1160 Let's go to Lisbon!

After playing Dortmund, Real Madrid successfully advanced to the Champions League semi-finals, and their opponent was Bayern Munich, the old enemy last season.

The Bundesliga team beat Manchester United 3-1 at home and won the right to advance with a total score of 4-2.

In the other half, Atletico Madrid scored a goal of 1-0 at home with the goal of Cork's opening five minutes, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 2-1.

The fantasy Barcelona, ​​which is full of stars and stars, suffered a tragic Waterloo in front of Atletico Madrid, which is as strong as a wall. This has almost caused extensive discussions among media and fans around the world after the game. Everyone is analyzing what happened to Barcelona this season? Why is the lineup so strong but it ends up losing one after another?

Because of this failure, Martino was basically sentenced to death.

The Daily Sports even asserted that even if Martino's team won the championship in the subsequent Cup of del Rey final, it will be dismissed after the season ends. Bartomeu is already starting to look for a candidate for Barcelona's coach in the new season.

Chelsea defeated Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 at home. The Blues finally eliminated Paris Saint-Germain 3-3 with a narrow advantage of away goals, advanced to the semi-finals, and encountered Atletico Madrid.

In this way, the semi-finals formed a pattern where Real Madrid faces Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid faces Chelsea.

This also surprised Real Madrid, because before this season, Ancelotti once said that Atletico Madrid has the strength to the semi-finals of the Champions League, or even the finals. As a result, Simeone's bed sheet army really made it to the semi-finals.

After learning that they encountered Real Madrid in the semi-finals, Bayern Munich was very excited because they had already sniped Real Madrid in the semi-finals as early as last season, which made the Bundesliga giants full of confidence and firmly believed that they could defeat Real Madrid again this season and advance to the Champions League final.

This time, Bayern Munich will not let the championship fall.

In an interview with the media, Guardiola also publicly stated that he was full of hunger for the Champions League championship.

Speaking of which, he is quite unlucky, because in the years he coached at Barcelona, ​​although his football philosophy has changed the entire European football world and even the world football world, in fact, he has never won even a Champions League championship, which makes Guardiola feel regretful. On the contrary, after he left the team, his assistant Biranova led the team to win the Champions League.

Because of this, Guardiola is full of tireless pursuit of the Champions League.

Bayern Munich fans are also full of desire because they have been away from the Champions League for more than a decade. Last season, Bayern Munich lost to Barcelona in the final, which made them feel very painful.

This time, in order to encourage the team, De Bayern Munich fans even prepared special T-shirts for the game.

The German newspaper published the style of a T-shirt, which was a red T-shirt. The middle of the chest under the round neck was Bayern Munich's team badge, and the bottom of the team badge was written in German, "Let's go to Lisbon!"

Lisbon, Portugal, is the venue for the Champions League final this season. Bayern Munich's slogan represents their ambitions and confidence in their team.

Below this German slogan, there are two lines of black Spanish, "We are black beasts!"

This sentence represents their motivation for the team and is written specifically in Spanish. It is obvious that I hope that Real Madrid fans can understand it. This is their provocation to Real Madrid fans and expressing their confidence in defeating Real Madrid to enter the finals.

At the same time, this is also an encouragement to the team.

At the bottom are two lines of white English, namely Bayern Munich's match against Real Madrid and the 2014 Champions League semi-finals, explaining the time and object.

It can be said that this is Bayern Munich declaring war on Real Madrid.

Real Madrid did not respond to the provocations from opponents fans and media, because the schedule of La Liga is very intensive and Real Madrid can't find time to deal with this "opponent".

April 13th, Bernabeu Stadium.

In the 33rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid plays Almeria at home.

As the King's Cup semi-finals are about to reach the mid-week, Ancelotti rotated again for this game, but Yang Yang still volunteered to play in the league because he felt that he was in very good shape.

In the 28th minute, young player Nacho passed the ball in the backcourt. Yang Yang stopped the ball and passed the penalty area. Di Maria broke into the right side of the penalty area and broke into the far corner, opening the first record for Real Madrid.

After the second half of the game, Yang Yang made another assist in the 53rd minute, and Hazard scored a goal, further expanding the score and basically secured the victory for Real Madrid.

Just three minutes later, Yang Yang made another cross from the right, and Isco pushed the ball from the left side of the penalty area, hitting a three-to-zero shot.

In the 65th minute, Ilia Lamendi passed the penalty area, Yang Yang successfully counterattacked and scored a goal with a volley, scoring his 50th league goal of the season.

Then, Yang Yang was replaced by Morata, and the Real Madrid young player received another pass from Isco in the 86th minute, scoring a goal for Real Madrid. The final score was set at 5-0, and Real Madrid defeated Almeria at home.

Yang Yang scored three assists and was elected as the best player in the game.

...

Real Madrid has won consecutive victories, and Atletico Madrid has also been terrifying recently, with only Barcelona.

Barcelona challenged Granada away in this round. This should have been a sure game, but unexpectedly, Brasimi scored a goal for Granada in the 16th minute, and then no matter how Barcelona attacked, they could not break through Granada's goal.

What's more serious is that Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar are all present, and the three superstars are all playing all over the game, which is surprising.

The three superstars were present at the same time and could not even break Granada's goal. This is really incredible.

What is even more terrifying is that Barcelona's ball possession rate is as high as 81%, while Granada only has only 19%, which has created the most disparity in ball possession ratio in La Liga in the past few years.

But with such an amazing ball possession rate and so many superstars, Barcelona has never been able to score. What's the solution?

And in this state, in the mid-week Cup final, can Barcelona stop Real Madrid, which is like a wolf?

Martino's answer is, yes!

April 16th, Valencia Mestania Stadium.

In the Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid plays against Barcelona.

The game reached the 85th minute, and both sides scored one goal, maintaining a balanced position one-to-one.

...

In this game, both sides adopted a four-three-three formation.

Barcelona's lineup is goalkeeper Valdes, the defense is Alba, Mathieu, Valtra and Alves, the midfield is Fabregas, Busquets and Xavi, and the frontcourt is Neymar, Messi and Iniesta.

There was a major change in this game, that is, Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo was placed on the bench by Martino and not placed on the roster.

Real Madrid also ranked 433, with goalkeeper Casillas, Marcelo, Fermall, Ramos and Carvajal in the back line, and Xavi Martinez was injured, but in this game, Ancelotti ranked Xavi Alonso's single midfielder, David Silva and Modric formed the midfield.

In the frontcourt, Yang Yang returned to his most familiar left winger position, Suarez was in the center, and Di Maria played the right winger.

The Argentine winger has been in great shape recently and has performed very well. He has completely pressed Robben on the bench. There are constant rumors of the Dutch Wing leaving the team.

Both sides made very bold adjustments, and Real Madrid also adopted targeted tactics in the past, pressing and pressing Barcelona at high positions at the beginning. In the 11th minute, Real Madrid quickly counterattacked after intercepting the ball in the midfield.

David Silva intercepted the ball successfully and passed it to Suarez, who then passed it back to David Silva.

The Spanish midfielder passed to the left. After Yang Yang dunked over Alves, he made a diagonal pass on his right foot. Di Maria threw away Alba, who was not staring at the person, quickly broke through the penalty area and scored a low shot, opening the first record for Real Madrid.

But after that, Barcelona continued to control the situation on the court, while Real Madrid focused on steady defense and counterattack.

Until the second half, Martino made a substitution adjustment during the break. Cristiano Ronaldo replaced Fabregas and replaced Iniesta back to the midfield. The Portuguese appeared on the front line.

This substitution also represents Martino's reflection on his opening tactics. Barcelona played in the first half without any offensiveness, and their speed and game pace were also slow. Although they had obvious advantage in possession, they had a serious lack of threat on the offensive end.

After Cristiano Ronaldo came on the court, Barcelona's frontcourt offense began to gain altitude and speed.

In the 68th minute, Xavi took a corner kick, Real Madrid missed a person in the penalty area, and Bartra headed the ball in front of the goal, winning a game for Barcelona.

Both sides returned to the same starting line.

He was tied by Barcelona, ​​but Ancelotti had no intention of substitution and continued to adopt a steady defense counterattack tactic.

Barcelona held the ball in hand, but there were no substitutions. They continued to organize and plan the offense patiently, waited patiently for the opportunity and looked for opportunities. Both sides adopted a conservative strategy.

It is obvious that both Ancelotti and Martino were affected by the King's Cup final, and no one was willing to make mistakes easily, and even began to focus on overtime, or even penalty shootouts.

This explains why neither party intends to replace others.

The competition time passes by bit by bit.

During a fast attack, Barcelona suddenly made a cold arrow and shot a long shot. Casillas quickly saved it from the baseline and won another corner kick, which made Real Madrid nervous.

But this time, no one grabbed Barcelona's corner kick, and after taking it from the right, it fell directly to the left.

Marcelo quickly rushed out of the penalty area, chased the ball, and then grabbed the ball before it left the sideline, and passed it to the front.
