In early February, the high-profile Champions League knockout round officially began the first leg of the competition; In mid-March, the second round also went ahead as scheduled.

In the respective showdowns of the top four in La Liga, many strong dialogues made the audience very enjoyable.

Real Madrid vs. Manchester United and Barcelona vs. Milan are among the most eye-catching matches.

At Old Trafford and the Bernabeu, Real Madrid and Manchester United gave their fans two exciting matches.

Ferguson's best fast attack, Mourinho's very good fast counterattack, the two collided, and sparks flowed.

From the first minute, the game went into a fast-paced contest. These two teams have met a lot in history, and the coaches of the two teams used to be old rivals in the Premier League, the players are familiar with the coaches, there is no secret to such a game, just do it!

On Real Madrid's side, the combination of Ronaldo, Benzema, and Di Maria is comprehensive; As for Manchester United, the combination of Wayne Rooney, Dong Fangzhuo and Yu Hai is full of momentum.

In the first half of the first leg, the old friends of Wayne Rooney and Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice each, and the two teams drew 2-2.

In the second half, Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes combined to score a goal, and Alonso and Luka Modric responded with a brilliant one-two close-range volley. These four former Premier League midfield rivals are facing Mai Mang today.

In the end, the first leg was tied at the Bernabeu 3-3.

In the second leg, Cristiano Ronaldo, who returned to Old Trafford, was in great form, although Dong Fangzhuo and Yu Hai helped Manchester United lead 2-0 at home in the first half, but in the second half, Ronaldo scored a hat-trick with his head and feet to help the team win Manchester United 3-2.

After the goal, Ronaldo folded his hands and apologized to his beloved stadium, but for other Real Madrid players and fans, it was too cool to step on Manchester United's corpse to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Real Madrid's promotion was difficult, and Barcelona's challenges were enormous.

The departures of Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva have caused Milan, which was still aiming to win the title last season, to a serious decline in form this season.

Coupled with the departure of a number of veterans such as Inzaghi, Gattuso, Nesta, and Seedorf, it is very difficult for Milan to fall into a transitional period.

Despite this, they still have a huge experience and psychological advantage in the Champions League.

At the back, Mexes has been in great form this season, and goalkeeper Abbiati has also played steadily; The Italian national team-level combination of Ambrosini, Montolivo and Nocerino in the middle is well-rounded; And up front is the talented combination of Balotelli, Robinho and El Shaarawy, which is also extremely impactful.

The first leg was tied at the Camp Nou in a 1-1 draw, with talented striker Balotelli netting the only goal for Milan and Gerard Pique equalising from a corner.

However, in this game, Messi, the soul of Barcelona, was absent due to injury, and Milan's Huaguo No. 10 Zheng Zhi also missed the game due to a cold.

The second leg returned to the San Siro with a full line-up.

This time Messi became the dominant figure in the game, perhaps stimulated by Ronaldo's hat trick, Messi scored a hat trick in the first half, directly fixing the score to 3-0, and Barcelona promotion is in sight!

However, Zheng Zhi, who returned from injury in the second half, came off the bench, he shot two shots and one pass, and scored three goals alone to help Milan equalize the score to 3-3!

Mr. Key in Milan, once again saved the team!

However, it is a pity that in the end, this score still could not send Milan to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, because of the disadvantage of away goals, Milan people can only watch Barcelona advance in danger.

However, after the game, Messi took the initiative to find Zheng Zhi and exchanged jerseys with the captain of Huaguo.

"Man, your performance in this game is great, in recent seasons, the performance of the Chinese players has been really amazing," Messi shrugged self-deprecatingly, "Take this season as an example, there are already several Chinese players who have scored the Barcelona goal." ”

Zheng Zhi frowned: "I'm very happy to be able to get your praise." But in terms of my personal performance, I want the team to win, and the team win is the most important thing. ”

Holding Zheng Zhi's Milan No. 10 jersey and watching Zheng Zhi walk to the pitch to comfort Balotelli's back, Messi suddenly had a special feeling.

This Huaguo captain does have the temperament of a captain, he just defended fiercely on the court and let himself go twice, but as soon as the game ended, he was quiet and peaceful as if nothing had happened, even if he was in a bad mood, he went to comfort his teammates as soon as possible.

We're going to have a lot of chances to play each other in the future, maybe not just in the Champions League......

Real Madrid and Barcelona both qualified, while another La Liga side, Valencia, also got through the cracks.

Their opponent is Porto, and although they are not a team in the top five leagues, they are definitely not to be underestimated.

In the end, Valencia eliminated the only seed of the Portuguese Super League with a total score of 3-2 over two legs, and followed in the footsteps of Real Madrid and Barcelona to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

However, the other La Liga team is not so smooth, Atletico Madrid's opponent is Grand Paris, this season Grand Paris recruits and spends a lot of money, there is Thiago Silva in the defensive line, Ravic and Lucas Jr. on the offensive line, especially their most relied on center Ibrahimovic, who has become the focus of both games.

In the two legs, Paris won two games 2-1 and reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League with an aggregate score of 4-2.

Ibrahimovic is the brightest star in the audience.

Although Atletico also played well, they still failed to advance under the extraordinary performance of Big Ibrahimovic.

It is worth mentioning that shortly after the start of the second leg, Zhao Churi used a world wave to help the team lead 1-0, which once gave Atletico Madrid fans hope of a comeback, but in the end their hopes were disappointed.

La Liga semi-finals advanced to the third team, and this time the performance was outstanding. And the promotion rate of the Bundesliga is not small.

Borussia Dortmund beat Shakhtar lightly, and the aggregate score of the two legs was 6-1, and the soldiers were bloodless.

Schalke 04 played Galatasaray with a two-legged aggregate score of 4-3, and the two matches were evenly matched.

After winning 2-1 in the first leg, Schalke 04 almost fell to Galatasaray's Devil's home stadium in the second leg.

In the first half, the Turkish powerhouse got a 2-0 advantage, and the aggregate score was 3-2, and Schalke 04 came to the brink of elimination.

However, in the second half, Schalke 04 played a wave of highly efficient attacks, and soon after the opening, Hao Junmin used a scalpel-like direct pass to accurately find Huntelaar, and the Dutch center forward shot vigorously on the edge of the penalty area to pull a goal back!

2 to 1! The two teams are back on the same page!

In the 81st minute of the game, Hao Junmin once again showed his might.

He took a direct free-kick from outside the box into the top right corner of the net!

2 to 2! Huaguo No. 7 helped the team equalize!

Schalke 04 now not only lead by one goal on aggregate, but also dominate away goals, and if their opponents want to progress, they will have to score twice in the next ten minutes.

Schalke 04 certainly won't give their opponents such a chance.

The last ten minutes were very hot, and the two teams each ate one red and two yellow, but in the end Schalke 04 still had the last laugh.

The biggest contributor to Schalke 04's promotion is Hao Junmin, and Zheng Zhi, Zhao Churi, Dong Fangzhuo, Yu Hai and other Chinese players also have excellent performances.

Although the performances in these games were excellent, the games in which the Chinese players really shined in Europe were in other games......
