Chapter 491: The Ligue 1 duo record
The two teams will continue to fight next, but the time is getting more and more
Of course, Dortmund wants to score another goal. If they can score another goal, although they will still lose, it will still be of great help in the two rounds.
However, Monaco successfully defended Dortmund's counterattack.
Three to one, the two teams ended with such a score in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.
This is a very favorable score for Monaco, and there is hope for Dortmund. They may be able to turn the tables with a 2-0 return to their home court.
However, Klopp felt that it was unlikely that he would win Monaco at home with 2-0. After all, the attacking talent shown by Xu Qi was really a headache for him.
In one game, two assists and one goal was scored, and one person made three goals alone, which was terrifying.
He could almost guess what kind of questions the media would ask him after the game, and he would definitely ask Xu Qi, but he couldn't respond to anything.
This feeling is really unhappy.
He and Ranieri just shook hands and returned to the visiting team's locker room, and the players from both sides shook hands one by one and went back.
If people see such a score after the game, they think that Dortmund will still have a lot of hope to win 2-0 at home, but after watching the game process and Xu Qi's outrageous performance, most people think that Dortmund will be in trouble.
Even if the devil is at Westphalia Lun Stadium, it may not be able to stop Xu Qi's footsteps.
After the game, Xu Qi was the best in the game again.
Recently, Xu Qi forgot to win the best of the game several times. This award almost made him lose his hands, although there were no trophies.
After that, Xu Qi was also stopped by UEFA official reporters and asked a lot of questions.
Xu Qi also responded calmly and humbly attributed all this to the joint efforts of the whole team.
Although Trident J Ro, Falkao and Xu Qi scored one goal in the frontcourt, the other two scored the goal after all, all the assists from Xu Qi. The limelight in this game was naturally snatched away by Xu Qi alone.
Now Xu Qi is looking forward to the two teams' next round of competition.
It would be a pretty good thing if it could reach the Champions League semi-finals again.
The Westfah Lun Stadium, which currently has the highest attendance rate in Europe, celebrates its promotion to the Champions League semi-finals. The picture is not too beautiful.
In the post-match press conference, Klopp stated that he would lead the team to complete a reversal, and he and his team would contribute a victory for home fans.
He was indeed a little depressed. After all, Monaco is definitely what all teams want to encounter in the eight teams in the quarterfinals. They encountered Monaco so lucky, but now they encountered such a situation, which puts a lot of pressure on him.
If he loses Barcelona and Real Madrid, he will not be under such great pressure.
But in fact, there are not many people in the media who accuse or mock Klopp. They are just blindly praising Xu Qi for how powerful he is, which simply blows Xu Qi to a new height.
So far, Xu Qi has participated in four games in the Champions League, one in the last round of group stage and three knockout matches, two matches against Manchester United, one against Dortmund, and one against Schalke 04, all of which are strong opponents.
And Xu Qi actually handed in the answer to five goals!
Four games and five goals, three games and four goals in the knockout match, this efficiency is quite handsome.
Xu Qi's outstanding performance also made Monaco's team very well exposed throughout Europe and even the world. Monaco has also become a four-strong and popular team.
In fact, the most painful thing is not Dortmund, but loaning Xu Qi to Monaco's Manchester City team.
They were eliminated early in the Champions League, but it was really hard to accept that Xu Qi led Monaco to overcome all obstacles.
Pellegrini, who said at the time that Xu Qi was not under his plan, is not very satisfied with the fans now.
Although Manchester City is still on the road to the Premier League championship, after all, the major Premier League giants this season are a bit weak. The top competition with Manchester City is Liverpool, supported by Suarez. They cannot determine the lead early, which is indeed a bit unsatisfactory for fans.
Many fans are thinking that if Xu Qi was at Manchester City now, Manchester City might have won the championship ahead of schedule, and the Champions League might really be overthrowing Barcelona.
The first and second rounds are only one week apart.
Monaco will play a Ligue 1 match over the weekend.
This game is also very important, but Ranieri still chose to let Xu Qi rest on the bench first. When the team is fighting on two fronts, Ranieri still has to try to win the league game at the lowest cost.
Of course, you still have to win, because they are only three points away from the top Paris Saint-Germain.
The Ligue 1 ranking method is to look at the goal difference when the points are the same. As of now, Paris Saint-Germain's goal difference has been ahead of Monaco by 17. Such a goal difference advantage also makes it difficult for Monaco to catch up.
Therefore, it seems that it is only three points away, and Monaco is useless to only chase three points. At least they have to surpass Paris Saint-Germain by one point. Although the winning situation is promising, it is not optimistic.
In the 32nd round of the league, Monaco defeated Nantes three-to-one with Xu Qi coming on as a substitute.
Xu Qi came on as the team led 2-1 for 20 minutes, maintained his game state for a while, and casually took advantage of the opportunity to grab points in front of the goal to score a goal.
Xu Qi's condition has been terrifying recently, and he can score a goal in just 20 minutes.
Paris Saint-Germain on the other side defeated Reims 3-0, which was even more neat.
In this way, the difference in points between the two teams is still three-pointers, and Monaco is still holding on to the standings and waiting for the moment when Paris Saint-Germain makes a mistake.
At the same time, Paris Saint-Germain also had a fierce competition with Chelsea in the mid-week Champions League. They also defeated Chelsea with a three-to-one score, gaining the lead in reaching the Champions League semi-finals.
According to this form, the two French Ligue 1 teams have great hope of reaching the Champions League semi-finals, which is an extremely rare phenomenon.
However, most experts believe that at least one of these two teams will be turned over.
The Monaco team is the most likely to be reversed.
In the past few days, Xu Qi has been adjusting his state for the next second round against Dortmund.
In fact, judging from the content of the first leg, Dortmund's strength is indeed very strong. It is definitely not a coincidence that they were able to win the runner-up last year to defeat Real Madrid in the semi-finals. They have strong strength.
Therefore, Monaco must not be taken lightly.
Finally, the whole team gathered and prepared to set out for Germany.
Chapter completed!
