The 2-1 defeat away to Juventus allowed Atletico Madrid to advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

But what dominated the front pages of the world's major media the next day was Real Madrid, who eliminated the Red Devils Manchester United 6-2 over two legs, especially the number one centre-forward Ronaldo, who scored a hat-trick.

Countless fans are chanting in unison: Aliens have captured Old Trafford!

The two games were 3-1, which once again proved the strength of Real Madrid, and the call to defend the Champions League was unprecedentedly high.

The Ace newspaper, which is close to Real Madrid, published a commentary article as soon as possible after the game, saying in a high-profile manner that Real Madrid will become the first team to successfully defend the title since the Champions League was restructured.

Of course, there is a premise to continue the excellent performances of these two games.

In contrast, Atletico Madrid's away reversal of Juventus, although it was also a two-legged double kill, and it was also an away reversal, but it was far less impressive than the city's sworn rivals.

But Madrid's presence in the semi-finals of the Champions League has also caught the attention of fans around the world.

So far this season, four Madrid derbies have been played, from the Spanish Super Cup to the UEFA Super Cup to La Liga, and Real Madrid have not been able to take advantage of their city rivals.

Now, as the season draws to a close, the fifth Madrid derby will determine the La Liga title and a centenary* celebration of Atletico Madrid, and the sixth and seventh matches, the Champions League semi-finals, are definitely the most important derby.

If it was before, many people may think that Real Madrid has lost nine games in a row, how can it win?

But for now, everything is still possible.

With the arrival of Woodgate, Real Madrid's backline has been strengthened and solidified.

Since the introduction of England's central defenders, the Galaxy has won more than a dozen games on all fronts, and their performances have also overshadowed one game, and the limelight has overwhelmed their sworn enemies in the same city.

The star-studded midfield, the strongest attacking line-up in the world, and a solid midfield defence have convinced everyone that Real Madrid have what it takes to compete with Atletico Madrid.

Even judging from the performance in recent times, the Galaxy Battleship is fully capable of successfully counterattacking!

This also made the atmosphere of the decisive battle in Madrid unprecedentedly high, and the fans of both sides were very tense.

In the other half, AC Milan beat Deportivo La Coruna 0-4 away to almost advance to the tournament, and then returned home to beat Irueta 1-0 to knock out the opponent 5-0.

Cooper's Inter Milan was 1-0 at home and 1-2 away, although the aggregate score was 2-2, but Inter Milan eliminated Benitez's Valencia by virtue of the advantage of away goals and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

The Champions League semi-finals were eventually divided between La Liga and Serie A, and they were all local derbies.

This quickly became a popular story among fans all over the world.

But in Spain, after playing the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, all eyes were immediately on Madrid's Calderón Stadium.

…………

For several days on end, the skies over Madrid were gray and gloomy.

Some say that this is the shadow of war.

A few days ago, a reporter from Spanish TV 5 died tragically on the battlefield in Iraq.

But others say that this is the smoke before the derby.

The tenth Madrid derby in two years, and two of the most important derbies of all time, is about to take place in the city, and everyone in the city is worried about it.

On the eve of the decisive match, the Spanish national television television received a notice that the president of Real Madrid, Mr. Florentino Pérez, had decided to give them an exclusive interview at the Bernabeu Stadium.

This is an interview they have been requesting for a long time, so they take it very seriously.

The film crew arrived at the Bernabeu early, first going to the exhibition hall to focus on the honours that Real Madrid has won over the past 100 years, especially the St. Bride Cup last year.

It is the most talked about trophy by all Real Madrid fans, as well as Zinedine Zidane's flying immortals.

Because, fans are always forgetful, too long ago, they can't remember.

Finally, the film crew came to the president's office and faced Florentino directly.

Real Madrid have won all the way for more than two months, and even knocked out the Red Devils Manchester United 6-2 over two legs, and several of the team's superstars have performed quite well, and Ronaldo has scored a hat-trick......

All of this made Florentino happy, and he laughed throughout the interview.

From the big picture of Real Madrid's superstar strategy to the small details such as donating jerseys to aid Iraq, Florentino has unabashedly confessed his business philosophy and thinking about Real Madrid.

"Our Defence Secretary, Frédéric Trillo, came back from a trip to Iraq last month and told me that the youngsters there are very fond of football, that their favorite team is Real Madrid, and that the top three of their favourite players are Raul, Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane. ”

"He told me that in Iraq, my team's name is even better than our king. ”

Florentino laughed proudly at this.

"When Mr. Trillo came back to Madrid and told me about it, I thought we should do something for the people of Iraq to repay their love for us, so we decided to donate a batch of jerseys and footballs. ”

"In this way, we want to encourage the children of Iraq to have fun playing on the pitch and bring them good luck wearing their favorite shirts of Raul, Zinedine Zidane and Ronaldo. ”

"It's part of our humanitarian relief plan, but it's far from the whole story, and we've been, are and will continue to plan more of these relief plans. ”

"Very impressive, Mr. Perez. ”

Florentino's remarks also won the affirmation of the TV host opposite, "The city derby is coming soon, and I believe many fans want to know, what do you think of this game?"

'It's going to be a tough game, but every one of us has a lot of confidence. ”

"Yes. The moderator nodded again, "Real Madrid have won all of them so far since bringing in Woodgate during the winter break, and some people say that the team should have brought him in earlier." ”

At the end, the host himself laughed.

Florentino also smiled, "Woodgate is a very good centre-back, he played very well at Leeds United, he didn't lose to any one centre-back, we did a lot to bring him in, and I'm happy that everybody is very happy with him. ”

"You know, a lot of people say that there are two kinds of football in the world, one is the football that produces results and the other is the football that is gorgeous, but I believe that in the hearts of all Real Madrid fans, we must think that our football must be both, that we have to win not only but to win well. ”

The host kept nodding his head, and such thoughts have indeed spread in the minds of Real Madrid fans in the past year or two, and even become more and more popular.

"We are the best club of the 20th century, we want to play the best, to lead European football, this is our pursuit, although in the process we have encountered a lot of difficulties, we have even encountered a lot of challenges and blows, but we have never given up on the pursuit. ”

With that, Florentino's eyes were focused on the camera.

"I'm glad that we withstood the pressure, didn't doubt and give up because of the defeat, and the excellent results of the last two months or so give us reason to believe that the goal we are pursuing is getting closer. ”

"Everyone in the squad is confident about the upcoming derby in Madrid and I am confident that our superstars will put on a fantastic show at the Calderón Stadium. ”

"And I'm glad to tell all the Real Madrid fans that we are getting as close as possible to the Champions League!"

…………

The big game is imminent, and every move of the two sides has not only attracted the attention of the Spanish and European media, but even fans around the world are closely watching the movements of the two teams.

Florentino's interview in the morning was featured on Spanish National Television at noon, and caused a huge response in Spanish football.

Although Florentino did not give Atletico Madrid a single bad comment throughout the interview, everyone could feel between the lines of his desire to beat Atletico Madrid in this game.

Even in the immediate aftermath of this, the Spanish national television revealed a news that had already been reported in the newspapers, that is, Florentino had issued a nirvana order to the coaching staff.

If Real Madrid can't beat Atletico Madrid in this game, Bosque will leave at the end of the season, and the team will also terminate the contract extension of captain Hierro, and the two will leave Real Madrid at the end of the season, thus kicking off the restructuring of Real Madrid.

This also adds a bit of tragedy to this derby.

Real Madrid have taken the lead and everyone is expecting a response from Atletico Madrid.

However, Calderón Stadium is tight-lipped not only by the management, but also by the whole team in a very low-key manner regarding the club's centennial* celebration.

The only one to be interviewed was the club's general manager, Junior Hill, who said in an interview with Marca newspaper that there would not be much movement in the team's centenary* celebrations.

"We certainly can't compare to the nobles!"

Hill Jr.'s ironic remark suggests that Atletico Madrid's centenary* celebration will be in a civilian style.

As for the upcoming derby, Hill Jr. refused to respond.

But in the afternoon of the same day, a powerful insider story spread in the Spanish media circle.

The pre-match press conference has a lot of news!

This inside information comes from José Ramón de la Morena of Radio Serre, the most reliable whistleblower in Spain.

For a while, countless media flocked to the sports city in Mahada Enda, and the narrow press conference hall of Atletico Madrid could not accommodate it at all, so they had to temporarily change the venue of the press conference and adjust it to the downstairs of the training building.

The empty venue can't stop the enthusiasm of this group of crazy media people, and everyone is looking forward to how Gao Han will fight back against Real Madrid's challenge. (To be continued.) )
