Considering that there is still a Champions League knockout match with Barcelona to play in 3 days, Feng Quan began to play "health ball" after helping the team score the equalizing goal.

Although Athletic Bilbao, playing at home, wanted to win this game and continue to keep up with Real Madrid in the standings, they did not dare to invest too much in the attack due to the huge deterrence after the wind came on.

In the end, Atletico Madrid managed to secure a draw at the San Mamés Stadium thanks to goals from Antoine Griezmann and Feng Quan.

Although the draw in this game fixed Atletico Madrid's winning streak at 21 games, they continued to save the possibility of creating the unprecedented myth of "La Liga unbeaten in a single season".

In addition, after this game, and with the addition of the last three rounds of last season, Atletico Madrid's unbeaten streak in La Liga has reached 34, and it is getting closer and closer to the record of 38 consecutive games held by Real Sociedad.

In the other two more important matches of this round, Barcelona and Real Madrid, who also chose to stay in the Champions League knockout stage, strengthened their positions in the standings after defeating their respective opponents with scores of 1-0 and 2-0 respectively.

…………

At 8:45 p.m. on April 2, Spanish time, the first leg of the Champions League 1/4 finals, Barcelona's home match against Atletico Madrid officially began.

Although Barcelona had a slight advantage in terms of overall strength and the game was still played on their home turf, they did not press heavily after the start of the game, but tried to draw Atletico Madrid's overall formation forward through the constant passing of players in the central midfield, and then waited for opportunities to launch a quick attack.

However, Atletico Madrid, who are good at counter-attacking tactics, did not move the overall formation forward as Barcelona wanted, but only left Feng Quan and Diego Costa in the front court to constantly interfere with the opponent's pass, and the rest of the players all retreated to their own half to defend.

Although the two teams attacked and defended each other, the attacking force invested by both sides was very limited, and until the halfway point of the first half, neither side could complete a real threat on goal.

At this time, Barcelona coach Martino finally couldn't hold back, after all, this game was played at their home stadium, and if they couldn't win a victory, their own team would be very passive when they arrived at the opponent's home stadium.

In order to break the deadlock on the pitch as soon as possible, Martino conveyed instructions to the players on the pitch: speed up the pace of the game and move the overall formation forward.

Although moving forward in formation will bring the disadvantages of increased space in the backfield, if you want to spread the steel defense of Atletico Madrid, it is obviously not possible to rely on Messi and Neymar alone in the front court.

Therefore, even if the opponent has Feng Quan, a counterattack weapon that can be called a "nuclear weapon", Martino has to make a risky choice.

As Barcelona's attacking tempo increased and the overall formation moved forward, the pressure on Atletico Madrid's defense increased dramatically.

In the 29th minute of the first half, Messi won the ball on the left side of the front field and first got rid of Alda Turan's mark with a continuous change of direction, and then played a delicate combination with Iniesta and Neymar before dribbling to the front of the Atletico Madrid penalty area slightly to the right.

In the face of Miranda's ferocious block, Messi hit the goal with the inside of his left foot after continuously swinging the ball horizontally to dodge the shooting angle, and then hit the goal with the inside of his left foot.

Then, just as the more than 80,000 fans at the Camp Nou were ready to start celebrating the team's breaking the deadlock, goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois swooped sideways like a god soldier to block the ball.

Immediately, there was a sigh of disappointment from the stands, and then tens of thousands of home fans gave Messi's wonderful shot a huge applause.

Despite the team's tight defence, Diego Simeone still didn't let the striker duo of Feng Quan and Diego Costa retreat to their own half to participate in the defense.

Simeone did this, on the one hand, because he was very confident in the team's defense, and on the other hand, the two of them stayed in the front court not only to improve the team's counterattack power, but also under the control of the two of them, the two full-backs of the Barcelona team did not dare to press the assist at the same time, and even if they pressed too forward. After all, once Atletico Madrid launches a quick counter-attack, it will take at least two or three defenders to interfere with the wind to have the potential to limit his dribbling breakthrough.

Although Barcelona's attacking group in the front court created many good chances for shooting in a row with their agile movement and fast-paced passing and cutting coordination, Godin, Miranda and others did not hesitate to risk the heroic "blocking eye" of being hit head-on by the football, and the goalkeeper Courtois made a god-like save, still barely maintained the balance of the score.

Despite the dangers at the back, there was not the slightest hint of negativity on the faces of the players. After all, as a team that is good at defending against counter-attacks, it has long been accustomed to such a situation.

Not only that, but the continuous destruction of the opponent's extremely threatening attacks only made their morale rise more and more, and the excitement gradually appeared on their faces.

The Barcelona players, who had the advantage on the field but could not break the deadlock on the field, gradually became impatient. In addition, because the brains of the Barcelona midfield, Xavi and Iniesta, are both old and old, the continuous fast-paced attack and defense, coupled with the impatience of the long-term attack, have also exacerbated their physical consumption to a certain extent.

As a result, as the first half approached 40 minutes, Barcelona's ability to control the game dropped a few points as Xavi and Andres Iniesta's fitness declined. At the same time, due to the influence of impatience, passing errors between Barcelona players also occur from time to time.

Under the elimination of the other's strengths, Atletico Madrid, which was originally in a "passive beating" situation, gradually stabilized the situation and took advantage of the opponent's passing and receiving errors to launch a quick counterattack.

In the 43rd minute of the first half, after receiving a pass from Messi in the middle of the front, Iniesta was originally going to transfer the ball to the feet of Neymar near the corner of the large penalty area on the left. However, due to the small passing power, Gabi, the back who was judged to be accurate, was directly broken.

Although Iniesta immediately counter-attacked Neymar after conceding the goal, Gabi still stepped forward and sent a long pass over the top.

Although Barcelona's defensive gate Pique had the advantage of height, Diego Costa used his speed and bounce to beat Pique and rub the football in the direction of the opponent's penalty area.

At the same time, Feng Quan, who was ambushed on the left side of the front court before, accelerated in an instant, and rushed towards the direction of the football landing point like lightning.

Although Mascherano, who has been buried behind Pique to take on the role of helping to protect the defense, is closer than Feng Quan, the huge disadvantage in speed still makes him unable to complete the clearance before Feng Quan gets the ball.

At the same time, thousands of Atletico Madrid supporters from all over Madrid couldn't wait to jump from their seats, because they knew very well that such a good opportunity could not be wasted.

Sure enough, in the face of Valdés, who abandoned the goal, Feng Quan first shook the opponent's center of gravity with a gesture, and then easily pushed the football into the unguarded gate after his left foot buckled past the opponent......
