On the same day as Real Madrid's away win over Barcelona, Bayer Leverkusen also held Manchester United to a 2-2 draw in Manchester, a result that no one expected. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Real Madrid's victory over Barcelona is still reasonable, after all, Real Madrid has won the league in advance, while Barcelona has fallen into a deep sinking, and there is a gap in the strength of the two sides. However, in the eyes of most fans, the gap between Manchester United and Bayer Leverkusen is huge, maybe Bayer Leverkusen can score away goals, but the victory will definitely be Manchester United, this is the opinion of most people.

Bayer Leverkusen gave England a good glimpse of the German's discipline and tenacity on the road, falling behind twice in the game but eventually equalising twice, an outcome that United could never have imagined, as Bayer Leverkusen, who scored two goals away from home, dominated the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Real Madrid's players were easy back in Madrid, taking away victory from Camp Nou while also putting their rivals on the brink of elimination, with two away goals not so easy to come back from.

The Real Madrid players who returned to Madrid can finally relax a little, although there are still games to play, but the league has won the championship ahead of schedule, which makes their burden much lighter, and they just need to prepare well for the other two matches against Barcelona after that.

On April 28, 2002, the penultimate round of La Liga began, and Real Madrid traveled to San Sebastian Anoeta to face Real Sociedad.

In this game, Real Madrid's main players all stayed in Madrid to rest, and Real Madrid's squad was purely substitutes and young players.

In the game, the Real Madrid players played very relaxed, relaxed until the first half and scored two goals, but it didn't make much sense.

In the end, Real Madrid were beaten 3-0 by Real Sociedad.

Entering the closing stage, there is not much suspense left in La Liga, only Barcelona and Celta Vigo will fight for fourth place in the standings, that is, next season's Champions League qualification and the final relegation team will be determined.

However, this is good news for Real Madrid, who now have to play Real Madrid twice in the Champions League and Copa del Rey to keep their top four and face them much more than Real Madrid.

Here, Real Madrid can easily prepare for the game, but Barcelona is once again in turmoil, Rexage's personnel and tactical arrangements have been questioned by the media and fans, and the club president has also been boycotted by the team management because of his wanton behavior, Cruyff has been hidden behind the scenes after the "Dutch Gang" lost power, and re-promoted the change of the Barcelona club.

Amid the tranquility of Real Madrid and the turmoil of Barcelona, the two sides ushered in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final in midweek.

The Barcelona team that came to Madrid was not too harassed, and the Real Madrid fans, who had already won the league title, greeted the arrival of the enemy with a haughty mentality at this time.

On 1 May 2002, the whistle blew at the Bernabeu.

Lexach's face is not as calm as before, he is now sitting on pins and needles in the position of Barcelona head coach, and the club's main line wants him to act as the backstopper, but Rexage is reluctant to leave Barcelona, he either resigns and leaves Barcelona on his own initiative, or he waits to be replaced by others, this decision is indeed difficult for Lexach.

After the start of the game, Barcelona changed the form of attacking at the beginning of the last game, they were steady after the kick-off, but the passing was more done in the middle and back, they lacked a reliable commander in the midfield, Cocu as a Dutchman is now out of position in the team, and he is not the kind of midfielder who can push the team to attack.

Barcelona played more conservatively, but Real Madrid was unexpectedly very brave, Real Madrid's players from the beginning of the game looked forward to ending the suspense of the game as soon as possible, as long as a goal can almost declare Barcelona's death, because now as long as Real Madrid scores another goal, then Barcelona must score three goals to ensure promotion, which is an almost impossible task for Barcelona now.

In the seventeenth minute of the game, Real Madrid got a good opportunity, Makelele broke the ball in the backfield and made a long pass directly to Liu Han, Liu Han squeezed away Kocu's right foot to stop the ball, the ball fell to the ground very obediently, and then Liu Han took advantage of the situation and used the soles of his feet to touch the football, the ball drilled under Puyol's crotch, and Liu Han got the opportunity to face Bonano.

At this time, behind Liu Han, Coku was desperately pulling Liu Han's jersey, and Liu Han was completely pulled by Coku and began to fall to the ground because of his previous actions.

At this time, Liu Han stretched out his long legs and stabbed the football, and then the football was very lucky to drill under the crotch of Bonano again, and gently rolled into the goal, Real Madrid almost locked the place in the final.

Although it was only a goal, it was this goal that made the Barcelona players fall into despair, for the players, even if the team is turbulent, they are still very eager for glory, but at this time, glory is far away from them.

In the next game, Barcelona's players frantically impacted Real Madrid's defense, they seemed to want to use a wave of rapid attacks to save their morale and save the team's hope of qualifying, but this is due to this "fast" desire to make Barcelona's players fall into an inexplicable impatience, whether it is a defender or a striker, Barcelona's players began to rush to pass the ball forward, and Barcelona's mistakes began to increase in this situation.

Real Madrid with Zidane in the face of Barcelona seems to be very calm, Zidane's speed and power may not be the best in football, but his ball control and dribbling are top-notch, and his role is maximized in this chaotic battle.

In the first half, the two teams did not achieve anything, and Real Madrid entered the second half with a 1-0 lead.

Barcelona did not give up hope completely after the start of the second half, they still ran hard, although the running at this time seemed a little clueless.

Rexage has long been sitting on the bench and not moving, he has now made up his mind not to resign, just waiting for the team to arrange someone to replace him, and the unsettling Rexage doesn't care so much about what others say, and even the command has been reduced a lot.

In the face of such a Barcelona, Real Madrid will not miss the opportunity.

In the 60th minute of the second half, Liu Han retreated to receive the ball outside the penalty area, and then he sent a wonderful pass to Raul according to Cocu, although Raul's shot was blocked by Bonano, but the football that bounced back into the penalty area was grabbed by Zidane for the first time, and Zidane, who is 1.85 meters tall, made Barcelona completely lose hope with a favorable header.

The rest of the game turned into a "crowd" concert for Real Madrid fans, who let off their joy as the team reached the Champions League final for the third year in a row, a rarity in the history of the Champions League, and more importantly they completed a "doublekill" against their arch-rivals.
