The Prince of Inter Milan starts with Brother Xiaosa

Chapter 300 The first battle ends (Thanks to book friends Youth is Gone for the reward!)

Bayern winger Robben left the field due to injury during training the day before the Champions League, and it is said that he may miss the next day's game.

If this is not a smoke bomb deliberately released by Heynckes, then it is undoubtedly good news for Inter Milan.

The Bundesliga giants have been in pretty hot shape lately.

Since beating Hoffenheim 3-10 in the Bundesliga on March , Bayern Munich has won five consecutive victories in a month while fighting on three fronts!

Not only that, these five consecutive victories also include big wins such as 7-0 Basel and 6-0 Hertha Berlin. It is simply a peak!

For this reason, Inter Milan fans are also a little worried about whether the team's defense, which has conceded a lot of goals recently, can withstand the opponent's powerful offensive line.

On March 3, the Champions League quarter-finals, Inter Milan vs. Bayern Munich at home, is about to begin!

Not surprisingly, Bayern used a starting lineup of 4,231 in the away game.

Center forward Gomez, Robben and Ribery are on the wings, Muller is the attacking midfielder, and Gustavo and Toni Kroos are the midfielders.

Left back Alaba, right back Lahm, Boateng and Badstuber partnered with center back and goalkeeper Neuer.

"Little Pig" Bastian Schweinsteiger, who returned from injury, did not start today but sat on the bench.

Robben, who was previously reported to be injured, not only started the game, but also looked alive and kicking.

"It's really a smoke bomb. You know they are very sinister."

Inter Milan, with Pirlo absent due to injury, also responded with a 4,231 formation.

Balotelli's single arrow, Bale and Neymar flew together on both wings.

Leo is the attacking midfielder, Modric and De Rossi are in the midfield.

Left back Kolarov, right back Zanetti, Bonucci and Ranocchia partnered as central defenders, and the goalkeeper was Handanovic.

After the game started, neither side played conservatively and dared to invest troops in the offense in order to score first and take advantage of the opportunity.

Robery's reputation as a winger has long been known, but the wing combination of Bale and Neymar seems not to be as famous as them.

Even the name of the two people's group is not clear.

Is it called the "Bale" combination, Bale's Bell plus Neymar's Bell, or is it called "Neymar", Neymar's Neymar plus Bell's Bell.

Of course, this is just a joke. The eyes of these two young people from Inter Milan are burning with fire and they are already full of fighting spirit!

In the second minute of the game, Leo made a direct pass from the front, and Gareth Bale accelerated past Ram and made a timely pass before the opponent could catch up.

At the back point, Neymar got rid of Alaba and followed up with a low left-footed shot, but Neuer struggled to lift it out!

Balotelli made a supplementary shot into the penalty area, but the ball missed the far post.

Bayern responded immediately, Kroos passed the ball, Gomas headed back, and Muller scored again.

This series of passing and receiving was very skillful. Robben dribbled the ball from the right and broke into the penalty area!

Robben got an excellent chance to hit the goal after passing Kolarov in the penalty area. Unfortunately, his feet slipped a little and he was unable to complete the shot in the first time.

After a slight adjustment, he fell to the ground under the physical confrontation of the Inter Milan defender, but the referee did not call a penalty kick.

After getting up, Mr. Luo raised his hands in confusion and appealed to the referee Caballo from Spain.

But Caballo ignored it.

The Nerazzurri in the stands of Meazza applauded the referee for this fair decision.

Today's Champions League match against Bayern directly caused Inter Milan's home court to be overflowing again.

Nearly 80,000 people flocked to the Meazza, and the venue was packed.

Of course, this confrontation, which can be called a Champions League final, should not disappoint everyone's enthusiasm.

The home team didn't care so much and immediately launched a counterattack.

Bonucci made a long pass from the backcourt, and Balotelli grabbed the spot without fear of Boateng's physical confrontation.

After calling back to Leo, Balotelli immediately turned around and made a running move.

Bale and Neymar also came quickly from both sides!

Since Ancelotti has relieved several of their defensive tasks, they must accordingly make a large enough contribution to the team on the offensive end.

Before Bayern's defensive players could get back into position, Leo kicked the ball to the left side of the penalty area.

Bell's left foot volleyed out of the angle and aimed at the near corner of the goal!

Neuer reacted quickly in front of the goal and flew to save the ball!

Balotelli's close-range follow-up shot was blocked by Neuer again with his leg stretched out!

Neymar's follow-up shot from a small angle on the right hit the side net of the goal!

The die-hard Nerazzurri fans at the scene let out bursts of exclamations in the stands. In the end, they could only hold their heads in regret when the ball was not scored.

Leo also stood there with his hands on his hips, shaking his head and smiling bitterly.

Why do they feel like they can meet god-level goalkeepers wherever they go?

Are there so many top goalkeepers in the entire football world? Or are there many who are most excited when they meet Inter Milan?

There is no need to detail the cheating goalkeepers we encountered in the past. In the last two games, we faced Buffon in the last round of the league, and today we have to face Neuer again.

A shot that should normally be a sure shot will come up empty-handed when faced with them.

After two consecutive superb saves to resolve the crisis, Neuer stood up and roared, boosting the morale of the away team.

Bayern took a goal kick, and their frontcourt offensive players instantly spread out and pressed near Inter Milan's penalty area.

Alaba crossed to the left and Gomez forced his head to attack the goal in the middle of the penalty area under Ranocchia's close guard!

The ball was blocked by Handanovic!

Muller's movement skills were magical, and he got rid of De Rossi's entanglement immediately and went straight into the penalty area!

Before Bonucci had time to clear the ball, Muller took the lead and shot back!

Fortunately, Handanovic was not distracted. He stood up and made another magical save to suppress Muller's close shot!

"call--"

Nerazzuri, who was extremely nervous just now, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, we have Handanovic.

Yes, your Neuer is very good, but our Handanovic is no worse than you.

Looking up at the big screen, the score on the field was zero to zero. The game had only lasted less than ten minutes, but it felt like it had been played for a long time.

In just a few minutes, the two teams attacked at an extremely fast pace. Their rapid counterattacks and continuous cooperation were dazzling.

Fans, especially neutral fans, enjoyed watching it, but the players on the field were not so happy.

Bayern Munich, which gained a foothold in the away game, showed no mercy and launched a series of fierce attacks.

In the 11th minute, Alaba broke through to the frontcourt and cut inside to the outside of the penalty area. His heavy shot went over the crossbar.

Two minutes later, Ribery made continuous breakthroughs from the left. He brought the ball horizontally to the penalty area and passed the ball, which hit the Inter Milan defender and bounced into the penalty area!

After receiving the ball, Muller took a hasty shot while stumbling, and the ball was taken by Handanovic.

Ram made a pass from the right, and it was Gomez's header in front of the small penalty area that missed the crossbar and went out of the baseline!

The visiting team's successive attacks were indeed quite threatening, but fortunately the Nerazzurri defended solidly and did not concede the ball easily.

After being briefly suppressed by Bayern, Inter Milan, playing at home, regained its momentum and began a counterattack.

Modric and Leo played a wonderful passing game in the center circle and broke through two Bayern defensive players.

Kroos tackled Modric to the ground from behind!

The referee Caballo's whistle sounded in time to stop the game.

Cross committed a serious foul and received a yellow card.

Then Bayern's captain Lahm stepped forward to defend himself, but was also shown a yellow card by the referee.

After receiving two yellow cards at once, the situation on the field seemed to have shifted somewhat.

In the 28th minute, Alaba assisted again on the left and passed the ball to the right with a wide range of transfer.

After receiving the ball, Lahm made a pass. Robben started to cut in from the right. Kolarov ignored the marking and forced his left foot to attack the goal!

How could Handanovic not guard against the Dutchman's move? The Inter Milan goalkeeper who was well prepared bravely picked the ball off!

Inter Milan's quick counterattack!

Audiences who were familiar with Inter Milan had already stood up excitedly, cheering and cheering for the team in the stands!

Leo raised his head and glanced around, observing the situation in the opponent's half, then took two steps forward and made a long pass!

The ball flew to the left side of the front court! Or the ball passed to Bale!

The Welsh flying wing was activated the moment Leo was about to pass the ball, and he left all the defensive players behind in one swift move!

Knowing that Inter Milan had Bale, Bayern still dared to press so high that even the defender passed half time.

It can be seen that they are very confident, even a little too confident.

Bell cleverly stopped Leo's long pass with just one click.

Although Leo's pass is comfortable, the distance and strength are here. Bell's ability to stop the ball with ease while running at high speed fully reflects his skills and ball feel.

After all, in ten years the forward who can stop his teammates' short passes ten meters away will be able to play the main role in the Premier League giants.

A chance to stand alone! The only obstacle between him and the goal is the opponent's goalkeeper Neuer!

Without hesitation, Bell moved his right foot and took the ball diagonally toward the Bayern fans!

Neuer did not hesitate for a moment and decisively abandoned the goal and faced Bell who had the ball.

If Bell, who played for Tottenham in the past, has excellent speed and skills, he still lacks experience and confidence.

The Welshman now playing for Inter Milan has become more mature.

Neuer attacked and jumped in front of Bell at a speed far beyond that of an ordinary goalkeeper, but Bell still did not panic at all.

Just when Bale slowed down, the Bayern goalkeeper flew towards the ball!

I have to say that Neuer is very brave and he dared to make such a tackle under such circumstances.

Bell smiled. He buckled his left foot and took a step forward to the left to avoid Neuer's flying tackle.

Immediately afterwards, before Neuer could react, Bell succeeded in pushing the empty goal with his left foot!

One to zero!

Inter Milan, playing at home, took the lead in breaking the deadlock on the field!

Bell showed love and rushed to the sidelines, and Leo also ran to the stands and waved to the fans above.

Under Leo's instigation, the Nerazzurri at the scene broke out into a huge noise!

This is the advantage of the home court. The momentum of more than 70,000 people is still amazing.

Even if most of Bayern's players are experienced players and will not be disturbed, as long as even one player is affected, it will be a profit.

Bayern was unwilling to let the home team score the first goal. They actively fought and strengthened their offensive.

Robben went straight into the penalty area, and Muller understood it. Unfortunately, he did not choose to shoot directly from a small angle, and his pass was cleared by Ranocchia in time!

Alaba dared to get into such a deep position, and his long-range shot from outside the penalty area failed to hit the goal frame.

Soon after, Gustavo passed the ball, and Muller ran straight into the middle. Under the pressure of the defensive player, he staggered and fell into the Inter Milan penalty area!

The referee also ignored it. Before the Inter Milan defender touched Muller, the opponent's soles were already weak. The first half lasted for more than half an hour, and most of Bayern's attacks were launched from the right side.

Ribery was unable to perform in the defense Ancelotti designed specifically for him.

Zanetti basically did not participate in the offense today, focusing most of his energy on Inter Milan's defense on the right.

De Rossi turned around to pull the ball and was tackled fiercely by Gustavo. Bayern's midfielder also received a yellow card for this.

The half of the game is not over yet, and three Bayern players have been given yellow cards by the referee.

It can be seen that their defense is very tough, and Inter Milan's offense does put a lot of pressure on them.

Leo's precise direct pass hit the back of Bayern's defense. Fortunately, Neuer struck in time to resolve the danger.

Leo gave Balotelli a hard look. If you had run faster, you would have caught the ball.

Ba Shen shrank his neck, not daring to look at Leo.

In the 39th minute, Ribery had no choice but to return the ball to the struggling Zanetti on the left, and Kroos took a long shot from outside the penalty area!

The ball was blocked out of the baseline by Inter Milan's defensive players.

Then Bayern's corner kick was taken by Handanovic without any threat.

Inter Milan once again launched a quick counterattack. Neymar received Leo's pass and entered the Bayern penalty area to shoot from a small angle!

Neuer fell to the ground and blocked the ball with his feet!

Bayern captain Lahm, who returned to defense in time, used his experience to cause Neymar's foul and completely resolved the crisis.

Neymar was a little dissatisfied with his performance, after all, Bale had seized similar opportunities before.

Leo stepped forward and patted the Brazilian on the back to comfort him:

"It's okay, there will be opportunities later."

Neymar looked at Leo seriously and nodded.

Bayern center back Badstuber made a mistake in clearing the ball and the ball was intercepted by Balotelli!

Bashen stole the ball and broke through to the small penalty area before kicking a low shot into the near corner of the goal. Fortunately, Neuer fought hard to save and hold the ball tightly.

Does this work too?

I can't remember how many times Leo has asked this question recently.

Sure enough, a good goalkeeper is worth half the team.

For example, if it weren't for Neuer's heroic performance today, Inter Milan would probably have won the game by now.

At the end of the first half, Inter Milan, playing at home, temporarily led Bayern 1-0.

Although there was only one goal in the first half, the offensive and defensive contest between the two teams was very exciting.

"Today is only the first round of the game, so in the second half we must not only continue to score goals to expand the lead, but also try to be careful not to let the opponent score away goals."

With Ancelotti's instructions still ringing in his ears, Bayern, which was lagging behind at the start of the second half, launched a fierce offensive into the home team's hinterland.

In the 46th minute, Ram stole Bell and launched a counterattack!

Robben broke through and sent a wonderful direct pass, and Gomez pushed directly in front of the penalty area!

Although Handanovic fought hard to save and hit the ball, he still couldn't stop the ball from entering the net!

One to one!

Bayern managed to equalize the score at the beginning of the second half!

And they also gained a valuable away goal.

Leo sighed, this is not possible, are they going to stop here?

Kolarov dunked Boateng on the left and passed in. Balotelli, who was outflanking in the middle, forced himself to get rid of Badstuber's marking, but Balotelli's header was slightly higher than the crossbar.

Robben cut inside the right side of the penalty area and passed the ball to the back point. It was Handanovic who struck out in time to get the ball.

Neymar made a cross from the right, and Balotelli once again headed the ball towards the goal, but unfortunately Bayern goalkeeper Neuer performed steadily and caught the ball steadily.

In the 59th minute, Robben made a diagonal pass in front of the goal, leaving a gap on the right, and Muller made a low pass.

Gomez, who was unguarded at the penalty spot, shot a low shot with his right foot but Handanovic fell to the ground and blocked it!

The two sides were going back and forth, fighting each other, and the scene was very lively.

But as time went by, the mood of the players on Inter Milan's side gradually fluctuated.

In particular, the movements of several young players in the frontcourt were somewhat deformed under the huge pressure.

Ancelotti certainly noticed this, but he did not rush to make substitutions.

The Inter Milan coach is waiting, he is waiting for them to adjust themselves.

Or, someone can help them adjust.

In the 66th minute, Boateng made a mistake and accidentally lost the ball under Leo's pressure!

After stealing the ball in the frontcourt, Leo quickly dribbled the ball to the edge of the opponent's penalty area.

Leo didn't kick the ball by himself. After observing it, he pushed the ball gently to the feet of Balotelli, who was in a better position.

However, Neuer, who was well prepared, blocked the angle and blocked Balotelli's close shot from the bottom line!

Bell took a corner kick from the right, and Bonucci's high-flying header was punched out by Neuer!

But the crisis has not been resolved!

Leo controlled the second penalty kick from the outside and broke into the middle of the penalty area!

Then a powerful low shot shot out accurately from the gap in the crowd!

Neuer's sight was blocked by players in the penalty area and he did not see Leo's shot immediately.

By the time he reacted and wanted to fall to the ground to save, the ball had already hit the right post and entered the dead center of the goal!

Two to one!

Inter Milan takes the lead again!

"Leo!"

"Leo!"

"Leo!"

The cheers of Inter Milan fans echoed throughout Meazza, and they shouted Leo's name loudly.

"Sure enough, it has to be Leo at the critical moment!"

"Yeah, other people are unreliable!"

"But it's only two to one. It's still not safe to go to the away game in the second round."

Bayern made the first adjustment, Tymošchuk came off the bench to replace Toni Kroos.

Coach Heynckes may want to use this substitution to strengthen the visiting team's interception ability in the midfield.

The Nerazzurri continued their attack, not satisfied with a 2-1 victory.

If you don't win enough advantages at home, you can't blame others when you are unfortunately eliminated in the away game.

Fortunately, when Leo's goal helped the home team regain the lead, Neymar's nervous situation improved significantly.

In the 72nd minute, Ribery made a pass from the left, Muller cleverly moved around in the penalty area, and Robben followed up with a powerful left-footed volley towards the goal!

The angle of the ball was tricky and powerful, but Handanovic did not disappoint the fans and made a flying save to block the ball bravely!

The Nerazzurri captain took the ball from the right and staged a long-distance attack. Alaba flew and tackled Zanetti to the ground!

"Liu Xing" was also given a yellow card by the referee.

However, Zanetti's injury seemed serious and he was unable to continue the game and was replaced by David Thornton.

After the game restarted, Bayern strengthened its defense and no longer invested heavy troops in the offense.

Maybe they are already satisfied with the 1-2 score in the away game?

In the 78th minute, Bayern star Franck Ribery, who had been taken care of by his opponents throughout the game, was replaced by Planic.

Two minutes later, Thomas Muller was also replaced, and Schweinsteiger, who returned from injury, came on as a substitute.

Even if Bayern accepts the current score, Inter Milan cannot accept it.

But facing the Bundesliga overlord who was fully defensive, the defending champion could not find a particularly good way.

The visiting team tried to slow down the tempo of the game, and Leo tried his best to drive his teammates to continue organizing the offense.

Once again, Leo scored the ball after breaking away from the defense in the frontcourt. David Thornton cut in from the right and was tackled by a Bayern defensive player.

Bastian Schweinsteiger, who just came on as a substitute, received a yellow card for a foul and will miss the second round due to accumulation of yellow cards.

Gomez got the ball in the penalty area, but unfortunately the Bayern center was too hesitant and missed the opportunity to shoot.

Leo launched a counterattack!

David Thornton drove the ball straight in from the right!

Neymar caught the ball and cut into the right side of the penalty area. He dunked the defender with his left foot and fired hard!

Neuer makes a flying save!

The ball bounced off the ground and changed course, just past the Bayern goalkeeper's left hand and into the goal!

Three to one!

Neymar's goal helped Inter Milan extend their lead to two points!

The Nerazzurri were still not satisfied and continued to attack in the final stages of the game.

However, Bayern did not give them another chance, and the score of three to one was maintained until the end of the game.

Inter Milan defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 at home to take the lead in their two-leg Champions League quarter-final clash.

However, Bayern also took away an away goal from Meazza, and they are confident that they can return home to complete the comeback!

"How can I put it, today Bayern successfully prevented us from scoring more goals with their fierce defense.

They received five yellow cards alone and countless vicious fouls, many of which escaped the referee's punishment.

Fortunately, our players were not intimidated by them and still performed to their best.

When we go to their home court in the second round, I believe our team can also win and double-defeat our opponents to advance to the semi-finals! "

Bayern coach Heynckes dismissed Ancelotti's accusations.

"I think the referee's penalties today were too harsh. Many of them were just normal physical confrontations but were called fouls.

Although we lost to Inter Milan away from home, I believe we can defeat our opponents when we return home.

The away-before-home schedule is good for us and it's good to have our fans cheering us on when it's a matter of life and death for promotion. "

This is the end of the first round, and the second round will start on time a week later!
