Running account

After beating Arsenal with four goals at home, the morale of AC Milan's soldiers was also boosted.

Back in the Italian arena, they first beat Cesena 3:1 in the away game, and then beat Palermo with a clean 4:0.

Then there is a devil's schedule.

The first is the home game against Juventus, the direct opponent of the Serie A championship, and then the second round of the Champions League away game against Arsenal.

This reflects the benefits of a big victory in the first round.

Otherwise, the two important games are only three days apart, and it will be difficult to make a choice.

In history, many teams will lose themselves in this swing, and finally lead to empty-handed.

Now, Milan's choice is very simple.

Go all out, take Juventus, and then easily go to London to meet the challenge of Arsenal.

The final result is also in line with Milan's wishes.

They beat Juventus 1-0 at home and won this key battle related to the championship.

The game was very anxious. Conte obviously learned the lesson of the last defeat to Milan, and played more cautiously, not giving Milan's attacking group any opportunity to take advantage of it.

But Milan is obviously very lucky this year.

When playing for more than 80 minutes, Juventus defender Bonucci handballed in the penalty area without any confrontation and gave Milan a penalty.

Ibrahimovic achieved it overnight and set the country with one foot.

After the game, AC Milan had 21 wins and 4 draws with 67 points, leaving the second-ranked Juventus with a huge gap of 15 points.

There are still 13 rounds left in the league. Although Juventus can theoretically catch up with such a large point gap, in fact no one would have such an illusion.

Everyone feels that AC Milan will always maintain this momentum and remain unbeaten this season to win the championship.

Three days later, the Milan team went to London to play Arsenal away with a relaxed mind.

However, it may be because they are too relaxed, or it may be because the British food is really hard for the players to swallow. In short, Milan did not play very well in this game and lost 0:1.

But it doesn't matter, anyway, they advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!

This result is what matters.

The results of the other sixteen matches are as follows:

Lyon 1:1 APOEL, the two rounds are 1:0 win each other, APOEL won the promotion through a penalty kick.

Leverkusen 2: 10 Barcelona!

Barcelona double-killed and slaughtered the pharmaceutical factory, showing the terrifying strength of their cosmic team.

Zenit St. Petersburg 3 : 4 Benfica.

CSKA Moscow 2 : 5 Real Madrid.

Naples 4: 4 Chelsea, they also played each other 3:1, and finally Chelsea won through overtime.

Basel 1 : 7 Bayern Munich!
This is another massacre.

Basel, the Swiss powerhouse, has no power to fight back in front of Nan Dawang.

The last game was Marseille 2:2 Inter Milan, Marseille advanced with more away goals.

In other words, this season's Champions League reached the quarter-finals, and AC Milan became the only remaining team in Italy.

The Italian media naturally fully supports Milan's performance in the Champions League, believing that they can go further and better express the style of Italian football.

However, after only one day, the wind direction of the media seems to have become much more cautious.

Because the results of the draw for the quarterfinals came out.

AC Milan's opponent is Real Madrid.

This Galaxy battleship led by Mourinho has superstars like Ronaldo, Benzema, Casillas, Ramos and other superstars in the team, as well as the Brazilian star Kaka who was poached from Milan two years ago...

This Real Madrid even beat Cosmos Barcelona in this year's Spanish La Liga. Now they are 10 points ahead of them and lead the La Liga standings, and the championship is also within easy reach.

When facing such an opponent, the Italian media felt that it was understandable that the young Milan had few opportunities.

But the real match against Real Madrid is still 20 days later.

Before that, AC Milan still has to return to Serie A to kill the Quartet.

They defeated Lecce and Parma one after another, constantly consolidating their advantages in the standings.

At the same time, the whole team is also helping Ibrahimovic to brush up the statistics.

When the players on the field take the ball, if Ibrahimovic's position is okay, they will try to pass the ball to his feet or head, and let him complete the goal.

And Ibrahimovic naturally lived up to expectations, often sending the ball into the opponent's goal.

When playing Lecce, Ibrahimovic received a cross from Abate and scored with a header;
In the match against Parma, Ibrahimovic showed off his footwork, passed three people in a row, and then easily pushed the shot.

After 27 rounds, he has already scored 25 goals, leaving behind Milito, Di Natale, Cavani and others behind him.

Ibrahimovic's data is not only reflected in goals.

His fulcrum role in the frontcourt gives him many opportunities to send wonderful passes to his teammates.

So he even reached double figures in the assist list, only behind Palermo's Miccoli and Juventus' Pirlo, ranking third in the assist list.

If this trend continues, it should be no problem for Ibrahimovic to win the Golden Boot and the best player of the season.

However, AC Milan still encountered a strong challenge from Naples in the second round of the Coppa Italia semi-final on March 3.

They actually scored 1:1 again!

In the extra time, both sides also had no achievements, so they had to enter the penalty shootout.

As a result, AC Milan played Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Salah, Seedorf, and Mane without missing a shot, while Ederson saved Cavani's penalty. In the end, Milan Winning and reaching the final of the Coppa Italia!
And AC Milan's opponent in the final is Juventus again!

They also drew 3:3 with their opponent Inter Milan, and they also won in a penalty shootout.

The final will be played at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome on May 5.

On March 3, AC Milan beat Roma 24:2 at home.

It was not easy to win this game.

Roma striker Osvaldo dribbled into the penalty area in the 21st minute but was tripped by Thiago Silva and was sentenced to death by the referee.

Roma captain Totti made a penalty kick and the away game led 1-0.

It was only in the second half that Milan woke up like a dream and began to counterattack.

It wasn't until the 76th minute that Ibrahimovic's powerful volley broke through the Roma gate and equalized the score.

In stoppage time of the game, De Sciglio hit a long-range shot that was already wide of the goal, but it happened to be blocked by the defensive Roma midfielder De Rossi with his leg, and the ball was smashed into the net.

Fortunately, Milan won 2:1 and took all three points.

The reason why in this game, Milan's players seemed a little distracted, and even the coaching staff was a little distracted.

One of the most important reasons is:
Four days later, AC Milan will welcome their strong opponents in the Champions League quarter-finals at the San Siro Stadium:

royal house Madrid! !
