The game was held at the Bernabeu. In the first round of the two sides, Atletico Madrid was at home and won 2:1 against Real Madrid.
Therefore, this game is extremely critical for Real Madrid. They need to score two goals to advance to the final, and the offensive pressure is on Real Madrid's side.
The media is generally optimistic about Real Madrid. After all, their performance in the Champions League is quite good, and they are still at home, especially Ronaldo's performance can be called phenomenal.
Of course, Atletico Madrid is not a persimmon kneaded at will. This is the Champions League runner-up match last season, and it is destined to be extremely exciting.
Just ten minutes into the game, Casemiro relied on a pass, and Ronaldo scored the first goal with a header.
In the 26th minute, Modric made a sudden effort and dribbled towards the side. Atletico Madrid's Koke had no choice but to foul and received a yellow card.
In the first half, Real Madrid's offensive pressure was very high, and Atletico Madrid seemed a little tired of coping.
At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid player Carvajal was injured and Nacho came off the bench.
In the 48th minute, facing Griezmann's breakthrough, Isco made a tactical foul and received a yellow card.
Both sides were angry.
In the 53rd minute, Atlético Saul took revenge, overturned Ronaldo, and received another yellow card.
In the 58th minute, Atletico Madrid made a substitution, Saul went off and Gaitan came off the bench.
In 68 minutes, the two sides made simultaneous substitutions.
Real Madrid, Isco off, Asensio off the bench.
Atletico Madrid, Carrasco off, Correa came off the bench.
Atletico Madrid's substitutions failed to reap the benefits.
In 73 minutes, Ronaldo scored again with a long shot from outside the penalty area.
The score was 2:0.
Atletico Madrid panicked, and they started a frantic counterattack.
And Real Madrid responded.
In 77 minutes, Benzema went off and Vazquez came on.
In 83 minutes, Savage fouled.
In 86 minutes, Vazquez broke through decisively and made a pass from the bottom. Ronaldo received the ball in the penalty area and calmly pushed the shot to rewrite the score to 3:0.
So far, Atletico Madrid has gone.
After the 90-minute game, the entire Bernabéu stadium became a sea of changes.
The Real Madrid fans cheered with joy and excitement.
On the other hand, the Atlético Madrid fans covered their faces with their hands and showed pain on their faces. Real Madrid's cheers were based on their pain.
Atletico Madrid's players also turned and left the stadium that made them sad.
Two defeats in a row in the Champions League, both at the hands of Real Madrid, pained them immensely.
Griezmann looked frustrated. He stopped in the player tunnel and looked back at the entrance of the tunnel. The cheers from there were so harsh.
At this moment, two consecutive Champions League defeats made him confused.
Maybe, he should really choose to leave
Griezmann withdrew his gaze, bowed his head and walked forward, his back was extremely bleak.
Real Madrid advance and they will meet Tottenham in the final.
Inside Tottenham's training base.
The players and the coaching staff watched the game together.
Until the end of the game, the entire tactical room was silent.
They thought this Madrid derby was a close contest, but who would have thought that Real Madrid would win the game in such a devastating way!
powerful!
too strong!
Especially Ronaldo, who scored a hat-trick on the stage of the semi-finals, the energy that this man burst out at the critical moment makes people tremble.
Even more frightening is the background of this team.
The league and the Champions League are split into two teams, and the age structure is a perfect combination of the three generations, the old, the middle and the young. Zidane's metaphysics is at its peak.
Tottenham felt a mountain of pressure on this kind of team with strong strength on paper and stronger combat capabilities in reality.
Yi Le's gaze was always on the Croat.
For Tottenham, this is the 'predecessor'!
In Modric, the super midfielder nicknamed "Magic Flute", Yi Le felt unprecedented pressure.
It is undeniable that the current Modric is a bit outrageous.
What others saw was Ronaldo's light, but Yi Le saw Modric's various interludes and introductions.
In the game, there are many midfielders who put pressure on Yi Le, but they all put pressure on the lineup configuration. No one puts such pressure on him personally.
For Modric, he has shed the stigma of other historic midfielders.
He is Modric, Mr. Magic Flute, the strongest midfielder in the world at this stage.
His versatility is frightening.
In terms of offense, he is proficient in long shots, breakthroughs, assists, and set kicks.
In terms of defense, he covers, intercepts, steals, blocks, and is omnipotent.
It's all work!
Among these skills, one single one may not be the top existence in history, but when all these are kneaded on one person, he is almost capable of all midfield tasks.
Casemiro and Cruise are also very strong.
But their advantages and disadvantages are obvious, but beside Modric, their shortcomings are proudly tolerated, and their advantages are infinitely magnified.
Yi Le feels that Modric is the strongest opponent he has ever encountered since playing professionally!
"Yi, facing Real Madrid's midfielder, how sure are you to suppress it?" Boas asked.
Yi Le pondered for a moment, and said truthfully, "I'm not sure!"
Hearing this, everyone was surprised.
Tottenham's strong midfield has always been their reliance, and now even the midfield is going to be stretched?
After a pause, Yi Le continued
"But I can try to fight. He is more comprehensive than me, but in some places, I still feel better than him."
call! ! !
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
That's right, don't say you're dead all of a sudden, making them think they're cold.
"His offensive ability is not as good as mine, but my defensive ability is not as good as him, and in terms of midfield scheduling, I am likely to be suppressed by him, so at the beginning of the game, we need to speed up the rhythm. Once the rhythm is controlled by Modric ,us"
Yi Le didn't continue talking, but everyone else understood that if Modric was allowed to control the rhythm, Tottenham might be over.
Boas also frowned, he didn't expect it to be so difficult.
Yi Le has always been Tottenham's thigh, and now even his thigh is being suppressed, how can he win?
You know, Real Madrid still has a Ronaldo!
"I see, I will work on the tactics and before again, we need to deal with the last two rounds of the league."
There are still two rounds until the end of the league.
Tottenham's opponents are Sunderland and Hull City. They are not too strong opponents. They should be able to win the game.
Tottenham are now ranked second in the league, only 3 points behind Chelsea.
In the 37th and 38th rounds, Chelsea's opponents were West Ham United and Middlesbrough.
Both Middlesbrough and Sunderland are in the relegation zone. They don't think Middlesbrough can overthrow Chelsea.
It still depends on West Ham United!
If the Hammers, nicknamed the giant killers, can really overthrow Chelsea, Tottenham will be really thankful.
