A heart-wrenching reversal battle is enough to make the morale of the reversing team rise from the bottom to the peak, and it is also enough to completely destroy the morale of the reversed team!

At this moment, the Real Madrid players on the field are united around the three core of the team who are leading this reversal battle.

They are imposing and scrappy, and it seems that they will no longer be afraid of any difficulties they may encounter in the field in the future!

As the reversed side, Villarreal is demoralized at the moment, and the state is low and difficult to boost.

After all, they had a perfect start of 2-0 before, but they did not seize the opportunity to maintain the lead, but were reversed by Real Madrid step by step to make it 2-3!

The deficit in the score is nothing for the time being, and the heavy blow to the mentality is a more serious punishment for this Villarreal team!

Morale plummeted, and no one wanted to step up and cheer up at the moment, and Villarreal's players had to go their separate ways, and in the end they suffered a heavy blow.

Isco, who came on as a substitute, went through two non-stop passes with Leon and Benzema in the 86th minute of the second half, and then received the ball into the Villarreal penalty area and scored again with a low shot!

The final score was fixed at 4-2.

Real Madrid refused to roll over and dominated a shocking comeback away from home, taking down Villarreal, the hard stubble on the way to the league.

After withstanding this round of the league, Real Madrid's opponents in the next two rounds of intensive La Liga matches are relatively average.

They are Las Palmas, who are currently 13th in La Liga, and Eibar, who are eighth in La Liga.

Looking at the quality of the teams alone, it is difficult for either team to pose a real threat to Real Madrid.

But the lesson of almost overturning in the first game with Villarreal can be regarded as a wake-up call for the whole Real Madrid team.

The strength of the opponent may not be very good, but in the world of football, there are too many strong teams that have been overturned because of carelessness.

They must also be careful in the sprint to the championship of the season!

The importance of vigilance cannot be overemphasized!

After a two-day break for Villarreal, Real Madrid hosted Las Palmas at home.

In this round of the league, Ancelotti still chose not to rotate the main players for the sake of insurance.

But fortunately, in the previous schedule, Real Madrid's rotation work was relatively in place.

Therefore, even if it is necessary to rotate in the sprint stage, these main stars of Real Madrid will not feel too much pressure.

At 20:30 Madrid time that night, the 25th round of La Liga started on time.

I don't know if it was Villarreal who almost overturned Real Madrid in the last round of the league, and the feat gave confidence to the whole team of Las Palmas.

So much so that they were very brave at the beginning of today's game and grabbed the start with Real Madrid.

This kind of away game, especially in the face of Real Madrid, dares not to put the bus out to play, of course, it is very popular with Real Madrid players.

Compared to the ability to control the midfield, Las Palmas is far from being a match for Real Madrid.

After Leon and Casemiro teamed up to break the ball, Real Madrid calmly used the technical advantage of the midfield to break up Las Palmas's high pressing.

The high oppression of Las Palmas can only be described as vain.

Their ability to create defensive strong sides in local areas of the court is seriously lacking, and their physical fitness is even more mediocre, and they are completely unable to support high-intensity continuous pressing play.

So when the players in Real Madrid's midfield and back were not yet "happy", Las Palmas broke up the so-called high-pressing offensive by himself.

The Real Madrid fans who watched the home stadium in this game couldn't help laughing.

Coming and going, Las Palmas finished their attacking trio, and then it was Real Madrid's turn to launch an attacking trial.

And Las Palmas did not directly hand over the control of the midfield, but fought hard with Real Madrid in the midfield area before decisively shrinking the formation.

At this time, Las Palmas's lineup changed from 4141 when he played high press in the opening game to 451 flexibly.

As soon as Leon saw it, he immediately felt that Las Palmas, the head coach Setien, still had some ability, and he was prepared!

But after taking the lead in holding the ball and trying the defensive strength of Las Palmas in the midfield, Leon felt that this Setien was not very capable of much.

The tactics of piling up people in the middle are not new, and the rare point is that the strength and level of stacking defense are stacked.

Like Atletico Madrid, they also play five midfielders. Now in football, only Chelsea and Real Madrid's attacking groups can still gnaw on.

Barcelona and Bayern can only achieve a winning rate of five to five against Atletico Madrid, but if Atletico Madrid scores first, it will basically be a hellish situation of 19 open.

Las Palmas' midfield five were the same as the high pressing tactics they used in the opening stages.

It looks bluffing, but in fact, there is only one midfielder who can do the job of dragging and intercepting, and he can't play the longitudinal defensive thickness of the back three at all.

Horizontal pressing doesn't cover enough area, at least for Leon, who wants to penetrate such a midfield defence, and it is relatively easy to establish a passing link with his own strikers.

However, in order to avoid the unbelievable conceding situation in the last league, Li Ang was not in a hurry to command his teammates to press hard, and still played at a steady pace.

Even after Real Madrid completely took control of the midfield, he simply handed over the attacking organization of the midfield to his partner Luka Modric.

In addition to attacking forward, he spent more energy on intercepting and defending.

The effect of his tactical choices was obvious, and Las Palmas looked at the ball from the midfield to death, making it difficult to play an effective counter-attack.

Under Modric's calm scheduling, Real Madrid's offensive also carried out very smoothly, and the balance of the game was broken early in the 23rd minute of the first half.

It was not any striker in the BBC group who opened the score, but Marcelo, the "fourth winger" in Real Madrid's starting line-up!

Ma Pompong was quite active in attack today, and Ronaldo has repeatedly tucked in positions to free up space for his wide partner.

The player who can make Ronaldo take the initiative to give way on the offensive end can be said to be his "true love".

And Marcelo, who received a lot of attacking balls, did not disappoint his teammates.

His sudden inward choice and decisive volley caught the Las Palmas defenders by surprise.

And after this goal, Real Madrid's follow-up attack was even smoother.

Las Palmas veteran goalkeeper Varras became the most sympathetic player in the game.

At the end of the game, the goal he was guarding was pierced six times, and he was really numb!

Li Ang saw that the opponent's goalkeeper was already so miserable, so he didn't have much desire to attack, and he only got one assist after the whole game.

But his 13 effective interceptions on the defensive end have blinded the fans.

This is also a new record for the number of effective tackles per game in La Liga this season.

But if you look at the four major leagues, Li Ang's thirteen steals in a single game can only rank second.

Because not long ago, Kante played a perfect defensive statistic of 14 steals in a single game in the Premier League!

In terms of defensive efficiency, N'Golo Kante and Nemanja Matic are definitely the best in football this season.

The combination of Leon and Casemiro is better balanced in attack and defence.

But when it comes to defense, Leon doesn't care for the time being, Casemiro is still half a step behind in defensive ability compared to the peak Matic and Kante.

However, even if N'Golo Kante has ushered in a burst of defensive statistics at Chelsea this season, it is logical that he has become the most powerful ball-grabbing machine in the entire Premier League.

But the vast majority of fans will still vote for "the strongest defensive midfielder in football" for Leon.

Maybe some of the fans will give a more professional judgment and analysis, but I have to say that the two Golden Ball awards in Leon's hands now have added too many impression points to him.

Of course, after Leon returned to Real Madrid this season, the improvement of Real Madrid's defensive hardness in the midfield and back has also been seen by fans all over the world.

He is now the "Dinghai Shen Needle" in the hearts of the Real Madrid coaching staff and all Meilinger.

With him, Real Madrid's lower limit for every game is as reassuring as if it is guaranteed.

And he has naturally become the unique core of Real Madrid's sprint to the pitch.

Whether it is on the offensive or defensive end, who makes Real Madrid's superstars the only one who does not need to take turns and can play steadily?

After the 6-0 thrashing of Las Palmas, the Real Madrid coaching staff rested most of their key players in preparation for the Champions League knockout round six days later.

Leon continued to prepare for the game with his substitute teammates, ushering in the 26th round of La Liga with Eibar.

Real Madrid played away from home, and the 7,000-seat Ipria Municipal Stadium, the home stadium of Eibar, which is as small as the city of Eibar, can be regarded as an eye-opener for Leon.

When he played in La Liga, Eibar was in the Spanish Confederation Second Division, and later after he left Real Madrid, Eibar was promoted to La Liga.

So this is the first time Leon has played at Eibar's home stadium, and the Ipurua Town Stadium is also the smallest football stadium Leon has seen since his debut in La Liga.

However, although the home stadium is small, the momentum created by the die-hard Eibar fans at the scene is not small at all.

Currently in the top 10 of La Liga, Eibar is not timid against Real Madrid today, playing aggressively and bravely, but not too risky.

Having learned the lessons of the Las Palmas fiasco, Eibar is undoubtedly an "interesting" opponent.

But the arrogant Real Madrid they imagined did not appear, and under the organization and transfer of Leon, Real Madrid played equally steadily and cautiously today.

Vazquez and Isco, who had a rare chance to start, were very active on both wings.

Throughout the first half, Real Madrid was almost in pursuit of absolute control of the midfield, and there was basically only one player in front of him, Asensio, who played as a pseudo-center forward.

Real Madrid didn't want to make mistakes, and Eibar didn't want to concede a goal because of his recklessness, so neither team was cautious enough to launch a sustained ferocious attack.

Neither team was able to break the deadlock at half-time and the score remained 0-0.

It wasn't until the start of the second half of the game that Real Madrid's Leon and James completed the switch and played as the central midfielder, and Real Madrid's offensive officially began!

It was Leon who took the lead with the ball, and compared to Hames, his dribbling push was more threatening.

In the face of Real Madrid's opening offensive, Eibar's defense was obviously a little lacking.

Leon scored twice in quick succession, and his volley from outside the box earned Real Madrid their first corner of the second half.

Because Pepe and Ramos are both suspended today, Real Madrid's entire central midfield is basically only Varane's high point.

But just when all the Eibar defenders thought that Isco, who was the main penalty corner, would go straight to Varane and Leon, he took a tactical corner that hung to the top of the Eibar penalty area!

In the football landing area, Hames, who had already opened his bow and arrows, chose to volley directly without stopping the ball!

This volley is powerful!

Eibar's starting goalkeeper, Rodriguez, with his rich experience, predicted the direction of James James' shot and slapped the ball out with great difficulty!

But in the next moment, Li Ang, who squeezed away the Eibar defenders, stretched out his foot in time to block!

The football flew to the goal again, and Rodriguez, who had landed at the moment, was already powerless to make a second save.

Goal in, 1-0!

Li Ang stepped forward again and stabilized the morale of the army with a goal when the whole team was in the big rotation!

Eibar paid the price for their cautious conservatism, and in the face of Real Madrid, who directly shrunk the formation after scoring and made it clear that they were going to play defensive counterattacks, Eibar could only harden his head.

As a result, Real Madrid once again extended their lead with their skillful counter-attacking efficiency, but the tenacious Eibar also scored a face-saving goal at home.

3-1, Real Madrid won again away from home and continued to consolidate their huge lead in the league ahead of the second round of the Champions League knockout game against Borussia Dortmund.

On the evening of March 7, Real Madrid, sitting at home, welcomed Dortmund, who had a back-to-back battle.

The huge disadvantage of falling behind by four goals in the first leg has actually made Dortmund fans not hope for a comeback in the second leg.

They only hope that their players can regain their dignity, at least to play with momentum and style at Real Madrid's home stadium.

The Hornets players were in a similar vein, with Thomas Tuchel finally deciding not to do anything after a tactical defeat in the first leg.

Honest arrangement, honest attacking tactics, Dortmund had no other tricks, pressed with all their might from the beginning of the game, and only thought about scoring early.

And Real Madrid naturally can't always be passive at home, and is still very active in seizing counterattack opportunities.

Both teams didn't choose to be conservative today, and of course the game was quite good, at least in terms of offensive and defensive tempo, and both teams were very happy with the fans who followed the game.

Dortmund were the first to open the scoring, but in the sixth minute after they scored, Real Madrid held their ground and equalised from a set-piece!

After that, Real Madrid seized the opportunity of Dortmund's heavy pressure and scored two goals in a row through a quick counter-attack to further extend their lead.

Borussia Dortmund pulled one back in the 68th minute of the second half.

It was the last goal of the game, and the final score was fixed at 3-2.

Real Madrid won both legs, and the final score was 7-2 Dortmund on aggregate, and they entered the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League with a slaughtering two-legged scoreline!

The tragedy at Borussia Dortmund was a wake-up call for other continental giants.

Real Madrid's strength has also made more fans look forward to the final battle of Real Madrid vs Chelsea that is likely to be staged in this year's Champions League.

With the official end of the Champions League 1/8 knockout round, the newly released Champions League quarterfinals are waiting for the draw ceremony.

During this period, Real Madrid sat at home and played another round of La Liga with Real Betis.

In a small 2-0 victory, Li Ang also scored a brace for the first time in a long time, and played a leading role in the offensive end.

On March 17, the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League officially began.

And when Real Madrid was drawn in the first round of the draw ceremony, and was finally arranged by UEFA to fight against Bayern, I don't know how many people gasped at the draw scene and in front of the TV!

The "European Derby" is going to start again, or in the knockout round of eight into four!

Bayern and Real Madrid are old acquaintances in the Champions League in recent years, and Leon is even more familiar with Bayern's players.

may be precisely because of this familiarity, so Li Ang did not have any "softness" in his whole work on social media this time.

On the night of March 17, Li Ang updated his social media dynamics, without any text, only a picture of the Grim Reaper with the Real Madrid team emblem on his head carrying a sickle and constantly knocking on the door of the dressing room.

And next to the Dortmund dressing room, which has been washed in the blood of death and opened the door, it happens to be Bayern Munich, the king of the South!
