The night of 26 February 2013 was a night of excitement and excitement for Atletico Madrid fans.

At the same time, it is also a sleepless night that has saddened countless Barcelona fans.

The "Madrid Twins" seemed to have become a well-known name among European fans on this night.

Atletico Madrid also once again announced their strong rise to the world with their domestic cup performance that eliminated Barcelona.

Real Madrid laid the foundation for a resurgence with a head-on win over Barcelona last season, and Atletico Madrid have made a name for themselves in the same way this season.

Barcelona became a stepping stone for both Madrid teams.

How can this brutal status quo be accepted by Barcelona fans who were confident and overlooking all the other team fans just over a year ago?

But now the reality of Barcelona is like this, the departure of the meritorious manager, the team's rotation squad is thin, and the previous hard third line ended in failure.

The most critical point is that Barcelona has played so many Copa del Rey games, and now the disadvantages of the ups and downs of the main players have been fully revealed.

In the second half of the season, the fitness of Barcelona's main players is clearly in question.

There is almost no time to adjust, the league and the Champions League have reached the stage of sprinting to break through, so Barcelona still have to make a choice.

With the Copa del Rey out and a 2-0 defeat to Milan in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-knockout tie, is there any need for them to continue to hold on to the double line?

It is to concentrate on stabilizing the league results and taking advantage of Real Madrid's second half of the Champions League to compete for the La Liga title.

Or will they desperately reverse Milan and then go hand in hand in the Champions League and league?

This question has once again tested all the Barcelona players, coaches and fans.

But before they can make their choice, a bigger test has come before them.

They're going to the Bernabeu to challenge Real Madrid, the current La Liga boss!

Before the start of this big game, Mourinho did not let the Real Madrid players continue to keep a low profile in terms of public opinion.

It was a league showdown expected by the Real Madrid coaching staff.

A head-to-head win against Barcelona would give Real Madrid a five-point lead over Barcelona with one game in hand.

Counting the most desirable rematch result, then Real Madrid's expected points ahead of Barcelona will be eight points!

That's enough to put pressure on Barça.

Just like last season, when Real Madrid's lead reached around three wins, Barcelona began to mess with themselves.

If Pep Guardiola is still leading Barcelona and has the record in the first half of the season as a reference, then Mourinho may be more cautious.

But Vilanova, Mourinho admits that he is a good coach who fits well into the Barcelona system, but he can't be the manager of this Barcelona team.

In a tailwind fight, Villanova will be strong, but he can't withstand a headwind.

Mourinho has this self-confidence, after all, a manager with a leadership temperament in football, that is one counts as one.

If Vilanova wants to completely control this Barcelona team, it will be impossible to clean up the dressing room and bring in descendants without three seasons.

So from the public opinion before the war, Mourinho directly played his madman nature.

Pressurize, put pressure on Barcelona and Vilanova in advance from public opinion!

And the Real Madrid players also expressed their belief in beating Barcelona confidently in the pre-match interview, just like Mu Shuai!

"I know Barcelona are ready, but they have to accept that they have fallen into the best team in football.

That's the way football is today, with every two or three years coming from a stronger team to the top team.

And some of the original top teams are constantly regressing, from the top to the first, and then from the first class to the second rate.

This was the case with Inter Milan in previous years, and now Barcelona is following the same old path.

I think there are only two and a half teams that can be called the top teams this season.

Real Madrid and Bayern Munich are two top teams in the mix, and Borussia Dortmund is half because they need further growth and transformation.

It's a shame that Barcelona is no longer among such top teams.

Even if I don't want to say something controversial like 'Barcelona are not as good as us and Bayern', that's what it is. ”

Leon's sharp and straightforward speech has once again become a hot topic in the entire Spanish football world.

No, maybe it's already the focus of world football.

Previously, some industry insiders may have commented that Barcelona's strength has regressed greatly.

But it was the first time that a popular star like Leon stood up and said that Barcelona was far inferior to Real Madrid and Bayern.

Combined with the fiery words of Leon's yin and yang Barcelona fans and Barcelona club last season, many Barcelona fans were once again angry with Leon.

"He did it on purpose, he must have said it on purpose! This Madridist bastard! ”

"I hope the players will not be disturbed by this kind of rhetoric, and they must teach Real Madrid a hard lesson at the Bernabeu!"

"We have to protest, we have to contribute to the World Sport, we have to accuse Leon of slandering Barça's reputation!"

"him and blast him on social media!"

"He dared to say that we are not the top team in Europe anymore, damn it!"

Countless Barcelona fans who broke the big defense launched a strong counterattack on the public opinion side.

However, this will Real Madrid's fans have long been waiting for it, and the Barcelona fans who came to make trouble under Li Ang's social media have been sprayed back.

And whether it is said that Li Ang is arrogant, or that he is damaging Barcelona's reputation, the pro-Barcelona media do not have much confidence to criticize Li Ang.

Barcelona has won Real Madrid in all competitions in the past two seasons, and that was last season's Spanish Super Cup, which was just a small victory that did not affect the overall situation.

In the case that the record is not advantageous at all, to be honest, spraying people has no confidence to spray, and if you still lose the game after spraying people, it will be even more embarrassing!

The public opinion counterattack of thunder and rain is like a mosquito flying in his ears to Leon.

And Mu Shuai was even more fiery at the pre-match press conference, bluntly agreeing with Li Ang's statements and views.

Many Catalan reporters at the scene were angry and green, but more reporters were watching and having fun, and they also wrote these interesting facts about the scene into the event report.

The Chinese media reporters did not hype up the "wonderful" scene at the scene.

However, they still truthfully sent the photos of Mu Shuai's words against Catalan reporters back to China.

The reporters don't arch the fire, and they can't stand the domestic fans, and the old buddies are full of vitality.

Many pictures were freely played by domestic fans and then posted to the forum with the second creation.

Some fans who don't know whether it's true or false believe it and speed up the spread.

By the morning of the game, the report of "Mourinho vigorously mocking Barcelona's weak strength" had spread in China.

The elder brother of several fans who made the second creation at the beginning had to urgently come forward to refute the rumors.

Li Ang, who was surfing the Internet, couldn't help but retweet the scarf of a fan brother to refute the rumors, and accompanied it with a self-made picture of a panda head laughing and crying.

And then he was on fire again.

It's not because of the content of his retweets, but because of which panda laughing and crying emoji picture he made himself!

Countless fans and onlookers left messages under Li Ang's scarf and wanted this laughing and crying emoji picture without a watermark.

Li Ang saw that domestic netizens were so enthusiastic, so he changed another scarf and shared the panda laughing and crying emoji without watermark.

As a result, on the same day, the panda head laughing and crying emoji quickly spread on the domestic Internet.

Whether it is a scarf, a major sports forum, a post bar or a penguin chat, many unknown netizens will see such a magical panda laughing and crying emoji appearing.

It can only be said that on the road of creating stalks, Li Ang did not mean it, but he went further and further.

Li Ang, who once again caused a wave of domestic discussion, also brought more attention from Chinese netizens to the Spanish national derby.

The president of La Liga looked at the increasing overseas ratings from the start of the game that night, and the whole person smiled.

Now it is Li Ang and Real Madrid who are deeply involved in the big market of China, and the entire La Liga league is following behind to drink soup.

But it's this soup that also holds up La Liga.

After all, La Liga is not like Li Ang, who is still picking endorsements, and there are many endorsement contracts with large amounts of money that are still being negotiated or rejected after considering it and feeling that it does not meet their own positioning.

La Liga is basically regarded as "those who come do not refuse", and the fathers of Huaguo's financiers give money happily, and their requirements are concise and clear, and all La Liga teams are greedy for it.

From this point alone, the existence of Li Ang has completely played a role in escorting the expansion and growth of La Liga in the East Asian market.

Even if it is not as good as the Premier League now, the growth rate of La Liga's brand value in China has entered a period of savage growth.

What rises every quarter is not a simple value index, but a pile of banknotes!

So some of the care of La Liga came naturally.

It's not about helping Real Madrid blow any black whistles and biased whistles, but to ensure that Real Madrid won't encounter some outrageous whistles.

Then at the Bernabeu, the home whistle that should be given is in place, and if you do this, La Liga will be very face-saving.

That was the case in today's Spanish national derby.

Referee Laos changed his style of "card master" and blew the game between the two teams on a looser scale from the beginning.

After the Real Madrid players tested Laos's style today, there was not much psychological pressure on the confrontation.

Barcelona's midfielders put pressure on the referee again after suffering several losses.

However, Laos is not used to it, and his penalty scale today is at this scale, which is applicable to Real Madrid's players and to Barcelona's players.

But if anyone wants to question his criteria, he wouldn't mind becoming a Card Master again.

Xavi was the first to see that something was wrong and quickly pulled Sergio Busquets and Alves away from the referee's side.

Alba, who was a beat slower, was directly called aside by Laos, and he took a verbal warning at the beginning with a confused face.

All the Barcelona players understood at this moment that Laos was killing chickens and monkeys!

Whoever dares to play the set of besieging the referee will probably really have to eat cards.

Movistar's commentator will also be blunt about the need for Barca's players to rein in their small moves.

It's normal for Real Madrid to get a home whistle at their home stadium, and didn't Barcelona also get the home whistle in the national derby at Camp Nou before?

So it's going to relax and focus on the game itself.

Vilanova also called on his players from the sidelines to stay calm.

Mourinho calmly signaled his disciples to continue to put pressure on Barcelona.

Laos has already given the standard of the penalty scale, so of course Real Madrid has to use it openly.

Strong confrontation, pressing defense, hitting counterattacks, and limiting Messi's play.

Real Madrid is waiting for Barcelona to start struggling in the tactical trap step by step, and finally loses the strength to resist!

In the last round of the national derby, the tactics developed by Guardiola to make Messi retreat are now impossible for Barcelona to play.

Because Modric was on the bench today, Leon played as the starting central midfielder, or rather, as a "free man" in the frontcourt.

The double midfielders are Matuidi and Alonso, so as soon as Leon came on the field today, he went to Messi who was hidden in the midfield!

Such a shameless tactical design that is to kill Barcelona's only explosive point really makes countless Barcelona fans anxious.

Li Ang chatted with Messi again, he was cheeky anyway, and Messi could only stare at him helplessly now.

What can be done, Barcelona now basically relies on Messi to break out alone on the offensive end to drive the forward.

He was entangled by Leon and could still break through the ball, but his teammates were not very good at finishing.

Originally, Villa was still very stable before, but his tactical position in Barcelona has declined year by year in recent years, and his state has long been much worse than before.

These long-standing problems have been plaguing Messi and Barcelona as a whole since the beginning of this season.

Messi's long-awaited Aguero did not come in the winter window, Guardiola left, and Barcelona did not make any reinforcements.

Villanova has also been unable to improve the forward problem since he took over.

It's a dead knot.

Other teams don't have defenders who can limit Messi's play one-on-one, so Barcelona are not very afraid in most games.

Messi is strong enough to support Barcelona's offensive system by himself.

But once they met Sevilla and Real Madrid, Barcelona was very difficult to play, because the two players Medel and Leon made Messi uncomfortable.

As soon as Messi was uncomfortable, Barcelona was constipated at the end of the attack, which was really okay.

After Real Madrid held firmly in the middle, as soon as he grabbed the ball, he played Barcelona's quick counterattack, which can be regarded as implementing the tactical plan formulated by Mu Shuai before the game.

As soon as the home fans at the Bernabeu saw that they were in control of the tempo of the game, the cheers never stopped.

This wave swept through the hearts of the Barcelona players wave after wave.

And Real Madrid's current mature style of play also makes it difficult for Barcelona to find an entry point to break the game.

Leon's growth rate is still amazing.

His flexible posture and extremely fast reaction speed allowed Messi to once again expend a lot of physical energy on the offensive end.

Li Ang did not have the slightest dissatisfaction with making tactical sacrifices, he was stronger, but his mentality was the same as before, and he was still stable.

In the thirty-seventh minute of the first half, Leon and the retreating Di Maria suddenly changed their targets and forced the defense against Iniesta, who also retreated!

Xiaobai's control of the ball was still stable, and he picked up the ball and passed it to Messi as soon as possible.

But this will follow the forward pressure of the top defense of Matuidi very alertly around the front to break the ball!

Leon pulled his position forward in the middle for the first time, and Matuidi's pass followed!

And when Busquets chose to target Di Maria, who was also forward, Leon sent a full amount of diagonal plug to his left side!

It's not Cristiano Ronaldo, it's Marcelo, who started the game in place of Coentrão!

Marcelo didn't get forward much for the first 35 minutes of the first half, and he played quite conservatively today.

He helped Matuidi to hold the left side of the defence well, withstanding the onslaught of Alves and Sanchez.

Many fans thought that Marcelo had honestly followed Mourinho's instructions today and would stick to the left side like Coentrão.

As a result, Marcelo's aggressive and decisive forward still shattered their speculation.

Needless to say, Ronaldo's containment ability is needless to say, Alves, who is chasing back, and Mascherano, who is pulling the side, will both force Ronaldo who is cutting in.

As a result, Marcelo did not seek cooperation with Ronaldo after he was in place, but crossed directly to Benzema in the penalty area!

This is also the first time that Benzema grabbed the ball in the Barcelona penalty area!

Pique is ready to compete with Karim Benzema and he has that confidence.

It's a pity that Marcelo passed a half-high ball this time.

The attacker is not easy to deal with, and the defender is not easy to deal with!

Pique was pondering whether to half-raise his leg to block the ball out of the penalty area, but Benzema had already decisively taken the lead in the position, and then confidently chose to half-turn and volley!

It's a very difficult shot to choose from.

But Benzema is confident in his nose, technique and physical condition in front of goal!

And just one second later, the football that was drawn and quickly crossed the line and hit the net also completely stunned Valdés!

A fantastic goal from Ruud van Nistelrooy was on the scene at the Bernabeu again!

And Ronaldo, who has always been calm, didn't hold back this time, his eyes widened, he covered his forehead with a smile, and looked at Benzema with a look in his eyes as if to say:

"Feelings, you kid just leave happiness in the usual league, playing such a tough battle?"

Li Ang was also in a good mood and chased Guo Feng all the way to the corner flag area!

In terms of the efficiency of this finish, how to defend the back, how to fight with Barcelona's midfield, Real Madrid's midfielders are all down-to-earth!

With a one-goal lead in hand, all the players on the field of Real Madrid waved their fists in celebration!

Guo Feng's head was also patted by his teammates, but he didn't feel it at all, grinning more happily than anyone else.

The Barcelona players are starting to panic.

Because they have experienced this scene too many times in the past two years.

As long as Real Madrid takes the lead first, the defensive counterattack can be fought to the end, torturing all the Barcelona players to the point of losing confidence.

Therefore, the result of the defeat to Real Madrid is always very uncomfortable for the Barcelona players.

Not just because of losing to a sworn enemy, but also because this way of losing is complete torture.

After half-time, Vilanova made a bold decision.

He has to take the initiative to attack, replace defense with attack, and can't let Real Madrid drag the pace of the game into a situation that is unfavorable to Barcelona.

But at the beginning of the second half, Barcelona faced a midfield that Real Madrid almost conceded on their own initiative.

Mourinho actually didn't expect Barcelona to choose to press heavily at the beginning of the second half.

He just devised a tactic to seduce Barcelona's midfielders to press out, and then wait for an opportunity to continue to play Barcelona's counterattack.

However, now Barcelona's complete disregard for the defense of the big soldier is also in line with the minds of Mourinho and Real Madrid players.

Their false retreat becomes a real retreat.

On the deployment of the middle line, even if Essien didn't play today, Alonso, Leon, and Matuidi's three back combinations were swinged.

The sweep interception capability is also among the top in Europe.

Barcelona wants to attack, Real Madrid is not afraid at all, Leon and Matuidi are full of firepower, and they do not care about the crazy pressure of Barcelona's ball-holding personnel without regard to physical consumption.

Of course, the focus of Leon's care is still on Messi.

In the chaos, Messi got more opportunities to play than in the first half, but he couldn't stand Real Madrid, who would pile up people to defend in front of the defensive third zone.

Even if Messi's mid-to-long-range shooting ability is very good, it is impossible for him to shoot at will from a distance of more than 30 meters from the goal.

With the referee's whistle blowing scale relatively loose today, Real Madrid's physical confrontation and defensive pressure are quite sufficient.

Barcelona were stunned to get only one shot on goal in the first twenty minutes of the second half!

Or from Messi's free kick direct attempt at goal.

Without the slightest chance of shooting in an athletic battle, Real Madrid's back three half-court defense was so solid that it almost suffocated Barcelona fans!

Messi reluctantly entered the "lone hero" mode in advance.

And this was also the beginning of Barcelona's rout.

Because Messi's strong burst will inevitably begin to increase the probability of losing the ball, but Barcelona's midfielder can no longer give Messi a cover and help Messi regain the ball.

Xavi and Andres Iniesta's physical fitness is depleted very quickly, purely by Real Madrid's midfield.

Their supplementary defense was not in place, and Busquets's delayed defense was in vain, because Real Madrid's counterattackers directly bypassed him to play on both sides, and Busquets was extremely helpless.

As soon as the game got to this point, Barcelona completely lost control of the pace of the game.

Real Madrid's counterattack was more ferocious than the other.

In the 77th minute of the second half, when Di Maria was in full shape and forced Alba to burst into the Barcelona penalty area, Pique finally couldn't hold back his emotions and put Di Maria down with the ball!

This is a very irrational defensive move.

Pique received a yellow card, and what made Barcelona fans even more desperate was the referee's penalty for Real Madrid!

Ronaldo didn't hesitate at all, and kicked the ball into the middle of the goal, completely deceiving Valdés!

The 2-0 score basically declared the suspense of the game gone.

When stoppage time ended, after the referee on duty blew the whistle for the end of the game, Xavi's legs went limp, and he began to pant for air with his legs.

Messi looked at Li Ang, who was still smiling happily and came over to change his jersey, and could only smile helplessly and complete the exchange of jerseys with Li Ang.

However, this time, the two did not make another appointment after the game.

Messi is not in the mood, and Leon wants to celebrate with his teammates at a time.

After the 2-0 victory over Barcelona, Real Madrid successfully completed the pre-match goal and also completed the league performance goal at this stage!

As the league was on high cheers, Real Madrid also faced Arsenal in the second leg of the quarter-final after a four-day break.

Real Madrid, who are at the home of the Bernabeu, still put on a defensive posture first.

Throughout the first half, Real Madrid did not launch any decent attack against Arsenal.

After defending the half, Real Madrid played a counter-attack in the second half.

Arsenal will no longer care about the defensive line at the back and start to press on the whole line to do a desperate attack.

Real Madrid took advantage of the opportunity for Cristiano Ronaldo to score a counter-attacking goal, and Arsenal also scored a goal in the 81st minute of the second half from a corner by Mertesacker.

But at this moment, the aggregate score has come to 4-1, and Arsenal's counterattack has no physical support, and can only get a face-saving 1-1 draw at the Bernabeu.

So far, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, and Real Madrid have taken the lead in entering the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League.

Manchester United returned to their home stadium and beat Shakhtar Donetsk 2-1 and reluctantly went into extra time with the opposition.

Fortunately, in the overtime period, Nani was very powerful, and even made a foul and almost broke the left side of Donetsk's defense.

In the second half of extra time, which was also the 113th minute of the game, Nani crossed to help Van Persie score a stunning goal!

In the end, after 120 minutes of fierce battle, Manchester United defeated Shakhtar Donetsk 3-1 at home, 4-3 on aggregate, and also entered the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League!

On March 9 and March 10, the 27th round of La Liga began, with Barcelona and Real Madrid both winning their respective competitions, with a narrow 2-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna and a 1-0 win over Celta.

On the evening of March 12, the two rounds of the Champions League quarterfinals started at the same time, and the most eye-catching battle between Barcelona and Milan started at the Camp Nou.

And the result was just as Leon had guessed.

Milan, who couldn't play the nerve knife attack, was pressed to the midfield by Barcelona.

Messi and Villa each scored twice to complete a four-goal victory over Milan and advance to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Schalke 04 lost at home to Galatasaray and could only stop in the last 16 of this season's Champions League.

On the night of March 13, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund both battled for 90 minutes and finally won 2-0 against their respective opponents.

This season's Champions League quarter-finals are also freshly released.

Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Barcelona, Galatasaray.

Here is the strength of Grand Paris and Galatasaray, which are slightly weaker, and the rest of the teams are traditional European giants.

If there is a choice, the six stronger teams will definitely want to draw Grand Paris or Galatasaray to play the next round of knockouts.

It's a pity, UEFA just likes to do things.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich have all been drawn into different halves.

Among them, Real Madrid vs. Manchester United, Dortmund vs. Galatasaray, four teams in the top half.

Bayern vs. Juventus, Barcelona vs. Paris Saint-Germain, these four teams are in the bottom half.

As soon as the draw came out, the fans of Real Madrid and Manchester United fell silent.

However, in Real Madrid's intra-team chat group, Li Ang is still as confident as ever.

He even issued a new slogan:

Our goal is to destroy the Premier League this season!
