Barcelona boss Martino will want to stay in the Champions League: "Although the hope of winning La Liga is slim, we will find it back in the Champions League. ”

The quarter-final draw was followed by the quarter-final draw of the Champions League, and Barca's opponent was Atletico Madrid.

Martino's words mean to knock out Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and advance to the semi-finals.

Barcelona are pinning their hopes on the Champions League, but Atletico Madrid are determined to win the most important title of the season.

A win over Athletic Bilbao would have given them a round of the title, and Simeone's team had a detailed study of Athletic Bilbao, a rare part of the process.

The coaching staff was so nervous and serious, but the players seemed relaxed.

In Costa's words, "La Liga is just the title, we are aiming for a double!" The most important thing now is to eliminate Barcelona and advance to the semi-finals of the Champions League! ”

Atletico Madrid selectively gave up the Copa del Rey for the La Liga title and lost to Real Madrid in the semifinals of the Copa del Rey, allowing Real Madrid to advance to the final.

Costa's words speak for the hearts of many players who believe that the La Liga title is not too difficult and that only one win is needed to win the La Liga title in the remaining two games.

Then the La Liga title is only a matter of time.

Simeone, however, did not see it that way, and said in a communication with the players: "Although we only need to win one of the remaining two games to win the title, we have to know that the last game is against Barcelona.

If we hadn't won against Athletic Bilbao, Barcelona would have beaten us at Camp Nou.

At that point, it is not known who will win and who will lose.

So we have to win against Athletic Bilbao so that we don't have too many nights.

If we can win the title early, we can choose to give up the last game and lose to Barcelona at the Camp Nou to paralyze the next opponent and prepare for the Champions League. ”

Simeone prepares for the next big game.

The players looked at each other and thought that Simeone had a point, that Barça's strength was unquestionable, and that it was at Camp Nou.

Li Chuanqi also agrees with Simeone's view, and last year Malaga left the suspense until the final round.

The title race at Camp Nou was thrilling and Málaga was close to a lifelong regret.

"I agree with the manager's plan to win Athletic Bilbao, give up the last round and move my energy to the Champions League as soon as possible."

Last year, he stopped in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which hurt Li Chuanqi very much.

Atletico are stronger overall than Mara and he will certainly hope to make up for last year's disappointments this year.

To end the suspense of the La Liga title as soon as possible and shift the focus to the Champions League, Simeone is strategic and ambitious.

From the moment he made the decision to abandon the Copa del Rey, he had already set his sights on La Liga and the Champions League.

It was difficult to make such a decision and it also required the consent of the club's hierarchy.

"We won the Copa del Rey last year and I hope to go one step further this year and win more titles. We don't have the ability to fully develop in all three fronts at the moment, so I think we should focus on the league and the Champions League. ”

This is how Simeone persuaded the club's hierarchy, who eventually agreed to his strategy.

In fact, the biggest challenge facing Atletico now is not the title battle with Athletic Bilbao, but the upcoming quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid want to achieve the great feat of the double, and Barcelona is the first obstacle they encounter.

And it's a powerful roadblock!

Fast forward to April, and the Champions League is ignited.

The quarter-finals between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona are about to take place!

The match between the two teams at the Calderón Stadium attracted more than 500 media outlets, replacing the "Spanish National Derby" as the most media-attracting match this season.

When they meet again in the Champions League this time, what kind of sparks will the two teams have?

Will Barcelona regain face in the Champions League, or will Atletico keep their hot spot in La Liga and advance to the semi-finals strongly?

Can Messi get back to his best, and who is in better shape, he or Li Chuanqi?

The first leg between the two sides will be played at Camp Nou, which will be a tough test for Atletico.

At 8:45 p.m. on April 2, the Camp Nou was crowded with people, and the match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona started on time.

Atletico continue with the strategy they used to win at home to Barcelona last time out – create chaos and make the pitch even more chaotic!

Barça's push was very difficult.

The bout went into a fierce grappling from the start.

Barcelona adjusted their defense against Li Chuanqi, and Mascherano kept a close eye on him.

As soon as he gets the ball, the nearest other player will immediately make a wrap.

In this case, Li Chuanqi transferred the football to other teammates most of the time for the sake of the ball.

Barcelona, who are playing at home, have improved in attack by passing the ball faster.

Simeone responded immediately, giving up high pressing and shrinking the defence.

Taking the initiative to abandon the midfield, Atletico hoarded most of their forces at the back and set up a line of defense.

Fierce battles unfold in the heart of Atletico Madrid.

There were few offensive opportunities, and Li Chuanqi took the initiative to retreat to mark Messi to reduce the team's defensive pressure.

In the 37th minute of the first half, Barcelona finally ushered in the best scoring opportunity, Xavi, Iniesta, and Neymar played a wonderful pass combination, piercing the Atletico Madrid defense.

The reason why there is no Messi here is because Li Chuanqi is standing next to Messi.

Iniesta has a straight shot from outside the box, and Neymar shoots a low shot into the box!

The ball flies towards the bottom left corner of the goal!

Kurdewa, who had made many wonderful saves before, couldn't react and could only watch the football fly into the goal!

1 to 0!

Barcelona at home has a one-goal lead!

The Camp Nou resounded with a tsunami of cheers!

Barcelona ended the first half with a one-goal lead.

After a fifteen-minute break, the players from both sides returned to the field.

To the surprise of reporters and commentators on major TV stations, after the start of the game, Li Chuanqi focused most of his energy on keeping an eye on Messi, as in the second half of the first half.

"Nima, Simone, this is a crime!"

"Lee was really successful in guarding Messi, but is it cost-effective for Atletico to suppress his attacking talent like this?"

"Simeone wants to concede fewer goals away from home and get back home to finish Barcelona?"

"It's a good strategy, but isn't it nice to score away goals?"

Journalists have expressed their opinions.

Barcelona continued to control the situation on the field with its strong passing ability, and frequently put pressure on the Atletico Madrid defense, which made Atletico Madrid fans very uncomfortable, and there were dark clouds in their hearts.

In the nineteenth minute of the second half, Li Chuanqi was like a lightning bolt, sweeping away the dark clouds in the hearts of Atletico Madrid fans.

Godin intercepted Xavi's diagonal pass on the line of the box and quickly shifted the ball to the feet of Felipe on the wing.

Li Chuanqi, who left Messi, who was marked, quickly moved to the vacant seat like a lightning bolt to pick up Felipe.

After receiving Felipe's pass, Li Chuanqi shook off Messi's pressing and advanced at high speed with the ball!

Costa snuggled up to Pique and was ready to catch the ball.

Taking advantage of the change in rhythm, Li Chuanqi broke through Alves and cut into the middle!

"Smack! ……”

With a diagonal pass, Li Chuanqi stepped forward like lightning!

Costa forced his grip on Pique, stretched out his right foot, and rubbed the outside of his instep lightly.

Li Chuanqi stretched out his right foot to control the football, forced a breakthrough through Mascherano with the advantage of speed, and pushed a shot in the penalty area!

The soccer ball flies into the goal from the bottom left corner of the goal!

The ball is in!

One-to-one!

Li Chuanqi helped Atletico equalize strongly! Please keep in mind: Lily, URL mobile version PC version, Lily free fastest update no anti-theft no anti-theft.
