Seven Crowns

After finishing the 16th round of La Liga, on December 20, UEFA conducted the UEFA Champions League round of 16 knockout draw.

The top sixteen of this season's Champions League are Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, Porto, Arsenal, Schalke 04, AC Milan, Malaga, Juventus, Shakhtar Donetsk, Bayern Munich, Baron West Asia, Barcelona, ​​Celtic, Manchester United, Galatasaray.

Except for Ajax and Manchester City in the death group, which were unfortunately out of the group, it was a big surprise that only Chelsea's group was out of the other groups.

The other teams are basically teams with higher strength in the group stage, so it is not surprising to qualify.

In this season's Champions League group stage, there are not many upsets.

According to the draw principle that teams from the same group do not meet and teams from the same country do not meet in the group stage, Real Madrid's opponents in the 1/8 finals will be Porto, Arsenal, AC Milan, Shakhtar Donetsk, Celtic, Galata Sare was drawn from the 6 second-placed teams in the group.

In the end, it was Shakhtar Donetsk who was drawn by Real Madrid, which can be called the top lottery.

As for Barcelona, ​​who drew AC Milan, and Bayern Munich, who drew Arsenal, just ask for more blessings!

The UEFA Champions League 1/8 finals will not start until next year.

After the UEFA Champions League draw is over, La Liga has the last league game left this year.

On December 22, just three days after the last league game, Real Madrid ushered in the last game of 2012: the 17th round of La Liga away against Malaga.

This game has aroused great attention from the global football world. It was broadcast by TV stations in nearly a hundred countries, and other types of media in more countries made live reports.

Because this may be a game where Real Madrid makes history.

After the last league game, Real Madrid has tied AC Milan's longest unbeaten record of 58 games in the five major leagues.

As long as they are unbeaten in this game, Real Madrid will surpass AC Milan and create a new longest unbeaten record in the five major European leagues with 59 unbeaten games.

It's a new horror record, a new dynasty.

Therefore, although only three days have passed since the last game and the team's physical fitness has not been fundamentally improved, Mourinho still sent all the main players to play, striving to create a new record.

But Malaga is not fish belly.

They have Spain's sharpest right winger Joaquin, the domineering Marshal Demichelis in the defense, the European Golden Boy Award, the midfielder Isco, the talented Argentine striker and the South American footballer Rabbit Saviola .

If anyone thinks that Malaga is a fish belly and despises them, it is a big mistake.

This season, they rank fourth in the league, second only to Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid in the Western Super League, leaving Valencia, Sevilla, Athletic Bilbao and other strong teams behind. .

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, they even overwhelmed AC Milan and won the first place in Group D, which is 4 points more than AC Milan.

Therefore, Malaga this season does not seem to be well-known, but in fact it is in very good condition and is very difficult to deal with.

What's more, this is still the opponent's home court, and Real Madrid has experienced a continuous devil's schedule.

When Real Madrid wanted to complete the unbeaten record of 59 La Liga games in history, Malaga also hoped to defeat the mighty Galacticos in front of the global media and fans and become famous all over the world.

If Malaga can suspend Real Madrid's long unbeaten record in La Liga, it will also be famous.

Therefore, Malaga is not only strong, but also very motivated in this game.

Although Real Madrid's main force is at their best, they may not be able to beat them at home, and it is unknown whether they can remain unbeaten.

On this point, Mourinho has a clear understanding.

So, before playing, Mourinho delivered a motivational speech in the locker room:

"Consecutive double matches for one week, or even flying halfway across the world to Asia to play double matches for one week, I know everyone is very tired. But this is a rare opportunity. Countless players will find it difficult to achieve an unbeaten record in their entire lives. As long as we win today's game, we will surpass AC Milan and create the longest unbeaten record in the five major European leagues."

After a pause, Mourinho continued: "What's more, after today, there will be a winter break. I hope that all of you can concentrate on fighting and grabbing with all your strength, without saving your energy. All the rest of this year's physical energy was vented in today's game. Remember, we want to win, not a forced draw."

In the end, Mourinho raised his voice and said: "The last game in 2012 is a game that created a new unbeaten record in the five major leagues. I hope everyone will announce the birth of a new record with a victory and create a brilliant football dynasty. "

The players were all a little excited, and even Lu Wenbin was infected.

Although he doesn't love Real Madrid, he led the team to build this dynasty, so he will naturally feel emotional and proud.

After delivering his motivational speech, Mourinho stretched out his hand and asked all the players, coaches and staff to stand in a circle, put their hands together and shouted: "Go to Madrid!"

Afterwards, the coaching staff and the substitute players went out first and sat on the bench. The starting players entered the player channel, holding the hand of the little caddy and preparing to play.

Under the attention of the global media and fans, at 20 o'clock in the evening on December 20th, with the whistle of the referee, the 17th round of La Liga in the 2012/2013 season, Real Madrid's away game against Malaga was played at the home of Malaga Rose The court officially kicked off the battle.

Amidst the cheers from the home fans, Malaga played very aggressively, but paid close attention to where the foul was committed, and would not easily give Lu Wenbin the chance to perform free kicks.

In the 3rd minute, Lu Wenbin made a wonderful pass to Ronaldo. Ronaldo dribbled the ball to break through from the side, but was shoveled out of the sideline by defender Sanchez with a fierce sliding tackle.

But Sanchez only got a yellow card.

Although the free kick taken by Lu Wenbin went towards the dead corner of the goal in the end, because the distance was too far, the goalkeeper was given enough time to prepare, and in the end it was pushed out of the crossbar by goalkeeper Caballero.

In the subsequent corner kick, Lu Wenbin ran to take the penalty, preparing to perform a zero-degree shot, but Caballero held him directly in his arms.

Although Lu Wenbin's zero-degree shooting skills are at full value, the angle is too small. As long as the goalkeeper does not shoot and leave the goal line, it is really difficult to score.

In the last game, Lu Wenbin actually took two corner kicks, one went directly over the baseline, and the other was confiscated by the goalkeeper.

This is the case again now, it seems that the difficulty of getting started with a corner kick is much higher than that of a free kick!

The game continued. Although the Real Madrid stars wanted to score goals as soon as possible and finally beat Malaga, physical exhaustion was an unchangeable fact.

Except for Lu Wenbin, most of the starting players were unable to run, and were caught in entanglements with Malaga, unable to play fast offense or counterattack.
