Chapter 154 Entering the quarterfinals, the half-dead area is born
For the goal just now, Li Mingyu suddenly dribbled the ball to the left, which made Messi immediately understand Li Mingyu's intention.
So Messi's running position continued to pull to the right, making the distance between the two central defenders defending him farther and farther, and because the ball was on Li Mingyu's side, Romagnoli had to focus on Li Mingyu.
In this way, Romagnoli has almost no defense against Messi.
After seeing Li Mingyu rushing into the penalty area, Romagnoli felt a little relieved when he saw that Li Mingyu was blocked by Tomori and the goalkeeper from the angle of the shot.
What about Messi?
Such a question mark appeared in Romagnoli's heart!
When he looked at Messi, he was shocked to find that Messi had rushed towards the arc of the central penalty area at high speed.
Messi was going to meet Li Mingyu.
Romagnoli thought so, and he quickly moved over.
But Li Mingyu's elusive backheel pass made Romagnoli break out in a cold sweat.
It turned out that this was just a perfect cooperation between the two of them.
Li Mingyu attracted all the defenses, then passed back, and Messi scored easily.
The tacit cooperation of the two played the entire defense line of AC Milan in the palm of their hands.
With 15 minutes left, it is impossible to score another 6 goals based on AC Milan, a team that has been beaten and has no heart.
With the whistle of the referee, the game ended at 92 minutes and 00 seconds.
The score of 2:2 was maintained until the end, and neither side scored any more goals in the subsequent games.
The main reason is that AC Milan has no fighting spirit, and Barcelona has no need to provoke their opponents, anyway, they have already qualified.
In case they are angered, a malicious foul, AC Milan will act as a water ghost and pull people into the water, it is not impossible!
After the game, the Barcelona players celebrated wildly on the pitch.
Those who didn't know thought they won the Champions League!
The AC Milan players all left the stadium in a daze.
Koeman shook hands with Stefano Pioli very gentlemanly.
Stefano Pioli also congratulated Koeman very graciously.
Koeman couldn't help laughing as he watched the players celebrating passionately on the court.
Today's game was really thrilling.
In the first half, Koeman even had the illusion that today's game might be lost.
After all, Barcelona has a "glorious history" of being reversed in recent years.
Isn't 6 balls safe?
However, the final result showed that it was a false alarm.
Koeman looked at Li Mingyu and Messi who were talking and laughing on the court, and showed a gratified smile. As long as these two people were on the court, he felt very at ease.
Koeman remembered what Li Mingyu said during the intermission.
"Leave the second half of the game to me, and I will definitely lead everyone to bring the game back!"
These words restored Koeman's confidence.
As expected, Li Mingyu did it. As soon as the game started, Li Mingyu used exactly the same method as in the first round to bring the game back on track.
After this game, Barcelona became the third team to enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
A day later, the quarter-finals of the Champions League were all released.
Real Madrid eliminated the previous champion Liverpool 3:0.
Juventus eliminated Manchester United 2:1.
Barcelona eliminated AC Milan 8:2.
Bayern Munich eliminated Ajax 6:1.
Benfica eliminated Dortmund 1:0.
Inter Milan eliminated Atletico Madrid 2:0.
Paris Saint-Germain eliminated Leicester City 4:0.
Manchester City eliminated Red Star Belgrade 5:1.
Two places in La Liga, two places in Serie A, one place in Bundesliga, one place in Ligue [-], one place in the Premier League, and the last place was won by the Portuguese Super League.
2022年3月19日，在欧足联的总部，进行了2021-2022赛季欧冠四分之一决赛的抽签仪式。
After Chelsea won the championship in 2012, UEFA revised the draw rules and added a draw for the semi-finals after the quarter-finals and quarter-finals.
However, the draw for the semi-finals has now been cancelled.
In fact, it is also merged with the draw for the quarter-finals.
The draw for the quarter-finals not only had to draw out four teams, but also determined both the upper and lower halves by the way.
The matchup in the semi-finals is basically determined.
There are basically no restrictions on this lottery.
All avoidance is gone, under normal circumstances, Barcelona can meet any of the other seven teams.
The draw is still presided over by UEFA Secretary-General Marchetti.
This time the guest of the lottery was done by the famous German goalkeeper Oliver Kahn.
Kahn, as the main goalkeeper of Bayern Munich and the German team, his strength is absolutely beyond doubt.
In the 2002 Korea-Japan World Cup, although in the final final, the German team lost to the Brazil team with Ronaldo, Rivaldo and Ronaldinho, and missed the championship.
But in the final selection, Kahn relied on his own strength to win the Golden Globe Award.
This is also the first goalkeeper to win the Ballon d'Or in the World Cup.
Kahn is now a board member of Bayern Munich.
The 52-year-old Kahn has blond hair and looks gentle, and he doesn't see the hostility of Kahn the Lion King at all.
Marchetti introduced the draw rules for the quarter-finals.
The rules of this draw are very simple, the eight groups will be divided into two halves.
Draw lots in order. For each group, the team that is drawn first will be the host first and then the away team.
The top four teams are divided into the upper half.
The rules are simple, Marchetti signaled Kahn that the draw can begin.
In this draw ceremony, Koeman came with the manager of Barcelona. Messi and Li Mingyu did not come.
The exciting time has come.
Kahn casually took out a small ball from the large transparent plastic basin on the table.
After twisting it open, the name of a team came into everyone's eyes.
royal house Madrid.
The first team in Group A was born.
Immediately afterwards, Kahn put his hand into the large plastic basin again, stirred it, and took out a small ball.
All eyes were on Kahn's hand, to be precise, they were on the small ball in Kahn's hand.
Except for Benfica, this year's Champions League quarter-finals are all traditional strong teams, so this quarter-finals will definitely be very bloody.
When Kahn twisted the small ball, his hands seemed to shake a little, and he twisted it, but he didn't twist it away.
No way, do you mean?
Kahn took out a note from the small ball, and after opening it, a look of astonishment appeared on his face, but he could only show the note helplessly.
Bayern Munich.
It turned out that he had drawn his own team.
The first set of duels was born.
La Liga giants Real Madrid VS Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.
Fuck, is the first game so exciting?
For a while, the atmosphere in the audience became heated.
Representatives of many teams showed expressions of joy on their faces.
Because Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are definitely teams that no one wants to touch.
Real Madrid with Haaland and Bayern Munich with Lewandowski are simply two scoring machines.
However, Barcelona, which has not been drawn out, also has a more terrifying scoring machine!
Kahn's face was full of embarrassment. He didn't expect that he would draw such a strong team for his home team.
However, the next work will continue.
Kahn continued to draw lots.
This time, on the note he took out, it said, Juventus.
The Dead Half Zone was born.
In the entire upper half, the three drawn teams, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Juventus, are all well-known teams in their national leagues.
So, who will be the last team in the top half?
All eyes were once again on Kahn's hands.
Kahn took out a small ball from the large plastic basin, twisted it open, opened the note inside, and flashed it towards the camera.
Benfica!
The two matchups in the upper half have all come out.
Real Madrid VS Bayern Munich.
Juventus VS Benfica.
These four teams are desperately fighting for a place in the Champions League final.
The coaches and managers of the other four teams in the audience all looked dignified.
Because next are the four teams in the lower half.
Barcelona, Manchester City, Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain.
Originally thought that the upper half was the dead half, but after looking at the lineup of the lower half, this is the serious dead half.
Last season, these four teams were the champions of their respective leagues.
This kind of bottom half is rarely seen in the entire history of the Champions League.
Kahn drew the first team in the bottom half.
Barcelona.
The coaches of the other three teams all looked tense, and no one wanted to touch Barcelona at this time.
All eyes were on Kahn's hand.
Kahn drew Barcelona's opponents out, and the Inter Milan and Manchester City coaches revealed a hint of fluke.
Pochettino, head coach of Paris Saint-Germain, turned black.
Last season, Paris Saint-Germain lost its wings again in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
Last summer, in order to cut off Barcelona's thoughts, Paris Saint-Germain used a high salary of 3000 million to keep Neymar in Paris Saint-Germain again.
And Mbappé once again rejected Paris Saint-Germain's contract renewal.
This is the fourth time Mbappe has rejected Paris Saint-Germain.
For the younger Mbappé, his career is short of a Champions League and a European Cup.
But at Paris Saint-Germain, he sees no hope of winning the Champions League.
Therefore, this year is Mbappe's last year in Paris Saint-Germain. If he still cannot win the Champions League, then this summer, Mbappe will definitely leave Paris Saint-Germain.
Paris Saint-Germain has invested heavily in the transfer market over the years, but it is still only a breath away from the Champions League championship.
In the 2019-2020 season, the Paris Saint-Germain team entered the final of the Champions League for the first time in its history, and it is only a short distance away from its first Champions League trophy.
But facing the powerful Bayern Munich, the slightly immature Paris Saint-Germain wasted a lot of opportunities. In the end, Bayern Munich defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1:0 and won the Champions League.
That was also the closest Mbappe was to his dream, but in that game, Mbappe wasted several opportunities to score goals in the frontcourt. As a young man, he did not show his due strength in this critical game.
The loss of that game made Mbappe feel very frustrated.
In the UEFA Champions League in the 2020-2021 season, in the quarter-finals, Paris Saint-Germain met Atletico Madrid. As a result, in the two rounds of the match, Atletico Madrid reversed and won.
Mbappe is completely disappointed with Paris Saint-Germain.
Simply, he rejected Paris Saint-Germain's contract extension.
His contract expires in the summer of 2023. If he fails to win the Champions League this year, then in the summer of 2022, Mbappe will definitely leave Paris Saint-Germain.
Therefore, this round against Barcelona is a hurdle for Paris Saint-Germain.
If they can pass Barcelona, their momentum will be raised to an unprecedented state, and maybe this year they can get a glimpse of the Champions League trophy.
However, the Barcelona team, which has not entered the Champions League final in six or seven years, is determined to win this year's Champions League.
Therefore, this game is Mars hitting the Earth.
Messi, Li Mingyu vs Mbappé, Neymar.
Who is the strongest frontcourt duo now, this round of competition may be able to reveal.
The last group, Inter Milan VS Manchester City, Serie A and the Premier League.
As soon as the four matchups came out, the matchups that everyone wanted to see the most were judged on the Internet.
Unsurprisingly, the Barcelona VS Paris Saint-Germain game is everyone's favorite to watch.
After all, both sides have a pair of strong frontcourt combinations, and these two teams are also the top two teams in the Champions League this season.
The match between Barcelona VS Paris Saint-Germain will be held on April 4th and April 7th, with Barcelona playing first and then away.
However, looking at the time, what makes Barcelona a little headache is that the weekend league between these two weeks is the national derby between Barcelona and Real Madrid.
These three games are a very difficult 7 days for Barcelona.
Similarly, for Real Madrid, it is equally uncomfortable.
At present, Real Madrid is 4 points away from Barcelona. This national derby may be able to determine the champion of La Liga this season.
From these three brutal games, Barcelona still needs to conduct three league games and a Copa del Rey semi-final.
The first thing to do is the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey.
In the first round, Barcelona bloodbathed Sevilla 5-0 in the away game, basically declaring that one foot has entered the final of the Copa del Rey.
