In the 35th round of the Premier League, Liverpool easily scored three points at home.

But the other three teams competing for the four opponents, Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal, they all managed to win.

In this case, the ranking order and point difference from the second to fifth in the Premier League have not changed, but each has increased by three points.

Manchester City and Liverpool now share 69 points, Arsenal 68 and Manchester United 66.

Although the point difference has not changed, there is one less Premier League game, which is more beneficial to the three teams ranked within the top four such as Liverpool, but not very beneficial to Manchester United.

During the recent period, the English media have been trying their best to help Manchester United think about it, and are anxious about Manchester United's fourth-place contending situation.

The reputation effect accumulated over the past two decades in the Ferguson era, coupled with the current global influence of Manchester United, these have made the English media more inclined to Manchester United.

If one of the four teams that are currently fighting for three places must fall, most of the English media may prefer that Arsenal fall.

Arsenal grab a place in the Champions League every year, but Shiliu Lang every year is indeed a bit of a loser.

And with the current points situation, if Manchester United wants to win the top four, the biggest possibility is indeed to squeeze out Arsenal and enter the top four.

In the penultimate round, Manchester United will face Arsenal at home. As long as they can beat the opponent, the Red Devils will be able to overtake the Gunners in points.

However, Arsenal still has a round of make-up games that they did not play. Even if they are really overtaken by Manchester United, Arsenal can also make up for the points through the make-up games, so it is really difficult for Manchester United.

After 35 rounds of the Premier League, Liverpool will be preparing for the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Liverpool's next three games will be very difficult, because the opponents are all strong opponents.

In the next two consecutive weeks, Liverpool will face Real Madrid in the two rounds of the Champions League semi-finals, and in the league between the two Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool will play away against Chelsea.

Such a schedule can indeed be called a devil's schedule.

more importantly,

Liverpool defeated Chelsea in the Champions League quarter-finals before, which made Chelsea grudges from top to bottom.

Now that Liverpool is facing a devil's schedule, Chelsea will certainly not let go of this good opportunity to add insult to injury. They have already started talking, saying that they want to make Liverpool look good at home.

According to Mourinho, they just want to pursue the second highest points in the Premier League, so they must try their best to beat Liverpool at home and strive to get three points.

If they really lose away to Chelsea at that time, then Liverpool's fourth-place situation will become difficult again.

Fortunately, Liverpool still has a make-up match to recover blood, and there is a certain amount of room for maneuver. It is not necessary to fight Chelsea.

With the Champions League semi-final approaching, the Liverpool club has a guest.

Ding Junhui, a Chinese snooker player, came to visit the Liverpool Club. As a Chinese star, Li Chenglong was naturally drawn to act as a receptionist.

Li Chenglong gave his No. 7 jersey to each other, and the two sides promoted each other.

Ding Junhui became the world's number one for the first time at the beginning of this year, becoming the 11th world number one in snooker history, which is just in full swing.

A few days ago, he lost to Trump in the quarter-finals of the World Snooker Championship in Sheffield, so he happened to have time to visit Liverpool, and everyone cheered each other on.

Li Chenglong is also a representative of the club, and it is logical to invite the other party to stay and watch the next Champions League semi-final between Liverpool and Real Madrid.

On the night of May 5th, the first semi-final of this season's Champions League was played, and Juventus played against Barcelona at home.

In the end, with Neymar's goal, Barcelona drew 1:1 with Juventus away.

Get a draw away and also have an away goals advantage.

Barcelona had some small advantages in the first round.

On the night of May 6th, the second game of the UEFA Champions League semi-final, Liverpool's home game against Real Madrid officially started at Anfield Stadium.

Before the game started, there was already a sea of ​​red in the Anfield stadium.

There are red team flags waving in the wind everywhere in the stadium, and the stands are full of Liverpool fans wearing uniform red jerseys.

When the Liverpool team came out of the player tunnel, the Liverpool fans in the stands held up the red scarves in their hands. It was a commemorative scarf when Liverpool won the Champions League in 2005. At the same time, they sang the team song "You will always Won't Walk Alone".

"This Champions League semi-final is the first time Liverpool have reached the Champions League semi-final after seven years since the 2007/08 season, so the Liverpool fans in Anfield are very enthusiastic."

"But the opponent they have to face is not easy, the famous Galacticos Real Madrid."

"In the Champions League group stage this season, Liverpool and Real Madrid were in the same group. At that time, Liverpool was double-killed 1:3 at home and 0:1 away."

"However, the situation is different now. In the group stage, Bruce Lee was sent off after playing less than half of the first game, and he was suspended for the second game."

"So strictly speaking, Liverpool was double-killed by Real Madrid in the group stage, all in the absence of Bruce Lee."

"Now that Bruce is back, I don't know if Liverpool can beat Real Madrid."

Amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the home fans, this important battle of the Champions League semi-finals began.

In this game, Liverpool still arranged a 433 formation.

Goalkeeper: Mignolet

Defenders: Moreno, Lovren, Skrtel, Emrejan;

Midfielders: Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho;

Forwards: Sterling, Lee Jackie, Sturridge.

This is the most commonly used formation for Liverpool in recent times.

As for Real Madrid, they arranged a 442 formation.

Goalkeeper: Keylor Navas;

Defenders: Marcelo, Varane, Pepe, Carvajal;

Midfielders: Isco, Kroos, Iliamendi, Ronaldo;

Forwards: Ronaldo, Bell.

At present, there are three important players in the Real Madrid team, Benzema, Modric and Ramos, who are injured, so Ancelotti adjusted and arranged such a formation.

In fact, Bell also came to the competition with a minor injury, and it was his traditional soleus injury.

In football, Royal soles, Bayern adductors, Barcelona groin, these are very valuable positions, and they are prone to injury at every turn.

The game officially started, and in the first attack of the opening, Gerrard sent a through ball in front of the penalty area.

Li Chenglong went forward to get the ball in the penalty area, but collided with Navas who was attacking, and the two fell in the penalty area together.

The stands were full of shouts of penalty kicks, but Italian referee Rizzoli did not award a penalty kick.

Although Li Chenglong was the player who went forward to get the ball, he didn't get the ball yet. The ball was not within his control. On the contrary, Navas who attacked in time got the ball first, so Rizzoli not only did not award a penalty kick, He also blew off Lee Jackie's slamming goalkeeper.

The penalty caused huge boos in Anfield.

But Li Chenglong knew that this was a normal penalty, so he didn't talk too much nonsense. He got up first and then gave Navas a hand.

How to say, the two also worked together in Schalke 04 for a season, and they also won the Champions League together.

Now that each is their own master, they can only fight each other in battle.

This is also the norm in football.
