With Rossi's "Big Four Happiness", Real Madrid defeated Atalanta 5-0 away from home and basically locked up the place to advance to the quarterfinals.

The victory rained down on time, leaving Zidane without worrying about the second leg in two weeks' time.

Real Madrid will also get a respite in the tight schedule.

Against Real Sociedad at the weekend, Rossi's stoppage-time strike brought Atletico Madrid and Barcelona fans back on their feet.

It's been a long time since La Liga had a three-man rivalry.

Although Atletico Madrid leads the La Liga standings, there is only one point away from second-place Barcelona.

Real Madrid are also only three points behind Atletico Madrid and are in third place.

The next round of the league ushered in the Madrid derby, which is very likely to change the current standings.

It has been four consecutive Madrid derbies lost to local rivals, leaving Atletico Madrid players with a breath of revenge.

The reason why they have enough confidence is that they have been at the top of the standings since the 6th round of the league.

The league championship has become the ultimate goal of the whole team.

The second is because Real Madrid's first-team team has too many injuries and its strength has been greatly reduced.

Take advantage of your illness and kill you, professional football is so realistic.

Then there is Atletico Madrid's home game, which is better than Real Madrid in terms of time, place and people.

In the event of the championship of the tournament, Atletico Madrid fans entered the stadium early to warm up the atmosphere of the game with great excitement.

As early as a day ago, Barcelona's game started early, and with Messi's assist, they defeated Osasuna 2-0 away and successfully climbed to the top of the standings.

At this moment, Barcelona fans are also waiting in front of the screen to watch this Madrid derby.

The result of the meeting between the two teams will directly affect the ranking of the La Liga standings.

Two hours before the game, both sides submitted their starting lists.

From Simeone's 4-1-4-1 formation, it can be seen that Atletico Madrid are bound to win this game.

Although this formation tends to be defensive, it does not affect the offensive performance at all.

Because Atletico Madrid added passing control this season, it is more conducive to the play of the five midfielders.

Coupled with the one-arrow Suarez, who has a strong physique and good ability to dribble the ball on his back, coupled with flexible dribbling skills and strong finishing ability in front of goal, he can give full play to the maximum advantage of this formation in this position.

In the Wanda Metropolita, fans waved their flags and cheered for the team.

Due to Barcelona's victory in this round, Atletico Madrid was forced to relinquish the top position in the standings, and only a victory over Real Madrid could return to the top of the table in this game.

This also greatly boosted the morale of the Atletico Madrid players, who launched a frenzied attack towards Real Madrid's goal at the beginning of the game.

This season, Atletico Madrid's overall strength has increased, and Simeone has changed his previous conservative approach to tactically increase the short pass cooperation between players, enriching the team's offensive means.

In fact, since the second half of last season, the Atletico Madrid coach has begun to adjust the team's tactical play, and after nearly a year of running-in, it has achieved something.

Whether it is a counterattack from defense to attack, or positional warfare, Atletico Madrid's speed and attack power in the front court make Real Madrid's semi-main defensive line a little fragile.

Varane and Nacho were a two-man centre-back duo that lacked consistency and aggression.

Vázquez, who switched from full-back to full-back, is more often defensive-oriented.

Against a team like Atletico Madrid, assists are even rarer, which undoubtedly weakens Real Madrid's wide attack.

As for Edouard Mendy, his performances have been remarkable.

But it always gives the impression that it is not as good as Marcelo at his peak.

And Atletico Madrid started to attack strongly, which was to seize Real Madrid's immature defense line and attack hard.

In the 12th minute, Atletico Madrid controlled the ball at the back, and under the pressure of Real Madrid's front, their captain Koke passed the ball to the feet of his teammates near the center circle.

Due to Real Madrid's forward press, Koke's pass was a bit risky and poorly landed, making it a bit difficult for teammate Max Llorente.

At the same time, Real Madrid centre-back Nacho saw the timing of the opponent's pass and attacked decisively, wanting to clear the ball before the opponent.

Faced with a five-to-five opportunity, both sides did not give up and desperately grabbed the ball.

In the end, it was Llorente who took a step ahead of his opponent and gently led the ball away, avoiding Nacho's tackle.

Atletico Madrid counterattacked in front, although it was a 2v3 situation, but Suarez's running position tore apart Real Madrid's defense.

Due to Nacho's disposition, Varane had to top out to defend Max Llorente.

Casemiro added to the centre-back line to keep the defence intact.

However, Suarez lurked in the gap between Varane and Casemiro, and at the moment of his teammate's pass, he quickly stepped forward and successfully countered offside to form a single knife.

The Uruguayan striker calmly used the outside of his instep to create a small arc into the far corner of the goal, catching the goalkeeper off guard.

Courtois fell fast enough, but couldn't stop the ball from going into the net.

Atletico lead 1-0 at home.

It has to be said that after Simeone adjusted his tactics and Suarez joined, Atletico Madrid's game became pleasing to the eye.

What's more interesting is that in this attack, it was the former Real Madrid player who assisted the former Barcelona player and broke the ten fingers of the former Atletico Madrid player.

After the goal, Suarez hugged and celebrated with his teammates one by one, and kissed three fingers in front of the camera, which means sharing the goal with the whole family.

Atletico got off to a dream start and with them back to the top of the table.

The pressure is on Real Madrid's side.

They are behind Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the standings, and if they want to overtake, they will have to beat their opponents in a strong dialogue with them.

Soon, Real Madrid's attack also pressed over.

Luka Modric advanced with the ball and distributed it to Vinicius on the left.

The Brazilian used his speed to tear through the wide defence and then crossed from the bottom.

Rossi in the middle is not a high-altitude centre-forward, so Vinicius was interested in getting the ball into the centre of the box rather than in front of goal.

Rossi opened up the ball and volleyed directly, but unfortunately the defender flew to block the ball.

In the next game, Real Madrid showed strong control at both ends of the pitch, but in the face of Atletico Madrid's defense, they were unable to score for a long time.

And Atletico Madrid failed to pose a threat to Real Madrid's goal after the opening blitz.

Among them, Real Madrid's three midfielders played a huge role.

With an unstable back, Casemiro was stuck in a midfield position and barely involved in any attack.

Kroos and Luka Modric stepped up their round-trip runs and extended their defensive coverage while being actively involved in attack.

With a camp full of wounds, Real Madrid's three midfielders played an extremely important role.

The first half ended quickly, with Atletico leading Real Madrid 1-0 thanks to Suarez's goal.

This result is unacceptable to Real Madrid fans, even Barcelona fans.

Not long ago, their president, Bartoume, was arrested by the police, and the club's previous accumulated conflicts have not been resolved, and the team is in a difficult situation.

They are in a hurry to win a league title to stabilize the dressing room.

The unfavorable start and the strength of the competitors have kept Barcelona out of the top of the table.

In this Madrid derby, once Atletico Madrid draws, Barcelona can reach the top as desired.

So, they desperately want Real Madrid to snipe at Atletico.

Perhaps after a long time of not tasting the leader, Atletico began to become conservative in the second half, switching to a defensive 5-4-1 formation.

In order to strengthen the impact of the frontcourt, Zidane replaced Valverde and Rodrygo one after another, but they could not break through Atletico Madrid's defense.

Rossi also played a very small role in the front line, and his retreat response did little to Atletico's squatting defense.

And the ability to tear apart the opponent's space as a fulcrum is obviously insufficient.

Simeone's analysis of his abilities is very thorough every time.

Zidane had no intention of replacing Rossi.

Even if he is limited in attack, his presence can still threaten opponents.

The most important thing now is to have someone to share the pressure on Rossi up front.

At this moment, Valverde's long-range shot was saved by Atletico goalkeeper Oblak.

Zidane immediately thought of something, hurried to the sidelines, and laid out tactics to the players.

As the game approached 90 minutes, Atletico still led 1-0.

Real Madrid have pressed all over the line and besieged the Atletico goal.

Kroos advanced with the ball, but there was not a single Real Madrid player in the Atletico penalty area.

Rossi, who is a central striker, has moved away from the penalty area and came to Kroos to pick up.

As soon as he received the pass, he was immediately surrounded by four Atletico players.

After Saul fell to the ground and slid and was easily passed by Rossi with a "croquette", the other three Atletico players did not dare to grab it easily.

They wanted to quickly form an encirclement and lock Rossi to death.

The hesitation and conservatism of the Atletico players were seized by Rossi and passed the ball to Valverde, who was cutting forward.

Valverde, who had entered the box, had already had a great chance to shoot, and goalkeeper Oblak immediately abandoned the goal, blocking all the angles of the shot.

But Valverde had no intention of shooting from the start, and instead quickly distributed it to Rossi, who was cutting forward.
