Four games in the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout round were played within two days. Except for Gao Han's Bayern Munich defeated Porto four-to-zero home games, the other three games were also staged one after another.

The match between Barcelona and Inter Milan was played at the same time as Bayern Munich.

The first leg was Barcelona's visit to Meazza Stadium. Plandelli's team conceded the ball in just four minutes of the game. This was a nightmare start for the Nerazzurri, but ten minutes later, Cristiano Ronaldo equalized the score.

In the 85th minute of the second half, it was Cristiano Ronaldo's assist, allowing Adriano to win another goal and overtake the score to two-to-one.

But the good times didn't last long. Just four minutes later, Barcelona's Iniesta scored again.

In the end, the two sides became a draw with World War II.

On the second day after Barcelona drew 2-2 with Inter Milan away, Atletico Madrid drew 1-1 with Arsenal at the London Emirates Stadium. Both sides played very well. Arsenal scored a goal in the first ten minutes of the game, but Atletico Madrid equalized the score in the second half.

But what really surprised Gao Han was another game, where the Red Devils and Manchester United challenged Liverpool away.

Liverpool is Manchester United's number one miser this season. He just won a big victory at Old Trafford Stadium. This time, he met again in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and many people are more optimistic about Benitez's team.

Facts have proved that Liverpool, who played at home, did get off to a better start. He scored a goal in the sixth minute, breaking the deadlock on the court, which also allowed both sides, who were cautious in the beginning to completely let go.

Both sides frequently got opportunities, but neither had a good chance to score. Until the end of the first half, Manchester United got a corner kick opportunity. Scholes took the penalty and Pepe scored a header, equalizing the score for Manchester United.

After the second half of the game, Liverpool began to focus on the two points of Scholes and Carrick, but the young player Matic performed well. His steals and interceptions in the midfield curbed most of Liverpool's offense and gave wonderful passes to the frontcourt many times.

After surviving the first ten minutes, Manchester United was weak again. With another corner kick opportunity, Pepe scored again, reversed the score, and hit Liverpool's morale heavily.

Just five minutes later, Tevez assisted and Rooney scored, locking the score at 3-1.

In the end, Manchester United won Liverpool away.

"Benitez has been trapped!"

Gao Han watched the live broadcast of this game in Sebena's coach's office. Not only were the coaching staff members, but also Henes, Ruménig and Nellinger from the management team.

In front of this game, they are no different from ordinary fans, and they like to discuss while watching the football.

The only difference is that in order to stay awake, they cannot drink alcohol, only water or coffee.

"Ferguson, the old fox, directed this classic reversal. Whether outside or inside, we taught us a lesson, forcing us to be cautious." Gao Han said cautiously.

Judging from the situation before the game, Liverpool undoubtedly has the advantage, with the right time, place and people.

In the so-called time, the Reds just broke Manchester United at Old Trafford Stadium. The time point was just right, so they could take advantage of the victory and take action to kill Manchester United.

Needless to say, the location is good and the people are harmonious. When fighting at home, the Reds are united, and Benitez is a cup expert.

But unexpectedly, Ferguson quickly changed his color at Anfield Stadium.

"This old man is not simple. He has super strong learning ability and strong self-reflection ability. Maybe they are the ones who can laugh at the end in the upper half of the area." Gao Han said in admiration.

Among the four teams in the first half, Manchester United was originally the weakest because they just lost to Liverpool at home. Unexpectedly, the situation suddenly reversed by 3-1 away games.

Judging from the score in the first round, Manchester United can be said to have advanced with one foot.

From beginning to end, this was a victory that belonged entirely to Ferguson.

"Benitez shouldn't have had a verbal battle with Ferguson before the game. As a result, he not only played, but also fell deeply in it. Ferguson was flirting with his temper. After scoring a goal at home, he did not restrain himself, but wanted to eat his opponent in one breath. Now he was swallowed by his opponent." Rummenigge was also quite sighing.

This is the case with professional football, and the game trend is often in the head coach's thoughts.

Before the game, Ferguson took the lead in provoking, believing that Liverpool's previous victory was a reward for reaping the benefits and was not a force.

Benitez did not fight back at first, but remained silent.

But soon, Ferguson made another attack. This time, he said in an interview with the media that he would not go to see the Premier League between Liverpool and Fulham because there was no need, and he had plans to defeat Benitez in full.

"But I can guarantee that he will definitely watch our game against Aston Villa. If you don't believe it, please ask him."

As a result, Benitez was really angry this time.

The famous Spanish coach publicly criticized Manchester United in an interview, "He always discusses other people's teams too much. I don't know if this is a psychological warfare, but he should be a little afraid of us, right? What's more, I don't think it's a reasonable thing to do when you stoppage time at Old Trafford, isn't it?"

As soon as Benitez spoke, Ferguson immediately counterattacked, saying that Manchester United's stoppage time was decided by the referee team. Although it was not short, Liverpool also received care in the away game against Fulham. Otherwise, how could he score a goal at the last moment?

Espanyol immediately fought back, "Manchester United is a great club. I respect Manchester United very much, but I have to say that I don't like Ferguson's random criticism of other teams at all. If someone criticizes Liverpool, I will fight back."

The two of them had a very happy fight in the media, and even the media started to make excitement.

Manchester Evening News took the lead in revealing a report that once Benitez starts a war of words, Liverpool will be in bad luck.

Don't believe it?

The newspaper pointed out that the last time Benitez had a verbal battle with people was in January, and his opponent was also Ferguson at the time. The two teams were fighting for the top of the league. As a result, Benitez was angry and prepared an A4 paper early and scolded Ferguson at the press conference.

This scolding was satisfying, but afterwards, Liverpool tied four consecutive draws and gave up the top of the league.

As a result, this time Benitez started scolding again and lost again.

Of course Gao Han knew that the battle of words was not as powerful as the legendary one. It was not that Benitez was careless, but because he was a little emotional during the game and was eager to eat his opponent in one bite. Ferguson was a cunning man and used the tactic of defending and counterattacking. As a result, although he lost one goal first, he scored three goals in a row.

Gao Han has fought with Ferguson a lot himself. Of course, he knows how powerful this old man is, so he almost does everything he can do.

Of course, he is right to things, not people, friendship is friendship, and competition is competition.

"To be honest, Manchester United played so well in this game, it's hard to say who wins and loses in the first half." Hones was also a little surprised.

The interesting thing about football lies here.

Before the game was played, no one was sure to win.

Ferguson's reversal can be said to have caused most of the fans around the world to shatter their glasses.

As for the second half, Inter Milan did not play well in the first leg, drew Barcelona at home 2-2. Not only did they fail to win the opponent, but they instead gave the opponent two away goals. Although Plandelli's team's attack was sharp, their defense still had to be strengthened.

After Cannavaro, Matrazi and others get old, younger players such as Bonucci still need to practice again.

Of course, when visiting the Camp Nou Stadium, Inter Milan is fully capable of defeating his opponent, and with the fierce attack power of the Blue and Black Legion, there is still hope for advancement.

…………

…………

The facts are also as Gao Han predicted.

A week later, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals knockout match.

The first to start the game was Barcelona's home match against Inter Milan.

Plandelli's team scored first in just six minutes at the Camp Nou Stadium. Cristiano Ronaldo's key goal broke Valdes' goal, opening the door to victory for Inter Milan.

After that, the Blue and Black Legion guarded the battle all the way, without giving Barcelona any chance.

The two sides remained stalemate until the second half. Before the game was about to end, Messi stood up at a critical moment and dribbled the ball into the penalty area. Bonucci made a kick in the penalty area. Although he broke the ball, he tripped Messi.

The referee awarded a penalty without hesitation, and Messi calmly took the penalty and tied the score.

This is definitely a goal like gold.

It was with Messi's penalty kick that Barcelona finally eliminated Inter Milan three-to-three with the advantage of away goals and successfully entered the Champions League semi-finals.

Young player Bonucci became the focus of countless media accusations and criticism after the game, especially his defensive action.

But Inter Milan coach Plandley came forward to support Bonucci, confirming his performance in this game.

While Barcelona eliminated Inter Milan, Bayern Munich also defeated Porto 2-0 away, and successfully eliminated the Portuguese Super League champion with a total score of 6-0, and met Barcelona in the semi-finals.

The next day, the results of the other two games in the quarterfinals of the Champions League were also freshly released.

After drawing Arsenal 1-1 away, Heinx's team returned to Calderon Stadium, defeated the Gunners three-to-zero, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of four-1.

It should be said that this game was not surprising. Atletico Madrid played better and in better shape throughout the game.

But another game in the upper half was even more ups and downs.

Benitez's team first scored two goals in half an hour at Old Trafford and entered the second half with a 2-0 lead. However, unexpectedly, Ferguson's team was very resilient and attacked decisively in the second half, winning two goals in ten minutes to equalize the score, and winning another goal in the 76th minute to reverse the score.

But soon, the Reds Liverpool scored two goals in the 81st and 83rd minutes to reverse the score again.

But unexpectedly, Ferguson's team scored a key goal in the 89th minute.

In the end, the two sides became a draw with four-to-four games, and Manchester United eliminated Liverpool with a total score of seven to five.

But what really impresses people is not the result of the competition, but the process.

Both teams showed amazing resilience and tenacious fighting spirit throughout the process, especially Manchester United. Both rounds of games were from behind to reverse, and the whole process was completed with ups and downs, making people feel excited when they saw it.

After watching this game, Gao Han made no hesitation to judge that as long as Manchester United maintains the resilience and fighting spirit in these two rounds, the semi-finals will likely eliminate Atletico Madrid, which will enter the finals.

But this is not because of Manchester United's overall strength.
