Chapter 369 Goodbye! The defending champion

Just when Inter Milan was still trying to find a good opportunity to score, there was another change in the score on Tottenham Hotspur, Tottenham scored the score.

Judging from the speed of this equalization, Tottenham Hotspurs will have great hopes for a three-pointer next.

On Inter Milan's side, Sneider made a stop-off mistake and gave Valencia a chance to counterattack. In an instant, Valencia hit the counterattack in front of Inter Milan's goal, and the ball was eventually missed by Xu Qi.

"Xu Qi missed a good opportunity. He might have scored another goal." Liu Jianhong commented, and then pointed out that Sneider's mistake was the main reason for Valencia's counterattack.

"Sneider is not as magical as last season this season, and Diego Milito is actually very injured, so this season Inter Milan feels like he is being carried by Etoo alone. A few days ago, the final list of candidates for the Golden Balls has come out, all of whom are from Barcelona, ​​namely Messi, Xavi and Iniesta. Sneider was originally a strong contender for the Golden Balls. His previous call for winning the Golden Balls was even higher than that of Xavi and Iniesta, but in the end he was not even selected for the top three. This has more or less affected Sneider's mood." Liu Jianhong guessed the reason for Sneider's poor condition.

In fact, this is how the entire Inter Milan team is. Not only are they facing the crisis of being eliminated in the Champions League group stage, but they are now ranked fifth in the Serie A stadium where they have been dominated by them for many years. This is enough to show how poor the Inter Milan team is.

After fulfilling its long-cherished wish for many years, this team has lost the motivation to compete for honor. Of course, the aging of personnel is also one of the problems.

The first half ended with a score of 2-0.

Inter Milan's situation is even more passive. They were actually controlling the situation and wanting to take the initiative to attack, but as they fought, they found that they could not compete with Valencia in the midfield. Valencia, who originally planned to counterattack, has even begun to take the initiative to attack.

The match between Mestalia Stadium is likely to be the last match for Inter Milan in the European arena this season. This defending champion and veteran giant are probably going to leave the Champions League.

The second half of the game continued, Valencia became more and more confident the more she played, but Inter Milan had a vague sense of collapse.

There was actually not much content in the second half. Inter Milan had the possibility of a comeback. However, in another field, Tottenham overtook Twente and led 2-1.

Although Benitez also made substitution adjustments, replaced young player Thornton and Coutinho, none of them had a huge effect.

As the game approached 80 minutes, Xu Qi made a goal for Domingos, who came on as a substitute. Domingos passed the ball to Aduris, and finally Aduris scored again!

Three to zero, Valencia completely secured the victory, and Inter Milan completely lost hope of a comeback after conceding the goal.

The score of 3-0 is a very difficult result for Inter Milan, but this did happen in the Champions League.

Inter Milan will definitely lose in this game, and Inter Milan loses. Unless Tottenham loses, even if Tottenham fails to win, they will eventually draw. The two teams have the same points, so Tottenham will advance.

Because Tottenham won three to one and lost three to four, from the perspective of victory or defeat, Tottenham has the advantage.

Therefore, when the score is equal, Tottenham Hotspur advanced.

Inter Milan may have to count on the last team Twente, who beat Tottenham Hotspur, to have a chance.

However, this is almost impossible luxury.

In the end, the referee also blew the whistle to the end of the game. After the game, many Inter Milan players already knew that they had no hope of advancing, and they all regretfully left tears of unwillingness.

Finally, the score from another venue was passed, and Tottenham defeated Twente 3-2 away and scored all three points.

In the final standings, Valencia won three wins, three draws and twelve points, appearing as the first in the group.

Tottenham Hotspurs is second in the team.

Inter Milan ranked third with eight points.

After the reform of the Champions League, no curse of any team being able to defend the title has been staged in advance. The defending champion not only failed to defend the title successfully, but was also eliminated in the group stage.

"Let us congratulate Valencia on successfully winning the first place in the group and also let us bid farewell to the defending champion. They were once kings, but now they have lost the opportunity to defend the crown." Liu Jianhong suddenly had some literary style, expressing some regrets about Inter Milan's elimination.

At the same time, the final group situation of the Champions League group a to Group D has also been settled, and the final result of Group e to Group h cannot be determined until the next day.

What can be confirmed now is that Group A is the first Valencia and the second Tottenham Hotspur;

Group b first Lyon, second Schalke 04;

Manchester United first in Group C and second in Bremen;

Group D is the first Barcelona and second Copenhagen.

These are eight teams that have entered the quarterfinals so far.

The next day, the Champions League day match continued, and the results from Group E to Group H were also revealed.

Group e-e first Bayern Munich, second Rome;

Group F first Chelsea and second Marseille;

G Group G Real Madrid first, AC Milan second;

Group H first Donetsk miners and second Arsenal.

The situation in the H group in the end was indeed a bit unexpected. The other young players of the Donetsk Miners team who lost Xu Qi continued to grow and their strength increased a lot. Moreover, the group of players led by William and Douglas Costa did support the Donetsk Miners team's offensive line.

They actually beat Arsenal in this group to qualify as the first in the group. This is indeed very surprising. They won five wins and one loss in six games, with an amazing record.

Such a record also proves that they were able to reach the quarterfinals last season in the Champions League, which was definitely not just because they were lucky, they did have strong strength.

Xu Qi was really happy for those old friends when he saw that his old boss could achieve such achievements.

But now he is a Valencia player, so what he cares more about is naturally the opponent he may meet next.

The Donetsk Miners won the first place in the group, so they avoided fighting against Valencia in the quarterfinals, and Xu Qi avoided his old club.

However, Arsenal has become a potential opponent of Valencia.

AC Milan and Arsenal can be said to be the second in the group, with strong opponents. Since all three La Liga teams won the first place in the group, Valencia could only avoid Tottenham Hotspur in the second in the group.

All other groups are second, and may be Valencia's opponent.

The lottery will be held on December 17th, which is next week.
