The day has finally come.
On April 13, 2016, the second round of the Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid's home game against Barcelona is about to start.
The day before that, two other quarter-finals had already been played, with Real Madrid returning home from a 0-2 first-leg loss to Wolfsburg and beating their opponents 3-0 to win 3-0. The total score of 2 advanced to the semi-finals, and Cristiano Ronaldo completed a hat-trick in this game. This brings him to sixteen goals in the Champions League this season.
In another game, Manchester City defeated Paris Saint-Germain 1-0 at home and advanced to the semi-finals with a total score of 3:2.
What will be played today is the remaining two games, one is Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona, and the other is Benfica vs. Bayern Munich at home.
In the first round, Benfica only lost 0:1 to Bayern Munich in the away game, so there is still suspense in this game.
As for the match between Atlético de Madrid and Barcelona, except for Atletico de Madrid fans, everyone feels that there is no suspense.
After all, Atletico Madrid lost three goals in the first round...
In the history of the Champions League, only Barcelona has done it once, but that was before the restructuring.
After the UEFA Champions League was restructured in 1992, many of the original rules no longer apply. For example, before the restructuring, there were still teams that could defend the Champions League, and there were not many. Even a little-known team like Nottingham Forest can do it.
But after the restructuring of the Champions League, giants like Real Madrid and AC Milan cannot do it. The best result is just two championships in three years, and there is no championship for a year in between.
After the restructuring, naturally no team can reverse the promotion with 0:3 in the first round.
Although the media supporting Atletico Madrid kept shouting to the fans before the game, let them keep hope, go to the stadium to support the team, and create miracles.
But that doesn't change anything.
This is just a normal way to boost morale. After all, compared with being eliminated, it is more embarrassing to admit defeat in advance, and no one can do it.
Didn't Simeone say it when he was interviewed before the game?
His team will fight till the end.
Listen, listen, "Fight to the Last." Why not call it a miracle?
Because deep down in the head coach's heart, he doesn't believe that the team can advance. He just asks everyone to fight to the end, so that when the time comes, he can die with more dignity.
Isn't there a joke that says so?
What to do if you meet a bear in the forest?
Instead of falling to the ground and pretending to be dead, and don’t run away screaming in panic, you should face the bear with rounded eyes, growl at it, and raise your fists to fight head-on, so that you can die with more dignity.
Now Atlético Madrid are the ones who meet the bear in the forest, and Barcelona are that giant bear.

"The odds don't favor Atletico Madrid at all..." Xiao Yingying, who was holding a mobile phone, sighed.
"Isn't this normal?" Feng Shiyao shrugged, "If the odds are favorable to Atletico Madrid, then you have to worry about whether there will be any problems."
Although there was still half an hour before the start of the game, the two of them were already watching in front of the TV.
During the waiting period, the two of them swiped Weibo with their mobile phones, paying attention to various news on the Internet.
"But I still bought ten notes to support the handsome guy!" Xiao Yingying proudly showed her phone to Feng Shiyao.
She bought ten bets on Atletico Madrid's 4-0 win for twenty yuan.
According to the current odds, Atletico Madrid's odds of advancing to the semi-finals are 19 to 19, while the odds of Atletico Madrid's 4:0 victory over Barcelona are even more exaggerated, at 1 to 91.
This odds meant that Xiao Yingying would earn a net profit of 1800 yuan if the result of the match was true, regardless of the 20 yuan cost Xiao Yingying had spent.
Feng Shiyao said: "I only bought ten bets, so I still have no confidence in Atletico Madrid."
After speaking, she handed her mobile phone to Xiao Yingying.
Xiao Yingying saw that Sister Feng bought a hundred times the result of 4:0!
A total of two hundred yuan. According to the odds, if you win, you will make a net profit of eighteen thousand!
Xiao Yingying looked at the phone and muttered, "That's different, there's inside information..."
Feng Shiyao laughed: "This is not buying stocks. What's the use of having inside information?"
Then she said seriously: "Besides, I haven't looked for him these days."
"why?"
"I don't want to affect him. Don't look at him talking and laughing in front of reporters, but the pressure is actually very high."
Xiao Yingying nodded and said, "That's true. After all, I'm behind by three goals... Even I, who was watching the game, couldn't be more nervous." She showed Feng Shiyao her legs, trembling slightly. "I'm nervous when I think the game is about to start. Not to mention the players who have to play. Professional players are amazing... If it were me, my legs would be so weak that I couldn't even walk... "

Atletico Madrid's players have finished their pre-match warm-up and returned to the locker room.
Now there are only twenty minutes left before the start of the game.
They are hurrying to take off their warm-up clothes and put on official competition clothes.
After doing all this quickly, they all looked up at Simeone, their boss.
"The situation is very difficult, very difficult. It exists objectively and does not depend on our thoughts. But it is also because of this that I am shaking with excitement. Because I think that so many people are not optimistic about us, and we will be in a moment Going to slap them, I'm happy! I can't wait for the game to start!" Simeone's infectious speech began again.
"As Gao said, we beat them 4-0 here once and we were able to do it, so I believe we can do it again! Let those enemies tremble before us! Let them say We can't do this or that! We will win and advance to the semi-finals!"
"After these days of training, I believe we must all have such beliefs. That's great. We have to devote 120% of our energy from the first second of this game. We must... …It’s not about ‘fighting’, it’s about scoring a goal in the first ten minutes, catching them off guard, scaring their shit out of them! And then destroying them with a devastating attack!”

The commentator He Ping and his commentator partner Xu Yang appeared on the TV, and the two were looking forward to the game.
Xu Yang said: "Actually, in the last round of the game, Atletico Madrid's tactics were fine. They had an advantage in the game and were almost about to score a goal. But I didn't expect Messi to explode at this time..."
He Ping sighed: "Yeah, this is the energy of a superstar. Sometimes, if a superstar explodes, he can smooth out the tactical disadvantage. Why is it that Messi is the number one player in football today? The big reason is this...he is a person who can control the situation on his own. Simeone's luck in the last game was that Sis was too bad, and he ran into Messi who was in full form..."
"Gao Zheng said before the game that they could reproduce the miracle of beating Barcelona 4-0 in the Spanish Super Cup. Barcelona also responded before the game. Messi said that they have not forgotten that game. Barcelona will not be stoned by the same stone. Stumbled twice. I believe what he said is true, so this game may be more difficult to play. The result of the first leg is particularly regrettable now..."
Xu Yang's statement made many people nod secretly.
Indeed, Atletico Madrid's only chance is to hope that after Barcelona won the first round with three goals, they will feel proud and underestimate the enemy.
But Gao Zheng's words reminded Barcelona in turn.
Although everyone knew that Gao Zheng had good intentions and wanted to boost the morale of his teammates. But objectively, it did make the opponent more vigilant, making this game more difficult to play.
Everyone believes that as long as Barcelona does not underestimate the enemy and takes it seriously, this game is actually evenly matched. Even if Atletico Madrid can win, it is only one goal or two goals, which is not enough for them to advance. Not to mention that Barcelona may still score away goals, the situation will be even worse.
Similar analyzes and discussions are also going on in other TV stations.
This game is the focus of the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. The strong dialogue has attracted TV stations in many countries around the world.
Basically no one is optimistic that Atletico Madrid can reverse the comeback.
Although they were in the quarter-finals of the Champions League two seasons ago, they beat Barcelona at home. But the specific situation is completely different from now.
At that time, Atletico Madrid played Barcelona away in the first round, and it was a 1:1 tie. Not only did they not lose, but they also scored an away goal. Public opinion was more optimistic about Atletico Madrid. After returning to the home court, Atletico Madrid beat Barcelona 1:0, eliminated their opponents with a total score of 2:1, and advanced to the semi-finals. And finally reached the final in one breath.
What Atletico Madrid is facing this time is basically "mission impossible".
