Revenge Huaguo football, assisting Ronaldo in the World Cup

After the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the Liverpool team song "YNWA" sounded at the Bernabéu Stadium.

Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti shook hands with Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp with a heartfelt smile.

Facing the team song at the Bernabéu, Klopp also showed a rare smile on his expressionless face when he walked towards his players on the field.

Ancelotti's post-match interview after the game.

Reporter: "Although the game was very stalemate in the early stage, from the overall statistics, Real Madrid still firmly controlled the rhythm of the game. What do you think of the team's performance?"

Anyone in Real Madrid is happy to be able to successfully advance to the quarter-finals, and Ancelotti also had a smile on his face when he was interviewed.

"I think we played well and controlled the game well."

"Even when defending Liverpool's full attack, we didn't defend low, we tried to handle the ball in the midfield position."

"We had a lot of chances in this game and the defense was solid."

"We played the game we wanted."

Reporter: "Why did you play Liverpool's team song "YNWA" at the Bernabéu after the game?"

"Well, first of all, doing this is actually a very good thing."

"And it was won by Liverpool, and we are also thankful for their mourning for Amancio in the first leg."

"In official terms, this can open up the situation between the two sides and respect each other."

The reporter nodded, obviously agreeing with Ancelotti's words.

Then he went on to ask:

"By the way, I haven't congratulated you on successfully advancing to the quarter-finals of the Champions League. May I ask who is the opponent you want to meet in the quarter-finals?"

Ancelotti didn't hesitate in the face of this question.

"I don't know who we will meet in the draw, but I would like to meet Milan in the final, in Istanbul, not in the quarter-finals."

Ancelotti once coached the Serie A powerhouse AC Milan, and it is no exaggeration to say that AC Milan is the team Ancelotti has the deepest affection for.

It was also at the San Siro Giuseppe Meazza that Ancelotti and Milan reached their peak at the same time.

2001-2009年共8年的执教时间里，安切洛蒂和红黑军团相继夺得了2座欧冠冠军和1座意甲联赛冠军，战绩非常出色。

His transformation of Pirlo has given birth to a midfielder in world football, and Kaka has also become the World Footballer under the training of Anshuai.

For AC Milan, where he has the deepest feelings, Ancelotti certainly does not want to meet his old club and old guys in advance.

After the reporter heard Ancelotti's answer, he followed the clues and asked:

"Head coach, do you feel that the current Real Madrid is somewhat similar to the AC Milan you played for?"

Ancelotti's eyes escaped into the void, as if he was cast on the San Siro where he once held the coach.

There was unconcealable nostalgia in his tone, and he shook his head with a nostalgic opening:

"Real Madrid and AC Milan, they are different teams."

"Each team has its own identity, history..."

"Now Real Madrid is a modern team, because today's football requires quality, commitment, fitness and experience."

"Today Benzema, Yuqin, Modric and Kroos played a very good game."

"In a sense, the team may have been a little scared to handle the ball because of the pressure from the opposition, but they did a good job."

"And the tacit cooperation between Yuqin and Modric has greatly helped our team in the stalemate."

Reporter: "Before the game, you publicly stated that any team in the world is eager to sign Yuqin, so is Yuqin the best player in the world?"

"For me it was like that, today his goal can be said to turn the tide."

"He was decisive, he provided assists, he scored goals, he created chances for the team with every dribble."

"Yuqin is definitely the best player in the world!"

Reporter: "The last question is also the one that Real Madrid fans are most concerned about."

"What do Real Madrid want to achieve in the Champions League this season?"

"Are you sure you will continue to help Real Madrid win the Champions League?"

Although Ancelotti has publicly stated before the game, Real Madrid's goal this season is the Champions League.

But after qualifying for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Ancelotti's speech became more conservative.

"At the team level, due to last year's experience and the joining of Yuqin, we have more confidence."

"In this game, against a strong team like the Reds, Liverpool, we did well in both legs."

"Only a gradual check of the team's confidence, as in this game, will allow us to reach the final."

"There were a lot of unexpected teams in the quarter-finals and no one expected where their team would go."

"The Champions League is always very complicated, but I can guarantee that Real Madrid will fight until the last moment!"

……

When Manchester City beat RB Leipzig 8:1, the quarterfinals of the Champions League have all been born.

This season's UEFA Champions League quarter-finals are about to usher in the draw ceremony.

After a lapse of 17 years, there was once again a "grand event" in which three Serie A teams advanced at the same time in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

This makes Serie A fans have more expectations for the results of the draw, such as AC Milan meeting Bayern or Real Madrid, and Manchester City and Chelsea staged a Premier League civil war.

After two rounds in the 1/8 finals, last week Chelsea, Benfica, Bayern and AC Milan eliminated Dortmund, Club Brugge, Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham respectively.

In addition, this week's Manchester City, Inter Milan, Real Madrid, and Naples eliminated Leipzig, Porto, Liverpool, and Frankfurt respectively.

Among the top 8 of the UEFA Champions League this season, Serie A became the biggest winner. After 17 years, three teams advanced at the same time again.

The last time this scene appeared in the Champions League was in the 2005-06 season, when the Milan duo joined hands with Juventus to advance.

For the other 5 seats, Manchester City and Chelsea are the only 4 teams left in the Premier League, Bayern is left in the Bundesliga, Real Madrid is left in La Liga, Benfica is left in the Portuguese Super League, and the Ligue [-] is completely wiped out, because Paris, the only group to qualify, was eliminated.

According to media statistics, only Manchester City and Naples have never won the Champions League top 8 teams.

The latter made a breakthrough, broke into the top 8 of the Champions League for the first time in team history, became the number one dark horse, and had the opportunity to create a miracle to win the Champions League for the first time.

Then the result of the quarter-final draw is very critical. It is necessary to avoid the three favorites of Bayern, Manchester City and Real Madrid in advance.

In terms of overall strength, Bayern, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are the only three teams.

Inter Milan and Chelsea are in the second tier.

Naples, AC Milan and Benfica are in the third tier.

There is no "big gift package" team among the third-tier teams, which makes the next quarter-final matchup very intense and exciting.

Compared with UEFA's cancellation of the away goal rule in the knockout rounds, the draw rules for the quarter-final stage have not changed.

There are still no league teams to avoid, and no longer distinguish seed teams, which means that it is possible to stage a Serie A civil war and a Premier League civil war in two games.
