Chapter 766 Ancelotti's Conundrum
With Yang Mo's two shots and one pass, Manchester City won the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
In this matchup of local tyrants in the top European leagues, they once again had the last laugh.
In fact, every time Paris meets Manchester City, seeing Yang Mo domineering in their half, it feels very uncomfortable.
If I had known that I paid more money to take Yang Mo down, I would have everything now.
However, Manchester City's victory was uneventful. After the game, the reports about the victory were not as many as Yang Mo's 99 cumulative Champions League goals, but the other quarter-finals of the Champions League that ended one after another seemed much more lively.
The first La Liga civil war between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid at home was quite fierce.
Facing their old opponents in the league, the defending champion Barcelona almost overturned at home at Camp Nou.
In the 25th minute of the first half, Torres opened the scoring with Wu Lei's pass.
After the goal, Atletico Madrid fought fiercely on the field, and the MSN team lost their temper.
However, this fierce competition also caused Atletico Madrid a huge dilemma.
After scoring the goal from Atletico Madrid, in just 10 minutes, Atletico Madrid received three yellow cards in a row.
One for Cork and two for Torres.
It directly led to Torres being sent off in 35 minutes of the first half because two yellows turned one red, and Atletico Madrid had to face one less player.
But even so, Barcelona did not score a goal in the first half.
When the game entered the second half, the game situation became more intense.
Throughout the second half, Barcelona received three yellow cards, while Atletico received five.
In other words, after the whole game, the referee showed a total of 11 yellow cards and 1 red card.
But even so, Atletico Madrid, who fought with few players, failed to hold the score in the end. Suarez showed his prowess from 63 minutes onwards, scoring two goals in 10 minutes, helping Barcelona overtake the score.
In the end, this extremely fierce score ended with 2-1.
Who will have the last laugh in this La Liga civil war can only be known at the Calderon Stadium in the next round.
However, Torres' red card is destined to be absent, and an away goal from Atletico Madrid has added countless suspense to this game.
Barcelona played exhausted, and the other La Liga team was even more uncomfortable.
Real Madrid.
Under the leadership of Qi Zu, Real Madrid, who are getting better and better, played their first away game against Benfica. As a result, they were dizzy by the Portuguese Eagles 2-0 and lost in an upset.
Although the next game will be back to the Bernabeu, the situation of falling behind by two goals still makes everyone worried about Real Madrid.
As for the last Juventus, they beat Leverkusen 1-0 at home. The advantage is not obvious. Whether they can advance depends on the second round.
Because the Premier League has lost its suspense two months in advance, and the championship was taken away by Manchester City in advance, everyone can only care about who can enter the European theater.
Therefore, the Chinese fans who mainly care about Yang Mo have their eyes on the Champions League, and are waiting for when Yang Mo can score a goal in the Champions League.
As a result, in the 33rd round of the Premier League, no one cared about Manchester City's league game against West Bromwich Albion.
Well, at home, Manchester City, who were welcomed by West Bromwich Albion, kicked the opponent 2-0 very shamelessly.
Yang Mo scored a goal, refreshing his league goals to 33 goals, and also let Manchester City come to 32 games this season, and the league's total winning streak reached an unprecedented 37 games.
In the case of one less game, Manchester City is still 6 games away from winning the championship.
After the end of the "indifferent" league, Manchester City soon ushered in the second round of the Champions League against Paris at home.
With the total score behind by two goals, Paris fought desperately.
But it is a pity that in the face of Manchester City's strong midfield strength, they failed to create miracles in the end.
1-0.
A very ordinary score, but it helped Manchester City eliminate Paris with a total score of 4-1 and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League.
As the only seedling left in the Premier League, Manchester City's easy promotion performance won the praise of the British media.
The elites of Fleet Street directly shouted the slogan of Manchester City winning the championship.
But this time the British media can't be blamed, it's all because of the Champions League quarter-finals, and other Champions League opponents don't seem so reliable.
The first is Real Madrid, which was blasted and defeated in the first half.
Just when everyone thought it would be difficult to play in the second half at home, the performance of other Real Madrid players was indeed mediocre.
But helplessly, the poor Portuguese eagle Benfica was sent back to his hometown by his country's superstar Ronaldo.
Cristiano Ronaldo broke out completely in this game. He scored twice in the first half and capped in the second half. With his own strength, he helped Real Madrid make a comeback and advance to the semi-finals 3-2.
Such a performance made countless Portuguese fans watching the game feel mixed, and they didn't know what to say.
Let's brag, this is a team that eliminated its own league.
Scold, this is Ronaldo, the first Portuguese brother, in such a good state, the European Cup in summer is very beautiful.
Therefore, Portuguese fans are very tangled.
After the game, all the media was full of news about Ronaldo.
Some ridiculed the Portuguese for sending the Portuguese team home, and some praised Ronaldo as a god.
Three goals also allowed Ronaldo to overtake the Champions League scorer list, and once again put Yang Mo under him.
Many people think that if Real Madrid can win the Champions League this season, then Ronaldo is likely to win the FIFA Ballon d'Or.
Many media also interviewed Yang Mo about this game.
Yang Mo naturally also watched the back defense of this game. After all, Real Madrid is likely to become their opponent in the Champions League.
So in the face of media interviews, he didn't say anything false, and said directly.
"Cristiano Ronaldo's performance is amazing. Although I don't want to meet an opponent like him in the Champions League, I have to say that it is only interesting to play against such an opponent."
What is an international star.
This is Yang Mo.
I admit that you are very good, but I am not bad, everyone else is a rookie, it is interesting to play with you.
And UEFA seems to have heard Yang Mo's voice.
Semi-final draw, Manchester City VS Real Madrid.
It was another super showdown that was not the final, but was better than the final.
So much so that after the lottery came out, no one paid attention to the other semi-final.
After all, how could Atletico Madrid play Leverkusen better than Manchester City playing Real Madrid.
One is the Blue Moon Dynasty under the leadership of the Great Demon King, and the other is the super wealthy family under the leadership of Ronaldo.
It would be interesting if Barcelona played Juventus.
Unfortunately, after Barcelona led 2-1 at home, they went to Calderin in the second half and were overthrown by Atletico Madrid without Torres 2-0.
In this game, Griezmann showed his prowess and scored twice, completely overshadowing the limelight of the MSN combination.
And one of the two goals was assisted by Wu Lei.
Contributed two assists in the two rounds. Although he did not score, Wu Lei's performance in the quarter-finals is worthy of recognition.
After Atletico Madrid's promotion, domestic fans are looking forward to it. Once Manchester City defeats Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid defeats Leverkusen, there will be a duel between two Chinese in the Champions League final.
Oh, forgot to mention the other Juventus who were eliminated in the quarterfinals.
The old woman suffered the same comeback tragedy as Barcelona. She was defeated by two goals at home in Leverkusen and was helplessly out.
Once the UEFA Champions League semi-finals are drawn, it can be said that the 15/16 European competition has come to an end.
However, before facing Real Madrid, Manchester City still has three league games to solve.
Due to the need to make up for the previous few games, Manchester City's schedule in mid-to-late April is not easy at all.
In the 34th round against Chelsea, there will be a make-up match only three days after the game, away against Newcastle.
These two opponents are not easy to deal with, especially Chelsea led by Hiddink, who performed very strongly in the second half of the league.
After playing these two rivals, there is another three days interval, and Manchester City will usher in the 35th round of the league against Stoke City.
Although this is not a strong enemy, after the league match with Stoke City, it will be the first round of the Champions League semi-final.
Facing the powerful Real Madrid, Ancelotti must choose between the league and the Champions League.
Or go all out in the league against Chelsea, Newcastle, and Stoke City in order to keep the title of winning the championship.
Either for the Champions League, the rotation will be carried out in advance, and it will be safe to prepare for Real Madrid.
This has become a problem that Ancelotti urgently needs to solve now.
You must know that after a whole season, all Manchester City players are already very tired.
Kompany is still injured, and there are still several main players with minor injuries. If there is another injury reduction in these three games, it will be difficult to say against Real Madrid.
