"When I sent a text message to Terry yesterday, I told him that there will always be one side who will be disappointed in today's game, but this is life. I won't say that Inter Milan, who wins, will always be better than Chelsea, but in this game, Chinese Milan did perform better."

In two rounds of double defeats to Chelsea, Inter Milan has allowed the world to see their strength and potential.

Maybe Inter Milan will create another six-champion?

"Which one do I want more than the Champions League or Serie A? I want to say, I think we can reach the end on all three fronts!" Inter Milan head coach was overjoyed after eliminating Chelsea and once again made a bold statement to win the triple-tall this season. He was very passionate, ambitious, and most importantly, he was really hopeful!

Compared to last year, Inter Milan is stronger. Why can't Inter Milan stay at its peak for another year?

Even Barcelona at its peak did not win twice home and away games. Barcelona last season was almost perfect, but they could only use a controversial penalty to eliminate Chelsea. This year, Chelsea's strength has been further improved, but Mourinho and his team have won so convincingly, and the strength of the Serie A king is obvious to all. The Champions League is undoubtedly still the most challenging and difficult event in Europe today, because there are too many super strong teams eyeing it, but there is no doubt that Inter Milan is now the king.

However, Mourinho quickly poured another pot of cold water: "But if we play like tonight, it would be dangerous. We shouldn't let our opponent score a goal so easily. If we concede the goal in the final, it would be quite fatal. The team won too many honors last year and lacked enough motivation this season, which is what I worry about."

Dong Fangzhuo later expressed a similar view: "Why can't we set our goals higher, such as defending the title, or even three consecutive championships. I know that no team has done this since the reform of the Champions League, but the record is broken. Inter Milan needs to defend the title and continue to stand at the top."

"Scared! Defending the title, a dream." Spain's "World Sports" reported Dong Fangzhuo's words, "No matter what happens this year, it will be Barcelona's turn!"

"Sometimes, winning the Champions League requires luck. At least you have to meet some weaker teams before the final, such as Inter Milan last year." Barcelona legend Stoykov said sourly, "If Inter Milan and Barcelona changed positions before the final last year, they might not be able to enter the final."

When Stoykov went to Nyon, Switzerland to represent Barcelona in the eight-to-four draw for the lottery, he did not hide his disdain for Inter Milan. In their opinion, luck influenced the results of last year's Champions League.

"If you have strong teams head-on and end up falling on a team that gets cheap, it's normal, because all your strength has been exhausted before this."

fart!

Figo is the representative of Inter Milan's draw this time. Although he was born in Barcelona, ​​he was not interested in Stoykov's statement.

"Some people have healed their scars and forgot their pain. Why don't they say they won Inter Milan in the championship group stage this season? They have to miss such a good opportunity. Are they trying to save their strength to the finals? That was a gift that was given to us by intentionally losing 1:3 at home? Then let's see who can go further."

Although the two were just verbal battles, the smell of gunpowder was quite strong.

In the world, this quarter-finals team is full of highlights because almost all old opponents have come.

The mid-week final just ended, and all the top 8 were produced, namely: Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Inter Milan, Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Bordeaux and CSKA Moscow, and 8 European teams fought against each other.

The draw was hosted by UEFA Secretary-General Infantino, with the final ambassador and Real Madrid's public relations manager Butragno as the guest. The draw was made in the form of mixed draws of 8 teams, and the teams with the same country did not avoid it, and the teams they met in the group stage did not avoid it.

This year's draw is much more dangerous because the probability of passing a civil war is high, such as Arsenal vs Manchester United, Barcelona vs Real Madrid, or Lyon vs Bordeaux.

The first one to be drawn was Bordeaux of France. They tragically drew Real Madrid. After killing the nemesis Lyon for many years, they met another Ligue 1 team and were almost led to the semi-finals.

This luck is really no one, exactly the same as expected before the game. Stoykov rolled his eyes and firmly believed that Real Madrid was taken care of again, otherwise how could he meet Bordeaux, the weakest in the quarterfinals?

Then the 1999 Champions League matchup reappeared, Bayern Munich vs. Manchester United.

Many people still don’t understand why Moyes’ life is so strong, and he led Manchester United to the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Although the league results are really not good and the four crazy monsters are competing for, the Champions League results are not bad. Last year, he also made it to the quarterfinals of the quarterfinals. Perhaps it is precisely based on this point that Moyes can always sit on the Diaoyutai!

Anyway, Manchester United fans don’t understand. Except for the boss being satisfied, they are not satisfied at all.

The third group of matches appeared were Barcelona vs. Arsenal.

call,

Finally, it was not Inter Milan. Although there was no joy or anger on his face, he felt relieved.

Although he said it very awesome, in his heart, no one wanted to touch Inter Milan in Barcelona. He would rather touch Real Madrid than Inter Milan.

Everyone knows the reason for this.

Of course, Inter Milan got a good sign, CSKA Moscow, what a comfortable sign...

The quarter-finals of the Champions League this season will compete in the first round on March 31 and April 1, and the second round will be held on April 7 and 8, and the winning team will advance to the semi-finals. The two rounds will be April 21/22 and April 28/29.

Real Madrid vs Bordeaux

Arsenal vs Barcelona

Inter Milan vs. CSKA Moscow

The specific matches in the semi-finals are as follows (the team ranked first to play at home):

Figo later said in an interview:

"Last year, some people also said we drew a good draw, but when we reached the final, we played Barcelona. If we want to win the championship, we will eventually meet the strongest opponent. Inter Milan's goal is very clear, and we will eventually go to the Bernabeu."
