Real Madrid, who have easily made it past Bayern, have set their sights on the final of the Champions League.

And fans are also more and more convinced that this year's UEFA script is to let Real Madrid and Chelsea play the final match.

Look at the teams that finally reached the last four of the Champions League with these two teams, one Atletico Madrid and the other Monaco, no matter how you look at it, it is more like a stepping stone to the protagonist of the final.

Even if their fans have never given up hope of promotion and expect the team to explode and play miracles, it is an indisputable fact that they are underestimated.

On April 21, the draw ceremony for the semi-finals of the 2016-2017 Champions League was held in Nyon, Switzerland.

And under the witness of countless fans and the media, UEFA also separated Real Madrid and Chelsea, the two favorite teams, in the semi-finals.

Real Madrid drew Atletico Madrid again, and the Champions League semi-finals will be staged again in the Madrid derby, while the super dark horse Monaco will meet Chelsea.

Atletico Madrid's supporters are powerless to complain about the results of such a draw, and they really want to say to their rival Real Madrid in disgust at the moment:

How are you guys again!

Monaco fans are in a much better mood, after all, the team's ability to reach the last four of the Champions League this season has greatly exceeded their expectations.

When Monaco reached the knockout stages of the Champions League, every step forward was a surprise for them.

At this stage, unless Atletico Madrid is drawn, it will be the same for Monaco if Chelsea or Real Madrid are drawn, and the probability of them meeting these two teams to advance is too low.

Real Madrid and Chelsea supporters have no problem with the draw and it's up to them to see who can beat their opponents to the final with less attrition......

Because the league has won the championship in advance, Real Madrid will basically let the "second team" play next to play most of the remaining La Liga matches.

Real Madrid's main players only use the league to "warm up" before the Champions League starts.

In the national derby against Barcelona on April 23, the Real Madrid coaching staff sent a rotating line-up to play.

Carlo Ancelotti was very generous, and directly revealed the starting 11 in the pre-match press conference.

Barcelona also have nothing to say, their hopes of winning the title are dashed, and there is no difference between second and third in the league for them.

And Real Madrid has already made it clear that they are going to send substitutes to play, and they are not thick-skinned enough to send all the main players to the Bernabeu.

So the national derby of the day was somewhat boring.

Real Madrid and Barcelona sent their respective rotational line-ups to fight at the Bernabeu, and in the end, the two teams only played to a 1-1 draw.

Of course, neither before nor after the game, Barcelona did not line up to greet Real Madrid.

This, of course, gave many local media in Madrid a reason to attack Barcelona's behavior.

On April 26, Real Madrid went to the Riazor Stadium to challenge Deportivo La Coruna, and the Real Madrid coaching staff in this league was directly regarded as a warm-up match before the start of the Champions League semifinals.

Real Madrid's main players all played, but the practice was not offensive tactics, but defense + field control.

After the game was played at full-time, Real Madrid only beat Deportivo La Coruna 2-0, and it didn't look very excited.

Ancelotti's tactical arrangement has left the outside media a little confused.

Many pro-Atletico media outlets have even speculated that Real Madrid are setting off tactical smoke bombs.

Simeone is somewhat unclear at this time, but in the end he decided to brake quietly, no matter how Real Madrid changes, he will lead Atletico Madrid to stand on the defensive and try to drag Real Madrid into the final extra-time quagmire!

This is also a more favorable tactical approach for Atletico.

This year's Atletico Madrid players are more physical, and Simeone is not worried about being dragged to exhaustion by Real Madrid in the past season.

In the end, if the game can be dragged smoothly into extra-time, or even a penalty shoot-out, it will be the real good news for Atletico.

In this way, they can greatly develop their strengths and avoid being worn to death on the field by Real Madrid with their technical advantages.

Simeone, who was prepared for everything, looked confident in an interview.

Real Madrid also successfully completed the tactical preparations before the big game.

On the afternoon of April 29, the 35th round of La Liga started, and both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid chose to send pure substitute lineups in this round of the league.

On the evening of May 2, the first leg of the much-anticipated Champions League semi-finals officially began!

Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid took the lead at the Bernabeu, and Atletico Madrid did put on a pragmatic anti-counter posture as most of the media predicted before the game.

However, Real Madrid surprisingly did not play a positive attacking rhythm directly.

Atletico Madrid is very stable, but Real Madrid at home looks more stable, and the one-handed control of the field directly makes Atletico Madrid's players scratch their heads, and even makes Simeone sitting on the field full of doubts.

If it were another team, Simeone might have to change his tactics now and try to score an away goal first.

But in the face of Real Madrid, who "pitted" him the most, Simeone became hesitant, and the Atletico Madrid players on the field were always in the half, watching Real Madrid's ball control performance, and they didn't dare to press from a high position to press.

So under the rapid passage of game time, the first half of this game ended very strangely 0-0, and the quality of the game can only be said to be average, anyway, it will definitely not satisfy neutral fans.

Many fans in front of the TV originally thought that Real Madrid would definitely take the initiative to attack in the second half.

After all, Real Madrid has used this style of play many times before, confusing the opponent in the first half, and then reaping it in the second half.

As a result, when the second half of the game really started, Real Madrid still looked like an old god, and they didn't want to take the initiative to attack at all!

And what is even more unexpected for neutral fans is that Simeone really held back!

Real Madrid did not attack in the whole game, and he did not direct the players to take the initiative to attack, so he played a whole "tacit understanding game" with Real Madrid.

So when the game really ended with a score of 0-0, I don't know how many fans ridiculed and booed Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid on the Internet.

Describe it according to what these fans have to say about the game:

Not to mention that compared with the classic Champions League semi-finals in the past, even the quality of the normal Champions League 1/8 knockout rounds cannot be reached!

Dull and ugly, it looks like two mid-table Serie A teams are battling it out for endurance.

Fortunately, Monaco and Chelsea contributed a 2-4 battle for the majority of neutral fans the next day, and they were very enjoyable to watch.

The ripple effect of such a comparison is naturally that the estimated ratings for the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have plummeted.

Even if there is a large number of overseas ratings to reach the lower limit, in the end, it is no match for Monaco and Chelsea.

On 10 May, Chelsea host Monaco for the second leg of their semi-final clash with Monaco.

Monaco took the lead, and Falka took the lead with a header from Moutinho's cross!

The aggregate score between the two teams over the two legs was also levelled at 3-4, and Monaco, who saw the hope of an equaliser, was demoralized and wanted to build on the next goal.

But at the critical moment, Suarez directly extinguished the Monegasque's ambitions with a push shot after passing two people on the way to a counterattack!

Six minutes later, Eden Hazard doubled the lead with a brilliant in-cut finish.

Monaco also seemed to have lost the spirit of resistance, and Kroos scored a direct free-kick in the second half to end this season's Champions League campaign.

Chelsea scored seven goals in both legs and the attacking firepower was on full display, and Jose Mourinho once again showed his finesse in attack.

Of course, the Melingers will be under pressure because of the result of such a match.

However, in the second leg of the Champions League semifinals between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, which started the next day, Real Madrid remained unaffected and continued to play a defensive battle with Atletico Madrid.

The main theme of this game is still dull and fragmented.

The offensive rhythm is almost non-existent, Atletico Madrid does not dare to give Real Madrid even an away goal, so they are bent on delaying the extra-time, and Real Madrid is also not in a hurry, as if they have acquiesced to playing extra time with Atletico Madrid.

The first half was still a 0-0 draw, but in the 64th minute of the second half, Carlo Ancelotti replaced Bale with Isco.

Such a substitution adjustment immediately made Simeone vigilant.

And after Isco came on the field, the tactical play of the whole Real Madrid team really changed, and they began to take the ball more and attack the Atletico Madrid backline!

The Atletico players, who were already familiar with the defensive rhythm of both teams, suddenly became nervous.

This nervousness contrasts sharply with the calmness shown by the players on the field.

The Real Madrid attacking players who got the ball were not in a hurry to make a threatening pass or shoot, and it seemed that they wanted to enter Atletico's penalty area through passing and cutting!

In the 79th minute of the second half, Isco received a pass from Li Ang outside the penalty area and took the ball to wipe past Gabi who was making up the defense, and went directly into the Atletico penalty area!

In the next moment, his quick change of direction allowed him to almost pass the retreating Savic.

And at the last moment, Savic, who was unwilling to let Isco face Courtois, could only make a risky tackle!

In the end, Isco fell to the ground, and Savage received a yellow card from the referee in his appeal to get up quickly!

Penalty kick!

Real Madrid have the best chance to threaten over two legs!

Atletico Madrid is also about to usher in the final judgment!

Ronaldo held the ball and discussed with Leon outside the penalty area for a while, and finally Ronaldo patted Leon on the back of the head and stuffed the ball into his arms.

Li Ang did not give in anymore, and walked firmly to the penalty spot with the ball.

The Wanda Metropolitano Stadium was silent at the moment, and tens of thousands of Atletico Madrid fans prayed sincerely at this moment, asking God to bless their team.

Simeone even knelt directly on the sidelines and looked at Courtois in prayer.

The Belgian international gritted his teeth and glared at Leon fiercely.

He already knew that it was because of Leon's opposition that he had stayed at Atletico Madrid for several years and had no chance of returning to Chelsea at all.

The man in front of him cost him the possibility of winning a Grand Slam at the club and also made him miss out on the role of a winner in life.

He didn't hate, after all, it was natural for Leon to stand with the more familiar De Bruyne.

But he also wants to prove to Leon personally at this moment that his strength is worthy of all the honors Oblak has received, and he is the strongest existence in the new generation of goalkeepers!

Taking a deep breath, Courtois moved his long legs and arms, trying to put pressure on Leon.

But Leon never looked at him, and looked at the referee after setting up the football.

Eventually, the whistle blows!

Li Ang looked in front of him, ran without hesitation, and completed the goal!

Leon's trademark violent volley didn't appear at this moment, instead it was a precise and fast push!

And Courtois, who was in the air, was also psychologically broken at the moment!

Boccia!

TMD is boccia again!

He couldn't remember how many times this was the first time Leon had used his flaws to get his mentality.

After watching the ball in despair plunge into the bottom left corner of the net, Courtois landed with an angry slap on the turf!

And at this moment, the Real Madrid generals with his despair as the background have already cheered and rushed to Li Ang, who ended the game!

Simeone's lonely figure kneeling on the sidelines is destined to become a classic moment in Champions League history.

But to be remembered by history and fans in such a way is just too cruel for Simeone.

Atletico Madrid fans who couldn't accept the blow of reality broke down emotionally, and many even cried sadly.

But in the end, the game came to an end, and the miracle they prayed for did not happen.

1-0 over two legs!

Relying on Isco's crucial point creation and Leon's big heart penalty point, Real Madrid eliminated Atletico Madrid and finally met Chelsea in this season's Champions League final!

The smiling high-five of Ancelotti and Zinedine Zidane on the sidelines became the cover of many Western media education newspapers the next day.

Real Madrid eliminated Atletico Madrid to reach the Champions League final, and Ancelotti's tactics in the two legs were actually good.

At least the stability was full and did not give Atletico the slightest chance to make waves in the game.

But the sports media and fans in various European countries still can't help but complain.

Real Madrid's tactical choice of these two legs is too conservative!

These two Madrid derbies were nothing short of torture for the fans.

They are more than willing to call these two games the most dreary and boring Champions League semi-finals in history.
