However, Qin Shou's lead in the scorer list has only been maintained for one day, perhaps because he knows that the hope of winning the league championship this season is already very small, at least there is no initiative, so Real Madrid is willing to tilt more resources on Cristiano Ronaldo and help him brush up the data - even if the league championship trophy is taken away by Atletico Madrid in the end, at least we are not inferior to you in the personal honor of the players.

In the next day's game, Real Madrid, which lost the Madrid derby in the last round, faced Sevilla at home, seemingly to vent the frustration of losing the initiative to win the championship.

That wasn't the final score of this game, though. Benzema, Gonzalo Higuain and Marcos Alonso each scored a goal, and Sevilla are also an old powerhouse in La Liga, but unfortunately they met a crazy Real Madrid, and the result was to swallow six bombs away from home, and they were beaten to shame.

Cristiano Ronaldo used a hat-trick to get himself back to the top of the scorers' charts as Real Madrid won the victory, but there was no change in the league standings. With three points, they reached 80 points, still four points behind Atletico Madrid at the top of the table.

Third-placed Barcelona continue to be eyeing Real Madrid with a 2-0 win away at Celta Vigo in this league fixture, the same number of points as Real Madrid, and still close behind on goal difference.

This season, because of the sudden rise of Atletico Madrid, the competition for the league title is particularly fierce, and the league points of the three teams have risen alternately.

However, with only five rounds of the league remaining, the situation is already clear.

The advantage of four points is not huge. But it's definitely not small, especially when there are not many games left, basically as long as Atletico Madrid doesn't make big mistakes in a row, then the championship will definitely not run.

So after winning the match against Rayo Vallecano, the Spanish media began a new round of praise and chant.

"There is no need to say that the biggest favorite to win La Liga this season is no longer in the dark, and the young Atletico Madrid will be in the dark!"

"This is a situation that no one expected at the beginning of the season, but for the two-man turn of Real Madrid and Barcelona, to be honest, we are tired of watching, and the rise of the Sheets Army is just in time!"

"This is the most exciting, exciting and fierce season of La Liga in the past decade! Thanks to Atletico Madrid. Thank you Simeone, thank you Qin, thank you to all the Atletico players, you made this year's league even better! ”

"Being knocked out of the Champions League isn't all bad, at least Atletico can put all their energy into the league!"

"Since the 95/96 season, Atletico Madrid have lost the league title for almost sixteen years! And now, they are determined to regain lost ground and once again launch a final charge towards the league's highest glory! ”

……

The media continued to praise and chant, and Atletico fans were confident that their team would win the league title. After losing qualification for the Champions League semi-finals, the league has become their only expectation and pursuit.

It's just that no one expected that Atletico Madrid, which was advancing at a high speed towards the championship, encountered a strong obstacle in the 34th round of the league.

Forrest Gump said. Life is like eating chocolate, you never know what the next one will taste like.

This sentence makes a lot of sense, such as in this round of La Liga, everyone thinks that the Spaniards, who are currently in the middle and lower reaches of the league, will not be able to stop Atletico Madrid. But they did.

When many people think of Catalonia, they think of one team, and that is Barcelona. And so it is. Barcelona is the benchmark and banner of the city, more than two-thirds of the people in the city are loyal Barcelona fans, and Barcelona has not disappointed the people of the city, they are one of the most important forces in world football.

Under the glittering stars of Barcelona, Espanyol, a team that has also been around for more than 100 years, is not so impressive.

Espanyol have never won the top flight, they have only won four domestic titles that the giants see as chicken ribs, and at their best, they also reached the European stage, not in the Champions Cup, but in the League Cup, and they have won the League Cup twice.

This little achievement can't be compared to Barcelona, where the trophies in the Hall of Honor are almost stacked, but the Spaniard can survive in the shadow of Barcelona, and the Spaniard has his own uniqueness.

They don't have the money and they don't have a wide fan base in the city, but they have a strong will, and they have a tough style of play and they dare to fight, which is why they can survive in La Liga. Especially against Barcelona, this team is even more energetic.

Barcelona is too much of a show, and the Spaniards can only show their faces in the Catalan derby, and they want to do everything they can to beat each other and get more people to know the city, and there is a team called Espanyol.

In La Liga, if Barcelona were to choose an opponent who had the most headaches and was least willing to face, Real Madrid would definitely be in first place, and second, without a doubt, would be the Spaniards.

Although the Catalan derby is not very well-known in European football, it is determined by the position of both sides, which does not mean that the Catalan derby is not fierce.

On the contrary, every time there is a derby, the Spaniards are like crazy, the collective excitement is boundless, running and tackle on the field, often making Barcelona anxious, even if they can win the game in the end, the process is extremely difficult, and maybe a few more injured.

And when Barcelona hates it so much, whenever they face Real Madrid, the Spaniards look like they are embarrassed, and it is very obvious: Come on, come and beat us, we will send you points, we can't beat Barcelona, you work harder, kill them!

Former Barcelona president Joan Laporta once complained: "At the beginning of every season, Real Madrid is ahead of us in the standings, because the next door will always fight us and then give points to the opponent." ”

Barcelona fans are extremely unhappy with this, but the Spaniards, from the coach to the players, are extremely excited, and if the next door is not happy, they are happy.

It stands to reason that the relationship between Espanyol and Madrid is actually very tacit and friendly.

But in this game, the Spaniards did not "release water" to Atletico Madrid. They have a very good player in the squad named Lucas. Vázquez.

Lucas. Vazquez was born in the Real Madrid Castilla academy, but in the big-name Real Madrid, it is obvious that there is no chance of getting on top, so Vazquez, who was born in 91, chose to go on loan to other teams, and only loaned to Espanyol this summer, Vazquez, quickly became the main force in the position of right midfielder.

He is characterized by his speed, fast frequency at his feet, and his ability to pass and shoot and break through. And he's not just able to play as a striker, he's basically able to play in goalkeeper and centre-back.

This is a typical jack-of-all-trades player. Of course, he played better at right midfield.

There is a scorer list for shots, an assist list for passers, and other data such as goalkeeper save success rate and goalkeeper who saves the most penalty kicks are naturally recorded.

And Vázquez was also honored to be on one of the lists, and he came in first.

This list is privately called "making penalty lists" by fans.

In this sense, Vázquez is young, but he is legendary - his style on the pitch is easy to help the team create penalties, which is normal, some players have strong breakthrough ability, and it is not surprising that they are fouled in the penalty area, and it is speechless that sometimes Vazquez does not mean to break through, but his passes tend to hit the opponent's hand, and even more bizarrely, Vazquez is sometimes tackled, just to scare the opponent, but the football will inexplicably hit the opponent's hand.

It's like he has his own aura - the penalty kick will always come to the door inadvertently.

Because of this, Vázquez made a name for himself in La Liga, and fans nicknamed him the "penalty maker".

And in this game, the reason why Atletico Madrid capsized in the gutter was that he had enough of the suffering of this man with his own halo.

Atletico Madrid arrived at the Montjuic Stadium full of confidence, only to be hit hard after just eight minutes. Vazquez cut inside from the wing and made a series of feints, Miranda kicked Vazquez's ankle, and the referee immediately blew for a penalty and showed Miranda a yellow card.

Garcia took the penalty kick and it was in one fell swoop, the score became 1-0, and the home team took the lead.

There was no problem with the penalty, and Miranda's frizz caused the consequences to leave Atletico Madrid speechless, but in the 37th minute of the first half, Vázquez broke through on the wing. He crossed the ball horizontally to the top of the penalty area, and the Portuguese veteran Simon followed up with a kick, judging from the flight trajectory of the football, the ball was actually scorned, and the flying ball hit Godin's body, and the ball refracted into the goal.

Conceding two goals in the first half, this game made the Atletico players feel evil.

And the Espanyol players are also a little confused, they have a good relationship with Real Madrid, and it is not impossible to help slow down Atletico Madrid as much as they can, but, remember the previous four words, do your best!

The Spaniard didn't think they were really Atletico's opponents, but two goals in a row really gave them a feeling that happiness had come too suddenly.

So in the subsequent games, the Espanyol players also came to the end, playing more tough and active, which added great difficulty to Atletico Madrid's subsequent games.

I rushed back to code the word in a hurry, and I didn't have time to eat yet. Brothers and sisters, for the sake of playing football so hard, let's count the votes! 360-degree no dead ends, Thomas rolls all over the ground for all kinds of tickets! (To be continued.) )
