According to the rules of the Champions League group stage, the top two can directly enter the round of 16 knockout rounds, at first glance, it seems that the first and second places are qualified, the difference is not very big, but if you carefully analyze it in depth, it is not difficult to find that the difference is very big.

The draw rules for the round of 16 are that the top eight teams play against the eight second teams, which means that the top team can meet the second place team in the other groups, while those strong teams tend to finish first in the group.

Therefore, if you are unfortunate enough to finish second in the group, it is very likely that you will meet the top team in the other group.

Someone once summed up such a classic route to winning the Champions League, that is, from the group stage to the knockout stage, the opponent's strength gradually improves, and the advantage of this is that you can gradually run in the team, adjust your condition, and finally play at your best level in the final.

If you follow this line, then it is undoubtedly quite disadvantageous to encounter a strong opponent in the round of 16 knockouts.

Real Madrid's signing luck this season is very bad, the group stage was drawn to the Premier League, the Bundesliga and the Eredivisie league champions, these teams are not bad, it is very troublesome to play, and from the first two rounds of games, Manchester City's problems are mainly focused on the head coach Mancini, who has never been a good manager to play in the Champions League.

Ajax are the weakest of the four teams and have the least chance of competing for the right to qualify.

On the contrary, it is Borussia Dortmund, and Jurgen Klopp's team have become the top rivals for Real Madrid to qualify for the top spot in the group.

What's more, according to the Champions League group stage schedule, Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund will play each other home and away in a row, and these two games will be crucial, who has the advantage and who will take the lead in the battle for the top spot in the group.

For Real Madrid, the group is a must-win affair, and the two games against Borussia Dortmund are also not to be missed.

But what's worse is that the injuries of Marcelo and Arbeloa disrupted all the deployments of Real Madrid, and they lost two wide generals at once, which is not only weakened on the offensive side of Real Madrid, which is good at playing on the side, but also on the defensive side facing Dortmund, who is also good at playing on the side, it is simply a disaster.

The coaching staff, led by Carlo Ancelotti, started both Azpilicueta and Carvajal at the same time, one left and one right, and from the start of the game, Carvajal was a little immature, but Azpilicueta did a solid job against Reus, which was reassuring.

But just when Real Madrid gradually gained the upper hand, the departure of Javi Martinez with an injury cast another shadow on the team.

At the end of the day, it's still the schedule.

So far this season, Real Madrid have played the most games in Europe, in addition to the domestic league and the Champions League, Real Madrid have also played three Super Cups, coupled with the large number of internationals in the team, the pressure of the game is really high.

Without injuries, the team will naturally be able to persevere, but once injuries hit, especially like now, one after another, it will be a big blow to the confidence of Real Madrid players.

Who knows, if anyone will be hurt next?

It was in this situation that Yang Yang decisively changed his playing style and expanded his scope of activities.

Not long afterward, Hornets captain Kyle was forced by David Silva to pass back to Piszczek.

……

There was nothing wrong with Kyle's kick back as Piszczek and Subotic were both not far behind him at the time.

The problem was that Yang Yang suddenly jumped out in front of Subotic, went straight to the passing line, grabbed ahead of Piszczek, intercepted the ball, and launched a quick counterattack towards the Dortmund penalty area.

The sudden goal sent the whole stadium in an uproar.

Yang Yang dribbled the ball all the way to the penalty area from the left side, but Subotic's reaction was also extremely fast, and he was firmly stuck on the inside.

This player knew Yang Yang when he played in Mainz, and because Yang Yang visited Zheng Zhi at that time, he clearly knew the strength of Subotic.

When rushing into the penalty area with the ball, Yang Yang slowed down at the first time and approached Subotic one-on-one.

When Hazard in the middle and Di Maria in the back row had already followed, Yang Yang suddenly started, directly made a feint to cut inside, deceived Subotic, and suddenly rushed the ball to the bottom line, and the whole person rushed up at the fastest speed.

Subotic was tall and strong, but he was not fast, and he was far less agile than Yang Yang, so he was thrown off at once.

However, Yang Yang could not threaten the goal, because Subotic chased the inside, so Yang Yang could only play the ball with his left foot, pass the ball to the middle, and pass it to the front point on the periphery of the small penalty area.

The whole process took place in the blink of an eye, and when the ball passed from Subotic into the box, the Dortmund centre-back suddenly realized that Yang Yang was a winger and could use his left foot as well as his right.

Hazard had already guessed Yang Yang's intention when Yang Yang slowed down to face Subotic, and immediately went straight to the goal, while Di Maria cut diagonally into the box from the right rib and interfered with Hummels' judgment.

When Yang Yang passed the ball out, the next thing was logical.

Eden Hazard easily slotted the ball into the bottom left corner of the net for Borussia Dortmund.

After the Belgian scored, the whole person quickly rushed to the left, and Yang Yang quickly chased after him, catching up with the excited Hazard in the corner area, and grabbing Hazard's head hard, as if a big brother was affirming the achievements of the little brother.

Hazard was also extremely excited, turned around and hugged Yang Yang hard, and kept thanking him.

He knew very well that more of the credit for this goal came from Yang Yang's assist, if it wasn't for Yang Yang expanding his range of motion, stealing Kyle's pass, and then forcing a one-on-one break through Subotic, he would not have had such a scoring opportunity.

Real Madrid's players also rushed over to congratulate Eden Hazard on his goal.

It can be said that this goal greatly dissipated the pressure on Real Madrid.

…………

…………

With the goal, the game was completely opened.

Borussia Dortmund abandoned the opening stages of the contraction and Klopp was clearly aware that the traps he had laid for Real Madrid were not enough to make them lethal, and the main reason was that the main part of the counter-attack, Reuss, did not work against Azpilicueta.

The Spanish defender's cameo on the left flank was solid, which was a real surprise.

With a goal down at home, Borussia Dortmund had no choice.

After returning to the original tactical play, the Hornets began to press Real Madrid in midfield.

This is Dortmund's usual tactic, and it is easy to use.

Dortmund's large-scale pressing also made Real Madrid's midfield mistakes, Pepe was forced by Lewandowski when receiving the ball in a time, and there was a mistake when passing back to the midfielder to Mascherano, and after the ball was cut off by Kehl, he made a straight pass to the back of the defense.

Lewandowski made a quick start between Ramos and Pepe, formed a one-on-one in the box, and scored with a pick-and-shoot to pull a goal back for Dortmund, and the two sides returned to a one-one, draw.

But at this time, the pace of the game has been accelerated, and both sides have no reservations.

The styles of the two teams are very similar, and at this time, when the situation is opened, there is no fancy, and it is just to pull off the stance.

Just two minutes later, Azpilicueta made a tackle at the back and Ramos fed Xavi Alonso, who sent a long ball over the top that pinpointed over the heads of two of Dortmund's tall centre-backs and into the box.

Yang Yang successfully countered offside, rushed into the penalty area, faced the attacking goalkeeper Weidenfeller, did not stop the ball, directly volleyed, the ball crossed Weidenfeller's head, and crashed into the goal again, two to one!

Real Madrid once again put the score out!

……

Heading into the break with a 2-1 lead, Carlo Ancelotti praised his team's performance in the first half, but also pointed out some of the team's problems, especially defensively.

After the rematch in the second half, the pace of the game was still very fast.

It's obviously the rhythm that Borussia Dortmund are most familiar with, but Real Madrid are no strangers either.

Not long after the opening, Lewandowski and Yang Yang were offside successively, especially Yang Yang, who fell into the offside trap twice.

Both sides played very unrestrainedly, you went back and forth to fight against each other, but each other's defense was targeted, so in the first 20 minutes of the second half, there was no goal.

It wasn't until the 68th minute that a cross from Dortmund was sent into the box, Casillas decisively abandoned the goal, knocked the ball out with both hands, but the ball fell on the edge of the box, Schmelzer followed up with a volley, the ball hit Pepe's intercepted foot, bounced in one direction, and crashed into the Real Madrid goal.

Casillas made a save, but he couldn't stop the sudden change of direction.

It was two to two, and the two sides were once again back to a draw.

But just five minutes after Dortmund's equalizer, before the Hornets could take it back, Real Madrid broke the ball again in midfield and launched a quick attack.

On the right side, Di Maria took the ball and tried to force a breakthrough to the bottom line, but failed, and was forced to make a sharp stop and turn back, and crossed with his left foot to the penalty area, which was cleared by Dortmund central defender Subotic with a header and pushed out of the penalty area.

The game has been steady at the back, but the inconspicuous Azpilicueta suddenly appeared on the left side of the edge of the box, faced with the ball cleared by Subotic, jumped high again, and headed back into the box.

The sudden change caused chaos in the penalty area, and Yang Yang reacted the fastest, taking the first step and pushing his forehead to the left side of the goal, and the ball also hit the inside of the left post and bounced into Dortmund's goal.

Three to two!

Real Madrid once again put the score out!

“GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL！！！！！”

"Yang Yang!"

"At the critical moment, it's Yang Yang again, three to two!"

"He led Real Madrid out of the devil's home turf!"

Yang Yang was the first to rush to Cesar Azpilicueta and pulled the Spanish defender directly to celebrate the timely goal.

3-2, maintaining this score, Real Madrid will be able to walk out of this West*** stadium with their heads held high, and they will also be able to occupy a favorable position in the battle for the top spot in the group.
