The Champions League is important, and so is the league.
At the critical moment of winning the championship, the Gunners, who were fighting on two fronts, finally couldn't hold on anymore.
The relegation team Wigan Athletic performed extremely bravely in these relegation battles at the end of the season.
First, they defeated Manchester United 1-0 in the last game. In this game, in the last ten minutes, while the professor substituted all the main players of the Gunners, he scored two goals during the break, and finally achieved the lead.
It has to be said that at the end of the season, relegation teams can sometimes show stronger will and fighting ability than championship teams.
1 to 2, this is a frustrating score.
The Gunners, who wanted to use a minimal advantage of 1 to 0 to gain maximum results, ultimately lost to their calculated plan.
Looking at the final score on the scoreboard at the Emirates Stadium, the professor, who was crouching in thought, began to miss the Arsenal team that had Henry, Bergkamp, Vieira and others.
At that time, the Gunners were full of strong players, and even the people sitting on the bench were all elites.
Look now, who are the people sitting on the bench?
In 1991, in 1992, in 1993...
One is younger than the other, and one is more unusable than the other.
It doesn't really matter to let these young guys adapt to the rhythm of the Premier League. The key is to let these people stand up to win the championship at the critical moment. That would be too heavy!
If one of these post-90s players can produce a player like Lei, Arsenal would already be in high demand. The professor wants more, which is obviously a bit greedy.
In this way, in the penultimate round of the three-wizard championship, the Gunners took the lead and lost the chain.
Since we lost in the league, we can no longer take it lightly in the Champions League.
"442" also took the opportunity to publish an article at this time, titled "Is the advantage of 3 goals really safe?"
In the history of the Champions League, is there any precedent for leading by 3 goals in the first round and being overturned in the second round?
The answer is obviously yes, and quite a few.
For example, in the two-leg match between Derby County and Real Madrid in the 1975-76 season, Derby County defeated Real Madrid 4-1 at home in the first leg. However, when they went to the Bernabeu, they lost 1-5 in front of 120,000 fans.
Judging from this example, Real Madrid does not have the gene for reversal, as fans say.
In addition, in the 1984-85 season, Partizan Belgrade and Queens Park Rangers played 2-6 in the first leg and 4-0 in the second leg;
In the 1987-88 season, Leverkusen and Espanyol ended up 0-3 in the first round, 3-0 in the second round, and 3-2 in the penalty shootout;
The most famous among them are Deportivo La Coruna and AC Milan in the 2003-04 season.
At that time, Milan defeated Deportivo La Coruna 4-1 in the first round at San Siro, but in the second round, they suffered a shocking reversal from Super Deportivo 4-0.
After picking out these Champions League examples, fans seem to think that the Gunners' 3-0 is not so safe!
What's more, this season Arsenal is the biggest example of a comeback and promotion.
There were two games against Milan, one was 1-4, the other was 5-1...
It stands to reason that the Gunners should have exhausted all their luck in the second round against Milan.
Eliminating Barcelona is completely "overdrafting life"!
Looking at it now, it is really not a coincidence that after defeating Real Madrid 3-0 in the first round, they immediately lost to a small team like Wigan Athletic.
Arranged freely, Arsenal's recent "unnatural" behavior finally found an opportunity to repay the debt in the last few games at the end of the season.
Religious superstitions have always been prevalent in Europe. After seeing such an article on the "law of cause and effect", many gun fans began to worry about Arsenal's second leg of the Champions League match.
A few days before going to the Bernabeu, countless gun fans spontaneously came to pray outside the Colney training base, hoping that the professor's team could at least hold on to the only two remaining Champions League games!
...
On April 26, fans from all over Europe gathered in Madrid.
There were huge crowds of people around the Bernabeu Stadium. Real Madrid fans, draped in team flags, came to the streets to support their team.
The Bernabeu looks like a dazzling pearl at night.
When the buses of the two teams slowly drove into the sight of the fans, a series of screams immediately erupted outside the stadium.
In another Champions League match that ended yesterday, Bayern Munich defeated Chelsea 2-1 at home and advanced to the Champions League final with a total score of 3-2.
Now, fans all over the world are focusing on the second leg of the contest between Real Madrid and Arsenal.
At the pre-match press conference the day before, Mourinho and the professor met again without the pretentious greetings they had in the first round.
Perhaps it was because the professor's smile after the victory at the Emirates Stadium said it was "disgusting". When he returned to his home court for the second round, Mourinho had a gloomy face the whole time.
They just defeated their arch-rival Barcelona 2-1 at the Bernabeu and completely secured the La Liga title.
The victory in the league boosted the morale of the Real Madrid players.
But as the coach, Mourinho's pressure has also doubled.
"I would like to ask Coach Jose, before the game, Cristiano, Pepe, Ramos and other players all expressed their confidence in defeating their opponents and achieving a comeback. So what do you think of this game?"
"It's a good thing for the players to have confidence, so that they can perform at their best."
"As for myself, I have nothing to say. I said everything I needed to say at the end of the last game. We will see the truth in the game."
When the reporters saw that Mu Niao was unwilling to speak more, they turned the microphone to Wenger.
"I would like to ask Coach Arsena, do you think the league loss just now will affect this Champions League knockout round? After all, Real Madrid just defeated Barcelona."
Wenger adjusted his collar.
Having defeated "Mourinho's inner demon", he once again showed the appearance of a university professor, gentle and elegant.
"There is no direct relationship between the two. The league is the league and the Champions League is the Champions League."
"There's no reason for us to lose such a big lead."
"I am convinced that we will be the ones who can advance to the finals!"
After hearing the professor's eloquent speech, Mu Niao on the other side couldn't help but glance at the professor with cold eyes.
Mourinho is a man of action.
Before his team can achieve the vision he envisioned, anything he says is in vain!
...
Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
The lights are bright.
The loud singing resounded throughout the sky, and the searchlights illuminated the entire night sky.
"...seeing to encounter the universe again..."
"...I can't help it, I want to fly at this moment..."
"...Stupid pig..."
"...and kick your sister..."
"...Don't kill Bayern..."
"...Thank you Barcelona..."
"...You want to kill our factory..."
"...Kick Barcelona..."
"...Kick Barcelona..."
"...Kick Bayern Munich...."
"...Our factory has collapsed..."
In the majestic theme song "Our Factory Has Collapsed", the gunners in red and white jerseys stepped on the Bernabeu lawn with vigorous steps.
The moment he came on stage, a burst of cheers erupted from a corner of the stands.
“My factory has collapsed!!!”
Among the many gunmen, only Lei Yu turned his head and looked over curiously.
"Ray, those are your fans!"
Seeing Lei Yu stop, Van Persie turned around and saw that the stands were full of Chinese fans.
"Lei, would you like to go over and say hello first?"
Lei Yu curled his lips and shook his head.
"Old Fan, if you knew what they were shouting, you would never want to go there!"
