Inter Milan defeated Barcelona 2:1 in an away game and swept the defending champion and Red Devils Manchester United to join the Champions League final with a total score of 6:1.

This is the first time Inter Milan has reached the Champions League final after 38 years.

Although after the first round, most people believed that Inter Milan would definitely reach the final, Barcelona was so strong that the possibility of a comeback was not impossible. It was not until the second round was over and the dust settled that media from various countries dared to Sing praises for Inter Milan's victory with confidence and boldness.

As the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, "AS" felt gloating about Barcelona's elimination: "Barcelona fell at the door of the third Champions League final in five years. This might have been their seventh appearance in the Champions League final, but Barcelona The Catalans did not perform well enough against Inter Milan in both games to defeat Mourinho. Messi's magic was completely sealed by Mourinho, the most dazzling player in the two games. The star player is Gao Xiaodong who scored three goals and assisted three goals.”

Another pro-Real Madrid media, Marca, said: "Well done to Inter Milan! Well done to Mourinho! Gao Xiaodong decided the game! Now, the Bernabeu will not encounter the blasphemy of centuries-old enemies, the Italians and the British. The final will be played at the Bernabeu. This is football."

"Gazzetta dello Sport" commented: "Mourinho put shackles on Messi, but Gao Xiaodong can play as much as he wants! Inter Milan won the most important victory in 38 years. This is the greatest moment in Serie A. One, now Inter Milan can fight for Serie A's first treble.

"Corriere dello Sport" said: "After 38 years, Inter Milan has reached the final again. They have won the league championship three rounds in advance. They only need two games to win the first treble in Serie A history. This is an achievement that Inter Milan has not achieved in the "Great International Era". Once they defeat Roma in the Italian Cup and Manchester United in the Champions League final, they will create an unprecedented record, and Mourinho will also become Inter Milan's most successful player. Great coach.”

The British "Times" commented: "The Champions League rookies have finally been reborn under the leadership of Mourinho. They have become the best team in Europe. In the games against Chelsea and Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan showed terrifying defensive and offensive power. , Sir Alex Ferguson must play up the spirit of 12 points, the Inter Milan this season is no longer the Inter Milan he defeated last season."

The headline of the British "Daily Mail" is: "Mourinho's army returns with horror, Inter Milan swept six-time champion Barcelona 6:1 in two rounds!"

Germany's "Bild" commented: "Although Barcelona showed the courage to break the boat in this game and also got opportunities, they could not break through Mourinho's iron barrel formation, and they could not prevent Gao Xiaodong's counterattack, and they were eliminated. It’s not unfair to be eliminated. What makes us regret is that the great Messi was unable to score a goal against Mourinho’s team 7 times. This may be an important reason why Barcelona was eliminated.”

"France's L'Equipe" commented.

"Guardiola's team won everything last season, but now Mourinho's team has brought them back to earth and they are no longer the invincible dream team.

Inter Milan almost gave up their offense and all retracted their defense. This is the style of Italian football. They were also sent off one person. However, Gao Xiaodong's goal wiped out Barcelona's advantage! "

The only one who feels sorry is Barcelona's mouthpiece.

"World Sports News" questioned Inter Milan: "It's like there is a bus at the door, and Inter Milan's players all defend in the backcourt. If the whole world plays like Mourinho, then football will no longer be what people want." An important project in the sport we love. Although we were eliminated, Barcelona has no time to be sad. We should focus on defending the league title as Guardiola said. We still control our own destiny. Guardiola must let His players keep their spirits up, after all, this season is not over yet, we must win the last championship."

"Daily Sports" said that "Barcelona fans did everything they could. They shouted at Barcelona throughout the game and caused trouble for Inter Milan. Pedro's goal and Motta's penalty made Barcelona's final The dream lasted for 20 minutes, but facing Inter Milan's iron barrel formation, imagination, gorgeous skills, and exquisite coordination were all in vain. Guardiola's changes and on-the-spot scheduling did not have the desired effect, and then high Xiaodong’s goal ended everything.”

When the European media reported, the credit was mainly attributed to Mourinho's tactics, and then Gao Xiaodong's personal performance was mentioned. However, the Chinese media reports put all the credit for Inter Milan's advancement on Gao Xiaodong.

"Football News" said that Gao Xiaodong had three shots and three passes, and single-handedly brought Inter Milan back to the finals after 38 years. In terms of performance alone, Gao Xiaodong can be said to have completely defeated Messi, the Footballer of the Year.

"Sports Weekly" believes that Gao Xiaodong played decisively in the strong dialogue between Inter Milan and Chelsea, and Inter Milan and Barcelona. He was completely at the level of the alien Ronaldo back then. If Inter Milan can defeat Manchester United in the final, Gao Xiaodong He has every chance to compete for the Ballon d'Or at the age of 20.

Even China Central Television took the time to report on the news that Gao Xiaodong led Inter Milan to the final, and gave Gao Xiaodong a reputation for bringing honor to the country and rectifying the name of Chinese football.

Whether it is China or Europe, the media's comments are only biased. The media who like Gao Xiaodong attribute Inter Milan's promotion to Gao Xiaodong's personal performance, and the media who like Mourinho attribute the victory to Mourinho. The tactics were a complete victory, but on the Internet, Gao Xiaodong's fans and Mourinho's fans got into a quarrel.

Gao Xiaodong's fans believe that Gao Xiaodong's promotion to the finals was entirely his own effort. Without Gao Xiaodong, Mourinho couldn't even advance to the quarterfinals last season.

Mourinho fans believe that this is Mourinho's tactics that completely defeated Guardiola. In terms of personal ability, Messi is much better than Gao Xiaodong. Why Messi has not performed well? The main reason is that Mourinho's tactics have locked up Messi. West.

In the beginning, the public was right and the mother-in-law was right, and everyone said their own merits. In the end, it turned into mutual dissatisfaction. Gao Xiaodong’s fans said that Mourinho hugged Gao Xiaodong’s thigh, and Mourinho’s fans said that Gao Xiaodong Relying on Mourinho's tactical system, the two sides attacked each other and almost became enemies.

Gao Xiaodong naturally didn't care who was the biggest contributor to the team's victory, but Xiao Le also often went online. Seeing fans from both sides attacking each other, Xiao Le was worried about causing Mourinho's misunderstanding, so he wanted to use Gao Xiaodong's Posted an explanation on Weibo and Twitter, hoping that the fans on both sides would calm down, but Gao Xiaodong believed that this was just for the fans to entertain themselves, and posting an explanation would only cause Mourinho to misunderstand, so it was better to ignore it, Xiao Le and Monkey etc. After careful discussion, they felt that this was actually an opportunity to increase Gao Xiaodong's popularity and fan loyalty. Instead of explaining it, they used trolls on the Internet to fuel the fire, making Gao Xiaodong's fame and influence on the Internet more and more important. Catching up with Messi and Ronaldo.
