After the match between Atletico Madrid and Chelsea, fans and media turned their attention to another Champions League semi-final - Real Madrid vs Bayern!

After spending some time at home, Pep Guardiola took over the Bayern coaching whip from Heynckes and introduced the pass-and-control tactics to transform Bayern.

Bayern has already won the Bundesliga title and reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, taking a firm step to defend their title.

Before the game, the media was very optimistic about Bayern, in addition to Bayern's strength, but also because Guardiola was too familiar with Real Madrid.

Bayern coach Pep Guardiola has said that he will carry out the pass-and-control play to the end and use wild attacks to break the Galaxy Battleship.

Most of the European media are still full of confidence in Bayern's promotion, because Real Madrid has a "German curse".

In the past 60 years, Real Madrid have won just two of their last 27 games against Germany, with six draws and 19 defeats in the remaining 25 games. In addition, Bayern lost 0:1 in the first leg of the European knockout round in six times, and won all of them at home, five of which advanced.

The only thing that didn't work against Bayern was the referee, as the referee Proenza, from Portugal, has officiated Bayern three times in the past, and Bayern have won none of them.

On April 24, Real Madrid hosted Bayern Munich.

The journalists were very happy with UEFA's arrangement, so they didn't have to travel too much.

At 8:45 p.m., the game started on time at the Bernabeu.

Pep Guardiola's Bayern were in control of the tempo from the start of the game, with the ball rolling at the feet of the Bayern players.

Carlo Ancelotti's team opted for a penalty area!

A battle of attack and defense unfolded at the Bernabeu.

In the 19th minute of the first half, Real Madrid played a textbook quick defensive counter-attack, and Benzema completed the final blow to penetrate the Bayern goal.

With this goal, Real Madrid won 1-0 at home against the mighty defending champions Bayern!

Although disappointed with the result, Bayern boss Pep Guardiola refused to admit that his team was not as good as Real Madrid, "It was a very difficult game, the result was not as good as it could be, but I am proud of the team's performance, we have a very strong opponent in the palm of our hands, and this is at the Bernabeu Stadium.

You must know that Real Madrid is the most dangerous team in the world to counter-attack, and it is very difficult to control their counter-attack. Of course, we were in control but we were missing a crucial away goal and thankfully we had 90 minutes left. ”

While Pep Guardiola was a light word about the defeat, it was a different voice in Germany.

According to The Kicker, "Bayern were desperate in the face of the efficiency of the Madrid people, and Real Madrid had no difficulty holding on to the win until the end. ”

Le Monde commented, "Bayern are starting to worry about their title defence prospects, and although the team has nearly 70% possession, they have not been able to create any threatening chances. ”

Install the latest version. 】

Beckenbauer, the emperor of football, reacted more violently than the media, saying, 'When the opponent takes the opportunity, the possession is worthless.' We have to think about it and we should really be happy that Real Madrid have only scored one goal. ’

Earlier this season, Beckenbauer criticised Pep Guardiola's change of style of play at Bayern: "I don't want to see Bayern play a lethargic game like Barcelona. ”

Pep Guardiola countered with Beckbauer: "I just like to keep the ball and we did that in the game, we just couldn't take the chances. In fact, after this fight, I'm even more optimistic about qualifying! ”

After losing this game, Bayern's top spot in the Champions League odds this season has been overtaken by Real Madrid for the first time, but Bayern need not worry too much about this.

Previously, Bayern had lost six first legs in the knockout rounds of European competition, 1-0, but won all of them at home, progressing five of them, with the exception of the 1989/1990 Champions League semi-finals.

Real Madrid's record in Germany is 2 wins, 6 draws and 19 losses, including 1 draw and 9 losses against Bayern, and 5 Champions League semi-finals against Bayern 4 times. In the face of the second leg of the life-and-death battle, the "Bundesliga giant" can be full of confidence.

The French team commented: "Yesterday's Bayern were a complete replica of the Barcelona that used to be, showing off their passing skills and link-up throughout the game, and even goalkeeper Noyer occasionally got involved in this game of beating the drum and passing flowers.

On the surface, Real Madrid couldn't touch the ball, with a pitiful 28% possession of the ball.

But when Bayern really hit the last 20 meters in front of the penalty area, whether it was a long-range shot, a 45-degree diagonal pass or a bottom cross to Mandzukic, it was recognized by Real Madrid early and became completely useless.

Such a scene is reminiscent of the Champions League semi-finals between Bayern Munich and Barcelona last year.

At that time, Bayern led by Heynckes, while consolidating the defense, used the textbook side-center combination and rigorous tactical execution ability to completely collapse Barcelona that continued Guardiola's tactics——— 0:4 away and 0:3 at home, setting a new record for the most humiliating team in 114 years.

Obviously, the lessons of Barcelona last year did not arouse Guardiola's alarm enough, perhaps he thinks that he is the genuine version, and the copycat version of the loss is just a lack of skill. However, it turns out that without the best form of the core players, the possession rate is just a paper tiger.

Beckenbauer was a little dismissive of Pep Guardiola's possession-based style of play: 'If we go on like this, we will one day be like Barcelona, with an extremely boring style of play and despairing!' Nobody wants to see you just pass the ball around. ’

What is even more embarrassing is that when the reporter asked Beckenbauer to compare Guardiola with his predecessor Heynckes, Beckenbauer made no secret of his admiration for Heynckes: 'Guardiola has been coaching big clubs since his debut in 2008, and he has succeeded on that basis. Heynckes, on the other hand, has managed a number of clubs and has been successful in all of them. ’

Beckenbauer was angry, the consequences were serious, Guardiola should face up to the tactical problem——— Di Matteo continued to use Mourinho's tactics and led Chelsea to eliminate Barcelona; Heynckes studied Barcelona thoroughly and played possession into 18 layers of hell; Ancelotti is more cunning these days, and it's time for Bayern to make a change! ”

……

Li Chuanqi has been very tired recently, and the competition is too intensive.

There was no big problem with physical recovery, but I was very tired mentally.

After the game against Chelsea, Atletico Madrid have their final La Liga game against Barcelona at the weekend.

Simeone did not hesitate to give up the game: "The title is in hand, the most important game for us now is the Champions League, there is no need to fight to the death with Barcelona. ”

Speaking of the intra-squad meeting, Simeone got straight to the point: 'The most important game we have now is the second leg against Chelsea. ”

Everyone nodded.

"In the second leg, our tactics were to defend and counter-attack."

Simeone analysed the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals: "At the moment we have a one-goal lead, we have the advantage, Chelsea can only attack, we certainly can't play against each other, defending and counter-attacking is the best tactic! ”

Atletico's ability to defend and counter-attack, and Chelsea came out and hit the target.

Three days later, the final round of La Liga began.

Simeone sent a substitute lineup, and Li Chuanqi, Costa and other main players simply did not even make the substitute list.

Barcelona also sent a substitute lineup, after all, the World Cup is coming, and the stars have shifted their focus to the World Cup.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Barcelona won 2-0 and won the league runner-up.

This is the official end of the La Liga season.
