Before the Champions League quarter-finals with Bayern Munich begin, Real Madrid still needs to play the 31st round of La Liga against Deportivo La Coruna.

Because Ancelotti has rotated most of the main players in the team in the last round of the league against Leganes, and considering that after the 31st round of the league, Real Madrid still has a full 4 days of rest.

Therefore, on the afternoon of April 7, it was Real Madrid who went to challenge Deportivo La Coruna away from home.

This really made the whole team of Deportivo sweat.

Facing Real Madrid, who are all in the starting line-up, what difference does it make if they have home advantage in this round of the league?

Do you expect them, the fifth-to-last relegation team in La Liga, to fight back against the European hegemons who are the first in the league?

I'm sorry, they really can't do it...

This can't blame Deportivo La Coruna's whole team for being cowardly before fighting, after all, the gap in strength between them and Real Madrid is too big.

The success of the challenge to Real Madrid is certainly desirable, but such a task – which the remaining 19 La Liga teams, including Deportivo La Coruna have tried, has also failed.

And Real Madrid's terrifying record of 29 wins and 1 draw is like a towering mountain, pressing on the head of the entire La Liga league, bringing constant pressure to the remaining 19 La Liga teams.

The psychological burden made Deportivo like Leganes, who faced Real Madrid in the last round of the league, opted for a conservative style of play from the beginning of the game.

Such an act is tantamount to turning the Stadio riasso into a tactical training ground for Real Madrid to attack.

An Fat watched the almost one-sided game scene on the sidelines, and there was nothing to worry about, and after a few turns of his back, he sat down in the coach's seat.

Real Madrid's offensive unfolded quite smoothly, after all, there was no midfield scramble, and Leon and Modric took turns to deliver the ball to the wings.

The ensuing scene is as if a strong adult man has split his arms and beaten a child in turn.

The child, who was already thin and weak, was able to hold up twice at first, but soon showed more defensive flaws, and if he was beaten and did not fight back, it was only a matter of time before he was beaten and lay on the ground.

Li Ang showed a very calm performance in the midfield today, and the defensive organization was full of general's style, but there was not much interest in attacking.

Many neutral fans couldn't help but joke when they watched this scene, saying that Leon didn't kill Deportivo for the sake of Master Belleron today.

Otherwise, as far as Leang's super performance of two passes and two shots against Leganes in the last round of the league, Deportivo La Coruna, who is weaker today, will have to score three goals alone.

In the end, Leon did not obtain any personal data during the battle with A Coruña.

The whole Real Madrid team also seemed to be holding back, and after scoring three goals against Deportivo La Coruna, they slowed down the tempo and stopped in attack.

It can be said that before the big battle with Bayern began, Real Madrid was equivalent to a training match with good results in the league.

The opponent's strength is weaker, but when it is used as training, it is just right, and the main players did not consume too much physical energy, and maintained the game state, which is simply the best of both worlds~

In contrast, Bayern's side is in trouble, because they happened to meet league rivals Borussia Dortmund before the big game against Real Madrid, and an all-out battle is naturally indispensable.

Even though Bayern won 4-2 at home to Borussia Dortmund in the end, the last thing Bayern fans wanted was the situation.

Lewandowski was substituted in the second half of the game against Dort due to injury, and this result directly turned Bayern's victory into a miserable victory.

You must know that Bayern's whole team is now Lewandowski, a positive center, and as soon as Lewandowski is injured, Bayern can only temporarily put Muller on the front line.

Muller can play as a centre-forward, but certainly not as effectively as he does as a midfielder.

This also makes the upcoming European derby win rate a little more inclined to Real Madrid's side.

On the afternoon of April 11, the whole Real Madrid team left for Munich ahead of schedule.

At the same time, Bayern coach Mateo Kovac also confirmed in an interview with reporters that Lewandowski will not be able to play in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round quarter-finals.

Mateo Kovac, who was also with him in the pre-match press conference, repeatedly expressed his determination to beat Real Madrid at home.

But to be honest, the loss of the big man before the big game made it really difficult for Bayern fans to raise confidence.

Originally, Bayern had a big gap with Real Madrid in terms of hard power because of the aging of the lineup, and if one of the main center forwards was removed, the gap would naturally be even greater.

Real Madrid, who benefited from this, were rather low-key after arriving in Munich.

After finishing the work of stepping on the Allianz Stadium, all the Real Madrid members honestly returned to the hotel to rest.

On the morning of the second day, Real Madrid also completed the last practice before the match in a low-key manner at the training ground provided by the Munich 1860 club.

None of the reporters sent by the German media were able to obtain permission from any Real Madrid player to cover the game before the game.

The unusually low profile and silence of the opponent only exacerbated the worries of Bayern fans.

On the evening of April 12th, under the expectation and watchful eyes of all the people, a group of superstars of Real Madrid appeared at the Allianz Arena in Munich!

Bale, Leon, Benzema, Ronaldo, Modric, Casemiro, Ramos......

One after another, superstars with super popularity and appeal in today's football world have started the final warm-up before the game.

The Meilinger from all over the world who watched the live broadcast in advance in front of the TV were also very down-to-earth at the moment.

With these Real Madrid players on the pitch, they don't need to envy any team in football, and they have every reason to believe that their players can win any tough game!

That confidence is built on Real Madrid's hearty win after win this season.

It is also based on the classic example of Real Madrid in the middle of the season, even if it was in difficult adversity, and finally relied on the tenacious spirit and will of the whole team to turn the tables around!

In contrast, Bayern have won the league this season too well.

Perhaps Bayern's stars still have a tenacious spirit of the game, and they also think they can rely on home advantage to beat Real Madrid without Lewandowski.

But today's FC Bayern fans at home are a little "quiet".

The cheers are still there, and the boos for the Real Madrid players are still the same, but the momentum is not as good as the Allianz Stadium in Leon's impression...

Time passed quickly, and it was soon time for the players of both teams to finish their warm-up and return to the locker room for the final mobilization.

The head coaches of both teams have also completed the final deployment before the game, and there is no chance for unnecessary adjustments, and there is no way out.

The players of both teams soon stepped onto the pitch under the guidance of the referee team, and as most media speculated before the game, Kovac did not do much tactical work, and still honestly put Muller in the center forward position.

The "Robery" also continued to start.

The only tactical change was in the forward midfield position that Muller had previously played, and Kovac chose to put Vidal on top this time as an all-round B2B player, and also make full use of the Chilean's impact in midfield.

The back-to-back duo is made up of Thiago and Javi Martinez.

At the back, Boateng was still partnered by Hummels, with Alaba and Lahm flanking the duo to the left and right.

Starting goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.

Real Madrid is also focusing on stability today, and most of the positions have not been transferred as the main personnel.

It was only in the selection of the starting right winger that Carlo Ancelotti chose to let Isco start today, while Bale stayed on the bench.

Such a starting selection can't help but make many reporters at the scene speculate, is it that Bale had some slight injury before the game?

Otherwise, it's really hard to explain the reason why Ancelotti is arranging his troops like this today...

Many fans in front of the TV also had question marks in their minds, but at the moment, the starting choice has been decided, and they don't have much time to guess Bale's situation.

At 19:45 Munich time that night, the European derby between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich started on time!

Bayern, who took the lead in kick-off, was not afraid of the threat of Real Madrid's counterattack, and pressed heavily at the beginning, and soon launched a ferocious offensive in the passionate cheers of the home fans!

And today's Real Madrid also seems to be a bit abnormal, and did not go toe-to-toe with Bayern, seeking more counter-attacking opportunities.

On the contrary, he laid multiple defensive lines in his own half steadily, and put on a posture of trying Bayern's offensive strength first.

This kind of gesture of showing weakness first, but the neutral fans who watched it were confused.

But the Bayern players on the field can't care so much, Real Madrid dares to let them attack?

Then they will play a more ferocious offensive!

All of a sudden, it seemed that all that was left on the Allianz Stadium was the scene of Bayern players attacking aggressively and the cheers of Bayern fans becoming more and more open.

Leon was unmoved on the pitch, still teaming up with Casemiro to strangle Bayern's attack penetration after attack.

Compared with previous years, whether it is Ribery or Robben, the breakthrough speed is much slower, but their breakthrough threat is not reduced at all.

There's a lot more experience and a change of pace that makes both Marcelo and Carvajal a bit unguardable.

And the breakthrough from the two of them became Bayern's most threatening attacking opportunity in the first 20 minutes.

Vidal, who came in from behind, unleashed three long-range shots and was involved in a number of aerial duels in the Real Madrid penalty area.

Combined with Muller's several threatening interspersed runs and grabbing shots, Bayern's offensive cannot be said to be thunder and rain, it is a real threat to Real Madrid's goal!

The scene of their own team playing such a passive game, it is the first time that the Meilinge have seen it this season, and they will of course be a little panicked.

However, just when Bayern's offensive weakened slightly in the first half, Real Madrid also seized the opportunity to break the ball at the back and played the first quick counterattack of the game.

This time the counter-attack was initiated by Sergio Ramos, whose long ball directly from the back swept across the midfield and found Isco on the wing of Bayern's half.

At first glance, this is not a good counter-attacking opportunity, as Isco is still marked by Boateng behind him, and Alaba is also quickly chasing back at the moment.

Isco happens to be not known for his breakthrough speed, so many Melinger are even frustrated at this moment that the ball is about to change hands again.

But it was in this seemingly unfavorable situation that Isco quickly gave all Melinger a big surprise!

Yes, compared to Bale, he is not known for his breakthrough speed, but his dribbling, ball protection and passing ability are also unmatched by Bale.

Boateng thought that his pressing defense would make Isco lose his attacking position quickly, but he didn't expect Isco's next handicap to be so stable!

Steady enough to carry his kick confrontation and protect the ball firmly at his feet!

This caused a bad thought to quickly rise in Boateng's heart.

But at this moment it was too late for him to retreat into the box.

Because Isco used a deft half-turn to get away from his and Alaba guards, and then quickly distributed the ball to the feet of Leang, who was inserted in the middle!

Here it comes!

Real Madrid's really quick counter-attack was a wake-up call for Bayern's backline at this moment!

Isco alone attracted two Bayern defenders, and at the moment in the Bayern penalty area are only Hummels and Martinez, who was cautiously placed in advance!

Benzema raised his hand diagonally, forcing Hummels and Martinez to retreat to the right side of the penalty area first.

But then, the last pass sent by Leon made Neuer, who was still commanding his teammates, sink to the bottom!

"Leon has passed! Bayern's left side of the penalty area!! ”

In the passionate roar of commentators from all over the world, I saw that the over-the-top through ball sent by Li Ang and Ronaldo's sprint into the Bayern penalty area were almost perfectly matched!

Rahm couldn't stop it, and in the end he could only passively jump with Ronaldo to fight for the top.

But his defensive distractions didn't work for Ronaldo in the slightest!

Ronaldo completed the header attack with a strong blow, and the football finally entered the goal behind him with the palm of his first save under the unwilling gaze of Neuer!

"The ball is in! The first counter-attack attempt from Real Madrid in this game and the first shot on goal for Bayern! 1-0！ Real Madrid successfully knocked on Bayern's door with an extremely efficient counter-attack!! ”

The world doesn't know how many Real Madrid fans are raising their arms and chanting at this moment with the passionate voice of the commentator!

They really obeyed the opening tactics that Ancelotti laid out today!

What about being passive?

They just scored first!
