Chapter 128 Want to make a comeback?
On March 3, in the 6th round of Ligue 29, Lyon played against Guingamp at home.

Three days ago, Zhang Chaoqiang had just celebrated his 21st birthday with Annie.

So this is his first game since he turned 21.

In the end, both Zhang Chaoqiang and Lacazette scored twice, and Lyon easily beat Guingamp 4:1 at home, taking all three points.

However, Paris on the other side also did not lose points. They won the opponent 1:0 economically at home.

So the two teams still maintained a point difference.

However, Ibrahimovic has not scored in the last two rounds of Ligue [-], while Zhang Chaoqiang has scored three goals in the last two rounds.

Therefore, in the Ligue 28 scorer list, Zhang Chaoqiang scored 23 goals, and Ibrahimovic only has [-] goals for the time being.

The goal gap between the two has widened to 5 goals.

After the 29th round of Ligue [-], the second round of the Champions League round of [-] began.

Still play four sets of games first.

Real Madrid beat Roma 2:0 at home and double-killed their opponents with a total score of 4:0 to advance.

This guy Ronaldo scored another goal in the game. The number of goals in the Champions League this season has reached 13 goals, and he is almost locked in the Champions League Golden Boot.

Greater Paris defeated Benfica 2:1 at home and advanced with a total score of 4:2.

This is the fourth consecutive season that Paris has successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which is indeed passable.

At least compared with Manchester City, who is also a local tyrant, the Champions League results are better.

Manchester City was a local tyrant earlier, but their Champions League results are not as good as Paris.

In addition, Ibrahimovic scored in both rounds, completing the personal record of scoring in two consecutive Champions League knockout games for the first time in his career.

Wolfsburg beat Zenit St. Petersburg 1:0 at home and advanced 4:2 on aggregate.

After selling the core player De Bruyne and being able to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Wolfsburg can be considered a bit of a dark horse.

Manchester City drew 0:0 with Dynamo Kiev at home and successfully advanced with a total score of 3:1.

This is the first time in Manchester City's history that they have advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

After two defeats in the group stage and two defeats in the top [-], Blue Moon has finally created a record in team history.

Moreover, the English media are well aware that the results of the Premier League teams in the Champions League this season can basically only depend on Manchester City.

The Premier League has played four teams, Manchester United has been eliminated in the group stage, Chelsea and Arsenal are at a huge disadvantage in the first round, the former lost 1:3 away to Lyon, and the latter lost 0:2 to Barcelona at home.

In general, there is a high probability that Manchester City will be the only Premier League team in the Champions League quarter-finals this season.

Of course, the English media have not given up on the London duo, and are still trying to find a comeback point for them.

Especially for Chelsea, the English media believes that there is a good chance of a comeback.

Because the opponent is only Lyon.

The four groups of matches in the middle of the week ended, and the four teams of Real Madrid, Paris, Wolfsburg and Manchester City took the lead in advancing to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Just wait for the other four groups of matches to end, and everyone will draw lots for the quarterfinals.

On March 3, in the 12th round of Ligue 30, Lyon challenged Rennes away.

Due to the upcoming away game against Chelsea in the middle of last week, Fournier arranged an appropriate rotation for this game.

Valbuena and Jalai, two veterans, and Tolisso, who had a thigh discomfort after the last round of the league, took a rest together.

Unexpectedly, such an arrangement caused Lyon to lose points again.

The away game took a one-goal lead early on, but it took a long time to expand the score.

In the 83rd minute, Rennes' 97-year-old Ousmane Dembele sent an assist after a quick breakthrough from the wing, and Lyon suffered an away tie.

The guy hadn't even made his debut when he faced Lyon in the first leg of the season.

But since his debut in November, Dembele has quickly become famous. Like Zhang Chaoqiang, he is known for his speed.

In terms of attributes, Dembele's speed has reached 84 points, and his burst has reached 90 points. Before the game, Zhang Chaoqiang stole a bit of the burst attribute.

It's just that other attributes are not that high, and the skills under his feet are a bit rough.

But in the last round of Ligue [-], Dembele successfully staged a hat-trick against Nantes.

Wearing a Ligue 19 cap at the age of [-] is a bit like Zhang Chaoqiang last season.

It is said that that hat-trick has successfully attracted the attention of many teams, and even Lyon seems to be very interested in him.

According to the Lyon media, this is preparations for Zhang Chaoqiang's departure.

If Zhang Chaoqiang leaves the team in the summer, Dembele can just take over.

Unexpectedly, in this game, Dembele immediately sent off his Mawei with a perfect assist.

Fournier specially arranged for him to be restricted, but it was restricted for the entire game, and he seized the opportunity when he was slightly relaxed at the last moment.

In any case, Lyon did draw with Rennes 1:1 away, losing two points.

On the other side, Paris beat the last newly promoted Ma Troyes 9:0 in an away game, and Ibrahimovic also scored four goals.

This is the second big four in Ligue [-] this season since Zhang Chaoqiang.

In the standings, Paris now has 76 points and Lyon has 73 points.

The two teams returned to a three-point gap.

The key is that Lyon and Paris have no chance to directly play against each other.

If Lyon wants to compete for the championship, they can only wait for Paris to make mistakes and lose points.

In addition, in the scorer list, Zhang Chaoqiang did not score this round, and Ibrahimovic took the opportunity to recover four goals.

At present, Zhang Chaoqiang has 28 goals and Ibrahimovic has 27 goals.

The battle for the Golden Boot has also become fierce.

Losing points in the away game, the Lyon team did not have much regret, because the team had to organize a trip to London quickly.

In the past two weeks, the English media has been hyping Chelsea's comeback, and even the entire Lyon team in France has heard of it.

According to the historical data of the Champions League, Chelsea is indeed on the verge of being out.

But in the mouth of the English media, Chelsea still has a lot of opportunities, as if the score in the first round was only 1:2, not 1:3.

However, there is indeed a certain possibility of a comeback for Chelsea.

Since the UEFA Champions League adopted the two-round format and introduced the away goal mechanism, only four of the teams that lost 1:3 away in the first round managed to make a comeback.

99/00赛季欧冠八强，巴萨首回合客场1:3输给切尔西，次回合主场九10分钟3:1扳平，加时赛连入两球最终逆转。

That series was the source of the feud between Barcelona and Chelsea, as Chelsea were sent off twice in extra time and Barcelona scored both goals from penalties.

So Chelsea was very unconvinced, thinking that the referee dominated the game.

After that, as the madman Mourinho coached the Blues, the two teams encountered consecutive collisions in the Champions League, and the grievances became deeper and deeper.

11/12赛季欧冠十六强，切尔西首回合客场1:3输给意甲那不勒斯，但次回合主场九10分钟3:1扳平，加时赛再入一球成功逆转。

13/14赛季欧冠八强，切尔西首回合客场1:3输给大巴黎，次回合主场2:0赢球，凭借客场进球优势完成翻盘。

14/15赛季欧冠八强，拜仁首回合客场1:3爆冷输给波尔图，次回合主场6:1屠杀式翻盘。

In general, Chelsea participated in three of the four comebacks of the same type in the history of the Champions League.

Get flipped once, flip someone else twice.

Among the two key comebacks, one happened to be the Ligue [-] team that came back.

So this time it was another 1:3 away game loss to the Ligue [-] team, and the English media hyped wildly, as if a comeback was destined.
