英伦德比战，利物浦主场3-0、客场2-1双杀曼城，总比分5-1晋级，在英超联赛中杀得难解难分的两队在欧冠1∕4决赛的赛场上强弱分明。

罗马客场1-4负于巴塞罗那后绝地反击，主场3-0大胜将总比分扳成4-4平，依靠着客场进球优势晋级四强；

Facing the Cosmos team with a big lead in the first round, the Roman wolf broke out and staged an epic and shocking reversal.

Real Madrid has advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League for eight consecutive seasons. Bayern Munich has returned to the semi-finals after a lapse of one season. The last time Liverpool reached this stage can be traced back

By the 2007-2008 season, Roma had reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time after the restructuring of the Champions League. The last time was in the 1983-1984 season.

Looking back at the history of the Champions League, the last time the top four were dominated by the four major leagues including England, Spain, Germany and Italy dates back to the 37-1980 season 1981 years ago. At that time, the four teams were Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Inter Milan. Once the final winner happened to be Liverpool.

As soon as the results of the draw for the semi-finals came out, it aroused a great discussion in European football. Even the French football media, which did not have a team in the semi-finals, was slaughtered by the news of the semi-finals.

In addition to the unconditional praise of the fans of the semi-finals for their respective teams, the European football media quickly formed a relatively unified view.

Bayern vs Real Madrid:

Recent situation of the two teams
The situation of the two teams in domestic competitions is very different. Bayern completed the defense of the Bundesliga 5 rounds ahead of schedule, achieved six consecutive league championships, and reached the final of the German Cup. The domestic double crown seems to be easy.

Real Madrid temporarily ranks third in La Liga, and the hope of the championship has come to naught; the Copa del Rey also lost to Leganes in an upset, stopping the quarter-finals; the only hope is all placed in the Champions League.

In the league last weekend, Bayern beat Hannover 3 0-96 in the away game under a large-scale rotation; Real Madrid got a longer rest because of the Copa del Rey final in Sevilla, the game was postponed.

Real Madrid currently has no major injuries, while Bayern lacks Coman, Vidal and Neuer.The situation of Tolisso and Alaba still needs to continue to be observed.

historical confrontation
历史上两队交手25次（24场欧冠，1场奥迪杯），拜仁14胜2平9负（90分钟内），进38球失33球，占据一定优势。

Especially at home, Bayern has 10 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses, and the advantage is even more obvious. However, when the two teams met in the Champions League last season, Bayern lost 1-2 at home in the first round. In the second round at the Bernabeu, Bayern returned a 2- 1, but lost 2-4 in the final penalty shootout.

Game highlights
1. The goal match between Ronaldo and Lewandowski:
Both are scoring machines for each team. Ronaldo has scored 15 goals in the Champions League and is in amazing form.Lewandowski scored 39 goals in all competitions (28 goals in 28 Bundesliga games, 5 goals in 5 German Cup games, 9 goals in 5 Champions League games, and 1 goal in the Super Cup).

Before the game, Lewandowski said that when the two teams played against each other last season, Bayern lost because of bad luck and he was injured. This time it will be completely different.

2. Ronaldo is looking forward to a counterattack:
From Real Madrid's depression and wasting years on the bench to Bayern becoming the owner of Allianz, Ronaldo's changes this season are obvious to all.

Now, facing the former owner and Zidane who does not value himself, Ronaldo certainly wants to make Real Madrid "regret" with his outstanding performance.

3. Can Bayern take revenge at home:

Bayern has always been strong against Real Madrid at home, but last season they were reversed by their opponents at home, which also paved the way for the final regrettable exit.

This time, the order of the game is once again drawn first, Bayern must play well in the first round at home, and strive to lay a solid foundation for advancing to the final.

pre-match sound
Bayern coach Heynckes:

"During my entire coaching career, I have maintained an objective attitude towards the referee team. I have confidence in tomorrow's referee team. Generally speaking, the best referees will be sent to the semi-final level of the Champions League. I have confidence. I know the referee Kuipers very well and I am calm."

"Cristiano has had a unique career, but we also have Lewandowski, who has scored 39 goals this season, so you can also ask, who will stop Lewandowski."

"I don't think there will be a favorite for tomorrow's game, but I feel good."

Real Madrid coach Zidane:
"Whether it's against Real Madrid or Bayern, this is a semi-final. It's different from the past games. Last year's game is also last year. It's over. We are now in the semi-finals of the Champions League. We hope to play a wonderful game. We are ready, we know what to expect, but this is football."

"It's going to be a good game, we like it. We're in a good mood and now the players are ready to play a good game, which any player wants."

The final conclusion of the outside world is that the strength of the two teams is evenly matched, and it all depends on on-the-spot performance and luck. It just so happens that Real Madrid's luck has been a little stronger in the past two years.

Liverpool vs Roma:
Regardless of whether it is Liverpool or Rome, this is a perfect signing. After all, it has avoided the two cosmic teams. From now on, Liverpool and Rome can both look forward to the Champions League final.

Strength comparison:

It is enough to see from the German media "Transfer Market" that Liverpool's market value is as high as 5.48 million euros (Zhang Mai is only valued at 1.5 million euros), while Rome's market value is "only" 3.889 million euros, and the market value gap between the two teams is 1.5. More than [-] million euros!
Although the market value cannot explain anything, such a large gap is evidence that the outside world believes that Liverpool players are stronger than Roma players.

Liverpool's main strength lies in its crazy offense. This season, they have scored 152 goals in all competitions. Looking at the European football, they have scored 97 goals in the Premier League, 4 goals in the FA Cup, and 51 goals in the Champions League. , the most among the 32 teams participating in this event;

Supporting Liverpool's firepower is Zhang Mai and the striker trident. Zhang Mai scored 54 goals, Salah scored 39 goals, Firmino scored 24 goals, and Mane scored 16 goals. 133 balls!
In contrast, Roma, the entire team scored "only" 66 goals this season, including 50 goals in Serie A, 1 goal in the Coppa Italia and 15 goals in the Champions League, not as many goals as the Liverpool Trident.When the two teams meet, from the data comparison, Liverpool can basically suppress Roma with firepower.

What's even more frightening is that since Maguire and Van Dijk joined Liverpool, the defense has been surprisingly stable. They have kept zero opponents in the Champions League and the Premier League many times, which is unmatched by Rome.

For Roma, the scariest thing about Liverpool is Zhang Mai and Salah, who played for the Red Wolves and joined Anfield last summer for 3690 million pounds.

historical confrontation
双方在欧战一共交锋5次，红军取得2胜2平1负：1984年欧冠决赛，利物浦客场战罗马，最后红军点球大战中4-2获胜夺冠；

00-01赛季联盟杯第四轮，利物浦第一回合客场2-0完胜罗马，次回合主场0-1告负，总比分2-1晋级，且最终夺得了那个赛季的冠军；
01-02赛季欧冠第二轮小组赛，利物浦第一回合客场0-0、第二回合主场2-0完胜，红军最终以小组No.2力压红狼，杀进了八强。

In addition, in terms of the schedule, Liverpool also has some advantages. The first round of the two sides will be played on April 4, and the second round will be played on May 24.At present, Liverpool is competing with the Manchester City duo in the Premier League, and it is no problem to qualify for the Champions League next season;
As for Roma, although they are ranked fourth, they are only 1 point more than Inter Milan, which is ranked fifth. In other words, Roma needs to be distracted from competing for the qualification for the Champions League next season.

This is an advantage for Liverpool; of course, we must not forget the advantage of first guest and then home. Roma took advantage of this to complete a shocking comeback against Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

In the end, for Liverpool and Roma, who has a better chance of reaching the Champions League final?The outside world generally believes that Liverpool's chances are greater.
