Chapter 221 The favorite to win the championship?

Chapter 67 favorite?

Li Qingshan, who won the best player, scored a high score of 9.5 points in the post-match score. In fact, the score of the Atletico Madrid team is basically around 9 points, which fully demonstrates Atletico Madrid's dedication to this game. .

The score of the players on Barcelona's side is much lower, but the person with the lowest score surprised many "wake up party" who have not watched the game-the player with the lowest score in this game actually It's Messi!

From Messi's running in this game, it can be seen why Messi is the one with the lowest score.Messi, who played for 90 minutes, only walked 6853 meters on the field, while Barcelona goalkeeper Pinto even had a running distance of 5359 meters.Fabregas, who played only 45 minutes, ran 6988 meters.Even the 34-year-old Harvey has a running distance of 11820 meters.Messi, who is walking on the field, basically does not bring any pressure to Atletico Madrid's defense, and his negative mental state will also bring negative psychological hints to his teammates to some extent.

This is almost the worst game Messi has played since he became famous.

After the game, even Barcelona's most loyal throat "Mundo Deportivo" wrote an article madly criticizing Messi's performance.

"This shouldn't be Messi's game performance. This game is really bad. Maybe the referee Webber ran longer than him in this game. Maybe he is thinking about the World Cup now. He got all the honors at Barcelona, ​​is he going to stay for the World Cup now?"

Regardless of why Messi performed so poorly in this game, Barcelona's exit from the Champions League is a foregone conclusion.

After this round of the Champions League, the top four teams were born respectively.

Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid respectively eliminated their opponents and advanced to the semi-finals. The two teams from La Liga occupied two of the semi-finals.The other two teams are the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich who eliminated Manchester United with a total score of 807-[-] and advanced to the semi-finals.In another duel, Chelsea relied on Demba Ba's lore in the No.[-] minute to win [-]-[-] at home and advance to the semi-finals with a total score of [-]-[-] and more away goals.

In this way, the four teams that have advanced to the Champions League semi-finals are Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Bayern Munich.Judging from these four teams, the smallest among them is Atletico Madrid.But not many people would think that Atletico Madrid is the soft persimmon in the semi-finals. At this stage of the Champions League, there is no team that is the soft persimmon.

There are even many media who list Atletico Madrid as the favorite to win the championship. Of course, this is not because Atletico Madrid is stronger than the other three teams, but because of a somewhat superstitious law-since 07/ Since the 08 season, the champion of the Champions League every season is either Barcelona or the team that eliminated Barcelona.

The Champions League champion in the 07/08 season was Manchester United, and the Red Devils' road to winning the championship included eliminating Barcelona.When Manchester United and Barcelona met in the semi-finals of the season, the two teams drew 0-0 at Camp Nou in the first round. In the second round, Manchester United relied on Scholes' world wave lore to beat Barcelona 1-0 and enter the final.On a rainy night in Moscow in the Champions League final, Manchester United beat Chelsea in a thrilling penalty shootout to win the Champions League.

The 09/10 UEFA Champions League champion was Inter Milan. In the first round of the semi-finals, Inter Milan reversed Barcelona 3-1 at home. Sneijder, Maicon and Diego Milito each scored a goal.In the second round at Camp Nou, Barcelona won 1-0, but Inter Milan advanced to the final with a total score of 3-2. In the final, the Nerazzurri defeated Bayern 2-0 and once again applied for the "Barcelona touchstone".

The UEFA Champions League champion in the 11/12 season is Chelsea, which is also a semi-final.Chelsea won the first leg 1-0 at home. In the second leg they drew 2-2 with Barcelona at Camp Nou and advanced 3-2 on aggregate. Messi missed a penalty and Terry got a red card.Chelsea beat Bayern on penalties in the final. In the semi-finals of the 12/13 season, Bayern met Barcelona. The Bundesliga team dominated the red and blue teams 7-0 in two rounds, creating the record for the worst score in Barcelona's European knockout rounds. In the final, Bayern defeated Dortmund.In these two seasons, the "Barcelona Law" has also come true.

In the 08/09 and 10/11 seasons, no team eliminated Barcelona. Barcelona coached by Guardiola went all the way to the final and won the championship

Atletico Madrid performed extremely well this season. They overwhelmed Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga, leading the La Liga standings.Including the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga and the Champions League, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona played five games, with one win and four draws.In the UEFA Champions League, they first eliminated Atletico Madrid strongly, and then defeated Barcelona with a score of [-] to [-] at their home court.

Even without the so-called "Barcelona Law", Atletico Madrid will become the most anticipated team among the semi-finals of this Champions League.After all, among the semi-finals of the Champions League, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea all have the record of winning the Champions League.And if Atletico Madrid finally wins the championship, it also means that a new member will be added to the European Champions Cup club.

The UEFA Champions League semi-final draw will take place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on April [-].There will be no avoidance rules for this round of draws.

When the lucky draw guest Figo drew Real Madrid and Bayern Munich back and forth, the semi-final matchup will come out, Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid vs. Chelsea!

For Atletico Madrid, the three opponents are actually similar, and they are all super strong teams.Needless to say, Real Madrid, the lineup of the Galacticos will always be the top in the world.As the defending champions of the Champions League, Bayern Munich's dominance in the Champions League is obvious to all.And Chelsea was the champion of the previous year, and their meritorious coach Mourinho officially returned to Chelsea this season. How strong is Mourinho's team?Just look at the teams that have fallen at their feet.

Drawing Chelsea is not too bad for Atletico Madrid.They met in the past 3 times, they got 1 wins, 1 draws and 1 losses, being the lower hand.For this Champions League, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea have different mentalities.Atletico Madrid is now in full swing in the league, leading its competitors by six points and aiming for the La Liga championship.The pressure on Atletico Madrid is not great.

After Chelsea lost to Sunderland, the situation of winning the Premier League is already in jeopardy.In this case, Mourinho will definitely invest heavily in the Champions League and gamble heavily on the Champions League.In this way, the pressure on Chelsea players can be imagined.

Before this game, Atletico Madrid will play two league games.A six-point lead is not enough to guarantee Atletico Madrid can win the La Liga championship, so Simeone dare not neglect in the league.

On April [-]th, Atletico Madrid ushered in a derby in the Madrid region, and they were going to challenge Getafe away.The day before this game, Barcelona lost [-]-[-] away to Granada, which almost put Atletico Madrid only half a step away from the La Liga championship!Atletico Madrid's continuous two-line battle made the players a little tired, and Diego Costa and Turan were injured one after another.But Getafe in the relegation zone did not pose much threat to Atletico Madrid. With the goals of Godin and Li Qingshan, Atletico Madrid beat their opponents [-]-[-] away.

A week later, Atletico Madrid easily defeated the underdog Elche [-]-[-] at home and continued to maintain their lead in the standings.And Real Madrid also lost points in this round. They drew [-]-[-] with Valladolid in the away game.

In this way, Atletico Madrid's points came to 82 points, nine points ahead of Barcelona and seven points ahead of Real Madrid!

There are still four rounds left in the league. As long as Atletico Madrid scores six points in the four rounds, they will definitely win the La Liga championship!

With six points in four rounds, for Atletico Madrid, which has been in a state of flux recently, it can almost be said that the La Liga champion will not be able to escape!
