Liverpool defeated Bordeaux 3-1 at home. This result is still very good and Benitez is very satisfied.
In addition, Manchester United, which is also in the top half, also played the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals today. Manchester United played Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena away from home. Liverpool people are also paying close attention to this game because he also wants to
Do you know who their opponents will be in the next stage?
Manchester United's strength has indeed dropped significantly compared to last year, and it is actually outstanding to be able to reach this point this year. At the Allianz Arena, Manchester United was reversed by Bayern Munich after leading by one goal.
In the end, Manchester United lost to Bayern Munich 1 to 2 on the road. This result was quite good. They were not far behind Bayern Munich, and they also had an away goal. After returning to home, Manchester United had a chance to defeat Bayern Munich.
The next day, the other two quarter-finals also started. Inter Milan led by Mourinho defeated Russia's CSKA Moscow 1-0 at home. This result left Inter Milan fans somewhat dissatisfied.
of.
In the next round between the two sides, Inter Milan will go to Moscow to play. The weather there is not good. CSKA Moscow's home court can be said to be very devilish. Therefore, Inter Milan fans are still very worried.
However, Inter Milan's head coach Mourinho was not worried at all. He said after the game that he was very satisfied with the result of the game. After going to the away game, Inter Milan would still win. He was very
Have confidence.
There is another game where Arsenal of the Premier League plays against the defending champion Barcelona at their home court. Barcelona is also the favorite to win the UEFA Champions League this season, so everyone was not optimistic about Arsenal before the game.
The progress of the game was indeed as everyone imagined. There was indeed a gap between Arsenal and Barcelona, and it was still very big. Barcelona drew Arsenal 2-2 at the Emirates Stadium away from home. Arsenal spent a lot of time on this.
It took so much effort to barely achieve a draw.
Seeing such a result, the English media were very uncomfortable and even surprised. In the Premier League, three teams have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in consecutive years. Now it seems that this year is very uncertain. Arsenal is now
The chances are probably slim.
Manchester United still seems to have a chance, but the chance is not very big, probably around 50%. The only thing that reassures everyone is Liverpool. They now have one foot in the Champions League.
of the semi-finals.
To be honest, during the UEFA Champions League group stage, the English media would not have thought that Liverpool would be the team with the best chance of entering the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in this year's Premier League. Liverpool's results in the group stage were really very good.
How bad.
However, as soon as the Liverpool team entered the knockout round, they immediately changed into a team. God's block will kill the God, and Buddha's block will kill the Buddha. Even Bordeaux, the biggest dark horse, can't stop Liverpool's pace. The media in England believe that Liverpool will be the best team in the world.
One of the biggest title contenders in the UEFA Champions League this season.
However, after seeing that only one team in the Premier League, Liverpool, may advance to the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League this season, the English media is still in a bad mood.
The 3-1 victory over Bordeaux was the clearest match in the Champions League quarter-finals this season. In everyone's opinion, Bordeaux's dark horse career was about to end.
Although after the game, Bordeaux said that they would not make the same mistake again after returning home and that they could defeat Liverpool, many people were not optimistic about Bordeaux.
Qiu Ze was very satisfied with the result of this game. He seemed to have seen Liverpool advance to the semi-finals of this season's UEFA Champions League.
After the UEFA Champions League, Liverpool returns to the league. Over the weekend, Liverpool will play the 33rd round of the Premier League this season. Liverpool will play against Birmingham away from home, while Manchester United will play at home.
against Chelsea.
The highlight of this round is Manchester United playing against Chelsea. For Liverpool, of course they want Manchester United to defeat Chelsea with the help of their home court. This will widen the point difference between Liverpool and Chelsea.
.
Of course, Manchester United very much hopes to defeat Chelsea. Although they are still five points behind Liverpool, they believe that they can catch up and surpass Liverpool, provided that they must win the following games.
Every game.
Of course, Chelsea does not want to fall behind at this time. The gap between them and Liverpool is not big now. If they work harder, they will be able to catch up and surpass Liverpool. The championship is waving to them, and of course they will not give up.
Also, Arsenal will play Wolves at home in this round of games. Now Arsenal is actually out of the championship competition.
This round of competition is very important. Of course, Liverpool does not want to lose to Birmingham, and they also think they will not lose to Birmingham. However, Birmingham is now in a critical stage of life and death. Sometimes, the relegation team is more dangerous than giants like Manchester United.
Difficult to straighten.
The first match of this round was Manchester United's home game against Chelsea. Of course, Manchester United hoped to win the final victory at their home stadium, Old Trafford. They attacked fiercely from the beginning, but they took the lead.
The ball belongs to Chelsea.
Chelsea forward Didier Drogba scored the Manchester United goal with a kick from the front of the penalty area, which made Manchester United fans feel very uncomfortable.
However, at the beginning of the second half, Rooney also equalized the score with a kick. The Manchester United people were very excited. He thought that their chance to counterattack had come. However, at this time, Ferdinand made a mistake and his
An own goal ruined Manchester United's excellent form.
In the end, Manchester United had to lose bitterly to Chelsea at their home court, with a score of 1 to 2. This made Sir Alex Ferguson very angry. Manchester United had persisted all season, but they failed at the last and most critical moment.
I was very angry.
However, the result has come out, and there is no use in being angry anymore, right? Manchester United has no choice but to swallow the bitter fruit of its own making.
Seeing this result, the Liverpool players shook their heads. Manchester United was so incompetent, why couldn't they beat Chelsea? Damn it.
In addition, Arsenal played against Wolves at their home stadium, the Emirates Stadium. Although Arsenal had reservations, their performance was still very good. They defeated Wolves 1-0 at their home court and scored three points.
The next step is the Liverpool game. All the Premier League teams are watching this game now. Liverpool really hopes to win this game. Unfortunately, they encountered a strong blocker from Birmingham in the away game.
In the end, Liverpool managed to get a draw with Qiu Ze's goal at the last moment. They almost lost in Birmingham, one to one.
This result made Chelsea people very happy. They really caught up. This time, their Chelsea team once again had the same points as Liverpool. Although they were still ranked second in the standings due to the difference in victory and defeat. But there are still five games left in the league.
In this round of games, they are confident of catching up with Liverpool.
After the game, Benitez was very depressed. He really didn't expect that they would suffer such a big loss from Birmingham. Now the pressure on Liverpool will be very great. The hungry wolf of Chelsea is following.
Behind them, they are ready to kill the Liverpool team at any time.
Now that the Liverpool team still has the FA Cup and the UEFA Champions League, how can they have so much energy to focus on Chelsea? I don’t know when Chelsea pounced from behind and killed their Liverpool team.
This is really like a light on my back.
After the game, Benitez was furious in the dressing room, but he gave the Liverpool players a good scrub. The Liverpool players instantly knew what Sir Alex Ferguson's hair dryer was like.
To be honest, Qiu Ze was also very dissatisfied with the result of this game. It was due to his negligence in this game that Liverpool was overtaken by Chelsea. The following league games were a bit difficult for Liverpool.
You can't make any mistakes.
At the end of the 33rd round of the Premier League, Liverpool currently ranks first in the Premier League with 74 points. Chelsea also ranks second in the Premier League with 74 points. This is because of the relationship between victory and defeat.
Manchester United now has 68 points, ranking third in the Premier League. There is a six-point gap between Manchester United, Chelsea and Liverpool. After two rounds of games, Manchester United has almost no hope of winning the championship. Ranking
In fourth place is Arsenal. They currently have 67 points, only one point behind Manchester United.
In the end, the Premier League championship pattern is still so complicated. In the first two seasons, the competition for the Premier League title was equally fierce. Liverpool and Manchester United were always at odds with each other, and the winner could not be decided until the last moment.
This season is the same, except that the opponent is Chelsea. Chelsea replaced Manchester United and Liverpool this season, and now the points are the same. The championship will be very fierce.
But at this time, Liverpool has no mind to think about this. The next step is the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals. Liverpool has to think about the game against Bordeaux, while Chelsea is lightly equipped. They have nothing.
In the UEFA Champions League, they will focus more on the league, which is definitely not good news for Liverpool.
However, Chelsea is not without other considerations. They now also have to consider the weekend's English FA Cup semi-finals. They have entered the FA Cup semi-finals, and their opponents are not simple. Now they
League title rivals Liverpool.
The weekend league match between the two teams will be postponed to the middle of next week, and the FA Cup semi-finals will be played this weekend.
