Apart from the carnival in the stadium after the game, Liverpool did not hold a big celebration such as a parade around the city this time. After all, there are still two events that have not won the championship, and the schedule is tight. The next game is an away game against Rome.
When the final Champions League is won and the four-time champion is successfully defended, it will not be too late to celebrate grandly.
On May 2, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool challenged Roma away. After a 6-1 victory in the first round, Klopp made a small amount of rotations in the second round and began to accumulate strength for the FA Cup final and the Champions League final.
Roma really deserves to be the super dark horse that reversed Barcelona in the quarter-finals. In the second round of the semi-finals, they were in great shape amidst the cheers of their home fans and blasted away Liverpool's goal three times.
Of course, although Liverpool has rotated some players, Willard's presence can still ensure that they will not be reversed.
Willard and his teammates also scored three goals, and the two sides shook hands with each other 3-3.
But in terms of total score, Liverpool won 9-4 and advanced to the Champions League final.
In another semi-final known as the European Derby, Real Madrid narrowly defeated Bayern Munich with a total score of 4-3 in two rounds. Both sides really spent a lot of money. Facing Liverpool in the final, many people felt that Real Madrid was in danger.
Although the two sides tied 6-5 in the Champions League final last season and Liverpool narrowly won, this season, the overall strength of Willard and Liverpool has significantly improved. Real Madrid, on the other hand, spent two games with Bayern Munich in the semi-finals. It is a bit difficult to avenge last season's defeat.
Of course, for Real Madrid, a historical statistical advantage is that no team has successfully defended the Champions League after the restructuring. If this pattern continues to be valid, it means that Liverpool will not win the championship.
Just see if this rule will work for Liverpool.
In the last two Premier League games, Klopp used it entirely for training and did not deliberately pursue victory. Even Willard was put on the bench to rest for one game.
Liverpool won one game and lost one in the two games, raising its final points in the Premier League this season to 108 points, surpassing the 105 points last season and once again setting a new single-season points record in the Premier League and even the five major leagues.
In the future, Liverpool may pursue goals such as unbeaten season and championship, the longest unbeaten record in the five major leagues, or even a complete victory and championship.
On May 19, the 2017/2018 English FA Cup final between Manchester United and Liverpool officially kicked off at Wembley Stadium.
In the past, Manchester United was like the big BOSS of the Premier League, people looked up to it, and had dominated the Premier League for many years, while Liverpool could not win a championship even if they wanted to.
With the retirement of Ferguson, although Manchester United continues to find big-name coaches to try to turn the tide, the decline of the Red Devils is indeed a fact visible to the naked eye.
This should have been an exciting double-red match and an English national derby, but the result was a complete defeat for Manchester United. Willard was on full fire, scoring 4 goals in the game, and Salah was the icing on the cake.
In the end, Liverpool defeated Manchester United led by Mourinho 5-0 in the final and won the FA Cup championship in the 2017/2018 season.
The championships in the three domestic competitions have been won, and it only depends on the final Champions League. As long as they can defeat Real Madrid in the Champions League, Liverpool will become the first team to successfully defend the Champions League after its restructuring, and will become the first team in the world to successfully defend the Triple Crown.
On May 26, with the whistle of Serbian referee Marzic, the 2017/2018 Champions League final between Real Madrid and Liverpool officially began at the Olympic Sports Center in Kiev, the capital of Ukraine.
For Real Madrid, the goalkeeper is Navas, known as "the wall", the defenders are Marcelo, Ramos, Varane, and Carvajal, and the three midfielders are Toni Kroos, Casemiro, and Modri. Strange, attacking midfielder Isco, double forwards Ronaldo and Benzema.
For Liverpool, goalkeeper Klopp chose Karius. Karius' goalkeeping ability is still better than Mignolet, so he gained Klopp's trust in this Champions League final and was able to start. Just hope that his occasional bouts with buttery hands don't happen in this crucial Champions League final.
The defenders are Milner, Van Dijk, Lovren, and Alexander-Arnold, the midfielders are Henderson, Velarde, and Wijnaldum, and the forward three are Mane, Firmino, and Salah.
Both sides almost fielded their strongest lineups, except for Real Madrid's Gareth Bale. He doesn't seem to have the trust of coach Zidane. He doesn't play much time in either the league or the cup, and he was also on the bench in this heavyweight Champions League final.
After the game started, Real Madrid took the initiative to attack. Because they consumed more energy in the league and cup than Liverpool, they were at a physical disadvantage in this game, so they must take the initiative to attack and strive to score early to establish an advantage within 90 minutes. Solve the battle.
But with Willard's omnipresence in the midfield and backcourt, coupled with the defense of Henderson, Wijnaldum, Van Dijk, Lovren and others, Real Madrid's offense has been unable to achieve much results.
Although the three midfielders composed of Modric, Casemiro and Kroos have good control, on the one hand they will be attacked and suppressed by Salah, Firmino and Mane. On the other hand, Villa When Germany, Wijnaldum, Milner, and Arnold moved forward to counterattack, the three of them had no energy to organize a slow attack.
The score of 0-0 between the two sides lasted for 20 minutes. After all, Velarde, who was cheating, came out on top. In the 22nd minute, he got the ball from the backcourt and successively broke through Isco, Modric, and Casse. Miro's defense, and then hit the wall with Firmino who was connecting from the side, and then reached the right side of the top of the penalty area. He deflected the ball to avoid Ramos's attack and then took a powerful long shot from the spot. The ball hit the upper left corner of the goal.
Even if he started to shoot from the spot, Velard's full strength also made a world-wide kick outside the penalty area. Coupled with full shooting skills, he also hit the blind spot accurately.
Although Navas is known as the wall and reacts quickly, in the end he is helpless in the face of this powerful world wave that is extremely fast and goes straight to the blind corner. He misses the ball by a hair and can only watch the ball enter the net in despair.
The commentators in England collectively shouted:
"Goooooooooooooooooooooooal..."
"The ball went in!!!"
"Willard scored a long-range goal to open the scoring for Liverpool."
"Liverpool leads Real Madrid 1-0 and has the upper hand."
"With Willard, you have wins and championships."
After taking the lead, the game became easier to play. Liverpool slightly shrank its formation and forced Real Madrid to attack.
Although they knew Liverpool's plan, Real Madrid had nothing to do, because this was the final, and the outcome would be decided in one game. They couldn't let the 0-1 score last until the end, right? Then Real Madrid loses.
Of course, it is only the first half. Although the score is behind, it is only one point behind. Therefore, Real Madrid is still relatively patient and does not rush all the players too anxiously. It still maintains a good formation and defensive strength in the backcourt to prevent maintenance. The counterattacks of Ladd, Salah and others.
