After the 27th round of the La Liga league, Barcelona still tops the list with a 4-point lead.
Real Madrid has not lost the possibility of competing for the championship.
There are still 11 rounds of the league, and anything is possible.
After the league ended, the European war resumed.
Champions League The second round of the quarter-finals continued in an orderly manner in mid-week.
First match day.
Bad news came, Real Madrid drew 0:0 with Bayern Munich at their home court, and was eliminated with a total score of 1:2.
After losing Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid's Champions League results are already indistinguishable from Barcelona.
They are all so delicious.
In the final stage of the game, Haaland maliciously retaliated and trampled on the opponent's players. The referee directly took out Red Gem Promotion Card and sent him back to the locker room to calm down.
In the second half, Real Madrid lost control of his emotions. At the last moment, when Ramos had a corner kick opportunity, he rushed into the opponent's penalty area. When he jumped up, he elbowed the opponent's player. As a result, the referee also issued a Red Gem Promotion Card.
After this game, almost all the media criticized Real Madrid verbally and in writing.
Their behavior stained the white jersey they wore.
What is heartbreaking is that in another game that was played at the same time, Juventus, who was a guest at Luz Stadium, swept away the haze of the previous game. Cristiano Ronaldo showed off his power and completed a hat trick in the game, helping Juventus defeat Benfica 4:0 in Luz Stadium, and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 4:2.
They will compete with Bayern Munich for a spot in the finals.
Real Madrid was eliminated, and Cristiano Ronaldo helped Juventus advance successfully. This scene is really ironic.
Fans of Real Madrid once again set Chairman Florentino on fire.
Losing Cristiano Ronaldo not only reduced Real Madrid's attention, but more importantly, without Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid couldn't even advance to the finals in Champions League.
After Cristiano Ronaldo left, Hazard arrived and put on Cristiano Ronaldo's No. 7 jersey. However, with a glass-like physique, Hazard, the captain of the world's best team Belgium, could not help Real Madrid at all.
This season, the 2020 Golden Boy Award winner Haaland is visiting Real Madrid.
Although Haaland showed great personal strength and scored goals frequently, his hot temper and flamboyant personality made him unpopular among Real Madrid.
In the direct dialogue with Li Mingyu, the winner of 2021 Golden Boy Award, Haaland repeatedly fell behind.
Being eliminated in the quarter-finals, Haaland also came under crazy attack from the Madrid media.
In this game, Haaland was completely invisible. There was only one weak shot in the whole game.
After the game, Haaland received the lowest rating in the game.
Some media speculated that the downturn of Real Madrid and Haaland may have a big reason for the downturn of El Clasico last weekend.
In that game, although the final score was a draw, in terms of the process, it was a kind of psychological destruction for Real Madrid.
Especially Haaland, who faced Li Mingyu twice in the league, and got Red Gem Promotion Card both times, and his data was completely crushed by Li Mingyu.
Originally, Haaland never took Li Mingyu seriously. When he came to Real Madrid, he just wanted to go to a big platform to prove himself. Unexpectedly, he met the old enemy in his life.
Yes, in Haaland's heart, Li Mingyu has become his old enemy and inner demon. If he cannot defeat Li Mingyu head-on, then this pressure will be with him forever.
The arrival of the second match day.
Today is the second round of the two quarter-finals between Group C and Group D.
In the last game, Barcelona defeated Paris Saint-Germain at home 2:1, and the opponent's arrow figure, Mbappe, was sent off the field by Zhihong.
In this game, Mbappe is suspended and unable to play.
Therefore, in this game, the Paris Saint-Germain team formed a 4-3-3 lineup.
The goalkeeper is still Costa Rica, the national goalkeeper is Navas.
The four defenders are captain Kimpembe, Marquinhos, Florenzi and Diallo.
The three midfielders are Paredes, Herrera and Verratti.
There are three players in the frontcourt, Icardi in the center, Di Maria on the right and Neymar on the left.
This is a very offensive lineup, but the weak point of this lineup lies in the midfield and backfield. If Paris Saint-Germain's spear cannot pierce Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain's defense will undergo a huge test during a counterattack.
The good news for Paris Saint-Germain in this game is that the players of Barcelona are generally tired. El Clasico four days ago consumed too much of their energy.
In this game, Busquets had muscle tension and was not included in the squad. Pique also suffered a slight ankle sprain at the last moment due to the fight in the previous game and was unable to play in this game.
The two defensive generals in the midfield and backfield, Dinghaishenzhen, were unable to play, which made Barcelona's defense already full of loopholes even worse.
Today, Koeman's lineup is very solid.
4-3-2-1 Christmas Tree Formation, which was invented by the famous coach Capello of Italy.
Four defenders, three defensive midfielders, two attacking midfielders, and one forward.
This formation looks like a Christmas tree on the formation diagram, so it is named Christmas Tree Formation.
The biggest advantage of this formation is that when defending, there are enough midfielders without sacrificing the defense staff.
But the biggest disadvantage of this formation is that when attacking, it requires frequent pulling from the two full-backs, and for the midfielder, a player with extremely strong running ability is needed to fill in for the two wingers.
Back then, the reason why Capello dared to use such a Christmas Tree Formation was because the original AC Milan had two world-class central defenders, Maldini and Nesta, and Gattuso, an immortal iron man who could fill in at any time in the midfield, was able to carry forward this formation.
Capello originally used this "wretched" lineup, and now Italy has made the "1:0" tactic popular.
This game is very difficult for Barcelona.
Because Paris Saint-Germain lost the last game 1:2, but they had a valuable away goal.
In this game, as long as Paris Saint-Germain can defeat Barcelona 1:0, then Barcelona can be eliminated with this away goal.
After all, the two absolute cores of his midfield and backfield were unable to appear, which made Koeman feel unsure at all, so he had to resort to this set of Christmas Tree Formation, which was rarely used in training.
Goalkeeper Ter Stegen.
The four defenders are Mingueza, Lenglet, Alba and Eric Garcia.
Of these four defenders, only Alba is 33 years old this year. The other three players, the oldest is Lenglet, is only 26 years old. Together with the 23-year-old Mingueza and the 21-year-old Eric Garcia, Barcelona, this defense line can be considered very young.
Three defensive midfielders, De Jong in the middle, flanked by Pedri and Wijnaldum.
Pedri and De Jong are both in their early 20s.
The two attacking midfielders are Li Mingyu and Messi.
The leading forward player is Griezmann.
Without Busquets and Pique, this youth army of Barcelona is even younger.
At 21:00 on Wednesday evening, at Camp Nou, the much-anticipated quarter-finals of Champions League officially kicked off.
At the same time, last season's Serie A champion Inter Milan was a guest at last season's Premier League champion Manchester City's home court Etihad Stadium.
In the first round of the match between the two sides, Inter Milan drew 0:0 at home with Blue Moon.
This time when we came to Blue Moon's home court, Inter Milan felt like facing a formidable enemy.
With the referee's whistle, the two games started at the same time.
Back to Paris Saint-Germain's home court Parc des Princes.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully signing in Parc des Princes and obtaining the talent "Black Lightning" from Paris Saint-Germain legendary star George Weah.]
"Black Lightning" is the nickname of the Best FIFA Men's Player George Weah. Weah ran on the court like a black lightning.
George Weah is one of the most legendary figures in the football world.
From a football player to the president of a country.
Such a legendary experience is simply the protagonist of a novel.
In 2017, George Weah was inaugurated as the 25th president of Libya.
In the player era, George Weah was also one of the strongest players of that era.
He once won two personal honors, Ballon d'Or and the Best FIFA Men's Player, in 1995. The biggest regret in his career is that he never participated in the World Cup competition.
After all, Libya is just a small football country in Africa. Even though they have world-class players like George Weah, there is no way for them to change completely.
Li Mingyu took a look at his attributes. In the speed column, his data has reached 95 (99). Weah's "Black Lightning" talent has added a little bit to his speed attribute.
Don't underestimate this, it is a qualitative change for Li Mingyu.
The attribute change from 89 to 90 is a qualitative change.
From 1994 to 1995 it was another qualitative change.
After reaching 95, every improvement is a qualitative change for the players.
Li Mingyu I feel that my legs have become much lighter.
Paris Saint-Germain kicks off first.
Looking at Barcelona's neat defensive formation, Paris Saint-Germain's players also felt a little unable to make a move.
Koeman is a very practical coach. He will not choose to be a top player because of the dignity and honor of the team.
In this situation where there is a shortage of major generals, Christmas Tree Formation like this is the best choice for Barcelona who is one goal ahead.
Icardi of Paris Saint-Germain is starting in Champions League for the first time this season.
Icardi looked at FC Barcelona in front of him, and something strange flashed in his eyes.
Because Icardi is La Masia Training Camp from Barcelona.
Moreover, Messi in FC Barcelona is also his teammate in Argentina National Team.
Because he was incompatible with Barcelona's playing style, in the end, he left Barcelona and came to his other hometown, Italy.
As a dual nationality of Italy and Argentina, he finally chose Argentina as his representative team.
Icardi's skills are very comprehensive. As a pure center, he can only serve as a substitute for Mbappe in Paris Saint-Germain.
Mbappe's suspension today gave him an absolute chance.
In this game, Icardi must prove himself.
Moreover, for him, a better news is that Mbappe has chosen to leave Paris Saint-Germain. If Paris Saint-Germain does not choose to strengthen the center, then next season, Paris Saint-Germain's official center position will be none other than Icardi.
Icardi dribbled the ball forward, but was knocked directly to the ground from the side by De Jong.
The referee's whistle sounded.
Parc des Princes There was a deafening boo.
Icardi sat on the ground, looking helplessly at De Jong who was walking back.
De Jong's opening action was to tell Paris Saint-Germain that Barcelona's attitude is so tough today.
This is Barcelona's second foul. The first foul was at the kick-off. Neymar dribbled the ball forward and was pulled and pulled by Li Mingyu to stop it.
However, for these two fouls, the referee only gave a verbal warning and did not take out the card.
Barcelona used his two fouls after the opening to tell Paris Saint-Germain that in today's game, please don't step into our half at will.
Barcelona's defensive front retreated very quickly, leaving Griezmann alone in the middle circle. Behind him, Messi and Li Mingyu controlled the distance very well, and could be surrounded by three people at any time.
The three defensive midfielders were like a barrier, making it impossible for Paris Saint-Germain's offense to penetrate.
"Today, Barcelona's formation is very retro. Due to the injuries of two key defensive players, Koeman actually used the Christmas Tree Formation that was once popular in Italy. The midfield interception of three midfielders greatly restricted Paris Saint-Germain's offense."
"When Neymar dribbles, he is always surrounded by at least two players. I always feel that Barcelona has more people on the court."
"No, Icardi lost the ball, Barcelona launched a counterattack."
"Alba got the ball and he moved forward very quickly on the wing."
"Alba passed the ball to Li Mingyu, beautiful. Li Mingyu did not touch the ball, but made a fake move to touch the ball, allowing Verratti to miss. This time without the ball, Li Mingyu fully demonstrated his football intelligence."
"Li Mingyu continued to dribble. Li Mingyu's speed was too fast. He passed one person and then another. Was he going to shoot? No, he passed the ball. It was a wonderful pass. Li Mingyu tore through Paris Saint-Germain's defense with his scalpel-like pass."
"Messi succeeded in countering offside, a single goal, Messi passed goalkeeper Navas, and the ball went in!"
