On the evening of April 29, Liverpool's Anfield Stadium.

This is the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, with Liverpool playing against Manchester United at home.

Ferguson attaches great importance to this away game, and has lined up the strongest defensive lineup, hoping to win a draw away game.

For Liverpool's number one star Yang Yang, Ferguson even arranged for O'Shea and Fletcher to focus on him.

But unexpectedly, Liverpool scored first in just nine minutes of the game.

Yang Yang took the ball on the left to plan the offense, dribbled the ball and attracted defensive attention, and passed the ball to Gerald.

The Liverpool captain dribbled the ball at high speed and passed it straight behind him. Crouch made a push shot in front of the goal, setting the first record for Liverpool.

The two sides then played hard to solve, until the 60th minute of the second half, Yang Yang cut in the left side again, passed the ball diagonally with his right foot, and Kuyt inserted and headed the ball against Evra, further expanding the score for Liverpool.

In the end, Liverpool beat Manchester United 2-0 at home.

Although Yang Yang failed to score in the whole game, he still performed very actively, actively attracted Manchester United's defensive attention and created opportunities for his teammates frequently. However, due to his poor ability to seize opportunities, Liverpool only scored two goals.

After the game, although Yang Yang had only one assist, he was still selected as the best player in the game.

Entering May, Liverpool faces Newcastle at home as the 35th round of the Premier League.

The latter is currently ranked 19th in the Premier League, and it is a foregone conclusion to be relegated.

After winning the championship early, Benitez focused all his attention on the away game of the Champions League next week and the subsequent FA Cup finals, so this game was dealt with by large rotations. But even so, Liverpool still knocked Newcastle down 3-0 at home.

In the 22nd minute, Kuyt first assisted Benayon to score, and five minutes later Garethbari assisted Kuyt to score.

In the 87th minute of the second half, Gareth Bale assisted Lucasreva to score.

The 3-0 victory over Newcastle made everyone see Liverpool's overall strength and the high fighting spirit shown by the team. Obviously, the team is united and strives to move towards the goal of the four-champion championship.

On May 5, Manchester Old Trafford Stadium.

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Liverpool challenged Manchester United away.

This is also the sixth match between Liverpool and Manchester United this season, and Liverpool won all the first five games, which made Ferguson's team's confidence a big blow.

Even Ferguson, who has always been arrogant, had to admit before the game that it was difficult for the team to defeat Liverpool and enter the finals. The only thing he wanted was to defeat Liverpool at his home court and keep his face.

But Liverpool is obviously unwilling to give the other party such an opportunity.

The Reds showed aggressive momentum from the beginning of the game and gained the upper hand. In the 17th minute of the game, Yang Yang forced a breakthrough on the left and created a corner kick opportunity.

Xavi Alonso took the corner kick, and Carragher headed the ball in the penalty area, opening the first record for Liverpool.

This goal almost completely broke Manchester United's will to resist, not only because of the total score of 3-0, but also because Liverpool got a away goal.

In other words, Manchester United must score four goals to reverse Liverpool, otherwise the Reds will advance to the finals successfully.

After the first record, Benitez and Liverpool began to fight back against defensively and did not intend to give Manchester United such an opportunity. This made Ferguson and Manchester United so angry that they almost vomited blood, but they were helpless.

Manchester United itself dare not put in a big push because Liverpool's counterattack ability is also fearful.

Finally, in a dull mood, the sixth double red club of the season ended with Liverpool's 1-0 away win.

The Reds defeated Manchester United six times this season, completing an unprecedented feat in club history.

After the game, Ferguson had to admit that Manchester United is indeed not as good as Liverpool this season, especially on the offensive end, but he believes that Manchester United will perform better next season.

But no matter what, Liverpool finally defeated Manchester United with a total score of 3-0 and successfully advanced to the Champions League final.

...

At the Emirates Stadium, Barcelona first defeated Arsenal 1-0 at home in the first leg, and then defeated the Gunners 3-1 away, and finally advanced to the final with a total score of 4-1.

The showdown between Liverpool and Barcelona, ​​the battle between Yang Yang and Messi, the contest between Benitez and Guardiola...

This is the showdown between the two teams with the strongest and best-in-form strength in European football this season. What is even more rare is that Liverpool and Barcelona have won the league championship ahead of schedule and have both entered the cup finals at the same time.

Due to the Premier League, Liverpool has one more League Cup champion than Barcelona.

When the results of the Champions League semi-finals were released, fans around the world began to look forward to the arrival of this peak showdown between the giants. Everyone was wondering whether it was Liverpool led by Yang Yang to defeat the enemy? Or was Barcelona led by Messi better?

May 9th, the 36th round of the Premier League.

Liverpool challenge West Ham United away.

Yang Yang continued to sit on the bench and did not appear in the lineup, but Gerald did not, and opened the first record for Liverpool just two minutes into the game.

In the 37th minute, Gerald created another penalty kick and scored it himself to expand the score for Liverpool.

Then until the 84th minute, Gareth Bale, who replaced Yang Yang, won another goal for Liverpool.

In the end, the Reds defeated West Ham United three-0 away again.

With continuous victory with substitutes, Liverpool not only has good strength, but also has reached its peak in form and morale.

...

Three days later, due to the FA Cup weekend, Liverpool and Chelsea's 37th Premier League round was adjusted to mid-week, and the Reds challenged West Bromwich away.

With Gareth Barry's goal in the 28th minute and Kuyt's goal in the 63rd minute, Liverpool beat West Bromwich 2-0 away.

This time, Yang Yang didn't even make the roster, and focused on restoring his energy and preparing for Saturday's FA Cup final.

Chelsea also defeated Blackburn 2-0 at home with goals from Maluda and Anelka.

Both teams are actively preparing for a good start to Saturday's FA Cup final.

...

And on May 14, Spain held the final of the Copa del Rey.

Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao four-to-one without any danger.

Since then, Guardiola's team has swept the entire Spanish football world with the momentum of double championships, and at the same time is ambitious to win in the Champions League final.

Barcelona's godfather Cruyff even stated in the column that in the upcoming Rome duel, as long as Guardiola's team continues to stick to their pass and control style, they will definitely be able to defeat Liverpool.

"Don't forget, no team has lost in the knockout round in the past few years and can still win the championship!"

But Cruyff's remarks quickly attracted accusations from the British media, because Real Madrid lost in 2000 and 2002, but eventually won the championship. How can we say there is no one?

The Catalan media quickly supported Cruyff, believing that Cruyff’s statement was not a problem, because European football has experienced very obvious tactical innovations in recent years, especially since the season from 003 to 04, tactical development has made rapid progress. Any team that wants to make a difference in the Champions League must maintain stability.

"Since 2002, no team has ever been able to win the championship in the knockout round."

"If the scope is expanded, since the reform of the Champions League, no team has ever lost at home in the knockout round and can win the championship in the end."

It is obvious that the Catalan media is building momentum for Barcelona's Champions League final.

Regarding Cruyff and Catalan media's statement, Yang Yang clearly stated that this is true when interviewed by Liverpool's official website, but not before does not mean that there will be no future.

"Liverpool will be the first!"

Yang Yang's confidence and a resounding sentence made Liverpool's morale boost.

The team has won consecutive victories recently. Even if it is on the bench, it is enough to cut melons and vegetables in the Premier League, and it is unstoppable.

And now, there are only two finals in front of Liverpool.

Not only Yang Yang, but head coach Benitez also said in an interview with the media that he is full of confidence in the team's Champions League.

"When it comes to the Champions League final, we have more experience than our opponents. In the past five years, we have reached the final three times and won the championship twice, including a big reversal of three goals behind and a previous victory against A Milan."

"It's obvious that we can handle it better in how to deal with the Champions League final."

Gerald also said that the locker room was ready, "I think we are all ready."

However, Liverpool's captain also reminded the players that the Champions League final is still behind, and the most important thing for Liverpool is the FA Cup final, and Chelsea will definitely not be easy to play.

"Hiddingk is undoubtedly a top coach, and the Chelsea he leads is not easy to deal with."

"I think the most important thing for us right now is to put the Champions League final aside and concentrate on preparing for the FA Cup final. We hope to end this season with the best results."

Yang Yang agreed with Gerald's words, saying that the team will continue to play every game steadily.

"I think we have enough strength to win this result because we are the strongest."

In addition, Liverpool players such as Xavi Alonso, Crouch, and Kuyt have also been interviewed by the media one after another, expressing their confidence and desires.

Everyone's goals are very clear, not only the FA Cup, but also the Champions League, Liverpool wants it!
Chapter completed!
