In the weekend league, with Rossi's killer goal, Real Madrid had a thrilling pass and continued to chase Barcelona and Atletico Madrid in the standings.

In midweek, they welcomed the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

After beating Atalanta 5-0 in the first leg, Real Madrid almost immediately sealed the promotion spot.

In this game, Zidane made a big rotation of the starting lineup, and also gave Real Madrid a chance to adjust and rest.

On Atalanta's side, they are determined to be eliminated from the competition, and they are relaxed and want to play their hard-fought style of play in Serie A, and suppress Real Madrid's attack with high pressing.

However, Real Madrid can still use the midfielders' conduction ability to quickly play the ball, crack their high pressing, and make the active running of the Atalanta players become brutal.

The Atalanta players also felt the strength of the defending champions, who had never faced a team in Serie A who could easily break down their high pressing tactics with passing the ball.

All their efforts are like a punch on cotton, and they can't use their strength.

That's the powerful control that comes from the Champions League winners.

With Rossi on the bench, the team's attacking firepower was focused on Benzema and Vinicius.

Vinicius, in particular, has the majority of the ball in the team's attack.

His breakthrough on the side is still the most lethal weapon, and as for his archery, it is a bit miserable.

In the face of the bread that Benzema fed to his mouth, he could spit it out alive.

Captain Ramos was so angry that he couldn't stand it, and in the tunnel back to the dressing room, he put his arm around Vinicius and talked to him about something.

As the future of Real Madrid's striker, he, like Rodrygo, has high hopes from the team.

They have to grow up fast.

Back in the dressing room, Vinicius sat next to Rossi during the break.

After a brief exchange of words between the two, Zidane began to plan the tactics of the second half.

The game continued, and Real Madrid took the initiative.

Although he was leading on aggregate, he didn't score at the Bernabeu and couldn't explain to the fans.

In the 60th minute, Vinicius broke through sharply on the flank, shook off the defense and got space to shoot.

But this time, instead of shooting like before, he used a hypothetical real buckle to deceive the opponent's follow-up defense.

It was this feint that allowed the defender's leg to sweep Vinicius to the ground in the box.

The referee didn't hesitate to point to twelve yards.

Penalty kick!

Ramos touched the bear's head excitedly and took the penalty himself to give Real Madrid the lead.

Subsequently, Vinicius Jr. was in surprisingly good form, and after cutting back on unnecessary shots, Real Madrid were more selective in their attacking style.

In the 80th minute, Vinicius also ushered in the goal.

After successive passes on the wing, he did not continue to choose to pass, but shot directly into the near corner, and the goalkeeper was caught off guard.

Watching the transformation of his lover, Zidane smiled heartily and began to think about the upcoming national derby and the Champions League quarterfinals.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Atalanta 2-0 and advanced to the quarterfinals.

With three weeks to go until the national derby, Real Madrid will face Celta Vigo and Eibar, two underdogs in La Liga.

Meanwhile, the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League was held at FIFA headquarters, and Real Madrid drew against Liverpool.

The draw did not cause Zidane to worry too much.

After all, when it comes to the quarterfinals, there is no weak team, and it is the same to fight anyone.

It's all five-five.

The only thing that worries him is the timing of the game, which is four days before the national derby.

It's going to be a challenging and difficult week.

After last season's glory, Liverpool have maintained good form this season, with multiple fronts going hand in hand.

Unfortunately, they came up against an even better Manchester duo.

In February, Liverpool's three-game losing streak almost handed over the league title to Manchester City.

In the FA Cup, they met Manchester United and were eliminated in stoppage time.

In the EFL Cup, it was a penalty penalty defeat to Arsenal.

In just one month, Liverpool, who is fighting on the fourth line, only has one honor left to chase in the Champions League.

Klopp hadn't shaved for three days, leaving him looking a little haggard.

This is his fifth year in charge of Liverpool and a Premier League trophy has earned him Premier League Manager of the Year.

Now, the best coach is wondering how he will face the mighty Real Madrid.

Can your pressing tactics be the key to beating Real Madrid?

He didn't dare to guarantee this easily.

Especially after watching Real Madrid play against some teams that are good at pressing high positions, Klopp fell into deep thought.

Real Madrid's midfield three are too strong, and they can use their skills and transmission to break the opponent's pressing.

The two-legged match against Atalanta is a classic case of breaking the high press.

Tactically, there is no good solution for the time being, and in terms of players, Liverpool are also suffering from a wave of injuries.

With injuries to Jordan Henderson, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Matip and Joe Gomez, Liverpool have very few available defensively.

Can such a defense line withstand the full firepower of the Real Madrid attack group led by Rossi?

You know, Real Madrid's No.7 has been in hot form lately and has been well rested, so I don't know what kind of amazing performance he will have in the game.

There is also the experienced and skilled Benzema, Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo, who have soared in their skills.

All of this gave Klopp a headache.

Drip~

The sound of the phone pulled Klopp off the brink of irritation.

"Hey, Linders, is there anything important?"

It was his assistant who called, it was 8 o'clock in the evening, and Lindes would never have called unless there was something important.

"The latest news, just came back from Madrid!"

Linders couldn't be more excited, even more excited than the team won the game.

Klopp became interested, and after a "whoosh", his body straightened.

'According to reliable sources, Real Merasmus and Varane are not feeling well in team training and ended training early, and the situation is not optimistic.

With less than a week to go, the duo will not be able to make it in time for the first round if the two are seriously injured.

Real Madrid is also greatly weakened by the absence of two defensive giants and the captain of the team.

"My friend, this is definitely the best news I've heard in the past two weeks."

Klopp immediately came to his senses and said: "Inform everyone, tomorrow morning the conference room will be gathered to discuss tactics with Real Madrid." ”

After hanging up the phone, Klopp couldn't calm down for a long time, and immediately took out the tactical board and began to build a formation map for next week's match against Real Madrid.

Sure enough, two days later, Ramos and Raphael Varane were absent from the starting line-up and were not even in the squad for the game.

After Real Madrid won Eibar, Zinedine Zidane announced at a press conference the next day that Ramos, Raphael, Carvajal and Isco would miss the first leg against Liverpool due to injury.

This news undoubtedly makes the battle between the two teams full of unknown possibilities.

And Real Madrid's original winning rate of 76% has dropped to 54% all of a sudden.

Zidane's team is once again facing a test.
