Hot on the transfer market.
The other games were equally exciting.
The match between Barcelona and Bayern was exciting, with the two teams fighting fiercely.
One is the defending champion last season, and the other is the overlord who won the Bundesliga eight rounds ahead of schedule this season. The competition between them is sparkling.
In the two rounds, the most outstanding performer was not the Argentinian Messi, but Bayern's left wing king Robben.
Robben, who moved to Bayern from Real Madrid this season, quickly became the new favorite of the Southern King.
In the Bundesliga, Robben overcame all obstacles, and in the Champions League, he scored goals one after another. Bayern's overall play this season was outstanding, and Robben's personal performance was outstanding.
According to the trajectory that will be remembered by future generations, Bayern finally made it all the way to the final this season, and ultimately lost to Mourinho's Nerazzurri with regret.
However, due to the sudden emergence of Monaco led by Yunsheng this season, the entire Champions League situation has changed.

AC Milan has made a strong recovery.
Facing the powerful Real Madrid in the quarter-finals, Manchester United also won with wonderful teamwork.
Real Madrid went through a major purge this season. They bought many stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Benzema, and also sold powerful players such as Robben and Sneijder. The team's reputation is greater, but the teamwork is worse.
These superstars all have good individual abilities, but their overall coordination is like a piece of loose sand. Coupled with Kaka's injury, Real Madrid is even worse.

It's a decisive battle between family members!
Barcelona and Inter Milan, the two teams have many disputes.
First of all, they have met before in the group stage and are very familiar with each other.
Mourinho, once an ordinary assistant coach at Barcelona, has now become a top coach in international football. He was tit-for-tat with Barcelona during his time at Chelsea and was an enemy of Barcelona many times. Now they are facing each other again. The two sides have been grudges for a long time and no one will show mercy.
Inter Milan forward Eto'o and Barcelona forward Ibrahimovic also faced their old clubs respectively. Especially Eto'o, who came to Inter Milan as Ibrahimovic's replacement, his resentment towards his old club is self-evident.
The matchup between the other two teams, Manchester United versus Monaco, is also very exciting.
In the Monaco camp, Beckham, Heinze and Dong Fangzhuo are all old players of Manchester United, especially Beckham. The heartthrob was once the No. 7 and captain of Manchester United. This time he returned to the Monaco jersey. The performance at Old Trafford will attract attention.

The road home is long and winding, full of ups and downs, full of flavors. When No. 7, the former Old Trafford Stadium, returns to its hometown, and when the former Nou Camp striker's darling returns to his old place, former teammates and fans will How to treat them?
Will they respond with songs or boos?
The way home is not easy to walk...
After seeing the lottery results, everyone had their own thoughts, some expressed them directly, and some kept them in their hearts.
When reporters swarmed in, many involved expressed their views without hesitation, especially many players, who expressed their views on the semifinals.
Ibrahimovic: "I have deep feelings for Inter Milan, they are one of the best teams; I also like Mourinho very much, he is one of the best coaches. But unfortunately, I I came to Barcelona this season just to win the Champions League."
Eto'o: "I don't want to talk about my old club. I just want to say one thing - we will definitely win the Champions League semi-finals!"
Heinze: "I miss playing at Manchester United. I came from Old Trafford. I am very grateful to Sir Alex Ferguson for his training. But I am sorry that I will represent Monaco and eliminate Manchester United."
In addition to the players, the head coaches of the four teams also made their own comments.
Mourinho: "Our goal is to win the championship, no matter who we meet! Moreover, after the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has ever defended the Champions League title. From a historical perspective, we should also advance to the final! "
Guardiola: "Jose said that no one can defend the Champions League. I think Barcelona can do it. I have full confidence in my players. Now this Barcelona is the best team in the world!"
Ferguson: "Monaco's ability to eliminate Arsenal proves that they are not weak. After all, they defeated a Premier League team that was eight points behind Manchester United. Yunsheng's coaching level is very high, he is young and promising, and in another ten or eight years , he may become the next Mourinho. However, they lack experience in the European war, and the reason why they have reached this point is because they have not encountered a strong team. This time they faced Manchester United, which is Monaco's misfortune. It's a pity that their Champions League miracle has come to an end."
Yunsheng: "In the Champions League knockout round of the 2004 season, when Porto met Manchester United, almost everyone was more optimistic about Manchester United, but what was the final result? Porto won the Champions League. Sir Alex Ferguson said, I may become the next Murray Neo, I feel honored to be favored by the Jazz. But I feel like, if I could be Mourinho, why wouldn't it be this season?"
