Chapter 562: The 6th Spanish National Derby

The genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Although Real Madrid scored twice from Lu Wenbin's free kick to bring back a 2-0 victory from the away game, they advanced to the second leg The odds of the final are greatly increased.

However, Chelsea's muscular jungle defense still made Real Madrid suffer.

Ramos picked up another yellow card for the game and will be suspended for the second leg, while both Xabi Alonso and Benzema were injured in the battle with their opponents.

Although they were not found during the game, post-match inspections revealed that both of them were slightly injured. They would have to rest for at least two games and would not be able to participate in the second round of the Champions League semi-final.

As a result, Mourinho's formation seems a bit stretched.

On April 21, a league match between the two UEFA Champions League semi-finals, in the 35th round of La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Barcelona away. The sixth Spanish national derby this season is a severe test for Real Madrid.

League points certainly don't matter because Real Madrid are too far ahead of Barcelona.

In the remaining few league games, Real Madrid only needs to win one game to win the championship in advance. It is impossible for Barcelona to pose a threat to Real Madrid's league title this season.

The point is that this is El Clasico, a game that cannot be given up.

Even if the opponent lags behind too much, one's own side will step on the opponent's body again.

And if Real Madrid wins this game, they will win the league championship three rounds ahead of schedule. Of course, if there is a tie, Real Madrid is enough to win the championship early.

But in the face of a deadly enemy, those who can win will naturally not draw, and those who can win a big victory will naturally not win small.

It is undoubtedly a great happiness to be able to defeat the deadly enemy at home and win the championship in advance.

Finally, there is another reason. In the first five Spanish derbies this season, Real Madrid won all of them.

If the sixth national derby continues to win, Real Madrid will form a Super Cup, Copa del Rey, and league six kills against Barcelona within one season, not just a double kill.

It is definitely the dream of every Real Madrid person to leave such a shameful record of six kills to Barcelona.

Even the chairman, Florentino, approached Mourinho before the game, demanding that Mourinho must win the game, complete the unprecedented record of six kills against Barcelona in a single season, and win the league ahead of schedule in the opponent's stadium champion.

This puts Mourinho under a lot of pressure.

In the case that the next game is the second round of the Champions League semi-finals, Mourinho is somewhat difficult to choose.

Fortunately, Barcelona also played in the Champions League semi-finals, and lost 1-2 away to Bayern Munich, which is more severe than Real Madrid's situation.

Mourinho believes that when there is no hope of winning the league title, Guardiola should not slam against Real Madrid at the Nou Camp, but hopes to comeback in the second round of the Champions League semi-finals and finally win the championship.

If there is any championship that Barcelona can compete for this season, it is only the Champions League.

Therefore, Mourinho bet that Guardiola would give up the league and focus on the Champions League.

Therefore, in the 35th round of La Liga away game against Barcelona on April 21, Mourinho sent a half-main and half-substitute lineup.

Except for Lu Wenbin, Ronaldo, Khedira, Iker Casillas and Ramos starting, everyone else has been rotated out.

However, Mourinho gambled wrong.

Guardiola is a player from Barcelona, ​​not a halfway coach. His feelings for Barcelona are different from Mourinho's rationality.

Although he knows that it is unwise to fight against Real Madrid in the league, Guardiola will not allow his team to be humiliated by Real Madrid's six kills in a single season.

With such a record, even if he wins the Champions League, I am afraid he will be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Therefore, in this game, Barcelona's main force was exhausted, and they fought desperately with Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's defense, which has rotated most of the teams, lacks tacit understanding.

In the 5th minute, Messi volleyed three consecutive shots from a small angle in the penalty area amidst the cheers of the Barcelona fans. Barcelona took a 1-0 lead at home.

Fortunately, in the 17th minute, Lu Wenbin also assisted Higuain with a wonderful pass in a counterattack to score the equalizer.

But today the Barcelona team really played well. Of course, there are also reasons why Real Madrid did not have the main force.

In the 33rd minute, Barcelona scored again.

Messi broke through Diarra's defense from outside the penalty area and then faced Ramos with a fake move to shake the angle, and then assisted the ribs in the penalty area. Villa inserted a non-stop ball in the back row and scored directly. .

Barcelona took the lead again.

After that, neither side scored any more goals in the rest of the first half. The two sides entered the intermission with a score of 2-1, and Barcelona temporarily led by one goal.

Being behind at halftime is a rare experience for Real Madrid this season.

But Mourinho absolutely does not want to lose.

Even if you don't talk about the historical grievances between the two teams and the pressure from Florentino, fans, and the media, just his own hatred of Barcelona will not allow him to lose to Barcelona.

Even if losing this game doesn't affect his winning the league championship, he doesn't want to lose, he wants to win even more.

Therefore, during the intermission, Mourinho also put all his eggs in one basket and changed three people in a row, replacing Pepe, Khedira, and Ozil who were originally going to the second round of the Champions League semi-finals.

Real Madrid can also be said to have done their best.

After Pepe, Khedira, and Ozil played, Real Madrid's defense and offense have improved a lot.

On the one hand, it is the improvement of personal strength, and on the other hand, it is the tacit improvement of the main lineup.

In the 53rd minute, Özil, who just came on, made a cross from the wing. Lu Wenbin jumped high in the penalty area, overwhelmed Puyol and Pique to grab the first point, and shook his head to attack the goal.

The ball flew past Valdez's fingertips and into the goal.

Lu Wenbin finally scored and equalized for Real Madrid.

Next, Barcelona continued to attack and Real Madrid continued to defend and counterattack. Neither side scored again until the end of the game.

Even if the game ends in a draw, Real Madrid will win the championship three rounds ahead of schedule at home to Barcelona.

The Spanish Football Federation has brought the championship trophy to the Nou Camp Stadium, and Barcelona players and fans definitely don't want to see Real Madrid celebrate with the trophy in their stadium.

Therefore, even though the game was coming to an end, Barcelona did not give up and continued to attack, hoping to beat Real Madrid.

But sometimes things backfire. When you want to kill your opponent, the opponent may also be waiting to kill you.

In the 91st minute, the time has entered stoppage time, Barcelona made a comeback, and Messi dribbled the ball towards the Real Madrid penalty area.

In front of him are the two midfielders Khedira and Diarra of Real Madrid.

Near the end of the game, Messi also had a burst of mentality.

Faced with the interception of Real Madrid's two defensive midfielders, Messi wanted to break through.

As a result, Khedira, who came on in the second half, made a precise and decisive tackle and shoveled the ball from Messi's feet.
