"The Premier League crash? This is the funniest joke I've ever heard today.∈◆,"

In the restaurant at Melwood Training Base, Gerald shook the newspaper casually and seemed disdainful.

The Liverpool generals laughed and left it behind.

They are now 9 points ahead of their competitors and have a high probability of winning the league championship this season.

Before going to the Bernabeu in the next round, they will also play all their main players at home to face Blackburn to ensure that they can score a three-pointer.

The last Premier League match at the end of February, the 28th round of the Premier League arrived as scheduled.

Manchester United debuted at Old Trafford, and Ferguson's team successfully sent away East London team West Ham United with a 3-0 win.

The Blues Chelsea, who appeared immediately afterwards, were shocking. In the match against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge, not only were they sent off, but they were also defeated by Manchester City 2:4 at home!

Liverpool welcomes Blackburn, the middle-ranked rankings at Anfield.

Koeman sent an energetic main lineup after resting.

The game entered the rhythm of Liverpool's victory from the beginning. Less than 10 minutes into the opening, Qin Xiong shot from the outside and made a long shot to save Blackburn goalkeeper. Torres made a follow-up shot in the penalty area and sent the ball into the lower left corner of the goal, helping the team open the first record.

Before the end of the first half, Johnson assisted the cross from the wing and jumped into the back point of the penalty area. Qin Xiong, who was ambushing there, jumped to the top to expand the score to 2:0.

Although Liverpool converged in the second half, Blackburn, who tried to equalize the score, exposed more loopholes in the defense to Liverpool.

Torres seized the opportunity to counterattack successfully and scored in one shot. Gerald responded to Qin Xiong's cross-border pass from the side and locked the score at 4:0.

In the 28th round of the Premier League, Liverpool scored all three points.

With 10 rounds left in the Premier League, Liverpool led Manchester United by 9 points and 12 points ahead of Chelsea!

Hope to win the championship is rising sharply.

Liverpool has begun to enter the agenda for preparing for the battle at the Bernabeu.

Before that, in the weekend league, that is, the 29th round of the Premier League, Koeman did not intend to consume the main lineup. It was dangerous to go to the Bernabeu, and he needed the team to maintain sufficient energy!

On March 7, in the 29th round of the Premier League, all three teams competed for the championship were away.

Manchester United challenged Wolves away and defeated their opponent 1:0.

Chelsea challenged Portsmouth away, 5:0 to wipe out his opponent's resentment.

Liverpool challenged the relegation team Wigan Athletic away. After 90 minutes, the score was 1:0.

The home team is in front and the away team is in back.

Liverpool lost away!

In this way, Liverpool has narrowed the points gap by direct competitors in this round.

The gap between Manchester United and Liverpool has been shortened to 6 points, while the gap between Chelsea has been shortened to 9 points.

After the game, Koeman said: "There is no team that does not lose. Liverpool's defeat is just right now. It is always more pressure and blow than the pressure and blow that we will lose again a month later. Now we must first focus on the Champions League knockout stage. After the Premier League arrives next weekend, let's see if Liverpool will be affected by this loss."

Liverpool embarks on the journey to Madrid, Spain.

On March 9, Liverpool airborne Madrid.

As Liverpool players walked out of the airport, countless Madrid reporters flocked to take photos, most of whom were focusing on Qin Xiong.

"Qin Xiong, how is it like returning to Madrid?"

"What would you do in the Bernabeu?"

"One day in the future, will you play for Real Madrid again?"

Qin Xiong turned a deaf ear to the questions from reporters on both sides of the surrounding area. He bravely boarded the bus with his teammates and headed to the hotel where he was staying.

The scenery along the way was still so familiar. Qin Xiong took a look back after watching it for a while.

Torres asked, "Have you ever thought about when you will go to the Bernabeu again?"

Qin Xiong raised his head and thoughtful, then turned to Torres and said, "I thought about it, this season."

Torres looked surprised and asked back: "You left Real Madrid last summer and thought about fighting against Real Madrid this season? How much do you hate Real Madrid and hope to be enemies with Real Madrid!"

Qin Xiong grinned and said, "It has nothing to do with Real Madrid. I just remember that the Champions League final this season will be held at the Bernabeu, so you asked me when I will come to the Bernabeu again. I thought, in the Champions League final this season, it seems that now, it is a few months ahead of that."

Torres thought about it and then suddenly realized.

Yes, the Champions League final this season is held at the Bernabeu.

Because of this, Real Madrid Club is under even greater pressure.

Everyone hopes that Real Madrid can become a member of the Champions League final this season and then win the championship trophy at home.

It’s a pity that the situation in Real Madrid is in danger just as we arrived at the 1/8 final.

At the pre-Chapter press conference, Pellegrini firmly stated: "We have made sufficient preparations for this game. Real Madrid will play at a higher level at the Bernabeu to beat Liverpool. I am very happy that the players in the team are in good shape and there is no major injury absent. Now we can't wait for the game to begin."

Real Madrid seems to be particularly excited and has a strong desire to fight.

Liverpool seems much more cautious.

Koeman's attitude in front of the media is very modest, which is probably related to Liverpool's loss in the Premier League before coming. It is better to be low-key at this time.

"It is our honor to be able to come to the great stadium at the Bernabeu. Real Madrid, as the host here, will definitely do its best to put pressure on us tomorrow night's game. Although Liverpool is now leading the score, if we cannot face the game calmly, we may eventually leave Madrid disappointed. I don't want that to happen. These days I have been telling the players: Forget the score in the first leg! Only by forgetting the advantage can we work hard to get more in the second leg, showing courage and willpower to fight. I am looking forward to tomorrow night's game, and Liverpool is ready to fight."

Liverpool may not only be prepared for the battle, but also be prepared to make waves in the Bernabeu!

On the evening of March 11, Qin Xiong was preparing for the competition with a smile on his lips. Whether it was a meal or a simple warm-up training, he looked very happy and positive.

When the whole team arrived at the Bernabeu by bus, Qin Xiong's eyes seemed to be bright.

He was not like the child who had come to the Bernabeu for the first time and was looking forward to it. He was more like he was full of surprises about returning to the Bernabeu.
