Then, Monaco still had mid-week games because they were still alive in the French Cup.

They still maintain their hope of competing for the triple crown.

This is a single game that determines the outcome. In the semi-finals, Monaco also successfully eliminated Guinggang and successfully entered the final.

The final will be held in early May, with the venue located at the Stadium de France, one of which is Monaco and the other is Rennes.

In late April, the 34th round of the league began, with Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco both defeating their opponents.

It is worth noting that Xu Qi showed a good state in the confrontation with Nice in this round of the game, and another hat trick, helping the team win four to zero.

Next, the Champions League semi-final battle full of gimmicks is about to begin.

The final sprint month of this season is coming soon.

How much honor Monaco will receive this season will be announced within this month.

Monaco's schedule is always not very friendly this season, because they always play home first and away.

This time against Chelsea, they played at home first.

Before the game, Chelsea coach Mourinho will naturally quickly attract the attention of the media. He can always make the media look at him and wait for him to say something.

Unfortunately, Mourinho doesn't seem to want to be too high-profile this time, after all, their opponent is what Mourinho wants.

Moreover, he has great hope of leading the team to the Champions League final.

Therefore, he needs to relieve the pressure on the players as much as possible.

But no matter how much this pressure is reduced, Chelsea actually bears it.

Another focus of this game, the most attractive thing is naturally Xu Qi. His condition has been so hot recently that people have to mention him.

Moreover, in fact, there is a former teammate of Xu Qi in Chelsea's teammate, not Mata who has left Chelsea, but William, who was once a teammate of Xu Qi in the Donetsk Miners.

In fact, compared with Dortmund's Mkhitaryan, Xu Qi and William have been together for a longer time and are more familiar with each other.

Therefore, Xu Qi met an old friend again this time.

Among the grudges between Ranieli and Mourinho, there is also a competition between two old teammates Xu Qi and William.

At the Louis II Stadium, fans are waiting for the arrival of a big battle, with the Blues Chelsea playing against Monaco.

This is actually the team of two Russian richest people. Rebonovlev and Abramovich also appeared on the scene and watched the game at the same time.

On the ranking of the world's richest people, Abu ranked 107th, while Rebonovlev ranked 119th.

Both of them are worth tens of billions of dollars, and the richest of the rich.

Before the game, Mourinho also put on Chelsea's starting roster.

Cech is naturally the decisive force for this team. It is rumored that Chelsea will take back the young goalkeeper Courtois who is loaned to Atletico Madrid to replace the elderly Cech next season.

However, Cech, who is already old, still has the ability to be a world-class goalkeeper.

On the back line, Gary Cahill and Terry partnered with the central defender, with Ashley Cole and Aspiricueta on both sides respectively.

Mikel and David Luis are partnering with the midfielder, and David Luis is also transformed by Mourinho to play this position.

As for the player in the frontcourt, William got the opportunity to start due to Hazard's absence due to injury.

Therefore, their frontcourt is William on the left, Lampard on the middle, and Ramirez on the right.

On the front line, it is Torres.

As for Monaco, Falcao has made a comeback again, and he has been on the team's starting list again and serves as the team's arrow.

The arrows of both teams in this game are both god strikers who have played for Atletico Madrid, but Torres is obviously not as good as Falcao.

In the frontcourt of Monaco, Carrasco on the left side, Xu Qi appeared on the right side, and Ronaldo was in the middle.

The two midfielders are Obadi and Tulalang.

On the back line are Fabinho, Carvalho, Abdunuer and Raji.

Goalkeeper Subacic.

In another Champions League semi-final that was held in advance, Atletico Madrid won Real Madrid 1-0 at home, taking the lead.

Therefore, no matter who reaches the final, these two teams are likely to face Atletico Madrid, which is relatively good news for both teams.

Because their opponent is Atletico Madrid, their hopes of winning the championship will be greater. After all, if the opponent is Real Madrid, it feels that the difference is quite large in terms of the value of both sides.

Of course, no matter which team the final opponent will be, they must first consider the enemy in front of them.

In the player channel, the camera also captured the reunion of two old teammates of Donetsk miners Xu Qi and William. Their deep hugs are also touching.

The world of football is so magical. Two people who once fought side by side will always become opponents for various reasons.

And grudges are always one of the themes of football.

Chelsea coach Mourinho shook hands with Monaco coach Ranieli, and entered their respective command areas.

The starters of the two teams also entered the stadium with the calls from all the fans of the court.

5 Of course, I won’t miss such an important live broadcast of the Champions League semi-finals.

And the ratings of this semi-final also have the hope of breaking the nightly ratings record.

All of this is naturally because of Xu Qi.

Finally, the competition officially began.

Chelsea, who played away, had a defensive posture from the beginning, and Mourinho was naturally very accustomed to this style of play.

His players are also very good at fighting, which once made it difficult for Monaco players to organize effective offenses.

Of course, Monaco's first threatening attack appeared. After all, Xu Qi's personal ability is difficult for Chelsea to stop.

He faced Ashley Cole on the right side, cut in horizontally and then hit the mountain with his left foot, and the ball was resolved by Cech.

Now Xu Qi can shoot a world-class shot with his left foot, which also makes Chelsea's defense terrified.

Xu Qi's position on the court is generally blocked by David Louis and Ashley Cole, but despite being hit so closely, Xu Qi is still the most threatening player on the team.

And this defense area of ​​Chelsea is also the biggest hidden danger.

At the same time, Mourinho's pre-match arrangement also included many defensive counterattack strategies, but Torres' form is not good, and Chelsea does not have many good counterattack opportunities.

Without Hazard, it was a bit overestimated to try to tear open the Monaco team's defense with William and Ramirez's running ability on the left and right sides.

When Carvalho faced his old club, he performed very steadily and did not give Chelsea any good chance.

However, seeing Xu Qi's outstanding performance, William naturally did not want to be outdone. In the past, when he was in the Donetsk Miners, the new Xu Qi quickly wanted to leave his ace position. Now, he wants to defeat Xu Qi in this duel.

In the seventh minute, William rushed forward in the counterattack and then passed to the middle. Ramirez's golden snake from 18 meters on the right side of the penalty area was off the corner of the goal.
