Chapter 913 is outrageous!

While fans all over the world are still immersed in the debate over whether Messi will go to Manchester City or Paris Saint-Germain, the Champions League is continuing in an orderly manner.

After the quarter-finals, fans were focused on Messi's transfer, but no one noticed that Monaco from Ligue 1, after losing 0-1 in the first leg, tied the score 1-0 in the second leg at the Stade Louis II with Fekir's winning goal.

After that, in the overtime, neither side was able to score a goal, and the total score remained 1-1 until the end, entering a penalty shootout.

In the end, Navas performed brilliantly in the penalty shootout, saving three penalties from the opponent in one breath, and sent Monaco into the Champions League semi-finals with his own hands.

This battle made Costa Rican goalkeeper Navas famous and became famous overnight.

In another stadium, a derby was staged in Madrid.

Atletico Madrid drew 0-0 with Real Madrid at home, but at the Bernabeu Stadium, Simeone's team had a desperate showdown with Real Madrid. The two sides played in full swing and neither side was able to score.

In the 80th minute of the second half, Isco, the main midfielder of the Colchoneros, made an uncalm foul during a defense, accumulating two yellow cards and was sent off the field by the referee with a red card.

This made everyone in Atletico Madrid feel dissatisfied and shocked.

But even with one man less, Simeone replaced the young player Vietto.

At the critical moment, it was a wonderful assist from midfielder Alex Teixeira that helped young player Vietto get a chance to counterattack at the critical moment. The young Argentine player calmly seized this opportunity and scored the winning goal of the game.

After that, Real Madrid launched a frantic counterattack, and Atletico Madrid defended on all fronts, eventually keeping the score of one to zero until the end.

Simeone's team finally eliminated Real Madrid 1-0 on aggregate at the Bernabeu Stadium thanks to Vietto's winning goal, and successfully reached the Champions League semi-finals again.

As Real Madrid was eliminated from the Champions League and the Copa del Rey successively, and gradually fell behind Atletico Madrid in the La Liga championship race, the calls for Real Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti to be sacked are getting louder and louder.

There are even media reports that Florentino has informed the board of directors in advance that Ancelotti will be dismissed after the end of this season.

As for who will become the new captain of the Galaxy Battleship, it is not clear yet.

Monaco, Southampton and Atletico Madrid advanced to the semi-finals one after another, which made Yang Huan so happy that he couldn't stop smiling. He was even thinking, since Benfica defeated Bayern Munich 3-1 at home in the first round, could they also advance to the semi-finals?

It would be really great if all four teams in the Champions League semi-finals were from our own country.

But this time Guardiola showed no respect to his future new club.

In the first leg, Bayern Munich made mistakes in their response and suffered a 3-1 defeat to Benfica away from home.

This battle greatly created the names of the two Benfica wingers Gaitan and Salvio. It also made Manchester United CEO Sandezi, who was watching the game, call Master Huan immediately after the game, thanked him cheerfully, and repeatedly emphasized that the two players had already been sold to Manchester United.

Look at his useless look, as if he is afraid that Young Master Huan will go back on his word. Is it really that serious?

But in the second round, at the Allianz Arena, Bayern Munich adjusted their tactics and staged a one-sided massacre, defeating Benfica 4-1 at home and eliminating the Portuguese Super League team without any danger.

This also made Yang Huan feel a little depressed, there were three of them but one was missing!

However, in the Champions League semi-finals, three of the four teams are from his own team, and Yang Huan is already quite satisfied.

According to the rules, in the semi-finals, Southampton will play against Monaco, and Bayern Munich will face Atletico Madrid of La Liga.

The four teams are from the Premier League, Ligue 1, Bundesliga and La Liga, which also makes European fans generally excited.

Only fans in Italy and Serie A were disappointed, because they had a chance.

As the teams for the Champions League semi-finals were announced, major bookmakers have also refreshed their odds.

Judging from the market reaction, Southampton has the highest odds.

The defending champions of the Champions League are in great form this season and are unstoppable.

Bielsa's team is not only full of superstars, but also has amazing offensive power. It has been far ahead in the Premier League, established itself as the Premier League champion early on, and achieved three consecutive championships.

You know, since the establishment of the Premier League, only Manchester United under Ferguson has achieved three consecutive championships twice, from 1998 to 2001, and from 2006 to 2009.

What’s interesting is that when Manchester United won three consecutive Premier League titles, they also won two Champions League titles in the 1999 and 2008 seasons.

Southampton is the second team to achieve three consecutive championships since the establishment of the Premier League. More importantly, they also won a Champions League title, which makes the Saints the third Premier League team to win the Champions League since the establishment of the Premier League, following Manchester United and Liverpool.

In fact, with the Saints' powerful offensive firepower this season, they are likely to become the first team to successfully defend the title since the Champions League was reformed, which will undoubtedly greatly increase the Saints' influence in European football.

However, in the semi-finals, the Saints faced Monaco from Ligue 1.

If Southampton is the most aggressive attacking team in Europe this season, then Ronald Koeman's Monaco is the most solid defensive team in Europe.

The sharpest spear and the strongest shield, this duel is destined to attract the attention of fans all over the world.

More importantly, compared to the star-studded Southampton, Monaco's star configuration is relatively mediocre.

But no matter what, if Koeman can lead Monaco to upset the Saints again, it will undoubtedly take the Ligue 1 team one step further.

As for the other match, Atletico Madrid, the runner-up of last season's Champions League, made a comeback this season and reached the semi-finals, intending to regain the ground where they lost the championship last season.

However, Simeone's team may not be able to gain much advantage against the Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern Munich.

Therefore, in the Champions League odds offered by bookmaker William Hill, Southampton has the highest odds, followed by Bayern Munich, and Atletico Madrid and Monaco ranked third and fourth.

In William Hill's other popular betting, the odds on the team Messi is most likely to join show Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City leading the way, followed by Manchester United, then Bayern Munich, Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid and Chelsea.

Because Spanish media broke the news that Abramovich wanted to buy Messi, but was rejected by Messi on the grounds that he did not want to join a relegation team. This immediately made Chelsea fans all over the world very sad.

But no one will care about the mood of the Blues fans because time goes on.

…………

…………

With Monaco's further improvement in performance this season, especially its consecutive victories in the Champions League, the attendance at the Stade Louis II has been greatly stimulated, especially in the Champions League, where every game is packed.

Yang Huan appeared openly in the stands of the Stade Louis II, just in time for the first leg of Southampton's Champions League semi-final away game against Monaco.

Yang Huan, accompanied by Peter Kenyon and others, sat with Prince Albert and Princess of Monaco, as well as a number of political and business celebrities from Monaco. Bolingbroke, CEO of Monaco Club, and technical director Jean-Luc Bussin were also present.

The atmosphere in the entire presidential stand was very good, because by reaching the semi-finals, Monaco had already exceeded its goals, and it was difficult for fans to ask for more from this team.

"Master Huan, I myself did not expect that Monaco could improve so quickly and play so well!"

The bald Prince Albert was grinning from ear to ear, and he praised Yang Huan repeatedly as soon as he saw him.

"Haha, all this is thanks to the good management of Michael and Jean, the dedication of the head coach and players, and the help of His Royal Highness the Prince and everyone present, that Monaco can achieve today's results."

Yang Huan said modestly with a smile.

Sometimes, appropriate humility can be quite likable.

Especially for someone of Yang Huan's level, who wouldn't like his flattery?

"Haha, Master Huan, after all, it's you who are the leader!" Prince Albert nodded with joy on his face.

"Your team has three of the top four teams in the Champions League semi-finals. If you don't succeed, who will?"

The others around also nodded.

When it comes to European football today, the name Young Master Huan is a household name.

If someone said that he didn't know Young Master Huan, that person would probably be laughed to death by others.

Yang Huan smiled and said nothing more.

As for humility, it should be practiced in moderation, otherwise it becomes hypocrisy and becomes annoying.

"Master Huan, do you think Monaco has a chance in tonight's game?" Prince Albert asked with concern.

Yang Huan immediately smiled bitterly, "I say, Your Highness, the back of this hand is flesh, and the palm is also flesh, how do you want me to answer?"

Prince Albert burst out laughing.

"Honestly speaking, in terms of quality, Monaco has almost no chance."

"Hmm?" Prince Albert frowned.

"We've already made it to the semi-finals, and we still don't have any chance?"

"Yes!" Yang Huan understood what Prince Albert meant and smiled, "You don't have to worry about any tricks. I can tell you very clearly and directly that there are no tricks. It doesn't matter to me who wins or loses."

What difference can there be?

If Southampton wins, it will naturally bring in a lot of revenue, but if Monaco wins, isn't it the same?

Even if Monaco wins, several players in the team can be sold at a higher price.

"Monaco's players are very strong, but they are not mature yet. They relied on their momentum to play until now, and they are almost there. They were already in a tough situation against Dortmund, but Coman is really good and has rich experience in European competitions. He turned the situation around."

Isn’t it?

They lost a goal in the first leg away from home and did not perform very well in the second leg. In the end, they relied on Fekir's winning goal and Navas' magical performance in the penalty shootout to barely advance.

If they play one more game, Monaco probably won't be able to advance.

"Relatively speaking, Southampton is stronger overall. Although their defense has problems, their attacking power is quite outstanding. Monaco has basically no chance of winning against such an opponent."

Prince Albert and others nodded, thinking that Yang Huan's analysis was reasonable.

After all, Monaco is somewhat lucky to be where it is today.

When it comes to hard power, they are not enough.

"Is it true that there is no chance?"

"Yes!" Yang Huan laughed, "Unless Koeman and the players are crazy!"

The princess burst out laughing.

The others all laughed as well.

But what Young Master Huan said was indeed correct.

Given the overall lag in hard power, Monaco can only rely on luck to win.

Because, in the face of absolute strength advantage, no matter how good the luck is, it cannot change the final result.

Unless everyone in Monaco transforms into Long Aotian!
