Real Madrid lost!
And it was a loss at the Bernabeu!
The opponent was Barcelona, and unfortunately, after the Champions League knockout round, Real Madrid, who had fought hard with Arsenal for 90 minutes in midweek and only rotated one player, lost 2-3 to their rivals and narrowed their lead to three points.

Barcelona superstar Leao Messi scored twice to win the best of the match, especially in the final moments.
On the other hand, the old rival Cristiano Ronaldo performed averagely, no attack, no goals, perhaps, dragged down by the Champions League battle, but Barcelona also fought with Juventus for 90 minutes in midweek.
This national derby is still a contest between two goalkeepers, Barcelona goalkeeper Mark Ter Stegen, the same brother in charge of Zhetian, facing Real Madrid, although he conceded two goals, but 12 saves are the most saves he has made in a single La Liga game since joining Barcelona.
It is worth mentioning that the goalkeeper type Ter Stegen completed 22 passes in this game, 8 more than Ronaldo, and deserves to be the senior brother of Zhang Zhetian.
On the opposite side, Real Madrid goalkeeper Kylor Navas was not bad, Barcelona had nine shots on target, and he saved six, all of which came in the second half, almost all of which were must-score chances.
But three goals conceded, causing the team to lose, the lead narrowed, this pot, Navas also back.
It is rumored that after the game, the president of Real Madrid was very dissatisfied with Navas's performance, which strengthened his determination to sell the Costa Rican this summer, and Real Madrid, who are not short of money, will set off a goalkeeper storm in the summer transfer market.
"Mark did a good job, even if he was worse than me." Zhang Zhetian touched his chin and smiled.
opened another piece of information, Zhang Zhetian's eyes narrowed, and the winners of PFA's various awards revealed that he had not won any of them.
PFA today announced four annual awards, starting with the Special Achievement Award, which was won by England legend Kelly Smith.
The 38-year-old Smith, a legend of Arsenal women's football and England, officially announced hanging up her boots this year.
Watford-born Smith played for Arsenal Women three times, winning the Women's Premier League, Women's Champions League, Women's FA Cup, Premier Cup and Women's Community Shield.
Smith remains England's all-time top scorer for the women's team, scoring 46 goals in 117 appearances.
Smith has competed in two Women's World Cups and four Women's European Championships, and also competed with Great Britain at London 2012.
Then there was the PFA Honourable Mention, which was presented to David Beckham, who was still active in football despite announcing that he would hang up his boots in 2013, so the PFA used this award to recognise his contributions.
The PFA Young Player of the Year was voted by Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Delai Alli, who the 21-year-old beat team-mate Harry Kane, Burnley defender Michael Keane, Everton striker Romelu Lukaku, Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, Manchester City midfielder Leroy Sane and the most popular Arsenal goalkeeper in the selection.
Alli has scored 20 goals and provided seven assists in 44 appearances for Tottenham this season, and he was also the winner of last year's PFA Young Player of the Year, and it is fair to say that he is the defending winner of the title this time.
Tottenham Hotspur became the biggest winner in this award, winning five times in six years, of which the last three years were all won by Tottenham players, which shows that Tottenham has a lot of experience in developing young players.
However, Ali's election has been questioned by many football people, on the grounds that no matter the league standings ranking or performance, Ali is a step worse than Zhang Zhetian, and some experts sarcastically said: "PFA is the backyard of Tottenham's home, even if Tottenham is last in the league, they will award this award to Tottenham players." β
The final heavyweight award, PFA Player of the Year, was almost unsurprisingly awarded to Chelsea midfielder N'Golo Kante.
N'Golo Kante's election was largely uncontroversial, and his performances at Chelsea were evident in the fact that Chelsea were able to dominate the top spot for a long time and reach the FA Cup final.
The problem is that the award time is at this juncture, Chelsea only leads Arsenal by 1 point with one more game, although Arsenal has a make-up game next Wednesday, but Chelsea also has a game next Tuesday, if the two sides win, the points situation remains the same, but everyone knows that the initiative to win the championship is no longer on Chelsea's side, as long as the Gunners win the rest of the league, Chelsea also wins, and finally can't win the championship.
This is embarrassing, although the PFA Player of the Year winners do not necessarily come from the league title, but over the years, most of the PFA Player of the Year winners have been members of the league champions, and if Arsenal finally win the title, whether it is Alex Sanchez or Zhang Zhetian, it will slap PFA's face swollen.
For PFA, the only way to make the PFA award fair and equitable is to pray that God will let Arsenal lose one or two games in the remaining league games, but they don't reflect on why they are awarding the award before the league is over.
Zhang Zhetian has no idea about the Player of the Year award, after all, he has only been in the Premier League for less than half a year, but what he is not satisfied with is the young player award.
"Ali? Hehe, don't call you Ali Baba Lao Tzu and your surname on weekends. β
On April 2, Arsenal suddenly changed to a two-back team, not only continued to win in the league, but also went unbeaten in the Champions League and Real Madrid over two legs, and after beating Manchester City again in the FA Cup last weekend, with the world's curiosity about Arsène Wenger's new formation, Arsenal's official website interviewed Wenger about this formation.
Official website: "Why did you change formations?" Would the team have gone further if they had changed their lineup earlier? β
Arsene Wenger: "I like your question, it shows that we're doing a good job, and sometimes, whatever you do, even if you get it right, people say, 'Why didn't you do it earlier!' It's like you're doing something wrong. If you make a mistake in your starting line-up and you make a change at half-time, people will praise you for being a master tactician! Because you adjusted at half-time, they forgot about your mistakes in the formation. So such things should be looked at in two ways. I think the new formation is a way to improve the poor defence in some of the previous games, and on the other hand, to change the situation where we are at a disadvantage against a strong team, so that the players have more confidence and feel that we can play against the big teams. β
Official website: "When playing against Manchester City, there was a sudden change of formation, many people were shocked, the two-back formation has been extinct for a long time, why did you introduce this tactic? β
