Football: The strongest post-zero generation.

Chapter 339: Defending the Dignity of the Premier League
在安菲尔德球场结束的2017-2018赛季欧冠1/4决赛首回合赛事最终以利物浦4：0胜利告终，手握四个净胜球的利物浦几乎是大半只脚迈进本赛季欧冠四强。

In another game that was changed to the Allianz Stadium in Turin last year, Juventus lost 0:3 at home to defending champion Real Madrid. Real Madrid's leading striker Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, which was the biggest contributor to Real Madrid's victory over Juventus as a guest.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who should have been the focus of the world, was robbed of the limelight by Li Qing from the British Peninsula. The strong dialogue and scoring twice should indeed be the subject of hot discussion among the media and fans. The problem is that Li Qing, who performed a hat-trick, will not be able to perform personally this season. The number of goals scored in the Champions League increased to 17.

This goal number is the single-season scoring record set by Ronaldo when he led Real Madrid to win the 2013th Champions League title in team history in the 2014-10 season. Now it has been tied in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, which means Li Qing is likely to break Ronaldo's single-season Champions League scoring record.

In fact, not many people will be surprised that Li Qing broke the goal record set by Ronaldo, because Li Qing scored 12 goals in the group stage in four starts and one substitute, surpassing Ronaldo's single-season group stage scoring record. , only played in the first round of the two rounds of the Champions League 1/8 finals, which means that Li Qing's 17 goals only took six games and one substitute appearance.

You must know that Ronaldo participated in all thirteen games of Real Madrid in the 2013-2014 season!

The British media and the Chinese media gave Li Qing all the praiseworthy words, but the media in the Iberian Peninsula disagreed. They believed that the opponents Liverpool faced in the Champions League this season were not strong, and they faced Cristiano Ronaldo in the 2013-2014 Champions League. The opponents are very different.

Li Qing's strongest opponent in the Champions League this season is Atletico Madrid, followed by Roma. Porto and Sevilla faced in the 1/8 finals and 1/4 finals can only be said to be strong teams if not strong teams.

The fans were so deliberately guided that they really thought Li Qing's goal lacked gold content.

However, the English media looked back and found that Real Madrid’s opponents in the UEFA Champions League in the 2013-2014 season were also not that good...

In the group stage, they were in the same group as Galatasaray, Copenhagen, and Juventus. Except for Juventus, which was pretty good, Copenhagen and Galatasaray were basically just accompanying the prince to study. Schalke was drawn in the 1/8 finals. The draw of Dortmund in the 04 and quarter-finals was considered a top draw, and even the draw of Bayern in the semi-finals was a Bayern that was already on the decline, which was not convincing at all.

If it weren't for Ramos's equalizing goal in the final against Atletico Madrid at the end of stoppage time, how would Real Madrid have won the championship?
Without that goal, overtime would no longer exist, and Ronaldo, who scored on penalty kicks, would not even have set a record of 17 goals!
As a result, the English media and the Iberian Peninsula media started fighting, and even fans of Li Qing and Ronaldo started fighting on the Internet.

Messi fans are relatively bored during this period. In order to prevent chaos in the world, they will help whichever side lacks support, always maintaining that the two sides are on the same page...

Li Qing, who tied Cristiano Ronaldo's single-season Champions League scoring record, was not as excited as the outside world. For him, tying the record is just a natural thing. If he can appear at the Pizjuan Stadium in the second round, he will have the chance. Confidence breaks records in one fell swoop.

On the second Champions League match day in midweek, Barcelona beat Chelsea 4:1 at Camp Nou, and Bayern Munich defeated Manchester City 3:0.

Regarding this result, the English media did not expect that Chelsea's overall strength is indeed not as good as Barcelona. The problem is that Manchester City and Bayern Munich are 50-50, how can they win with three goals in the away game?
In the history of the Champions League, there are really few teams that can come back from three goals behind on the away game and come back at home.

Judging from the results of the four Champions League quarter-finals, only Liverpool, which defeated Sevilla by four goals at home, is the Premier League team with the best chance of advancing to the Champions League semi-finals.

Of course, Chelsea and Manchester City, who lost as guests, did not admit that they were eliminated. Both Conte and Guardiola believed that the second leg was the game that determined the final place in the semi-finals.

结束欧冠1/4决赛首回合的利物浦迅速将专注度放回到联赛，也就是做古迪逊公园球场杨挑战同城死敌埃弗顿。2017-2018赛季英超第33轮联赛除了默西赛德郡德比，还有曼彻斯特德比和伦敦德比。

Manchester City plays against Manchester United at home, and Chelsea plays against West Ham United at home. The two teams still have the task of the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals in the middle of next week. Compared with having entered the semi-finals more than half a foot ahead of schedule, the futures of Manchester City and Chelsea are full of opportunities. Uncertainty.

Liverpool's four-goal victory at home gives the Merseyside derby at the weekend a lot of room for maneuver, and they can fully use their main players if allowed.

Li Qing, Salah and Mane each scored a goal in the first and second half to help Liverpool defeat Everton 3:1 at Goodison Park and gain their 30th win of the season.

Perhaps because they were preparing for the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals at home against Bayern Munich in the middle of next week, Manchester City, which was sitting at the Etihad Stadium, held back. In the end, its city rivals Manchester United scored the winning goal at the end of the game. They suffered their second defeat of the season with a score of 1:4.

2017-2018赛季英超第33轮全面结束，少赛一场的利物浦以30胜2平积92分排名榜首，曼城33战27胜3平3负积83分排名第二，曼联22胜5平5负积68分排名第三，热刺以19胜7平5负积64排名第四。

Liverpool is nine points ahead of Manchester City with one game in hand. Manchester City has five league games left, while Liverpool has six. This means that Liverpool can win the 2017 title as long as they defeat Bournemouth and West Brom. -2018 Premier League champions.

Why?

Manchester City is currently Liverpool's only competitor to win the league title. They are nine points behind with one game to play. If the Premier League has the same points, the ranking will not be based on the battle between the two sides, but on the goal difference.

Manchester City's current goal difference is 62, while Liverpool's is... 83 goals. This means that Liverpool has lost four consecutive games after winning two consecutive victories, and it is difficult for Manchester City to win the league championship after achieving the final five consecutive victories.

Unless, Liverpool conceded an average of 3 goals per game during their four-game losing streak.

Moreover, Manchester City may not be able to win all the remaining five league rounds, so the possibility of Liverpool defending the league title is very high.

Since the second leg of the match between Liverpool and Sevilla was held on the second match day of the Champions League, the whole team traveled to Seville, the capital of the Spanish autonomous state of Andalusia, on Tuesday morning.

There were two quarter-final second-leg contests in the Champions League every match day. Neither Chelsea nor Manchester City, which lost by a large margin in the first round, came back to win.

切尔西主场2：2战平巴塞罗那，两回合总比分3:6遭到淘汰，曼城显然是受到主场2：3不敌曼联影响，周中主场1：2输给拜仁慕尼黑，总比分1：5遭到淘汰。

In other words, Liverpool has become the only champion of the Premier League in the Champions League and is responsible for defending the dignity of the Premier League.
