The final of the Copa del Rey will not be held until May 18, and will be held at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, home of Real Madrid.
It's not because Real Madrid reached the final that it was held at the Bernabeu. The venue for the final was decided before the start of the season. Real Madrid can only say that they have done their best to reach the final.
Just like last year's Champions League final, it had already been scheduled to be played at the Allianz Arena, and Bayern Munich finally reached the final, which was equivalent to playing at home.
It's a pity that Bayern Munich failed to live up to their expectations, and Chelsea won the Champions League title from their home stadium, the Allianz Arena.
In this year's Copa del Rey final, Atletico Madrid is also determined to step on the corpse of its arch-rival Real Madrid and take the championship from the Bernabeu.
Real Madrid must maintain the dignity of its home court, so the Madrid derby between the two sides in the final, which will determine the championship, will definitely be quite intense, and the fans will be in for a treat.
But that will be two and a half months later. Now everyone continues to play the league and the Champions League first.
In France, Beckham came on as a substitute in Paris Saint-Germain's 2-0 Marseille match in the French Cup, completing his PSG debut.
Beckham, who was on the verge of retirement and joined with zero salary, did not take a walk on the field. Instead, he actively ran, fought, passed and received the ball, and even received a yellow card. When he came off the field, he won the applause of all Paris fans.
As he said in the post-match interview, he joined Paris not to help Paris sell jerseys, but to play games. He hopes that everyone will pay more attention to his professional performance instead of focusing all attention on
In his appearance and gossip.
Qiao Anchen has always believed that Beckham is a player who is underestimated by his appearance and gossip. Everyone focuses on his handsomeness and gossip, ignoring the perception of his own strength.
His motivation and professionalism in running can only be seen from the fact that no one has ever broken the single-game running distance record of 16.1 kilometers that he set when England vs. Greece in the World Cup qualifying match between Korea and Japan.
Maybe girls like Beckham for his handsomeness, but Qiao Anchen respects him for the same reason as Ronaldo. Both of them are dedicated enough.
Amid the turmoil, two pieces of news about the statue came out in the football world.
European clubs have a tradition of erecting statues for legendary superstars. Arsenal Club has reported that they will erect a statue of their legendary superstar Bergkamp outside the Emirates Stadium for Gunners fans to pay homage.
This once again reminded everyone of Bergkamp, the Prince of Ice, especially his classic goal in which he passed the ball in the penalty area and then shot.
In Qiao Anchen's mind, if factors such as the level of the competition, the opponent, and the importance of the goal are eliminated, Bergkamp's goal is definitely enough to rank among the top three most classic goals in the history of football, or even the first.
name.
This is definitely the pinnacle of football art, and the Ice Prince lives up to its reputation.
He definitely deserves the honor of having a statue erected by Arsenal Club.
But at the same time, another piece of news made everyone laugh.
Statues are usually erected by clubs or football associations for legendary players, or the hometown government erected statues for superstars born in their hometown. In the end, others erected them for the stars.
But what should I do if no one has erected a statue for me, and I am jealous and want to have a statue?
Balotelli gave the answer.
He planned to erect a life-size statue of himself, and he chose the look he wore in celebration of his domineering stripping off after scoring the second goal against Germany on behalf of Italy in the European Cup semi-finals.
It is said that the orders have been placed and the deposits have been paid.
Although the goal was beautiful and the appearance was very domineering, the fact that he paid for the erection of a statue to himself still made all the media and fans laugh.
It is estimated that only such a narcissistic God Ba would do such a thing, and most people would not even think about it.
Soon, the time came to the weekend, and the 26th round of La Liga officially started.
In this round, there is a game that attracts worldwide attention, that is the El Clasico between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
In the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals in midweek, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 3-1 at Camp Nou and advanced to the Copa del Rey final with a total score of 4-2.
Today's league game at the Bernabeu is Barcelona's best chance for revenge.
Real Madrid won a game at Camp Nou, and if Barcelona can also win a game at the Bernabeu, it would be considered perfect revenge.
And, more importantly, Barcelona needs to maintain pressure on Atletico Madrid, the leader of the standings. If Barcelona cannot win this game, it is estimated that Atletico Madrid will widen the points gap again.
The game started at 17:00 in the afternoon. Atletico Madrid had just finished training for the day. Instead of going home, everyone came to the conference room to watch this world-famous Spanish El Clasico to see if Barcelona would lose.
.
If Barcelona loses and Atletico Madrid wins the next day's away game against Malaga, the points gap between the two sides will be further widened, and the possibility of Atletico Madrid winning the La Liga title after 17 years will become increasingly high.
.
Therefore, even though Atletico Madrid's real rival is Real Madrid, everyone is cheering for Real Madrid at this time, hoping that Real Madrid will not lose its place at home.
Real Madrid really did not disappoint Qiao Anchen and others.
After the game started, the two sides directly entered into a fast-paced offensive battle.
In the 6th minute, the Barcelona midfielder made a pass error and was intercepted by Ramos. Then Ramos split the ball and No. 29 Morata, who started for the first time in the Spanish National Derby, made a pass from the left.
Zema outflanked the penalty area and sent the ball into the net with a volley shot.
Real Madrid scored a lightning goal in the first 6 minutes.
Qiao Anchen and others couldn't help shouting "good goal" in the conference room and applauded. Then after thinking about it, they were shocked to realize that it was a goal from their archrival Real Madrid, so everyone restrained themselves a little.
It can only be said that the embarrassment of not being able to win the league championship in 2017 has given Atletico Madrid a strong obsession with the La Liga championship. In the face of the prospect of winning the league championship, even if they can't help but cheer for their mortal enemy, they can't.
Things to avoid.
It's a pity that Real Madrid failed to maintain their lead.
In the 18th minute, Alves took the ball in the midfield and sent an extremely precise scalpel-like long pass, avoiding the interceptions of many Real Madrid players along the way and sending the ball directly to the right area of the front court.
Messi deftly successfully countered offside. After receiving the pass on the right side of the penalty area, he cut inside and adjusted. He entered the penalty area and shook off Ramos before volleying with his left foot into the far corner.
Messi equalized the score 1-1 for Barcelona.
Then the two sides entered a stalemate, and physical conflicts began to increase. Yellow cards continued to appear. Even Messi joined the defense and knocked down Pepe who was carrying the ball from behind.
In the past, it was Pepe who brought down Messi, and this time Messi can be regarded as "revenge".
When the time came to the 82nd minute, Real Madrid took a corner kick from the left by Modric. There was a problem with Barcelona's marking in the penalty area, which actually allowed Ramos to successfully take off and head the ball without being defended.
, succeeded in the goal with a flick of the head, expanding the score to 2-1 again.
The Bernabeu was full of jubilation, and Qiao Anchen and his teammates were also in the conference room of Atletico Madrid's training base, feeling very happy that Barcelona fell behind again.
In the following ten minutes of game time, Barcelona, which was lagging behind, aggressively attacked, trying to score an equalizer or even reverse the score.
It's a pity that Barcelona's offense has never been effective.
In the 82nd minute, there was a controversial scene on the court. Barcelona's Adriano dribbled the ball into the penalty area and was tripped by Ramos.
The referee believed that Adriano's fall was too exaggerated and showed signs of diving, so he did not award a penalty kick.
Naturally, the Barcelona players were quite dissatisfied. They gathered around the referee to demand explanations. Iniesta was shown a yellow card. Goalkeeper Valdes, who roared loudly at the referee, was even shown two yellow cards in succession. Two yellow cards turned into a red card.
Sent off the field.
With Barcelona besieging the referee in this way, the referee will naturally not give them a penalty kick.
In the end, after injury time, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona 2-1 at home with goals from Benzema and Ramos. Following the Copa del Rey semi-finals in midweek, they defeated their arch-rival Barcelona twice in five days.
Kill your opponent and win this national derby.
Barcelona, on the other hand, has stopped chasing points. If Atletico Madrid wins the next day's game, Barcelona will be 7 points behind Atletico Madrid.
By then, Barcelona will be further and further away from the league championship.
