'I think Carlo Ancelotti will think it's over.'

At Liverpool's post-match press conference, Jurgen Klopp was answering questions from reporters in a serious manner.

The eyes are slightly tired, and the passion of the past is gone.

All that remains is helplessness.

However, Liverpool will not throw in the towel.

Jurgen Klopp led his team to a 3-0 win over a strong Barcelona.

This time, I believe he will be able to do it too.

Real Madrid, do you think you're three goals ahead and nine out of ten if you advance?

Ancelotti, remember the Istanbul miracle?

Even if Liverpool died, they would die standing up.

Unexpectedly, Klopp's next words surprised everyone.

"I also think it's over. Tonight at 2:5, how good Real Madrid are at counter-attacking. ”

'We have to score three goals away from home and it's a big risk.

"It's going to be trickier."

With away goals canceled, a comeback is not out of the question.

But fans who have watched the game know that the current Real Madrid team is difficult to beat.

Attacking aggressively will lead to scoring opportunities, but desperately chasing points will only make you lose more.

Klopp said that the game ended early, and there was a reason.

In this way, Liverpool can focus on the competition for domestic competitions.

Returning to Madrid with the news of the victory, Real Madrid have to prepare for their final match in February.

Madrid Derby.

After sending off European golden boy Felix, Atletico's strength in the forward line has not weakened.

Their reserves in the forward line are not even inferior to those of Real Madrid and Barcelona.

As of now, Atletico are third in the league, just three points away from second-placed Real Madrid, and are a favourite for the La Liga title.

But Atletico Madrid gives fans the feeling that they are a strong team to compete for the title, but it will definitely not be the team that will win the championship in the end.

Due to the lack of depth in Real Madrid's squad, Atletico Madrid sent a combination of Antoine Griezmann and Marcos Llorente in the attack.

Alvaro Morata, Correa and Lemar were on the bench, with Simeone leaving the back for the second half.

In addition to the shortcomings of Real Madrid on the defensive end, many of the main players have consumed a lot in the strong dialogue with Liverpool.

Rossi, Luka Modric, Karim Benzema and Camavinga were also on the bench as a normal rotation.

In order to curb Real Madrid's attack on the wing, in the defensive phase, Atletico Madrid set up the usual 4-5-1 formation, established a numerical advantage, and adopted the tactics of defending Carvajal alone and covering Vinicius with two people.

The Emperor's response was for Asensio and Valverde on the right to drop back and be responsible for passing and receiving the ball and diverting long balls to find Vinicius on the wing.

Militão dribbled forward in the middle of the pitch to keep Real Madrid evenly numbered in midfield.

Coupled with the combination of short passes from a number of technical midfielders, it is used to break down the defence.

Also, through Ceballos's long pass from the back, quickly through the midfield, directly to Vinicius in the front.

Real Madrid's three midfielders are not defensive midfielders, and the purpose of their existence is to feed ammunition to Vinicius in the forward line.

This tactic of attacking instead of defending shows the player's strong ability to read the game and creates a lot of chances.

But Atletico Madrid, who are old in defense, set up layers of checkpoints in the middle, forcing Real Madrid to divert the goals to the sides.

In the absence of space to cut inside, Vinicius mostly opted for a low cross.

In fact, this fell into Simonsi's trap.

Vinicius, Rodrygo and Asensio are not strikers who head the ball.

Real Madrid lost possession of the ball after repeated crosses.

Being pressed and beaten by his opponent, Simeone did not feel ashamed.

After all, the opponent is Real Madrid, and there are not many teams in the world who can play against it.

The last time Liverpool played against Real Madrid, they lost 2:5 at home.

So, retract the defense, no shame.

Again, Simeone still has a back hand.

In the second half, when the Real Madrid players were not fit, they would strike hard.

If it had been before, Simone wouldn't have left the killer feature last.

This is also to see that Real Madrid has a huge problem with the fitness and depth of the squad after the devil's schedule in January and February.

In the first half, both sides failed to score and went into the break 0-0.

Barcelona won 3-0 the day before, and if Real Madrid ends in a draw, then the gap between them and Barcelona will be stretched to three points.

It's not a good point difference to chase.

Because Barcelona have been knocked out of the Europa League by Manchester United, the pressure on the two fronts is too little for them.

Real Madrid must win at home to keep the chase on Barcelona.

After entering the second half, Real Madrid launched a high press, trying to make a successful steal in the front court, and quickly launched a counterattack.

Atletico Madrid did not panic at all, Simeone simply used a 6-3-1 formation to protect the penalty area, and Real Madrid's attack was scoreless.

In the absence of Rossi and Benzema, Real Madrid's attacking structure is relatively homogeneous.

Vinicius Jr. burst into the box, Rodrygo crossed low, Asensio cut inside and that's it.

In front of Atletico's defence, Real Madrid's attack was completely blocked.

Just as Carlo Ancelotti was about to make a substitution, Atletico scored with a header from defender Jimenez from a corner.

The only thing Atletico can do for Real Madrid has been from set-pieces or corners.

The same was true for the Champions League final in '14.

After taking the lead at the Bernabeu, Simeone laughed happily.

With Real Madrid's current attacking prowess, he was confident enough to hold the lead until the end of the game.

But the smile only lasted less than five seconds, and it froze instantly.

Because Rossi took off his training waistcoat and was ready to come off the bench.

Simeone was quick to make adjustments, with Alvaro Morata, Correa and Lemar coming off the bench to concentrate on the counter-attack.

As a midfielder, Kroos can't match the traditional midfielders in terms of tackling and defensive coverage.

His accurate judgment of the ball path is the reason why Real Madrid dare to press forward.

But Kroos, who returned from injury, only played 65 minutes before being replaced by Camavinga due to attrition.

As the pace of the game continued to pick up, both sides were given some chances.

Especially in terms of the speed of the counterattack, the two teams competed.

Simeone, on the other hand, would like to see both sides continue to shift at a fast pace.

One is because Real Madrid's players don't have enough physical reserves.

The second is that Real Madrid will rely too much on Vinicius's speed in a quick counter-attack.

As long as Vinicius is cut off from Rossi, Real Madrid's attack will not pose a threat.

But just five minutes later, a resounding slap was slapped hard into Simeone's face.

From a Real Madrid corner, substitute Luka Modric crosses the ball into the box.

Players from both sides were pulling and interfering with each other in the penalty area, resulting in no one being able to jump to the top.

But, except for Rosie.

Real Madrid's No. 7 was unmarked outside the penalty area, and no one paid attention, quickly jumping forward and jumping, like Tarzan pressing the top, and pushing the ball down.

The players around them didn't know what was happening, except that a black cloud suddenly appeared in the sky overhead, and they saw the ball smash down the turf and bounce into the net.

Then he turned back sharply and searched for the black cloud that had taken off in the sky.

I saw the edge of the number 7 behind me, shining with golden light.

Golden Bomber No. 7,

The first round of bombing is over,

Returning to the team,

Please instruct!
