Regarding Suarez announcing his pursuit of his own shooter in front of the whole team, the Barcelona players did not react very strongly. They fully understood Suarez's thoughts and they were willing to help Suarez. After all, if they can add obstacles to Gao Zheng and Atletico Madrid, they are willing to do anything.

After hearing what Suarez said, many people in the locker room breathed a sigh of relief, and then smiled: "We are still worried that you will promote your style and not be as knowledgeable as him..."

Suarez snorted: "How is it possible? How is it possible for him to get all the good things?"

Anyway, the league championship now seems very slim, so the league's top scorer must be in his own hands. He also didn't want to see Gao Zheng's smug look.

"Very good, we will work hard to get you this honor!" It was Messi who stood up and spoke this time.

Seeing that Messi said that, Suarez was also a little moved. He said to everyone: "This is not an honor for me alone, it is an honor for our whole team!"

※※※

After Gao Zheng issued the "I want it all" declaration, Chinese fans are looking forward to his competition with Suarez and Cristiano Ronaldo on the scorer list, but before that, Atletico Madrid still has the Champions League to play , The league is a weekend thing.

On Wednesday, Atletico Madrid welcomes arch-rivals Bayern Munich at home.

In the history of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid have played against Bayern Munich twice. These two results were one draw and one loss.

And it's all in the same season.

In the 1973-1974 season, Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League final for the first time in history. At that time, the event was not called the UEFA Champions League, but the European Champions Cup.

Atletico Madrid's opponent in the final at that time was Bayern Munich. That Bayern Munich team had superstars such as football emperor Beckenbauer and bomber Gerd Müller, and was powerful.

But Atlético Madrid is not bad, they have the legendary Aragones who later led the Spanish national team to the European Cup in 2008.

This Atlético Madrid team made it all the way to the final, where they met Bayern Munich.

The final between the two sides was held at the Heysel Stadium in Brussels, Belgium-yes, the Heysel Stadium where the stands collapsed in the final between Juventus and Liverpool-in the 90-minute regular game,

The two sides drew 0:0, and in the second half of overtime, Atletico Madrid relied on Aragones' free kick to take the lead.

Just when Atlético Madrid fans were about to celebrate their first-ever Champions League triumph, they forgot that they were up against a tenacious German.

Bayern Munich relied on defender Schwarzenbeck's long-range shot to equalize the score at the last moment.

According to UEFA's 1969 winning clause, if the game is still tied after 120 minutes of play, there will be no penalty shootout, but an optional day. Rematch.

Since this regulation was promulgated, it has never been used in the Champions League. This is the first time.

So that year, Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich met twice in the Champions League finals and played two Champions League finals.

The replay two days later was still held at Heysel Stadium, but the audience who came to watch the game was only about half of the first game.

Conceding a goal at the last moment in the previous final dealt a heavy blow to Atletico Madrid, and the impact was far-reaching, and it has not been eliminated until two days later. Atlético Madrid were low in stamina and morale, while Bayern Munich's players were elated because they had won back the chance to redefine their fate.

In the 28th minute of the opening, Uli Hoeness helped Bayern Munich score the first goal. In the second half, Gerd Müller scored two goals in a row. Hoeness also scored twice in the 83rd minute. In the end, Bayern Munich defeated Atletico Madrid 4-0 in the replay and won the Champions League trophy.

This is also the only final in the history of the Champions League that has been played twice, and the only champion to be determined through a replay.

Atletico Madrid lost the chance to make history. Since then, they did not return to the Champions League final until the 2013-2014 season, a lapse of forty years.

As a result, the trip to the final was also quite bitter. Atletico Madrid also lost the ball at the last moment after taking the lead, and was equalized by Real Madrid. In the end, the game was dragged into overtime, and then collapsed in overtime, and finally lost 1: 4.

Atlético Madrid's trip to the Champions League final is so hard, it really makes people feel sympathetic.

The match against Bayern Munich this time is the first confrontation after the 1973-1974 UEFA Champions League final.

Forty-two years have passed, and neither team has changed. Uli Hoeness, who scored two dollars in the final that year, became the general manager of Bayern Munich. In 2014, he was imprisoned for tax evasion and is still squatting in prison.

Aragones, who scored the final goal for Atletico Madrid and led the Spanish capital to the international championship in 2008, died of illness in 2014.

The two teams today have nothing to do with forty years ago, and some players didn't even come to this world when the final was played.

Therefore, it is meaningless to hype the grievances of the year.

The media doesn't mention it, and many people don't even know that these two teams have met in the Champions League final.

Everyone is more concerned about the current situation.

Before the game, the media paid attention to the problems Bayern Munich is facing now. Before this game, they had no way to win seven consecutive Champions League knockout games. The results were four draws and three losses.

Under the guidance of Simeone, Atletico Madrid conceded seven goals in 16 home games in the Champions League. Three of these seven conceded goals were scored by Gao Zheng when he was playing for Sampdoria... The record is 12 wins and 3 draws One negative. However, Atletico Madrid has won one of the last six Champions League knockout matches, and the remaining five games have three draws and two losses. The only victory is a 4-0 home defeat against Barcelona.

The trouble for Atletico Madrid in this game is that their main central defender Godin was absent due to injury, and was replaced by Savage, who formed the starting central defender combination with Jimenez.

The striker is naturally composed of Gao Zheng and Griezmann, who has returned from the ban.

The game even attracted the attention of King Felipe VI of Spain, who came to the scene to cheer for Atletico Madrid himself.

The former Spanish King Juan Carlos is a die-hard fan of Real Madrid, and he can often be seen in the stands of Real Madrid's home games.

The current Spanish King Felipe VI is an Atletico Madrid fan, so he naturally wants to come to support the Atletico Madrid game.

CCTV also broadcast the game live.

Countless Chinese fans waited in front of the TV.

This is the first time in Gao Zheng's career to participate in the semi-finals of the Champions League. His previous best result was reaching the quarter-finals and reaching the quarter-finals.

But every year he can go further than the previous year. The first year is the top sixteen, the second year is the top eight, and this year it has become the top four. I wonder if he will be able to enter the finals next year?

Many people think so.

But some people think so-wonder if they can reach the finals in one go this year?
