After the Champions League, he returned to the domestic league.

On April 8, in the 32nd round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Valencia.

Valencia have played well this season and are currently in third place, behind Real Madrid and Barcelona.

However, facing Real Madrid led by Lu Wenbin at the Bernabeu Stadium, Valencia was scored a full four goals in the end, although Valencia played a defensive counterattack, and Valencia himself only scored a face-saving goal in the second half.

Lu Wenbin scored twice, Real Madrid beat Valencia 4-1 at home, and has achieved a 36-game unbeaten record across the season, and the points have reached 90 points.

With six league games remaining in the season, Real Madrid are almost certain to break 100 points, which is another new La Liga record.

On April 11, in the 33rd round of La Liga, Real Madrid visited Calderón and ushered in the Madrid derby with Atletico Madrid.

This local derby was full of gunpowder.

Seeing Real Madrid in such a beautiful way, Atletico Madrid is naturally very unhappy. There is a chance of direct confrontation, and Atletico Madrid is naturally very energetic.

Even if they don't win the league title, it's good to interrupt Real Madrid's unbeaten streak.

There were two red cards, five yellow cards and one player from each side injured.

In the end, Real Madrid struggled to bring back a 3-3 draw from Calderón, with all three goals scored by Lu Wenbin, two of which were direct free-kicks.

If it weren't for Lu Wenbin, Real Madrid would really lose this game.

Although the winning streak in all competitions was ended, Real Madrid's unbeaten run in 37 games following the Madrid derby took it to just one short of the 38-game unbeaten run set by Real Sociedad in 1979/1980.

Three days later, in the 34th round of La Liga on April 14, Mourinho did not go all out to catch up with the so-called 38-game unbeaten record, but chose to rotate.

The local derby away at Atletico Madrid drained too much of the energy of the Real Madrid team, and three days later it was the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea, again away.

As a result, this game, which may tie Real Sociedad's 38-game unbeaten record in La Liga, was forced by Mourinho to choose rotation, and even the most reassuring Lu Wenbin did not enter the squad.

Fortunately, Real Madrid's rotation is also much stronger than that of Sporting Gijón at the bottom of the table, not to mention at home at the Bernabeu.

After 90 minutes, the score was 3-1 on the big screen, and Real Madrid still managed to get a home win thanks to their defensive counter-attack.

When the referee blew the whistle for the end of the game, the entire Bernabeu stands burst into thunderous applause, and countless Real Madrid fans applauded and screamed excitedly, celebrating their 38-game unbeaten run in La Liga.

After the game, Real Madrid equalled Real Sociedad's record of 38 games unbeaten in the global media.

The British media, in particular, is quite positive, because the next game, Chelsea's Champions League semi-final opponent, is none other than Real Madrid.

Real Madrid has Chelsea's former coach Jose Mourinho, the world's No. 1 Lu Wenbin, and the former Premier League Golden Boot Cristiano Ronaldo, and has achieved a terrifying record of 38 games unbeaten in La Liga.

With such a terrifying Real Madrid, does the newly appointed assistant coach Di Matteo have a chance to lead the team to defeat the opponent and advance to the Champions League final?

Since the start of the season, Chelsea boss Villas-Boas has been lacklustre and has had few outstanding results.

After losing 3-1 to Napoli in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the Chelsea hierarchy finally lost the last patience and announced on 4 March 2012 that Villas-Boas had been sacked and that assistant coach Roberto Di Matteo would take over the team.

Di Matteo's first test after taking charge was the second leg of the Champions League 1/8 final against Napoli.

As a result, Chelsea staged a comeback under Roberto Di Matteo, turning the game 4-1 at home and progressing to the quarter-finals.

Then he relied on a resolute defensive counterattack to defeat Benfica over two legs to advance to the semi-finals, and now he has met Real Madrid.

This is a more serious test for Di Matteo than for Napoli.

Real Madrid arrived in London a day earlier on 16 April and the players took part in acclimatisation training, while Mourinho took part in the pre-match press conference.

In the face of British journalists and his old club, Mourinho did not save any face, claiming that his faith was victory.

What's more, with Chelsea's mid-season manager change and unstable tactical lineup, Real Madrid will definitely take a win away from Stamford Bridge.

The implication is that Chelsea's new coach Roberto Di Matteo is dismissive.

Mourinho's comments naturally angered the entire Chelsea squad.

Captain John Terry claimed in an interview that while he has a lot of respect for Jose Mourinho, he will lead the team to a defeat at Stamford Bridge to hand Mourinho a heavy defeat to 'welcome' him back to London.

Reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League, it is naturally life and death, everyone wants to enter the final and win the championship, as for the little master-apprentice friendship in the past, no one cares now.

Di Matteo even claimed that he would show Real Madrid what a real defensive counter-attack is.

Mourinho did not refute further.

Di Matteo is an assistant coach to Villas-Boas, who used to be an assistant coach to Jose Mourinho.

It can be said that Di Matteo's defensive counterattack reveals a hint of Mourinho's shadow.

The apprentice's apprentice wants to defeat the master, or is it in the case of the player's inferior strength?

Mourinho was dismissive.

However, it was only when the time came to 20:45 on 17 April, when the first leg of Chelsea's 2011/2012 Champions League semi-final against Real Madrid began at Stamford Bridge that Mourinho saw what Di Matteo was capable of.

Chelsea's starting line-up consisted of goalkeeper Petr Cech, defenders Branislav Ivanovic, John Terry, Gary Cahill and Ashley Cole, midfielders Essien and Mikel, midfielders Bosingwa, Frank Lampard and Juan Mata, and striker Drogba.

Although it is not as valuable as Real Madrid, the central axis from striker Drogba, to forward Frank Lampard, to midfielder Essien, to central defender Terry, and then to goalkeeper Cech, are all world-class stars with extraordinary strength.

After the start of the game, Chelsea retreated across the board, and it was Essien who was expected to be responsible for keeping an eye on Lu Wenbin, but there were also Terry, Lampard, Mikel, Cahill and others next to him.

Essien and John Terry's defensive prowess is recognised for their defensive ability, and Frank Lampard is also a good interceptor in midfield, so it will not be easy for Lu Wenbin to combine any of them.

A 20/20 dribble does not mean that the opponent who defends 18 or 19 will be able to stabilize and break through smoothly, not to mention that the difficulty of breaking through is multiplied by the combination of several opponents.

Moreover, Chelsea's formation has been relatively intact and has not caused confusion because of Lu Wenbin's breakthrough.

Even with Lu Wenbin's pass and assist, it will be difficult to get a chance with Chelsea shrinking their defence.

What's more, in front of Chelsea's goal, there is still Cech, a world-class goalkeeper.
