Chapter 308 Champions League Semi-Finals

Dortmund was lucky enough to win against Leverkusen, and the road under their feet suddenly became much smoother.

In the next two rounds of the league, facing two opponents who had no desires or desires, everything seemed to become easier.

The outside world thinks so.

But Klopp doesn't think so.

On the way back to Dortmund from Leverkusen, he couldn't wait to hold an ideological meeting. The only purpose was to unify the players' thinking. Don't think that if we win Leverkusen, we can definitely win the championship.

There are three outcomes in football matches - victory, draw and defeat.

In other words, the probability of winning each game is actually only one-third, while the probability of not winning the game is as high as two-thirds.

Klopp used the example of last season to illustrate and told the players that it is not time to relax yet.

Dortmund defeated Bayern Munich in a direct dialogue with Bayern Munich last season and took the lead in the league standings.

But then when they faced Wolfsburg, they were almost pulled down.

In that game, Dortmund opened the scoring and took the lead.

But then Wolfsburg chased three goals in a row, rewriting the score to 3:1.

If Dortmund loses, they will be overtaken by Bayern Munich again.

Dortmund woke up from a dream in the second half and struggled to catch up. Finally, in the 84th minute, Mark helped Dortmund take the lead 4:3.

Dortmund also finally won the opponent.

Therefore, nothing is impossible, and we must always respect the game.

After the game against Leverkusen, the next thing waiting for Dortmund is Atletico Madrid.

This is the second leg of the Champions League semi-finals.

In the first round, Dortmund defeated Atletico Madrid 3:0 and had already half-stepped into the Stadium of Light in Lisbon, Portugal.

They have the upper hand.

Atletico Madrid, who returned to their home court, fought with their backs against the odds.

According to Madrid media reports, Simeone issued a mobilization order for the team, requiring the players to do their best in the game and treat this game as a Champions League final.

Atletico Madrid fans also expressed that they would support their team at all costs and they would turn the entire Calderon Stadium into a veritable "hell".

The Dortmund media is relatively optimistic.

I think that as long as Dortmund does not make mistakes, everything Atletico Madrid does is in vain.

Although the game between Dortmund and Atletico Madrid was the first game in the first leg of the semi-finals, in the second leg, they turned into the second game.

The first game day was the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

In the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals, Bayern Munich only lost 0:1 on the road.

Many people are optimistic that they will advance.

On the one hand, it is because of the first round of the game, on the other hand, it is often advantageous for teams that play first before home in the schedule. There is also a third reason, which is that Real Madrid often does not get much advantage when playing away games against German teams. .

Prior to this, Real Madrid had played a total of 26 away games against German teams, with only two victories. Among the losses were a 0:5 defeat to Kaiserslautern and a 1:5 defeat by Borussia Mönchengladbach. It was such a humiliating game that Gladbach was humiliated and was beaten by Hamburg 1:5.

Of course, Real Madrid's last victory on the road was this season - they defeated Schalke 04 6:1 away in the quarter-finals.

Although this victory is brilliant.

However, they have only won two out of twenty-six away games, and this data is still very shabby.

Moreover, many people believe that Schalke 04 can lose to Real Madrid, which only means that Schalke 04 is too weak, but it does not mean that Real Madrid has broken the curse.

Bayern Munich and Schalke 04 are not teams of the same level at all. Schalke 04 was defeated 1:6 by Real Madrid at their home court, which means Bayern Munich can too.

Therefore, everyone is still more optimistic about Bayern Munich advancing to the final.

It seems that Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund will meet in the Champions League finals for two consecutive seasons, which is about to become a reality.

※※※

Dortmund is also very concerned about the match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. They also want to see which team they will meet in the final and collect intelligence in advance.

Guardiola's team was reversed by Dortmund in the league. The hope of winning the league is getting slimmer. The only thing that can save this season is the Champions League. Bayern Munich will definitely strive to win the Champions League trophy, otherwise this season will be described as "a failure" for Guardiola.

Dortmund's coaches and players watched the match from their hotel in Madrid.

Before the game, everyone also felt that Bayern Munich would have an advantage when playing against Real Madrid at home. It is not easy for Real Madrid to win the game.

Unexpectedly, not long after the game started, the situation deviated from everyone's expectations.

Only sixteen minutes into the game, Real Madrid got a corner kick. Modric took the kick. Cristiano Ronaldo jumped high in the middle. His head was almost as high as the crossbar, but he still couldn't reach it. football.

Although he didn't hear football, he attracted the attention of almost all Bayern Munich players. Everyone looked up at the small Cristiano Ronaldo, but ignored that behind him, a more terrifying danger was already there. Attack - Real Madrid center back Sergio Ramos advanced from behind at high speed, then jumped high, appeared from behind Cristiano Ronaldo, and hit the flying football, such speed and power , it’s already amazing that goalkeeper Neuer can make a save, let alone save the football...

The football flew into the goal! The deadlock was broken and the total score became 2:0. Real Madrid further expanded their lead!

The Dortmund players in front of the TV watching this ball were stunned. They didn't expect Real Madrid to score so quickly...

Although they are competitors, they also admit that Bayern Munich is very strong. So they were all surprised that Bayern Munich conceded the ball so quickly.

But what surprised them even more was yet to come.

Just four minutes after Bayern Munich conceded the goal, they conceded again!

In the 20th minute, Real Madrid won a free kick on the right that almost formed a 45-degree angle with the goal.

Di Maria came to take the free kick on the right. He kicked an inside arc with his left foot and the football went straight to the back corner of the goal.

Pepe in the middle jumped up and headed the ball backwards. Ramos, who was closely behind him, jumped out again and pushed the football that Pepe had rubbed against!

This was a header almost on the line of the small penalty area. Neuer didn't even have time to make a save this time... The football just hit Bayern Munich's goal like a shell!

"2:0!! Oh my god! Real Madrid leads Bayern Munich 2:0 at the Allianz Arena! Can you imagine? This is Bayern Munich's home court!" Even the Spanish commentator was a little unbelievable.

Not to mention the Dortmund coach and players in front of the TV - everyone watching this game was stunned and dumbfounded.

Real Madrid now not only overtakes Bayern Munich 2:1 on the total score, but they also have two away goals. Even if Bayern Munich equalizes the total score, they will be eliminated on away goals.

"...Sergio Ramos! He is the first defender to score twice in the Champions League semi-finals! He is really a killer for Real Madrid!" The Spanish commentator kept praising Ramo. Sri Lanka. "In the history of Real Madrid, there are three defenders who scored twice in a single game in the Champions League. Panucci and Roberto Carlos in 1998. The third one is Ramos. But the first two None of them were able to complete the feat of scoring twice in such an important game as the Champions League semi-finals! Even Ramos is the second Spaniard in history to score twice against Bayern Munich in the Champions League. The last one was Raul. ·Gonzalez…”

Zhou Yi in front of the TV sighed: "Bayern Munich is finished."

Although the game had only started for twenty minutes, Zhou Yi could already draw such a conclusion.

Who would have thought that such a team would advance to the finals by sweeping the "Cosmos" Barcelona 4-0 in this stadium a year ago?

The league was reversed by Dortmund, and the Champions League semi-finals faced another collapse.

Even if they were sworn enemies, Zhou Yi could not help but feel a little sad when he saw that his opponents, who had been entangled with them for several seasons and had been inseparable from each other, were in such a mess.
