Leon's small Champions League goal, which he joked at the start of the season, is about to be achieved.

In the first leg, they kept a clean sheet at the opponent's home stadium and scored three away goals, and in the second leg at the Bernabeu, Real Madrid fans really don't know how to lose!

It's a bit arrogant to say this, but it can't be helped, Mourinho's style was once complained about by Real Madrid fans, but it also brought them such confidence.

Real Madrid's players are even more scrappy.

Their Champions League journey this season has been as smooth as last season.

At least until the semi-finals began, 16 into 8 and 8 into 4 were extremely smooth.

But this season, they have more confidence to successfully cross the semi-finals and reach the stage of the Champions League final!

Because they no longer have that huge sense of pressure when facing Barcelona, the head-to-head victory against Barcelona gives them more confidence.

Bayern is strong, but can it be better than Barcelona, who have won the Champions League twice in three years?

There are not a few Real Madrid stars who have this kind of confidence, which is actually a good thing, at least they have a natural psychological advantage.

And Li Ang and Brother Long, a few more calm-headed midfielders, are equivalent to cooling agents.

Their composure and caution will also unwittingly affect this group of confident Real Madrid stars.

There is no need for them to suddenly become low-key and vigilant, as long as there is no problem of confidence inflation this time.

Self-confidence is also self-aware and not inflated, which is the best psychological posture towards Bayern in the future.

And Mourinho was relieved to see that there were still a lot of sober-minded players in the team after the game.

He took Cristiano Ronaldo to the post-match press conference.

After finishing his physiotherapy in the away team's locker room and rinsing off, Leon hurriedly trotted across the mixed interview area and ran back to the bus.

The reporters in the interview area were confused, but the other Real Madrid players who walked slowly did know.

Leon wants to see the result of the match between Chelsea and AC Milan.

"I rub? Fight so fiercely?! ”

After taking out his mobile phone with some trepidation and swiping out the relevant news, Li Ang was a little surprised.

Milan played 3-3 at home to Chelsea in the first leg!

This result is too exciting, and it doesn't quite fit Uncle Yu's usual style

Li Ang thought of this, but clicked on the game information column.

Sure enough, after seeing Milan score two goals in the first half, only to be tied by Chelsea in the second half, it made sense that the two teams finally played a 3-3 scoreline.

"Sure enough, it's still that embarrassing smell, my uncle must want to stabilize the lead by two balls, and he will never fight for his life at the last moment if he is not forced to a corner."

Leon subconsciously raised the corners of his mouth, and the image of Allegri roaring for Big Boateng and Seedorf to interject already appeared in his mind.

This will be discussed with great interest by the other Real Madrid players who returned to the bus.

Apparently they have also seen the news of the first leg results between Milan and Chelsea.

Neither of these teams looks like they can cause too much trouble for Barcelona at the moment, but they can play better first, and they can always add to Barca's problems, right?

Li Ang listened to the excited voices of his teammates discussing how to play Barcelona in the final, but he grinned.

Playing Barcelona in the final?

If Chelsea are forced to their best by Milan in this round, Barcelona will not be in trouble.

They will face one of the toughest rocks in the history of the Champions League.

Smash their teeth, and seize the opportunity to forcibly crush the tough rocks of the past on them!

Closing his eyes, Leon is already looking forward to the next leg of the Champions League tie.

Not only is he looking forward to another match against Marseille, but he is also looking forward to a second match between Milan and Chelsea.

After that battle, whether Barcelona will continue to pick up the gift bag or run into the explosives bag, there is naturally a certainty.

※※※

After flying back to Madrid overnight, the Real Madrid players drove home to rest under Mourinho's repeated instructions.

Guo Feng and Marcelo did not dare to go out and fool around at this important moment of the schedule.

There was nothing to say all night, and even Li Ang slept until the afternoon before getting up.

After an away game, they always have to sleep for at least 10 hours before they wake up naturally.

Of course, after a long journey, it's not uncommon to get 12 hours of sleep.

So the coaching staff put today's recovery training at 4 p.m. as well.

The Real Madrid players were well rested and then slowly arrived at the training base after a hearty meal.

However, compared to the leisurely nature of their players, Mourinho and the members of the coaching staff are already preparing for the game intensively.

Real Madrid's opponent in the next round of the league is Osasuna.

A resilient team that didn't have a good start to the season, finished in the bottom half of the league, but have now climbed to seventh in La Liga.

If you look at the standings and the record, Osasuna will definitely not be able to play.

Ten wins, thirteen draws and six defeats, this is the record data played by Osasuna so far (the 20th round has been postponed).

They seem to be very good at fighting for a draw, and this ability is also what Real Madrid fear the most now.

But if you look at the goals conceded by this team, the perception is different.

Scored 37 goals and conceded 48 goals.

The offensive firepower is okay, ranking in the top eight of La Liga, but the statistics of conceding goals are ugly.

Their defensive standards are only fourth from bottom in La Liga.

Looking at this offensive and defensive data, combined with the previous team's record, the members of Real Madrid's coaching staff suddenly became enlightened.

can attack but can't defend back, this is a typical model team that relies on offense to eat, and replaces defense with offense.

This move is really a weapon to score points for the teams in the middle and lower reaches.

Attack, anyway, if you score more than your opponent, you win, and if you don't do well, you can fight for a draw and get points, as long as the offense is stronger than the opponent, you can always score first.

But against strong teams, especially strong teams with outstanding defensive ability, most of Osasuna's "strong conversations" are broken at the first touch.

The offense can't be effective, and the back line is still being beaten one by one, so it's strange if it doesn't fail miserably.

Looking at the goals conceded and past records, Osasuna has faced Barcelona and Real Madrid this season, and the goals conceded are close to 20!

However, in the second leg of the meeting with Barcelona, they scored one more goal than Barcelona and won the game 3-2.

At that time, Real Madrid fans also applauded Osasuna's bold tactical set-up.

Now it is Real Madrid's turn to play the second leg against Osasuna, and Real Madrid fans naturally hope that Osasuna will not be so aggressive in attack, and it is better to be beaten again.

Mourinho and his assistants, after studying Osasuna's tactical characteristics, were confident and not at all as nervous as the fans.

Essentially, one of Barcelona's last failures was that they were not mentally prepared, and they didn't expect Osasuna to dare to attack them.

Second, there are still some problems in Barcelona's defense.

Don't look at the few goals conceded by Barcelona, they play pass control and active pressing, basically control the ball in other people's halves, and play weak teams to complete the defensive task in the midfield, and the back line is rarely affected by frequent impact.

Coming out with a single defensive line, the current Barcelona defensive theory can not compare with Real Madrid's ability to limit the opponent's forwards.

This is also the most fundamental reason why Mourinho is confident.

Aside from the system, Real Madrid's backline alone has the best player hard power in La Liga.

Coupled with Alonso and Leon in front of the defence, Mourinho has no reason to be afraid of Osasuna's attacking tempo.

And to fight this kind of team that replaces defense with offense and locks up their offense, there is nothing to worry about.

Jose Mourinho's thinking obviously makes sense, and Osasuna's coaches and players are now most afraid of Real Madrid's defense from the start.

Before the pre-match press conference, Osasuna's players were hoping that Real Madrid would opt to rotate their squad as the next round of Champions League fixtures approached.

But on the afternoon of March 30, when Real Madrid released the starting 18-man list, there was a mourning in the Osasuna training base.

Real Madrid chose to attack with all the main force!

Coentrão, Ramos, Pepe, Arbeloa are the main defenders in the 18-man squad.

No one would think that Mourinho was setting off smoke bombs and that he would end up putting these key players on the bench.

Obviously, Mourinho has found Osasuna's goal, and wants to win Osasuna again in the away game on the night of the 31st, and continue to move towards their goal of winning the title in advance.

And on the night of March 31, when the players of both teams followed the footsteps of the referee on the pitch.

Many neutral fans looked at Real Madrid's starting formation today and cast sympathetic glances at Osasuna.

Four-three-one-two.

Mourinho not only put on a set of defensive backlines with the strongest defensive ability, but also played the "macho foursome" in the midfield!

Leon, Alonso and Essien were nailed in their own half at the back, Khedira burst forward, and Cristiano Ronaldo and Benzema played as two strikers.

From the very beginning of the game, Osasuna used Real Madrid's midfield strangulation style of play.

No matter how strong and difficult Raul Garcia is, no matter how superb Nino's shooting skills are, and how flexible and fast Cejudo is.

If they can't hit the front of Real Madrid's penalty area, their attacking skills will not be of much use.

Not to mention their midfield, looking at the giant clubs on the entire European continent now, who dares to say that they can snatch control of the midfield in Real Madrid's style of play?

Mourinho has filled Real Madrid's midfield defensive ability from the beginning, that is, to grab, that is, to press and repel Osasuna's offensive attempts.

After the first fifteen minutes of the opening period, Osasuna's attacking players had to slow down their form and fitness in Real Madrid's strangulation tactics.

At this point in time, Real Madrid immediately moved, frequently launching counterattacks on the offensive end and rapid advances on the wings.

Just don't give Osasuna the slightest time to relax!

Leon and Essien are proper beasts when defending.

However, once they switch to attacking mode, they can also quickly move forward, and together with Khedira, provide enough ball support for Ronaldo and Benzema.

Alonso, as always, used his long passing ability to sort out the attacking line.

Real Madrid's fast attacking rhythm came together, that is, wave after wave, and Osasuna's already weak defense retreated and contracted.

In the 23rd minute of the first half, Cristiano Ronaldo quickly distributed the ball to the rib area in a rapid advance on the left side.

After receiving the ball in the response position, Leon used a smooth long-distance pass to find Essien who was following up on the right side of midfield.

Essien sent a diagonal pass down the middle, and the forward face brother immediately held the ball into the top of the Osasuna penalty area.

It was an absolute threat position, and several of Osasuna's defenders were not careless and rushed over to trap Khedira.

Khedira, who has now been transformed by Mourinho to play football "compelly", defused Osasuna's closure with a timely goal.

Benzema received a pass from his face on the touchline on the right side of the penalty area.

After smashing the ball into the Osasuna penalty area, Benzema pulled his foot and hit it. Spread to the ground!

This fake shot and real pass shook the waists of almost all the players on the field.

That is, Ronaldo subconsciously continued to follow up, and in the face of Benzema's sweeping cross, he also made the most correct shooting choice between the flashes.

Push the near angle!

Osasuna's goalkeeper Fernandez was slow to get off the ground, and he could only watch Ronaldo eat cake and break through the gate he was guarding!

And Mourinho also calmly waved his fist at this moment, and then paced back to the coach's seat and sat down.

There is no suspense anymore!

This Osasuna, Real Madrid is determined today!

Mourinho's calmness in the live footage gave Real Madrid fans a lot of confidence.

And Real Madrid did control the tempo in the subsequent games, destroying the will of Osasuna players to resist with one goal after another.

The final score was 4-0.

Leon scored a goal in the 78th minute of the second half through a corner kick opportunity!

Osasuna is really the same Osasuna they met at the beginning of the season, and if they can't open up the situation on the offensive end, they can only blow themselves up.

Real Madrid, who have won another league game, are only three rounds away from their goal of winning the title early!

Barcelona fans have almost lost all hope at this time.

Expecting Real Madrid, who have only lost once this season, to lose to the 35th round of the league in a row, and then give Barcelona a chance to turn the tables?

I never dreamed of it!

This season, that's basically it, it's more practical to think about how to win the league title next season.

So when Real Madrid fans celebrated, Barcelona fans, or pro-Barcelona media, did not open their mouths to stir up the emotions of Real Madrid fans.

After two or three days of enthusiastic celebrations and discussions, it was not until the Marseille players arrived in Madrid that the Real Madrid fans stopped for a moment.

Well, this round of the Champions League quarter-finals is basically a sure result for Real Madrid.

But for Marseille, Real Madrid fans still give basic respect.

However, some players in Marseille are still thinking about turning the tables against the wind.

Valbuena, for example, confidently expressed his determination in a pre-match interview with the newspaper As.

"As Leon said after the first leg, they went to France to win, and we came to Madrid today to win the game! I'm sure we'll be able to pull off a miracle in this round! ”

Valbuena's remarks naturally touched a large number of Marseille fans.

At this moment, almost all the fans in France stood behind Marseille to cheer them on.

But, it's useless.

Real Madrid gave Marseille a humiliating clean sheet 3-0 on the night of April 4, leaving Marseille's players stunned.

Li Ang looked at the scene of Valbuena sitting on the ground crying with a painful face after the game, and could only shake his head with emotion.

This flag, it's really not that anyone can stand it casually, be cautious, brother!

There are two more chapters!
