UEFA was disappointed because the "master-apprentice battle" that had been blown for a long time before the game was not as intense as expected, although Lin Dong was as active and excellent as ever, scoring the only goal of the game.

However, the game was not pretty, even dull, and although Chelsea woke up in the last moments, it was not enough to change the dullness of a normal game.

Of course, Atletico Madrid was happy with the win, not only winning the game, but also not conceding a goal, and in the Champions League, away goals are very important.

"Although we lost this game, this knockout round is not over yet, we still have a chance, and in the next match, my team will not make mistakes," Mourinho said in an interview after the game.

"Mistakes? There were no mistakes in this game? "The meaning of this is obvious, the players don't make mistakes, that is, you, the manager, have made tactical mistakes.

"I'm sorry~~~ It's time for me to catch a plane now," Mourinho said after looking at his watch with a serious face.

Although Mourinho is gone, Simeone has always been there, and the Atletico Madrid coach is naturally happy with this victory, especially the team led by Mourinho.

When Mourinho was still in Real Madrid, Simeone did not lead the team to defeat the madman, which was Simeone's biggest regret this season, but he didn't expect this regret to be made up for in the Champions League.

Of course, happy is happy, but you can't be blind, the knockout round is two games in one round, and Simeone also saw the changes in Chelsea's last moments.

"But this win doesn't mean we're in the final, we have to be more careful because the next game is at Stamford Bridge" Chelsea's home stadium, which is notoriously difficult to play and has set an exaggerated record of four years unbeaten.

"No~~~ It's not the time to be happy, the game is far from over" On the other side, Lin Dong's answer was even more straightforward.

For this just-ended game, Lin Dong is actually very satisfied with his performance, indeed, Chelsea's strong defense has caused him a lot of trouble, but it is precisely because of this that Lin Dong found that he had been improving unconsciously, and Lin Dong also found that even with his current attributes, he didn't seem to have played all of them.

Now, Lin Dong can't help but wonder if he will become a real superman when he breaks through the boundaries of first-class players, reaches the top level and adds attributes.

If Xiao Lori knew Lin Dong's thoughts at this moment, she would definitely jump out and complain that this guy was thinking too much, the biggest gap between first-class players and top players is not in technology, but in mentality.

This kind of example abounds in the football world, it really takes a round of technology, there are many players in the football world who are better than Ronaldo and Messi, but why they can't become Messi and Ronaldo, the main problem is in the mentality.

There is a saying that makes sense, the strength on the outside is not really strong, the strength on the inside is the real strength, there is no doubt that Lin Dong has a strong heart.

With this game over, Atletico's mentality can be relaxed a little later, because Atletico Madrid have already confirmed the title in the league, in this case, the outcome of the next game is not very important.

However, Atletico fans hope that their beloved team can beat the record for the highest league points in La Liga and the record for most goals scored in a La Liga season, as this record currently belongs to Real Madrid.

In the 11-12 season, Real Madrid set a La Liga record of 100 points and a La Liga season with 121 goals.

At the moment, Atletico are very close to these two records, with a total of 93 points from the last 34 league games, and with four league games remaining, Atletico have every chance of breaking that record.

As for the record for most goals scored in a season, it seems even simpler, as Atletico have now scored 117 goals this season, just four away from Real Madrid's 121.

In addition to this, Lin Dong also created a personal season most goals for Atletico Madrid, and the current number of goals scored by Lin Dong has reached an incredible number of 57, but Atletico Madrid fans hope that Lin Dong can break the limit of 5 and advance the number of goals to 6.

According to Lin Dong's goal rate, it is not difficult to score 6, but don't forget that Atletico Madrid has won the championship in advance, in this case, will Simeone still take risks with Lin Dong? Atletico Madrid, in particular, are now in contention for the Champions League final.

In fact, it is not unreasonable to worry about it, just say that in the 35th round of the league, Lin Dong did not play, and he did not even enter the substitute list.

Costa and Adrian López formed the front line of Atletico Madrid's game, and with the arrival of Sosa and Diego in the second half of the season, Adrian López's playing time was further compressed, and the look he had on his previous appearance gradually disappeared.

In this game, for example, Adrian López's performance was a bit miserable, missing many good chances to score, and on one occasion he was facing an empty goal and smashing the ball wide.

Adrian López's performance was miserable, and Costa on the other side did not go well, there was no forest movement in this game, and Costa became the core of Atletico Madrid as he wished.

But this core has frequently missed Atletico Madrid's scoring opportunities, including two excellent chances, two single-handed, the first time because the shot was too straight to send the ball directly to the Valencia goalkeeper.

The second time was a mistake by the Valencia centre-back, and Costa got another one-on-one, this time with a shot that didn't go into the goalkeeper's arms, but didn't send the ball into the back of the net.

Simeone, who couldn't stand it, could only choose to make substitutions, Adrian Lopes was replaced, Raul Garcia came off the bench, and Raul Garcia quickly slapped his face with facts.

Diego sent a cross over the top, Raul Garcia jumped high in the box, looked back at the moon, and the ball went straight into the corner of the goal, and Atletico Madrid finally took the lead.

Valencia were not without chances, but Courtois still performed well in this game, and with a little luck, Valencia never managed to find the back of the net.

After Raul Garcia took the lead, Simeone continued to make substitutions, and Leao came on for the first time in a long time, naturally replacing Costa who had missed many chances.

Although he was very unwilling, his performance was there, and through this game, Costa once again proved the gap between himself and Lin Dong.

After 1-0 in the Champions League in midweek, Atletico also won a 1-0 victory in the league, and the substitution did not allow Atletico to extend their lead, and the score remained 1-0 until the end.
