Volume 6 Chapter 35 One Loss and One Gain

The Madrid derby ended up with a dull draw, which was unexpected by many, but looking back, it was also reasonable.

In the end, Mourinho did not have the courage to have a Mars collision with Atletico Madrid, and he failed to sneak attack.

Carlo Ancelottile continues to maintain this advantage, La Liga title, and Atletico's biggest enemy now is themselves.

Espanyol, Real Betis, Real Sociedad, Málaga and Villarreal are the opponents of Atletico Madrid in the last five rounds, with three home and two away.

Real Madrid are in a similar situation to Atletico Madrid, but they still have an away game against Barcelona, which is the biggest reason why Carlo Ancelotti dared to hold for a draw.

Although Barcelona has fallen behind, their home stadium will never let Real Madrid easily attack, and since Mourinho came to Real Madrid, they have never won at the Camp Nou.

Moreover, the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid is sandwiched between two Champions League semi-finals.

As "Marca" said: Now Atletico Madrid's opponents are the only ones left to win the championship, as long as they don't make mistakes, no one can take away their first title in more than a decade, La Liga!

In La Liga, only the race of the two heroes remains.

On April 18, Atletico Madrid ushered in its first Champions League semi-final in 37 years, the first leg!

They first have to go to the Allianz Arena to challenge Bayern Munich, and Mackin doesn't know much about the Bayern Munich led by Heynckes.

Because both Bayern and the old coach Heynckes are very low-key in the media, pragmatism is the most appropriate label for this old coach, and his style is naturally compatible with Bayern.

When Mackin was at Liverpool, he faced Louis van Gaal's Bayern, but today he faces Bayern at the Allianz Arena, it can be said that it is not a team at all.

Facing this Bayern makes him feel like playing for Chelsea again.

It's not a big bus, but layers of fortification, extremely tight, and then rely on Ribery and Robben to play counterattacks on the flanks, and high striker Gomez as the fulcrum.

It sounds traditional, but it works, Bayern Munich didn't have any entanglement with Atletico Madrid in midfield throughout the game, and their back five didn't easily press too high.

Mackin could have made a good pass, but their front court struggled to get an absolute chance to score at the Allianz Arena, and the final result was disappointing for them, 1-0.

Gomes headed home with a quick counter-attack, but Mack was caught in the mire of Heynckes and failed to score on the road throughout the game.

Before the game, Atletico Madrid players, who were so excited to participate in the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time, walked out of the Allianz Arena in frustration and had to accept their first defeat in the Champions League this season.

The Bundesliga giants live up to their name.

The Times: Atletico Madrid suffered their first defeat of the Champions League season against Allianz, with Mark believing after the game that the referee's decision was too lenient and Bayern's defence looked like wrestling.

"Kicker": The veteran Heynckes locked every inch of space at the back, and then told the new recruit Atletico Madrid with a sharp counterattack that the Champions League is not as simple as you think!

Marca: Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid both suffered defeats in the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Atletico Madrid lost to Bayern Munich away and Real Madrid lost to Chelsea away, and both teams lost in the same way, both were defeated by a sharp counterattack.

As: Mourinho lost to his former disciples, who knew Mourinho all too well, and he couldn't help but smile wryly after the game.

After the first match, the Madrid duo had to devote themselves to the race for the La Liga title, with Atletico Madrid's opponent being Espanyol and Real Madrid's opponent being Barcelona, and the two teams went to Catalonia together.

All the main forces of both sides are exhausted, and no one dares to be careless at this time!

Even if it's the second leg of the Champions League semi-final in three days' time.

In the end, Atletico Madrid won a hard-fought 3-1 away win over Espanyol, and the most amazing thing is that Mourinho finally won his first victory at Camp Nou since coming to Spain, 2-1, away to Barcelona.

Barcelona can be said to have been a leak this season, not only was it eliminated from the Champions League by Atletico Madrid, but now it was stepped on by Real Madrid.

"Oh, oh, oh", Maria said with emotion after the game, "The competition between Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid will not be decided until the last round, there are still three rounds of matches, will there be any accidents?" ”

"The race for the La Liga title this season is too fierce and the two teams have the second leg of the Champions League semi-final in three days' day," Morrison said, "and we have a good chance of witnessing the Madrid derby in the Champions League final"

Wishes are beautiful, reality is always cruel!

In the second leg, Chelsea visited the Bernabeu and started the game first, and it was clear from Mourinho's body movements on the sidelines that he wanted to win very much.

Due to the defeat in the last game, he had to take the initiative to attack in this game, and it did allow Ronaldo to score first.

But they were happy for less than 3 minutes.

From a corner, Terry leaped high and smashed a powerful header past Casillas to not only equalise but also score an away goal.

Then Chelsea's tactics were to keep on the defend.

Jose Mourinho was full of tricks, but his attacking approach was so focused that Ibrahimovic Ronaldo didn't focus on the goal, and they needed to score two goals to knock out Chelsea.

Like Barcelona against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid lost their balance in the end.

Although Mourinho folded his hands on the sidelines and prayed to God that he would be able to reach the Champions League final this season, God clearly did not see him this time.

The final score was 2:2, and Chelsea broke a big upset, eliminating the Galaxy Battleship Real Madrid with a total score of 3:2, and advanced to the final for the third time!

The next day, the media in Madrid almost blew up, Real Madrid did not make it to the final, but still lost to Chelsea, which made the Real Madrid hierarchy, especially Florentino, particularly dissatisfied, overnight, it seemed that Mourinho suffered a Waterloo in Real Madrid, and all the efforts in the past two years have been boiled down: failure!

Major failure! This is Real Madrid.

And those Spanish media who were annoyed by Mourinho's daily arrogance fell into the well without relenting, and jumped out one after another, and the demons danced wildly for a while.

It was in this atmosphere that Atletico Madrid also ushered in the second leg of their Champions League semi-finals.

In this game, Macken's teammates performed much better than at the Allianz Arena, after all, it was their home Calderón, and they were slowly getting used to the feeling of the Champions League.

Before half-time, they finally broke through Bayern Munich's defence with a quick pass down the middle, and Mackin struck a diagonal line at the top of the box and fired a fierce shot.

The ball grazed the turf and bounced into the far corner of the net, and Neuer couldn't do anything about it this time.

This goal made the whole Calderón boil like a volcano, because they equalized the score, and it also greatly boosted the morale of Atletico.

In the second half, Atletico Madrid opened the opening bombardment around Bayern Munich's penalty area, trying to take advantage of the momentum to win Bayern in one fell swoop, but Neuer stood up and saved Bayern Munich.

He held back a high end and let Atletico try to overtake the goal, but it didn't come for a long time.

In the end, the two sides shook hands in regulation time and had to go to extra time, with Carlo Ancelotti and Heynckes playing tricks on the sidelines and failing to change the scoreline again.

1:1, the two sides had to play a brutal penalty shootout.

But compared to Bayern Munich's group of players, Mackqin's teammates were obviously nervous again, Aguero and Sanchez missed penalties one after another, which made Neuer, and then Mackin didn't have time to play, and the game was over.

Yes, they were eliminated by Bayern Munich on penalties and unfortunately did not make it to the final!

When that moment came, there was a sad smell wafting throughout Calderón, they had waited so long, and this time they still failed.

"Get up, get up", Mackin turned into a confidant brother at this time, first to comfort Aguero and Sanchez, who fell to the ground and cried silently, and then to comfort other teammates.

"What's the hurry, we still have more opportunities, we will be stronger next season", he patted his teammates on the shoulders one by one, like a big brother, "don't cry and smile, laugh, laugh ......"

Madrid's two exits in the Champions League have exploded in Spain, and what's more, some media think that these two days are Madrid's disaster days, otherwise why are they so back?

"Sky Sports" La Liga expert Arrios analyzed: Obviously, the fierce competition for the La Liga title has distracted the energy of the Madrid duo, and the common denominator of Chelsea and Bayern is that the defense is excellent, they both used tough and resilient defense to grind the Madrid duo to death, although there is an element of luck in this, but the result of the game is the result of the game, there is no if.

"It's a pity, but my teammates are doing well enough, it's okay, after this moment, we will be stronger in the future, so strong that luck has to be on our side......", Mark Qin said on Instagram after the game.

Because time does not allow them to be too frustrated, there are still three league games waiting for them, and if they don't want to collapse on both fronts, they have to be strong.

In the end, the Champions League exit still irritated Atletico's players somewhat, and they vented all their grievances on their league opponents.

Real Sociedad, Málaga and Villarreal, three wins in a row, they did not give Real Madrid any more chances, and when the final whistle blew in Calderón on May 14, the whole stadium exploded.

"Atletico Madrid! Atletico Madrid! They won the 2011-12 La Liga title, they broke the monopoly of Barcelona, congratulations to Atletico Madrid, congratulations to Marc, he also won the first La Liga title! Maria shouted frantically from the commentary seat.

This season, they finally realized their dream, lost the Champions League, and won the league title!

"Champion, Atletico Madrid is the champion!" Since Poseidon Square is next to it, the whole Atletico Madrid team held a championship parade after the award that night, and the captain of the team, Mark, personally tied a scarf symbolizing the championship to the statue.

At least 100,000 Atletico Madrid fans gathered in the entire square to witness their first league championship trophy in more than a decade, and the joy was indescribable.

It's like something that has been lost for a long time and has been regained!

Moreover, they still have one title to fight for this season, and that is the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona, and with Barcelona's current form, Atletico have a big chance of winning.

"When I first came here two years ago," said Makqin as the bus came to the middle of Poseidon Square, he began to speak for the team, "and I told myself that I was going to bring a championship here"

He took the microphone and looked around, there were Wuyang Wuyang's heads under the car, and he couldn't see anything clearly, although the incandescent lights in the square were very bright and bright.

"This league champion, is the first, but definitely not the last!" , he and Gabi together held the trophy high, "next year, we will harvest every championship that the eye sees"

"Roaring ......", the entire Poseidon Square was boiling.

Everyone shouted in unison, "Every champion belongs to Atletico Madrid!" ”

Mackqin, who is about to be 21 years old, will completely usher in his peak, he has scored 40 goals in the league this season, ranking behind Messi's 50 goals and Ronaldo's 46 goals, but he has used the fewest penalties, only 7, Messi and Ronaldo both have more than 10, especially Messi, a full 14 penalties.

In the Champions League, he scored 12 goals and tied with Lionel Messi for the top scorer, and it is no surprise that no one has been able to surpass them despite having one final to come.

Counting other games, this season's Macqin Ronaldo's goals are close to 60, while Messi has exceeded 70!

Their position is unassailable! , a season in which three superstars co-dominated......
