All matches in the quarter-finals of the Champions League have been completed.

Atletico beat Liverpool 4-1 on aggregate to advance to the semi-finals.

In the other game, Barcelona beat the Blues 2-0 away after beating Chelsea 4-2 at home.

At Stamford Bridge, Mourinho can be regarded as raising his eyebrows.

He left Chelsea last summer because of a conflict with Chelsea's hierarchy.

Now, he returns to Stamford Bridge with Barcelona and beats Chelsea 2-0 6-2 on aggregate in a high-profile game to advance to the semi-finals right behind Atletico Madrid.

And judging from the draw before the Champions League, Atletico Madrid will meet Barcelona in the semi-finals.

Liverpool and Chelsea have lost one after another, and the three giants of the Premier League have lost this duel in the Champions League.

The next morning, the British media were full of mourning, hoping that the Red Devils and Manchester United could fight for a breath, preferably against Real Madrid at Old Trafford, and save face for the Premier League.

With a 1-2 away loss, the possibility of a home reversal is still very high.

But at Old Trafford that evening, Arsene Wenger explained to the Premier League what he had transformed in two years at Real Madrid.

It's not that he pulled his hips too much and couldn't win the La Liga championship, but that he met Yang Hao's Atletico Madrid in La Liga.

But what about in European football?

Just nine minutes into the game, Ronaldo took advantage of Beckham's diagonal long pass to open the scoring for Real Madrid.

Although Wayne Rooney equalised for United in the 33rd minute.

But in the 43rd minute, a cross from right wing-back Lahm gave Ronaldo another goal.

Whether it is Ronaldo or Beckham, they have shown very good form when facing their old clubs.

After the restart of the second half, United equalised again in the 53rd minute when Giorgio Chiellini scored from a corner.

Uh, is there a mistake?

Actually, there is no mistake, Chiellini "helped" Manchester United to score.

It was an own goal.

The Italian centre-back accidentally headed the ball into his own goal when he was battling with Vidic.

But just six minutes later, it was Beckham, it was still Ronaldo, and the Portuguese scored a hat-trick.

3 to 2!

And in the 84th minute, David Beckham scored the fourth goal for Real Madrid.

4 to 2!

With an aggregate score of 6-3, Real Madrid defeated the Red Devils Manchester United!

In his post-match press conference, Arsene Wenger cheerfully told everyone that Real Madrid were in the best of times.

And everyone can see that Wenger and Real Madrid have a common goal, that is, the Champions League!

Cristiano Ronaldo scored a hat-trick and performed brilliantly.

At the Estadio Pizjuán in Sevilla, after losing 3-2 away to Inter Milan, Juan de Ramos' side capitalised on an opening attack to score a valuable goal.

Subsequently, Inter Milan fought back frantically, especially in the second half, almost desperately attacking.

Adriano was alone in the front court and played very hard, but unfortunately he couldn't turn the situation around.

Today's Inter Milan is really relying on Adriano in front.

Without the Brazilian, Inter Milan's overall strength will drop a notch.

Not to mention the quarterfinals of the Champions League, it is a question whether or not you can qualify from the group.

In the end, Sevilla eliminated Inter Milan with an aggregate score of 3-3 and an away goal advantage.

In the Champions League semi-finals, Real Madrid will meet Sevilla.

In this way, the entire semi-finals of the Champions League were once again swept by La Liga.

Atletico against Barcelona and Real Madrid against Sevilla.

The Champions League semi-finals have once again become a La Liga matchup, which has not only caused a lot of discussion in European football, but also has the media and fans around the world vying for discussion.

As German Kicker magazine put it in its midweek Champions League special, La Liga's strength is already an obvious problem, and UEFA is facing an awkward situation in the Champions League.

Last season, La Liga was drawn in the Champions League quarterfinals, but there were still three La Liga teams in the semi-finals.

And what about this season?

The four La Liga teams are all the best teams in the Premier League and Serie A, but the result?

"Even Sevilla have overthrown Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Barcelona have eliminated Manchester United and Chelsea, which makes everyone have to face up to the question, how to stop La Liga?"

Kicker Magazine believes that the Champions League is the Champions League of European football, but there is now a trend of turning into the Champions League of La Liga.

The German media believes that UEFA should consider how to balance the current European football?

It is clearly unreasonable to continue to let La Liga dominate the Champions League.

The appeal of the German media is really not unfounded.

After playing in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the results of the quarter-finals of the League Cup were also out.

Villarreal beat Bayer Leverkusen 1-0 at home to beat Bundesliga 4-1 away to advance to the semi-finals of the UEFA Cup 5-1 on aggregate.

Valencia defeated PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie 4-0 on aggregate with a score of 2-0 home and away and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.

Deportivo La Coruna drew 0-0 at home to Sporting Lisbon and then beat the Portuguese side 2-0 away from home thanks to a brace from Ruud van Nisboay to advance to the semi-finals.

And what about another one?

Bundesliga hegemons Bayern Munich take on Getafe.

It is worth mentioning that Getafe are currently 14th in La Liga, just five points away from Zaragoza in the relegation zone.

But this La Liga team was 1-1 in both legs in the quarterfinals of the League Cup, and drew 2-2 with the Bundesliga hegemon.

The two teams then played extra time but still failed to score and eventually went to a penalty shootout.

Bayern Munich eventually defeated Getafe on penalties.

Heathfield said publicly in his post-match press conference that Getafe's performance was unexpected.

"La Liga has grown very significantly in recent years and they have a huge advantage."

One of the advantages that Heathfield said is that the relatively low cost of players and salaries is very low.

Backed by the Portuguese Super League and the big Latin American back, La Liga has been able to build a very competitive team with relatively low transfer fees and player salaries, which is not available in other leagues.

In addition, Spain's investment in local youth training in recent years is also obvious to all.

Not only the investment of various clubs, but also the investment of the Spanish Football Federation and La Liga in youth training every year is also very powerful.

This has allowed Spain to produce a steady stream of youth talent.

Heathfield said La Liga is the veritable number one league in European football today.

"The Bundesliga should learn from La Liga, whether it is in the business field, league operations, or player development, La Liga has a lot to learn from the Bundesliga."

Instead, it was Getafe coach Laudrup, who was clearly very unhappy with his team's elimination from the tournament by Bayern.

After all, Getafe is dragging La Liga back.

Before the game, almost all the Spanish media were expecting La Liga to win the entire eight semi-finals of the Champions League and the UEFA Cup, and Sevilla FC showed a strong performance to beat Inter Milan to qualify.

As a result, Getafe failed to win Bayern.

Laudrup said that the reason why Getafe failed to win Bayern Munich was that the team's top scorer in the second half of the season, Diego Forlan, did not play in the UEFA Cup.

Because he represented Chelsea in the Champions League in the first half, he can't play for Getafe in the UEFA Cup anymore according to the rules.

As a result, Getafe created more chances than Bayern Munich in the game, but they just couldn't beat their opponents.

Not to mention European football, the media around the world is in an uproar.

The team on the verge of the relegation zone in La Liga has the ability to compete with Bayern Munich.

If it's just a single matchup, it can be said to be an accidental phenomenon.

But the problem is that Getafe are now evenly matched with Bayern Munich over two legs.

There is no harm without contrast.

When the quarterfinals of the Champions League and the League Cup were played, the whole European football scene was very hotly discussed.

There are even many media speculating that if La Liga continues to be so strong, then the Champions League will not have to be played in the future, and it will completely become a civil war for La Liga teams, and what will happen to the other three major leagues?

Platini also showed an attitude in an interview with authoritative media.

When there are too many solo teams in competitions like the Champions League and the UEFA Cup, it's certainly not a good sign.

This is true for one team, and the same is true for a league.

But the problem now is that UEFA can't come up with a good way to limit La Liga.

Previously, it was proposed to limit the transfer investment of La Liga teams in terms of finances.

But Platini was very blunt about telling everyone that UEFA's financial health clause is being prepared, but the biggest resistance is not La Liga, but other leagues, especially the Premier League.

The reason is simple, La Liga has a stricter budget scrutiny.

If UEFA reviews after the season, then La Liga has already reviewed the budget for the coming season at the beginning of the season, preempting UEFA's self-review.

There are also proposals to restrict the introduction of foreign investment in La Liga.

Platini made it clear that this is unrealistic and that UEFA does not have such powers.

'I've been calling for it in the past, I've always used Atletico as a benchmark, calling on clubs from other leagues to learn from the best squad in European football, with UEFA's healthiest financial health.

"Starting next season, La Liga will fulfill a new broadcast contract, which will allow La Liga to earn 50 million euros even if it is a team that is relegated from the bottom of the league, which is the key factor for La Liga to continue to widen the gap with other leagues."

Platini said that many prescient investors are eyeing La Liga.

In the coming years, La Liga will further recruit some of Europe's best footballing talent, with some of the lowest tax rates in European football, something that no other league can compete with.

So can you get La Liga to change the tax rate?

It can't be either!

Because it involves the domestic politics of Spain.

The so-called Beckham Act is nothing more than a reflection of the tax incentives proposed by the Spanish government to attract elite talents from all over the world in football, and if La Liga wants to remove the Beckham Act, it must be done by the Spanish government to repeal their talent tax incentives.

Is this realistic?

Nowadays, the Spanish football industry is booming, and countless foreign investors are paying attention and actively preparing to land, under such circumstances, how can Spain do stupid things that waste their arms?

Platini said that instead of expecting this, it would be more realistic to call on the governments of the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy to collect less taxes and try to bring the tax rate closer to Spain to improve their competitiveness.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this possibility is almost non-existent.

Want European governments to spit out the money they swallowed in their stomachs?

Is it thinking too much?

……

The western suburb of Barcelona, Gamble Sports City.

Ahead of the 32nd round of La Liga, Jose Mourinho held an internal meeting of the coaching staff.

At the meeting, Mourinho made it clear that he would spend the next two weeks preparing for the Champions League semi-finals.

"This game in Calderón Madrid will be the most important game of the season!"

Mourinho told his assistant with great certainty.

He has already reached an agreement with the Barcelona management, including president Joan Laporta and technical director Begiristan.

That's La Liga this season, and Barcelona is hopeless.

Therefore, the team now needs to adjust all its resources and focus on the Champions League.

'Atletico are on their unbeaten run and they won't and can't give up on the league.'

"I know Yang Hao, and I also know Atletico Madrid that he brought out, and the team's number one goal this season is to be undefeated!"

"They only need to hold on for seven more games this season to remain unbeaten and win the title."

When he said this, Mourinho showed a look of envy.

"It's a temptation that no manager can refuse!"

There has only been one unbeaten title in the history of Europe's top leagues, and that was the Milan dynasty in the nineties.

Now, there are still many Serie A fans who are stubbornly resisting, and they believe that Atletico Madrid's unbeaten record is not as good as that of the Milan dynasty, and a very important reason is that Atletico Madrid failed to win the title undefeated.

In the insiders, everyone knows that this statement is very nonsense.

Because Atletico Madrid's victory is far greater than that of the Milan dynasty.

But this can't stop the public opinion is arguing, from the media to the fans, anyway, Italy is now trying to find out the chips in its favor.

There is a big one, as long as you don't win the championship undefeated, even if you have more undefeated games than the Milan dynasty, there is no gold content.

Yang Hao and Atletico Madrid didn't say anything, but they used practical actions to tell everyone that they are still persistent, and the goal is to win the championship undefeated!

This is indeed a very challenging goal.

To some extent, the Champions League will be there every year, but such a long unbeaten record is basically impossible to come back in the future.

Especially considering that the next La Liga competition will become more and more fierce.

"I'm pretty sure they're going to do their best in the league and we're going to have to prepare for this game in two weeks to get a relatively favourable score in the first leg at the Emirates Stadium in Madrid!"

Mourinho didn't say it explicitly, but the implication was clear.

That's the next two La Liga games, and they won't give it their all.

It's a strategy.

In a way, this is also a very wise choice.

The only trouble is that one of these two games is a Barcelona derby.

Laporta's request is that he can't lose this game and do his best to win it.

Because this is Barça's home stadium.

Mourinho agreed.

'A lot of words, in front of the media and the fans, in front of the players, even on weekdays, we don't say it.

Mourinho looked at the crowd in front of him, and this time he was really determined to gamble on it.

"I'm sure everybody in this room, including me, knows very well that Atletico Madrid is the strongest team in world football today, and if we don't give everything we can and use all kinds of subjective and objective factors, it will be difficult, if not impossible, for us to beat Atletico at the Emirates Stadium."

"But now, we can make sacrifices, we can make sacrifices."

"This is the only chance we have this season to go to Russia and play in the Champions League final, and we must not lose this opportunity, just as the West cannot afford to lose Jerusalem!"

"So, I need the full cooperation of everyone in you here, unconditionally!"

In the end, Mourinho was already in a commanding tone, not a negotiation.

This made everyone have a thought, but anyone who dragged him back would be killed by him.

……

La Liga Round 32.

Valencia narrowly beat Racing Santander 2-1 at home.

Carlo Ancelotti's team has been quite consistent after playing on two fronts.

After a year, it was clear to all of them that Valencia had potential.

As long as the Abu Dhabi consortium is determined to operate, Valencia's next strength will never lose to Real Madrid, Barcelona, or even Atletico Madrid.

Why?

Because the Abu Dhabi consortium is not only rich, but the management, led by Mubarak, has great respect for the professional advice of professionals and coaching staff, especially head coach Carlo Ancelotti.

The simplest example.

Carlo Ancelotti asked for a bench player during the winter break, and the likes of Sneijder and Banega were introduced.

This is tantamount to injecting strong stamina into Valencia.

It is also the most terrifying place in the future of the Bat Legion.

Jose Mourinho's Barcelona were twice equalised by Huelva after leading twice on the road.

On the contrary, it was Deschamps' Super Laco, who beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 at home in this round.

Atletico beat Valladolid 2-0 away in this round.

Real Madrid beat Murcia 1-0 at home with Yaya Toure scoring goalscorer.

Villarreal lost 1-0 away to Almeria.

The current La Liga can really be said to be a mess of gruel.

Every round, every game, is full of suspense.

With the exception of the top teams such as Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Valencia, it is almost impossible for any team to dare to say before the game that they can beat their opponents and win with certainty.

Especially away from home.

……

Round 33 of La Liga.

Atletico host Real Betis.

After conceding a goal in the opening 14 minutes, Atletico scored three goals in a row, and finally reversed Real Betis 3-1 thanks to three goals from Messi, Torres and Kaka.

Real Madrid won 2-0 away at Racing Santander thanks to goals from Raul and Gonzalo Higuain.

Among them, Higuain's goal was scored in the 93rd minute.

And what really caught Yang Hao's attention were the other two games.

Sevilla suffered a 4-1 defeat at home to Almeria.

It was a very unusual game.

After Yang Hao heard the news, he took a special look at Sevilla's game report and got a general idea of Atletico Madrid's scouts' views on this game, that is, Juan de Ramos wanted to retain his strength to play in the Champions League, so he rotated.

As a result, just 30 minutes into the first half, Unai Emery's team scored two goals in a row.

After that, Sevilla were eager for an equaliser, and Almeria scored two goals in four minutes, until a goal was scored by Canoute in the 72nd minute.

In the end, it was a 1-4 defeat at home.

As for Barcelona's home game against Espanyol, it is also reserved for the Champions League semi-finals.

Mourinho hid a number of powerful players including Diego Milito, Thierry Henry, Ronaldinho and Xavi, trying to win the opponent with young players such as Dos Santos and Bojan.

As a result, he couldn't attack for a long time and failed to win the opponent in the first half.

Jose Mourinho made a second-half substitution in the hope of turning the tide but could not do anything in the end.

Valverde created a 4,231 formation for Espanyol in this game, and defended very tightly, allowing Jose Mourinho's side to fail to score at Camp Nou.

But both sides paid a terrible price in this game.

A total of seven players from Barcelona have received yellow cards, while Espanyol also have seven players with yellow cards, giving 14 yellow cards in a single game and no red cards.

I have to say that the competition was very intense, but they were both more restrained.

In the end, 0-0, the two sides shook hands.

Barcelona didn't lose, and neither did Espanyol.

Not only that, but after the game, the Catalan media did not report much on the game, and also did not criticize Mourinho too much for not winning the derby.

Even Cruyff, whose column does not change every day, rain or shine, has stopped updating this time.

Barcelona can be said to have invested all its resources into it.

……

On the evening of April 22, the Emirates Stadium in Madrid.

In the Champions League semifinals, Atletico Madrid hosted Barcelona.

As soon as the whistle blew, Barcelona took the lead in attacking.

Atletico Madrid, who are playing at home, are still playing a safe start.

In the Champions League knockout matchup, it is very fatal to give the opponent an away goal at home.

Therefore, Yang Hao started more cautiously, hoping that the team could control the ball and rhythm.

From the first minute of the game, Barcelona was completely engaged, going all out, even running at the expense of physical strength, trying to take advantage of the opening attack and catch Atletico by surprise.

Yang Hao had to make a difficult choice before the game.

Thiago Silva is back from injury and has played two La Liga games and has performed well, but will he be able to adapt to the intensity of the Champions League semi-finals?

If Thiago Silva is not played, it will be Ramos and Pepe, plus Neuer, which is another auspicious trio.

How is it arranged?

After consultation with the coaching staff, Yang Hao finally chose to believe in Ramos and Pepe.

And Yang Hao has repeatedly warned this pair of living treasures to stay focused at all times in the game.

Judging by the start of the game, Ramos and Pepe both did well.

In the tense atmosphere created by Barcelona's attack, they were able to stabilize and play normally.

Even after the opening, they each had a very good defense.

This made Yang Hao feel a lot more relieved to watch on the sidelines.

Barcelona also accepts it when it is good.

As soon as he saw that the opening rush was unsuccessful, he immediately turned to the defense.

Atletico gradually stabilized their position, adopted their best passing and cutting play, and took turns to attack Barcelona with ferociousness.

As Yang Hao expected, Mourinho once again offered a three-back style of play.

Goalkeepers: Valdés;

Defence: Abidal, Puyol, Bruno Alves and Zambrotta;

Midfielders: Mohamed Diarra, Thiago Motta and Xavi;

Forwards: Ronaldinho, Diego Milito and Sato'o Eto'o.

It is said that it is 433, but in fact, in the game, it can be seen that Ronaldinho and Eto'o are actively retreating to the midfield.

In the 13th minute, Messi burst into the right side of the Barcelona penalty area with the ball, and it was Ronaldinho's timely return to the defense that blocked Messi's pass from the bottom line.

Yang Hao was a little stunned from the sidelines.

Even, he wondered if he was wrong.

Ronaldinho actually defended near the baseline?

What exactly did Mourinho give him Ecstasy?

Atletico were awarded three corners in a row, but none of them were able to score the back of the net.

In the 16th minute, Messi cut horizontally with the ball on the right rib, completely disrupting Barcelona's three backs, and sent a direct pass, Robben cut into the penalty area on the left side and crossed.

Drogba missed a point in front of him, and Kaka followed up and calmly pushed and hit the goal to open the scoring for Atletico Madrid!

1 to 0!

After scoring the lead, Atletico was in high spirits and continued to launch a fierce attack on Barcelona.

The attack of the Sheets Corps was like a tide, pushing wave after wave.

And just two minutes after Kaka's goal, Messi created another excellent killing on the right side.

The Argentine shook Abidal and passed straight into the right side of the penalty area, Drogba stopped the ball and stabbed it a little, and when he hit the goal again, he was saved by Valdés, who was on the stroke in time, and missed a chance to extend the score.

Atletico then attacked non-stop.

In this game, Barcelona's once proudest passing possession was done very badly.

It can be said that except for Ronaldinho and Xavi, the other players can't hold the ball at all.

Even Diego Milito has frequent passing errors.

It is conceivable that Atletico will have an increasing advantage in passing and possession.

But Atletico also encountered a new problem after dominating the pass possession.

That is, when a team as strong as Barcelona tore off their faces and adopted a dense defense, Atletico Madrid's attack is also in very big trouble.

Drogba's stoppage is the best proof of that.

When Mourinho compressed Barcelona's defense to the extreme and became very dense, Messi's pass did tear a hole, but the space left for Drogba to handle the ball was very, very small.

He had the slightest flaw, and he was immediately blocked by Barcelona's defenders.

This requires a high level of skill from the players.

It's not just one time, and Barça have been using this defensive tactic.

Throughout the first half, Atletico Madrid kept organizing and planning attacks, and Barcelona kept defending and defending strictly.

Atletico Madrid had 73.3% possession between the two sides, while Barcelona only had 26.7%.

In the entire first half, Barcelona only had 2 shots on goal and had no shots on target.

Samuel Eto'o and Ronaldinho have even dropped back to defend frequently.

Yang Hao has to admit that in terms of making players serve his life, Mourinho does have his own unique personality charm.

And Barcelona's pass success rate is even a little over 7%.

It is conceivable how bad Barcelona played in the entire first half!

Yang Hao has no doubt that Mourinho's Barcelona is going farther and farther on the road of anti-Barcelona.

Even in the second half, Yang Hao continued to move the team's center of gravity forward, wanting to seize the opportunity to further expand the score.

This has sent Atletico back on an attacking frenzy.

Especially in the 51st minute, Iniesta, Kaka, and Messi passed continuously on the periphery of Barcelona's penalty area, constantly pulling, and finally Messi burst into the penalty area and sent a direct pass.

Drogba forced his way past Bruno Alves with his body and fired a furious shot that hit the right-hand post and bounced back.

Messi followed up and hit the crossbar again.

Then Robben rushed up and, under the entanglement of Zambrotta, barely got up and hit the side netting, which ended the wave of attacks.

One attack, two hits, have you ever seen such bad luck?

Mourinho also realized the danger and made decisive adjustments, did not make substitutions, and directly returned the team.

At this time, Barcelona formed a formation similar to 550.

Yang Hao really had to shout: Awesome!

Mourinho really wants nothing to win!

He's given up all he's had!

Time is ticking by.

By the 65th minute, Atletico Madrid suppressed Barcelona for a long time, but it couldn't attack for a long time, the team slowed down the offensive, retreated appropriately, and wanted to play steadily and patiently with Barcelona.

After all, Atletico are now leading by one goal.

But in the 73rd minute, Barcelona suddenly played a counterattack.

Alves couldn't get back into position as soon as he stepped in, and Ronaldinho dribbled from the left to the left and rushed towards Atletico's box.

Xavi Alonso was in hot pursuit, but Ronaldinho's dribbling ability was excellent, and the Spanish midfielder couldn't find a chance to get his feet down, and in order to avoid being rushed into the box by Ronaldinho, Xavi Alonso was fouled 25 yards from goal.

The referee gave a yellow card and gave Barcelona a chance to take a free-kick.

This made Yang Hao a little worried.

He even had the feeling that Ronaldinho wanted a free-kick opportunity.

Before entering the 30-metre area, Xavi Alonso was tugging, but he didn't fall until he reached the ground.

The Brazilians want to get as close to the box as possible, close to the goal.

Ronaldinho's free-kick skills are also extremely high.

And just when Yang Hao was worried, the Brazilian superstar quickly took a direct free kick.

The ball flew into the right side of Atletico's goal with great speed in a very strange arc.

Neuer's concentration was very focused, and the whole person quickly pounced sideways, but the ball was extremely fast, and there was a clear drop, and the German goalkeeper directly saved the air.

The ball goes into the net.

1 to 1!

Yang Hao shook his head from the sidelines.

Ronaldinho's free-kick is really, really strong!

Subsequently, although Atletico Madrid launched a frantic offensive and Yang Hao made continuous substitutions to strengthen the attack, he never broke through Barcelona's goal again.

1-1, Atletico Madrid gave Barcelona a valuable away goal at home.

……

After the game, Mourinho's extremely conservative 550 tactics were treated differently in Spain.

In the Catalan region, both the media and the fans have praised and affirmed Mourinho's line-up for this game, believing that it was a very high-quality game.

In other parts of Spain, Mourinho's tactical style of play has been criticised as an anti-football.

What is more surprising is that Cruyff, the godfather of Barcelona, who has always regarded ball control as his life, continued to stop changing columns.

And three days later, La Liga ushered in the 34th round.

Barcelona did not hesitate to lose 2-0 away to Deportivo La Coruna.

Everyone knows that Mourinho is actively preparing for the game.

Barcelona have completely abandoned La Liga and as long as they can keep the top four, they don't care.

Atletico drew 1-1 away at Getafe.

After being knocked out of the UEFA Cup, Laudrup's side were bent on playing only in La Liga, fighting for relegation and doing their best at home.

Yang Hao is also staying for the second leg of the Champions League, so this game did not play the main force, and both sides scored 1 goal each.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, beat Athletic Bilbao 3-0 at home to keep the pressure on Atletico Madrid.

Arsene Wenger's side are now very competitive in the second half of the campaign.

……

On the evening of April 29, the Camp Nou in Barcelona.

In the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Atletico Madrid challenged Barcelona away.

Barcelona played an extremely conservative game at the Camp Nou.

Mourinho spent almost the entire game in a tightly defended iron bucket formation, carrying out the 550 throughout.

What's even more outrageous is that in the second half, seeing that Atletico Madrid's offensive became more and more fierce, he even did not hesitate to replace attackers such as Diego Milito and Ronaldinho, and replaced players such as Edmilson and Thuram.

In the end, Barcelona couldn't wait to replace all 11 players on the field with defenders, and all of them were blocked in front of the goal.

Atletico are attacking like crazy, but Barcelona defends stubbornly.

In the end, Jose Mourinho's side held on to 0-0 and did not allow Atletico to score.

This made Yang Hao very unexpected.

In the two-legged match, Barcelona's attack also caused Atletico Madrid problems several times, but Jixiang Sambo really did not make mistakes in these two games.

But Atletico Madrid really can't come up with a very effective way in the face of Barcelona's strict defense of the iron bucket formation.

This is like Yang Hao's previous life, Pep Guardiola's Barcelona played against Mourinho's Inter Milan at home.

The only difference is that Jose Mourinho's side did not have a red card, and it was a 0-0 draw at home to Atletico Madrid with a full number of personnel.

Moreover, the entire Camp Nou, nearly 100,000 fans, were cheering for Mourinho's Barcelona.

This made everyone feel the almost insane hunger of Barcelona for victory.

As long as they can beat Atletico, as long as they can win, as long as they can win the title, they don't care what tactics they use.

Even if it's the Iron Bucket Array that they once hated!

Atletico drew 0-0 away at Barcelona with an aggregate score of 1-1, but Barcelona eliminated Atletico Madrid and reached the Champions League final thanks to Ronaldinho's valuable away goal.

The other team was Real Madrid, who beat Sevilla 4-0 on aggregate with a 1-0 away leg and 3-0 at home in the first leg.

Real Madrid met Barcelona, and this Champions League final was also full of gimmicks.

As for the Champions League semi-final loss, the outside media and fans did not blame Atletico Madrid in the slightest, but more regrets.

Possession was around 73 per cent in both games, creating plenty of chances, but in the face of Mourinho's tight defense, Atletico's attacks were in vain.

In the end, I can only return with hatred.

Both the media and the fans expressed understanding.

Breaking the Iron Bucket Array is a problem that has existed since ancient times.

Yang Hao said with a wry smile, "We can put all our energy on La Liga!" ”

……

After being knocked out of the Champions League, Atletico then put all their energy into La Liga.

In the 35th round, Atletico Madrid defeated Huelva 6-0 at home, venting all the anger at Camp Nou on the unlucky Huelva, and Yang Hao's team was completely crazy.

And three days later, in the 36th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid slaughtered Espanyol 4-0 away.

Although the Spaniards are the sworn enemies of Barcelona in the same city, the sworn enemies of the same city are also the same city, and the first to kill is respectful!

In the 37th round of La Liga at the weekend, Atletico Madrid beat Deportivo La Coruna 2-0 at home.

It was also after this match that Atletico Madrid claimed the trophy of this season's La Liga.

Atletico Madrid had already won the championship ahead of schedule, and this award was also expected by all fans.

Fans of the Sheets Army are not sorry that the team was eliminated from the Champions League, after all, there is no team in this world that wins forever, and it is normal to lose.

What's more, despite losing, Atletico Madrid has won praise from the media and fans around the world.

On the contrary, it was Mourinho's Barcelona, although they won, but their extremely conservative style of play made them criticized.

Therefore, Atletico Madrid fans were still very happy, celebrating the first trophy to be lifted at the Emirates Stadium.

Neither the Spanish Super Cup, the UEFA Super Cup nor the Club World Cup were lifted at the Emirates Stadium before.

In La Liga, the home team lifted the championship trophy, which not only excited the 76,500 fans at the Emirates Stadium, but also the fans celebrating in the square outside the stadium.

Countless Atletico Madrid fans across the city took to the streets to celebrate all night.

A week later, Atletico beat Carlo Ancelotti's Valencia 3-1 away.

At this point, the 07/08 season of La Liga has come to an end.

With a record of 38 games, 33 wins and 5 draws, Atletico broke the record for the highest league points in La Liga history with a staggering 104 points.

Even in the early years, there were 22 teams in La Liga, and when they played 42 rounds, none of them could break 100 points.

This is also the first time in the history of La Liga that a team has won the championship with an unbeaten record.
