valdebebas training base to complete their final practice session before the game.

Being able to borrow Real Madrid's training base before the game is naturally the result of Mourinho's communication with Real Madrid's senior management in advance.

And when he returned to his hometown again, Li Ang was as relaxed as going home.

The security guards at the gate of the training base, the cleaners in the base, the youth coaches and the staff who come and go... Leon knew them all.

After the morning's training, Leon led the team to the base restaurant, where the Chelsea players also met with the Real Madrid stars who had just finished the morning's training.

So a handshake and greetings were indispensable, and Li Ang also hugged and laughed with his old teammates again.

Chelsea will complete the second leg of their Champions League semi-final at the Calderon Stadium tonight with Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid will face Juventus in the second leg of their Champions League semi-final tomorrow night.

The players of both teams are more friendly at this time, cheering each other on for the finals.

Leon thought about it for a while, and finally pulled Modric and Casemiro aside.

"Tomorrow night you have to lock Pogba's play, the face brother is in good and bad shape, you give him intensity in the confrontation, he generally can't play well, isn't Marchisio injured? So you have to limit Pogba, his play will be affected, Juventus will lack organisation in the attacking end......"

Leon gave his own reminder to his old partner, and Modric and Casemiro looked at each other, and then nodded to Leon.

Li Ang didn't expect his suggestion to be directly adopted by the Real Madrid coaching staff, but as long as he could help Real Madrid, his reminder would not be in vain.

As for the specific tactical play that Real Madrid will choose in the future against Juventus, it is not something he should worry about.

After lunch at Real Madrid's training base, the Chelsea squad took the bus back to their hotel for a lunch break.

In the evening, Chelsea showed up at the Calderón Stadium in full swing.

The five-star football stadium, which can accommodate more than 54,000 people, is already full at this moment.

And when the Chelsea players showed up on the pitch to warm up, the whole stadium immediately burst into a uniform boo!

Thousands of Blues supporters tried to resist, but their cheers were immediately drowned out by the voices of Atletico fans.

However, such a battle is nothing for the current Chelsea main players.

After successfully completing the warm-up, they trotted back to the players' tunnel for the final pre-battle mobilization.

The live broadcast of matches in various countries has basically chosen to start in advance, so fans around the world quickly saw Simeone with a slightly dignified face under the live camera.

Today's big game doesn't look so friendly to Atletico.

They were a goal down at Chelsea's home ground in the first leg, so in the second leg they had to find a way to equalise first and try to prevent Chelsea from scoring again.

Otherwise, Chelsea will have to score three goals in a row to qualify.

The game was very difficult, and Simeone was inevitably feeling a little nervous at the moment.

In contrast, Mourinho, who was sitting in the coach's seat in advance at the moment, seemed very relaxed.

As the time of the game approached, the referees waved for the players of both teams to follow them onto the court.

The commentators from various countries immediately came to the spirit and seized the time to introduce the starters and formations of the two teams to the fans before the game.

Chelsea's side rotated well in the last round of the league and as a result, the well-rested key players will be able to continue to feature in this round of Champions League semi-finals.

Jose Mourinho still opted for a more secure 4231 starting formation today.

Starting goalkeeper Oblak.

The centre-back pairing remains Thiago Silvaga Maguire, left wing-back Cesar Azpilicueta and right wing-back Kieran Trippier.

In midfield, Kroos and Nemanja Matic were behind the pitch, with Leon up front, with Eden Hazard and Kevin De Bruyne on his left and right.

Suarez plays as a central striker.

In this game, Atletico Madrid, who urgently needed the first goal, put on a 433 starting formation that was biased towards attack at the beginning.

Carrasco, Diego Costa and Antoine Griezmann make up the forward trident.

In midfield, Koke and Saul teamed up to control the organisation, with Gabi dragging behind to defend.

Savage, who returned from injury in time, took off Jimenez and Godin to form a double centre-back, while the left and right wing-backs were still Felipe Luis and Juanfran in this game.

The starting goalkeeper was Thibaut Courtois.

Both Chelsea and Atletico Madrid have given up their entire pockets to fight for victory in this round of battle.

Compared to Chelsea, who have been resting more well, Atletico Madrid, who have been competing with Barcelona for the league title until now, are a little more tired.

However, Atletico Madrid is also an extremely tenacious team, and the Champions League has been played to this point, even if you grit your teeth and climb it, you have to work hard to climb into the final!

The Atletico generals who didn't seize the opportunity in the first round are burning with anger in their chests at the moment!

They will be eager to re-prove themselves to the cheers of the home fans and even more eager to beat the mighty Chelsea and reach this season's Champions League final with a hearty comeback.

So after the referee on duty blew the whistle for the start of the game, Atletico Madrid, who had the right to kick off, quickly spread out the formation and actively pressed forward towards Chelsea's half!

However, these Atletico players were soon surprised to discover:

Chelsea, who should have consolidated their defense first in this game, chose to go toe-to-toe with them uncharacteristically!

Gabi's attacking long ball from his own half was headed back by an aggressive Maguire.

Leon leaned on Koke with his back and put the ball on the top of Trippier on the wing.

Trippier, who was playing in his first Champions League semi-final, was not stage frightened, and at the moment he took the ball and pushed in from a receptive position down the middle, avoiding Felipe Luiz, who was about to intercept him.

And just as Gabi and Felipe Luiz were pressing him at almost the same time, he gave the ball to De Bruyne, who cut forward with ease!

The Belgian midfielder's brain just watched for a moment, and then got straight into the unconventional cross area to send the ball into the Atletico penalty area!

After the football smoothly crossed an adduction arc in the air, it went straight to Suarez, who ran forward at the back of the Atletico goal!

However, at this time, Suarez's side was still close to Savic, and he finally chose to head the ball after he was not able to attack the goal.

The Uruguayan striker's ability to play the ball is still quite good, the football flew to the middle of the Atletico Madrid penalty area, and at this moment, Leon, who was inserted in front of him, chose to volley again like a blast in the first leg!

The football whistled like a cannonball and flew towards the Atletico goal!

However, this time, Courtois, who had prepared in advance and had been paying attention to Leon, gritted his teeth and pounced, and stubbornly blocked Leon's powerful volley!

The football fell in the Atletico penalty area, and Godin also cleared the ball first and drove the football back to the midfield!

All the Atletico defenders were a little frightened at the moment, and Leon gritted his teeth and hugged his head for a moment of annoyance before encouraging his teammates to continue to put pressure on the Atletico defense!

Squatting for defense?

No!

Chelsea weren't going to be beaten today!

The knockout rounds of the Champions League are a stage for the brave.

It's normal for Atletico to be ashamed and brave.

And the team that dares to attack on the opponent's home field under great pressure is really brave!
