Real Madrid's form is gradually returning to normal, and Manuel Pellegrini has also regained a bit of his managerial nature.

He made two substitutions in a row, Marcelo replaced Heinze to strengthen the attack, and Van der Vaart replaced Gago, still to strengthen the attack.

It's Liverpool who are leading now, but Real Madrid are not without chances.

The current aggregate score is Liverpool 3-2 up, but Real Madrid have already scored one away goal and if they can score another goal, they will also be eliminated from their opponents despite the aggregate scoreline.

So Benitez was very upset by this situation, and after thinking for a long time, he finally made a conservative decision. He replaced the playmaker Xavi with the more defensively capable Lucas. Alonso immediately replaced the captain Gerrard, who had a minor injury, with the energetic teenager Sperin.

After the game, the media agreed that this was Benitez's biggest defeat and the turning point of the game.

Shortly after Gerrard came off the field, Marcelo received a ball from Ricardo and tried to dribble the ball to the baseline, and Sperin naturally followed, but he was easily passed by Marcelo. Marcelo changed his mind, suddenly cut inside and then crossed the ball to Ricardo.

Ricardo faced the football, but it was one of his legs and let the ball slip through. Kaka understood and waited on the route, and as soon as the football arrived, he immediately raised his leg to shoot.

"Kaka Goal!!! His brace helped Real Madrid come back to life! The narrator shouted excitedly.

This goal was really wonderful, and Licardo's omission was amazing, and it was he who suddenly stepped forward and brought Lucas to follow, making Kaka unguarded; And Kaka's shots were also of impeccable quality.

"Real Madrid in the second half was a two-team affair! If they can keep this form all the time, they won't be forced so embarrassed by Liverpool at all! ”

Benitez woke up from a dream and began to direct the team to fight back. But at this time, Real Madrid also retreated from all sides, and in the final 20 minutes of the game, they were united, allowing every attack by Liverpool to be fruitless.

3：3！ With 2 away goals, Real Madrid eliminated Liverpool and advanced to the last 8!

The media has lavished praise on Kaka, believing that he will be a serious contender for the Ballon d'Or.

Kaka laughed and said: "If you are talking about these two goals, then you are completely ignoring the role that Ricardo played in these two goals. I just put the ball in the net and did what I had to do, but Ricardo was the thread and the playmaker. If you're talking about the number of goals scored throughout the season, then well, Ricardo has scored 40 goals in the league and nine in the Champions League, and I don't think anyone deserves the Ballon d'Or more than him. ”

Before moving on to the next stage of the Champions League, Real Madrid began to scramble for points.

In the 27th and 29th rounds of the league, they beat Bilbao, Almeria and Malaga in two away games and one home game in a row, scoring 11 goals and conceding only one.

Unfortunately, Barcelona also won all three games and continued to maintain a five-point gap with Real Madrid.

Ronaldo also seized his chance, scoring a hat-trick against Bilbao to put him back in Pellegrini's sights.

But that doesn't make much difference to his future. Farah has already negotiated personal terms with Manchester United, and although he has not yet signed a formal contract, he is 99 per cent likely to move to the Red Devils on a free transfer at the end of the season.

On the evening of April 8, Real Madrid hosted Chelsea, their opponent in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Real Madrid dealt with their opponents cleanly in the Champions League final last season, and this season Chelsea will undoubtedly want revenge.

Cristiano Ronaldo is back in the starting line-up.

In the 6th minute of the opening game, after Ricardo cut inside with the ball, he suddenly distributed the ball to the right side, and Ramos, who was inserted, took the ball directly to the center of the penalty area.

Before the Chelsea defenders were in shape, Ronaldo easily ran out of the air, shook John Terry and Alex away, and turned and volleyed past Petr Cech unguarded.

Real Madrid got off to a dream start.

Leading Real Madrid played possession and Manuel Pellegrini was content with a 1-0 scoreline.

This season is different from last season, when the team led the league all the way and there was no pressure.

But this season, the team plays the role of a catch-up in the league, and every game has to be 100% committed in order to work hard not to fall behind, and the consumption of physical energy is significantly higher than last season, and the core players Ricardo and Kaka are very tired.

So Manuel Pellegrini slowed down his team so that they didn't lose their energy at the end of the game.

Chelsea have been attacking and Didier Drogba has had a number of chances but none of them have taken them.

However, in the 79th minute, Real Madrid's fitness problems were problematic, and the defense finally showed a flaw.

Ballack sent a brilliant through-ball through the way to tear through Real Madrid's defence, and Malouda's high-speed cross was flanked by Drogba, squeezing his body past the defender and blasting home to level the scores for Chelsea.

The score of 1:1 also remained until the end.

Manuel Pellegrini looked frustrated after the game: "The lads did their best, we didn't play well because everyone was very tired. I didn't make a substitution in time, that's my responsibility, it's not the team's fault. I'm very happy with the lads and really, I'm going to give the players plenty of rest in the next league game and try to win away from Chelsea. ”

On April 11, in the 30th round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Valladolid.

Pellegrini made good on his promise by putting Ricardo, Kaka and others on the bench.

At this point, a choice must be made. Do you choose the league or the Champions League?

Manuel Pellegrini opted for the Champions League.

Any aspiring coach would make such a choice.

But the results were good.

Late in the first half, Raul latched on to Gonzalo Higuain's cross to give Real Madrid the lead.

In the 82nd minute, Guti sent a precise long pass in a quick counterattack, and Robben relied on his speed to shake off Bia and get a single chance. He didn't waste his chance, calmly slotting the ball into the bottom right corner of the net to seal the win for Real Madrid.

Real Madrid didn't fall behind, and Barcelona didn't drop the chain, beating Huelva 2-0 at home to continue to lead the table by five points.

With only 8 rounds left in the league, Real Madrid's chances of counterattacking are actually very small.

Barcelona have been in great form this season, with Xavi, Busquez and Andres Iniesta in a rock-solid midfield triangle and Lionel Messi, Samuel Eto'o and Pedro up front. Especially Messi, who was hailed as the new core, he performed as well as Ricardo two seasons ago.

But this season's Ricardo is different. In the 29 league games he has played, he has scored 43 goals.

In the next eight league games, every goal he scored was making new history.

People are speculating where he will end?
