Chapter 122: Bayern Recovering (1st Update)

Messi scored 5 goals in a single game, which not only filled the gap in his personal career, but also rewrote the historical record of the Champions League.

In the history of the Champions League and UEFA Cup (the predecessor of the Europa League) before the restructuring, there were 10 players who scored five goals in a single game; In the history of the Champions League after the restructuring, the most goals scored in a single game is 4.

With today's game coming to an end, the legendary superstars of Van Basten, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Pulschau, Inzaghi and Shevchenko are all second to Messi in the Champions League single-game goal record, and Messi became the first player to score five goals in a single game after the Champions League was restructured.

In the early morning of March 15, Beijing time, the dust settled on the 1/8 finals of this season's Champions League, and 8 teams from 7 countries locked the 1/4 finals, they were Milan in Serie A, Bayern in the Bundesliga, Bayern in the Bundesliga, Chelsea in the English Premier League, Benfica in the Portuguese Super League, Inter Milan in Serie A, Apol in the Cyprus First Division, plus the two giants Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga.

There will be no seeded teams in this draw, and the avoidance principle of the same national league will not be considered, and the matchup and home-and-away order will be determined by random drawing on the spot. This also means that it is entirely possible that the matchup between Real Madrid and Barcelona will be staged in advance in the quarter-finals.

According to UEFA's arrangement, the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League will be played over two legs on March 27 and 28 and April 3 and 4.

The semi-finals will be played on April 17 and 18, April 24 and 25, while the final is scheduled for the Allianz Arena in Munich on Saturday 19 May, when the draw will also be held to determine the home team, and of course, the real home team of the Allianz Arena Bayern Munich has already made it to the top eight and may also reach the final.

This season, the top two teams of La Liga met in the semi-finals of the Champions League, and as a result, Barcelona stepped on the corpse of their national derby opponent to advance to the final. This season, Real Madrid still can't bargain in the head-to-head meeting between the two teams, and have not been able to beat their bitter rivals in the five meetings in the Spanish Super Cup, the league, and the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey, with an overall record of only 2 draws and 3 defeats.

If the two teams meet again, the madman will naturally want to save face in the Champions League. Of course, Real Madrid is currently in the La Liga standings, leading with 70 points, leading Barcelona by double digits, with only 12 rounds left in the league, Barcelona wants to reverse Real Madrid, which only has 1 draw and 2 losses in the first 26 rounds, and the difficulty is self-evident, therefore, after eliminating the opponent in the Copa del Rey, the red and blue team naturally hope to successfully complete the defense of the Champions League in the most important tournament and overwhelm the Galaxy Battleship.

Facing Bayer Leverkusen, Messi scored five goals in a single game for the first time in his life. The flea, who is not yet 25 years old, has written his name in the history of the Champions League.

So far this season, Messi has played in a total of seven Champions League games. On this night, Messi ended a year of home goal drought in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Flea also leads the scorers with 12 goals. This data almost determines that Messi will win the Champions League Golden Boot for the fourth time in a row. In the history of the Champions League, only Gerd Muller has won four Champions League Golden Boots in a row at Bayern.

The data of 12 goals in a single season is already the highest record after the Champions League restructuring. In the 02/03 season and last season, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Messi both scored 12 Champions League goals.

Now Messi has scored 12 goals after the 1/8 finals, and if Barcelona can reach the final, Flea still has 5 Champions League games to play, and he has a good chance of rewriting this Champions League record.

On March 18, in the 26th round of the Bundesliga, Dortmund hosted Werder Bremen, and the defending champions continued to maintain their lead at home thanks to a long-range shot from Grosskreutz.

Both sides played in a 4231 formation, with Dortmund in Weidenfeller in goal, Subotic and Hummels in two central defenders, Piszczek and Schmelzer in two lanes, captain Kyle and Gundogan in a double midfield, while Kuba, Gundogan and Grosskreutz played in attacking midfielders, and Polish striker Lewandowski played as a single striker.

Guan Peng did not play in this game, because Guan Peng felt some pain in his toes before the game, and after the team doctor's examination, Guan Peng needed to take a break for one game.

Bremen also lined up in a 4231 formation, with Militz replacing the injured main goalkeeper Wiese, and Rosenberg coming forward alone.

Dortmund were in full swing after the opening kick-off, and the Nerazzurri broke the deadlock in the eighth minute, with Kuba's cross from the left, Gundogan's volley from the back post, and Grosskreutz's header in front of the goal made it 1-0.

Bayern are in the middle of the second high point of the season, beating Hoffenheim 7-1 and Basel 7-0 respectively in the past week, and Bayern went away to Hertha Berlin to win 6-0 again.

In Bayern's continuous attack wave, the revival of the king Robben has made great contributions, Robben, who has fully returned to his peak form, scored 7 goals in 7 days, and this game is the first hat trick of the season, since joining Bayern, Robben has completed a hat trick in the league every season, which is not even comparable to Gomez.

Arjen Robben had not had a good time before, Bayern continued not to score, he also lost his magic on the right side, and at one point experienced 5 consecutive games with 0 goals + 0 assists, and scored only 1 goal in 9 games.

Last week was a turning point for Arjen Robben's season, with the boss bringing Lahm back to the right to assist Arjen Robben, and Peter Pan was back on the pitch. Robben has scored a brace in the last two games.

This hat-trick was also Robben's first hat-trick of the season, and he also inadvertently set a record, scoring at least one hat-trick in each season since joining Bayern Munich for three seasons, an ability that even the hat-wearing professional Gomez is difficult to match.

After this round, Robben has scored 10 goals in the league, and has also achieved three consecutive league goals double, he scored 16 goals in the first year, and there are currently 8 rounds left in the Bundesliga, according to the current form, Robben has a chance to hit a new high.

And Gomez in the Bayern team also scored again! However, this time he failed to score a hat-trick, and Gomez did not stop this round, he scored a penalty to extend the scoring streak to 3 consecutive games, extending the league goal tally to 22, while the total number of goals scored in the season reached 35, just four goals away from last season's 39, and the transcendence is just around the corner.

And if Gomez can have more penalty privileges, his efficiency will be even more terrifying.

Gomez's goal was also his 35th in all competitions, a statistic behind Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Robin van Persie in major European leagues, but it must be noted that the other three have played more games than Gomez, and they are all absolute top names in the team with all kinds of privileges.
