Atletico Madrid's knockout of Barcelona to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League was the biggest sporting news of the second day, and it was the only group to beat the Champions League quarter-finals this season.

In the eyes of the European media, Atletico Madrid's strength is definitely not as good as Barcelona's.

"Knocking out Barcelona at home, the Sheets Army enter the Champions League semifinals again after 40 years"

"The Sheets go one step further, reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League for the fourth time in team history"

"Barcelona is out, missing the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in seven years"

"Europe's most demon team, the only team to remain unbeaten in the Champions League"

"Martino's incompetence or the lack of glory desire of the players, the end of Barcelona's cycle"

"Diego Simeone, the rise of another Argentine coach"

In short, early the next morning, the European media was full of news about Atletico Madrid's promotion and Barcelona's exit.

This is the first time in 40 years that Atletico Madrid have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League since the 73/74 season.

This time it is the fourth time in the history of Atletico Madrid that they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid's elimination of Barcelona also ended the opponent's record of consecutive Champions League semi-finals. Barcelona have not missed the semi-finals of the Champions League for six consecutive seasons from 07/08 until last season, the best result since the Champions League was restructured, and have now been ended by Atletico Madrid.

Prior to this round, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were the only two unbeaten teams in the Champions League, but Real Madrid lost 0-2 away to the Hornets, so Atletico became the only team in Europe to remain unbeaten in the Champions League this season.

Barcelona lost, naturally people have to take the blame, and coach Martino is of course the first choice.

Bringing Atletico Madrid to the semi-finals of the Champions League, while occupying the top spot in La Liga, Simeone's coaching ability has also been affirmed a lot.

Simeone has now become the second Argentine manager to lead the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League, the first being Cooper.

Cooper led Valencia to the Champions League final in the 99/00 and 00/01 seasons, but unfortunately lost to Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, who were strong at the time, and later went to Inter Milan and led Inter Milan to a Champions League semi-final.

In fact, Simeone can get such affirmation, mainly by comparison.

Martino, who is also an Argentine, led giants like Barcelona to the Champions League semifinals, and Simeone led Atletico Madrid to do it, and naturally received countless praises.

Atletico Madrid's elimination of Barcelona made many Real Madrid fans quite happy.

Real Madrid legends Figo and Guti both tweeted successively, congratulating Atletico Madrid on their promotion and mocking Barcelona at the same time.

In the match against Atletico Madrid, Bayern defeated Manchester United 3-1 at home and eliminated them 4-2 on aggregate to advance.

Four teams in the semi-finals of this season's Champions League, Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea.

The four teams came out, and naturally the draw was indispensable, as well as various analyses from the media.

The four teams in the Champions League semi-finals are generally considered to be one level higher than Bayern and Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid and Chelsea are weaker.

Moreover, Atletico Madrid is also considered one of the most shabby teams in the final four.

In terms of players, Bayern Munich was the champion of the Champions League last season, Chelsea was the champion of the Champions League of the previous season, and Real Madrid reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in the previous three seasons.

And what about Atletico?

Atletico Madrid are basically a bunch of newcomers, with only Ringer and Thiago having experience in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Ringer was with Bayern Munich last season, while Thiago was with Chelsea in the 04/05 season.

In such a comparison, Atletico Madrid is indeed shabby.

And in another comparison, Atletico is more shabby.

In the comparison of the managers of the top four teams, the managers of the other three companies, Real Madrid's Carlo Ancelotti, Bayern's Pep Guardiola, and Chelsea's Jose Mourinho, all three of them are Champions League champions who have led the team to win the Champions League twice.

What about Simeone?

Simeone's best win so far is a League Cup title.

This is really shabby compared with the famous coach who holds two Champions League trophies and has equal honors.

After the Champions League quarter-finals, the semi-final draw will soon begin.

Before the draw began, the European media speculated about what might happen to the semi-final draw.

European media believe that the most perfect way to draw lots is for Real Madrid to play Chelsea and Atletico Madrid to play Bayern.

In this way, first, the strongest Real Madrid Bayern can avoid it, wait until the Champions League final to meet again, and give everyone a beautiful Champions League final.

Second, there can also be Mourinho's return to his old club, return to the Bernabeu again, Ringer return to the Allianz Arena, and meet Bayern's old teammates again.

The grievances and hatred between Mourinho and Real Madrid in the dressing room at the beginning, even now, there are still media people who come up with things from time to time, which is indeed a major attraction.

After leaving Bayern, Ringer went up like a rocket and became a super striker in Europe second only to Ronaldo and Messi, so his return to his old club is also a major attraction.

Another interesting signing is Real Madrid's encounter with Atletico Madrid, Bayern's encounter with Chelsea, which can also be avoided by strong teams, and there can also be Madrid city derby, Guardiola's rematch against Mourinho.

Ringer was also taken aback when he saw this view.

Because according to the media, if this kind of lottery result appears, it will really be a lot of highlights, UEFA won't really come like this, right?

At noon on April 11, Ringer and the whole Atletico Madrid team watched the semi-final draw together, and invited Figo to be a guest.

In this way, Ringer watched Figo draw Real Madrid first, Chelsea in the second, Atletico Madrid in the third, and Bayern in the fourth.

According to the rules, Real Madrid played Chelsea first and then away, and Atletico Madrid played Bayern first and then away.

Ringer rubbed his hair, feeling a little overwhelmed.

Shouldn't it be Real Madrid playing Bayern and Atletico Madrid playing Chelsea?

Ringer thought that this might be the change he had brought about.

In short, no matter what, this time I'm going to play the Cosmos team again.

Ringer took out his mobile phone and posted a Weibo: "I play the Universe team every year, and my luck is really good." ”

Soon, a bunch of people eating melons came to watch.

"Boss, your signing is too bad, isn't it?"

"AC Milan in the round of 16, Barcelona in the quarterfinals, Bayern in the quarterfinals, your club has definitely offended UEFA."

"Come on, Lord Ball Fairy, anyway, you have experience in eliminating the Universe team, continue to work hard this time."

"Boss, it's time to prove your true strength."

The results of the draw for the semi-finals of the Champions League came out, and the major European media had different opinions.

As soon as Atletico president Cerezo returned to Madrid, he was surrounded by Atletico fans.

The fans are here to protest.

Cerezo has done a good job since becoming president of Atletico Madrid, at least finding Simeone to coach the team, which is his huge credit.

So the fans are still very supportive of this president, and this time the fans protested that he should not go to the Champions League draw in the future.

Atletico Madrid finally managed to play a stunning result in the Champions League this season, and what did Cerezo go to the three knockout draws?

The top 16 were drawn to the second place in the group, AC Milan, the former Cosmos team Barcelona was drawn to the quarterfinals, and now the semifinals are drawn to the current Cosmos team Bayern Munich.

Atletico Madrid fans think that Cerezo is a person who has no lottery luck and will not go to the draw again next time. Anyway, this kind of draw, as long as someone at the top of the club is present, no matter who it is.

The result of such a draw, according to the European media, Real Madrid and Bayern will meet in the Champions League final is basically stable.

Real Madrid and Bayern are obviously stronger, and the latest odds offered by European Spinach are 2.5 to 1, Real Madrid 1 to 3, Chelsea 1 to 7.5, and Atletico Madrid 1 to 8.
