Real Madrid faces challenges in reaching the semi-finals (topic)
Tonight's News (Reporter Wang Zi) In the early hours of yesterday morning, Beijing time, in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, La Liga Real Madrid drew 3-3 at home with Premier League Manchester City Team.
The two teams took the lead alternately in this campaign. Valverde equalized the score when Real Madrid fell behind twice, helping Real Madrid maintain the tie at home. Vinicius provided two assists and connected with Valverde and Rodrigo respectively. Another goal for the Galaxy Battleship came from an own goal sent by the opponent.
After this campaign, Real Madrid ushered in 27 unbeaten games at home in all competitions. The last time they scored 3-3 in a Champions League knockout home game was back in 1968 in the semi-finals against Manchester United in the Premier League. In the previous 11 times in the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds, the Galacticos have successfully advanced only twice, and the second leg was a guest in Manchester. They eliminated Manchester United in the 1999-2000 season and the 2012-2013 season.
However, this time Real Madrid faces Manchester City, which has remained unbeaten in 22 Champions League games. The latter has suffered only one defeat in the past 11 times against the La Liga division, and has drawn away from home in the first leg of the Champions League knockout rounds nine times before, and successfully advanced in all of them. In the past nine Champions League games, Manchester City has scored at least three goals, setting a new competition record. It can be seen that Real Madrid will face a great test if they want to capture Manchester again.
In another game, the Premier League Arsenal drew 2-2 at home with the Bundesliga Bayern Munich with goals from Saka and Trossard. Saka has participated in eight goals in the Champions League this season, which is only lower than the 10 goals scored by Henry in a single season in team history; Trossard has scored goals in his first four home games in the Champions League, ranking first Del Piero, Canoute and the fourth player in the history of the event after Oscar.
Bayern's two goals came from Gnabry and Kane respectively. This is the eighth time Kane has scored a penalty against Arsenal, the highest number of penalty kicks scored by players from the five major European leagues against a single club since the 2014-2015 season.
