Serie A has been a strong start this year, with AC Milan knocking out Ajax, Inter Milan knocking out Valencia, and Juventus knocking Barcelona out of the top four, with Serie A alone in three of the last four.

Real Madrid's strong two consecutive championships in the Champions League in recent years have made UEFA feel a lot of threat, in UEFA's view, the development of football needs to be balanced, what is needed is a hundred flowers to bloom, and every team needs to have the desire to win the championship, but now Real Madrid has been holding the Champions League champion, which is not in the fundamental interests of UEFA, so Real Madrid has encountered some small "troubles" in this year's Champions League, for example, they met with Manchester United early, For example, they need to go to Moscow, which is very close to the North Pole, during the coldest time of the year.

In the opening meeting at Old Trafford, Real Madrid relied on a stoppage-time free-kick from Liu Han to level the scores at 3-3, a result that was very unfavorable for Manchester United, who would have to win against Real Madrid if they wanted to come out and score four or more goals if they were to draw.

So from the very beginning of the game, Manchester United played very actively, and they still used the same tactics as they did against Real Madrid in the last game, focusing on Real Madrid's middle.

However, today Real Madrid coped with Manchester United's tactics very well, first with the double back configuration of Makelele and Cambiaso, and then the double forward configuration of Liu Han and Ronaldo, plus Zidane and Figo's left and right, Real Madrid put on a strong attacking lineup in the midfield.

After the start of the game, Manchester United attacked strongly, but it only blossomed, while Real Madrid patiently looked for opportunities through the advance and penetration of the midfield.

In the 23rd minute, Liu Han opened the scoring for Real Madrid, and he received Figo's cross from the right and forced Stam to head the ball into the door of Manchester United.

Before the end of the half, Liu Han and Ronaldo played a tacit duo, Ronaldo easily shook the Manchester United goalkeeper to expand the score to 2-0, such a score has basically announced Manchester United's out, Ferguson left the pitch and returned to the locker room without waiting for the end of the half.

After the resumption of the second half, United used David Beckham's free-kick to pull a point back, but it didn't help, and five minutes later, Liu Han set up Zinedine Zidane to score again, and he still found space in the box to knock the ball back to Zidane in the face of three people, Zidane calmly scored from distance, and Real Madrid completely sealed the victory of the game, while also bringing their unbeaten run to 51 games.

Real Madrid's run to the last four of the Champions League once again has given Real Madrid supporters the hope of a third consecutive Champions League title, while their huge advantage in the league has also put them on track to set a new La Liga points record.

In the history of La Liga, there has never been a team with more than 90 points, and Real Madrid is now very close to this score, after 30 rounds of league games, they are at the top of the standings with 23 wins and 7 draws, and 76 points are 15 points higher than the second-placed Real Sociedad team, which is a huge point difference, and Real Madrid can even lock up the league title five or even six rounds in advance.

On April 27, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 3-1 in the 31st round of La Liga, which not only put them 18 points above the second Real Sociedad in the standings, but also brought their unbeaten streak to 52 games.

Real Sociedad and Deportivo La Coruna, who are third in the league, both suffered defeats in this round.

Real Madrid welcome the 32nd round of La Liga on May 4, and if they can win this game, then they will lock up the league title six rounds ahead of schedule, which will be the first time in La Liga history.

Facing Mallorca, which is ranked 12th in the league standings, Real Madrid easily suppressed the opponent in the game, and Real Madrid basically sealed the victory in the first half, with a score of 3-0 so that Mallorca could not find the slightest courage to fight back.

In the second half, Real Madrid started to field some players who rarely played, which was to give them a taste of the title.

When the final whistle blew, there was jubilation at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, not only because the team had won the championship in advance, but also because of the third consecutive league title.

Three days later, Real Madrid hosted their Champions League semi-final rivals, Juventus.

Serie A can be said to have exploded suddenly this year, with Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan forming an encirclement of Real Madrid.

However, Real Madrid's strength is still recognized, and although they can only be considered second-rate teams at the back, their attacking power is strong enough to crush any team, even Juventus, who are known for their defense.

In the game, Liu Han was specially targeted, and Juventus almost stuck Liu Han's connection with other people, but this was to no avail, Liu Han could still calmly kill the enemy in the army.

Liu Han opened the scoring for Real Madrid just before half-time, and a solo heroism left Juventus' defence in tatters.

Ronaldo's goal in the second half sealed the win for Real Madrid.

With this fixture, and the previous league game and the Copa del Rey, Real Madrid's unbeaten run now stands at 56 games, with two games left to equal AC Milan's record.

On May 11, Real Madrid rotated their lineup, and with the league title already in hand, Real Madrid was forced to draw 1-1 by Huelva and went unbeaten in 57 games.

Four days later, Real Madrid arrived in Turin, Italy.

Juventus, desperate, tried to attack Real Madrid's goal from the start of the game, but Liu Han seized the opportunity to make a quick counter-attack, and Real Madrid took a one-goal lead just ten minutes into the game.

After that, Liu Han returned to the central defender position to participate in the defense, and Bosque withdrew Liu Han after consideration, and the team's backline really needs a new anchor.

In the end, thanks to the heroic performance of Liu Han and Casillas, Real Madrid maintained the score of 1-0 until the end, and they were able to reach the Champions League final for the third year in a row, while also equalling AC Milan's record of 58 games unbeaten.

Three days later, Real Madrid returned to Madrid for the 33rd round of the league against Malaga.

Although it is an ordinary league game, and Real Madrid has won the championship in advance, no one will underestimate the significance of this game, which will be a game destined to go down in history.

The game was in Real Madrid's hands from the start, and the players, who had been battling it all season, rejuvenated themselves in this game, with Raul, Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane all running aggressively.

Real Madrid almost sealed the win in the first half, with four goals coming from four different players.

When the final whistle blew, the whole of Madrid was in jubilation, and Liu Han finally breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that it was time for him to announce his departure. (To be continued.) )
