With Yang Yang's goal just three minutes into the game, Real Madrid's start to the game at the Stadio Calderón went extremely well.

After taking the lead, the Galaxy Battleship was even more morale-boosting and continued to press Atletico Madrid frantically.

The midfield trio of David Silva, Luka Modric and Toni Kroos was indeed quite good at controlling the ball and organising the attack, planning wave after wave of attacks for the front-court players, almost pressing Atletico Madrid into the half.

In the first 30 minutes, Real Madrid's possession rate was close to 75%, completely controlling the scene, and the Sheets were forced to retreat into the penalty area, and it was not until the 37th minute that Griezmann played the first threatening shot of the game, but it was also a long-range shot from the outside of the penalty area, which failed to play a force.

The data does not fully reflect the gap between the two teams on the field, Real Madrid completely controlled the game and the rhythm, Atletico Madrid just blindly responded passively, and one of the important reasons is that Atletico Madrid, which adopts a 442 formation, although there are four midfielders, is completely inferior to Real Madrid's three midfielders.

The overall advantage, controlling the ball, Real Madrid's two wings pressed very hard, which further boosted the team's attacking firepower in the front, and played continuous shots at every turn, making Atletico Madrid a storm in front of the goal.

The defense of the Sheets was extremely tenacious, the whole team almost retreated into the penalty area, just withstood all the pressure, stubbornly resisted the attack from Real Madrid, coupled with the magical performance of goalkeeper Oblak, did not give Real Madrid a chance to score.

Not only did the midfield play well, but at the back, the center-back combination of Varane and Ramos also played quite well, especially Varane, who played the most brilliant game of the season and completely suppressed the Atletico attackers.

It also confirms that a good defender doesn't have to fight hard, but how to deal with emergencies with grace and poise, and Raphael Varane's performance tonight was a good example of that.

……

At 1-0 in the first half, Real Madrid temporarily took the lead, but after the rematch in the second half, Atletico further strengthened their defense, especially against Yang Yang and Suarez.

But sixty-five minutes into the clock, the Sheets Corps began to recover.

Simeone replaced Koke with Torres and Raul Garcia for Griezmann in an attempt to strengthen the pressing and attacking midfield, while Carlo Ancelotti also made a quick substitution, and Mascherano replaced Toni Kroos to strengthen the defence.

The two managers were full of targeted tactical adjustments, which made the last 30 minutes of the second half more stalemate and more explosive.

The game was very tight, but the final score was 0-1.

From the third minute of the first half, after Yang Yang scored a goal, the two sides never scored again.

After the game, the man of the match was Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper Oblak.

This goalkeeper can be described as brilliant, high block and low reception, which simply let Real Madrid's attacks return again and again, if it were not for him in charge, Real Madrid would have been able to score at least four goals in the first half.

From David De Gea to Thibaut Courtois and now Oblak, Atletico have not only been able to develop strikers, but also goalkeepers.

Real Madrid's best player was centre-back Raphael Varane, who played very bravely and scored second only to Oblak in both teams, even higher than Yang Yang, who scored a goal but was blocked by Atletico Madrid, and despite his hard work, he only scored seven points in the end.

In the whole game, Real Madrid's possession rate was as high as 65.5%, which completely exceeded everyone's expectations.

Twenty-one shots, eleven on target, and just one goal, which is why Oblak got the best of the game.

……

Unlike Real Madrid, who met a goalkeeper like Oblak, Barça's luck was much better.

In the away game against Paris Saint-Germain, Barcelona also had 65.8 per cent possession, but only created 11 shots in the game, six on target, and scored three goals.

In the other two games, Juventus beat Monaco 1-0 at home, and the second leg at the Louis II Stadium was still full of suspense.

Bayern Munich lost 3-1 away to Porto, causing the biggest upset since the knockout rounds of this Champions League, and at the same time, people are full of worries about the Bundesliga team, wondering if Pep Guardiola can lead the team to a home comeback.

The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will take place in a week's time.

……

After playing the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Real Madrid will face the 32nd round of La Liga at the weekend.

But just the day before the game, the Spanish media suddenly broke the news that Yang Yang left the team on leave for personal reasons.

Subsequently, Real Madrid officials also officially announced the news, confirming the news of Yang Yang's leave of absence, but did not explain the specific reason.

Paper can't contain the fire, and there is a lot of talk in the outside world, and all kinds of rumors have begun to appear.

Some media said that Yang Yang's departure from the team was due to a relationship crisis with his wife Su Ye, and it was also said that Yang Yang was dissatisfied with Ancelotti's abandonment of Mascherano in the Champions League knockout round, and there was even a theory that Yang Yang was considering leaving the team......

At the subsequent pre-match press conference, Ancelotti announced the squad for the next day's game against Malaga, and everyone found out that Yang Yang was not on the squad, which couldn't help but spark speculation again.

Ancelotti clarified for the first time that Yang Yang had something to do and returned to China!

Soon, the Chinese media also broke out photos of Yang Yang's return to China at the Capital International Airport, accompanied by his wife Su Ye, the two walked out of the airport arm in arm, talking and laughing all the way The scene was very sweet, not at all like the crisis rumored by the outside world.

But what is the reason why Yang Yang, who has always been self-disciplined, took the initiative to ask the club for leave, missed the weekend league, and returned to China?

The Chinese media soon broke the news that Yang Yang had returned to China to participate in the Laureus World Sports Awards in Shanghai on the 18th.

When the news reached Europe, it immediately sparked controversy again.

The Laureus World Sports Awards do have a significant role in world sports, but as everyone knows, it has never been associated with football, so not only are the players rarely present, but even the shortlisted football clubs are usually only represented, and sometimes not even attended.

The reason is simple, European football has long believed that the Laureus World Sports Awards are far less important than the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

But why did Yang Yang give up the weekend league and run back to China to participate in an award that he didn't have a chance to?

Is it just because it's being held in China this year?

Some media soon broke the news that in order to be able to invite Yang Yang to attend, Lawrence officially added an award to Yang Yang, which persuaded Yang Yang to return to China, as for what the award is, it is unknown.

But even if he knew that he was going to win the award, the media still generally questioned Yang Yang's return to China.

To put it bluntly, how much gold does the new award have, everyone knows that it is necessary to go back for such an award?

In the midst of doubts outside, Real Madrid officials quickly gave a clarification, saying that Yang Yang's return to China was agreed by Real Madrid.

"We are very supportive of him coming back to this great event, and we have even sent Real Madrid representatives led by Butragueno to Shanghai, China, and we will keep an eye on the latest news from the Laureus Awards Ceremony."

Real Madrid's official sudden statement undoubtedly further confirmed the speculation of the outside world.

That is, Yang Yang will win the award!

The best male athlete is not to think about it, this has never had anything to do with football, so the only possible thing is a new award, what will it be? How much gold is there?

…………

…………

Unlike the media in Europe and other parts of the world who have questioned Yang Yang's return to China, the domestic media and fans have given him a very high courtesy, especially when Yang Yang traveled from Beijing to Shanghai.

First of all, more than 1,000 fans spontaneously went to Shanghai Airport to pick up the airport, and the scene was extremely hot, and the scene even almost caused chaos for a time.

Then Yang Yang went to the hotel under the reception of the organizer, the fans followed all the way, and the media reporters chased after him in groups, and the battle was simply beyond the reach of all the superstars in China.

That night, when Yang Yang, who was wearing an Armani suit, and Su Ye, who was wearing a plain dress, appeared on the red carpet outside the Grand Theater like a fairy couple, the scene was extremely enthusiastic, and countless fans were frantically shouting Yang Yang's name.

Yang Yang rarely appeared like this in front of the fans of the motherland, he also behaved very gracefully, and at the same time tried his best to meet the wishes of the fans on the spot, but in the end, he couldn't stand the gathering of more and more fans, and finally could only leave the red carpet as soon as possible under the arrangement of the organizer.

This is the first time Laureus has come to China to hold the event, and in addition to the major superstars from the world sports world, there are also many sports stars from China, such as Yao Giant, Liu Fei and Li Na.

Yang Yang has little contact with them on weekdays, but this time he met him as a junior, and he was very polite to these predecessors who had created incomparable brilliance for China's sports industry, and he did not dare to offend them at all.

As the hottest superstar in the current domestic and even world sports world, Yang Yang's arrival has naturally become the focus of attention.

For example, the host of the awards conference, British movie star Benedict Cumberbatch immediately ran to Yang Yang to ask for an autograph and a group photo, the British movie star who became famous because of his role as Sherlock Holmes said that as early as when Yang Yang played for Liverpool, he liked him very, very much.

"It's because of you that I agreed to host this party." Juan Fu said seriously.

Yang Yang couldn't help laughing, the more serious this guy was, the more joyful he felt.

And other world sports superstars, whether they know it or not, must have at least heard of Yang Yang's name.

In fact, when Yang Yang walked into the Grand Theater, everyone vaguely guessed something, but everyone was very curious, what kind of award can make Yang Yang make a special trip back to China to participate in the competition?
