The last two semi-finals of the Champions League will be decided, with Bayern Munich hosting AC Milan and PSV Eindhoven away to Liverpool. With a big away win in the last leg, Liverpool has already crossed into the semi-finals with one foot, and this game is just a passing pass for the Reds.

The only thing that will whet your appetite is the battle between Bayern Munich and AC Milan – who will have the last laugh and be the lucky ones to qualify?

The Allianz Arena is the blessed land of Bayern Munich.

Bayern have not lost a home match in the Champions League since the stadium opened last season. Bayern have a knack for dealing with Serie A teams in European competitions - neither Juventus, Inter Milan nor AC Milan last season were able to come out of the Allianz Arena?

Jonk could only be on the bench at the Allianz Stadium, waiting for the opportunity to play, which somewhat worried the media and fans who supported Milan, and the German media even laughed that Ancelotti was self-destructing the Great Wall.

Bayern played a heart-wrenching game in Milan last week, but Van Bommel was left on the sidelines because he was suspended. It was unbearable for a 'fighter', but luckily Van Bommel was finally able to get involved in this round back at home, and no one was looking forward to the Milanese battle more than him.

In the previous two seasons, Van Bommel met PSV Eindhoven and Barcelona in the semi-finals of the Champions League with AC Milan, and now he has met his old rivals, and Van Bommel has a desire to fight in his blood.

Despite knocking out his opponents with Barcelona a year ago, Van Bommel still remembers the heavy defeat two years ago. PSV Eindhoven lost 2-0 away at home despite a great 3-1 victory. But they can only watch their opponents advance to the finals. Therefore, Van Bommel hopes to make another comeback with Bayern this year. In addition to personal feuds, Van Bommel is also well aware of the feud between Bayern Munich and AC Milan. Especially last year's 4-1 defeat. "This is a good account between us."

Van Bommel sat in front of the TV during the away game, like most fans, accompanied by Bayern's psychologist and strength coach: "We were shouting, cheering and invecting all the time – and that's normal, of course. ”

Before the game, Van Bommel texted every team-mate who travelled to Milan to express his best wishes, and of course he had a part to contribute to the victory, but this time he could really make a difference on the pitch. Boss Hittsfield was as happy as he was about his return: "We all miss Mark. I miss the inspiration he brings to the team. ”

With Van Bommel's active scrambling, Bayern has another layer of certainty to contain AC Milan's offensive. And, of course, his goals. Van Bommel's crucial goal away at Real Madrid was an important factor, even a decisive factor, for Bayern to advance to the quarter-finals. Van Bommel is well aware of the value of his return to the team, but he remains cautious about the final outcome: "Not a single decision has been made. The game was certainly tougher for the Milanese than for us, but that didn't guarantee our qualification. ”

In the opinion of the Dutch. Bayern have only a little more chances than their opponents: "We have a 51% chance. The opponent is 49%. ”

Perhaps Van Bommel is Bayern's "1%" more than their opponents. In any case, he can finally watch the game without having to watch it in front of the TV, and whether he can become the "1%" initiative is in his own hands.

Just when Bayern was gearing up and waiting for this life-and-death battle to come, they received unfavorable injury news one after another: the main right-back Sagnol suffered a meniscus injury in the away game with Milan and will recuperate for three and a half months after surgery, and his place will be replaced by the youngster Leell; Argentinian De Michelis, who scored the equaliser in last Saturday's 2-1 win at Hannover 96, is also certain to be unavailable for this game due to a calf muscle injury. He was also joined by midfielder veteran Sauer (torn calf muscle fiber); Schweinsteiger, who scored the winning goal against Hannover, was plagued by a knee contusion, in the words of manager Heathfeld. Schweinsteiger's availability is "uncertain". If Schweinsteiger is unavailable, Otter, who has played well in the last two games, will continue to start.

The good news is that Hargreaves, Lucio and Salihamidzic, who have been hidden by Heathfeld for a game with minor muscle injuries, will definitely start. Dutch midfielder Van Bommel and main goalkeeper Kahn, who missed the first leg due to suspension, will also return, meaning that young man Rensing, who has performed well at the San Siro, will have to return to the cold bench.

"Van Bommel will strengthen the midfield, but it's not about the individual – the better team will win," said Heathfeld, confident of Bayern's first Champions League semi-final since 2001. I'm optimistic and beating Hannover is good news. As long as we're at our best, we have a chance. ”

In contrast, the problems faced by a slightly disadvantaged AC Milan have also been a headache for their boss Carlo Ancelotti. The main striker Gilardino received a third yellow card in the last game and was automatically suspended for this game. Jonk was given a rotational rest, and if nothing else, Inzaghi, known as Bayern's nemesis but battling a hamstring injury, will take on the responsibility of attacking the team. 'He's not in full form, but I'm confident he'll play.' Ancelotti said.

"I'm realistic and I believe we can do it [to win]," Carlo Ancelotti said in his pre-match press conference, "I know Milan and Bayern and I know we can cause problems for our opponents. Our goal is to play like at home. If we can do that, we have a chance to qualify. ”

"I don't think we should despair," echoed the Brazilian midfielder Kaka, who scored a penalty in the first leg and took it himself, "Bayern deserve respect, not only because of their history, but also because they have great players, but Milan can win in Munich." We believe we can beat them in front of their supporters. 'Can' doesn't mean we don't have to, but it's important for us to keep our heads high. ”

Meanwhile. "Milan Sport" lamented the defeat of Roma and rushed to give AC Milan a point, which is good. If Bayern Munich is won away at this time, and the championship trophy is won in the next three games, there is no doubt that the whole world will be impressed by the Italians.

AC Milan's situation is somewhat similar to that of Valencia, who have just been eliminated, and PSV Eindhoven, who have struggled to turn around. Several key players are out injured, but the Rossoneri are showing signs of being a little light-hearted, with Carlo Ancelotti unveiling his squad for the away game on Monday. The Rossoneri have as many as 11 defenders in the 21-man squad, with only Inzaghi and Jonk up front, and Pipo has been recovering from an injury since picking up an injury against Parma. The status is unknown. As for Jonker, Ancelotti has become an absolute protector of him in the league, and no one is allowed to have any accidents in Jonker, everyone knows that if the Milan forward line wants to play, he can only count on Jonker, and in the case of a slightly better situation in Milan, Ancelotti made a choice.

Mouthpiece outlet TGCOM says Pippo has only a 30 percent chance of playing. But the big war is imminent, and the possibility of Ancelotti setting off smoke bombs cannot be ruled out. The 34-year-old Inzaghi has been plagued by injuries this season. Only scored 8 goals in 32 games, but there is no doubt that as the Champions League scorer among Milan's active players, Inzaghi who scored 39 goals in 66 Champions League games is still the most lethal chess piece in the front line, Milan met Bayern last season, it was Inzaghi's brace at home that helped Milan eliminate Bayern with a 5-2 aggregate score, and meet again, even if the form is not 100%, Inzaghi will still bring a huge deterrent to the Bayern defense.

"Kicker" also sees Pippo as a high-profile figure in AC Milan's squad, largely because of his "San Siro tragedy" that led the 4-1 defeat of Bayern Munich last year. According to Sport, Milan will stick to the Christmas tree formation, with Kaka and Seedorf lying behind the lone striker. But in terms of Inzaghi's use, Ancelotti is likely to win by surprise, that is, to start Jonker and decide whether Inzaghi will play in the second half according to the scoreline, after all, in front of the slightly clumsy combination of Van Bitten-Lucio, Inzaghi's initiation and point grabbing have a big advantage after coming off the bench.

Milan's midfield is still relatively strong, and the combination of Pirlo, Gattuso and Ambrosini can be called top-notch. "TGCOM" believes that in the use of Ambu, Ancelotti will still stick to the old idea, that is, not to set a fixed dead position for the Milan team, especially at the end of the first half, and more to the front line to compete for the high point. Gattuso's task in the game is a bit heavier, Bayern's Van Bommel meets Milan for the third time in three years, and is all too familiar to the Rossoneri. Corriere della Sera pointed out that the cunning Dutchman would drive a wedge between Milan's defence and the forward line, focusing on Milan's depths and leaving the Rossoneri at the back.

Nesta's form has gradually recovered from injury and he will start in place of Kaladze and Maldini. Upon arriving in Munich, the team told Gallando, a reporter for the newspaper Sport, "Wait and see, we will advance to the semi-finals and then beat those strong opponents." "Who will defend the honor of Italy and who will defend the honor of the other 4 major leagues in Europe? "Bild" said, "1 win, 4 draws and 4 losses, Bayern's record against Milan is a bit miserable, but history does not represent the present." TGCOM said, "Bayern have made Chelsea play to the fullest, and AC Milan have at least shown that they can take Liverpool in 45 minutes." ”

When it came to the real game, the situation surprised everyone, and Milan led by two goals in the first half when they were not favored before the game.

Just one minute into the opening game, Inzaghi, who had the chance to start, burst into the penalty area and shot wide, and in the fourth minute, Otter barely tried to shoot wide.

In the 5th minute, Otto beautifully intercepted Lyle's breakthrough and defused the danger in front of the penalty area.

Bayern used home advantage to constantly try to attack, but Milan were more cautious.

In the 6th minute, Mackay forced Nesta to kick the ball off the line, and Bayern won the first corner of the game. In the 7th minute, Lyle received a pass from Van Bommel and shot a rebound ball. Dida didn't react to the ball and let it go over his body, but Odd followed up and cleared the ball on the goal line. In the 9th minute, Inzaghi successfully countered offside but did not control the ball. Kahn strikes to get the ball. Then, Mackay's shot from the edge of the box went wide.

In the 11th minute, Podolski's shot was saved by Dida, and Otter's follow-up shot was missed, and in the opening stage, Bayern, who had two away goals, was not conservative and completely overwhelmed AC Milan with an aggressive attack.

20th minute. Jankulovski's cross from the left was headed by Inzaghi but Kahn was cleared. In the 22nd minute, Lahm shook Gattuso's cross and was cleared by Nesta. 27th minute. Seedorf gave Milan the lead, Milan won a counter-attack, Kaka dribbled past two defenders to give the ball to Seedorf, and the Dutch midfielder dribbled past a defender at the edge of the box and fired a powerful low shot into the net. 1-0！ AC Milan leads 3-2 on aggregate!

After the goal. Milan's morale was boosted, in the 29th minute, Inzaghi received a pass from Janku and headed high, and in the 31st minute, Seedorf's beautiful back-heel pass helped Inzaghi successfully play the top corner of the goal against offside.

2-0, AC Milan leads 4-2 on aggregate! Inzaghi also scored his sixth goal against Bayern in the last four years, which can be called an out-and-out Bayern killer. In the 41st minute, Van Bommel took a free kick. Podolski's goalmouth rush was picked up by Dida in the final stages of the first half. Milan went on to play 2 in front, but Kaka's shot was denied by Van Bitten, and then Spanish referee Gonzalez blew the whistle at the end of the half, and the game ended the first half with AC Milan leading 2-0.

At the beginning of the second half, Bayern Munich replaced Otter with Santa Cruz to strengthen the attack, and in the 47th minute, Milan's cross from the side was cleared by Van Bitten. In the 50th minute, Mackay took the ball to the back post and was cleared by Jankulovski's header. In the 53rd minute, Lahm shook off Gattuso's cross and was cut off by Nesta, who was judged to be accurate. In the 54th minute, Lyle crossed from the right, and Odor cleared the ball and hit Salihamidzic and bounced off the bottom line. In the 56th minute, Van Bommel shot wide from distance. In the 58th minute, Salihamidzic made consecutive breakthroughs and was firmly stuck by Otto.

In the 61st minute, Bayern replaced Mackay with Pizarro, hoping to find a new change. In the 62nd minute, Van Bommel suddenly took a long-range shot, but Dida was well prepared to save the ball sideways. In the 62nd minute, Salihamidzic was shown a yellow card for a foul on Nesta and Gonzalez. In the 64th minute, Kaka shook off two defenders beautifully to form a one-on-one shot, and Kahn was well positioned to seal the ball with his feet, reserving Bayern's last hope. In the 66th minute, Salihamidzic stopped the ball and shot wide wide from 4 meters in front of the goal. Podolski's poor stop then allowed Nesta to clear the ball easily.

In the 68th minute, Van Bommel took a corner kick from a good spot, but Lucio pushed it to Nesta and missed the opportunity. In the 69th minute, Carlo Ancelotti replaced Inzaghi with Serginho and Kaka was pushed up front. In the 70th minute, Pizarro pushed a shot from the edge of the penalty area to hit the Milan defender out of the bottom line. In the second half, the Bayern Munich players looked rather disorganized on the pitch and there was no better way than to threaten Dida City with a long-range shot. In the 74th minute, Nesta again grabbed the ball before Pizarro to clear the ball. In the 77th minute, Hargreaves' free-kick went straight over the crossbar.

In the 78th minute, Salihamidzic suddenly hit the goal while breaking through with the ball, and was firmly held by Dida. In the 79th minute, AC Milan replaced Seedorf with Gourcuff to maintain the body of the midfield. In the 84th minute, Van Bommel shot from outside the penalty area from a tricky angle, Dida struggled to save the ball from the bottom line, and then, Pizarro hit the ball into the corner of the goal from an offside position, and from slow motion, the goal seemed to be misjudged again. In the 87th minute, AC Milan replaced Gattuso with Cafu to strengthen the defense.

Subsequently, Bayern Munich, who were unable to recover, could only reap the bitter consequences of a home defeat, and AC Milan advanced to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 5-2.

The 27th-minute goal was Seedorf's seventh in a 91st Champions League game, with his last goal coming in a Champions League qualifier against Red Star Belgrade on 23 August 2006, and the last time he scored in a regular match was in a group stage against Schalke 04 in September 2005.

To be fair, Seedorf didn't have many touches between the goals, as Bayern Munich held Milan under control, and if it weren't for Otto's hard work, the Rossoneri might have fallen behind early. But Seedorf showed his core character at crucial moments, and after receiving Kaka's pass, he shook off Van Bitten smoothly and fired a powerful low shot that Kahn couldn't do.

Four minutes later, Inzaghi's goal was a bit offside, but Seedorf's beautiful backheel pass alone was a wonderful result. After the game, UEFA named Seedorf the best of the match, commenting: "He didn't finish his performance after scoring a beautiful goal, giving Inzaghi a clever pass that killed Bayern Munich." Seedorf was efficient and practical in the game, conceding to Kahn City with just one shot in the game, and only seven errors in 38 possessions, effectively stabilizing the midfield as Kaka moved forward.

At the beginning of the game, Seedorf was originally on the left side, but Milan was pressed by Bayern's fierce attack at the beginning of the game, seeing that the situation was not good, the Dutchman began to frequently lean in the center, and handed over the left corridor to Jankulovski, who did not hesitate to run in this game also restrained Bayern's defense, the Czechs handled the ball 64 times, including 48 passes, 6 crosses, and won 5 duels while frequently assisting, which can be said to embody the all-round Suzhì at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.

In this game, in order to contain Bayern's strong overall strength, Ancelotti sent a 4-4-1-1 formation, in which, in the four midfielders, Seedorf has the most direct attacking ability. His dribbling and penetrating passes linked directly to the midfield, and under his leadership, Pirlo and Gattuso made 68 and 49 shots respectively, and although Milan were eight points behind in possession by 46% to 54%, they conceded a full 27 balls in Milan compared to Bayern, which made Milan's midfield passes look quick, concise and with few mistakes.

Speaking to UEFA after the game, Seedorf said: "My physical condition was not very good before that, but the coach gave me three or four days to recuperate, and this result is quite satisfactory for us. When asked about the victory, Seedorf gave credit to the strong whole: "We played well as a team and showed good mental strength, as long as we won I don't care if the tactics work for me or not, I have to say that the 2-0 win against Bayern is a very good result. ”

Seedorf also hit back at the criticism of AC Milan over the past week: "I don't want to prove anything, but I know that I and my team are working hard, we have the right attitude every day, and I'm happy that familiar team is starting to take shape again. Among his team-mates, Seedorf thanked Kaka heavily: "He gave me more space to attack, and he changed and adapted very well, and everyone tried to help the team win. ”

After the game, "Milan Sports Newspaper" focused on Seedorf's goal as a turning point in the game, although in the second half, limited Ancelotti's slightly conservative tactics, Seedorf was no longer as pressed as in the first half, but he still contributed 2 beautiful interceptions, and has a strong sense of defense, after he was replaced, UEFA technical statistics show that he ran more than 6000 meters throughout the field, which can be described as an out-and-out iron man.

Seedorf's attacking and long-range shots in the back row have become a weapon for the team to win in the face of adversity, and he has scored six goals in all competitions this season, ranking fourth in the team behind Jonker, Kaka and Gilardino, and it is commendable that almost every goal of Seedorf has brought the team three points, and Seedorf has given Milan the most solid help when Milan has been in a slump for most of this season. His outstanding performance in this game also gave people a glimpse of AC Milan's hope of regaining the championship league.

"Perhaps, this is not the best season in Milan." At the end of the interview, Seedorf still expressed strong confidence to reporters: "But if we play every game like we did today, we will be very difficult to beat, and if we can further improve the quality of the attack." (To be continued......)
