Chapter 515 locks the first place in the group

If there is anyone who is happiest in the Madrid derby draw, it is Barcelona.

Barcelona swept Zaragoza 4-0 at home in this round!

With this victory, Pep Guardiola's team is at the top of the table!

They are one point ahead of Real Madrid and three points ahead of Atletico Madrid, who are in the top spot after the 13th round of the league.

"It's time to reclaim the La Liga title!!

"The championship belongs to the Barcelona !!"

Barcelona's rise to the top of the table has excited the Catalan press, and even though the league has only played 12 rounds now, it is enough to excite their fans.

"The key is the two games in the league against Real Madrid and the away league game against Atletico Madrid. If these three games can be won, Barcelona will have an absolute advantage in the competition for the league title! Three crucial matches, absolutely not to lose!! ”

"Daily Sports" said in the report.

.....

On Atletico Madrid's side, this season's league format is still quite stressful for Atletico Madrid.

With twelve league games to play, they are three points behind the top of the table, and that builds on their win over Barcelona.

That said, on some of the underdogs, Atletico Madrid dropped a bit too many points. Twelve games, three draws!

This format has worried many Atletico Madrid, and the media has attributed it to Atletico Madrid's drag on from the European competition.

In fact, this Gao Bo does not deny it.

The away journey in Europe is long and tiring, and Atletico Madrid's players are really not as experienced as Real Madrid or Barcelona in this regard.

However, Gao Bo does not think that it is a big deal to be three points behind now.

With more than two dozen league games to go, Atletico Madrid still has plenty of room to catch up.

And what really has a big impact on Atletico Madrid is the injury of the players.

So far this season, the team has had several players injured, which is also closely related to the intensive schedule, fortunately, there is no wave of injuries in the team, occasionally one or two players are injured, and the depth of the bench at Atletico Madrid is enough to cope.

However, it is only a little more than two months into the season, and the long season is just over a third of the way, and there are still bigger tests ahead of the team.

Immediately after playing Real Madrid, the team will play Levante at home in the fourteenth round.

With Atletico Madrid facing Bayern Munich away in three days' time, Gobo made some changes to the game.

First of all, in attack, Sadio Mane and Diego Costa started as two strikers.

In the midfield, Gao Bo chose Gabi, Mario Suarez, Koke, and teenager Saul to play!

The first three players were not a surprise, but the 17-year-old Saul's first start in the league came as a surprise to many.

For the use of young people, Gao Bo looks very bold.

But in fact, such a bold move seems to the outside world, but in Gao Bo's opinion, there is nothing.

First of all, the opponent is not too strong, and it is still playing at home, and after the rotation, Atletico Madrid is still ahead of Levante.

As for Saul, Gobo sees it as a reward for a young player who trains hard, and by the age of 17, he can start to adapt to the top flight.

When facing a weak team, let the young players come on the field to feel the atmosphere of the game, without affecting the overall situation, Gao Bo is happy to do so.

Facts have also proved that the rotation of Atletico Madrid has not affected their strength too much.

Sadio Mane was particularly prominent in this game, as he had plenty of chances to get the ball behind Diego Costa.

And Atletico Madrid's first goal was made by Mane, after taking the ball in the big penalty area, he cut into the left side of the small penalty area and shot from a small angle, the football was blocked by the goalkeeper and bounced back into the penalty area, and Diego Costa in the box seized the opportunity to shoot and sent the ball into the goal.

After taking the lead, Atletico Madrid played more calmly.

In the second half, Koke's long-range shot doubled Atletico Madrid's score, and with zero minutes to go, Mane scored with a low shot from inside the box to seal the win for Atletico Madrid!

Three to zero, Atletico Madrid won a big game!

And after this game, there was good news from another field.

Barcelona were held to a draw away by Getafe, who only stayed at the top of the table for one round before dropping to second place.

Real Madrid narrowly beat Valencia 3-2 away to move back to the top of the table after a win.

In the La Liga standings, the troika is chasing after me, making the competition for the title more intense.

.......

Immediately after the match, Atletico Madrid boarded a flight at the airport to Munich, Germany.

This match is a highlight of the Champions League group stage and will also be the one that will decide the top of the group.

For Bayern Munich, this game is absolutely necessary to win and win the three points, otherwise, they may end up in second place in the group, and then fight with the group winners of other groups in the round of 16.

Before the game, Heynckes stressed that they would give 100% at home and beat Atletico Madrid at home! Grab the top spot in the group!

Due to the first leg between the two sides, Atletico Madrid defeated Bayern Munich 3-2, so for Bayern Munich, as long as they don't concede more than two goals at home and win against Atletico Madrid, they can top the group standings by virtue of the small advantage of the two teams!

Therefore, as soon as the game started, Atletico Madrid was able to feel the huge pressure that Bayern Munich had put on them!

The assault on either side of Robben and Ribery, combined with the big centre-forward Mandzukic in the middle, is quite a threat both physically and technically.

Atletico Madrid, playing away, appears to be very passive.

However, for the current scene, Gao Bo has already expected it.

Due to Raul Garcia's injury, Gobo started with Gabi, and in midfield, the combination of Modric, Kante and Gabi slightly weakened the attack and strengthened the defence.

For Atletico Madrid, they can top the group with a draw in this game, so in the face of Bayern Munich's aggressive attack, they shrink their defense, and as long as Bayern Munich does not score, their players will probably become more and more impatient.

The Allianz Arena turned into a sea of cheers, and with the loud shouts of the fans, Bayern Munich launched wave after wave of offensives.

Atletico Madrid's defence is like a solid seawall, and no matter how big the wave of Bayern Munich's attack is, they will always stand still.

Until the seventieth minute of the game, the score was still 0-0.

Heynckes on the sidelines was already ready to deploy troops and send attackers for a last-ditch fight.

And at this moment, Gabi launched a counterattack directly after the midfield broke the ball.

Griezmann received the ball and quickly passed it to the ribs, Aguero followed up and stopped the ball with his left foot, and shot directly with his right foot from a small angle!

With this goal, Atletico Madrid won the game!

In the other Group A game, Manchester City won 2-1 at home to Napoli, which gave City four points from five games and only three points behind Bayern Munich.

Napoli are almost certain to be out, and in the final round of the group stage, Manchester City will face Bayern Munich away from home, and for Mancini's side, they still have a chance to qualify from the group!

In the last round of the group stage, the match between Napoli, which locked the first place in the group in advance and was eliminated in advance, has completely lost its meaning, and Bayern Munich and Manchester City will have a life-and-death battle in the final round!
