Chapter 1025: Real Madrid Leads

Valencia maintained their form very well, first beating Real Madrid 3-1 in the Copa del Rey final at the Calderón Stadium to win the Copa del Rey, and then beating Bayern Munich home and away in the two legs of the Champions League, magically advancing to the 2011-2012 Champions League final with an aggregate score of 7:1.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that the two post-93 youngsters in the Valencia team, Paco and Bernart, performed well, which surprised many fans and the media.

The stable Valencia is mainly represented by the Mesozoic players represented by Elo, David Silva, Godin, Xavi Martinez and a few veterans, but once these Mesozoic players are old, and the old players cannot play their strongest strength due to physical reasons, the Valencian dynasty will quickly collapse.

But with the continued success of the new generation of players such as James Rodriguez, Paco and Bernart, and the continued rise of Jordi Alba, Cesar Azpilicueta and Wang Xiaolei between the new generation and the Mesozoic generation, the Valencian dynasty will not last forever, but at least it can slow down the decline.

As for the 2011-2012 La Liga season, the winner was decided after beating Real Sociedad away in the 33rd round, so Valencia is left with only the Champions League final against Real Madrid at the Allianz Stadium.

Originally, Bayern Munich was preparing to show its ambitions in this season's Champions League, and Robben Robben and Ribery set off a bloody storm in the Champions League, and with the assistance of Muller and Kroos's new generation of main players, it stands to reason that they can at least enter the Champions League final held at their home stadium, but ...... Who would have thought?

Now it lost 4:0 at home, then 3:1 on the road, and the aggregate score was 1:7 humiliatingly, and the hope of winning the Champions League at home was shattered.

Valencia did not relax after winning the Copa del Rey, the league title and qualifying for the Champions League final, and the last five rounds of the league were another wave of five consecutive wins, if you count the previous sixteen consecutive wins, that is a staggering twenty-one consecutive wins, so the league total is 36 wins, one draw and one loss, while the total points reached a staggering 109 points!

So when the final round of the 2011-2012 La Liga season ended, countless media people and fans were particularly surprised, even if they could have guessed the outcome a long time ago.

The league has only 114 points, which means that Valencia have only conceded five points in the whole season.

However, Valencia's surprise defeat to Villarreal was only due to some problems in the initial stages of the start of the second half of the league season.

If...... What if Valencia didn't lose to Villarreal?

That will reach an even more staggering 112 points, which is close to the maximum score.

A week before the Champions League final, almost all of the mainstream European media, with the exception of a few pro-Real Madrid outlets, sided with Valencia as the team that would defend the Champions League title after Chelsea in 2007-2008 and 2008-2009.

Coupled with Elo's well-known title of 'King of the Final' on the rivers and lakes, it is even more certain that Valencia, who successfully reached the Champions League final, will win the trophy again.

In other words, when the time comes, Iello will surpass AC Milan legend Paolo Maldini and become the player who has won the Champions League the most times in the history of the Champions League.

Regarding the media's admiration, Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo swore in an interview with the media: "Everyone believes that Valencia will win the championship, but I don't believe it, our manager doesn't believe it, and our fans don't believe it!" We believe that Real Madrid will beat Valencia at the Allianz Arena to win the club's 10th Champions League trophy! ”

Subsequently, Zhang Linpeng, who quickly squeezed Ramos into the central defender position after moving to Real Madrid, also said in an interview: "Many times the record is often broken by the descendants, Valencia is very strong, and they have shown invincible form throughout the season, but who can guarantee that they can go on forever? No! So we're here to win the championship! ”

It didn't take long for manager Jose Mourinho to confide in his hometown newspaper: "Any team that reaches the final is for the title, even if Valencia wins three times in a row against us this season, Real Madrid will never give in, because this is a great club, and it is matched with top honours, such as ...... European Champion! ”

Real Madrid's players preparing for the Champions League made statements one after another, which was equivalent to throwing a stone on the calm lake, which quickly caused an uproar.

Albiol, who has always liked to stand out, tweeted on his social networks: "I'll tell you a joke, 'Real Madrid said to win the championship in front of the great Valencia?' 'Laughing at me, there is wood? If it's so easy to win the title in front of Valencia, then ask about this season's Copa del Rey final, last season's Copa del Rey final and Champions League final...... Who is the winner? ”

Valencia fans very much agree with Albiol's championship, so they immediately liked and retweeted it.

Undoubtedly, Albiol's remarks caused an even greater sensation.

The two finalists arrived in Munich two days before the tournament and settled in a five-star hotel provided by the organizers.

The Allianz Arena is no stranger to Valencia, having beaten their home team Bayern Munich 4-0 on this pitch half a month ago.

So this season's Champions League final still has a slight advantage for Valencia, but it's not obvious.

However, from the perspective of Valencia's elimination of Bayern to reach the Champions League final, the final venue is more advantageous for Real Madrid.

Because Bayern fans are very unhappy with Valencia beating the team they support to enter the final, many fans started booking tickets after Bayern defeated Barcelona to enter the Champions League semi-finals, but who would have thought that they would be eliminated by Valencia, who was in the limelight?

And it's a humiliating exit, and anyone will be upset with Valencia.

Therefore, Valencia's arrival in Munich continued until the start of the 2011-2012 Champions League final, and was booed by Bayern fans.

Coupled with the cooperation of Real Madrid fans, the atmosphere of the Champions League final was extremely unfavorable for Valencia.

So much so that less than five minutes into the game, Real Madrid took the lead.

At that time, Zhang Linpeng received a long pass from Xavi Alonso on the right side, Jordi Alba reacted a little slowly, was forced into the attacking ribs by Zhang Linpeng, and then caused a defensive panic after a surprise inverted triangle pass, Cristiano Ronaldo turned and volleyed to help Real Madrid open the scoring.
