On the evening of January 19, the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid.

In the 18th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid challenged Real Madrid away.

In the stands, the Real Madrid fans were very uneasy.

This damn stoppage time is too long!

Arturo Ibanez's enforcement tonight is like shit.

A full 5 minutes of stoppage time was given.

Didn't he know that it was at the Bernabeu?

Yang Hao stood in front of the coach's seat of the away team, did not hide his anxiety at this moment, walked to the sidelines from time to time, signaling the team to continue to press up and continue to attack.

His mood at this moment was as cold as the sudden cold snap in Madrid.

But looking at the desperate players on the field, especially when he saw Lucio, Carvalho and other central defenders, they were all actively advancing, and when they participated in the attack, his heart was full of enthusiasm.

"Press up, let's continue to attack, there is no time!"

Yang Hao heard the shouts of the captain Baraha.

Everyone was like they were dying.

At this moment, he couldn't care about the goal behind him at all.

It's not that I don't want to defend, it's that I really don't have time.

And, in front of Atletico's goal, stood one of the best players of the night.

Peter Cech!

This young player, who doesn't talk much on weekdays, is also actively shouting, constantly calling on his teammates to cheer!

On the Bernabeu side, on the scoreboard, the score is 2-1.

……

A cold snap hits and the temperature plummets.

But the Santiago Bernabeu was packed.

With Atletico Madrid's strong rise, this Madrid derby can be described as a gathering of many elements.

The title race, a repeat of last season's Champions League final, a local derby, a clash of stars and advanced tactics......

All the elements to attract the fans, this game has it all.

Before the game, the media was crazy about hype and hype, coupled with the vigorous promotion of La Liga, this spotlight battle attracted huge attention around the world.

Look at the guests in the stand of the Bernabeu presidency tonight, there are celebrities from both sides, political and business celebrities, stars from Spain and Europe, and even from all over the world, not all of them are here for Real Madrid.

But, they all came to see the game.

It's like an influencer check-in in 2023.

The temperature inside the Bernabeu Stadium was at least several degrees higher than outside, which came from the enthusiasm of the fans and the fierce collision between the two sides on the pitch.

As soon as the game began, the star-studded Real Madrid took the lead in the attack.

Except for Claude Makelele and Patrick Vieira squatting in midfield, all the attacking players and two full-backs up front were all pressed.

The first shot came from Zinedine Zidane, the second from Patrick Vieira and the third......

The Real Madrid fans cheered wildly as they watched the home team press the visitors.

But Atletico is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

In the 10th minute, Atletico Madrid counterattacked quickly, Xavi Alonso sent a long diagonal pass behind him.

Reyes cut in diagonally behind Salgado with great speed, and when he faced Cannavaro's ferocious kick to clear the ball, he brazenly snatched his teammate's long pass with his head, rushed into the Real Madrid penalty area, and sent a cross in front of the baseline.

Torres follows up and pushes the shot!

It was Atletico's first attack of the game, the first shot on goal, the first goal!

Real Madrid then launched an even more aggressive attack.

But only 3 minutes later, it was another counterattack from the back, but this time it was Deco's through ball, Torres quickly went straight behind the defense, completely shook Hierro away, and Cannavaro fouled from the side back at the critical moment.

The referee did not show a red card, but only gave a yellow card.

This caused anger and resentment among the Atletico players.

The smell of gunpowder on both sides increased sharply.

Atletico Madrid's players may not be as good as Real Madrid's superstars in terms of individual strength, but in the overall battle, they firmly control the midfield.

In particular, the active pressing of the players has created a lot of pressure on Real Madrid.

In the face of the combination of Ronaldo and Raul, Yang Hao adopted more of a strategy of shrinking defense to avoid giving the opponent too much space.

And Real Madrid was eager to equalize, almost frantically pressing the attack, and Atletico Madrid's backfield was under a mountain of pressure.

In the 33rd minute, Carvalho was disturbed after a steal at Raul's feet, and failed to kick the ball far, and the ball was collected by Figo.

The Portuguese cut inside with the ball and passed to Zinedine Zidane.

The French superstar is near the top of the arc, and an elegant curling ball hangs into the corner of the goal!

World Wave!

Xavi Alonso worked very hard, but this time he didn't show up in time for the need for him.

And just before the end of the first half, Real Madrid launched a wave of onslaught.

After receiving the ball on the left side, Robert Carlos went down to the bottom line, and when the person was already out of the line, he carried McCone and stepped the ball into the Atletico penalty area, allowing McCone to throw a mouse.

At the crucial moment, Carlos sent a cross cross.

Ronaldo pushes from close range at the front post.

Cech reacted quickly and quickly fell to the ground and struggled to save the ball.

But Raul appeared like a ghost on the edge of the six-yard box and met the ball that Cech saved and fired an elegant volley into the Atletico goal.

2 to 1!

At halftime, Yang Hao gave a very high evaluation of the team's performance, thinking that the team can compete with the star-studded Real Madrid, which is already very good.

"But I believe we can do better, we can beat them at the Bernabeu!"

"Just like we did before!"

As soon as the second half began, Atletico launched a frantic attack.

In the 47th and 49th minutes, Atletico Madrid had two consecutive must-score chances, but they were saved by Casillas.

Real Madrid's goalkeeper was stimulated by Petr Cech on the other side and behaved unusually bravely.

Then, in the 56th and 59th minutes, Atletico created a series of chances to shoot and kick, but they were all cleared.

In the 62nd minute, Real Madrid took the lead in Ronaldo to create a very amazing one, taking the ball from 30 meters away on the left side, advancing at high speed all the way, relying on his personal ability, forcing the ball into the Atletico penalty area with the ball, and sending a wonderful pass.

Raul's shot was saved by Cech again!

This time, the Czech goalkeeper played so well that even the fans at the Bernabeu applauded him.

Ronaldo's high-speed dribbling rush, although not as sharp as when he played for Barcelona, is still very threatening and can't be stopped at all.

Three minutes later, Carlos and Zidane combined on the left rib, and Ronaldo formed a single knife.

Facing the onrushing Cech, Ronaldo tried to get past the goalkeeper.

But this time, he couldn't make it and was saved by Cech.

The two sides went back and forth, and the game was very exciting and quite intense.

Real Madrid relied on the individual ability of the superstar and the beautiful technical cooperation to kick a mercury-like attack on the field, while Atletico Madrid relied on the teamwork of the players and the unyielding will of the team to fight with Real Madrid.

In such a game, time always flies very quickly, and it goes into stoppage time in an instant.

Neither side was able to find the back of the net again.

……

In the presidential stand, Real Madrid President Florentino sat next to King Juan Carlos.

Every now and then, he turned his head to look at the time on the scoreboard.

It's been 94 minutes.

This made him breathe a heavy sigh of relief.

2 to 1, passed safely.

"Atletico are too tough right now." The president of Real Madrid has to admit that Atletico Madrid is really scary.

At least much scarier than Barcelona.

Real Madrid's original arch-rival even fell into the relegation zone at one point this season.

But who would have thought that Atletico Madrid would become a big problem.

"Yang Hao's ability is still very strong." Juan Carlos teased Florentino with a smile.

This has become a well-known meme in the circle.

Back then, Florentino said that Yang Hao was a big fool, and forced a talent to Atletico Madrid, and now it's okay, under the coaching of Yang Hao, Atletico Madrid has become a big problem for Real Madrid, and how many people are waiting to see Florentino's good show.

Even, before every Madrid derby, they will be pulled out and drawn.

Florentino had long since gotten used to it.

"Maybe, but if he comes to coach Real Madrid, do you think Real Madrid can have the squad like it has now?" Florentino asked rhetorically, he had a good relationship with the king.

"Indeed, Yang Hao may be able to coach Atletico Madrid, but he can't control Real Madrid." Juan Carlos laughed.

That's the pattern.

Real Madrid wants not only to win, not just to win the title, but also to play beautifully and play with an artistic sense of football.

The team coached by Yang Hao, although it also plays offensive football, and many times it is also played beautifully and beautifully, but there is still a difference between him and Real Madrid's football philosophy.

It's like, sometimes he really just sticks to it.

If this is put on Real Madrid, I am afraid that I will be scolded to death by the fans.

"2-1, narrowly won, 7 points ahead, there is basically no suspense this season, right?" Juan Carlos asked.

"There's also the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, you know, it's a shame not to win the Champions League and the Copa del Rey and not win the treble once." Florentino said with a sense of ambition.

"Well said, we do have the strength."

After a pause, Florentino glanced at the time on the scoreboard again and snorted coldly.

"Arturo Ibanez really didn't give face to the home team at all, gave five minutes of stoppage time, and now it's just ten seconds away, and he still doesn't blow it." Florentino said speechlessly.

Ibanés hails from Cantavieja in eastern Spain, at the junction of Valencia, the Aragon region and the Catalan region.

Juan Carlos smiled, "He's always been so rigid. ”

Seeing inside the pitch, Atletico pushed across the halfway line again.

And this time, the Sheets Legion still pressed all the members, obviously to use the last attack to completely let go.

No one remembers that this is already the first time.

Atletico were exceptionally tenacious tonight.

Referee Arturo Ibanez put the silver whistle in his mouth and could blow the whistle at any time to signal the end of the game.

"It's not a few seconds." Juan Carlos laughed.

It was as if he had seen the victory of Real Madrid!

By beating Atletico Madrid, the lead was extended to seven points, and Real Madrid was basically stable.

Florentino also smiled and nodded, he also felt that it didn't matter.

……

Xavi Alonso is tired.

He could clearly hear his heavy breathing, but he chose to follow when the team pressed on the attack.

The game is coming to an end.

There is no time left.

The team conceded the first goal just now, and Xavi Alonso knows that he is responsible.

That goal sounded the clarion call for Real Madrid to fight back.

If Xavi Alonso had reacted more calmly and not retreated so far back, Zidane would not have had a chance to shoot with his feet.

But he was worried about Ronaldo and Raul.

Real Madrid's players are too strong individually, especially up front.

2 against 2, he is not at ease.

But all of this, in the face of Zidane's goal, became an excuse.

He made a mistake.

No one blames him.

All the players in turn comforted him, and head coach Yang Hao praised his performance by name at halftime.

But Xavi Alonso still feels bad.

Because he knows that he has made a mistake.

It's always a difficult game against a team like Real Madrid.

Xavi Alonso, in particular, is in a very crucial position.

He will have to face Zinedine Zidane and Figo, and even Patrick Vieira's stints forward.

It's really hard, it's hard.

But he knows that his teammates around him are working just as hard.

That's it against Real Madrid.

Want easy?

Get down on your knees and surrender!

But no one wants to kneel!

Atletico never surrender either!

Previously, Xavi Alonso, who was his favorite favorite from childhood to adulthood, never surrendered either!

Therefore, Real Sociedad is now in a predicament again and again, reversing again and again, and is still ranked third in La Liga.

Atletico came in second.

Head coach Yang Hao said before the game that if Real Madrid is pulled down tonight, Atletico Madrid will be able to reverse!

Everyone was holding their breath.

Lucio is advancing with the ball.

The Brazilian is fast and has good technique on his feet.

So, Xavi Alonso ran even higher.

Baraja ran over to answer, which made Real Madrid think that Atletico were going to play on the right side.

But after Xavi Alonso glanced at it, he felt that he could not play on the right side.

Real Madrid's defence has leaned over.

It was like a pocket, and as soon as you got inside, it was trapped.

Look at the referee again, the silver whistle is already in his mouth, as long as the game stops, it will end at any time.

"Over there." Xavi Alonso pointed to his left.

He didn't even care if the Real Madrid players would hear his shouts.

Lucio trusts Xavi Alonso a lot, because Yang Hao once said that Xavi Alonso is like a commander on the pitch.

The Brazilian centre-back made a long pass directly to the left side of the field.

When Xavi Alonso saw this, he turned and ran forward.

He doesn't have much strength left, and this should be the last attack of the game.

Therefore, he did not have any reservations, and used the last bit of strength to allow himself to run forward quickly.

He's going to go forward and take part in the attack, and he's atoning for his mistake just now!

No one blames him, but he blames himself!

Reyes couldn't run anymore, so he was substituted.

At this time, it was Drogba, who came off the bench, to appear on the left.

The Ivorian ran to the left side of Real Madrid's 30-meter zone, judged the landing point, stuck the position in advance, and blocked Salgado behind him with his body.

Pass it to whom?

Drogba glanced at Torres and saw that Torres was still in the middle and he couldn't run anymore.

"Here." Kaka ran forward and reached out to point to the location.

The eyes of the Ivorians lit up.

Deco just fought to cramp and was substituted.

Kaka is still quite clever and fast.

Drogba suppressed Salgado with his body, plus there was no threat in this area, so, Drogba jumped lightly, and Salgado even resisted, just blocking behind him.

He also consumes a lot of money, how can he compete with Drogba?

The ball is pushed to the left rib.

Kaka plugged in at high speed, grabbed ahead of Vieira, stopped with his right foot, and took a small step forward with the ball.

The little technology of the Brazilians came into play in this moment.

Obviously he slipped the ball out, but Kaka caught up in an instant and swept sideways with his left foot.

Vieira kicks out, but can't stop it.

Almost at the same time, Torres, who had rushed to the top of the arc, suddenly made a sharp stop, turned around and ran sideways.

His running line was right in the middle of the Cannavaro and Hierro lines, as well as the Makelle line.

Everyone's first reaction was that he was going to pick up Kaka.

Fernando Torres, Kaka and Villa, the three best performers of Atletico's second team in La Liga last season, worked together very well.

At this moment, Real Madrid's defenders simply didn't have any time to think about it.

Hierro and Makellele's attention was on Torres, and the whole person followed to the left.

Cockaca suddenly crosses to the middle.

Football and Torres are like two lines, with Vieira and Makelele running to the overlap in the middle.

Makelle also realized the problem, stopped immediately, turned and pounced towards the top of the arc.

Then, he saw a figure with red and white arrow stripes, running all the way from behind, all the way, and finally ran to the periphery of the arc top area.

This person seems to know everything around him, knowing where everyone is and how they react.

So he calmly stopped the ball at the top of the arc.

He's got a good stop, he's very good at stopping.

If time were to freeze at this moment, it would be clear that in the Real Madrid penalty area, Claude Makelele, Cannavaro and Carlos were all rushing towards the top of the arc at the same time.

In front of the goal, Casillas, who had just been attracted by Torres, was also moving quickly from the left to the middle at this time.

By the time the three Real Madrid defenders were about to get in place, Xavi Alonso had caught up with the ball he had stopped, his hands spread wide and he controlled his balance, standing on the grass with his left foot and kicking his right foot out quickly.

The soccer ball flew out at breakneck speed.

The more than 70,000 Real Madrid fans at the Bernabeu did not have time to exclaim until this moment.

Xavi Alonso's long-range shot was lightning fast and straight to the left side of the goal.

Casillas first turned to the left, then suddenly turned to the right, and then found Xavi Alonso playing on the left side again, where else could he react?

I could only stand there and watch as the shot went into the left side of the goal.

In that moment, the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone was stunned and watched in disbelief at this scene on the court.

Immediately afterward, the audience was in an uproar.

"The ball is in?!"

"God, the ball is in!!"

"Atletico scored a goal!!

"2 to 2!!"

"Xavi Alonso broke Real Madrid's goal with a long-range shot from the top of the box in the final crucial moment!!"

"Xavi Alonso has done a great job!!

"He scored a goal for Atletico at the last minute!!"

Xavi Alonso was stunned for a moment, then turned and ran, he didn't know where he got the strength, and ran all the way.

He clearly felt as if something was flying out of his eyes.

Is it sweat?

Still is...... Tears?

None of that matters anymore!

He ran wildly, all the way, and finally rushed to the sidelines, shouting loudly and hissing angrily!

Immediately afterwards, Xavi Alonso felt that suddenly someone jumped behind him and shouted loudly directly behind him, almost as excited as he was.

That's not the player's voice!

It was a shout from head coach Yang Hao!

Xavi Alonso probed his hands behind him and ran all the way with Yang Hao on his back, both of them shouting excitedly.

All the way to the point where they were surrounded by all their teammates.

"2 to 2!"

"It's a draw!"

"What a classic Madrid derby!"

"We saw that Atletico were extremely tenacious, even in the last minute of the game, they didn't give up in the slightest and kept attacking."

"Finally, Xavi Alonso's long-range shot equalized for Atletico!"

'He was clearly atoning for his mistakes in the first half.'

'It's really exciting, all the classic elements that you want to see, in this city derby, it's all on display, including the most dramatic last-minute goal.'

"This is definitely one of the best games in La Liga in recent years!"

"The Madrid derby, as it really is!"

When everyone calmed down, Xavi Alonso also put down Yang Hao on his back.

Yang Hao laughed and hugged Xavi Alonso, and then high-fived and hugged the others.

But soon, Xavi Alonso, who calmed down, looked at the head coach strangely, "Boss, didn't you set up a flag to restrain yourself and stop rushing out of the command area to celebrate?" ”

Everyone around suddenly looked at Yang Hao very interestingly.

Yang Hao is in a good mood and is also very single, "It's okay, it's okay, La Liga has 5 chances!" ”

Everyone laughed.

When everyone walked back, they saw the referee Arturo Ibanez with a gloomy face, standing there waiting, and whistled to signal Yang Hao to walk over.

Yang Hao ran over with a smile, received a yellow card willingly, turned around and ran back to the coach's command area.

"Boss, yellow card glory!"

"I've got a yellow card, I'm proud!"

"Come on, boss, you will become the first coach in La Liga to be suspended for a yellow card!"

Arturo Ibanez was embarrassed.

NND, every time I get a yellow card, the most I hear is complaining, accusing, or even scolding.

When did you see the yellow card given to this scene?

It's a game-changer!

What kind of people are this wonderful team of Atletico Madrid?

……

After Real Madrid's kick-off, the game officially ended.

The live TV camera swept all the players in the stadium and found that Real Madrid's players were generally depressed, while Atletico Madrid's players were elated.

Obviously this game is a draw.

The camera switches to the stands, and the Real Madrid fans are also very dissatisfied with the game, obviously difficult to accept this result.

After all, they were leading for dozens of minutes before being equalised.

Especially Florentino and King Juan Carlos were even more helpless and embarrassed.

In the last minute of their victory, they were equalised, which made them not feel disappointed.

The goals were brilliant and the game was destined to become a classic, but what they wanted was three points, a win over Atletico.

Cerezo and Hill Jr., who were also sitting in the stands, looked particularly happy.

2-2, draw away to Real Madrid, although it is a pity that we could not win, but to be able to draw at the Bernabeu against the superstar-studded Real Madrid is already a very proud thing.

And Yang Hao immediately turned around and celebrated the draw with all his assistants, the players on the bench, and the players who ran down from the field.

It looks like a draw, but it's a win!

……

There is no winner, only wonderful!

This is the headline of the match commentary published by the newspaper Ass after the race.

Real Madrid's mouthpiece could not hide the frustration of the game, believing that Real Madrid had been ahead for a long time, but in the last minute of the game, Xavi Alonso equalized with a long-range shot.

"It's a disappointing, but barely acceptable, result." Ace Bao drew a conclusion to this game.

The Real Madrid mouthpiece was building momentum for this game early on.

As early as a week ago, the Ass newspaper opened a special derby column, inviting major celebrities to write derby analysis, which can be said to have made a lot of money, and sales are also rising.

And the Marca newspaper.

For this derby, they specially dispatched 5 of the most elite reporters from all over the country to gather in Madrid, before the game, the two teams were transferred, the players were interviewed, the preparations were tracked, all kinds of intelligence were collected, and the arrangement of the two famous coaches Yang Hao and Bosque was deduced.

For this match, Marca believes that Atletico Madrid seems to be a draw, but it is actually a small victory.

Why?

Marca analyzed the trends before the game and believed that Atletico Madrid was fighting against the odds and must steal points in this game and snipe Real Madrid.

You must know that Real Madrid has only lost 1 game in the first 17 league games this season.

"Real Madrid is 4 points ahead of Atletico Madrid, which makes Atletico Madrid fall into passivity, and the gap must be shortened as soon as possible, so many people speculate that Yang Hao will adopt an aggressive style of play in this game and use his best opening attack to meet Real Madrid."

"I didn't expect that it was not Atletico Madrid who attacked in the opening game, but Real Madrid."

According to Marca, this is a battle between two famous coaches.

And the facts have also proved that Atletico Madrid, who sought stability at the beginning, advanced by retreating, and played defensive counterattacks, broke through Real Madrid's goal earlier.

But unfortunately, with the advantage of the superstar's personal strength, Atletico Madrid's defensive pressure was too great, and there were mistakes, and Real Madrid scored consecutive goals to complete the reversal.

"After the reversal, the situation changed completely."

"Atletico Madrid, in turn, dominated the situation on the field, but it was Real Madrid who was leading, and under Atletico Madrid's sharp attack and crazy pressing and oppression, it seemed a little uncomfortable, and even a little conservative in mentality."

Although, in the course of the game, Real Madrid also turned the situation around, but in general, in the period after the 2-1 score, Marca newspaper believes that Atletico Madrid actually performed better.

And for the whole game, a draw is a reasonable outcome.

But it was clearly a defeat for Real Madrid, who were confident before the game and wanted to extend their lead at home.

"Atletico also failed to achieve their strategic goals, and they did not close the four-point gap with Real Madrid."

"But at the Bernabeu, not being pulled away by Real Madrid is a rare thing in itself."

Marca newspaper believes that with the current situation of the season, the 37th round of La Liga, the same city derby in Calderón, is likely to be a key battle for the La Liga title.

"Perhaps, until that game, the two sides will really decide the winner!"

In addition to the newspapers As, Marca and Marca, large and small media in Spain, and even the media in Catalonia, have been covering the match.

Real Madrid manager Bosque admitted in his post-match press conference that Atletico deserved a draw in this game.

'It was disappointing not to win, we could have won but our opponents were very tenacious and they created a lot of chances.

'We always had chances to win, even in the last minute of the game we were still leading but it was a shame to lose two points at the end of the game, but that's what football is.

Bosque believes a four-point lead is not enough to ensure Real Madrid win the title this season.

"We need to do better."

But on the other hand, Yang Hao also commented at the post-match press conference, believing that Atletico Madrid deserved a victory.

'In fact, we dominated the pitch for most of the game.

'I just looked at the stats and we created more chances, more threats than our opponents, and we had to do better than our opponents in all the numbers.

Yang Hao believes that it is regrettable that Atletico Madrid failed to win this game.

"But I believe that after this game, we will improve and we will perform better."

Although he was not convinced by the result, Yang Hao still admitted that Real Madrid is indeed one of the strongest teams in European football.

Why add one?

"Because there's still us Atletico!" Yang Hao said with a smile.

This made all the media reporters in the audience laugh out loud.

"Everybody has a different understanding of football, some people like to watch superstars, but some people like to watch teamwork."

Yang Hao believes that there is no way for a team like Atletico Madrid to compete with Real Madrid for superstars, because there is no such financial resources.

"And it turns out that when we play more integrally, we don't perform worse than Real Madrid, or even better than them."

Yang Hao also refuted some of Real Madrid's claims, arguing that Atletico Madrid were the real frontrunners for most of the season.

"Yes, we made some mistakes and lost the leader, but that's normal, who doesn't make mistakes?"

"From the history of football to the present, no team has won all the championships, which proves that people make mistakes."

"By the same token, I'm sure Real Madrid will make mistakes, just when."

"The only thing I want to say to my players right now is to keep the spirit of tonight, hold back this energy, we have to keep chasing after it, I'm sure Real Madrid will make mistakes."

"If Real Madrid make a mistake, that's our chance!"

……

When Atletico drew 2-2 with Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium, the 18th round of La Liga was over.

The other highlight of this round came from Barcelona hosting Valencia.

If the Madrid derby caused an uproar throughout Spain and Europe, but more of a buzz and praise, the spotlight match at Camp Nou caused no less shock.

But more than that, there is disappointment, ridicule and accusations.

2-4, Barcelona suffered a heavy defeat at home to Valencia.

At first glance, it doesn't seem like much.

But in the 42nd minute, Valencia goalkeeper Canizares was sent off with a red card.

That is, for almost an hour, Barcelona had one more person than the other side.

Before Canizares came off, the score was 1-2, with Barcelona trailing by one goal.

But the game ended 2-4, and Barcelona was 2 goals behind.

Moreover, Kluivert's goal came in the last minute of the game.

How can this be acceptable to Barcelona fans?

It is hard for anyone to imagine that Barcelona can play such a field at home.

Previously, when Antic took over, everyone thought that the team had improved.

Unexpectedly, in the face of Valencia, it was immediately revealed again.

After the 17th round, Barcelona had climbed to 9th place in the La Liga standings.

But after losing to Valencia, it suddenly fell back to 13th place.

This has made the Barcelona hierarchy, especially the president Gaspart, once again face the bombardment and accusations of the Catalan media and fans.

The opposition, led by Laporta of the Blue Elephant fan club, is actively preparing to force Gaspat to step down voluntarily and re-elect the presidency this summer.

……

Three days later, the first leg of the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey was played.

Atletico travel to Huelva.

It's already a La Liga civil war.

The Sheets have just beaten Real Madrid and have made a big rotation in this game.

In the end, the team was held to a 0-0 draw away from home by Huelva and failed to win the opponent.

……

After returning to La Liga, the 19th round was ushered in.

The aftermath of the war continues.

Atletico drew 1-1 at home to Real Sociedad.

Real Madrid drew 1-1 away at Athletic Bilbao.

Neither team has been able to win against each other, and the gap in points is still 4 points.

Barcelona lost 2-0 away to Celta Vigo and dropped to 16th place in the league table, just one point behind 18th-placed Racing Santander.

Everyone has seen that Barcelona is really on the verge of relegation this season, dying and struggling.

Real Madrid won the halfway title of La Liga this season after this game.

In interviews with the media, many stars expressed their satisfaction with the result, threatening that the team must make persistent efforts in the second half of the season and must charge towards the treble.

The newspaper is also actively building momentum for its thighs, believing that in the history of La Liga, no team has ever won the treble.

And if there is, it must be the star-studded Real Madrid!

……

In midweek, the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals was played.

Atletico beat Huelva 1-0 at home thanks to a goal from Diego Forlan to advance to the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 1-0.

Real Madrid, Deportivo La Coruna and Real Mallorca also qualified.

After the draw, Atletico faced Real Mallorca, while Real Madrid met Deportivo La Coruna.

This is destined to be another brutal showdown.

……

February 1, Calderón Stadium, Madrid.

In the 20th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid hosted Barcelona.

Yang Hao encountered his predecessor again, and Antich also released cruel words early to defeat his opponent at Calderon Stadium.

One of Antic's most important tasks is to activate the stars in the team.

From Riquelme to Mendieta, it was all within his activation.

As a result, just six minutes into the game, a long-range shot from Baraja caused goalkeeper Bonano to get out of his hands, and Torres picked up a missed shot in front of the goal to open the scoring for Atletico.

1 to 0!

After that, Atletico continued to create chances.

In the midfield, the Sheets pressed with a high position, focusing on suppressing Riquelme, and then used Deco to contain Xavi, so that Barcelona's entire midfield was completely scrapped.

Atletico then continued to create chances.

Barcelona didn't play until the 27th minute of the game when Riquelme passed the ball and Mendieta shot from distance to make the first shot of the game.

One can imagine how embarrassed Barcelona is.

After that, Atletico's two wings were very active.

First, Reyes was in the middle of nobody's land on the left, dribbling past Puyol and Cristanval to shoot wide, and then Joaquín broke through on the right to burst Rezig into a sieve.

On one side, Atletico Madrid, whose morale is high, and on the other side is Barcelona, which is in a sluggish state.

Don't think twice about the results.

In the 39th minute, it was again from the right side of Joaquin and McConn, Torres stopped the ball to force De Boer, hit the goal with his feet in the penalty area, and scored a brace, expanding the score again, 2-0!

In the second half, Atletico Madrid's offense became more and more fierce, and the pressure on Barcelona became more and more intense, especially in the 55th minute, when Roshenbach fouled while defending Reyes, and after being shown a yellow card by the referee, he chattered endlessly, choked with the referee, and couldn't pull his teammates.

In the end, the referee took out another yellow card and directly sent Roshenbach off with a red card.

At this moment, the game is completely out of suspense.

In the 67th minute, Evra received Reyes's side ball on the left side, crossed to the goal, Torres pressed De Boer, and scored with a header, 3-0!

Hat-trick !!

The Atletico youngster is completely excited!

More than 50,000 Atletico fans in the stadium were also partying.

Subsequently, Atletico Madrid took advantage of the victory to pursue.

Three minutes later, a corner kick opportunity, Lucio scored with a header, 4-0!

Then, in the 81st minute, Deco sent a precise through ball to assist Reyes to successfully counter offside, form a single knife in the penalty area, and break the Barcelona goal again.

5 to 0!

In the 88th minute, the Barcelona backline, which had no intention of fighting, made a mistake in passing, and after being tackled by Drogba, who came on as a substitute, handed it to Joaquin, who burst into the right side of the penalty area with the ball and reversed the triangle pass.

Drogba followed up in the middle and shot angrily to break through Barcelona's goal!

The Ivorian monster was in the Barcelona penalty area and let out his roar!

Yang Hao watched it very well on the sidelines.

Another Calderón tragedy!

And it's not just because it's 6-0.

With the current morale of Barcelona and the state of Atletico Madrid, it is not surprising that more goals are scored.

He also saw Drogba break through Barcelona's goal, and he raised his eyebrows!

One word, cool!

Uh, seeing that everyone is reacting to the problem of points, I have to sort it out, I have written down the points of each game, but I don't know if it was missing, I am dizzy...... I'll check it again, thanks for the reminder. Kneel and beg for a monthly pass!
