AC Milan only saved its ticket to the final with its life-saving goal at home. Although Hiddink only said it was a pity after the game, everyone could see that this guy was still a little disappointed.

After all, PSV Eindhoven almost copied the miracle of reversal created by Deportivo La Coruna last year. They were just a little bit behind by two goals and could deal with those Italians at San Siro Stadium.

But they still lost this damn game. After 90 thrilling minutes, PSV Eindhoven could only watch AC Milan take the ticket to the final, and they could only wait for the breakup in the summer.

But the loss of this game also sounded the alarm for AC Milan. Including Ancelotti, many Italian media also used the word lucky when commenting on this game.

AC Milan has never lost since the group stage, but they fell into a big fall on PSV Eindhoven, and it was at their home court, and they were knocked down by the opponent so embarrassedly.

Shevchenko, Kaka, Thomason, these offensive players who were originally expected to play well, suddenly all disappeared.

Even some Italian media with bad mouths secretly criticized Ancelotti's use of players, "No matter how good or bad the state is, as long as Shevchenko is on the court, Ancelotti's main striker will not change."

This is Shevchenko's ninth official game in the past month, and he has been present in all games. This makes the Ukrainian, who has always been in a very stable state, unable to endure this long-term, continuous, and high-intensity confrontation.

In four consecutive games, the Ukrainian has scored three goals and one assist. Even if it is extremely impossible to maintain a constant frequency of operation, Shevchenko's state has indeed had problems under fatigue.

Sheva himself privately admitted to familiar media reporters before the game: "We are indeed a little tired."

But even such an exhausted Sheva had to fight hard in the home game, and he did not score a key goal and had to accept the boos from the San Siro fans, which really hurt the Ukrainian a little.

"It would be great if Shevchenko was in this state in the final." This is Terry's prayer.

However, if the current situation continues, it seems that this is not impossible. After all, AC Milan has not completely secured its runner-up position in the league, and they still have to fight a fierce battle with Juventus.

This news is good news for Mourinho. The more tired an opponent is, the more he likes it.

Mourinho has never been the kind of person who likes to challenge high difficulties. For him, the simpler the process of winning the championship, the better, just like when he led Porto to beat Monaco last season, Giuly suddenly left the field due to injury.

If he could encounter Shevchenko's poor state in Istanbul, or AC Milan suddenly began to short-circuit, it would definitely be the best result for him. A simple victory is the most practical.

It is estimated that no one would deliberately create trouble for himself when there is no trouble, especially on the way to winning the championship.

But before considering AC Milan as the final opponent, Chelsea should be on guard against Liverpool suddenly going crazy at Stamford Bridge like PSV Eindhoven.

Although this possibility is small, Mourinho does not want his unbeaten record at home to be broken by Benítez.

And he does not want his players to have such a roller coaster-like promotion experience. He is not a lunatic, and he does not want to be like Ancelotti, who has a heart attack when watching the game at home.

"I want to live two more years." Mourinho specifically warned his players to concentrate before the game.

AC Milan's experience can be regarded as a shot of vaccination for Chelsea, but compared with PSV Eindhoven, which has a very relaxed mentality, it is obvious that Benítez is not as calm as Hiddink.

The Spaniard also said to the Liverpool media reporters before the game, "Since PSV Eindhoven can give their opponents a failed ending at San Siro, why is there no hope for us Liverpool?"

"San Siro has only lost two games this season. Those Italians have not even lost in the Champions League, but isn't that also a loss? We will also bring Chelsea a defeat at Stamford Bridge."

When Lin Yi saw the Spanish bald man talking like this, he really didn't know where the other party got such courage from, or how did he see the hope of reversal from Hiddink?

"Is this guy a fantasy guy? He really dares to think, but who gave him the courage?"

It is estimated that only Benítez himself can understand how he dared to say such a cruel word. Did he forget that this is Stamford Bridge? Or has this guy been confused again by the entanglement of the outside world?

Lin Yi now just wants to go on the court and use practical actions to wake up the guy who makes him intolerable. Wake up, you Spanish idiot, reversal? Do you have that life? The only outcome that awaits you is being eliminated!

Others may not react so strongly, but Lin Yi has not forgotten the bruised ribs from the first round.

This is his territory, and now it's his turn to teach that shady Spanish bald man a lesson.

Benítez certainly doesn't know that Lin Yi is holding back now, and he may only be thinking about how to keep his position.

However, his declaration did not change the views of those who looked down on him, including those tricky football commentators, who also bet on Benítez's future on TV. Many people said that after this game, the two new American owners of Liverpool would not give Benítez any chance to stay.

Now even those bookmakers are opening Benítez, and everyone is betting on when he can be fired.

Reversal? Maybe someone like Hiddink can do it, but Benítez definitely can't, because he doesn't have the courage.

This is not that the English media can belittle Benítez's ability, but his conservatism and rigidity have offended too many people, including his players, who are now full of distrust of this head coach.

It cannot be said that this is not a kind of sadness. In less than a season, Benítez has fallen from the clouds to the mortal world. Not only in the league results, he has created the lowest points of Liverpool in the past ten years.

Moreover, he has turned the team from a sharp offensive red army into a toothless tiger. So far this season, Liverpool's offensive ability can only rank in the middle and lower reaches of the Premier League clubs.

This has to be said to be a shame. Don't forget that when Owen was there, they were the top three offensive teams every year, and sometimes even Arsenal and Manchester United could only look up to Liverpool's smooth offensive.

It can be said that in the league in the past few years, Liverpool was not because they couldn't attack, but because they couldn't defend.

They have been missing the league mostly because of poor defense, not offensive problems, but now it's good. After Benítez's tinkering, let alone defense, now even the offensive advantage has been lost.

"That guy is unlucky enough. He caught up with the most depressed Liverpool team in recent years. The main strikers such as Owen left the team one after another, and the defense line encountered a lack of successors. It is difficult for such a team to achieve good results."

Mourinho sometimes sympathized with Benítez, but it was only for a moment. Every time he had this idea, he would see the Spanish bald man start another round of fighting in front of the TV camera.

It can only be said that Mourinho and Benítez will probably never be able to solve this knot in this life. It is basically impossible.

However, the Liverpool team, which was short of soldiers, was rarely ready to fight to the death on the road. After losing half of the defense line, Benítez could only go all out in offense. He did not hold back this time. When the team was behind 0-2, he sent out a tactical combination of two strikers in the starting lineup for the first time.

Baros plus Morientes, with Riise and Kewell on the wing, and with Luis Garcia's back row, this lineup still looks a bit impactful, not to mention Gerrard is behind to support.

However, when Benítez saw Chelsea's starting lineup, his scalp was still a little numb. After ten days of rest, the Blues are not as tired as AC Milan. These beasts are now full of energy, especially the black-haired kid. Before going on the court, he was already a little eager to try.

Never expect Chelsea to slack off, just like never expecting Lin Yi to perform abnormally. As long as the kid is on the court, he will seize every opportunity and desperately attack the opponent's defense line.

It can't be said that Liverpool has not tried hard, but in the case of a serious lack of main players in the back, do you think it is possible for them to block Chelsea's offensive? Anyway, those Liverpool fans think it is impossible.

Benítez's naive reversal lasted less than 30 minutes. When Chelsea made the sixth shot in the first half, Dudek's goal was once again broken by Chelsea's attack.

And the black-haired kid once again became the devil in Benítez's eyes. For the fifth time, the fifth match of this season, Benítez suddenly found sadly that he still couldn't find a way to curb the kid.

One to zero, such a score is enough for Chelsea to advance to the Champions League final, and Mourinho can also wave goodbye to the Spaniard who has been entangled with him for a season. Benítez's dismissal is already doomed.

Lin Yi was substituted five minutes before the end of the game. When he left the field, the whole Stamford Bridge stadium was filled with crazy shouts, "Angel! Lin Yi, you are our angel! You are the most amazing football genius!"

Lin Yi was used to such shouts. He just waved his hands around the stadium. For him, the Champions League final was the most important stadium. At that time, he wanted to let such shouts fill the stadium again.

He didn't forget that there was a little witch watching the Champions League final. Losing the game in front of her would definitely be very embarrassing. AC Milan? Sorry, I'm not used to accepting failure. . .
