After playing Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid successfully advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League, against last season's old enemy Bayern Munich.

The Bundesliga side beat Manchester United 3-1 at their home stadium to secure the right to qualify 4-2 on aggregate.

In the other semi-zone, Atletico Madrid defeated Barcelona 1-0 at home with a goal from Koke in the opening five minutes, and successfully advanced to the semifinals with an aggregate score of 2-1.

The star-studded, star-studded dream Barcelona suffered a tragic defeat in front of the impregnable Atletico Madrid, which caused extensive discussion among the media and fans around the world after the game, and everyone was analyzing, what is Barcelona like this season? Why is the squad so strong, but it has suffered defeats one after another?

Because of this defeat, Martino was basically sentenced to death.

The Daily Sport newspaper even asserted that even if Martino's side won the subsequent Copa del Rey final, they would be sacked at the end of the season, and Bartomeu is already starting to look for a manager for Barcelona in the new season.

Chelsea beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 at home, with the Blues eventually beating Paris Saint-Germain 3-3 on aggregate to advance to the semi-finals against Atletico Madrid.

In this way, the semi-finals formed a pattern of Real Madrid facing Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid facing Chelsea.

This also surprised Real Madrid, because before this season, Carlo Ancelotti had said that Atletico Madrid had the strength to reach the last four of the Champions League and even the final, and as a result, Simeone's Sheets Army did reach the last four.

Bayern Munich were thrilled to learn that they had met Real Madrid in the semi-finals as early as last season, which gave the Bundesliga giants confidence that they could beat Real Madrid again this season and advance to the Champions League final.

This time, Bayern Munich will not let the title go by the way again.

Guardiola also publicly stated in an interview with the media that he is full of hunger for the Champions League title.

Speaking of which, he is also quite unlucky, because in the years of Barcelona coaching, although his football philosophy has changed the entire European football and even world football, but in fact, he has never won even one Champions League title, which makes Guardiola regret, but after he left, his assistant Vilanova led the team to win the Champions League.

Because of this, Pep Guardiola is full of tireless pursuit of the Champions League.

Bayern Munich fans are also full of eagerness, as they have also been away from the Champions League for more than a decade, and last season's defeat to Barcelona in the final was painful for them.

This time, in order to cheer up the team, DeBayern Munich fans even prepared special T-shirts for the game.

The German newspaper Bild published the style of the T-shirt, which was a red T-shirt, with the Bayern Munich team logo in the middle of the chest under the round neckline, and the words "Let's go to Lisbon" written in German below the team emblem! ”

Lisbon, Portugal, is the venue for this season's Champions League final, and Bayern Munich's slogan represents their ambition and confidence in their team.

Underneath the German slogan are two lines in black Spanish, "We are black beasts!" ”

This sentence represents their motivation for the team, written exclusively in Spanish, and it is clear that they want Real Madrid fans to be able to understand it, and it is a provocation they send to Real Madrid fans to express their confidence in beating Real Madrid to reach the final.

At the same time, it is also an encouragement to the team.

At the bottom, there are two lines of white English text for Bayern Munich vs. Real Madrid and the 2014 Champions League semi-finals, which explain the time and object.

It can be said that this is Bayern Munich declaring war on Real Madrid.

As for the provocation from the opponent's fans and media, Real Madrid officials did not give any response, because the schedule of La Liga is very dense, and Real Madrid simply can't find time to deal with this "opponent".

April 13, at the Bernabeu Stadium.

In the 33rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid played Almeria at home.

With the Copa del Rey semi-finals approaching in midweek, Carlo Ancelotti rotated the game again, but Yang Yang offered to play in the league because he felt he was in very good shape.

In the 28th minute, the teenager Nacho passed the ball in the backfield, Yang Yang stopped the ball and picked up the penalty area, Di Maria hit the right side of the penalty area, scored into the far corner, and opened the scoring for Real Madrid.

After the rematch in the second half, in the 53rd minute, Yang Yang sent another assist, and Hazard scored a goal to further expand the score and basically seal the victory for Real Madrid.

Just three minutes later, it was Yang Yang's cross from the right again, and Isco's shot from the left side of the penalty spot in the penalty area hit it, 3-0.

In the 65th minute, Ilya Ramendi picked up a pass in the penalty area, Yang Yang successfully countered offside, and scored with a volley to score his 50th league goal this season.

Subsequently, Yang Yang was replaced by Morata, and the Real Madrid teenager scored a goal for Real Madrid in the 86th minute, receiving a pass from Isco, and the final score was locked at 5-0, and Real Madrid defeated Almeria at home.

Yang Yang scored one shot and three assists and was elected the best player of the game.

……

Real Madrid has won consecutive games, and Atletico Madrid has also been terrifying recently, but only Barcelona.

This round of Barcelona away to Granada, this should have been a game of nine out of ten, but what I didn't expect was that Brahimi scored a goal for Granada in the 16th minute, and then no matter how Barcelona attacked, they couldn't break Granada's goal.

What's more, Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar were all present, and all three of them played the whole game, which can't help but be surprising.

It's a bit unbelievable that the three superstars were present at the same time and couldn't break through Granada's goal.

What is even more terrifying is that Barcelona had 81 per cent possession of the ball, while Granada had only 19 per cent, creating the most disparity in possession in La Liga in the past few years.

But with such an astonishing possession rate and so many superstars, Barcelona has never been able to score, how can it be explained?

And in such a state, in the Copa del Rey final in midweek, can Barcelona stop the wolf-like Real Madrid?

Martino's answer was, yes!

…………

April 16, Mestania Stadium, Valencia.

Copa del Rey final, Real Madrid vs. Barcelona.

In the 85th minute of the game, both sides scored one goal each, and the score was 1-1.

……

In this game, both sides adopted a four-three-three formation.

Barcelona started with goalkeeper Valdés, Alba, Mathieu, Baltra and Alves at the back, Cesc Fabregas, Sergio Busquets and Xavi in midfield, and Neymar, Messi and Andres Iniesta up front.

There was a big change in this game when Portuguese Cristiano Ronaldo was put on the bench by Martino instead of in the starting line-up.

Real Madrid also lined up four or three, goalkeeper Casillas, Marcelo, Vermaelen, Ramos and Carvajal at the back, Javi Martinez was injured, but this time Ancelotti pulled out Xavi Alonso's lone midfielder, David Silva and Modric formed the midfield.

In the frontcourt, Yang Yang returned to the left winger position he was most familiar with, Suarez was in the middle, and Di Maria played as a right winger.

The Argentine winger has also been in great form lately, performing very well, and has completely pressed Robben on the bench, and there are rumors of the departure of the Dutch Flyer.

Both sides made very bold adjustments, and Real Madrid also adopted the targeted tactics of the past, pressing Barcelona high from the start, and in the 11th minute, Real Madrid quickly counterattacked after a midfield break.

David Silva broke the ball and passed it to Suarez, who in turn passed it back to David Silva.

The Spanish midfielder passed to the left side, Yang Yang deducted Alves, and made a diagonal pass with his right foot, Di Maria shook off Alba, who was not tightly marked, and quickly broke through the penalty area and scored with a low shot to open the scoring for Real Madrid.

But after that, Barcelona continued to control the situation on the field, and Real Madrid mainly defended and counterattacked.

It wasn't until the second half that Martino made a substitution at half-time, with Cristiano Ronaldo replacing Cesc Fabregas and bringing Andres Iniesta back into midfield, with the Portuguese coming up front.

The substitution also represented a reflection on Martino's opening tactics, as Barcelona played unaggressively in the first half, with a slow pace and tempo of the game, and despite the obvious dominance of possession, there was a serious lack of threat in attack.

After Cristiano Ronaldo came on the pitch, Barcelona's attack began to gain height and speed.

In the 68th minute, Xavi took a corner kick, Real Madrid leaked in the box, and Baltra headed in front of the goal to pull one back for Barcelona.

The two sides are back on the same page.

was equalized by Barcelona, but Ancelotti did not have any intention of substitution and continued to adopt a steady counterattack tactic.

Barcelona had possession of the ball, but also did not make substitutions, continuing to patiently organize and plan the attack, patiently waiting for the moment and looking for opportunities, and both sides adopted a more conservative strategy.

It is clear that both Carlo Ancelotti and Martino have been affected by the Copa del Rey final, and no one wants to make mistakes easily, and they have even begun to focus on extra time and even penalty shootouts.

This explains why neither side has any intention of making substitutions.

Race time ticks by.

In a quick attack, the Portuguese suddenly fired a cold arrow, hit a long-range shot, which was quickly saved by Casillas, and won another corner, which made Real Madrid worry up and down.

But this time, Barcelona's corner kick was directly grabbed by no one, and after being driven from the right side, it fell directly to the left.

Marcelo quickly rushed out of the penalty area, chased the ball, and grabbed the ball before it went out of the sideline, and made a hook pass to the front.

David Silva won the ball on the edge of the box and took two steps forward to deliver a through ball.
