Chapter 539: Breaking the La Liga points record
In the other Champions League semi-final a day later, Real Madrid, who were playing at home, beat visiting Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich by one goal thanks to Karim Benzema's header in the 64th minute of the first half.
Although Real Madrid won the game, they were absolutely at a disadvantage when it came to the statistics of the game.
Shots on goal: 9 vs 15;
Number of shots: 5 to 10;
Corners: 3 to 15;
Possession: 36% to 64%.
If it weren't for the many miracle saves of "San Cassie" in the game, I am afraid that the Bernabeu Stadium would have fallen under the iron hooves of Bayern Munich.
The reason for this situation is that in addition to the gap in the midfield strength of the two teams, the poor form of Ronaldo, the leading scorer of the Real Madrid team, is also one of the important reasons.
Of the team's total of nine shots, Cristiano Ronaldo alone accounted for five of them. But unfortunately, he only had one shot on goal, and there was also a good chance to score only 6 meters from the goal, but he kicked it straight out of the bottom line.
Ancelotti, who couldn't bear it, replaced Ronaldo with Bale in the 62nd minute of the game. Ironically, less than two minutes after Bale's debut, he took advantage of a counter-attack to break the deadlock for Benzema.
Not only that, Bale's speed advantage also forced the Bayern Munich team's backline not to press forward as unscrupulously as before, thus relieving the defensive pressure of Real Madrid to a certain extent.
However, Real Madrid won the first leg of the Champions League thanks to Benzema, but after seeing their poor performance in this game, even the "mouthpiece media" such as "Marca" expressed concern about the second leg in a week's time.
…………
Due to the brace in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, thus "refreshing" the Champions League single-season goal record to 18 goals, Feng Quan was rewarded with 2 skill points from the system again after the game.
Although Feng Quan was very pleased with the skill points rewarded by the system, due to the fact that the competition tasks in recent times were too heavy, and the [Great God's Light] skill had exacerbated his physical exertion, after getting 2 skill points from the system, Feng Quan immediately entered the "System Mall" and then purchased 2 bottles of [Status Recovery Potion] to increase his "Body Status Value" to 94 points.
Feng Quan, who has not raised his "physical condition value" to above 90 for a long time, was as fierce as a tiger in the away game against Valencia on April 27.
Only 3 minutes into the game, Feng Quan, who was facing away from the attacking direction, stopped Gabi's long pass from the back with his chest on the left side of the front court, then picked the ball over the head of Feghouli, who was marking him, with his right foot, and then quickly turned around Feghouli to push the ball forward with his head before the ball landed, and then began to run forward at high speed along the left touchline.
Facing Barragan who came to make up for the defense, Feng Quan's body shook slightly to the left, and then his right foot immediately flicked the ball to the right front, and then slashed diagonally to the penalty area.
When Feng Quan dribbled the ball to the corner of the penalty area on the left side, he saw that three teammates had already inserted into the box, and he immediately sent a cross to the empty space on the right side of the box. In order to allow the football to smoothly bypass the opponent's defense, Feng Quan also deliberately increased the rotation of the football when passing.
As a result, the ball drew an extremely clear arc in the air, and after Griezmann, who had already been ambushed in the air, returned to the vicinity of the penalty line, Alda Turan broke the deadlock with a powerful long-range shot.
Nine minutes later, after receiving a long pass from Koke near the top of the penalty area, Feng Quan, with his back to the goal, leaned on Mathieu's body and forced a turn, and suddenly shot a furious shot about 21 meters from the goal.
Feng Quan's shot was so sudden that goalkeeper Diego Alves didn't have time to make a save, and could only watch as the ball grazed the post on the right side of the goal and drilled into the net.
In the 28th minute of the first half, after receiving a cross from Griezmann near the center circle, Feng Quan first used his speed advantage to force past Canales, and then crossed directly through the gap between the two before Romeu and Parejo formed a circle, and then went directly to the opponent's penalty area.
Just when the Valencia player thought that Feng Quan would force his way into the box and shoot himself, he flicked a shot and passed the ball to the space on the right side of the box.
Griezmann made a slight adjustment and then fired a low shot through the Valencia goal again.
After another 10 minutes, Griezmann cut inside from the right flank to the edge of the box to attract the attention of two opposing players and redistribute the ball to the space on the right flank. Juan Fran, who was inserted at high speed, took a step forward and swept the ball straight to the goal.
In the next moment, Feng Quan, who was originally ambushed near the penalty spot, rushed into the small penalty area like lightning and pushed the ball into the near corner of the goal before the goalkeeper fell to the ground.
It is worth mentioning that at the moment when Feng Quan suddenly started, Mathieu, who was marking him, once tugged at his shirt in an attempt to interfere with his shot.
However, Matthieu's pull not only failed to interfere with the wind, but was almost carried directly to the lawn by the wind's swift momentum.
After the end of the first half, Diego Simeone replaced Feng Quan, who had completed three consecutive league games, with David Villa. At the same time, Atletico Madrid, which has a four-goal lead, once again showed its best defensive tactics.
Although Valencia's defensive pressure was drastically reduced after the wind went off, Griezmann, who also had the advantage of speed, still caused a lot of headaches for their backline.
In the 11th minute of the second half, Raul Garcia stole Canales with the assistance of Thiago and then sent a through ball into the space on the right side of the field.
Griezmann dribbled quickly to the right side of the penalty area to attract the attention of several defenders before suddenly slotting the ball into the middle of the pitch.
Outflanked Diego Costa first slotted past Ruiz with his left foot before slotting a powerful volley into the top left corner of the net.
Just two minutes after Diego Costa opened the scoring, Diego Simeone brought him off with Adrian López.
After taking a five-goal lead, the Atletico Madrid players were a little slack, and Valencia seized on a mistake to score a face-saving goal.
In the end, after defeating Valencia 5-1, with 33 wins, 2 draws, and 101 points, he broke the record of the highest points in La Liga held by the "Spanish Super League Giants".
In addition, Feng Quan, who leads the scorer list with 47 goals, is also very likely to break the personal record of 50 goals in a single season held by Argentine king Messi. At the same time, Feng Quan, who has scored 71 goals in all competitions (6 goals in the Copa del Rey and 18 goals in the Champions League), is also close to breaking the world record of 73 goals scored by Messi in a single season.
