Seeing Inter Milan's goal, Benitez showed a helpless smile. He knew that Liverpool's slim chance of creating a miracle was gone.
This conceded goal destroyed the last hope of a comeback for Benitez and Liverpool.
After Benitez had no choice but to accept this result, he was relieved. At this time, for him and Liverpool, there was only one goal left in this game: to play this game well, even if he falls, he must
Leave with pride and bring this season of UEFA Champions League to an end!
Under such circumstances, the content behind this game actually became very exciting.
Forty-one minutes into the game, Liverpool scored.
Alonso took the free kick and Torres beat Bonucci with a header.
"Gooooooooooaaaaaaal!"
"One to one! Liverpool equalized the score! Although this goal did not help them much in terms of the total score, the Liverpool people showed their tenacity in this game!"
Benitez applauded from the sidelines and cheered for his players.
On the other side, Li Ang shrugged. This goal cannot be said to be how bad Bonucci performed. It can only be said that Torres is too strong. Torres at this time, Torres in Liverpool, is definitely one of the best on the planet.
One of the forwards, this goal reflects the Spanish shooter's super offensive ability in front of the goal.
At the end of the first half, the score remained 1-1, with Balotelli and Torres scoring goals for Inter Milan and Liverpool respectively.
***********
After the second half of the game started, both sides played more openly.
In the 55th minute, Liverpool played a beautiful wing cooperation. Torres cruised to the wing and passed the ball to the goal. Kuyt's shot bounced on the ground, which made Chivu make a mistake when clearing the ball.
After a poke, it landed at Gerrard's feet, and the Liverpool captain succeeded in scoring an empty goal!
"Two to one! Liverpool surpassed the score! The English team showed great resilience!"
Li Ang immediately made substitution adjustments. Mata came on as a substitute, replacing Muntari, and Silva also returned to the right.
The effect of this substitution adjustment is immediate.
In the 61st minute, Inter Milan took advantage of a mistake in Liverpool's defense. Mata broke through from the center and sent a through ball. Facing the attacking goalkeeper Reina, Adriano dunked the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the goal.
,2:2!
Inter Milan equalized the score. At the same time, Inter Milan led Liverpool 7-3 in the total score and continued to maintain a four-goal lead!!!
Inter Milan quickly equalized the score, which was also a big blow to Liverpool's morale.
In the 73rd minute of the game, Inter Milan had a corner kick opportunity. Mata's corner kick went into the penalty area. Adriano beat Carragher and completed a beautiful lion head attack. The football hit the lower edge of the crossbar.
, and then bounced into the net!
"Goooooooooooooooooooaaaaaal!"
"Adriano! He is unstoppable in front of the goal!"
This goal also ignited the enthusiasm of Meazza Stadium again.
Li Ang applauded on the sidelines and applauded Adriano's outstanding performance. When the team is fighting on the third line, it is very crucial to have a stable center to score points.
After this goal, the rhythm of both sides slowly slowed down. On the one hand, Inter Milan led by five goals in total, and they also relaxed. Their offense was not as sharp and fast as before. On the other hand, Liverpool seemed to have finally been beaten by this goal.
After draining the last of my energy, I became a little confused.
In the end, neither Inter Milan nor Liverpool scored again. Inter Milan defeated Liverpool 3:2 at their home court. They eliminated their opponents with a total score of 8 to 3 and advanced to the quarterfinals!
Although Liverpool lost, they also showed a certain degree of enthusiasm at the Meazza Stadium. The most important thing was to avoid repeating the disastrous defeat at Anfield Stadium in the away game, which can be regarded as 'a defeat is an honor'.
***********
Inter Milan's elimination of Liverpool was not a surprise. After the 5-1 victory in the first round away game, no one thought that Inter Milan would miss the quarterfinals.
The performance of another Serie A team, Roma, can be said to be a surprise to the Italians.
In this game, Real Madrid lost 1-2 to Roma at the Bernabeu Stadium at home and was eliminated with a total score of 2-4. In the first half, Aquilani hit the goal post. In the second half, Baptista took a free kick and Roma substitute Wu
Cinic's shots were blocked by the goal frame. Real Madrid defender Pepe was sent off for a total of 2 yellow cards. After Tadei scored with a header, Raul immediately tied the score and increased his Champions League goal record to 61.
, the European war goal tied Inzaghi Vucinic, who scored 63 goals, with a header in stoppage time to seal the victory.
At the Bernabeu Stadium, Roma's victory was hard-won: Vucinic and Aquilani's shots were blocked by the goal frame; Perrotta and Taddei's shots were saved by the opponent's goalkeeper; the assistant referee made a serious mistake
The mistake resulted in Raul's "textbook" offside goal being valid, which allowed Real Madrid to even the score to 1-1, causing great trouble for Roma.
However, Roma were very mature and calm on this Bernabeu night. They were not disturbed by referee errors. After solid defense, Taddei and Vucinic became the arbiters of Real Madrid. Judging from the match in Madrid, Roma deserves this
A victory. Throughout the game, Roma showed their hunger and ferocity for victory.
Before the game, some remarks made by Real Madrid chairman Calderon and head coach Schuster seemed to anger the Romans. The chairman of Real Madrid said that his team is the best and it is impossible to even compete with Roma.
It's hard to pass. Schuster replaced Capello because of his wonderful football. Before the game, the German criticized Roma for "only being able to defend, and can only defend", but Roma had a "slight" advantage in the game!
After the game against Liverpool, Li Ang watched the video of the game between Real Madrid and Roma and studied the game. If he were asked to comment and analyze Real Madrid's exit, he would use one word: A proud soldier will lose!
The Spanish media asked Totti and Spalletti sharp questions the day before the game. Like scrutinizing "low-level people" who had just entered the city, Spanish reporters asked Totti how he felt at the great Bernabeu Stadium... facing
Bald coach Spalletti was expressionless when asked such a question, and Totti was already suppressing his anger. A Roman reporter accompanying the team said angrily in "Corriere dello Sport" that the Spaniard just asked the Italian after losing the ball.
How will you get out of the Bernabeu Stadium?
"It's just that the Spanish people's good mood can only last until the game..." - "Corriere dello Sport" mocked the Real Madrid people after the game.
***********
Inter Milan and Roma joined hands to advance to the quarterfinals of this season's UEFA Champions League, which made the Italian media overjoyed. In the words of Gazzetta dello Sport, now it depends on AC Milan.
Because the match between Inter Milan and Liverpool was played at the Meazza Stadium at home, and the match between AC Milan and Arsenal was also at the San Siro at home, which is actually the same stadium, so the second round of the match between AC Milan and Arsenal was
The game was postponed to a week later...
In his personal column, Inter Milan head coach Li Ang "kindly" reminded AC Milan to be careful about Arsenal.
This aroused strong dissatisfaction from AC Milan. Galliani, the vice president of AC Milan club, criticized Li Ang for his sinister intentions. This person wanted to see AC Milan eliminated. He strongly criticized Li Ang’s position: AC Milan is for Serie A.
As for the competition, Milan has European competition DNA. For Italian football to win glory in Europe, it depends on the Rossoneri.
When Li Ang was interviewed by the media later, he looked innocent, "I really mean well, Arsenal is really strong, they really have to be careful, especially Adebayor"...
"At this moment, my heart is with AC Milan, because we both represent Serie A." The head coach of Inter Milan said with a serious face.
