1157 Four-goal victory
Real Madrid players took the opportunity of the team dinner to make a public appearance in front of media reporters, especially in front of the cameras of national television, which is undoubtedly more revealing than any explanation and public relations.
That's inside the Real Madrid dressing room, there's really nothing wrong with it.
Even Yang Yang and Ramos, who had an argument in the locker room, seemed to have no contradictions, and even joked with each other, which was definitely not the kind of incompatibility that the outside world rumored.
As a result, those media reporters and fans who really care about and like Real Madrid are relieved, while those who want Real Madrid to fall apart are disappointed, but at the same time, there are many voices that Real Madrid is deliberately putting on a show.
But this voice did not attract too much attention again, because if it is insisted on targeting, then no matter what Real Madrid does, it will definitely be singled out for some targeting, which is inevitable.
After learning that there was no problem in the Real Madrid dressing room, everyone also began to turn their attention to Yang Yang, especially whether the Spanish Football Federation would punish Yang Yang.
Since the thirtieth round of La Liga was held in midweek, the Spanish Football Federation reacted quickly this time.
The morning before the game, the Football Association held a press conference, saying that Yang Yang's speech in an interview with the media after the game would be punished, and a one-game ban would be punished.
The Spanish referees committee also said at the same time that the referee who enforced the century derby will conduct an internal investigation, and the specific details will not be announced to the public, but the internal ban is inevitable, and even the punishment may be greater than Yang Yang.
After the Spanish Football Association and the referee committee announced the results, Real Madrid publicly stated that they accepted the punishment of the Football Association, and Yang Yang also tweeted that he was willing to take responsibility for it and accept the punishment from the Football Association.
Obviously, the one-game ban is not heavy, and it is within the acceptable range of Real Madrid and Yang Yang.
If it were someone else, it wouldn't be a ban.

In midweek, in the thirtieth round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Sevilla away.
Yang Yang and Sergio Ramos were both absent due to suspension, coupled with the recent knockout of Barcelona, followed by a double game in a row, Ancelotti rotated the team's lineup.
At the Estadio Pizjuán, Real Madrid took the lead in the 14th minute, but in the 19th minute, Sevilla equalised through Reyes for Barca, but Suarez scored twice just before the end of the first half to give Real Madrid the lead again.
But in the 72nd minute of the second half, Rakitic sent a through pass, and Bacca pushed it in the penalty area, hit Casillas's leg, and refracted into Real Madrid's goal.
In the end, the two sides drew 2-2, and Real Madrid ushered in their third draw of the season.
Although it is a draw, it is unbeaten in 30 rounds of 27 wins and three draws this season, this report card has basically locked up the league title in advance, and Ancelotti also said after the game that Real Madrid will do more to focus on the Champions League and Copa del Rey finals.
In Real Madrid's draw away to Sevilla, Barcelona defeated Celta Vigo 3-0 at home thanks to Neymar's brace and Messi's goal, but that didn't matter.
Interestingly, while Messi has performed well, Cristiano Ronaldo has been a bit sluggish.
A big reason is that the Portuguese has been put in the left winger position, playing a tactical support role for Messi in the middle.
This style of play was first seen in the Century Derby, as was the case against Celta Vigo.
Lionel Messi's goal, Neymar's brace and Cristiano Ronaldo's only one assist and the trident looked to be doing well, but the Portuguese's failure to fire was somewhat worrying.
How to equalize the three superstars in the front court is also a big problem that Barcelona will face next.

At the weekend, the 31st round of La Liga.
Barcelona welcomed a local derby and challenged Espanyol away.
After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Barcelona narrowly defeated Espanyol 1-0 in the 77th minute with a penalty kick from Messi, and the performance of the whole game was not particularly ideal.
Atletico Madrid reversed Athletic Bilbao 2-1 away thanks to goals from Diego Costa and Koke.
After a round of bans, Yang Yang returned to play this game and faced Rayo Vallecano at home.
In the fifteenth minute, Yang Yang received a pass from Hazard, and in the face of three defenders, he burst into the penalty area with the ball and shot into the far corner to open the scoring for Real Madrid.
After the rematch in the second half, Carvajal cut inside at high speed on the right and passed straight to Suarez.
The Uruguayan striker crossed to Yang Yang on the right side of the penalty area, Yang Yang stopped and turned around, and the return pass assisted Carvajal to hit a volley, 2-0.
After that, it was a pass from Yang Yang, Marcelo crossed from the left, and Suarez scored with an easy header at the back point, 3-0.
Three minutes later, Ramos played a long ball and Suarez scored another goal to score a brace.
This is also the Uruguayan striker's two consecutive braces in each game, and his form is also quite good.
Eight minutes later, Isco provided an assist to score a goal from Alvaro Morata who came on as a substitute for Yang Yang.
Isco has been playing more of a substitute role in recent times, but he has performed well every time he has been on the pitch, and Alvaro Morata has also been in good form, becoming an important rotation player in Real Madrid's forward line after Jesse's serious injury.
It is worth mentioning that before Real Madrid played Rayo Vallecano, Jesse underwent knee ligament surgery in Augsburg, Germany, which was very successful, and will need at least half a year or so of rest after that.
Real Madrid gave Jesse encouragement from top to bottom, hoping that he could recover as soon as possible and return to the team.
Hesse also posted a tweet immediately after the operation, telling fans that his surgery was a success, and he was also full of expectations for his return as soon as possible, saying that with the encouragement of Yang Yang and other teammates, he is confident that he can overcome the injury and return to the team.

On the evening of April 2, at the Bernabeu Stadium.
In the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, Real Madrid faced Borussia Dortmund.
Carlo Ancelotti once again lined up in a three-five-two formation for this game, with goalkeeper Casillas, three central defenders of Vermaelen, Xavi Martinez and Ramos, Marcelo and Carvajal on the wings, Isco, Mascherano and Modric in the middle of the midfield, and Yang Yang and Suarez in the middle of the midfield.
Isco was given a start mainly because Di Maria had gastroenteritis before the game, which forced him to miss this game, while David Silva is currently injured and also missed this game.
Although there are players missing, this is not an opportunity for Isco to return to the starting line-up?
As soon as the game began, Real Madrid took advantage of the home advantage and launched a rush against Dortmund.
In just three minutes, after Vermaelen won the ball at the back, he directly sent a long pass to the right side of the front.
Suarez quickly pulled up to the right flank, carried Schmelzer with his body, stopped the ball in front of the baseline, turned and passed back to Carvajal who was cut in behind.
Real Madrid's right wing-back has been playing more and more confidently this season, and now firmly occupies the position of the team's main right wing-back, Danilo has been forced to play only a rotation and substitute role, getting very few appearances, and Carvajal's best is to plug in.
It was as if this time, after receiving Suarez's return pass, he stepped into the box and crossed to the middle.
Yang Yang quickly stepped forward near the penalty spot, and did not stop Carvajal's ball, but took a step forward, and in the middle of the three defenders around him, he stabbed the ball with his left foot before the goalkeeper could attack into place, and sent the ball into the goal of Dortmund, 1-0.
In the twelfth minute, when Isco broke forward with the ball, he created a direct free kick opportunity 28 meters away from the goal and in the middle.
This goal also basically sealed Real Madrid's victory, but also caused some confusion for Dortmund.
In the 27th minute, Real Madrid continued to put pressure on Dortmund, Mkhitaryan accidentally kicked the ball directly to the Real Madrid player when he cleared the ball in the penalty area, Modric sent a wonderful pass, Isco shot low from 16 meters in front of the goal, and broke Dortmund's goal again, 3-0.
Heading into half-time with a three-goal lead, Real Madrid was full of confidence both inside and out.
At the start of the second half, it began to drizzle in Madrid, which brought more mistakes to the game.
Real Madrid are starting to play more securely, and Carlo Ancelotti is clearly not willing to take risks lightly.
In the 57th minute, Modric sent the ball into the penalty area with a wonderful pass with the outside instep, Yang Yang stopped the ball and picked up the attacking goalkeeper Weidenfeller, and then chased it to hit a left-footed push, scoring a hat trick and completely locking the game.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Dortmund 4-0 at home with Yang Yang's hat trick.
With a four-goal victory, Real Madrid can be said to have basically locked up the win and advanced ahead of schedule, and Yang Yang's goal state in this game is even more surprising, because his Champions League goals this season have reached 12 goals.
But what is more important is the overall consistent performance of Real Madrid.
Ancelotti once again discharged a three-five-two formation in this game, and the combination of Yang Yang and Suarez's double strikers is also becoming more and more tacit, and the midfield attack is becoming more and more skillful, with rich offensive means and reassuring defense.
This shocked everyone after the game, because Real Madrid's performance in this game was too dominant, and the attack and defense were very stable, allowing everyone to see a mature and stable Real Madrid team.
Even many media speculate that this season's Real Madrid is stronger and better than last season, and is already the current number one favorite to win the Champions League, and Real Madrid's number one opponent is the sworn enemy Barcelona.
It's just that no one expected that in the first leg of the quarterfinals, Barcelona suffered a blow at Camp Nou!
