Massacre!

The day after Chinatown's 10-0 win over Granada, Marca newspaper made a front-page headline with this shocking headline, especially with the bold scarlet font, which made everyone feel the shock on the page.

It was one of the craziest wins of the season!

No one would have imagined that under heavy pressure, Chinatown would bottom out and play such a crazy victory.

10-0, the biggest win in La Liga this season, and in recent years.

"In the last half-century, La Liga has never seen a team score more than 10 goals in a single game. ”

"The last time a team scored 10 goals in a single game in La Liga was on February 6, 1960, in the 21st round of La Liga, Real Madrid slaughtered Elche 11-2 at home, and Puskas and Pepilo both scored hat-tricks. ”

"The last time a team scored 10 goals in a single league game was on October 10, 1984, when Borussia Monchengladbach beat Braunschweig 10-0 in the Bundesliga, 30 years ago. ”

But just last night, that crazy attacking Chinatown team beat Granada 10-0 at their home stadium, not only won a crazy victory, declared their hunger for the league title, but also wrote the team into the history of La Liga and even European football. ”

"Ten goals apart, this is undoubtedly more dominant than half a century ago, Real Madrid slaughtered Elche 11-2, and this game, Chinatown also completely controlled the whole game, Granada except for the first half hour to create a little trouble for Chinatown, the rest of the time, all the time, can not stop Chinatown's attack. ”

Marca also highlighted two midfielders, Isco and Kevin De Bruyne.

The commentary said that after the familiar Isco returned to the field, he successfully activated Chinatown's midfield, especially the midfield combination of Isco and De Bruyne, which firmly helped Chinatown control the ball and constantly feed the attacking players in the frontcourt.

'Isco's absence has taken a toll on China City over the past month, with Paul Pogba and Koke both playing in his position, but it's clear that neither of them can replace Isco's role, especially the courage of the Spanish midfielder to get the ball on the ball against defenders. ”

During Isco's injury, De Bruyne's form also fluctuated, which seriously affected Chinatown's performance, especially in the away game against Barcelona, Zidane preferred the team to control the ball as at home, but Chinatown's midfielders still failed to suppress Barcelona. ”

In this game, Isco came back quickly before the game, and directly delivered a wonderful performance, providing assists and imaginative dribbling and passing for Chinatown, he was like a booster for Chinatown's attack, directly accelerating the team's attack. ”

Isco's comeback has also successfully activated De Bruyne, the Belgian midfielder's performance in this game is a dream, showing his ability to sit in the middle of the midfield, I believe that Gao Han in the stands will also be extremely gratified to see it, because it was he who hand-picked De Bruyne to retreat from the original attacking player to the middle of the midfield. ”

"As the season progresses, we gradually understand Zidane's game strategy, Isco and De Bruyne specialize in pass-and-control play, Pogba has a very good role at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and Koke is also a very well-rounded player, so this midfield combination gives Zidane enough resources to rotate and arrange according to different opponents. ”

At the end, Marca spoke highly of Chinatown's victory, believing that this 10-0 match rekindled the clarion call for the La Liga title and showed everyone the desire of Chinatown to win the league.

Not only Marca, but also Ace also carried the headline of Chinatown's 10-0 bloodbath for Granada, and gave Chinatown a very high rating, especially for the combination of Isco and De Bruyne.

The media in Catalonia were more on the luck of believing Isco's return had ignited the creativity of the Chinatown midfielders, thankful that Barcelona had not met Isco at the Camp Nou two weeks earlier, otherwise Luis Enrique's side would likely have repeated the embarrassment of the first leg between the two sides.

With 10 to 0, 32 to 8 shots, 62.6 per cent possession and 91.1 per cent pass completion rate, Chinatown's performance in this game can be described as dominant.

But after the World Sports newspaper spoke highly of Chinatown's big victory, it also praised Barcelona's tenacity, because in this round Barcelona challenged Celta Vigo away, Enrique met his old club again, and the result was very bad, even if Celta Vigo was sent off in the second half with a player's red card, but Barcelona still failed to score.

It wasn't until the 89th minute that Mathieu's stunning goal helped Barcelona win all three points away.

Such a victory can be said to be dangerous, and Barcelona's possession rate in this game is only 51%, almost losing to Vigo Celta, which shows that Barcelona's form is not ideal.

World Sports is optimistic that the madness of Chinatown will further stimulate Barcelona's form, especially the two superstars of Messi and Suarez, who will soon usher in an explosion of pressure.

"Many people will compare the current China Town with the Real Madrid side half a century ago, it is true that both teams have beaten each other with big scores and set La Liga records, but don't forget that the season when Real Madrid beat Elche 11-2, the championship belongs to Barcelona!"

World Sports News is right, the two sides played to the end that season, Real Madrid and Barcelona had the same points, in La Liga, which was only 16 teams at the time, got 46 points, and the results of the two teams were Real Madrid 2-0 at home, Barcelona 3-1 at home, and the results were equal.

In the end, Barcelona won the La Liga title with a goal difference of 58, two more than Real Madrid.

It can be said that Real Madrid that season was one of the saddest La Liga runners-up in history.

Interestingly, the offensive ability of the Galaxy Battleship that season was also the best in La Liga, but the defense was not stable enough, which is quite similar to this season's Chinatown's offensive firepower topping La Liga and overshadowing Barcelona.

As a result, the media in Catalonia have hyped that Chinatown will repeat the mistakes of Real Madrid half a century ago, and may even be inferior to Real Madrid.

"Don't forget, they're only fourth in La Liga, four points behind us!"

But just a week later, the Catalan media felt what it means to be happy and sad.

In the 30th round of La Liga in midweek, Chinatown beat Rayo Vallecano 2-0 away, Barcelona beat Almeria 4-0 at home, Atletico Madrid beat Real Sociedad 2-0 at home and Real Madrid drew 1-1 away to Deportivo La Coruna.

The Riazor Stadium has always been a nightmare for Real Madrid.

However, in the 31st round of the league at the weekend, Chinatown beat Ebar 3-0 and Barcelona were held to a 2-2 draw away by Sevilla, with Alpine protégé Emery playing the role of a giant killer.

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid have both drawn back-to-back.

After this round of league play, Barcelona continued to lead La Liga, but China City successfully counterattacked and climbed to the second place in the league again, only two points away from Barcelona, and the gap between the two sides is no longer out of reach.

After this round of battles, the Catalan media panicked.

Since April, Zinedine Zidane's team has achieved three consecutive wins, and their performances have been consistent, and they have the momentum to continue to challenge for the La Liga title, which has made Barcelona feel a lot of pressure.

On April 15, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals was rekindled.

Chinatown sat at home and beat Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 thanks to Koke's stunning goal in the 57th minute.

The game was very difficult, although Paris Saint-Germain sold Suarez and Neymar in a row, but the overall strength of the team should not be underestimated, and Chinatown's home win was a risky one.

But for the second leg of the match at the Parc des Princes a week later, everyone secretly pinched a cold sweat for Chinatown.

At the weekend, in the 32nd round of La Liga, Chinatown hosted Malaga.

In order to draw elite to cope with the midweek game against Paris Saint-Germain, Zidane actually played with a full bench this time, and his courage and courage surprised everyone, but at the crucial moment, a goal from compatriot Umtiti saved Zidane and broke the deadlock on the field, and then Pogba and Heser scored successively.

In the end, China City beat Malaga 3-1 at home to keep the pressure on Barcelona alive.

But in this round, Barcelona beat Valencia 2-0 at home and continued to lead by two points.

In midweek, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is played.

Chinatown challenged Paris Saint-Germain away, Zidane took a more pragmatic attitude, rarely put on the double back play of Kante and Ilia Ramendi, and stubbornly sniped Paris Saint-Germain away, and the two sides finally played to a 2-2 draw.

In the end, Chinatown eliminated Paris Saint-Germain with an aggregate score of 3-2 and advanced to the semi-finals.

This season's Champions League semi-finals are still dominated by La Liga, with China Town eliminating Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid eliminating Atletico Madrid, Barcelona eliminating Manchester City, Bayern Munich eliminating Manchester United, and three La Liga teams out of the four, the strength of La Liga can be seen.

According to the previous draw, China City will meet Real Madrid in the semi-finals, and Barcelona will meet Bayern Munich.

These two strong conversations are also particularly eye-catching, especially the defending champions Chinatown.

After winning the championship last season, many media and fans thought that Chinatown was just a fluke, but now, the team's semi-final is enough to prove its quality to everyone.

And according to media statistics, since Chinatown entered the Champions League, the worst result was the quarterfinals, and the rest of the seasons were all semi-finals, or even championships.

But Chinatown has long since taken these things out of mind, and everyone is more focused on the game.

After playing Paris Saint-Germain, China City extended their winning streak to seven wins in the following three league rounds, beating Celta Vigo 4-1 away, Almeria 3-0 at home and Sevilla 3-1 away.

But Barcelona's performance was just as good, beating Espanyol 2-0 away, Getafe 6-0 at home, Real Madrid 1-0 away and especially at the Bernabeu in the 35th round.

With only three rounds left in the league, is there really no one who can snipe at Barcelona?
