Although Adriano had scored many hat-tricks in Inter Milan's usual games, this was the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League. Adriano was very excited to score a hat-trick in such an important competition.
And he knew how important his goal was!
The score was changed to 4: 3, and the total score became 8: 5. With ten minutes left in the game, Inter Milan was leading Barcelona by three goals! This game was even better!
In Inter Milan's home ground, a one-goal lead was already relatively safe. A two-goal lead basically meant double insurance. A three-goal lead could basically be said to be safe!
Ever since Li Ang coached Inter Milan, there had never been a team that could catch up with Inter Milan in the Meazza Stadium after trailing by three goals!
Even if the opponent was Barcelona, the Inter Milan players had such confidence!
Adriano opened his arms and rushed to the side of the stands, yelling to vent his excitement.
In Inter Milan's technical area, Li Ang also jumped up from his seat, raised his fists, and shouted.
At this time, only the cheers of the Inter Milan fans could be heard in the Meazza Stadium. No other sound could be heard.
Inter Milan was leading Barcelona by three goals in their home ground. Everyone knew what this meant.
It was almost impossible for Barcelona to catch up at this time!
"Adriano's goal was beautiful! This time, the Brazilian striker showed everyone his calmness and alertness in front of the goal! This hat-trick also completely announced that Barcelona's hopes of a comeback were dashed! "
The commentators were also in an excited mood at this time. This game was really wonderful.
"Beautiful! Adriano! Adriano!! Adriano!!! This is a classic fast counterattack! Inter Milan showed everyone how efficient their offense can be! "
"Adriano's goal was beautiful. Let's not forget Modric. His long pass was the beginning of this counterattack. After being out for two months due to injury, Inter Milan's Croatian star player came on as a substitute and showed everyone his extraordinary strength!!!"
"There is no doubt that this is a pinnacle match. The score of 4: 3 says everything. Inter Milan is firmly in control of the game. Barcelona has not given up, but every time they see hope, Li Ang's team directly gives Barcelona a head-on blow!!!"
Rijkaard stood on the sidelines, frowning. In the end, he could only sigh. There was nothing he could do about the current situation. Now, if Barcelona wanted to advance, in addition to the players' desperation and extraordinary performances, they also needed God's blessing for a miracle to appear.

Li Ang had a slightly proud smile on his face. Their goal this season was to win the treble. They had already won the league title and defeated Lazio by a large score in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-finals. They already had one foot in the finals of the Coppa Italia. Now, they were leading Barcelona by 4: 3 in the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals. They were ahead of Barcelona by 8: 5 in the overall score. Victory was in sight. There was only time left until this season's UEFA Champions League final venue, the Luzhniki Stadium in Moscow!!!
But Li Ang was only excited for a moment. He shouted on the sidelines again to remind the team to pay attention, pay attention to defense, and not be distracted. Although the possibility of an unexpected reversal was almost non-existent, the necessary vigilance was still necessary …
Rijkaard had no other choice at this time. His team had no other choice but to attack.
Barcelona's frenzied attack almost narrowed the gap in the score again. After Messi spiked the ball to dodge the gap, he suddenly kicked a long shot that bypassed César's ten fingers, but hit the crossbar and flew straight out of the end line.
This shocked the Inter Milan Team fans and made them break out in a cold sweat.
Li Ang also made another substitution. The veteran Javier Zanetti came on as a substitute and replaced Mai Kong, who had been up and down today. Adriano, who had scored a hat-trick, was replaced by Agüero, who had recovered from his injury.
Thunderous applause rang out in the stands. The applause was dedicated to Adriano, who had scored a hat-trick today, and Mai Kong, who had performed well. It was also for the veteran captain, Zanetti, who had recovered from his injury and returned to Agüero.
"Modric has recovered from his injury, and Agüero has also recovered from his injury. Just as the tickets to the Champions League final are about to be in hand, Li Ang's Inter Milan will prepare for the match with the strongest stance!!!" Rossi said.

Soon, Inter Milan once again showed everyone their powerful offensive efficiency.
In Inter Milan's first attack, Zanetti sent a straight pass, and the substitute Argentinian star player, Agüero, broke through on the right flank. This time, Marcos was lured to the flank. Gabriel Milito moved to the front, and Zambrotta moved to the middle. The back became a fatal gap. Diego Milito was unmarked at the back.
Agüero was astutely aware of this gap. He passed with his right foot. Modric, who followed up in the middle, cleverly did not choose to head the ball to attack the goal. Instead, he headed the ball. These few passes tore open Barcelona's defense, creating an opportunity for Diego Milito to shovel the ball into the empty goal.
Faced with such an opportunity, Diego Milito naturally would not miss it. The football flew into the net without any suspense!
This goal basically pronounced Barcelona's death sentence.
“Goooooaaaaal！”
"Five to three! Five to three! Five to three! The total score of the two rounds is nine to five! Barcelona is four goals behind! This is a goal that will make the Barcelona people despair! "
"Milito! Milito! Milito! He scored a brace! A beautiful goal. Inter Milan's wonderful coordination between the sides and the center! Agüero showed everyone his good competitive form. Modric's header was amazing. Diego Milito's nose in front of the goal made people jump up and cheer excitedly!!! "Ferrari was completely excited!
"Barcelona has continuously conceded goals. One of the reasons for this, other than Inter Milan's tactics being very targeted, is that they are physically weak. Agüero dribbles the ball and cuts inside. Barcelona's three midfielders are physically weak because of the desperate fight in the middle throughout the entire game. The three are chasing back, but they are not in time. So, in the most critical area of the middle, the nearly 20-meter area, there is actually a vacuum at this time! This almost unimaginable gap has appeared just like that!!! " Rossi analyzed the depth of the goal and praised Li Ang and Inter Milan in various ways. "This is the result of Rijkaard's tactics being restrained by Li Ang. Barcelona's style of play, which emphasizes suppression in the middle, requires physical strength. At this point, no matter how good the tactics are, the players are unable to execute them. Barcelona's rear defensive line is almost defenseless now! "
*****
Diego Milito's goal made Barcelona completely desperate!
Then Barcelona launched an almost tragic attack, but in the end, they did not break through Inter Milan Team's goal.
Because Inter Milan no longer wanted to fight back after taking a four-goal lead. Anyway, there was not much time left. They simply went back to defend and did not leave any chance for Rijkaard's team.
From the start of injury stoppage time, the Inter Milan Team fans sang and danced in the home team's stands at the Meazza Stadium. They shouted, they cheered, they jumped and they were high. They were singing Queen's "We Are the Champions" to announce their victory in advance.
With a score of five to three and a total score of nine to five, no one could snatch their ticket to the final!
When the referee finally blew the whistle at the end of the game, the fans' singing over the Meazza Stadium turned into thunderous cheers. The entire stadium seemed to shake.
And the Inter Milan Team's substitutes rushed onto the field under the leadership of Li Ang and hugged the players on the field.
"Congratulations to Inter Milan! Congratulations to Adriano! Congratulations to Diego Milito! Congratulations to Mata! Congratulations to Carlos! Congratulations to Modric! Congratulations to César! Congratulations to Li Ang! Five to three! A total score of nine to five! They eliminated Barcelona and advanced to the final of this season's UEFA Champions League! This was the first time they had advanced to the final of the UEFA Champions League after a season! If Li Ang could lead Inter Milan to win the UEFA Champions League this season, it would be the second time he had led Inter Milan to win the UEFA Champions League in three years! This was a wild imagination that made people go crazy! If he could lead Inter Milan to stand before Europe at the Luzhniki Stadium in a month's time, Li Ang, the China coach who had achieved great success in Italy, would engrave his name in the hall of the highest honor in European football and become another coach who had led his team to stand at the top of Europe twice! Let us bless Inter Milan and Li Ang. He and his team are creating a new glorious era for Inter Milan!!! " Ferrari's high-pitched and passionate voice was transmitted to the ears of countless Inter Milan fans through the airwaves. At this moment, countless people were cheering.
The camera gave a close-up of the celebrating Inter Milan players. Li Ang was surrounded by his own players, lifted over their shoulders, and lifted up for a parade.
The triumphant China coach stretched out his arm and pointed to the night sky of Meazza, looking slightly arrogant and domineering!
The day after the game, the media used a picture of his action as the picture on the front page with the caption:
Li Ang points his sword at the UEFA Champions League!
