Chapter 153 The Champions League round of 16 is freshly released, and Real Madrid is aiming for the sixth crown of the year! [Ask for subscription!] 】

Leon's header in the 73rd minute knocked down the confidence of most of Atletico's players.

The psychological advantage that Atletico Madrid fans have built up in the first thirteen rounds of the league is also gone at this moment!

The familiar feeling of powerlessness once again hit the hearts of all Atletico Madrid fans.

This sense of powerlessness against Real Madrid is still very painful for them, but correspondingly, they still accept this defeat in advance.

In the final analysis, Atletico Madrid has lost too many games to Real Madrid over the years, and there have been few draws.

Atletico Madrid's fans are just uncomfortable and painful, and after losing too much, they are not used to it and slowly get used to it.

Simeone was still very unwilling, and after sulking for three or four minutes, he once again stood on the sidelines and roared to cheer up his disciples.

Not to mention getting back into the game, Simeone just wants his players not to lose their ambition and not give up easily.

If this Atletico team, which he has single-handedly rebuilt, has this mental tenacity, then he will only feel that he has failed in his work!

Fortunately, he got the scene he wanted to see.

From Costa in the front, to Gabi, Koke, Garcia in the midfield, to Godin and Juanfran in the back.

His players didn't just let it go.

They are still running hard looking for opportunities to fight back, even if their fitness is already not as good as Real Madrid's.

But they didn't give up.

The Real Madrid generals, who had begun to retreat to the half-time to stabilize the score, also restrained their excess relaxation.

This is the second time they have seen each other this season.

The last time was on the stage of the Champions League group stage, where they faced Borussia Dortmund, who fought until the last minute.

And this time, they saw that spirit again in their city rivals Atletico Madrid.

Whether there is a problem with the tactics and whether the player's ability is up to standard will not be discussed for the time being, at least this mental outlook is indeed rare in the current football world.

Real Madrid's players obviously didn't expect that Atletico Madrid would be so resilient now.

And Simone's transformation has not been completed for more than a year.

Just imagine, a year and a half, two years later, what kind of strength will Atletico Madrid, which has this spirit and has been further improved and strengthened in tactics and lineups, have at that time?

In terms of predicting Atletico's future strength, Li Ang should be the most vocal in the current Real Madrid team.

So in the face of the tenacity that Atletico Madrid is showing so far, he is also the calmest reaction.

Not to mention two years later, a year later, Atletico basically has the hard power to reach the top of Europe.

If Simeone strengthens the lineup and improves the team's offensive play as he did in the original historical line.

After all, Atletico are already doing quite well defensively.

After this season's run-in, their defensive ability will go up a notch, and when it comes to defense alone, Atletico Madrid may directly go to the first place in La Liga!

Now Atletico Madrid is still continuing to explore on the road of tactical perfection, and even the peak level has not been reached, and Real Madrid has only lost two goals in the face of the peak of the Muslim style, but the performance is not bad at all.

Totally worthy of their current status as third in La Liga.

Mourinho's eyes also had a little more solemnity.

'This could be the last time we win a derby with ease, Aitto.'

At the moment of the full-time whistle, Mourinho suddenly said something to Karanka.

Without waiting for Karanka to respond, Mourinho strode towards the coaching bench of Atletico next door.

"It's a good matchup!"

Before Simeone, who barely pulled out a smile, Mourinho took the first step by his arm and gave his recognition without hesitation.

"You've done a great job, Diego, I see a team that's completely different from last season or even the beginning of this season, you're doing a great thing for you, I have to congratulate you."

Mourinho's praise slowly soothed Simeone's tense expression.

"Congratulations on your victory, Jose, you performed impeccable today."

"I'm looking forward to seeing you again in the second half of the league."

"Me too!"

The two outspoken managers smiled at each other on the sidelines at the Bernabeu, and then simply said goodbye to their players.

This is not the beginning of the two of them competing on the same stage, but it is indeed the beginning of a new era in which Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid are competing together.

The Real Madrid players who won did not have too much joy, and the losing Atletico Madrid players were not too disappointed.

They all know that the historical matchup between the two teams has recorded that it is time to turn the page.

Perhaps, the next time they play again, the game scene will surprise all fans.

Of course, the Real Madrid players are still convinced that they will win the derby.

No matter how hard it will be in the next derby.

It doesn't matter what level of strength Atletico has evolved to at that time.

This Madrid, you can't turn the sky upside down!

※※※

Real Madrid's eventual victory was expected by the media.

Regardless of how much tactical progress Atletico showed in the game that deserved to be analysed by the media, the news of the victory was the first day of the day.

There are also newspapers and periodicals that do tactical analysis, but most of them are tabloids.

Big newspapers and magazines want traffic and sales, so why are they willing to publish some professional tactical analysis on the front page that few audiences look at in detail.

And "Marca" and "As" also began to sing the praises of Mourinho's achievements again, as if there was no previous conflict with Mourinho.

This cheeky is so thick-skinned that Li Ang and many Real Madrid players want to complain.

But Mourinho doesn't care at all.

After all, he has now made it clear that he will not accept any more interviews with these two newspapers, and his mood is naturally very comfortable.

And after this round of league games, the final round of the Champions League group stage, the 15th round of the league, and the most important Club World Cup matches in recent times are coming one after another.

Mourinho's work schedule is relatively tight, how can he have the heart to mock the media again.

On the evening of December 4, Real Madrid hosted the final match of this season's Champions League Group D with Ajax.

Real Madrid's main players only finished their match against Atletico Madrid three days ago, and the most important thing for Real Madrid is to try to maintain their unbeaten home streak.

Therefore, Mourinho is still very face-saving and has a pure rotation lineup.

This time Real Madrid can be more "thorough" in rotation than when they played Manchester City.

Because Leon and Cristiano Ronaldo and Casillas did not start.

The Real Madrid players who started were all non-main players:

Goalkeeper Adan.

From left to right, the backline is Marcelo, Albiol, Raphael Varane and Carvajal.

The double midfielders are Matuidi partnering Nacho and Jesse up front.

The forward trio is Vázquez, Morata plus Callejon.

The fans of Ajax were completely speechless, and while running to the official push of Real Madrid, they left a message of thanks, and at the same time, they went to the official push of Manchester City to leave a message to cheer for Manchester City.

After all, in their opinion, although Manchester City has no hope of qualifying for the Champions League group, they will theoretically have to compete with them Ajax for the third place in the group in the final round.

But there is still a chance to play in the Europa League, and the motivation to win Dortmund will not be lacking, so you have to fight again, right?

However, they underestimated the psychological lethality of Real Madrid's starting formation to the whole Manchester City team.

After all, it is conservatively estimated that even if Ajax draws with Real Madrid in this round, there will be five points, while Manchester City must win against Dortmund in this round to have five points.

This difficulty is completely unequal, and Real Madrid's obvious "water release" behavior has become the last straw that crushes the mentality of Manchester City's players at this moment.

So after the two group stage games in the last round of Group D, Ajax is still playing back and forth with Real Madrid's "B team", trying to try to get the last hope of qualifying.

But Manchester City's side was held up in Westfalun, and they simply lost 0-2 in the first half!

So when the news reached the Bernabeu, the mentality of the Ajax players was cracked!

This sleeping dragon and phoenix-like mentality really made countless fans laugh.

In the end, Manchester City's home stadium at Borussia Dortmund was on the back foot in the second half and wanted to fight for their honour.

But it didn't work, and after a 3-1 loss, Manchester City ended their Champions League campaign this season with two draws and four defeats.

This is worse than last season's Dortmund, although Dortmund also lost four games, but still won one round, Manchester City is a win is hard to find.

Ajax ended up drawing 1-1 with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, accumulating five points from six games and finishing third in the group for the third consecutive season.

But at the end of the day, the thought of having a Europa League to play in makes Ajax fans less uncomfortable.

The Dortmund fans celebrated a night of joy.

After many years, they entered the knockout stage of the Champions League again, even if it was only the second place in the group, but they were obviously very satisfied.

In any case, it is better than last season's bottom of the group!

With the end of the Champions League group stage in the past two days, the round of 16 of the Champions League in the 2012-2013 season has also been released.

Paris Saint-Germain, Schalke 04, Malaga, Real Madrid, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Barcelona, Manchester United topped the group.

Porto, Arsenal, AC Milan, Borussia Dortmund, Shakhtar Donetsk, Valencia, Celtic and Galatasaray finished second in the group.

In general, the strength and weakness between the first and second places in the group are still relatively clear.

However, the teams that won the group basically did not want to face Dortmund directly in the first round of the knockout round.

The Hornets have clearly adapted to the rhythm of the Champions League, and the 3-4 defeat to Real Madrid really scared the giants.

For the team that finished second in the group, if they can draw Schalke 04 and Malaga in the quarter-finals, they will think they have earned it.

However, these draws are still insignificant and trivial matters for Huang Saren.

The three of them can't meet in front of them anyway, so it's no different who they fight.

And Real Madrid skipped the next round of the league after the Champions League group stage ended.

Valladolid, the opponent of the 15th round of La Liga, has not attracted the attention of Real Madrid players and fans in the slightest.

Their minds have flown to the far reaches of East Asia.

After the UEFA Super Cup, they are looking forward to the arrival of December.

On the 13th of this month, Real Madrid will compete for the Club World Cup in Japan.

The supreme honor of the six-time crown is already beckoning to the stars of Real Madrid!

It's numb, how can it be a few hundred words.

Add up these two days together to calculate the difference of 2,000 words, just calculate the whole number!
