Man City and Inter Milan enter C1 semi-finals

* The match between Bayern Munich and Man City was quite balanced. Although the home team was under great pressure in terms of the score after losing the first leg, it was the team from the Premier League who took the lead.

Accordingly, after missing the opportunity due to an unsuccessful penalty kick in the 35th minute, Haaland scored at the beginning of the second half after a combination with Kevin de Bruyne.

In the final minutes of the match, the home team at Allianz Arena scored an equalizer 1-1 thanks to Kimmich from the 11m mark, but that was not enough for the German representative to make a miraculous victory.

With a 1-1 draw in the second leg and a 4-1 aggregate win, Man City are through to the semi-finals of the Champions League. They will face Real Madrid in the last four. Earlier, Los Blancos beat Chelsea 4-0 over two legs in the quarter-finals.

* In the match at the same time, Inter Milan had a 3-3 draw at home against Benfica, thereby winning a ticket to the semi-finals with a total score of 5-3 after 180 minutes of play.

This was perhaps the most exciting score chase in the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season. Inter Milan's goals were scored by Barella (14'), Lautaro Martínez (65') and Joaquin Correa (78'), while Aursnes (38'), António Silva (86') and Musa (90'+5) scored for the visitors.

Despite losing the victory at home, coach Simone Inzaghi and his team still won the right to enter the semi-finals of the C1 Cup to meet their great rival AC Milan - the team that defeated Napoli with a total score of 2-1 after two matches in the quarter-finals.

* According to Dailymail, coach Erik ten Hag has named Tyrell Malacia, Marcus Rashford, Marcel Sabitzer and Luke Shaw back in MU's squad for the match against Sevilla in the second leg of the C2 Cup quarter-finals in the early morning of April 21 (Vietnam time).

Thus, the Manchester team will have the best force for the match against Sevilla. In particular, the presence of Rashford helps the Old Trafford team hope to solve the problem of scoring goals. Currently, Rashford is the team's number one scorer with 28 goals since the beginning of the season.

* The Athletic reported that AC Milan's board of directors has reached a preliminary agreement with striker Giroud after the French striker's great contributions to the Milan team this season. In Serie A, Giroud contributed with 8 goals and 4 assists after a total of 26 appearances for AC Milan. Meanwhile, in this year's C1 Cup, the striker born in 1986 also contributed with 8 goals after 10 matches and helped AC Milan reach the Champions League semi-finals after defeating Napoli.

* According to beIN Sports, although Arsenal are gradually losing their advantage over Man City, former coach Arsene Wenger still supports his old team to win the title at the end of the season. Currently, Arsenal is still leading the Premier League table, but the gap with the second-placed team, Man City, is only 4 points. Man City has 1 match left and will face Arsenal on the morning of April 27.

* Statistics from ESPN show that coach Frank Lampard has just marked a terrible milestone in Chelsea's history after a 0-2 defeat to Real Madrid in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals. Accordingly, the English coach became the only Chelsea coach to lose his first 4 matches since taking office.

Having been eliminated from the Champions League this season from the quarter-finals, Chelsea have almost no chance of participating in the top European club competition next season. The reason is that in the Premier League, the Stamford Bridge team is only ranked 11th, 17 points behind the group with a place in the Champions League, while there are only 7 matches left to end the season.

In a related development, according to Sky Sports, the process of appointing a new coach for The Blues is making further progress. Julian Nagelsmann is the number 1 candidate to replace coach Frank Lampard. Chelsea's board of directors has begun negotiations with this coach born in 1987.

* According to The Mirror, MU, Chelsea, and Liverpool are paying special attention to midfielder Matheus Nunes, who has been playing quite well for Wolves. Although Wolves' form has been quite inconsistent, the Portuguese striker is still playing flexibly in the team's midfield.

* Goal reported that in Al Nassr's 0-2 defeat to Al Hilal on the morning of April 19, Ronaldo suddenly grabbed his crotch when he was mocked by opposing fans. This action angered the Saudi people, especially when it occurred during the fasting month of Ramadan. Therefore, fans unanimously called for CR7 to be expelled from Saudi Arabia. However, Al Nassr defended himself and affirmed that Ronaldo had a "sensitive" injury in the groin area.

* According to Le Parisien, negotiations between Messi's representatives and PSG have stopped without much progress. The two sides have huge differences in thinking about the contract terms and could end up breaking up.

PSG actually want to keep Messi in the squad and have been negotiating since he returned earlier this year after winning the 2022 World Cup with Argentina. However, they have been unable to find a solution because they need Messi to agree to a pay cut due to Financial Fair Play (FFP) issues.
