Losing three goals in a single game was the biggest defeat for Lee since he started his coaching journey in the summer of 2015, and it also happened in his first two seasons at Torino. After all, the overall strength of the Red Bulls at that time was only second-rate in Europe, and when facing strong opponents like Juventus and Napoli, it was inevitable that they would fall into an all-round disadvantage, and it was understandable that they would be beaten occasionally.

However, after the Torino team grew into a Serie A powerhouse in the 2018-19 season, and then went to the United Kingdom to coach Arsenal, although he could not guarantee that he would not suffer a defeat, but he never lost a game with a difference of more than two goals, but the Allianz Stadium in Munich on April 29 still made the current world No. 1 football coach feel the humiliation that he has not felt for a long time.

At the press conference after the game, Li Mudi, who could not hide his disappointment, took all the responsibility for the first-leg defeat on his head, believing that the players' performance was still within the normal level, but the tactics arranged by the coaches made major mistakes.

As for the reporter's question about whether he is confident of completing the comeback after returning to the Bernabeu, the Real Madrid coach did not make more verbal battles, but said that he would seriously sum up the lessons of this game and strive to find a way to reverse the unfavorable situation.

It's just that judging from the reaction of the vast majority of industry insiders and fans, including the Spanish media, the Galaxy Battleship's Champions League journey this season is basically going to stop in the semi-finals, although many people believe that they can get a win at home, but the difference of three goals is still too big, in the case that Bayern can resolutely put on a defensive counterattack formation, if you want to complete the task of scoring three goals in a row and not conceding a goal, this difficulty is absolutely hellish.

Even with successful cases such as Barcelona's 6-1 comeback of Paris Saint-Germain and Tottenham's 3-0 comeback of AC Milan the year before last (which eventually won on penalties), there seems to be some possibilities. But Bayern is not a nervous knife team like Paris or the Rossoneri, the stability of the Bundesliga hegemony is on the same level as Juventus, and sometimes it is even more terrifying, after all, the old lady still has the ups and downs of 0-3 at home and almost complete the reversal away, while Bayern rarely has a big gap between the performance before and after a round of home and away knockout rounds.

However, even though the prospect is very slim, there are still some determined Melingers who are willing to believe that Real Madrid still have a chance, and they went to the airport to meet the team when they returned to Madrid, expressing their support for the team, but relatively speaking, the criticism still prevailed.

It was in such an atmosphere that Li Mudi once again sacrificed the operation of closed training, blocking all external interference from Valdebebas, which is quite a bit of a retreat.

Four days later, Real Madrid beat visiting Sporting Gijón 5-0 on their home turf to continue to lead the table by three points, and as long as they can beat Deportivo La Coruna in the next round, they can win this season's La Liga title one round earlier. And even if there is an unexpected situation next weekend, there is a final round of home games against relegation team Racing Santander as a guarantee, which to a certain extent can allow Li Mudi not to think about staying in the league and try to break the boat in the Champions League.

This can be seen from the appearance squad released by Real Madrid and UEFA official websites at the same time on May 6, when the Spanish giants put in all the frontcourt players who can play in one go, and everyone knows what this means without much thought.

Sure enough, two hours before the start of the next day's game, Real Madrid's starting lineup was revealed, Li Mudi lined up a 4-2-2-2 attacking formation, Villarivre and Rodrygo partnered as two strikers, Mbappe and Asensio were on the wings, and Ceballos and Valverde formed the midfield.

Immediately after the opening, the home team's three lines were very high, compressing Bayern's defensive formation into an area of about 20 meters in front of the penalty area. However, in order to avoid the opponent's counterattack, they can quickly hit Varane and other defenders, the two central midfielders did not press forward together, but always had one step back to protect, while Asensio came more to the middle to carry out activities, giving up the left wing to Rodrygo, who often retreated, so Real Madrid's position was still more like 4-1-4-1 most of the time.

Just the active assistance of the two full-backs was able to keep their numbers up front from falling too far behind, and with the impact and cover of high striker Villarivre, the home team's tactics immediately became very rich compared to the battle in Munich a week ago.

Although Bayern's dense defense made it extremely difficult for Real Madrid players to get easy space in close proximity to the penalty area, with the strong individual attack ability of the two flanks and the infinite movement of multiple players, they still created three or four threatening attacks in the first 15 minutes of the game, the only regret was that they did not get a goal.

However, compared to Li Mudi, who is still in a three-goal deficit situation, Ribery's pressure at this time is also not small, and the pressure on the defense line is too great, so that the midfielders have also shifted their focus to the defensive end, and after finally grabbing the ball, they are simply unable to launch a quick counterattack, because of the lack of sufficient contact points. And if you choose to pass directly and long, the effect will be very poor, after all, the home team's two central defenders, Varane and Vallejo, are not slow, and it is more than enough to deal with Egerstein alone.

If this continues, it is difficult to say how long Bayern's goal will remain intact, and the slightest mistake or the opponent's world wave will change the score. While a single goal conceded won't turn the tide of promotion, it can give Real Madrid players more confidence to continue their siege tactics, so it's hard to say when the second or even third goal will come.

So the "Scar Coach" quickly shouted a few times to his disciples on the sidelines, and gestured to signal the away players to push out the formation, and at the same time try to control the ball at their feet as much as possible, reducing the number of attacks organized by Real Madrid.

However, Li Muddy has long been prepared for the opponent's change of moves, Mbappe, Asensio and other attackers who were considered to be the world's top attackers in the past have now turned into crazy interceptors, and they have carried out high pressing at the expense of physical fitness in the front court, forcing Bayern players to continue to speed up the ball, which has led to an increase in errors.

According to the basic theory, Kimmich, Leon Goretzka and Jule are also well-known stars, and they should have a lot of experience in dealing with the opponent's fierce pressing. However, the constant shouts of more than 80,000 Meilinger at the Bernabeu and the aura attribute of suppressing the away team that this legendary stadium itself has still affected the performance of the Bundesliga hegemon, coupled with the partiality of the referee on duty (or UEFA behind him), intentionally or unintentionally, which made the situation on the field quickly return to its previous state, and the adjustment of the away coach became useless.

In the 24th minute, after Mbappe received the ball from Ceballos on the right side, he used his speed advantage to force Bayern left-back veteran Nick Schulz, and then suddenly got up and sent a high-speed cross.

Ceballos then started a corner kick on the right side, and the first drop was grabbed by the Real Madrid player, and Varane, who appeared to be in excellent physical condition after recovering from injury, jumped high at the back post to the top of the goal, and Vallejo, who was ambushed there, completed the header relay and shook his head to push the ball into the bottom corner on the right. Früchtel, who was constantly moving his position, could not do anything at the moment and could only watch as his own goal was about to be broken.

At the critical moment, the French winger Koeman, who was guarding the side post, made a great contribution, he subconsciously raised his right foot to block the attack of the Real Madrid central defender, and then used a very quick second reaction to kick the ball high into the sky before the other players caught up. At such a critical juncture, in order to avoid kicking an own goal or being intercepted by the opponent, it is no wonder that he can serve as the absolute main force of the Bundesliga giants all year round, and indeed has extraordinary ability.

However, the two successive missed goals did not affect the mood of the Real Madrid players too much, and after regaining control of the ball, they continued to launch wave after wave of onslaught towards the Bayern goal as if nothing had happened just now, only to ease for a moment when there was a first wave of physical bottlenecks after 35 minutes.

However, Germany international Früchter continued his excellent form from a week ago, making a number of saves that made the home fans sigh in unison, which further forced Real Madrid's attacking players to opt for more tricky shots, increasing the chances of a shot being off target.

As a result, when the whistle blew at half-time, Real Madrid had 16 shots on goal and six shots on target, but the number of goals still scored was still zero, a result that would undoubtedly make the few who are willing to believe that a miracle will happen.

Fortunately, there are still people who are unwilling to give up, and Li Mudi's disciples adjusted after halftime, and when their physical condition has recovered, they continued their previous offensive plan after the rematch, and led the Bernabeu Stadium, which had begun to be silent, to slowly become boiling again.

In the 48th minute, Asensio shook off a line with a passing feint in the middle and shot directly into the upper right corner of the goal, but unfortunately it was slightly off the ground by less than 10 centimeters.

Three minutes later, Rodrygo crossed diagonally from the left, Villarivre carried the French central defender Pavard in a step inside the penalty area, waiting for the former to run sideways and then pass back, the Brazilian striker did not stop the ball at the top of the penalty area, and directly launched a shot with his right foot that was not fast but had a great arc, but was blocked by Früchtel's flying save against the sky.

But Franck Ribery was clearly no one in vain, replacing Egerstein with the quicker Portuguese striker Jose Gomez before the start of the second half, a super fast horse with a speed and explosiveness of 18 in the FM system who could be pulled wide to wait for a long pass from his team-mates while the team was defending, avoiding the frontal interception of two Real Madrid centre-backs.

In the 53rd minute, Asensio's cross was pushed out, and Goretzka got the ball and immediately sent it to the right side of the field, Gomez first used the impact of the 100-meter athlete version to shake off the returning Aron and Valverde, and then completed a pass to himself three seconds later before Varane rushed to block, and took the opportunity to the ball to the home team's penalty area. It's a pity that he was not calm enough when he shot at the end, and chose a powerful volley under the pressure of Vallejo's supplementary defense, and failed to hit the goal frame, otherwise Bayern, who would have rewritten the aggregate score to 4-0 and had an away goal, could completely lock up the right to advance.

It's just that Real Madrid, who suffered a moment of shock, can't care about whether their goal will be breached, what they need now is to score, score early, score more, otherwise the outcome will not be different. So since almost conceding a goal, the home team's offensive has not slowed down, but has become more frantic than before.

And God seemed to be moved by their indomitable spirit at this moment, and it rained like a needle without warning, and even if it did not affect the game itself too much, it also made the turf a little slippery, which led to the birth of a goal.

In the 62nd minute, Kuchi, who had just replaced Rodrygo, sent a diagonal through ball in front of the penalty area, Villarivre and Pavard ran to the landing point at the same time, and there was suspected physical contact in the process, the Frenchman fell to the ground and subconsciously reached out and grabbed the Real Madrid striker's shirt, causing the latter's sprint to be also disturbed, and received huge boos from the audience.

However, the referee from the Netherlands, Danny Macle, whistled to signal that Villarrivre had fouled first, and awarded a free kick in the penalty area to the away team, which caused extreme dissatisfaction among the Real Madrid players.

And just as he was about to warn about the attitude of the protesting players, he wore a warning from the VAR team on the sidelines in his headset, and temporarily stopped the game to check the replay footage himself. It turned out that Pavard's fall was not due to the opponent's charge, but mainly due to his own slippage, and the Real Madrid striker did not have obvious foul movements.

Penalty kick! Macle's timely reversal of the verdict earned him the applause of more than 80,000 fans of the home team, but it also attracted complaints from Bayern's side. But when Mbappe smashed the ball into the bottom corner on the left side of the net, the fact that the aggregate score became 1-3 was unshakable, and the Galacticos, who had been desperately fighting for more than an hour, finally had a reason to continue their madness.
