True braves are brave enough to move forward steadily toward the goal they are aiming for.

The braver ones are those who do not think of retreating later when facing opponents who are stronger than themselves, and they will fight to the end.

Borussia Dortmund were the braver men today, and their spirit deserved the hype and praise from the German media after the game.

After being killed by Li Ang, Klopp stood on the sidelines and accompanied his disciples to fight until the moment when the referee blew the whistle.

Royce's stamina was basically depleted.

When the whistle blew, his tense spirit relaxed, and his still rushing pace suddenly became unstable.

Leon caught him in his own half.

The hand was very steady, and by the way, he patted the other party's already soaked head.

'You played well today, Marko, now you can relax.'

A fluent German language came out of Leon's mouth, almost causing Royce, who had fallen into his arms, to jump away in surprise.

"Have you ever lived in Germany, Leon?"

"That's not true, the last time I played with Muller, I talked to him, but he ignored me, so I went back and taught myself German~"

Leon made a fool of a reason, watched Lewandowski, who was nearby, come over to check the situation, and directly handed Royce to the other party.

Borussia Dortmund fans were in no hurry to leave the pitch and were saddened by the 2-1 defeat to Real Madrid.

But when they saw the Dortmund players who had fought the field, a wave of pride suddenly rose in their hearts!

Proud!

Last season, after returning to the Champions League after many years, their ambitions finally swallowed the bitter fruit of the Champions League group stage exit.

It's still out of the bottom of the game, and I don't even have to play in the Europa League.

Compared with those teams who have played in the Champions League all year round, last year's team was indeed too inexperienced and too immature.

The record of one win, one draw and four losses pierced the heart of every Dortmund fan.

It's expensive tuition, and it's the price they have to pay to get back into Europe.

But after a season, they have been able to play back and forth with the reigning Champions League champions, and even almost drew at their own home!

As a youth team in the Champions League, Dortmund fans have every reason to be proud of their team, their coaches and their players after a rookie season.

A round of applause erupted from the South Stand in Westphalia.

This was followed by the East and West Stands, the North Stands, and eventually the entire Westphalian Stadium!

Borussia Dortmund's old captain Kyle took to the pitch at this time, cheering his team-mates and encouraging his little brothers.

And the rest of the young Dortmund players will also grit their teeth and hold their heads high, holding their tired chests and applauding their fans to express their gratitude!

Klopp's eyes were no longer in the pain of the defeat.

He stood erect on the sidelines, patting the club crest on his chest like a victor and thanking the fans.

Karanka looked at the scene in front of her and felt both physical and psychological shock.

It was only after a while that he opened his mouth to give Mourinho a serious warning.

"If this team doesn't meet us before the final, they should be the biggest problem for us to defend our title this season!"

Mourinho's eyes were solemn, and he wanted to subconsciously nod in agreement.

But he suddenly remembered the current Bayern Munich team that has brought in Martinez and has completed the defensive evolution.

Is the current Dortmund really stronger than Bayern Munich?

If he remembers correctly, Schalke 04, who defeated Borussia Dortmund in the last round of the Bundesliga, was beaten to no strength against Bayern.

A big question mark appeared in Mourinho's mind.

The joy of three consecutive wins in the Champions League group stage has been diluted a lot by such a strength comparison.

He took one last look at the mighty Westfalfford, shook hands with Klopp and walked into the tunnel.

Real Madrid's players returned to the dressing room after thanking their fans.

Li Ang originally wanted to talk to Götze for a few words, but now he has also lost his mind.

"Goodbye at the Bernabeu."

After muttering silently in his heart, Leon and his teammates left with victorious steps.

They don't have to think too far ahead like their own manager.

It's time to enjoy the fruits of the first stage of the Champions League group stage.

※※※

In the final round of the first stage of the group stage, Real Madrid played harder than the outside world expected.

Dortmund seem to have played their form after the baptism of the first two group games, and it can be called a defeat.

But the morning after the end of this round of Champions League group stage, neither Real Madrid nor Borussia Dortmund were able to cause the biggest wave of public opinion.

Because just last night, when the two teams were fighting, Ajax next door had a big upset and beat Manchester City 4-2!

This result has sparked a heated discussion among fans from all walks of life, and the reversal is full, and the bottom three teams in Group D will really have to prepare for a big brawl!

Real Madrid is currently on a three-game winning streak and is in first place in Group D with nine points, while Borussia Dortmund is second in Group D with four points.

Ajax are third with three points, while Manchester City, who are the worst, have two losses and one draw, and are now bottom with only one point.

The Ajax fans were able to do sit-ups, and after the win over Manchester City, there were inevitably fans who were shocked and screamed.

They are alive and there is even hope of qualifying for the Champions League!

And Manchester City, which was previously pinned on by the British media, will not mention the quarterfinals, and may not even be able to touch the door of the Champions League round of 16.

As one of the Premier League's cards in this year's Champions League, even if it is placed in the group of death, it is really unacceptable to be at the bottom.

Many Manchester City fans will already have an explosive mentality.

From confidently holding Ajax, overtaking Dortmund and ranking second in the group to being beaten to the bottom of despair.

Their mindset changed so dramatically in one night.

This will not be ambitious, first try to beat Ajax in the next round, and keep the hope of qualifying!

While the British media is wailing for Manchester City's situation, the Western media is fanfare about the outstanding performance of the four La Liga teams in the Champions League this year!

Both Huangsa and Malaga have won three in a row in the first stage of the group stage!

After losing to Bayern Munich in the first round of the Champions League group stage, Valencia faced Lille and Borisov Bart, but they did not relent, winning two consecutive victories.

And at present, because of the advantage of goal difference, they have surpassed Bayern and ranked first in Group F!

The four La Liga teams are all ranked at the top of their respective groups, and it is no wonder that the Western media has swelled their confidence after the first stage of the group stage.

Of course, for Real Madrid, which has fought the most tough battles and played the most convincing results, the Western media has once again increased publicity and touting.

This similar public opinion propaganda has some flavor of cooperating with La Liga and UEFA.

In previous seasons, it was Barcelona who enjoyed such public opinion.

It's a pity that Barcelona didn't seize the opportunity to complete the Champions League defense, otherwise their dream three dynasties would only be more terrifying.

As the current team in La Liga, Real Madrid's revival and rise is still in the interests of La Liga and UEFA.

In the eyes of the two major interest groups, whether it is Barcelona or Real Madrid, whoever is strong and who wins, they will praise whoever wins.

It's simple.

However, the Real Madrid players, who have suffered from the disadvantage of public opinion in previous seasons, are basically immune to the overtures of public opinion.

How they managed to win the title last season is clear to every Real Madrid player.

Mourinho's every truth is ugly, but he was right.

Don't pay too much attention to what the media says during the season, it will only affect their own preparations.

Winner takes all, and the Real Madrid players who have experienced this ecstasy have not slackened.

They also want to feel the taste of winning to the end a few more times!

It's only a season, and it's still early.

Continuing to adjust their form and achieve their goals at every stage of the game is more important than anything else.

And with the king of volumes like Leon and Ronaldo in the team, the rest of the Real Madrid stars who have pursuits really can't relax if they want to.

The two of them only rested for half a day when they returned to Madrid, and they chatted in the group about going to the base for recovery training in advance.

As a result, the next morning, the players of the Real Madrid first team who had only played the game basically arrived at the training base early.

This battle scared Mourinho!

Fortunately, none of the Real Madrid players who have just finished the Champions League have been reckless, and they will have to train if they learn from Leon and Roma.

Most of them come to the training base in advance for physical examination and physical therapy recovery.

So while the training ground was lively, the physiotherapy area of Valdebebas was also lively.

This proactive recovery gesture has both Karanka and Mourinho delighted.

The players are motivated and they certainly won't be idle.

Ahead of the next Champions League group game, Real Madrid will play two league games and one Copa del Rey in La Liga.

Plus the Champions League group stage with Dortmund on November 6.

The intensity of the game was raised at once.

It is equivalent to four games every two weeks, which does not match the rhythm of the main players who think is the most reasonable one game a week.

So, it still has to be rotated.

At least in this round of the Copa del Rey match, Mourinho will definitely use a pure rotation lineup.

Facing their opponents in La Liga B, Mourinho's confidence in Matuidi and Luka Modric is fully sufficient.

At that time, Li Ang can completely stay at home and rest, and there is no need to press the formation.

On October 27, Jesse Rodriguez was officially promoted from Castilla to the Real Madrid first team.

Naturally, several of Castia's big brothers celebrated him again.

The current nineteen-year-old Jesse has surpassed all of Castillari's attackers.

He has already contributed seven goals and four assists in La Liga this season.

You must know that this will be the second division of the league has just finished ten rounds, and Jesse has already played an average of one goal per game.

It's no wonder that Mourinho is confident that he won't make up for the attacker in the summer window.

Is this big baby in his own camp, just promote the first team.

Jesse is not yet able to withstand any of Real Madrid's attacking trident.

But he played a rotation bench but it was more than enough.

As soon as the Copa del Rey starts, and the main players of the subsequent Real Madrid first team will often rotate and rest in the league, Jesse will not have fewer opportunities to play and practice.

On the evening of October 28, in the ninth round of La Liga on the island of Mallorca, Real Madrid used a semi-main and semi-rotating lineup to defeat Mallorca by three goals.

Jesus not only got the chance to play in this game, but also played the entire second half.

Before being substituted in the second half, Leon took advantage of Benzema's cover to advance to the left side of Mallorca's penalty area, and deliberately distributed the ball to this kid to let him perform.

Jesse did not live up to Leon's trust in him, confidently passing the opponent's defender Conceição in the Mallorca penalty area, and then passed straight to the back of the goal to help Ronaldo score again!

This series of technical moves is very coherent, and Movistar's La Liga commentator is even more blunt:

"This talented youngster is not showing off his skills and excellence, he is showing his talent, pure talent!"

Yes, the 19-year-old's performance on the pitch is a show of his talent.

At least at this moment, almost all the fans and commentators who watched the match thought that Real Madrid would have another outstanding talent from their own academy.

Just like Leon at the end of 10 years.

The same nineteen, the same promotion by Mourinho.

However, the talent shown by Hesse was much stronger than that of Leon at that time.

The attention and treatment he receives now is also much better than that of Leon at that time.

He has all the talents and the conditions to succeed, and he deserves to succeed.

And after Real Madrid got the first assist, Jesse did quickly attract the attention of the media and a large number of Real Madrid fans.

On the evening of October 31, Jesse made his first start for Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey.

Facing Alcoano in La B, Jesse directly contributed a 70-minute passing performance.

Alvaro Morata scored twice, while Callejon and Luka Modric scored one each.

In the end, Real Madrid won 5-0 at Alcoano's home stadium!

The result of this game is actually nothing to predict and say, the opponent is too weak after all.

However, the excellent performance of Real Madrid's rotation players still delighted Real Madrid fans.

Real Madrid also maintained their record of 16 games unbeaten in all competitions since the start of the new season.

Compared with last season's crazy winning streak, Real Madrid's record this season is a little "normal".

There are draws with Barcelona in both the Spanish Super Cup and the league.

It's not so strong, and there are a lot fewer big scores, but it also seems more stable.

However, Barcelona will not pull the chain this season, and when Real Madrid is undefeated, Barcelona is still unbeaten in the league.

Therefore, the two teams are still leading the La Liga standings with the same score in the league, and they can't pull away from each other.

It really highlights a patient competition.

And their two teams are stable, and it is the teams in the middle and lower reaches of La Liga who have to suffer hard.

On the afternoon of November 3, Malaga took the lead in kicking off the 10th round of La Liga.

However, they failed to get off to a good start and were unlucky to lose 2-1 at home to Rayo Vallecano.

Barcelona, who came out in the second game, remained in a steady game.

3-0 won Celta steadily, Barcelona refused to cause an upset, and Messi also continued to maintain pressure on Ronaldo on the scorer list with his passing performance.

Real Madrid took the stage to play Zaragoza in the tenth round of the league after Barcelona's match.

In this game, it is difficult for Real Madrid to be upset.

Facing the current vice-captain of the league, Zaragoza, Ronaldo ended the suspense of the game directly in the first half with a neat hat-trick.

Gonzalo Higuain, who started the game, also scored a goal in the second half.

However, today Di Maria and Benzema, who replaced Cristiano Ronaldo in the second half, did not seem to have much desire to attack.

Real Madrid has no idea of slaughtering the bottom team, after a simple 4-0, relying on the goal difference, Real Madrid overtook Barcelona and ranked first in La Liga!

The two top teams in the Western Super League have played a record of nine wins and one draw in the league like they love each other, and it seems that they are really rushing to the second half of the league to win and lose again.

And Atletico Madrid's current record behind them is also surprisingly beautiful.

With eight wins, one draw and one loss, Simeone's new Atletico Madrid is very combative, and after correcting Diego Costa and letting him partner with Falcao, Atletico's record has taken off all the way.

Compared with the offensive game scene of the two teams of Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid is now unique in the league with its tough offensive and defensive performance.

They are not bad in attack, ranking only behind Real Sa in terms of goals, and the number of goals conceded is also second only to Real Madrid, ranking second lowest in La Liga.

This kind of statistical performance is very eye-catching, and the toughness on the field has almost become the new label of Atletico.

The era of La Liga Smash Bros. officially kicked off in late 2012.

Atletico Madrid carried a machete all the way to the door of the top two in the Western Super League.

They're going to forcibly enter the table and divide the meat!
