The UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw will have to wait another week.

Before that, Atletico Madrid had another league game, their opponent was Athletic Bilbao, and Atletico Madrid played at home.

In this game, the "GG combination" of Gao Zheng and Griezmann showed off again. Gao Zheng scored two goals, and Griezmann assisted and scored a goal.

Helped the team beat Athletic Bilbao 3:1 at home.

Gao Zheng raised his personal goals to fifteen by scoring twice.

At the same time, he also surpassed Neymar and Suarez in the league scorer list, and took the top scorer list with 15 goals.

This is not the first time Gao Zheng has sat in this position this season. For Gao Zheng's supporters, Gao Zheng has just regained what belongs to him.

What makes Atletico Madrid fans even happier is that in this round of the league, Barcelona has tied again!

They were tied 2:2 by Deportivo at home.

Exactly the same as the last round of the league, Barcelona also conceded the ball in the 86th minute this time and was tied by Deportivo.

In two consecutive games, the opponent scored an equalizer in the 86th minute. It is really surprising that such a thing can happen to Barcelona.

At the same time, Real Madrid also unexpectedly lost 0:1 away to Villarreal in this round of the league.

It's unbelievable that neither competitor won.

Atletico Madrid now has 39 points, while Barcelona only has 32 points. Real Madrid is even worse. They have not yet surpassed 30 points. They currently have 29 points, ranking third.

Simeone's plan to maximize his lead in the league actually worked.

What a surprise.

Next is the draw for the Champions League round of 16.

Because Atletico Madrid is the first in the group, they will play away first and then at home. This schedule is beneficial to the first team in the group. After all, the guest first and then the host means that you still have the opportunity to return to the home court to correct the mistakes you made in the first round.

The situation of the first round of the final round of 16 finals is as follows:

Paris Saint-Germain hosts Chelsea.

Benfica drew Zenit St. Petersburg.

And Wolfsburg became the most envied team, because they drew the "special prize" Gent.

When the results of the on-site draw came out, representatives of other teams cast envious and jealous eyes on the representatives of Wolfsburg.

Roma and Real Madrid will stage a horse race in the round of 16 to see whose horse runs faster.

Juventus face Bayern Munich.

Arsenal had the misfortune to meet Barcelona.

Manchester City drew a good draw, and their opponent is Dynamo Kyiv.

Atletico Madrid's signing is not bad, their opponent is Eindhoven.

Although Gent was not drawn, they also avoided the three strong teams of Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Arsenal.

If Atletico Madrid can successfully reach the quarter-finals, there will also be a draw to determine who their opponents in the quarter-finals will be.

After the results of the draw came out, Atletico Madrid also ushered in the second round of the fourth round of the Copa del Rey.

In the first round, they defeated the West Second team Reus 2:1 away.

The second round this time is their home game.

Although Atletico Madrid only led by one goal in the first round, it seemed unsafe, but Simeone still adopted a rotation lineup and did not let the main players play.

Gao Zheng didn't even make the big list.

It is estimated that if he wants to participate in the King's Cup, he will have to wait for the next game.

At that time, it will be the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey.

In the end, Atletico Madrid beat Reus 1-0 at home and successfully advanced to the quarter-finals of the Copa del Rey.

The competition will be held on January 6th and January 14th next year.

Last season, Gao Zheng missed the Copa del Rey at this stage because he participated in the Asian Cup. By the time he returned, Atletico Madrid had been knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Barcelona.

So he only scored one goal in the Copa del Rey last season.

But this season, without the interference of the Asian Cup, maybe he can score more goals in the King's Cup?

Last season's La Liga actually had a winter break. For example, the sixteenth round of the league last season ended on December 21st, and the next round of the league was on January 3rd of the second year. There are about ten days or so in the middle, and the holidays left for the players are one week.

This is the winter break of La Liga.

La Liga's winter break has always been very short, about the same time as Serie A.

The longest winter break among the five major leagues is the Bundesliga, which usually takes five weeks off.

This has something to do with the climate of each place. Western Europe has a maritime climate, and the winter is not too cold, especially in Spain. Many British people even go to Spain for vacation in winter because of the warmer sunshine here.

Germany, on the other hand, has a typical continental climate, with naturally colder and longer winters.

However, this season's La Liga will have no winter break at all.

This is because there will be the European Cup in the summer of 2016, and the leagues of various countries will end earlier than usual. The schedule is dense, and the natural winter break will be compressed.

Originally, La Liga's winter break was short, so it was simply canceled this time.

The last league game of 2015 was on December 31, between Villarreal and Valencia.

The first league game in 2016 is January 2nd, where the Spaniard will host Barcelona, ​​the Catalan derby.

There is only one day in the middle, which shows how dense the schedule is.

And such an intensive game will definitely put higher demands on the players' physical fitness and body.

Gao Zheng will return to China frequently to participate in the World Cup qualifiers during this process. I'm afraid he will have to work harder this season.

It really echoed the "famous saying" of Six Star Sports: "For the sake of Chinese football, Gao Zheng, please grit your teeth again!"

Perhaps it was because of Barcelona's repeated mistakes that Atletico Madrid felt slack.

In the sixteenth round of the league, Real Madrid defeated Vallecano 10:2 at home, while Atletico Madrid capsized in the gutter unexpectedly.

They faced the sixteenth-ranked Malaga in an away game, and they lost the game with a score of 0:1!

Even if they lose this game, Atletico Madrid is still number one in the league.

But now they have played one more game than Barcelona, ​​but they are still only leading by seven points. At the same time, Real Madrid has also caught up, with 32 points, the same points as Barcelona, ​​but because of the relationship between victory and defeat, they continue to rank third .

Because Barcelona is going to participate in the Club World Cup, this round of the league has been postponed to February 17 next year.

Although they haven't played yet, everyone feels that Sporting Gijon shouldn't be able to stop Barcelona at home. These three points can be directly counted for Barcelona...

It's a bit contemptuous of Sporting Gijon to say so, but who told someone that their opponent is a super giant like Barcelona?

In short, Atletico Madrid's failure made them miss a good opportunity to continue to expand the point difference.

I don't know if today's defeat will make Atletico Madrid regret it at the end of the season?
