"For Guardiola, the head coach from Spain, the La Liga team is like his nemesis. I don't know if it is because he was too familiar with them when he was coaching in Spain, which led him to face such an opponent. Always lacking energy. In the 2013-2014 season, his team was eliminated by Real Madrid in the semi-finals. Last season, he was also eliminated by his old club Barcelona in the semi-finals... This time, he was very unfortunate. I met the La Liga team, Atletico Madrid, and lost 0:1 in the first leg. Is this score familiar? Bayern Munich was beaten by another Madrid team two years ago, and what happened next We all know the story... We hope that Bayern Munich can break through the 'La Liga curse' this time..."

Before the start of the game, hosts and commentators in the rear studio of German TV were commenting and looking forward to the upcoming game.

"In fact, Bayern Munich still has a great advantage at home..." said the commentator, who was responsible for reassuring Bayern Munich fans. "They have won 11 consecutive home games in the Champions League, scored 41 goals and conceded only six goals. This performance is amazing. The last time they lost at home was against Real Madrid. Once, but after that, Bayern Munich's home court has become an impenetrable castle... In addition to the Champions League, in all competitions, Guardiola's team has also won 23 of the last 24 home games, of which There are 16 clean sheets. If they can continue this performance this time and keep Atletico Madrid clean, then the hope of qualifying for the final will be great."

"And in terms of Champions League experience, Bayern Munich players are also richer than Atletico Madrid players. Atletico Madrid's starting lineup has only 277 Champions League experience, far less than our 697 games..."

German TV is desperately milking Bayern Munich, and Spain is milking Atletico Madrid.

"Centre-back Godin is back from injury. This is the best news. Atletico Madrid. He and Jimenez have only conceded two goals in seven Champions League games. Their iron gate can effectively help the team. "Jose Maria introduced. "In addition, according to statistics, 20 of the previous 29 teams that won 1-0 at home in the first round of the UEFA Champions League knockout round have all advanced, with a probability as high as 69%. Atletico Madrid has entered 20 UEFA Champions League games Only five goals conceded, four clean sheets in the last five Champions League knockout games - apart from the away loss to Barcelona..."

Since everyone believes that numbers are not deceiving, they all list various numbers to enhance their confidence and persuasiveness.

But football is not a simple numbers game. It cannot be assumed that Atletico Madrid will advance to the final just because the probability of the team advancing 1:0 in the first round is nearly 70%.

Nor can it be assumed that Bayern Munich will win their twelfth home game just because they have won all of their last eleven home games in the Champions League. Besides, even if they win this game, they may not be able to advance...

For example, Bayern Munich defeated Atletico Madrid 3:2,

With a total score of 3:3, Atletico Madrid can still advance because of the advantage of away goals.

And football is so fascinating precisely because there are so many things that cannot be controlled by data, and it is full of various uncertainties.

※※※

After the start of the game, it was almost exactly the same as the first round of the two sides. Atletico Madrid played very proactively. They were the first to threaten the opponent's goal.

Gabi's two consecutive long-range shots hit the goal frame, forcing Neuer to make a save.

However, Atletico Madrid's onslaught after the opening did not disrupt the rhythm of Bayern Munich.

Then they quickly launched a counterattack. Douglas Costa passed the ball in an inverted triangle on the right, and Vidal shot a strong shot in front of the goal. The quality of the play was very high.

However, Oblak performed well, and directly gave Wenwen the shot with both hands, without giving the Bayern Munich player any chance to make up the shot.

And the first and most threatening offense of the game was created by Bayern Munich.

In the 20th minute, central defender Jerome Boateng stepped up to the midfield and picked a pass behind Atletico Madrid's defense. Thomas Muller succeeded in turning offside, but he did not shoot directly, but knocked the football across to Lewandov. Ski!

"Opportunity!!!" German commentator Marcel Leif, "Lewandowski——!!!"

The Allianz Arena roared with cheers.

Amid the cheers, Lewandowski strode to catch up to the football, and Oblak also quickly moved closer to block his shot angle.

Lewandowski finally catches up to the football, but the angle is already tight.

He didn't have time to adjust, and he didn't adjust, just kicked and shot!

The football was rubbed against the foot of goalkeeper Oblak, deviated from the track, bounced to the outside of the penalty area, and then was kicked out by Gabi's big foot on the line of the penalty area!

"Ahhhhh! What a pity!!" Marcel Leif put his head in his hands. "Lewandowski missed the chance to equalize the total score! But the angle of his shot was too small... In fact, Muller could shoot by himself just now, there is no need to pass it to Lewandowski... "

Although Lewandowski missed the goal, it ignited the atmosphere of the scene. The Bayern Munich fans in the stands of the Allianz Arena kept singing and jumping, like huge red waves repeatedly hitting the seawall, as if at any time It might burst the dikes and flood in, drowning and destroying everything.

The performance of the Bayern Munich fans also encouraged the fighting spirit of the Bayern Munich players.

Four minutes later, Ribery volleyed from 28 meters from the goal!

He drew a deciduous ball, which caused Oblak to make a misjudgment and failed to hug the football. The ball fell out of his hand after his injury!

Lewandowski, who was ambushing in the penalty area, broke out in time and rushed to the football.

Fortunately, Oblak's second reaction was quick enough, and he immediately got down to block it.

Under his interference, Lewandowski kicked the football flying and fell to the ground.

His fall affected the nerves of the Bayern Munich players and fans. Several arms were raised at the same time on the field, and there were many such arms in the stands, densely packed like a forest!

They were all complaining to the referee Güneit Cakir from Turkey-Oblak must have tripped Lewandowski, or the Polish center would have fallen to the ground? !

However, the slow motion showed that Oblak did not touch Lewandowski, nor did he even touch the football, which means that it is not only a penalty kick, but Bayern Munich has no chance to take a corner kick.

Lewandowski lost his balance and fell to the ground because he was in a hurry to shoot.

Although the goal was not scored, Bayern Munich has continuously threatened Atletico Madrid's goal in a short period of time, which has actually sounded the alarm for Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid fans are very worried. If this continues, Atletico Madrid's lead may soon disappear!
