Chapter 573: Qualifying in Advance

Pyatov lay on the ground, looking at the football in his goal net, his face full of despair.

Standing outside the stadium, Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Fonseca was stunned, staring at the ball in the goal, his lips trembling.

All the players of Shakhtar Donetsk were stunned, standing stupidly on the field, their faces full of disbelief.

"Goooooooooooal——"

Andy Gray, the Sky TV commentator, sounded the seventh time in the live studio with his signature drawn-out sound.

"The ball is in, the seventh goal, Li Qing scored the seventh goal of this game!"

He Wei, the commentator of Tianchao Channel 5, shouted at the top of his lungs: "It's crazy. The Donetsk Shakhtar team was shot into a sieve by Li Qing in this game, and they have completely become the background board of the World Footballer of the Year."

Zhan Jun, the commentator of Juli TV, also shouted: "Luck is on Liverpool's side. Li Qing is simply God's favorite. I guess no one in the Donetsk Shakhtar team could have thought that this goal would actually go in."

"A brilliant shot, an incredible goal, Li Qing keeps breaking his own record. It's unimaginable who can stop him from scoring a goal..."

The commentators did their best to praise Li Qing for this goal. Li Qing, who tied the cross-century record, was once again supported by his teammates to celebrate this incredible goal together on the court.

Liverpool head coach Klopp and his assistants hugged each other. They didn't expect that Li Qing actually scored a goal.

Countless Liverpool fans in the stands, fans under the big screen outside the stadium, and fans sitting in front of the TV at this moment, after being dumbfounded by the scene just now, began to burst into deafening cheers.

The little guy from Kirkby

If you underestimate him, you are dead

Lightning-speed, unparalleled skills

One goal after another led the great KOP to victory

Win the championship

Goals, goals

Never-ending goals

Li, our king

Accept the sincere kneeling of your believers

Victory, victory

…

Liverpool fans in the stadium, holding up the scarves, posters, banners, slogans and other items with the team logo in their hands, sang the catchy "Song of Li Qing" loudly.

The atmosphere in the entire stadium rose to the peak, and the singing like a tsunami, wave after wave, continued to the entire stadium, and resounded through the sky.

The whole Liverpool, everyone who watched the scene of the goal just now, was impressed by Li Qing's creativity.

At this moment, Li Qing was the king of Anfield. His seven goals, while creating history, impressed everyone on the scene.

It is safe to say that in the next century, or even longer, it is estimated that it will be difficult for anyone to achieve such an incredible performance as Li Qing today.

The next game was completely reduced to garbage time. The players of the Donetsk Shakhtar team on the field became lost and distracted. Every minute on the field became a torture for them.

Fortunately, Kassai seemed to hear their voices. When there was half a minute left in injury time, two short and one long whistles sounded on the field. The game ended. Liverpool defeated the Donetsk Shakhtar team 7-2 at their home court.

At the routine press conference after the game, Fonseca, the head coach of the Donetsk Shakhtar team, took the initiative to take responsibility for the loss of the game as usual, but it was obvious that he did not want to say much about today's game. He simply said a few words and left in a hurry.

In the home team's press conference, Klopp praised the team, especially Li Qing. Although there were many things that made him dissatisfied during the game today, Klopp had no reason to be unhappy to win the game in the end.

Then the whole of Liverpool became a sea of ​​joy, and the excited fans took to the streets, and the whole city became a city that never sleeps.

The next morning, the Manchester Evening News, the Times and other heavyweight newspapers and magazines in Great Britain reported the game extensively, and the whole of England was shocked.

Before this, in the Premier League, only Alan Shearer, Sergio Aguero, Andy Cole, Dimitar Berbatov and Colin Defoe had achieved the feat of five goals in a single game, and some of them used penalties.

Li Qing scored seven goals in a single game, and all of them were goals in open play. It has been a long time since England has heard such exciting news. The opponent team is also a Champions League opponent, so the gold content of these seven goals has become more substantial.

Not only that, Li Qing's total number of goals in the Champions League has successfully surpassed the legendary Puskas, and he is only one goal away from Aguero in front of him.

In another Champions League, Manchester City, which has Aguero, lost 0-2 to the home team Belgrade Red Star.

There is no harm without comparison. In other games with Premier League teams, Manchester United narrowly defeated Juventus, which has C Ronaldo, 2-1, and Tottenham tied with opponent Eindhoven away. The situation of qualifying is not optimistic.

Among the Premier League teams participating in the Champions League, Manchester United has 7 points in four games. In the group, Juventus has 9 points, Valencia has 5 points, and Young Boys Bern has 1 point at the bottom.

In the next round, Juventus will play Valencia at home, and Manchester United will play Young Boys Bern at home.

Manchester United must defeat its opponents to take the initiative to qualify in their own hands.

Tottenham now has four points, while Barcelona, ​​which is in the same group, has already qualified with ten points. Inter Milan has seven points, and PSV Eindhoven is at the bottom with one point. In the next round, Tottenham will play against Inter Milan and PSV Eindhoven will play against Barcelona.

Like Manchester United, Tottenham must defeat their opponents at home to keep a glimmer of hope for promotion, otherwise they can only prepare to play in the Europa League.

As for Manchester City, the death group is really well-deserved. After four rounds of games, all four teams have the possibility of final promotion.

Manchester City and Naples have six points each, temporarily ranking first and second, and Red Star Belgrade and Paris Saint-Germain are closely behind with four points each.

In the next round, Paris Saint-Germain will face Manchester City at home. This will be a focus battle. If Guardiola does not want to be completely passive in the last round, he must kill his opponent at Paris' home court.

But no one can guarantee that he can easily score points against Paris Saint-Germain, which has strong players such as Neymar, Mbappe, and Cavani, not even Guardiola.

So in this comparison, Liverpool seems much more relaxed, and they don't have to worry about the situation in the next group stage.

The other two opponents in the same group, Lyon was tied by Hoffenheim at home, and ranked second and third with three points, and Shakhtar Donetsk ranked last with two points. Therefore, Liverpool won all four games and has secured the top spot two rounds in advance.

Lyon, Hoffenheim and Shakhtar Donetsk will fight for the second place in the last two rounds of the Champions League group stage.
