Arsenal has taken a great step forward, as the defending champions, no champion team has ever gone as far as Arsenal, even the Milan Dynasty, Galaxy Battleship and Dream II team all stopped in the quarter-finals, and the Red Devils Manchester United only reached the semi-finals.

After the game, Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, who likes to comment after the game, said, "Arsenal are too strong and have good luck, if they can't break this Champions League curse, then it will be difficult for any team to break this curse." ”

And Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger was naturally overjoyed after the game, humiliating his opponent Mourinho was sent to the stands, at the post-match press conference, Real Madrid only assistant coach Karanka attended, compared with a world-class coach like Wenger, Karanka naturally has no weight, Wenger has completely become the protagonist of the press conference, and the limelight is out.

“…… The big away win is a welcome but I want to hear better news about Schalke 04 tomorrow......"

'Some people like to do things off the pitch, some people like to do things on the pitch, I'm the latter, Jose Mourinho is the former, of course I'm not belittleing his coaching skills, it's everyone's habit.

"You can't defend your title when you reach the final, there is an old saying in the East, it is called 90 and half 100, and I hope the players will encourage themselves after the game." ……

Arsene Wenger was in a good mood with a mix of beautiful words and famous sayings, but Wenger did not forget to praise his players. "Their performance today is very exciting, much better than I imagined, they are all big players, of course I want to praise Li Huan in particular, although everyone may be tired of hearing it, I believe that without Li Huan there would be no big win today, and there will be no Arsenal's record this season, Li Huan's ability to break the deadlock is unprecedented, even the football king Maradona and Pele can't catch up with him, although he doesn't have the World Cup, I believe he still has the opportunity to become the first person in football, Of course, Cesc Fabregas and Arshavin are also today's heroes, and they and Li Huan are our three musketeers......"

In the face of Arsenal's domineering performance on the road, and the other two teams in the semi-final were also terrified, the manager of the Red Devils Manchester United Ferguson said helplessly, "Arsenal is invincible now, but whether we can win the championship or not, we must reach the final, and it is an honor for any team to be able to challenge Arsenal again." ”

Schalke 04's head coach Rangnick used to be Li Huan's coach, to his former disciple, Rangnick said emotionally again, "If I can go back to the past, I will never let Li Huan go, he is irreplaceable for me, and now Schalke 04 If there is Li Huan, I believe we will be able to win the Champions League trophy." ”

Although Schalke 04 was not strong enough to threaten Arsenal and the Red Devils were Arsenal's defeated men, Arsene Wenger and his coaching staff flew to Gelsenkirchen in Germany to watch the game live, while also ordering the players to watch it live at home and at the club.

Of course, the semi-final between Manchester United and Schalke 04 will not be as earth-shattering as Arsenal and Real Madrid, even if Manchester United is playing away from home, **** companies, journalists, fans, and even underground **** people are optimistic that the Red Devils will win.

However, the process of the game was full of twists and turns, after the game started, the Red Devils had a big advantage, people once had the illusion that the Fairtings Arena was Old Trafford, or even Carrington training base, but Manchester United was always scoreless, whether it was Ferdinand's header goal, or Giggs's single knife, whether it was a teammate's own goal or Rooney's long-range shot, it was saved by the God-possessed Schalke 04 goalkeeper Neuer. The commentator for Sky Sports in England joked: Half-time score: Manuel Neuer 0-0 Manchester United.

In the second half, Neuer's single-handedness against Manchester United continued, and the lack of points was like a curse that tormented Manchester United players and fans, because as long as fans who have watched the game for more than three years know that it is very dangerous to win without points, and often in the end it is the side that is not able to win.

Anxiety turned into joy in the 77th minute, and the seeds of happiness were sown by the Red Devils veteran Ryan Giggs, after receiving Rooney's through ball, the Welshman quickly cut in to form a single knife, and when facing the magical Neuer again, Giggs calmly pushed a left-footed shot into the bottom right corner of the goal, which was Giggs's 159th goal for Manchester United (first team), including 28 goals in the Champions League, second only to Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Just three minutes later, the Red Devils used their experience to take advantage of Schalke's instability, Valencia picked up a cross from the flank, Hernandez flicked the ball to Rooney, who calmly slotted the ball into the bottom left corner of the net to make it 2-0 and the Reds quickly extended their lead.

Hit by this, no one in the Schalkes can stand up and save the defeat like Li Huan of Hoffenheim, Raul is old after all, Hao Junmin? He didn't even appear for a minute. In the end, Schalke 04 lost 0-2 at home to Manchester United.

After the game, the British National News Agency even directly used the bold headline that Manchester United had one foot in the final, and the "Sun" was even more bold to say that Manchester United and Arsenal basically reached the final, and the Champions League will become a Premier League civil war.

At the press conference, Rangnick also admitted that the possibility of advancing to the final is very small, Schalke 04 has too little experience in Europe, but he still laughed at himself and said that Manchester United is also the runner-up in the final, so Schalke 04 is satisfied to reach the semi-finals.

The European **** company also proved that Rangnick's statement is not that he can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour, in the given championship ****, Arsenal is in first place, far more than Manchester United in second place, of course, Real Madrid and Schalke 04 won the championship **** can not be lower, in history, after the first leg of the semi-finals, it is the first time that the promotion situation is so clear.

The situation of Manchester United and Arsenal is so good that the entire British football world is like a frying pan, from the FA to the media to the fans, they have compared the current Premier League with the Serie A of the year, which was known as the mini-World Cup and was the highest league in the world.

The old "Times" claims that the best era of the Premier League has arrived, although the Premier League can often occupy half of the Champions League quarterfinals, but it does not have absolute dominance in the competition for the title, but after the decline of Liverpool, the emerging forces of the Premier League, Tottenham and Manchester City, have risen strongly, and Arsenal dominates the world, not only making up for the lack of Liverpool's degeneration, but also making the Premier League more competitive. It is believed that the era of Premier League domination of the Champions League will continue for another three to five years.

"The Sun" because of Li Huan and Cesc Fabregas on its columns, and Arsenal have a very good relationship, they believe that Manchester United with the old and weak soldiers actually reached the Champions League final, mainly because the Premier League champion lost the suspense early, if as in previous years, in late April and early May the league title competition is in full swing, Manchester United's veterans will certainly not have the physical support until now, and there will not be the current Premier League is likely to be the feat of the final.

"The Sun" also believes that the curse of defending the Champions League is almost inevitable, because whether it is Manchester United or Schalke 04 who reaches the final, it is impossible to threaten Arsenal, and now Arsenal is an alien team, as long as there is their game, other teams will only take the runner-up, this season's Premier League is like this, the league is not over, Arsenal has won all the winners, in the FA Cup, Arsenal also entered the final, their opponent is also from Manchester, but not Manchester United, It's Manchester City. But Manchester City are unlikely to hold back Arsenal from winning the title, with Arsenal likely to become the first team to win all of their titles this season.

"Sky Sports" senior critic Piree in his own column analysis of the Premier League's strong reasons, said, "In the past five years, only 09 years in the Premier League did not have a team to the semi-finals, three Premier League teams won the title, 08 Manchester United and Chelsea also had to meet in the final, this has a profound reason, in addition to the past ten years, Arsenal has continued to combine the technology of the continental team with the physical confrontation of the Premier League, the continuous entry of foreign capital also provides the necessary financial help for the rise of the Premier League." Foreign capital not only makes the club more advanced in terms of hardware facilities, but also attracts some big-name stars, superstars like Li Huan, without Kroenke's ownership, Arsenal has absolutely no hope of buying. ”

Pire also believes that although La Liga can gradually accept the entry of foreign capital, it will take some time for them to compete with the Premier League.

In addition to the British media, the European continental media have also discussed ways to deal with the Premier League teams, the German media believe that the Bundesliga should start from the academy, rather than absorbing foreign capital, foreign capital can certainly make the club strong for a while, but once foreign capital is withdrawn, the club may be greatly harmed.

Serie A believes that they should lower taxes and attract more big-name stars, instead of buying cheap newcomers and outdated old people, it is impossible to win the championship by relying on old people and children alone, just like Arsenal, if there is no Li Huan, Arshavin, Fabregas and others rise, they will continue to have the fate of no title.

Only the only Spaniards who can compete with the Premier League now are more flexible, and they believe that just as the British learn the techniques of the continental powers to beat the mainland, Spain should learn from the successful experience of the Premier League, absorb foreign capital, buy stars, and increase the competitiveness of the middle and lower teams, rather than just Real Madrid and Barcelona.
