915 is catching up again!
In the quarterfinals of the Champions League in midweek, the whole European football world was shocked by the wild wins of the two giants of La Liga.
Real Madrid sat at home and beat Tottenham Hotspur 6-0.
Barcelona sat at home and beat Shakhtar Donetsk 5-1.
Both victories were almost enough to ensure that the Spanish Super League duo made it to the last four of the Champions League.
But what shocked everyone was the strong competitive strength shown by the two heroes of the Western Super League behind the wild victory.
Tottenham Hotspur and Shakhtar Donetsk are not underdogs, both of which eliminated Roma and AC Milan in Serie A in the round of 16, respectively, and are very competitive teams, but they have been beaten in front of the Spanish Super League giants.
In the Premier League, Tottenham Hotspur is currently in fifth place, but judging from the strong dialogue this season, whether it is Manchester United, Chelsea, or Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester City, they have not been able to take much advantage of Tottenham, which shows that the overall strength of this north London team can stand the test.
However, at the Bernabeu, Tottenham Hotspur was defeated and eventually beaten 0-6, and after the game, manager Redknapp had to admit that this game made him and his team clearly see the huge gap between themselves and the top European teams.
The same goes for Barcelona's home game against Shakhtar Donetsk.
The quarterfinals of the Champions League, which gathered the eight best teams in Europe this season, but Real Madrid and Barcelona showed such a strong momentum, which made many people begin to perceive that this season's Champions League is likely to turn into a Spanish civil war.
Especially for Real Madrid, this is the reigning champion of the Champions League!
In the past two decades, the Champions League has welcomed a number of defending champions with superior strength and high expectations, but in the end, without exception, all of them failed to defend the title, so will Real Madrid be the lucky ones?
……
In addition to the strength of the Western Super League, Yang Yang's hat trick in this game has also attracted widespread attention from the outside world.
Since his comeback at the end of November, Yang Yang's state has been on an upward trend, especially after the winter break, Yang Yang began to usher in an explosive period, and his state was out of control, and he had already completed a reversal against Messi in the scorer list of La Liga.
This is quite an incredible thing to all people.
Falling behind by nearly 20 goals, he actually achieved a reversal in one breath after his comeback, which is not only after Messi's state burst in the early part of the season, but also after Yang Yang's comeback, he showed an amazing state, and at the same time drove the overall performance of Real Madrid to rebound, and then got more scoring opportunities.
In contrast, the Champions League venue is in a worse situation than La Liga.
Yang Yang did not play in the group stage, played six games less than others, before six goals behind Messi, after his comeback, he played in the round of 16 knockout round, scoring two goals in two games, but Messi also scored two goals.
However, in the quarterfinals, Real Madrid played Tottenham Hotspur, Yang Yang scored a hat trick, and successfully increased his Champions League goals this season to five goals, although it is still behind Messi, Gomez, Eto'o's eight goals, but everyone began to believe that Yang Yang is quickly catching up.
According to the odds offered by the bookmaker, Messi is the most likely to win the Champions League Golden Boot this season, and it can be said that he is far ahead, because Gomez's Bayern stopped in the round of 16, and Eto'o's Inter Milan lost at home to Schalke 04, and the possibility of advancing is also very small.
Only Messi, although in Barcelona's 5-1 win over Shakhtar Donetsk, Messi did not score and contributed only one assist, but everyone is convinced that he will continue to score.
As for Yang Yang, the gap between him and Messi is still very large, but it is not completely without opportunities.
……
The European arena is in full swing, and Spain is also paying attention to the battle for the two champions of the Spanish Super League.
After the Champions League win over Tottenham Hotspur, Real Madrid soon set off to take on Athletic Bilbao away from home.
At the San Mamés Stadium, Real Madrid were met with stubborn sniping from Athletic Bilbao.
Athletic Bilbao, playing at home, played very bravely, although they were still defensive-oriented, but they were not conservative.
Rafa Benitez rotated his squad appropriately, but he still maintained his team's red-hot form.
Yang Yang in the thirteenth minute, received Kaka's through ball, from the left rib with the ball into the penalty area, Athletic Bilbao goalkeeper Ilesos decisively abandoned the goal, but was directly shaken by Yang Yang's pendulum pass, in the case of forced abandonment, can only fly to trip Yang Yang, was shown a yellow card by the referee, and awarded a penalty.
Yang Yang grabbed Kaka's hand, stood up from the ground, smiled and pushed Kaka to the penalty spot, and stuffed the ball handed over by his teammates into Kaka's arms, and generously gave away this penalty opportunity.
With the current situation in La Liga, Yang Yang is confident that he will beat Messi in the scorer list, so it doesn't matter to him whether he takes a penalty or not, but Kaka is different, he needs to score goals to stimulate his state, and more importantly, he is about to become a father, Yang Yang knows that he is eager to score.
Kaka knew Yang Yang's intentions, and after grabbing Yang Yang's shoulders hard, he was not polite and walked directly to the free throw point.
The Brazilian calmly took the penalty and hit the whole process neatly, and after the goal, he also took the initiative to hold Yang Yang's hand to celebrate, and at the same time made a flying kiss to his pot-bellied wife in the stands.
His daughter is about to come to this world, Kaka is now more motivated than anyone else, and as a friend, Yang Yang is the most able to understand and understand his mood, so Yang Yang chose to fulfill.
Kaka was still very active after that, and in the absence of Ibrahimovic, he and Yang Yang kept sparking sparks, and the Brazilian superstar also showed a great desire to win.
In the second half, after the rematch, in the fifty-fourth minute, when a counterattack was made, Kaka went straight to the left side of the penalty area to find Yang Yang, but Yang Yang reacted a beat slower, failed to grasp the best time, and hit the goal from a small angle after starting, which was saved by goalkeeper Ilesos.
But soon, Yang Yang received Kaka's pass again, burst into the penalty area with the ball, and was pushed down from behind by the Athletic Bilbao central defender, and the referee awarded a yellow card and a penalty again, and Yang Yang looked at Kaka with a smile and conceded a penalty again.
The Brazilian remembered Yang Yang's kindness, calmly took the penalty again, and rewrote the score to 2-0 in one fell swoop.
In the 70th minute, substitute Xavi Alonso made a diagonal pass, Kaka flashed on the left side of the front of the penalty area, picked the ball directly to Yang Yang, and let Yang Yang deduct former Liverpool teammate San Jose and push the upper right corner to score, rewriting the score to 3-0.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Athletic Bilbao by three goals, and Kaka was voted the best player of the match with two shots and one pass.
……
A day later than Real Madrid, Barcelona host Almeria.
Barcelona, who have been in poor form recently, failed to win Almeria in the first half, but was attacked by the opponent at the beginning of the second half and conceded a goal, but three minutes later, Messi relied on a penalty to equalize for Barcelona, and then Thiago Messi scored successively to help Barcelona reverse Almeria 3-1.
With these two goals, Messi's goal tally this season has increased to 31 goals, but he is still six goals behind Yang Yang.
But the goal competition between the two superstars, as well as the points-grabbing game of the two giants of the Spanish Super League, have made the entire Spanish football scene very excited.
It is clear to all that there is no other team in the entire La Liga league that can compete with them, except for Barcelona and Real Madrid.
As for Yang Yang and Messi, looking at the world, apart from Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo can barely keep up, who else can keep up with them?
……
In midweek, the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals is played.
Real Madrid travels to Tottenham Hotspur.
Back at White Hart Lane, the two sides played inextricably and couldn't tell the winner in the first half.
But in the fiftieth minute of the second half, Javier Martinez passed the ball, and Yang Yang, nearly 30 meters away from the goal, saw goalkeeper Gomez standing outside, and directly shot a powerful long shot straight to the goal.
Gomez made a save and got on the ball, but instead of stopping the ball, Gomez deflected it into the Tottenham goal.
One to zero.
In the 66th minute, David Silva made a foul on the pass, and Real Madrid won a free kick opportunity from 25 meters away.
Two to zero.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 with Yang Yang's brace.
Yang Yang also managed to increase his Champions League goal tally to seven.
However, in the other game, Barcelona beat Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 away, and it was Messi who scored the winning goal for Barcelona, which also allowed Messi to improve his Champions League goal to nine.
After the game, the entire European media was hyping Yang Yang's consecutive goals.
With five goals scored over two legs, the frenzied goalscoring momentum is an absolute awe for any opponent.
Among the odds offered by many bookmakers, Yang Yang once again caught up with Messi, and more and more fans began to believe that he could complete the counterattack.
It's as if he was beating Messi back in the La Liga scorer charts.
……
Real Madrid knocked out Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester United beat Chelsea 2-1 at home thanks to a goal from Cristiano Ronaldo, beating their opponents 3-1 over two legs.
The Portuguese superstar has scored 28 goals in the Premier League and six in the Champions League so far.
Raul's Schalke 04 created another upset, beating Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan in the quarter-finals to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League and meet Barcelona.
And everyone clearly sees that Barcelona has basically secured a place in the Champions League final in advance, and as for the other, it depends on the competition between Real Madrid and Manchester United.
Yang Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo, this is undoubtedly the most eye-catching matchup in the Champions League semifinals.
