In addition to Atletico Madrid and Manchester United, the other teams are Juventus vs Bayern Munich, Barcelona vs Liverpool, and Manchester City vs Real Madrid.

As soon as the results of the draw were announced, the Spanish newspaper Marca, the newspaper Le Monde Sport and the German newspaper Bild applauded one after another. The media of both countries predicted that this year's Champions League semi-finals will see the La Liga top three surround Bayern.

Such predictions obviously made the British media lose face, and the British media, including the Guardian and The Sun, began to give advice to the three Premier League teams and expose the shortcomings of the La Liga teams.

Real Madrid and Barcelona have won the Champions League in recent years, and the overall strength of La Liga teams has made the Premier League, which is accustomed to claiming to be the world's number one league, feel that its position is not secure. Chelsea's ascension to the top in 2011-12 was the most brilliant Champions League record in the Premier League in recent years, but five seasons have passed, and the current Champions League title is becoming more and more like the bag of La Liga giants, so the British media will pay special attention to this all-out confrontation between the Premier League team and the top three in La Liga.

If it can perform well, the position of the world's No. 1 league will be stable for the time being, but once it is fully defeated, even if the British media continues to support it with commercial value software, no matter how you look at it, it looks like it can't afford to lose, and hides aside and closes the door to entertain itself.

In fact, it is not only the media in the countries where these eight teams are located that are paying attention to the Champions League draw, but the mainstream media throughout Europe has invested a lot of attention. However, these non-caring third-party media are not satisfied with the results of this lottery.

Why?

It's not exciting enough!

Although they can be regarded as strong dialogues, there is not a single matchup at the level of Mars hitting the earth that really makes people adrenaline-pumping!

The Dutch Telegraph questioned: "Although these four sets of confrontations are all high-level, they are not the heavyweight peak matchups we are expecting." Spanish National Derby, Madrid Derby, Manchester Derby...... UEFA's 'elaborate arrangement' perfectly avoids all the summit showdowns that could come early. ”

UEFA is not trying to whet everyone's appetite, and in order to ensure the quality of the semi-finals and finals, the number of quarter-final highlights should not be too much. It is also necessary to balance the interests of the big clubs, after all, the Champions League is mainly dependent on them.

……

The Champions League quarter-final draw was one of the highlights of the weekend, but it was the media and bookmakers who were more keen on the matter. For the coaches and players of each team, the priority remains to continue the league.

In the 28th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid returned to face Celta at home. The countdown to the final ten rounds of the championship is going to be held, even against mid-to-lower teams, and there is no room for mistakes.

It's not just the head-to-head record that determines the final title between the top teams, but also the results against the middle and lower teams.

In layman's terms, the stronger and more stable the ability to abuse vegetables, the greater the probability of winning the championship in the end. In the same face of middle and lower teams, a mistake may be widened.

Closely related to Atletico Madrid's title rivals are not easy to play in this round, Valencia face Sevilla away and Barcelona travel to Malaga. Although Malaga is deep in the relegation zone, the strong desire to relegate often prompts them to explode more powerful at such times. In the five major leagues, it is not uncommon for relegated teams to beat strong teams in the closing stages of the league. And Barcelona's schedule during this period is much less than that of Atletico Madrid.

Over the weekend, the 28th round of La Liga was in full swing. Barcelona played a day earlier than Atletico. Away to Malaga, Valverde made a big rotation.

According to Barcelona's overall absolute strength advantage, even if the lineup is rotated, there should be no suspense in the face of opponents who have lost two consecutive games before.

Even with Malaga on the bus at home, Barcelona scored early in the 16th minute when Messi got away from three men in the left corridor and crossed for Suarez to flank in the middle.

Málaga, who was scored a goal, did not press the attack at all costs in order to play the opposite attack, but like a frightened bird, it contracted the penalty area more resolutely, and the attack completely relied on set-pieces, and collectively pressed the goal that threatened Barcelona with high and high hits.

No matter how you look at Malaga, it seems that the gap in strength is too big and you have to do it as a last resort. But now Barcelona, lacking the absolute penetration of the ball into the opponent's goal during the Guardiola period, after nearly 70 minutes, Barcelona almost pressed the opponent to the edge of the penalty area, but the second goal was ghostly delayed.

On the football pitch, there is a penalty for squandering chances. With only three set-pieces and two shots on goal, Málaga's only shot on target was a goal for Barcelona. Twenty-two-year-old young centre-back Diego? Gonzalez levelled the scores with a set-piece over Mascherano from a set-piece.

Barcelona was upset, the Madrid media was excited, and Atletico Madrid's chance to reach the top came!

This season, Atletico Madrid have put a lot of fans and media who are neutral between the two Madrid teams with a strong performance to turn their side. And Atletico did not live up to everyone's expectations.

In the game a little later, Atletico Madrid beat Celta Vigo 2-1 at home, Wen Zhihao and Costa exchanged a pass and a shot, and Griezmann had a chance to put the icing on the cake, but was twice denied by the crossbar. On the night of Atletico's ascent to the top, he was destined to miss the goal.

In the other game, Valencia and Sevilla staged a goal shootout, and finally Valencia won 4:3.

After 28 rounds, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are tied on 66 points, and according to La Liga's points rules, the same number of points compares the results of the two sides, followed by goal difference. Atletico Madrid's home and away double defeat of Barcelona is reflected in the fact that they overtook Barcelona in one fell swoop with the same points, and sat on the top spot in the second half of the league for the first time in four years.

However, the Chinese media used the Chinese folk saying "it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to sit on the country" to warn Atletico Madrid not to be careless, and Barcelona, who has occupied the top position for most of the season, is a lesson from the past, and it is the real winner who persists until the end.

Although they are cautious on the surface, Chinese journalists and fans have long been happy in their hearts. The first five-major league championship trophy for Chinese players seems to be not far away. What makes everyone even more proud is that Wen Zhihao's role in this process can be described as a great contribution.

In addition, third-placed Valencia continue to maintain the chase with Atletico Madrid, who are only one point behind, and are third with 65 points. Although the defending champion Real Madrid beat Eibar 4-0, there is already a gap of as many as 11 points from the top three, and there is basically no hope of defending the title.

While the media is paying attention to the championship situation, they can't help but sigh.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, La Liga championship, in the final analysis, is still a game of feng shui in turns.

In the past, the protagonists were only Real Madrid and Barcelona for a long time, and this year, perhaps in the future, there will be one more bookmaker.
