In the early morning of April 3, Beijing time, on the evening of April 2, local time in Munich, the quarterfinals of the Champions League were fully launched, and Bayern Munich was the first to appear, and they faced Juventus at home. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info kick-off at the same time on the same day was also Porto's home match against Barcelona.

Although the Dortmund media gave Juventus advice before the game, it did not make any difference.

Bayern Munich comfortably beat Juventus 2-0 on their home turf.

Just one minute into the game, Alaba opened the scoring for Bayern Munich. The goal completely disrupted Juventus' plans.

However, Bayern Munich did not pay the price for the victory, and in the 16th minute, Toni Kroos was injured and could not continue the game and was substituted early. As the heart of Bayern Munich's midfield this season, Kroos' injury may affect Bayern Munich's performance in the league and Champions League in the future, which is a bit worrying.

At the other stadium, Porto suffered a 2-1 defeat at their home stadium to Barcelona and they didn't cause much trouble for Barcelona, with two away goals giving Barcelona a big boost to their hopes of qualifying. In the second leg, back at Barcelona's home stadium, it was almost impossible for Porto to turn the tables around.

This day's game, as a Chinese fan, is not very concerned, in addition to the existing fan base of the three teams of Barcelona, Juventus and Bayern Munich, more people are still waiting for tomorrow's game.

Tomorrow, Borussia Dortmund will travel to Atletico Madrid!

In the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, the highest level Chinese derby will be staged!

As for the other match between Real Madrid and Galatasaray, no one pays much attention to it, I am afraid that even domestic Real Madrid fans, many people will choose to watch the live broadcast of Atletico Madrid vs Dortmund, and pay attention to the score of the Real Madrid game through other channels, such as the Internet.

Moreover, the domestic CCTV also chose to put the matches between Dortmund and Atletico Madrid on the free sports channel, while Real Madrid and Galatasaray put it on the paid Fengyun football channel. Through this arrangement, it can be seen which game is the most popular in China.

There is still a day left before the start of the race, but there have been many reports about this match in the media.

The whole Dortmund team arrived in Madrid, the players of both sides were interviewed, the coaches of both sides attended the pre-match press conference, and Dortmund conducted field adaptation training......

All kinds of news reports have set off the tense atmosphere of the game little by little.

Sun Pan said in an interview with reporters before the game: "I have already told Zhou Yi that I will not let Dortmund score a goal in this game!"

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Atletico Madrid is very strong, and it is an away game, so realistically, I think it would be good to be able to draw with them away." ”

Sun Pan's arrogance is as always, Zhou Yi's low-key is a little surprising to everyone, Chinese media analysis believes that Zhou Yi may be "saving character" by saying this, taking the initiative to show weakness, letting Atletico Madrid relax their vigilance, and then launch a surprise attack on Atletico Madrid in the game, catching the opponent off guard.

Although foreign media don't know the word "saving character", they also think that Zhou Yi's low-key is a little strange. Generally, when challenging opponents, even if the strength is not good, they will say some beautiful things to strengthen their momentum, and even if the real goal is to draw, then they must do their best to win. Why did Zhou Yi directly say that the goal was a draw?

Based on Zhou Yi's past performance, everyone feels that Dortmund's goal may not be a draw, but just hoping to use such words and deeds to paralyze the opponent.

If Zhou Yi still had time to pay attention to the media reports before the game, he would definitely say that the media were thinking too much.

Fighting for a draw in this game is not a goal he has set, but a goal set by the coaching staff.

It's all the quarter-finals of the Champions League, every opponent here is not easy to deal with, every game is difficult. So you have to be careful and don't take it lightly.

Moreover, with the quality of Atletico Madrid, it will not be easy for Dortmund to beat them away from home. If you want to win, you have to be more committed in attack, and more in attack will lead to a decrease in the number of troops in defense, and when the time comes, it will be finished with a counterattack by Atletico Madrid.

It's not appalling, it's real. Simeone's Atletico Madrid relied on a solid defense and counterattacked with gusto.

Klopp wouldn't take that risk.

Moreover, Atletico Madrid, who is playing at home, is the one who desperately wants to win the game, so Dortmund is on the defensive, waiting for Atletico Madrid to press out, and then fight them to counterattack, there is no need to press out.

A draw away from home is completely acceptable.

On the day of the match, Atletico Madrid's home stadium, Calderón, was packed. For Atletico Madrid fans, reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League is a rare occurrence – the last time they did so was 16 years ago.

In the history of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid have reached the quarter-finals six times, the last time being in the distant 1996-1997 season. At that time, Atletico Madrid was in the same group as the current quarter-final rival Dortmund, and they got 13 points from four wins, one draw and one loss in the group stage, and beat Dortmund on goal difference to become the top of the group.

However, after advancing to the group stage, they were eliminated by Ajax, who were still very strong at the time, 3:4 in the quarterfinals.

Then Atletico Madrid's results had many ups and downs, not to mention the Champions League quarterfinals, it was very good to be able to reach the Champions League, and in the 21st century, they were even relegated.

Atletico Madrid's last Champions League was in the 2009-2010 season, when they finished fourth in La Liga last season and qualified for the Champions League group stage. They were drawn in a group with Atletico Greeks, Chelsea and Porto.

As a result, Atletico Madrid did not win one of the six group games, with three draws and three defeats, only three points, three goals scored and eight goals conceded, just because there was an away goal in the game against Atletico Greek, so they were ranked above Atletico Greek, and participated in the Europa League in the second half of the season as the third in the group.

However, no one expected Atletico Madrid to perform so poorly in the Champions League, and to play in the Europa League was a blessing in disguise.

Atletico Madrid, who were relegated from the Champions League, eliminated Galatasaray on aggregate with an aggregate score of 3:2 in the quarter-finals of the Europa League. In the quarter-finals, they eliminated Sporting Lisbon 2-2 with two away goals to reach the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals, they eliminated Valencia 2-2 by the same two away goals to advance to the semi-finals.

Atletico Madrid defeated Liverpool 1-0 at home in the first leg of the semi-finals, and Liverpool won 1-0 against Atletico Madrid in the 90 minutes of the second leg.

In extra-time, Liverpool took the lead and Benayoun helped his team to make the aggregate score 2-1, and if the score remained until the end, Atletico Madrid would have been eliminated. But in the 102nd minute, Atletico Madrid striker Diego Forlan scored a crucial goal for Atletico Madrid.

Although Atletico Madrid lost 1-2 away to Liverpool in the end, Atletico Madrid had one more away goal than Liverpool thanks to Forlan's goal. So they once again eliminated Liverpool by virtue of away goals and reached the final......

In the Europa League final, Atletico Madrid and Fulham once again dragged the game into extra time, and in extra time, it was Diego Forlan's goal again, which finally helped Atletico Madrid beat Fulham 2-1 and lifted the Europa League.

What was lost in the Champions League was made up for in the Europa League, and Atletico Madrid's championship experience is truly legendary.

After a year, Atletico Madrid once again lifted the championship trophy in the Europa League, this time with the participation of Chinese players - Sun Pan, as the team's main goalkeeper, made a great contribution to the team's ability to win the Europa League.

In this edition of the Europa League, Atletico Madrid won 12 consecutive victories and swept across Europe.

These two Europa League victories have accumulated a lot of European experience for Atletico Madrid, so they can reach the quarter-finals in one go after returning to the Champions League after two years this season.

This is a manifestation of strength, and it is also the reason why Klopp does not dare to take Atletico Madrid lightly in the away face, and Zhou Yi's words have no conspiracy theories in it at all, which is purely respect and importance for Atletico Madrid. (To be continued.) )
