In a row of Madrid derbys, the only snickering is probably Barcelona.

Whether it's a Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich or a Copa del Rey semi-final against another semi-final team, Sevilla, it will be a bit of a challenge for them, but Valverde is confident that Messi and Paulinho will be back in the next league game, and Barcelona, who are close to the strongest squad, are still one of the top contenders for the title.

At this stage of the season, the depth of the squad will be a great test for Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, which still have third-tier matches. From this weekend's league to a month later, La Liga officially ended on May 20. Every week is a double tournament of the week. The Copa del Rey and Champions League matches will be played in the middle of each week. Next week will be the league's last double-game week.

Back in La Liga, everyone's eyes are focused on the title race between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, with all parties predicting who will die and which round of suspense will last.

In the 34th and 35th rounds of the league, Atletico Madrid will play home and away against two teams with Real Madwe: Real Sociedad and Real Betis.

Although like Real Madrid, they are all teams canonized by the Spanish royal family, but not every Royal team is very good. Simeone deliberately rotated to give the CG duo a proper break in preparation for the multi-line derby with Real Madrid. Even so, Atletico didn't face much of a challenge with all six points.

After 35 rounds of league play, in the La Liga standings, Atletico Madrid has 89 points from 27 wins and 8 draws, and Barcelona has won more games although it has been dragged back by Atletico Madrid's double kill. Twenty-eight wins, five draws, two losses and 89 points. Valencia are third with 87 points with 28 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. There is also a theoretical hope of competing for the title, but the initiative is not in their own hands, and it is possible to count on Atletico Madrid and Barcelona to make mistakes in a row.

The Madrid media are a little sorry that Atletico Madrid drew too much at the beginning of the season, and it still left sequelae, otherwise with the winning streak that Atletico Madrid began to soar in the middle of the season, Barcelona had no chance at all.

At the same time, Wen Zhihao refreshed his stats to 14 goals and 12 assists, ranking third in the scorer list, while in the assist list, he has opened up the gap with Celta striker Sisto, who has only 10 assists. This season's La Liga assist king is about to be revealed.

Although the assist king will never be as popular as the Golden Boot, it does not prevent the Chinese media from hyping it to the same level of importance as the Golden Boot.

Domestic fans also prefer to listen. No matter how small a mosquito is, it is still meat, and it is better to have something than nothing.

The two-game league format ended on April 22, and two days later, the Champions League semi-finals will be played at Atletico Madrid's home stadium.

Compared with the encounter in the league, the war of words between the media and fans of the two sides has already been in full swing.

In terms of the number of supporters in the media and fans, it is clear that Real Madrid has the advantage, but Atletico Madrid has a better record so far, so it is quite confident. Simeone was asked by a pro-Real Madrid reporter about winning or losing, and he replied directly: "Next time, it's better not to bother me with this kind of idiotic question, in the Bernabeu, the holy land in your heart, we can all get out of the Bernabéu, at our own doorstep, do we need to give Real Madrid any chance?" ”

Simeone's statement in front of the media actually meant to publicly cheer up the players. And everyone in the Real Madrid camp thinks that the team they love is being looked down upon.

Real Madrid captain Sergio Ramos responded strongly on his personal Twitter: "Atletico Madrid is just a fish and shrimp in a ditch after all, and no one is in sight if the league hits a big luck win." Have you forgotten about the two Champions League final defeats? We wouldn't mind letting them experience it again in the semi-finals. ”

The war of words between the two sides was inextricable, and even Wen Zhihao, who usually rarely updates Twitter, immediately hit back at Ramos's remarks.

"Football is not played with the mouth. If you don't accept it, see you on the field! ”

The content is simple and clear, but there is his own very convincing and strong performance, and the words reveal confidence and domineering.

……

Zinedine Zidane learned the lesson of the league defeat at home and changed the formation to a more balanced 4-4-2, with Luka Modric and Kroos partnering in midfield, Gareth Bale playing from left winger to left wing-back, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema up front.

In the dressing room before the game, he told his players: "Listen, this game is going to be won with control, keep the ball at our feet as much as possible. Luca, I've always thought you're the best midfield metronome in the world, play your best and show the fans here who is the real master of the game between you and Wen Zhihao! ”

Luka Modric and Kroos looked at each other, and both knew it was a stressful game.

Simeone's set-up is the complete opposite, the opening call is to take the initiative to put on an offensive stance, and first try to suppress the opponent from the momentum.

The Madrid derby has always been a contradiction, and it is interesting to note that in this match, the roles of spear and shield on both sides seem to be reversed.

Atletico did overwhelm Real Madrid in the opening kick-off with a sea of cheers, with Modric trying to control the pitch by passing the ball to the flanks and widening the pitch. However, Atletico's scramble today is still more or less beyond Zidane's estimate. Even the fullbacks Carvajal and Marcelo on both sides take the ball, and there will be one or two players nearby to form a circle near the sideline, which suddenly puts Real Madrid's ball into a dead end.

Whether it's Marcelo or Carvajal, there's no problem with making big moves to insert assists, but with less at his feet, he has the ability to fight for the ball, and obviously his ability is still not enough. Atletico can launch a counter-attack on the spot in the Real Madrid half after breaking the ball.

In the ninth minute, Felipe's aggressive scramble for Carvajal won Atletico Madrid's successive attacking opportunities, and after the break, Griezmann pulled a cross from the side, and the ball was pushed out of the penalty area by Ramos at the first point and bounced in front of Wen Zhihao's left side.

Wen Zhihao's choice at this moment was beyond everyone's expectations. After spotting Navas's position to the left, Wen Zhihao forced a twist and volleyed with the ball outside the instep.

"Wen Zhihao is probably still looking for a shooting feeling, after all, it has just started...... Ahh

He Wei suddenly saw the most bizarre scene, and was shocked for a while: "Ball...... Entered? ”

Listening to the cheers of the home fans at the scene, He Wei immediately came back to his senses, and then roared frantically: "Ah-in!" Entered! The ball is in! Wen Zhihao's absolute strength is similar to Zidane's former flying immortals, just so unreasonable! Atletico leads 1-0. ”

Domestic fans thought He Wei was too conservative, and Wen Zhihao's goal was more difficult than Zinedine Zidane's 2001-02 Champions League final.

Zidane's goal was a volley in the penalty area, and there was no one around to defend it, so he could shoot calmly, Wen Zhihao's kick was outside the box, the distance was even farther, and there were defenders in front of him.

Moreover, Zidane's shot was to meet the ball with his left foot, and Wen Zhihao also completed a small arc of on-the-spot turning in order to switch to his usual right foot.

There is no doubt that this kick is an upgraded version of Zidane's kick.

Amazing!

Moreover, the initiator of the last time the Flying Immortals were on the sidelines!

Even the well-informed Zidane was stunned.
