After Atletico Madrid's 5-0 bloodbath against Zenit St. Petersburg, the result of another game in the same group also came out. AC Milan was tied 0-0 by Anderlecht at home, which caused a big upset.
Unpopular.
You know, this was Milan's home court, and they failed to score a goal and were tied by their opponents. It seems that AC Milan's offensive power in the Champions League this season is worrying.
In this way, Atletico Madrid naturally occupies the first place in Group C with a huge advantage of 3 points and 5 goal differences.
In addition, the results of the two Group D games that started at the same time also came out. Real Madrid played at home and beat Manchester City 3-2, also getting a good start in the Champions League group stage.
But unlike Atletico Madrid's easy 5-0 victory over Zenit, Real Madrid's game against Manchester City was quite difficult. Manchester City scored first, then Real Madrid equalized, Manchester City scored again to regain the lead, Real Madrid equalized again, and then until
In injury time, Cristiano Ronaldo scored the winning goal, beating Manchester City and winning with difficulty.
Although a comeback victory is exciting for the fans, for Real Madrid's players and coaches, it is definitely not exciting, but thrilling and physically and mentally exhausting.
Similarly, in another group match in Group D, Dortmund faced Ajax at home. It was not until the 87th minute of the game that Lewandowski scored the winning goal, 1-0.
Beat Ajax and win with difficulty.
The group of death lives up to its name.
The next day, in Group G group stage, Barcelona was not easy either. They faced Spartak Moscow at home. First, Barcelona opened the scoring at home, and then Spartak Moscow scored two goals to reverse the score.
It wasn't until the 71st and 80th minutes that Messi scored twice, reversing Spartak Moscow again, and finally won with a difficult score of 3-2.
Regardless of Ronaldo or Messi, this round of group matches was very difficult, and in the end they did not score as many goals as Joan Chen.
After the first round of the Champions League group stage, Qiao Anchen became the only person to score a hat trick, directly occupying the first place in the Champions League scorer list. Behind him were Messi, Oscar (Chelsea), who scored twice, and
Mkitarian (Shakhtar Donetsk) and others.
When media from various countries conducted comprehensive reports on the first round of the Champions League group stage, they all highlighted Qiao Anchen’s hat trick:
"Atletico Madrid competes in the Champions League again after three years, beating Zenit St. Petersburg 5-0 in the first round of the group stage and getting off to a great start!"
"Qiao Anchen performed a hat-trick to help the Shelters thrashed Zenit 5-0, while Real Madrid and Barcelona won with difficulty!"
"In the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage of the new season, Qiao Anchen became the only player to score a hat trick, directly occupying the top spot on the scorer list."
"A hat-trick in the Champions League debut, Qiao Anchen creates new history in the Champions League!"
After this round of the Champions League, Qiao Anchen's total annual goals have increased to 69, and he will soon break the 70-goal mark.
The media and fans are paying more and more attention to Qiao Anchen's goals, because the previous world record for total annual goals was only 85, set by German bomber Gerd Muller in 1972.
As for Qiao Anchen, he is now only 16 goals away from this record, and his competition in the second half of this year has just begun.
With Qiao Anchen's scoring efficiency, even if there is no national team game, breaking Gerd Muller's 85-goal record is probably a high probability event.
Even looking at the 100-goal mark is not completely impossible.
This naturally makes everyone pay close attention to every game and every goal scored by Qiao Anchen.
Of course, Messi's performance this year is also incredible. Although the total number of goals has not caught up with Qiao Anchen, it has reached 63, and he is only 6 goals behind Qiao Anchen. The key is that Messi has the national team
He had a chance to compete, but Qiao Anchen didn't.
With additional opportunities to play for the national team, it is entirely possible for Messi to catch up with Qiao Anchen.
Can the two finally break Gerd Muller's annual world record of 85 goals? Who will break it first, or both of them can break it. How many goals will the final record be raised to? Who will become the real new record holder? Will it?
Breaking the 90-goal mark, the 100-goal mark, etc. have attracted great attention from the media and fans. Every game between the two has touched the hearts of countless people around the world.
However, on September 22, in the fifth round of La Liga, Barcelona played against Granada at home. Perhaps because they spent too much energy in the Champions League, Barcelona played extremely difficult. It was not until the 87th minute that Barcelona was defeated by Ha
Wei scored the winning goal, and the opponent's defender accidentally scored an own goal in stoppage time. Barcelona finally won at home with a score of 2-0.
Messi not only failed to score a goal, but also had a dispute with David Villa over the ball during the game. Messi blamed Villa for not passing the ball to him in time, and Villa felt that Messi was
This game is too unique. As long as the ball reaches his feet, he just breaks through and shoots, and never passes it out.
Not scoring a single goal and having an argument with his teammates, Messi's performance in this game was shocking, but it also proved from the side that the pressure Qiao Anchen put on him made Messi, who has always been modest and peaceful, a little unstable.
The next day, September 23, it was Atletico Madrid's turn.
At 23:00 on the evening of September 23, the fifth round of La Liga match between Atletico Madrid and Valladolid continued at the Calderon Stadium.
These games are okay. Although the schedule is intensive, they are all home games, so there is no need to travel. But the next few games are very stressful, and they are almost all away games.
Therefore, there is no room for error in this game. If we cannot win at home, it will be even more difficult in the away games.
Of course, their opponent Valladolid is a newly promoted team. Although they performed well and ranked in the middle of the standings, they obviously cannot compare with Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid is a team that wants to compete for the championship. The two sides are not on the same level, not to mention this is Atletico Madrid's home court.
Simeone changed two more starters and took a small rest. There is no way, the thickness of the bench is not as thick as other giants. If you want to fight on the third line and achieve good results on the third line, you must start preparing for a rainy day from the beginning of the season.
However, the front three of Qiao Anchen, Diego Costa and Falcao continued to start.
Unexpectedly, just three minutes into the game, Valladolid's No. 16 Shastelli was injured while competing for an air ball with Diego Costa in the midfield and had to be substituted.
Diego Costa, on the other hand, was almost unscathed and didn't even receive a yellow card.
This result naturally made the Valladolid players very angry. They surrounded the referee and tried to get an explanation, but to no avail.
The referee saw clearly that the two sides were competing for opportunities half and half, and neither side flinched. In the end, it was just that Shastelli was not in good shape and could not beat Diego Costa, so he was injured.
Costaco did not commit a foul.
He was forced to replace one of the starting players in the first 3 minutes, and the substitute players came on in a hurry without any psychological preparation.
No one is prepared, physically or mentally, to come on as a substitute in the first three minutes.
Under such circumstances, it is conceivable how much combat effectiveness Valladolid, a newly promoted team with weak strength and playing away games, can exert.
In the 12th minute, Qiao Anchen got the ball in the midfield and broke through the interceptions of two players in succession, directly reaching the top of the penalty area.
If Qiao Anchen is allowed to continue to drive into the penalty area, as long as he gets space to kick, he may lose the ball.
Therefore, forward Oscar, who desperately returned to defense, committed a tactical foul outside the penalty area at the last moment and pushed Qiao Anchen down, preventing Qiao Anchen from continuing to break into the penalty area.
But Oscar also received a yellow card and gave Atletico Madrid a frontcourt free kick.
However, fortunately, Oscar is a forward, and his participation in defense is relatively small. Even if he is booked, it will not have a big impact on the entire defense. In addition, the ball is less than 20 meters away from the goal. It is too close and is not a threat.
Very big.
As expected, although Falcao's free kick went over the wall, it failed to reach the goal frame and flew high over the crossbar.
Despite this, the Valladolid fans were not happy because this was just one of Atletico Madrid's attacks.
The subsequent game situation confirmed that everyone's worries were not unreasonable.
In the 19th minute, when Valladolid significantly reduced its defense, Atletico Madrid collectively pressed forward to participate in the attack. Even the full-backs, as many as 8 players participated in the attack, passing a total of 13 passes, and finally opened up the opponent.
In the defense line, Falcao made a pass from the left. Diego Costa successfully fought for the top of the ball in the middle, flicked his head and successfully headed the ball into the upper left corner of the goal.
Atletico Madrid opened the scoring and led 1-0 at home.
