Football Temple, Santiago - Bernabeu.

On the night of March 11, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium was brightly lit and the stadium was illuminated as if it were day.

When the players of Real Madrid and Liverpool walked into the stadium, the biggest attraction expected by the outside world: Qin Xiong's return to the Bernabeu.

It didn't create much of a commotion.

The Real Madrid fans in the stands showed relatively rational and restrained emotions.

There is no frenzy to reminisce about the past, nor is there a targeted boo that slams Qin Xiong's return as an opponent.

This is precisely the difference between Real Madrid fans.

They love the club and want to see a high level of play.

For them, it's more open-minded.

I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life.

What leaves is what leaves, and as long as it is not a player who joins a sworn enemy, then everything can be accepted naturally.

Moreover, they now also have players who are considered the best, such as Cristiano Ronaldo, such as Kaka.

Such an atmosphere made Qin Xiong even happier.

He doesn't think that there is a grudge between him and Real Madrid, it's just that the fate of getting together and not getting together is over.

Real Madrid president Florentino sat in the box and waited for the match to start.

His expression was more solemn, and he couldn't relax at all.

When Liverpool came to the Bernabeu with a 5-3 lead, and when Real Madrid were expecting a miracle, Florentino could not be optimistic, because as a leader, he must first think about how to deal with the defeat.

Real Madrid's hierarchy naturally wondered what would happen to the team if they were eliminated by Liverpool at the Bernabeu.

First and foremost: who to look for as a scapegoat!

For the journey of the second generation of the Galaxy Battleship, if it can't soar into the sky. How to move forward in a difficult world is a topic that cannot be avoided at all, and no matter how difficult the problem is, it must be solved.

Now, Florentino is like a person in power waiting for the judgment of fate, and can only see how the wheels of reality have taken before making new decisions.

At all costs. It was a star-studded tournament that was followed by countless fans around the world.

The majestic Champions League theme song echoed through the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, signaling the start of the game.

"Welcome to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, where the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will begin, La Liga giants Real Madrid host the Premier League leaders Liverpool, and in the first leg at Anfield, Real Madrid lost 3-5 away to Liverpool, and they need to win at least two goals at home today to hope for a comeback.

The good news is that both teams are well-organized. There is no shortage of soldiers and major generals, which makes the coaches of the two teams not fall into the dilemma of being overstretched in the arrangement.

It is worth mentioning that Qin Xiong, a superstar who transferred from Real Madrid to Liverpool before the season, returned to the Bernabeu after a lapse of 9 months, where he has won many honors and championships for Real Madrid, and today he is back here as an opponent, I don't know how he will perform.

But Qin Xiong, who was nicknamed the 'Lord Killer Maniac' by Fleet Street, must be the number one enemy who must be placed first in Real Madrid's defense. Otherwise, Real Madrid will regret it.

Okay, let's take a look at the starting line-ups for both sides.

Real Madrid started 433.

Goalkeeper: Casillas.

Defender: Ramos. Pepe, Albiol, Arbeloa.

Midfielders: Las Diarra, Guti, Kaka.

Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema. Higuain.

Real Madrid clearly stepped up their attack today, they had to score at the Bernabeu, and more than one, so it is no surprise that Pellegrini stepped up his attack.

Liverpool started today with 442.

Goalkeeper: Reina.

Defenders: Johnson, Carragher. Skrtel, Aurelio.

Midfielders: Lucas, Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard.

Forwards: Torres, Qin Xiong.

In fact, Liverpool's lineup is more like a 4312.

Lucas, Mascherano and Alonso play in a back three, Gerrard plays in central midfield, Qin Xiong and Torres play in a double striker.

Koeman removed Kuyt today and brought on defensive midfielder Lucas, and it seems that Koeman is also afraid of playing at the Bernabeu, and he is afraid of Real Madrid's attack, so he has further strengthened the midfield defense.

The game starts right away, so let's see who will advance to the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League between Real Madrid and Liverpool after 90 minutes! ”

When Manuel Pellegrini saw Liverpool's starting line-up, he frowned.

Liverpool can be desperate to play Real Madrid at Anfield.

But when he came to the Bernabeu, he obviously put on a posture of defending and counterattacking!

This is naturally not good for Real Madrid.

Because Real Madrid first of all the situation requires them to attack, to attack!

And in the Bernabeu, Real Madrid is like a chicken, and there is only attack in its eyes!

Under multiple factors, Real Madrid is most afraid of opponents playing defense.

Manuel Pellegrini couldn't imagine the terrifying power that Liverpool could have when they counter-attacked.

He couldn't think of it, because Liverpool had hardly played like this before!

Now, in order to advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Liverpool have cleverly chosen to defend and counter-attack on the road.

The game got underway, with Real Madrid playing at the Bernabeu, picking up the tempo from the start to push the attack into Liverpool's dangerous zone and threaten the attack.

In the 2nd minute, Cristiano Ronaldo received Kaka's pass on the left side and rushed forward with the ball.

He also wants to crush Glen Johnson, but Liverpool has added a defensive midfielder today, and the space compression work at the back is more in place, Johnson will have Lucas as a helper next to him, so Johnson will not panic too much first, and secondly, the space before Ronaldo cross-cutting the penalty area will be greatly reduced.

Sure enough, Cristiano Ronaldo dribbled the ball into a dead end, and he had to pass the ball back to Arbeloa in the back, and then Real Madrid made offensive adjustments.

Kaka wanted to play in the middle of the pitch, but after half-time, his space was limited.

In the end, he had to pass the ball back to Guti.

If it weren't for Gago's hard work, veteran Guti probably wouldn't be in the starting lineup.

This time, Guti sent a diagonal kick.

He tried to create a chance for Higuain, but the ball was cut off by Skrtel in a tackle.

Real Madrid's positional battle was met with great resistance from the start of the game. (To be continued.) )
