The match ended in a three-to-one game.

With goals from Raphael Varane, Paul Pogba and Antoine Griezmann, Chinatown beat Barcelona at Camp Nou to win the Copa del Rey this season, the first Copa del Rey title in Chinatown's history.

After reaching the finals for two consecutive seasons, Chinatown finally got its wish.

When the whistle blew at the end of the game, the players from Chinatown rushed onto the pitch in a frenzy and celebrated.

This feeling of winning the championship at the home of a strong opponent and under the nose of the opponent is really wonderful!

Not to mention the players, even the head coach Zinedine Zidane was excited, celebrating with his assistants.

While the podium was temporarily erected on the stadium, Zidane and the players also walked to the comprehensive interview area to be interviewed by media reporters, and the players in Chinatown expressed their joy at winning the championship, but most of them were relatively calm and restrained, and basically aimed at the Champions League final in a week.

Head coach Zinedine Zidane first expressed his joy at winning this game.

'This is undoubtedly a crucial game as we will face Barcelona again in the Champions League final in a week's time. ”

'I'm happy with the performance of our players, they are some of the best and best players in Europe and I'm sorry we didn't win the league but I think we played really well in the first half and the second half. ”

After a sigh, Zidane continued: "But football is like that, only when you try your best to fight for it can you know if it will be rewarded, as if tonight, we won the championship. ”

When asked by reporters if Zidane was confident of winning the trophy at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin a week later, the French coach smiled: "It's not easy, because in the last two decades no team has successfully defended the Champions League, but I have to say that winning the title is our goal and we have to fight for it." ”

"Sooner or later, the curse will be broken, just like our club, which has never won the Copa del Rey before, but we broke it tonight, and our club has never won La Liga, and I hope to break that curse next season. ”

'Nobody would have believed we could win the Champions League before we won the Champions League and now everyone doubts that we can break the spell and defend it, but I have confidence in it because we are hungry for it and we are all going to fight for it. ”

Regarding the Champions League final against Barcelona again, Zidane said that this is not necessarily a bad thing for Chinatown.

"There are no favourites in the Champions League final, the teams that have been in the final are the strongest teams in European football in the past year, and Barcelona are a great team, they have a group of great stars, they have achieved great things, but for all the teams that reach the final, the winners and losers are the winners. ”

As for the Copa del Rey victory, most people will naturally assume that Chinatown will be the favourites to win the title, and Zidane said that this is normal.

'The Copa del Rey final was scheduled before the Champions League final, and we beat Barcelona to win the Copa del Rey, which will inevitably lead to the media and the fans being more inclined towards us now, but we have to be calm and sensible and we have to do our best to defend our title. ”

As for what tactics will be adopted in the Champions League final in the week, Zidane said that he will continue to adhere to the characteristics of Chinatown.

'We're going to keep our style and nothing special will change and nothing special should change because we know each other very well because we know each other very well and we've played a lot of games in the last two years and there's no secrets at all. ”

"If I had to say anything, I wanted to be able to give a good showdown in the final for all the fans who came to the stadium. ”

Speaking about the players in the team, Zinedine Zidane was also very pleased to say that the improvement of the players in the team is very obvious, and highlighted Eden Hazard, who believes that the Belgian superstar has improved especially this season.

Antoine Griezmann, Raphael Varane, De Vrij, Roberto Firmino, Paul Pogba, Koke, Isco and Kevin De Bruyne have also been praised by Zidane, who believes that the team's outstanding performances over the past two seasons are inseparable from the efforts of all the players.

'I think one of the very good characteristics of our club is that we have a very unique club culture, we are very attacking, we are obsessed with winning, we go into every stadium, we play every game, everybody has one belief in their minds, and that's to win. ”

"A lot of people think we're a very young, underdeveloped team, but I don't think it's because we've been winning games for the last decade or so, we've been winning all the way from the lower divisions to La Liga, we've been relegated quickly, we've been in the Champions League and then we've won the ......."

"We are a very special team, the dedication to winning is deeply engraved in the soul of every player, it is in our blood, and it makes us give our best every game and never feel satisfied. ”

For this special culture of the club, Zidane believes that it is due to the high ground that created the club.

"He is a very special person and a mentor to me, not only during those two years at PSG, but even now, I am still learning from him, and he is also a person who will never be satisfied, I think he passed on this belief to Chinatown, and then it affects everyone. ”

In the end, Zinedine Zidane confidently said, "This will be the biggest motivation for us to win in the Champions League final in a week's time, and it is also the highest requirement for everyone in the club to treat themselves." ”

Chinatown defeated Barcelona 3-1 to win the Spanish Copa del Rey in the new season!

The news quickly spread around the world.

By the end of May, all major European leagues had come to a halt, and the only ones still in action were the Copa del Rey final and the Champions League final, which were between Barcelona and Chinatown, the defending champions.

A combination of factors has made both matches particularly attractive to fans around the world.

And everyone thinks that the Copa del Rey final will be a precursor to the Champions League final, and whoever wins the championship will have the upper hand.

What I didn't expect was that the first to win the championship would be Chinatown.

The first Copa del Rey title in the club's history, and it was at the Camp Nou, undoubtedly greatly stimulated Chinatown's confidence and made everyone start to look at this La Liga newcomer.

Head coach Zinedine Zidane's post-match remarks were also neither humble nor arrogant, calm and calm, not only not carried away by the joy of winning the Copa del Rey, but also expressed his confidence in the final in a week.

After winning the Copa del Rey, Chinatown did not celebrate, but returned to Madrid from Barcelona overnight in a low-key manner, without even holding a championship parade, and directly sent the championship trophy to the honor room of the Royal Stadium.

It is clear that the team needs to concentrate on preparing for the Champions League final.

But the media and fans around the world are talking about whether Barcelona will be able to fight back, and whether Chinatown will break the spell and defend the title?

The crazy analysis and reporting of the media are also extremely concerned by the fans.

Many media believe that Chinatown has the strength to successfully defend the title, because judging from the 3-1 victory over Barcelona, Chinatown does have the advantage, and the overall strength is also above Barcelona.

But there are also some media who believe that it will be difficult for Chinatown to successfully defend its title.

"No team has successfully defended the Champions League in the last 20 years or so, which is a huge mental pressure for any team aspiring to defend the title, and Chinatown's players are relatively young and prone to losing their breath when it matters most, which has been exposed in the league. ”

Nearly sixty percent of fans believe that it is difficult for China Town to successfully defend its title, and some people even conspire to say that UEFA will not allow China Town to defend its title.

"The great thing about the Champions League is that there are different champions every year, and the overall level of the competition is so high that no team can completely dominate the game, so UEFA will never want to see a successful situation in which China Town defends its title, which will bring huge damage to the commercial value of the Champions League. ”

But such statements were quickly refuted by the media and fans, and were dismissed as nonsense.

Judging from the odds given by the bookmaker, the victory or defeat of the two teams is basically between the two teams, but Chinatown has a slight advantage.

Italian legend Sacchi said in an interview with the media that he is more optimistic about Chinatown.

"If a year ago, Chinatown's championship was a big upset, then this year's Chinatown has obviously reached a new height in terms of player level and team technical and tactical maturity, and they are the best and strongest team in European football this season. ”

"Through the Copa del Rey final, Barcelona saw clearly their own weaknesses and shortcomings, they had possession of the ball, but lacked effective attacking threats, and the disconnect between the midfield and the front court was too obvious, so that Messi had to retreat frequently, but the presence of Kante made Messi's retreat no longer sharp. ”

'Apart from the opening goal, Barcelona failed to create a threat throughout the game. ”

On the other hand, Zidane has more hole cards in his hands and a wider squad, and I believe that as long as the lineup and performance of the Copa del Rey final are basically continued, it is not impossible to beat Barcelona in the Champions League final. ”

But Sacchi also said that the victory or defeat of the Champions League final often depends not only on the strength and technical and tactical level of the two sides, but also on the desire of the two teams to win.

After Chinatown wins the championship, the team is bound to slack off, and the two teams may even turn around mentally, which is also what Chinatown must pay attention to.

Matayana, deputy editor-in-chief of Marca, also reminded Chinatown in a column that if they want to successfully defend the Champions League, they must first overcome themselves.

"In the Copa del Rey final, China Town have shown themselves to everyone and it is entirely possible for them to overpower Barcelona, who are the strongest team in La Liga, if not one of them. ”

But in the next game, they may not only be against Barcelona, but also against the so-called curse of defending the Champions League, as well as the joy and relaxation of winning the Copa del Rey. ”

But Matayana also said he firmly believes that Chinatown's coaching staff and players can adjust well.

From the Copa del Rey final to the Champions League final, one week is enough.
