When the whistle sounded at the end of the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 18 final between AC Milan and Liverpool.
The AC Milan players immediately turned and walked towards the players' tunnel. They did not want to stay in Anfield for another second!
All the Red Army fans in the stands stood up and applauded, accompanied by cheers. In their eyes, the Red Army played the best game in the Champions League this season!
"The game is over, the game is over! The defending champions Liverpool defeated the Italian powerhouse AC Milan at home in Anfield with a score of 6: 0 and eliminated AC Milan with a double kill with a total score of 8: 0 over the two legs!
Just after entering the knockout stage, the defending champions Liverpool showed a crazy momentum. They crushed AC Milan with absolute strength.
They were the well-deserved first favorite to win the title. Barcelona and Real Madrid, who were ranked behind them, might have to be careful. If they were drawn to meet in the top eight, it would be an earth-shattering game.
However, Liverpool might want to compete with other opponents because they defeated Real Madrid and Barcelona last season.
Liverpool has successfully advanced to the top eight and they have a huge advantage in the league. Let's see if Liverpool's form will continue to be strong in the next two months. Hopefully, manager Comain's worries will not come true. Will Liverpool be too relaxed because they won the league title ahead of time? Of course, if Liverpool can't achieve the title ahead of time, then there is only one possibility.
Liverpool's form will decline too much in the next two months! "
Comain walked into the players' tunnel in high spirits, while the Liverpool players thanked the fans in the stadium.
Qin Xiong approached the edge of the stands, took off his jersey and threw it into the stands.
After the fans scrambled for it, Qin Xiong took the ball for the game from the referee and borrowed a pen from the staff. He signed his name on the football, the date of the game, the opponent of the game, and the result of the game. Then he walked to the edge of the stands in the northeast corner.
When he was doing community activities in Liverpool, he visited a young fan with leukemia in the community hospital. In today's game, the young fan also came to the scene. He was in a wheelchair with an infusion bottle next to him. His parents and family members were watching over him.
Qin Xiong, bare-chested, came to him with a football in his hand. A rosy color suddenly appeared on the sick little boy's pale face. The family members around him were so excited that they covered their mouths to stop themselves from crying out loud.
Qin Xiong bent down and put the ball on the little boy's leg. He reached out and patted him on the shoulder gently. He smiled and said some words of encouragement to him before he turned and left.
Although it was just a trivial thing for Qin Xiong to do, it was a big surprise for the little boy and his family.
Such a scene also made Qin Xiong more liked and worshipped by more people!
The style of a superstar!
He was not a high and mighty superstar, but a superstar who could influence everyone around him!
A real superstar!
At the post-match press conference, Koeman first took a deep breath in front of all the reporters, as if to calm his excitement. Then he said, "I'm sorry, I feel like I've returned to the state of uncontrollable excitement when I was a player. Liverpool's performance in today's game was perfect and impeccable. I think the praise should be given to my players. They showed an unbeatable ambition and will to win. This is good because we're the defending champions. We're sitting on the throne at the top of Europe. If anyone wants to kick us down, I'm sorry, but we'll show them the strength of a champion!"
Comain's opening remarks gave the reporters a jolt. Liverpool did not seem to be hiding anything anymore. Now they would not hide their ambition for the title.
Comain had been saving up for a long time. He did not squander it now. He just presented a positive momentum.
Because he knew that he could no longer suppress the pride of the Liverpool players.
Yes, Liverpool did not relax, did not belittle their opponents, and did not tire of the game.
So, too many reminders and warnings at this time would be repulsive to the players.
Comain could only shout out the slogan of winning the title and tell the world that Liverpool's goal was to successfully defend their title and create a glory that no one had been able to achieve since the restructuring of the Champions League.
Thomas, a sports columnist for The Times, raised his hand and asked, "What do you think are the reasons why Liverpool was able to beat AC Milan 6: 0 in the end? AC Milan is by no means as vulnerable an opponent as they look. "
Comain pondered for a moment and replied, "The reasons are more complicated. First of all, Liverpool had more energy to prepare for this game. Even if our league opponent last weekend was Manchester United, our lead in the standings was huge. AC Milan also had a certain lead in the Serie A battlefield, but the pursuers behind them put a lot of pressure on them, which made it difficult for them to choose between two battles.
Secondly, in the last round at San Siro, Liverpool took away a 2: 0 victory. We led in the aggregate score, which allowed us to face this game better. Liverpool had the advantage in terms of mentality and spirit.
Finally, there was the comparison of the lineup. AC Milan had to pay the price for their comeback in the previous round. Due to the huge impact of their injuries, Gattuso and Flamini's suspension meant that they could only send some inexperienced and immature young players in the midfield.
In terms of overall strength, Liverpool is stronger than AC Milan. I firmly believe that. Liverpool is stronger, played perfectly, and executed the game's tactics perfectly. Our victory is a reasonable result.
As for the score of 6: 0, I think people who watched the game will not think that this game was an aberration by AC Milan. It can only be said that all the factors were disadvantageous to AC Milan, and Liverpool did not make any mistakes. They were in a good state and knew the result of this game long ago. "
The Guardian reporter, Howard, raised his hand and asked, "Can you look ahead to Liverpool's road to the Champions League? Is there an opponent you want to avoid in the quarter-finals?"
Comain shook his head and said, "We are not afraid of any opponent. This is something I've been repeating, but I think it's necessary to say it again because it represents Liverpool's attitude. We are the defending champions. It should be all the teams in the quarter-finals trying to avoid us, not us thinking about which opponents will create problems for us. But I still want to say that there are no weak teams in the quarter-finals. Although Liverpool is not afraid of any opponent, we have to be vigilant against them. We can't be careless."
Comain finished his words resolutely. Although he said that, he was still more concerned about the opponents in the quarter-finals!
