No. 160: The Champions League group stage is over
"Sixteen yellow cards, four red cards, La Liga thrilling butcher referee!" This was reported in the Spanish newspaper Marca.
Below the report are several pictures, the largest of which is the one in the most important position, the one of Xavi Alonso falling to the ground holding his leg in pain, the referee indifferent, and then the other small photos are of the referee holding up the red card.
It's a stark contrast.
When the referee saw this report and these pictures, he would definitely be so angry that he vomited blood!
"Marca" slammed the referee of the game, criticized the referee of the game completely, and demonized the referee of the game.
In addition to Marca, Spain also had a lot of media coverage of the game, and the focus of the report was on the referee, and everyone didn't care about the outcome of the game. There are reports of how the referee played his cards? How many yellow cards were issued?
At this time, there was no media to say good things to the referee, and the referee did a really amazing job in this game, showing sixteen yellow cards and four red cards, which is simply terrible.
At this time, Spain's "El Monde Sport" reported on the game as follows: "Benitez is unscrupulous and ill-intentioned, and he will be punished heavily!" ”
The Spanish newspaper "Le Monde Sport" focused its report on Benitez, and they excerpted Benitez's words from the post-match press conference:
"It was an unconventional game and I'm not happy with the result. The referee ruined the game, and I really didn't understand what he did in this game? He didn't seem to be controlling the game, but he was intensifying the game, and their penalties were very problematic. I wonder if this guy was sent by some team to play against Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. ”
"World Sports" said that Benitez is obviously framing the Barcelona team, which is simply too hateful and tasteless, in their opinion, Benitez should not say such unsubstantiated words at all, which obviously damages the image and interests of Barcelona, and they call on the Spanish Football Federation to severely punish Benitez.
Barcelona fans also stood up and frantically attacked Benitez, eager to beat Benitez to death with a stick, so that they were happy.
And those media attached to Barcelona also shouted for Barcelona and called on the Spanish Football Federation to severely punish Benitez.
At this time, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid appealed to the Spanish Football Federation at the same time, with questions about the referee of the game.
The Spanish Football Federation reacted immediately, and they announced the establishment of a special investigation team to investigate the matter and investigate the referee.
The referee was also interviewed by media reporters for the first time after the game, and he said: "I did it right, I always follow the referee's rules to make penalties, and I have a clear conscience about this!" Those who slander me are really enough, I will not bow to any evil forces, I am right! ”
This matter is very noisy, and countless people are observing the development of this matter, what will happen in the end?
In this round, Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 at their home stadium, they got three points, while Atletico Madrid did not take a point, this is a game worth six points, Real Madrid won is really funny.
However, after winning this game, Real Madrid still failed to overtake Atletico Madrid, who are still second in the league and Real Madrid are third in the league.
Now Atletico Madrid's points are unchanged, they are still 31 points. Real Madrid, on the other hand, have 30 points, just one point behind Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona won the game, beating Athletic Bilbao 5-1 at home and getting three points, and they are now at 36 points, continuing to top the table, five points ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid and six ahead of Real Madrid.
This situation is not good news for Real Madrid, the difference between them and Barcelona is still relatively large, and the current point difference is already six points, and it is difficult to catch up.
Malaga lost again away from home, while Real Betis kept fourth in the league with a goal on the road, but they are still six points clear of Real Madrid.
After this round of fixtures, Real Madrid will face Ajax in their final Champions League group stage fixture next week, in midweek. Real Madrid will be away from home at the weekend at Valladolid.
There is no much suspense in the group stage of the Champions League by this time, with Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund already qualified, but it is still unclear who will win the group.
Borussia Dortmund and Real Madrid both have a chance to top the group.
In this round, Real Madrid plays Ajax, while Borussia Dortmund plays Manchester City. Both Ajax and Manchester City have already exited the tournament early and have no chances.
But the situation is different between Ajax and Manchester City, who are already dead and have no chances. Ajax was eliminated from the Champions League, but he still has a chance to hit the UEFA Champions League.
Now Ajax will be trying to finish third in several groups so they have a chance to play in the UEFA Europa League.
Ajax are doing well now and if they win this final round, they really have a chance to compete in the UEFA Champions League.
Therefore, this last game is definitely a battle of life and death for the Ajax team, Ajax will not give up lightly, they will definitely attack with all their might, and strive to win Real Madrid away from home and get three points.
And Manchester City has no hope, they will naturally give up this game and focus more on the league.
Manchester City have had a really poor season, and in the group stage of the Champions League, they only managed three draws and picked up three points, which is really astonishing.
Manchester City was favored by many people before the game, they were the runners-up of the Premier League last season, but it was such a team that was abused in the Champions League, which made many people not understand, did not understand what happened to the Manchester City team?
At this time, Manchester City's position as manager Mancini is already very precarious, and now there are many rumors circulating that Mancini will leave this winter break and no longer become the manager of Manchester City. Of course, it has also been said that Mancini will remain in charge until the end of the season.
It is said that Manchester City are now auditioning for managers around the world in preparation for next season.
In the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Real Madrid will naturally not give up, they naturally want to win the first place in this group, so that they will meet easier opponents in the knockout round.
Benitez said before the game that they would definitely win this game and that Ajax would not cause them too much trouble at all.
At this time, the Spanish Football Federation reacted, claiming that there was indeed something wrong with the referee's decision in the match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, and the referee was banned for three months and fined 50,000 euros.
At the same time, the Spanish Football Federation also punished Benitez for his unstoppable remarks, banned him for three games and fined him 50,000 euros.
This punishment is very severe, which makes the fans of the Real Madrid team very dissatisfied, many Real Madrid fans bluntly said that this is a conspiracy of the Spanish Football Federation, they are escorting the Barcelona team to win the league championship, and the Spanish Football Association is suppressing Real Madrid.
This immediately caused an uproar, the Spanish Football Federation was questioned, and the fans of Real Madrid were very angry and almost besieged the Spanish Football Federation building.
During this time, there were a lot of things about the Spanish Football Federation and Real Madrid, and the Real Madrid team was affected by something, especially Real Madrid's head coach Benitez, when he received such a penalty order, Benitez was furious on the spot, and even cursed the Spanish Football Association for being mediocre.
At that time, it was at the training ground, there were a lot of media reporters and fans, and this matter was spread all of a sudden, and the Spanish Football Association lost face.
However, the Spanish Football Federation did not react further, as if they had not noticed the incident and simply ignored it.
At this time, Real Madrid welcomed their last opponents in the group stage of the Champions League, Ajax.
Ajax came out in the squad and they came here to win, the three points are so important for them, they can't afford to lose this game, they have to win.
At this time, Real Madrid has reservations, because Benitez will be suspended in the later La Liga, and he has to think more about the later leagues.
Dongfang Chen did not appear in the eighteen-man squad, today he rested, last weekend, Real Madrid's players did consume too much, it is necessary to rest.
Dongfang Chen sat in the stands to watch this game, and at the beginning of the game, Real Madrid had a great advantage, as if it was very easy to win the game. But Ajax seized two counter-attacking opportunities and twice found the back of the net against Real Madrid.
It was thanks to these two goals that Ajax won on the road and got the three points as they wished. Real Madrid lost the game.
This result was something that many people did not expect, and Benitez did not expect such a result, and Benitez was speechless in the face of such an ending.
In the other game, Manchester City, who gave up early, naturally failed to beat Dortmund, who won 3-0 away and got three points.
That changed in an instant, with Borussia Dortmund coming from behind to overtake Real Madrid and finish top of the group. Real Madrid, on the other hand, dropped the chain at the last minute, lost the game and finished second in the group.
