On the day they returned to London from Paris, Hazard and Marcos Alonso, who were injured during the game, were both admitted to the hospital for examination.

The results of the inspection are neither good nor bad.

Hazard strained the soleus muscle in the back of his calf and is expected to recuperate for a month.

Marcos Alonso suffered a hamstring injury in his thigh and will need to rest for three weeks.

To say "not good" is of course because their injuries mean that they will definitely not be able to play in the second round against Paris Saint-Germain, and Chelsea's formation will be affected to a certain extent.

The reason for saying "not bad" is that the injuries they suffered were not particularly serious, and they were good men again after a month!

Now Chelsea only has Premier League and Champions League games. The Premier League crown is already within easy reach. As for the Champions League, the score of 4-2 against Paris Saint-Germain in the first round also minimized the impact of the two's absence.

After all, with a two-goal lead in the away game and four away goals in hand, it would be too difficult for PSG to make a comeback at Stamford Bridge.

Not to mention that Paris also lost its offensive core Ibrahimovic!

Therefore, in the eyes of many people, Chelsea has actually locked a place in the top eight in advance.

Of course, the only one that really dares to say that they have advanced is Bayern Munich.

They swept Shakhtar Donetsk 7:0! The Ukrainians were treated to a bottle of Seven Up.

By the way, there are a lot of teams drinking 7-Up lately...

If such a huge disparity in the score can still be overturned, then King Nan will not have to mess around in the arena.

Arsenal was slightly surprised to lose 1:3 at home to Monaco.

Of course, this Monaco team is actually full of famous players.

They have Berbatov, Moutinho, Kondogbia, Fabinho, Subasic, Carrasco, Kurzawa...etc.

There is even Henry’s future successor, Martial, who has not yet grown into the “horse factory director”!

Therefore, Arsenal's loss to them is indeed not particularly unfair.

There were no major surprises in the other games.

Basel 1:1 Porto.

Schalke 04 lost to Real Madrid 0:2.

Manchester City lost to Barcelona at home, the score was 1:2.

Juventus narrowly defeated Dortmund 2:1.

Hamburg defeated Atletico Madrid 1:0. Wu Lei scored the only goal of the game and took the lead.

For the British media, of course they are more concerned about the performance of the English team in the game.

Among them, Chelsea, which defeated the powerful Paris Saint-Germain 4:2 in an away game and almost advanced to the quarterfinals in advance, was naturally highly praised.

Chelsea, led by Pan Yi, is the only team in the five major leagues to maintain an unbeaten record so far, and it is also the team with the highest points!

Their results are very stable and their lineup is quite complete. This makes no one doubt that Chelsea will be the strongest contender for the Champions League trophy this season.

More importantly, Pan Yi has always performed very stably in important games, and his performance in the Champions League during his coaching career has proven this.

Then, with Chelsea as a backdrop, Manchester City and Arsenal, who lost the first round, were inevitably criticized verbally and verbally at the "meeting".

"Pellegrini and Wenger simply cannot make their team compete with the European powers."

"England still has to rely on Chelsea to earn points in Europe!"

"If you want to fight against Huang Saren, you still have to look at Chelsea!"

Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​and Bayern are the three strongest, best and most stable teams in European football today.

Chelsea also relied on its own performance to insert itself into the top three and became the "Samalanqi" top four.

In this year's latest Champions League winning odds, these four teams are also leading by a cliff.

For Pan Yi and his Chelsea, the focus of their research in the next game is of course the three teams of Huang Saren.

Especially Real Madrid with BBC and Barcelona with MSN.

Now the lineups of these two teams have really become perfect.

Real Madrid has assembled the three midfielders of BBC and Ceremony, as well as new World Cup stars like Ronaldo, and the backcourt also includes Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, Carvajal, Pepe, Casillas...

All of them are top stars in the world.

Barcelona's MSN and Habaib can also compete for the best striker combination and midfield combination in history. They also still have Rakitic, Pedro, Alba, Mascherano, Pique, and Alba.

Weiss, Ter Stegen and other stars.

How should I put it? It's almost an all-star lineup.

When facing such a team, even the current Chelsea team really can't guarantee that they can win.

Therefore, Pan Yi and his coaching team still need to prepare in advance.

Of course, this is not particularly difficult for Pan Yi.

In addition to conducting more detailed research on the tactics of these coaches in the system, he also sent a technical team to watch the latest games of these teams, and then summarized them into tactical reports and fed back.

Then compare the two sides to see if there is any deviation from "history", and then Pan Yi will make certain corrections.

Now is the intelligence gathering stage for the technical team, so there is no need for Pan Yi to start work in a hurry.

After all, it’s still too late to wait for each round of opponents to come out before polishing it carefully!——

February 21, the twenty-sixth round of the Premier League.

Chelsea faced the challenge of Burnley at Stamford Bridge.

Since it was the second game in three days, Pan Yi rotated the team's starting lineup, but Chelsea, playing at home, still firmly grasped the initiative of the game from the beginning.

But it was Burnley who shot first, relying on a counterattack in the sixth minute to get a chance to score.

Chelsea waited until the 30th minute when Willian reached the left rib and received a direct pass from Chick, then turned and passed diagonally to Bamford in the middle.

At this time, the opponent's two central defenders made mistakes when they surrounded Bamford. Bamford took advantage of the situation and directly volleyed the ball with his left foot and sent the ball into Burnley's goal.

After that, both sides played more patiently. Chelsea firmly controlled the ball and had a very high success rate of passing and receiving. Burnley retreated across the board. It was not until both sides entered the second half that Chelsea once again launched a threatening offensive.

In the 70th minute, Mikel made a cross. After Cancelo broke through from the left, he passed the ball calmly without any defense. Lingard volleyed from the back point and scored, rewriting the score to 2-0.

This is also the third consecutive game that Lingard has scored!

This score was ultimately maintained until the end of the game.

Lingard kept scoring goals, but Manchester United lost again.

They lost to Swansea 1:2 away from home.

Although Manchester United took the lead in the 28th minute thanks to Herrera's goal, Ki Sung-yung and Gomi helped Swansea take the lead.

Such a contrast makes Manchester United fans not know how to complain.

After all, when Lingard didn't play well in a game at Manchester United, the people who criticized him the most were the Manchester United fans...

Other key games are Crystal Palace 1:2 Arsenal, Tottenham 2:2 West Ham United, and Southampton 0:2 Liverpool.

Manchester City defeated Newcastle United 5-0 at home.

Therefore, after this round, Chelsea still tops the list with an impressive score of 25 wins, 1 draw and 76 points, and is far ahead.

In second place is Manchester City with 55 points, followed by Arsenal with 48 points and Manchester United with 47 points.

After that are Southampton, Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham United.

With a full 21-point lead, it has become a foregone conclusion that Chelsea will win the championship in advance. The biggest suspense is how long Manchester City can chase, or how big the final gap between first and second place will be.

But this so-called "suspense" was quickly "revealed" in the next 27th round.

Chelsea defeated West Ham United 1:0 in an away game, achieving an economical victory and taking all three points.

Manchester City was defeated in a strong dialogue.

At Anfield, Liverpool defeated Manchester City 2:1 with goals from Henderson and Coutinho!

This result also widened the points gap between Chelsea and Manchester City to a terrifying 24 points!

Taking into account Chelsea's equally terrifying goal difference advantage, the media have said that Chelsea is likely to win the championship in advance in March!

And this will also make Chelsea the first team to win the Premier League title in history!

However, it is actually a bit difficult to achieve this goal.

Due to the Champions League and international matches, there are not enough Premier League games scheduled in March, which prevents Chelsea from gaining enough points.

After playing against West Ham United, Chelsea will return to Stamford Bridge for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 knockout round.

At this time, their opponent Paris Saint-Germain was having a bit of a bad year.

In the past few rounds of Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain first drew with Lyon, the biggest competitor in the league, 1:1, then tied with Caen 2:2, and tied with Monaco 0:0...

As a result, after the 28th round of Ligue 1, their leading position was no longer guaranteed!

At this time, Lyon was ranked first in the Ligue 1 standings with 17 wins, 6 draws, 5 losses and 57 points.

Although Paris Saint-Germain only lost two games, due to too many draws, it could only accumulate 56 points with 15 wins, 11 draws and 2 losses, ranking behind Lyon by one point.
