In the early morning of April 12, Beijing time, all four of the first legs of the Europa League 1/4 finals ended, and due to the three-goal defeat at home of the top favorite Liverpool, the next championship pattern began to change. At present, Liverpool is away from the countdown to the game, and Serie A is basically locked in the top 2 places, because there is still a civil war between Milan and Rome, in addition, Leverkusen and Benfica are in a good situation to advance, and the Premier League team is likely to face total annihilation.
Top half: Liverpool 0-3 Atalanta, Benfica 2-1 Marseille
Before the start of the quarter-finals, Liverpool has been listed as the number one favorite to win the Europa League, and before the game, it was generally expected that Atalanta could be eliminated easily, but the first leg sat on the home advantage, and Klopp led the team to a 0-3 defeat, not only suffered the worst defeat of the season, but also broke the unbeaten record of 34 consecutive home games.
This fiasco has exposed a lot of defensive problems to Liverpool, because Atalanta is not a fish belly, Liverpool wants to complete a four-goal comeback away from home, I am afraid it is unlikely, so it is already on the verge of outing.
In another game in this semi-zone, Benfica and Marseille two former Champions League champions competed, and in the end, Benfica had the last laugh at home, relying on the joint goals of Rafa Silva and Di Maria, beating Marseille 2-1 and taking the lead in promotion.
Second half: Milan 0-1 Roma, Bayer Leverkusen 2-0 West Ham
The match between Milan and Roma is a civil war between Serie A teams, after Milan won seven consecutive victories and beat Roma twice in the league this season, but Milan did not play well at home, and finally lost 0-1, and Roma also completed four consecutive clean sheets.
Next week, Roma return to home and only need a draw to knock out Milan and advance to the next round. According to statistics, since De Rossi took office, Roma has played 8 home games, achieved a record of 7 wins and 1 loss, and only lost to Inter Milan in the league.
As the only unbeaten team in the top five leagues this season, Bayer Leverkusen continued to soar, facing Premier League powerhouse West Ham United to complete the hanging beat, winning 42 games unbeaten in all competitions, tying the record of the top five leagues.
In the whole game, Bayer Leverkusen completed 33 shots and 11 on target, scored 2 goals in the last minute to win the game, West Ham United only had 1 shot on goal, from the data shows the huge difference in strength between the two teams, Leverkusen has entered the semi-finals.
Therefore, what do you think of the top four in this season's Europa League: Bayer Leverkusen, Roma, Atalanta, Benfica?
