"Yes, we are the defending champions and to be back at the top of the league is a fantastic thing for us."

"But I hope the players can also clearly understand that when we are ranked second in the standings and occupy the leading position, there are two different situations."

"When we beat Real Madrid and Barcelona and took the lead in the league, all the teams would target us, but it wasn't terrible. The terrible thing was that we lost the chasing opponents and lost the catch-up. We can only use our own limits and peaks as benchmarks to constantly surpass and break through ourselves.”

"When you are satisfied that you are the leader, that is when you are surpassed by your competitors."

"I will do my best to make all the players forget this game and play every game well!"

Simeone's remarks at the post-match press conference were very calm and sensible, and they were unanimously recognized and affirmed by La Liga professionals.

Because for Atletico Madrid, the league has not yet passed halfway, and it is far from the time to celebrate.

In contrast to Barcelona, ​​after losing the Tianwangshan battle, Enrique was disappointed with the team's performance, and after losing Messi, Neymar, who was alone, Enrique expressed his understanding and also admitted , the team lost Messi is a big loss, but he does not think the team will lose the La Liga championship.

The Barcelona management also quickly made a decision to stabilize the military, that is, the team will further strengthen the team during the winter break.

This is also understood by the outside world as a signal that Barcelona will pour a lot of money into the transfer market during the winter break.

As the La Liga battle for the lead comes to an end, the UEFA Champions League has also rekindled the flames of war.

Atletico Madrid will challenge Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga away.

In this death group, the performance of Simeone's sheets is not inferior to La Liga.

In the first game of the group, Borussia Mönchengladbach was pushed into the abyss of despair with 3-0. After that, they defeated Roma 2-0 in the away game. In the third and fourth rounds, they scored 2-1 and 3-1 at home and away respectively. , Killed Manchester City.

In the fifth round of the group stage, Simeone arranged for a semi-main team to play when Atletico Madrid had already qualified in the group ahead of schedule. As a result, in the away game, they fell behind by one goal in the first half.

But in the second half, Simeone adjusted his tactics and the team regrouped. Soon, with the goals of Diego Costa and Carlos Tevez, Borussia Mönchengladbach was reversed 2-1, providing assists for the two players. , namely Alex Teixeira and Rafinha.

Manchester City beat Roma 1-0 with Abu Bakar's goal in the away game.

As a result, Borussia Mönchengladbach ranked bottom and lost the right to qualify for the group. It is even difficult to get third in the group, and it is difficult for Roma to shake Manchester City's second position in the group.

Returning to La Liga, Atlético de Madrid took advantage of the morale of defeating Barcelona and once again sat at the Glory Stadium. With Griezmann's brace and goals from Isco and Willian, they beat Spain 4-0 at home. people team.

Not only that, a week later, they challenged Granada in an away game, and the Sheets defeated Granada 2-0 with the goals of Jose Jimenez and Griezmann.

Two victories have firmly defended Atletico Madrid's position as the league leader.

On the other hand, Barcelona, ​​although in the thirteenth round, relied on Neymar's goal to win, but in the fourteenth round, they had an unexpected away game with Valencia and ended in a one-to-one draw.

As a result, the point gap between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona has expanded from the original three points to five points.

With this gap of five points, the leader of the Sheets Corps can be regarded as firmly seated.

As for Real Madrid, although they also won two consecutive victories, the gap in points was a bit big before, and it is difficult to catch up now.

Not only in La Liga, but also in the UEFA Champions League, Atletico Madrid played with all substitutes in the last round, but they still defeated Roma 1-0 at home. The teenager Correa assisted Munir to score.

Manchester City scored 4-2 at home against Xingladbach, and joined hands with the Sheets to qualify from the group.

In another group, Southampton established the top spot in the group early. Although Ancelotti played as a substitute in the next two rounds, no one expected that the performance of the Saints was even better.

First, they beat Juventus 4-2 away in the fifth round, and then beat Wolfsburg 8-0 at home in the sixth round.

In these two crazy scoring games, Harry Kane shined, scoring a total of three goals, and players such as Sturridge, Martial, Ravel Morrison and others showed Pretty good strength.

This also surprised fans all over the world to see that the Saints are so strong even on the bench, which made the whole of Europe exclaim and admire the outstanding strength of the Saints.

In the end, in this group, Southampton and Paris Saint-Germain qualified first and second respectively, Juventus ranked third, and Wolfsburg could only regretfully be eliminated.

If it is said that Southampton and Paris Saint-Germain in Group A are safe and sound, then the results of Group B are surprising, especially the performance of Manchester United.

In the first round of the group stage, Manchester United unexpectedly lost to Ajax. Brazilian striker Luis Adriano performed quite eye-catchingly, but in the second round, Manchester United won without any risk. Tuchel's Burger.

The score between the two sides was two to one. Manchester United narrowly won, and Hamburg was a little depressed when they lost.

Tuchel's team suppressed Manchester United on the scene, but the score fell behind.

But after learning from the pain, Tuchel's team quickly won Ajax 2-0 in the third round of the civil war.

But in the fourth round, after returning home, De Boer's team turned around and defeated Hamburg 2-0.

The two civil wars made Yang Huan feel distressed, so why is it too urgent to deal with each other?

On the other hand, Manchester United, in the third and fourth rounds, faced CSKA Moscow with one win and one draw, and their performance was very stable.

But in the fifth round, the Hamburg team challenged CSKA Moscow in an away game. The result was safe and secure, 2-0, beheading the Russian giants and laying a foundation for their group qualification.

However, Manchester United was sitting at Old Trafford and was forced to a zero-to-nil by Ajax.

At the end of the fifth round, Hamburg temporarily ranked first in the group with nine points, Manchester United ranked second in the group with eight points, Ajax ranked third in the group with seven points, CSKA Moscow ranked in the group with four points fourth.

In other words, in the last round, as a guest at the People's Park Stadium, Manchester United faced Hamburg. With no advantage in goal difference, Giggs' team can only give it a go to have a chance of winning.

Facts have proved that Manchester United's strong attack has indeed received a miraculous effect, and it took the lead in scoring in just seven minutes of the opening.

But three minutes later, when Manchester United hadn't recovered from the excitement of scoring, Dzeko's goal equalized the score for Hamburg and brought the score back to one to one.

In the 34th minute, Gotze's goal put the score beyond for the Hamburg team.

This caused Manchester United to come out almost crazily in the second half, and the Hamburg team was also forced to retreat.

But in the 72nd minute, Hamburg's young central defender Taher mishandled a cross from the wing, leading to an own goal and giving Manchester United a chance to equalize.

But just when Manchester United's morale was high and they were about to swallow the Hamburg team in one go, Douglas Costa forced a breakthrough from the side and knocked back before the baseline. Dzeko then inserted a calm push and scored again, 3-2 .

In the end, the Hamburg team won Manchester United 3-2 at home and kicked the Red Devils to the Europa League.

In another game, Ajax lost CSKA Moscow 2-1 with two goals from Luis Adriano and Bernard after conceding a goal first.

As a result, the Hamburg team and Ajax joined hands to qualify from the group.

This surprised Yang Huan.

Because he originally thought that Manchester United would definitely occupy one of the qualifying places, but he didn't expect that no matter whether it was Hamburg or Ajax, they would not be at a disadvantage when facing the Red Devils.

As for CSKA Moscow, it was completely overwhelmed by the top three.

In the group, Benfica safely followed Real Madrid and qualified as second in the group.

In Group D, Barcelona led Zenit St. Petersburg to qualify.

Group E, Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur advance from the group.

Group G is Atletico Madrid and Manchester City, Group G is Monaco and PSV Eindhoven.

But the surprise is the group.

If it is not surprising that Klopp's Inter Milan qualified first in the group, then Anderlecht qualified second in the group in the face of Valencia and Lyon. It surprised everyone.

But if you consider that Belgium has produced a large number of talents in recent years, Anderlecht's qualifying is not worth making a fuss about.

After the UEFA Champions League group stage, Yang Huan calculated that, except for those teams that had been eliminated in the qualifiers in advance, all of his teams would qualify from the group stage without exception, which surprised him.

Among the sixteen knockout teams, Inter Milan, Anderlecht, Southampton, Hamburg, Ajax, Benfica, Atletico Madrid and Monaco, Yang Huan's team actually occupied half of the country.

This is too unbelievable, right?

However, this quickly brought another problem, that is, the knockout group.

With the first in the group against the second in the group, coupled with the principle of avoidance of the same country, there is no doubt that there will be a situation of fighting in the same room in the knockout round.

Although this is a bit cruel, at least, in Yang Huan's view, this is a good thing.

At the very least, it's really fighting in the same room, at least one team can advance, isn't it?
