923 You'd better not make mistakes!
When Real Madrid's players tossed Benitez high on the sidelines of the Mestania pitch, the world was reporting on the landmark victory.
Since last summer, when Florentino made a high-profile return to the Bernabeu and invested heavily in the construction of a new Galaxy battleship, the world has been waiting for Real Madrid and Barcelona to compete for dominance of Spanish football, and since then, the annual derby of the century has attracted the attention of fans and media around the world.
But the result is unbelievable, Real Madrid has completely suppressed Barcelona in terms of honor and record in the past two years.
Last season's Barcelona was empty-handed, while Real Madrid won the double of La Liga and the Champions League in a row, and its influence even exceeded that of Barcelona in the summer of 09, because Real Madrid's double is the league plus the Champions League, and Barcelona is only the league plus the Copa del Rey.
In this season, Real Madrid has a crisis, Yang Yang has been injured for more than two months, the team has fallen behind early, everyone has concluded that this season's Barcelona will usher in a revival, comprehensively suppressing Real Madrid, and even some Catalan media shouted early to win the treble and trample the sworn enemy under their feet again.
But now, the league lost the second derby of the century, the situation is precarious, and the Copa del Rey final was tragically defeated by Yang Yang, and the beautiful treble has completely become a fantasy.
Even the commentator on Spanish national television, who was in charge of broadcasting the Copa del Rey final, summed up after the game that if Guardiola did not deal with the impact of the two derby defeats of the century as soon as possible, Barcelona would likely drop points at the weekend or in the next six league games, giving Real Madrid a chance to turn around.
The Spanish newspaper El Pais said that this is a legendary game, representing that Real Madrid is gradually replacing Barcelona and becoming the number one strong team in La Liga, and Yang Yang's three goals in the two derbies of the century not only brought Real Madrid's hope of the league and the Copa del Rey championship, but also completely shattered Barcelona's dream of the treble.
Another Spanish comprehensive newspaper, El Mundo, also commented at the first time that Yang Yang defeated Barcelona alone.
According to Marca, Real Madrid are returning to the throne of Spanish football, winning a trophy they have not won in 18 years.
However, the media in Catalonia also encouraged the team, with the daily newspaper Sport shouting the slogan of revenge, "Go to the Champions League and pull out this thorn in the heart." ”
Daily Sport said that after losing two consecutive derbies of the century, Guardiola should indeed reflect on the problems facing the team, especially in these two games, Barcelona basically had more than 70% possession, but they have never been able to beat Real Madrid when they have such a huge advantage, which is a problem.
"There is a saying in Spain that fate will always give you a second chance."
"In the summer of '09, the team lost the Champions League and missed the treble, after two years, this season everyone thinks that Barcelona will usher in the most relaxed competitive environment ever, and the competition for the treble is very promising, but now it has passed by again, lost the Copa del Rey, and even the league is in jeopardy."
'After losing at the Mestania, Pep Guardiola's side will have to prove themselves in the Champions League as soon as possible.
"It's hard to accept, but the Copa del Rey has become an irrevocable piece of history and Barcelona have to turn the page as soon as possible, reorient themselves and do their best to play every league game, play the Champions League well, and if they can win the league and the Champions League double, it will be a huge success."
Another major Catalan newspaper, Le Monde Sport, also published an opinion piece, saying that after bidding farewell to the Copa del Rey title, Barcelona should now do their best to keep the league and attack the Champions League.
"This is the time when Barcelona have the best chance of winning the Champions League in recent years!"

Real Madrid returned to Madrid from Valencia overnight, as the world's major media outlets rushed to the game, fans rushed to discuss the game on the Internet, and major newspapers were nervously preparing for the news report early tomorrow morning.
At this time, tens of thousands of excited Real Madrid fans are celebrating in Madrid's Hibeles Square, singing and dancing as they wait for the arrival of the Real Madrid players.
This is the mecca of Real Madrid's championship celebrations.
In the early hours of the morning, Real Madrid finally arrived belatedly and arrived at the Harvest Goddess Square, which was blocked by fans.
According to the usual practice, captain Casillas and vice-captain Ramos walked to the statue of the goddess of harvest with the 15-kilogram trophy in their hands and celebrated with all the Real Madrid fans at the scene.
The atmosphere of the scene was pushed to the highest point.
But soon, everyone in Real Madrid suddenly disappeared from the fans' field of vision, leaving tens of thousands of fans at the scene to continue to jump and cheer, venting their inner excitement and joy.
The morning after the victory, the club suspended training.
In the afternoon, however, the squad went to training as Real Madrid travel to the Mestania Stadium again for the weekend to take on Valencia.
After training, the first-team players travelled to the Bernabeu again for a brief Copa del Rey celebration at the club.
The club's president, Florentino, attended the ceremony and delivered a speech.
Florentino said he was proud of the efforts of the Real Madrid players and that he knew that the team had a lot of difficulties this season, but he believed that Real Madrid could overcome all the difficulties as a whole.
'We consulted the coaching staff and the dressing room before the final and we were very unanimous that we didn't need to celebrate when we won the Copa del Rey and it was far from time to celebrate because we still had the league and the Champions League.
'It represents the determination of our club, the coaching staff and the players, and I'm so proud of them!'
The club's head coach Rafael Benitez also took the stage to thank all the players, assistants and fans, saying that he is the most loyal Real Madrid fan and that he hopes to lead Real Madrid to a league reversal against Barcelona and a Champions League victory.
The club's captain Iker Casillas then made a speech, calling on the dressing room to continue the morale and fighting spirit shown in the two derbies of the century, and to continue to work hard to achieve success in the league and the Champions League.
Yang Yang does not hold a position within the team, according to Real Madrid tradition, he is not a candidate for captaincy, but the management still arranged for him to go up to speak, and neither the dressing room nor the media and fans present felt out of harmony.
With Yang Yang's status and influence in the Real Madrid team today, even if he wants to be the captain, Casillas has to give it up, let alone just speak on stage as a player representative.
Yang Yang first thanked the management, coaching staff and dressing room, saying that he was proud to join Real Madrid, and he also believed that the team still has a chance to compete for the league and the Champions League.
'In the dressing room after the Mestania game, I watched my team-mates very closely, I read a lot from their faces, I saw in them their inner pursuit and desire, and none of us chose to give up.
"There are six rounds left in the league and here, I want to say a word to our opponent Barcelona, we will keep an eye on you, you better not make mistakes!"
'I can guarantee here on behalf of my team-mates that in the next six games, each and every one of us will give our best, we will win every game, we will take every point and if Barcelona make a mistake, we will be at the top of La Liga.
'At the same time, I want to tell everyone who doubts that we have defended our Champions League final that, yes, no team has defended the Champions League in the last 21 years, but that doesn't mean we can't, my team-mates and I are ready and we're going to London.'
"Maybe, it's Barça that awaits us at Wembley, maybe not, but whoever it is, we're going to take the St. Bred's Cup away from Wembley!"
Yang Yang's words were sonorous and powerful, and everyone at the scene felt a sense of strength.
All the Real Madrid players were also encouraged by Yang Yang's words and nodded their heads.
Winning the Copa del Rey and losing Barcelona twice in the Century Derby have brought unprecedented confidence to Real Madrid.
Even Barcelona can take it off, who else can stop Real Madrid?
Who else can make Real Madrid fearful?

April 23, Mestania Stadium, Valencia.
In the 33rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Valencia away.
When the voices of Yang Yang and Real Madrid's top leaders were still spreading around the world, the Galaxy Battleship had already arrived away.
Three days ago, Real Madrid beat Barcelona here to take the Copa del Rey, Valencia lined up to meet Real Madrid before the game, but at the beginning of the game, the Bat Army were the first to attack.
The intention of the home team is very obvious, that is, to take advantage of Real Madrid's continuous hard matches against Barcelona and when they are physically and mentally exhausted, they will take the lead.
This strategy is the same as Real Madrid's Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.
But Valencia overlooked the fact that they are not Real Madrid and Real Madrid is not Barcelona.
Rafael Benitez's side held on to the opening kick-off and took the lead in the 23rd minute.
Mascherano made a steal in the middle of the field and passed, Higuain, who started in place of Ibrahimovic, pulled to the right and crossed, and Yang Yang easily pushed the goal in front of the left rib to open the scoring for Real Madrid.
In the 31st minute, Real Madrid further expanded the score and quickly passed to the front, Yang Yang and Mathieu competed for the ball, and the goalkeeper Guaita was not decisive enough to give Yang Yang a chance, Yang Yang calmly stabbed the goal, 2-0.
Just eight minutes later, Yang Yang crossed from the left side of the penalty area, and the unguarded Kaka pushed the goal, 3-0.
Then Kaka burst into the right side of the penalty area and crossed, Yang Yang easily pushed the goal, 4-0.
Hat-trick!
In the second half, after the rematch, Yang Yang shook off Miguel, rushed into the penalty area with the ball on the left rib, crossed to the front of the goal from the bottom line, and Higuain stabbed the goal from a small angle, 5-0.
In the 60th minute, Yang Yang was replaced by David Silva, but contributed a hat-trick and two assists, and his form was very good.
Gonzalo Higuain and substitute Angel Di Maria then scored as Real Madrid beat Valencia 6-1 away to win a crucial victory.
In another matchup played by Real Madrid one day later, Barcelona finally withstood the pressure, and with the goals of Villa and Messi, they defeated Osasuna 2-0 at home, and finally did not fall out in advance. 2k reading web
