Chapter 513: Three battles in a week

This season, Barcelona is not only leading the domestic arena, but also on the international stage.

In the Champions League, they were placed in Group C, with Sporting Lisbon, Shakhtar Donetsk, and Basel in a group, with 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, scoring 18 goals and conceding 8 goals, and topped the group.

In the quarter-finals, they beat Lyon 6-3 over two legs, and in the quarter-finals, they beat Bayern Munich 5-1 over two legs.

And now, they will meet their old rivals Real Madrid again.

The two legs will be played on the evening of April 28 and May 6.

Coincidentally, in the 34th round of La Liga, on the evening of May 2, Real Madrid will face Barcelona at home.

It's another three consecutive national derbys, and they happened in one week. Real Madrid have two home games and one away game.

Real Madrid, of course, value these three games. But since they haven't fallen behind in the league, they have to take care of the league as well.

On April 18, Real Madrid won 2-0 away against Huelva. On 21 April, they won a thrilling 3-2 home win over Getafe. On 25 April, they beat Sevilla 3-1 away.

Real Madrid added nine points and Ricardo added two goals.

The unexpected surprise is that Barcelona have won two and drawn one of the three league games, and the gap between them and Real Madrid has once again narrowed to three points.

For Real Madrid, the situation is very simple.

They only need to win their next three games to reach the Champions League final and level Barcelona on points in the league.

In one week, playing three games in a row against such a strong opponent, and the game is so crucial, is a huge challenge and a huge opportunity for Real Madrid.

Because the schedule is just as difficult for Barcelona.

In response to Barcelona's possession-pressing tactics that have developed this season, Pellegrini has made his players work the ball and defensive counter-attacks in training.

"We're all excited, it's an unprecedented experience to play Barcelona three times in a week and I cherish it. If we can win all three games, the season will be perfect. Kaka said in an interview.

Ricardo said of last season: "Remember last season, we had four kills against Barcelona. This season they have gotten stronger, and they can't do it with 4 kills, but they still have no problem with 3 kills. We're all tired, but I'm sure Barcelona is just as tired. No matter how tired it is, both sides will be 100 per cent motivated in this game. Fans all over the world are in for a treat. ”

Ronaldo is not sure if he will be able to play: "Of course I want to play in such an important game, but I don't say it, everything depends on the manager's arrangement. Needless to say, my season at Barcelona was not a good one, and revenge on them again and again was what I wanted to do. ”

"We want to carry forward the spirit of Juanito," Butragueno stressed, "and the fans will be proud of us if we fight to the end, whether we win or lose." ”

Looking ahead to the three games, Messi said: "I have a lot of respect for Ricardo, his performance this season has been phenomenal, I think he is no worse than Ronaldo at his peak, he is the best player in the world right now, but I still want to challenge him, not in terms of individual performance, but to see who can help the team win." Team honor is more important than everything. ”

'It's always exciting to score against Real Madrid in a game,' said Samuel Eto'o, who played for Real Madrid, 'and it's three times as happy to score three times in a row. ”

Xavi supported his team-mate Lionel Messi: "I think Messi deserves the Ballon d'Or more than Ricardo, he's a real talent, you never guess what he's going to do in the next moment, he's always going to help the team win." After the next three games, I'm sure you'll all agree with me. ”

Enrique warned: "I hope the players should pay attention to the fact that Real Madrid is not a team of Licardo alone, they still have Ronaldo, don't despise Ronaldo because he is old, that will make him suffer; They also have Kaka, and I've always felt that France Football owes Kaka a Ballon d'Or, and his performances in recent seasons have been brilliant and he deserves a Ballon d'Or. ”

The media all over Europe, nay, all over the world, were aroused.

The Times: The Spanish national derby will be staged three times in a week's time. It's a clash of top stars, it's the most gorgeous football encounter.

Milan Sport: Who will be the successor of Ronaldo? The next three Spanish derbies may tell us the answer.

Sports Weekly: It's going to be a feast for world sports, and in the absence of a World Series this year, this is perhaps the pinnacle matchup we can see, and it's three games in one kick.

And who will have the last laugh in these 3 games?

Naturally, the newspaper thinks Real Madrid can make it three wins in a row.

Le Monde Sports believes Barcelona will win at home against Real Madrid and then draw both away games.

Sky Sports predicts that Real Madrid can reach the Champions League final with the corpse of their opponent and draw with their opponents in the league.

The BBC said that all three games will be won by the home team.

With the eyes of the whole world watching, the first meeting between the two teams has arrived.

On the evening of April 28, the Camp Nou was packed. There was a louder noise than usual from the stands, and when the visiting players came out, there were loud boos from the on-site commentators every time they announced the name of a person.

Players with poor psychological quality may have weak legs when they hear such boos.

However, Real Madrid have become accustomed to this kind of formation and have not been affected by it.

Today they lined up 4321 and Pellegrini had to play resolutely on the counter-attack. Goalkeeper Casillas, defenders Heinze, Cannavaro, Pepe and Ramos, midfielder Russ Rash. Diarra, Gago, Harvey. Garcia, double striker Licardo and Kaka, center forward Ronaldo.

Barcelona is still the usual 433 this season, goalkeeper ValdΓ©s, defenders Abidal, Pique, Marcos, Alves, midfielders Yaya Toure, Iniesta, Xavi, and the front three Henry, Eto'o and Messi.

From the very beginning, Barcelona launched an active front-court pressing, and the offensive was like a tide.

It is clear that they want to score as many goals as possible at home and establish an advantage as soon as possible.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, implemented a defensive counter-attacking style of play, and the formation was very tight.

After more than ten minutes of onslaught, Barcelona did not score, and they began to slow down the tempo and firmly control the ball, at one point reaching close to 70% possession.
