Although Feng Shiyao said that the draw for the top 12 teams is only a few days away, but in fact there is still almost half a month left, and in this half month, Atletico Madrid will still play two league games and two Champions League games.

This is very likely to be the half month that will determine the final harvest of Atletico Madrid this season.

After the match against Qatar, Gao Zheng rushed back to Madrid, Spain without stopping.

He was greeted with a league game against Real Betis and a Champions League game against Barcelona.

On March 29th, he was still playing the World Cup qualifiers in China. Three days later, on April 2nd, he appeared on the stadium where Atletico Madrid played against Real Betis at home.

Considering that the players have just finished participating in their respective national team games, and there will be a Champions League match with Barcelona next, Simeone did not play the main role in this game, but Gao Zheng still started the game anyway.

Simeone doesn't want to repeat the mistake of playing Sporting Gijon in the last round-if it weren't for Gao Zheng's lore at the last moment, Atletico Madrid might have bid farewell to the league championship in advance.

If you still put him on the bench this time, and wait for the second half to see if the situation is wrong before replacing him, then what if Gao Zheng didn't score at the last moment this time? You can't always pin your hopes on Gao Zheng's outstanding performance after coming off the bench.

It is better to let Gao Zheng start the game and help the team seal the victory early.

Although Simeone had this in mind, when the game started, everyone could still see that Gao Zheng was a little tired.

He was not active in the first game, and he also made some mistakes in taking the ball.

Such a situation rarely happened to Gao Zheng.

It was not until the 37th minute that Atletico Madrid broke the deadlock and Gao Zheng finally scored.

Despite his physical exhaustion, as long as he was given a chance, he blasted away Real Betis's goal in 37 minutes.

Then in the 42nd minute, Gao Zheng scored twice, extending the lead to two goals.

Then the two sides entered the intermission.

With two goals in hand, Simeone is at ease.

Soon after the start of the second half, he replaced Gao Zheng with Fernando Torres to rest him.

And Atletico Madrid, leading by two goals, has entered the high-speed track,

Even without Gao Zheng at this time, they could still tear apart the opponents standing in front of them by relying on inertia.

The most difficult thing is the stage from the start to the acceleration, and Gao Zheng helped them complete this stage.

In the 65th minute, Juanfran scored and rewritten the score to 3:0.

Real Betis pulled one back in the 79th minute, but trailing by two goals with ten minutes remaining in the game basically meant that it was difficult for them to equalize again.

Not to mention that Atletico Madrid may continue to score goals.

Sure enough, in the 81st minute, Griezmann scored and Atletico Madrid led 4:1.

In the 90th minute, Thomas, who came off the bench as a midfielder, added the icing on the cake and fixed the score at 5:1.

Of course, the most eye-catching game in this round of the league is definitely not the game between Atletico Madrid and Real Betis.

Instead, the national derby will be held later, Barcelona will face Real Madrid at home.

It can be said that this is the last stumbling block on the road to Barcelona's championship.

If Barcelona can pass, there will be a flat highway behind them, and they can directly step on the accelerator and start the sprint to win the championship.

Before the game, whether it was the odds of the bookmaker or the media public opinion, everyone was more optimistic about Barcelona's victory.

There is no need to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of each position of the two sides, just mention one point-this is Barcelona's home court.

This is Camp Nou.

In the league, Barcelona has maintained an unbeaten run against Real Madrid for three consecutive seasons at this stadium, with a record of two wins and one draw.

The last time they lost to Real Madrid at home in the league was in the 2011-2012 season, when they lost 1:2.

In the 2010-2011 season, Real Madrid even lost 0:5 to Barcelona in this stadium. At that time, after the game, Pique opened his five fingers and slapped his hand in celebration, as if it was a slap in the face of all Real Madrid. Like a slap in the face.

In the national derby at the Nou Camp, Barcelona has an absolute advantage of 43 wins, 18 draws and 18 losses. Real Madrid wants to conquer the Nou Camp... It cannot be said that it is completely impossible, but it is very, very difficult.

Another thing worth mentioning is that since Barcelona lost 1:2 away to Sevilla in the seventh round of this season, they have never lost again. After being tied 0:0 by the Spaniards in the New Year, they simply lost all draws and have maintained a complete victory. Up to now, they have won 12 consecutive victories.

The longest winning streak in the history of La Liga was also created by Barcelona. They created an astonishing sixteen consecutive victories in the 2010-2011 season, breaking the record of fifteen consecutive victories created by Real Madrid fifty years ago.

If Barcelona can beat Real Madrid at home, it will not only increase the winning streak to thirteen games, but also hope to surpass their own record-as long as they can persist until they play Deportivo, they can tie the record, Another win against Sporting Gijon would set a new record.

On this road, except for Real Madrid, other teams are not afraid, and it is difficult to pose any threat to Barcelona.

Today's Real Madrid has run into Barcelona, ​​whose morale is like a rainbow and the state is booming. How can it be possible to retreat in the away game?

In this game, both teams used the strongest lineups. Barcelona's MSN team started, and Real Madrid's BBC team.

Before the game, the two sides paid a moment of silence to Cruyff who had just passed away. It can be said that Barcelona's existence today is inseparable from the "flying Dutchman". It was Cruyff who brought the Dutch football of total defense to Barcelona and brought new life to this old giant. Since then, Barcelona has become a powerful force in European football from a domestic powerhouse in Spain.

If there is no Cruyff, there will be no La Masia youth academy, and there will be no Xavi, Iniesta, Puyol, Messi, Pique, Busquets, these Barcelona Dream Team II and Dream III The backbone of the team.

Cruyff left a very great legacy to Barcelona, ​​Fuze posterity.

And such a great figure, leaving the world, is before a game like the National Derby, which also makes this game full of highlights.

Before the game, Barcelona fans displayed a huge jigsaw puzzle of "Thank you John" in the stands of Camp Nou. Naturally, Barcelona fans also hope that the players can use a victory to comfort Cruyff's spirit in heaven.

After all, Atletico Madrid beat Real Betis 5:1 in the game that ended earlier, kicking the pressure ball to Barcelona.
