Although there will be no award ceremony at home, the Atletico fans still celebrated on a large scale and they were not in a hurry, because after six days, they will be able to see the league trophy passed in the hands of the Atletico players, and they are also convinced that in ten days, they will be able to see the team lift the trophy for the first time in Scotland!

"Guys, I'm so proud of your performance! Now, it's time to rest, there's one last game to play this season! After that race, we're going to be at the top of the mountain, our own top! ”

At the celebratory reception after the game, Dick raised his glass and spoke loudly to the players.

The next day, the Spanish media carried the news that Atletico Madrid defended their league title and won the 11th league trophy in the club's history.

"There is no doubt that Atletico deserve to win the league this season. In the case of distracting the Champions Cup, they completed the task of fighting on two fronts very well, and once lost the suspense of the belonging of the La Liga champion! Despite the distraction from the knockout stage of the Champions League, Atletico's advantage has shrunk dramatically, they still managed to win this game and put the league title in their hands! They are a deservedly strong team! One of the best teams in the world right now! From being on the verge of relegation to a top team, it only took them two years! Dick has done a fantastic job as Atletico manager! ”

"This team that has been established for more than 80 years is about to usher in the second Champions Cup final in the club's history, the last time they lost to Bayern Munich from Germany in the Champions Cup final, it was deserved, because the Bayern team led by Beckenbauer and others was too strong, they completed the great feat of three consecutive championships in the Champions Cup, and even Cruyff's Ajax was suppressed by them for a time! This time, Atletico will face a team from Germany, only from Bayern to Bayer...... Bayer Leverkusen have also been very good this season, and it was a surprise that they reached the final of the Champions League with Atletico Madrid! However, for Bayer Leverkusen, the downside is that they have fallen behind in the league before, and it is very likely that they will lose the league title in the final round, which seems to be a little worse than Atletico Madrid, who have high morale. ”

Not only praised Atletico Madrid's achievements in defending the title, but the Spanish media also basically expressed optimism about Atletico's performance in the Champions League final, because Atletico Madrid is indeed good now, and Leverkusen is also very good, but losing two games in a row and losing the first place in the league also proves that Leverkusen is not as solid as Atletico Madrid......

Actually, let's not be distracted by this statement...... In fact, whatever Bayer Leverkusen's results in the league will not affect their performance in the Champions League final. Because if they win the Bundesliga in the final round in six days' time, then their morale will be high, if they don't win the league title, then they have already lost the German Cup and the league title, they only have the Champions Cup to go, and they will definitely give their all in the final! So in either case, in the final we will either run into a team that is demoralised by a miracle or a team who is sad about losing the league title and wants to win the trophy...... Either way, this final is not going to be easy! So let's push our strengths to the limit! It's about getting yourself in the best shape before the Champions Cup starts! Because Bayer Leverkusen will definitely fight hard in the last round of the Bundesliga, regardless of victory or defeat, their physical fitness will suffer a certain loss, which may be very average, but it may play a better role at critical moments...... Do you understand? Relax your body, but keep your nerves tight until the finals are over! ”

Dick said this to the players on the training ground after giving them a day off, he didn't want the players to behave mediocre in the final because they underestimated their opponents, and he didn't want the players to think that the opponents in the final were vulnerable, and the Champions Cup was already in hand - he didn't want Leverkusen to miss the honor of Sanya because of his negligence......

Of course, he doesn't think that he has won the league championship, the Champions Cup is not a big deal, and the Champions Cup is not the Copa del Rey Spanish Super Cup or anything, no coach will think that there are too many such championships and lose interest!

May 11, the final round of La Liga.

Most of the suspense has already been revealed, and although all of Atletico's players have flown to the Basque Country for the final round of away games against Real Sociedad, Dick will not field his main team in such a match.

Atletico Madrid, who came on as all substitutes, ended up in a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad, with Atletico winning the league title, followed by Valencia and Deportivo La Coruna, who had caught up in the final rounds, in third place, with Real Madrid in fourth place – Barcelona once again lost their chance to play in the Champions Cup, and Dick's curse was still in effect......

Dick may not have been a bit of a pleasure to lift the league title away from home, but it is still a great pleasure to defend the league title anyway – and in Germany, Bayer Leverkusen won the final round, but their opponents Borussia Dortmund also beat them to win the Bundesliga by one point!

The two dark horses both reached the final in the Champions Cup, but Atletico Madrid still won the league title despite the shrinking lead in the league, but Bayer Leverkusen fell short!

Same dark horse, different fate!

When many people sighed, they began to be more interested in the Champions Cup final in five days - was it Leverkusen, who lost the league and cup games in a week, or Atletico Madrid, who had already won the league title, to create a miracle and break through in the Champions Cup again?

It is worth mentioning that whether Atletico Madrid or Bayer Leverkusen won the league championship, they are the new teams that have won the Champions Cup after Dortmund won the championship in 1997!

This is also the first team to win the Champions Cup after the expansion of the Champions Cup.

Such an accolade is enough to make all managers go crazy with it.

Whether it is Dick or Topmüller, there is a lack of some heavyweight champions in the previous coaching circle to be at the bottom, and the fifty-year-old Topmüller has not had many good results before, but after Daum was released due to a drug scandal, he was ordered to bring Leverkusen to such heights, if he can still win the Champions Cup, then no one will doubt his ability!

And Dick, not to mention, two La Liga titles are enough to prove his level, and he also has a League Cup champion at the bottom of the European arena, if he can win this Champions Cup again, then he will immediately be able to join the ranks of first-class coaches!

At the age of twenty-three, the world's top coach, this identity is also an achievement that is enough to make everyone envious!

On 12 May, the day after the league ended, Dick flew his team to Glasgow, Scotland, and did not return to Madrid to celebrate the league title – but everyone took it for granted, because they were facing the Champions League final!

For the second time in the club's more than 80-year history, Atletico Madrid is participating in the Champions League final! They had lost to Bayern Munich in the past, and this time, they don't want to lose this game anymore!

And now they also have a big advantage, the league championship wins, the team's morale is even higher, and they have beaten the city's rival Real Madrid in two fierce games, both the state and morale have reached the highest peak, but what about the opponent? This is not the first time they have lost the league title in the final round this season, two years ago they lost to Bayern Munich by losing to Unterhachen in the final round with a draw, and this year again – proving that Bayer Leverkusen are a team that can drop the chain......

And what makes Atletico Madrid fans even more proud is that although Leverkusen also played the Champions Cup in the first two years, but compared with Atletico Madrid's history, they are out-and-out dicks, this team has not won the league championship since participating in the Bundesliga, and it is an emerging force that has only risen in recent years, and although Atletico Madrid has been more difficult in previous seasons, but before the nineties, they were out-and-out giants in La Liga, second only to Real Madrid in eight league titles, and Barcelona only had two more than them, If it weren't for Cruyff's arrival and Barcelona rising in the 90s, Atletico Madrid could have said that only Real Madrid could have an overwhelming advantage over them in Spain!

In terms of the present, they are in better form than Bayer Leverkusen, and when it comes to the past, their past is even more glorious than Bayer Leverkusen, and they have more advantages in the game than in every way!

Strangely, however, after arriving in Scotland, Dick was a bit low-key in his interviews.

"Our advantage is great? Maybe we have some advantages before the game, but on the pitch, all the other so-called advantages can't really be called advantages. The reason is simple, on the pitch, against eleven players. It is true that Bayer Leverkusen have been unlucky lately, but that bad luck cannot be equated with their performance in the Champions League final. They, like us, only managed to reach the Champions League final after a very tough game, and it's hard to beat a team with the kind of performance they had before. Before this game, we have to give our all to prepare for this game, and we can't relax until the last minute! ”

Dick's words made many people feel strange - this guy has changed his temper? Shouldn't reaching the Champions Cup final be something that makes him get carried away with joy? It's weird...... Even if no one can be sure of playing the Champions Cup final, you have to keep a low profile before the game to leave yourself a way back, but is a guy like Dick really the kind of person who will leave a way back for himself? This is so unscientific......

Only Dick knew that some of his previous high-profile behaviors were more exaggerated moves to make his fame bigger, after all, if he made a gimmick, he would become famous a little faster - for example, his bet with the poor Mr. Rodriguez reporter who had been forgotten by him immediately made Dick famous - but he was about to get a stake in Atletico Madrid, so there was no need to use those high-profile practices to make his fame bigger, his position became stable, and when he became rich, it was time to make a product......
