The topic of defending the title has not been discussed within Real Madrid for a long time.

Jose Mourinho doesn't like to keep talking about the title he didn't win.

Real Madrid's players have learned the importance of ladder goals after winning the title last season.

You can have fun and even celebrate a few times, but the Real Madrid players know that the game still has to be played one game at a time.

Real Madrid also didn't have a huge points advantage in the mid-term lead this season.

Even if Barcelona finally starts to drop the chain now, but to be honest, the difference between two points is only two, and in the most ideal scenario, Real Madrid will win the make-up match again and widen the difference to five points.

Is there a lot of fault tolerance for two wins?

Real Madrid will inevitably give a few chances in the late season, and in the case of psychological advantages, it is the most correct way to stabilize and not pay more attention to public opinion in the outside world.

So after the profit, Real Madrid seemed to be extraordinarily "silent".

"As" sent a large number of paparazzi reporters, originally wanted to shoot some of the prodigal news of the Real Madrid players during the holiday.

As a result, in addition to photographing Ronaldo and Elena shopping in the duty-free zone, the biggest news they photographed was that Leon was no longer practicing!

Yes, Leon did not choose to continue training during the two-day holiday after playing the league against Rayo Vallecano, but went for another walk along the Mediterranean coast with Marcelo and Nacho.

The temperature in Madrid in winter is fine, sub-zero weather is rare, but the air is still a little dry.

In contrast, the weather in Valencia is much better.

Leon has always had no trouble traveling, and Marcelo prefers the beaches of Valencia, which have mild sunshine in winter.

So Leon pulled Nacho and then Marcelo, and the three of them went on a short trip.

It's not far from Madrid to Valencia, less than 400 kilometers away.

There were seven people in total, three people plus assistants and security guards, and the two cars went in the morning on the holiday, and at noon several people sat in a restaurant on the coast of Valencia to enjoy a seafood feast.

When he met reporters on the way out, Li Ang and the others also greeted them in a relaxed mood.

Therefore, the "As" newspaper soon published the news that Leon and his people went to Valencia to play.

It's true that I couldn't find news during Real Madrid's short vacation.

The three of them played until the evening of the next day before driving back to Madrid.

There are no luxury cars and beauties on this small holiday, but a few men slept on the beach until they woke up naturally, and they ate three seafood dinners in a row, and they were full of happiness.

After relaxing, the Real Madrid players returned to a fulfilling training life.

Jose Mourinho didn't give any more reminders, but Real Madrid's stars were consciously 100 per cent committed to the league and the next round of the Champions League.

Before the start of the 25th round of La Liga, the first leg of the remaining four quarterfinals of the Champions League also kicked off.

Malaga and Barcelona represented La Liga against Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan respectively.

But the result was that the Western media and the entire Spanish football world blew up.

Because both teams lost.

Málaga lost 3-1 at home to Borussia Dortmund, and the result was naturally not satisfactory to Málaga's supporters and the Spanish media.

If you only lose by one goal, say 1-2 or 2-3, then Malaga will still have some initiative when they return to their home stadium in the second leg.

But with two goals lost, the second leg in Malaga will be very difficult.

However, Malaga's loss to Borussia Dortmund was not an upset.

After all, Dortmund have already shown their superior strength in the two big battles with Real Madrid.

But Barcelona's loss, or simply lost to Milan 0-2 at the San Siro, which is quite undeserved.

Many fans have speculated that Barcelona has brought the sluggish form in the league to the Champions League.

They lost two goals in the first leg and haven't scored a single away goal, so the second leg can only be said to be unlucky.

Milan scored one goal at Camp Nou in the second leg, Barcelona had to score four goals to advance, and three goals had to be eliminated, it was too passive!

Bayern Munich thrashed Portuguese giants Porto with a crisp 3-0 win at the Stade de la Dragon.

Like Real Madrid, Bayern have one foot in the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League after the first leg.

Galatasaray drew with Schalke 04, and whoever wins, either team, will basically be counted as a big package in the quarterfinals.

Barcelona, who was upset, became the most embarrassing team in this round of eighths of the knockout round.

The strong teams basically didn't overturn much, and Manchester United finally scored an away goal, but Barcelona didn't score an away goal, and was directly removed from the bald head.

And Milan's explosive play has received praise from the media and fans.

Leon's memory of most of this season's Champions League duel scores is already vague.

What he remembers most clearly is that the Spanish Super League duo were slaughtered by the top two in the Bundesliga in the semi-finals.

Those two matchups made the fans who were generally optimistic about the Western Super League at that time be slapped in the face.

Cough. At that time, Leon was in the fan group that was slapped in the face, so after so many years, he still remembers these two games so deeply.

In any case, the Barcelona in his memory still reached the final four, even if this season's Barcelona seems to have a bit of ups and downs.

But after returning to Camp Nou, Leon felt that Barcelona was more likely to win in the end.

If Milan still has Ibrahimovic and Pi Master in charge, then Leon will definitely have no brains to stand on Milan's side.

But after Ibrahimovic left for Paris and Le Maestro also switched to Juventus, Milan was left with only a nerve knife, and no ability to control the field steadily.

Compared with Barcelona, which is desperate in the second leg, then the current Milan has to be at least a grade worse and unstable.

After the Champions League ended, Real Madrid and Barcelona all put their focus back on the league.

In the 25th round of the league, Real Madrid's opponent is the promoted Mara Coruna.

Super Laco is currently in the bottom of La Liga, with one point more points than Mallorca, and has only won three of the first 24 rounds of the league, which can be said to be extremely weak.

Bellerón has continued to play an important role in Deportivo La Coruna this season.

Eighteen starts in the first 24 league games, scoring one goal and providing five assists.

This data is placed on a veteran who is about to turn thirty-eight years old, and whoever reads it has to give a thumbs up:

I did my best!

In the last round against Deportivo La Coruna, Leon unfortunately did not play against Belleron.

He waited for this round.

Belleron started and played the entire game.

The aging maestro is still trying his best to earn points for Deportivo La Coruna.

But the reality is cruel, in the face of Real Madrid's big soldiers, the weak Deportivo midfield is not something that Belleron can stand up to alone.

Leon didn't let go of the water in the slightest, and he was particularly excited today to play an all-round offensive and defensive performance in front of Belleron.

Contributed nine effective tackles, seven successful interceptions, and the same seven one-on-one duels were all successful!

The key is on the offensive end, and Leon also contributed the personal data of the pass.

In the end, Real Madrid, who were semi-main, took away a four-goal victory at the Stadio Riazol, and Deportivo La Coruna did not even get a goal.

After the match, Leon once again received champagne as the best player of the match, but for him, receiving the Belleron jersey was even happier for him.

"Well done, little lion, keep up the good work, remember the path you want to take, and go to the end with determination."

Master Belleron gave Leon a firm hug and gave Leon another heartfelt blessing.

Leon didn't have anything to say, and hugged Belleron's hands tightly.

Both of them know that this is the first time the two have played each other in La Liga, and it will likely be the last.

Even if Deportivo La Coruna are not relegated this season, Belleron should consider returning to his parent club Las Palmas to enjoy the last few years of his career.

There is freedom and blessing in reluctance.

Leon knows that he is the heir to the mantle of Belleron, because he constantly understands that Belleron's "core essentials of organization" are slowly growing up on the offensive organizational end.

In the face of his "mentor", Li Ang can only wish him to continue to enjoy the happiness brought by football after returning to his parent team.

And looking at the hugging of Leon in the field, it was like hugging his satisfied juniors to send encouragement to Belleron.

Thousands of Real Madrid fans and more than 30,000 Deportivo fans stood up and gave their heartfelt applause.

It's not a favor, it's a tribute and a blessing to a true midfield maestro.

This season, whether Deportivo La Coruna plays home or away, the fans in front of the stadium will give Bellerón a round of applause at the beginning and end of the match.

This is the highest respect from the fans.

After a warm round of matches, the Real Madrid players were gearing up and began to sharpen their knives and look at Barcelona.

Yes, the second national derby of the season in La Liga is about to begin!

The Barcelona players, who had just beaten Sevilla 3-1, could not be happier.

Because they now have an important choice to make.

On February 26, before the national derby against Real Madrid, should they give up the Copa del Rey rematch with Atletico Madrid?

If they don't give up, they will have to do their best to score more goals in order to reverse Atletico.

But if you give up, the Barcelona players who have come this far are really unwilling.

It's a pity that the time constraint has left Barcelona with no extra time to think.

Three days after playing against Sevilla, they host Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey.

It can be seen that Vilanova finally echoed the will of the Barcelona players.

Although his expression was helpless, he still discharged Barcelona's most offensive set of four, three, three pure main formation.

But today's Barcelona are destined to be tormented by the scrappy Atletico players in the game.

The first half was fine, Atletico only conceded one goal, Simeone was more satisfied, and the Barcelona players seemed to see hope of a comeback.

But in the second half, when Costa came out of his power and made Pique and Mascherano mentally unbalanced in just 20 minutes, they each carried a yellow card.

The tide of the game began to tilt in Atletico's favor.

Falcao's point-grabbing became more reckless, with neither Mascherano nor Pique daring to make big defensive moves.

As a result, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid drew 2-2 in the second half.

Although Barcelona won 3-2 in this game, the difference in the aggregate score made them still eliminated!

It's cracked.

Once again, the mentality of Barcelona fans is cracked!

Still playing Real Madrid in this state?

It's rare, the suspense of La Liga is over!
