The media was right.
The previous record for goals scored in the entire Champions League season was only twelve.
What now?
The knockout rounds of the top 16 are over.
Ye Luo entered seventeen.
Messi scored fourteen.
The extent of this involution has fans hooked.
In fact, Guardiola should thank Yello.
Because of Ye Luo's existence.
Messi's fighting spirit is unprecedentedly high.
Facing a strong enemy like AC Milan.
Messi scored and passed as Barcelona defeated AC Milan 2-0 away and advanced to the quarterfinals with a total score of 3-1.
Because the Barcelona game is played one day before the game between Arsenal and Real Madrid.
So after this game is over.
The Catalan media are still excited.
I think the game between Arsenal and Real Madrid is like a snipe-clam battle between Yello and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Of course.
The Catalans rarely stand on a Spanish standpoint and support a group of Real Madrid.
Because they feel that the biggest threat now is Ye Luo.
After all, Ye Luo is ahead of Messi.
So they rarely support Real Madrid.
The results of it?
Messi finally managed to close the gap with Yello to one goal.
Four more balls were immediately pulled away.
For Messi.
Whether Real Madrid or Arsenal are eliminated, it is a good thing for Messi.
But Messi still prefers Arsenal to be eliminated.
In this way, he can overtake Ye Luo in the scorer list.
But I didn't expect that Arsenal would advance in the end.
Ye Luo even performed a hat trick in the game.
This reality makes Messi a little uncomfortable.
In training.
Barcelona players can feel Messi's fighting spirit.
Guardiola is delighted.
There used to be the same Cristiano Ronaldo competing with Messi.
And now another Ye Luo appears.
He puts more pressure on Messi!
This also means that Messi will work harder.
He will squeeze out his state even more.
And Messi is in better shape.
Barcelona can certainly be in better shape.
This is certainly good for Barcelona.
For Arsenal reaching the quarterfinals.
In fact, Mourinho is also very happy.
Because he has not given up his ambition to win the championship.
Although the initiative is not in Manchester United's hands now.
But now Arsenal has to fight on four fronts in this situation.
Mourinho is waiting for the day Arsenal collapses.
Mourinho doesn't think Arsenal can continue to win with their remaining lineup.
And in terms of lineup thickness.
Manchester United is definitely better than Arsenal.
Manchester United can support multi-line operations.
Arsenal?
Mourinho doesn't think they can.
Arsenal reached the quarterfinals,
They must continue to be distracted from the Champions League.
in this case.
Arsenal cannot concentrate on domestic competitions.
Even if Arsenal loses this season, it may happen during this period.
This is the situation Mourinho most hopes for.
Eliminate Real Madrid.
Arsenal didn't pay the price.
It can even be said to be costly.
Not to mention the physical exertion of the team.
Wilshere's injury left Arsenal with almost no one available in the midfield.
To know.
The next league game won't be easy.
Arsenal will face Liverpool at home.
Liverpool are now fifth in the league.
They definitely want to win, score points, enter the top four, and qualify for the Champions League!
As the head coach of Manchester United, Mourinho also rarely supports a group of Liverpool.
I hope Liverpool can gain some momentum.
When facing the semi-disabled Arsenal, he broke out with the fighting power he should have to defeat Arsenal.
Mourinho is waiting for Arsenal to collapse.
How could Wenger not know.
For Wenger.
The joy of knocking out Real Madrid and advancing to the quarterfinals only lasted one night.
When I got up the next morning.
Wenger had a severe headache.
Wilshere is injured.
The team is completely at home in the midfield.
The midfielders currently available include Kante, B seat, Coquelin and Ramsey.
Among them, Coquelin and Ramsey have basically not had many playing opportunities this season, and their state is worrying.
on Friday.
UEFA conducted a draw for the quarter-finals.
The Champions League teams that have entered the quarterfinals this season include: Arsenal, Manchester United, Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Galatasaray.
There are no avoidance rules for the quarter-final draw.
The lucky one to draw Galatasaray was Juventus.
What about Arsenal?
Arsenal met Bayern Munich.
And Manchester United drew Dortmund.
Barcelona drew the big money Paris Saint-Germain.
Eight teams.
will compete to qualify for the semi-finals.
Arsenal's opponent is Bayern Munich.
Who dares to underestimate it?
Wenger hopes that the team's injured players can work hard and return to form as soon as possible.
Otherwise, facing Bayern Munich would be a disaster.
The league has entered the middle and late stages.
With various cup competitions and Champions League matches, basically the schedules of wealthy teams will be quite intensive.
After knocking out Real Madrid.
The next opponent Arsenal has to face is Liverpool.
Come back from the joy and excitement of knocking out Real Madrid.
Everyone suddenly realized.
Arsenal knock out Real Madrid
The problem is actually huge!
Their players were injured and exhausted.
Liverpool are three points behind fourth-placed Chelsea.
Not too far behind.
The difference is just one game.
It's a case of trying hard to qualify for the Champions League next season.
It is very important for Liverpool to qualify for the Champions League.
For Liverpool.
this game.
Or.
The next dozen league games.
They all have their own reasons to fight.
What's more, facing an Arsenal like this.
How can Liverpool deserve this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity if they don't fight for it?
For Arsenal.
An opponent like Liverpool is the last thing they want to encounter.
This game is destined to be a hard battle.
There was speculation before the game.
How will Wenger respond to this game?
Some people think.
Arsenal are now nine points ahead of second-placed Manchester United in the league.
Will they give up this game and focus on the Champions League?
Anyway, with their current points.
Even losing a game.
It doesn't really matter.
No need to struggle for a game.
But how do these people know?
The competition for the league championship is actually a struggle right now.
If we give up one or two league games.
Then this breath was inevitably released.
Since there is a competition, you can give up.
Why not give up a few more games?
Wenger certainly knows.
I want to win the league.
You can't relax at this tone.
Is a nine-point lead a big advantage?
Not sure!
Especially in such a fiercely competitive environment in the Premier League.
so.
For Arsenal.
league.
It's impossible to give up.
So when Arsenal's starting lineup was released.
Many who thought Arsenal would make some rotations were surprised to find out.
Arsenal fielded the strongest lineup they could field!
In addition to the injured Wilshere, there is also Mane who returns to the starting lineup.
The other positions are exactly the same as the last Champions League game against Real Madrid.
A two-front battle.
There was actually no rotation.
Instead, they sent out the strongest lineup.
People were surprised to discover Arsenal's ambitions - they actually want the Champions League, go hand in hand!
"Do they still want to win the double crown?"
Mourinho snorted coldly: "I'm afraid I won't win the last two championships!"
It's less than three days until Arsenal returns from Madrid.
Wenger is so greedy!
Mourinho originally thought that.
If Wenger were more sensible.
He has to make some trade-offs at least on some occasions.
For example, this game against Liverpool.
It should be rotated.
Then Manchester United's opportunity will come.
But who would have thought.
Arsenal actually didn't rotate at all.
This was beyond Mourinho's expectations.
But that’s fine too.
They are so greedy.
Just let them fight with Liverpool!
The teams still eyeing it include another team from Manchester.
Manchester City!
Actually.
All eyes are on the competition between Arsenal and Manchester United.
Instead, Manchester City was ignored.
Pellegrini on seeing Arsenal's starting lineup.
A smile also appeared on his face.
"Our chance has come!"
Pellegrini said.
Pellegrini, who replaced Mancini as Manchester City coach, is clear.
His team has only one goal: the Premier League championship.
even though.
Manchester City are now 10 points behind Arsenal.
But what gave Pellegrini confidence was the fact that he faced strong opponents in the second half of the league.
Manchester City has defeated Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham and Everton in away games.
This winning streak.
The confidence of Manchester City's players is at an all-time high.
And the key is.
They still have a chance to go head-to-head with Arsenal.
That is to say.
As long as there is turmoil at Arsenal.
Manchester City definitely has a chance!
10 points!
It seems like a lot.
But the league still has
It only ended after thirteen games!
Manchester City may not have no chance - because the strong teams they will face later are Arsenal and Manchester United.
City's chances came from Arsenal's own collapse.
Arsenal's complete lack of rotation when facing Liverpool gave Pellegrini hope.
The biggest advantage of Manchester City is that they only have domestic matches left to play.
Champions League?
They were eliminated from the group early.
It is impossible to consume Manchester City's physical energy and energy.
Led Manchester City to a historic Premier League championship.
It's Pellegrini's only goal.
to this end.
He has even been using the second-line lineup to deal with the League Cup and FA Cup - the League Cup has long been eliminated, and Pellegrini does not plan to invest much energy in the FA Cup.
These two fronts.
For Manchester City.
It belongs wherever you are kicked.
There will be no chance that the matches on these two fronts will drag down the physical fitness of Manchester City's main players.
And Manchester City's main force.
All the energy is needed to face the league! !
The Manchester City duo are staring at Arsenal from behind!
Start by getting Arsenal’s starting lineup.
Rogers' brow never relaxed.
Everyone hopes that Liverpool and Arsenal will have a shocking battle.
Can consume Arsenal to the maximum extent.
But Rogers doesn't want his team to become a pawn for others to benefit from.
What he hopes more is that Arsenal can take the initiative to make rotations in this game.
Send out the second line lineup to fight.
Thus.
Liverpool can more easily score points at the Emirates Stadium to catch up with Chelsea.
To catch up with Chelsea.
Liverpool don't dare to relax during a game.
So as soon as Arsenal's starting list comes out.
Rogers could imagine it.
This game is destined to be a tough battle for Liverpool.
But this is just Rogers' personal opinion.
In the media box at Emirates Stadium.
There are quite a lot of media reporters from Liverpool - it is a big city after all.
They don't think Arsenal's lack of rotation poses much of a threat to Liverpool.
"I just came back from Madrid. You've consumed so much and haven't rotated. Are you looking for death?"
"Haha, if you want to go hand in hand, you will end up with nothing!"
"The result of asking for everything is to make things even worse!"
Reporters from Liverpool looked sarcastic.
They felt Arsenal were doomed.
He will use up the last of his energy at home.
Then lose the game.
But they all guessed wrong.
Instead, Rogers was right.
This game is indeed a fierce battle! !
at the beginning of the game.
Everyone discovered this.
Arsenal, who returned from the Bernabeu, showed no signs of fatigue.
on the contrary.
They broke out with surprising fighting power.
They exuded a dangerous aura.
Make their opponents feel intimidated.
From that fight at the Bernabeu.
It didn’t leave Arsenal mentally and physically exhausted.
Instead, it gave Arsenal players endless confidence, fighting spirit, and strength.
The fighting spirit in their hearts is so high.
Their confidence is so strong.
We could beat Real Madrid at the Bernabeu.
Return to your home turf.
Are you still afraid of you as a Liverpool?
Can Liverpool compare to Real Madrid?
We don't even care about Real Madrid anymore.
Does Liverpool still need to be trembling when facing you?
This is a joke.
So the Liverpool players couldn't understand why the Arsenal players were looking at them so condescendingly.
Why is their confidence so strong?
The most important thing is facing Liverpool.
Arsenal's players are even a bit leisurely, doing things with ease and with ease.
Even on the court.
It seems that Liverpool is more like the team that has just experienced fierce battles and injuries.
Arsenal is a side waiting for work.
Why can Arsenal players behave so calmly on the pitch?
The reason is of course brought by confidence!
Confidence is crucial to a player's performance on the court.
Confident player.
Able to exert 100% of his energy on the court.
The power of the spirit is great.
Arsenal now.
Current Arsenal players.
I am full of confidence in myself and the team.
Also confident are the Arsenal fans.
They sang and cheered in the stands.
It provides strong courage and motivation to Arsenal players on the pitch.
Facing Arsenal like this.
Facing this Emirates Stadium.
Liverpool only lasted eighteen minutes.
After persisting for eighteen minutes.
Liverpool's goal was finally declared lost.
Ye Luo rushed into the penalty area with the ball murderously.
When cutting inside to the small penalty area line, he shot low with his right foot.
The football flew quickly past the feet of several defensive players.
Got into the goal!
Arsenal.
Home field.
One to zero.
Ahead of Liverpool! !
When the football flies into the goal.
In the stands,.
The reporters from Liverpool were dumbfounded.
Their faces were burning,
All their taunts before.
At this moment.
They all turned into big slaps,
It was blowing on the face.
It hurts. (End of chapter)
