This past night, we witnessed the charm and indifference of football. The FA Cup and Serie A have produced a number of spectacular games with Chelsea, Manchester United, Liverpool and Inter Milan – the big four – winning against each other and showing their quality and team spirit.
Despite being riddled with injuries and missing key players such as Mohamed Salah, Liverpool showed their fighting spirit at Anfield's home stadium and won comfortably 3-0 to Southampton to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Especially the outstanding performances of the young players, the goals of Coomas and Dans not only showed their talent, but also gave a glimpse into the future of Liverpool.
The match between Manchester United and Chelsea was equally dramatic. Despite the loss of a number of key players due to injury, especially the absence of Hojlund, they showed their determination and fighting spirit in the final moments of the game through Casemiro's crucial goal to achieve a stunner against Nottingham Forest. Similarly, Conor Gallagher's stoppage-time goal against Leeds United made Chelsea a comeback victory, and it was a thrilling game like this.
In Serie A, Inter's performance is even more impressive. They thrashed the game against Atalanta 4-0 and Lautaro's goal from the world was even more spectacular. Such a victory not only cemented Inter's leading position in the league, but also showed us their strength and tactical excellence.
These games are not only a contest of team strength, but also a reflection of strategy, will, and team spirit. Whether it's the outstanding performances of Liverpool's young players, the comeback victories of Manchester United and Chelsea, or the dominance of Inter Milan, we have seen the infinite charm and possibilities of football. Every game of these giants makes us feel the joy, passion and dreams that football brings us.
