Chapter 309 Role of Example
As Zhou Yi said, conceding two goals in the first twenty minutes proved that Bayern Munich was finished.
In the following games, Bayern Munich could never find the rhythm of the other games, and the mentality of the team's players was obviously out of balance.
After Toni Kroos committed a tackle foul at the edge of the penalty area, he continued to argue with his opponent. Although the foul was undisputed... Toni Kroos just wanted to argue.
After falling behind by two goals, Ribery clashed constantly with Carvajal, who was guarding him.
Once again, when Carvajal was protecting the ball, he knocked Ribery off the sideline. The Frenchman was like a powder keg that was about to explode. His temper rose sharply and he came to trouble Carvajal. As the player with the highest "force value" in the Real Madrid team, Pepe certainly has to stand up for his teammates.
Lewandowski saw that Ribery was going to suffer, so he came to help.
As a result, there was even brief chaos on the pitch.
Order was finally restored and corner kicks could be taken.
As a result, Ribery slapped Carvajal again in the penalty area. Fortunately, Boateng separated the two people and prevented a bigger conflict.
The referee was merciful and did not show Ribery a yellow card.
The Bayern Munich fans in the stands were still reluctant and booed loudly. They believed that the referee should give Carvajal a yellow card. If possible, they would be happier to give a red card...
Of course, the referee didn't listen to them either.
The mental imbalance is also reflected in Luo Ben. When passing the ball, Robben kicked the football in Pepe's face. Pepe fell to the ground. Robben thought that he was deliberately delaying time, so he stepped forward and tried to force him up, which caused another Royal The dissatisfaction of Madrid players almost triggered large-scale conflicts...
Bayern Munich players all play with such a mentality, how can they play well?
In the 34th minute, Real Madrid launched a quick counterattack in the backcourt. Di Maria made a long pass to Benzema in the frontcourt. After stopping the ball, Benzema turned around and passed the football to Bell who was inserted in the middle.
Bale used his speed advantage to break through Boateng and then passed the football sideways. Cristiano Ronaldo, who followed him, kept the ball and pushed the ball directly.
Although the football was blocked by Neuer, it still managed to get into the near corner of the goal!
3:0!
After scoring the goal, Cristiano Ronaldo ran to the corner flag and opened his hands.
This represents the number "ten," and he then flips the palm of his right hand over and over to remind everyone that it is "five."
This celebration means that Cristiano Ronaldo has scored fifteen goals in the Champions League this season!
His achievement has broken the single-season Champions League scoring record jointly held by Altafini and Messi - the previous record was 14 goals, but now it has been rewritten by Cristiano Ronaldo with 15 goals.
"Fifteen goals in the Champions League! Ronaldo has made history! You know, he has missed two games in the Champions League this season! What a terrifying goal efficiency!"

After Real Madrid took a 4-0 lead on aggregate, any fool knew that Bayern Munich had no hope of a comeback.
Although their results in the first round were satisfactory, no one expected that they would face a collapse at their home court instead of a comeback.
In the 70th minute of the game, Bayern Munich showed no signs of scoring a goal. The extremely disappointed Bayern Munich fans stopped booing the Real Madrid players and began to leave the game early.
As the team's head coach Guardiola faced this situation, he could only sit on the coaching bench and drink water one after another, but he was completely unable to come up with effective adjustment strategies.
In the 88th minute, Real Madrid got a free kick opportunity in front of Bayern Munich's penalty area. Cristiano Ronaldo took the kick. The ball he kicked did not go around the wall from above, but from high up. The jumping wall ran along the turf and headed towards the near corner of the goal.
Neuer never expected that the opponent would do this. His center of gravity had already been tilted to the far corner, ready to take off. Unexpectedly, he saw the football coming from under the wall.
At this time, he could no longer make any moves. He could only keep his body stiff and watch the football roll into his goal for the fourth time...
"4:0!! Oh oh oh! Ronaldo! Ronaldo! Cristiano Ronaldo!! His sixteenth goal in the Champions League this season! He broke the single-season scoring record in the Champions League that was just created by himself ! He has played 50 Champions League games on behalf of Real Madrid and has scored 51 Champions League goals, ranking second in team history. At the same time, his 66 Champions League goals are second only to 71 goals. Raul scored 67 goals and Messi scored 67 goals. However, the Portuguese has a higher gold content. Thirty-three goals were scored in the knockout stage. Messi scored 31 goals while Raul only scored 18. …”
Faced with this lost goal, Guardiola rubbed his bald head, then lowered his head and remained silent.
In the end, Bayern Munich was defeated by Real Madrid 0:4 at their home court, and was eliminated with a total score of 0:5, without even the ability to fight back.
This result really exceeded everyone's expectations.

The next morning, when everyone got up and had breakfast in the restaurant, the match between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid last night naturally became the focus of everyone's discussion.
Some people who didn't watch the game were surprised when they heard about the score.
"0:4? Bayern Munich at home? Stop joking!"
"I'm not kidding, this is the score. You didn't watch the game. Bayern Munich was beaten at home and had no power to fight back. I have never seen Bayern Munich in such an embarrassing situation! Even when they played against us , they have never been so embarrassed..."
"I can't believe it... How is this possible? Did the entire Bayern Munich team take the wrong medicine?"
"The devil knows..."
"Now that's good, we overtook us in the league and were eliminated from the Champions League. The 'Cosmos Team' was knocked back to the earth so quickly. It's really... tsk tsk!"
…
A group of people were talking about it.
The air in the area where the coaching staff was located seemed to be somewhat solidified.
The topics they discussed were also heavier than the players: "...I think yesterday's game will definitely give Atletico Madrid some excitement."
"Yeah, nothing is impossible."
"This game is not easy to play..."
"...We must remind the players not to relax and be careful of Atletico Madrid's counterattack..."
So Dortmund's pre-war mobilization this time was a little different from the past. What Klopp said most in Calderon's locker room was to remind the players to pay attention, be careful, not to take it lightly, not to relax, to take it seriously and to go all out. , don’t think the situation is very optimistic.
He used Bayern Munich as an example: "...In the first round, Bayern Munich only lost 0:1. Everyone thought they could defeat Real Madrid at home and advance to the final. But what was the result? They were on their own Real Madrid scored four goals at home! So in the world of football, nothing is impossible and nothing is decreed! You must always remember this sentence!"

Before the start of the game, players from both sides stood in the center circle and lined up to pay silent tribute to former Barcelona coach Vilanova, who had just passed away from parotid gland cancer, and former Yugoslavia coach Vujadin Boskov, who also had just passed away.
This was the only moment of tenderness in the game for both sides.
Then after the game started, what Klopp and the Dortmund coaching staff feared became a reality.
At the beginning of the game, Atletico Madrid, playing at home, launched a very fierce offensive.
They still use high-pressing tactics.
But this time, the mentality of Dortmund players was different from that in the first round.
A three-goal lead made many people think all was well. Even with the lessons learned from Bayern Munich and Klopp's repeated warnings before the game, the loose strings will not be tightened so easily.
In the fourth minute, Atletico Madrid got a chance for a corner kick through attack. Koke took a corner kick, and the football flew to the front point and was pushed out by a Dortmund player.
The ball flew straight to the left wing, and Cork ran right to that place after taking the corner kick. Facing the flying football, he did not stop the ball, but directly kicked the football towards the goal with his right foot.
Koke's original intention was to cross the ball, but he did not control his footwork well and the football flew directly to the back corner of the goal.
Weidenfeller was guarding the pass at the beginning. When he saw the football flying over, his first reaction was to attack and pick it up.
But when he jumped up, he found that the height of the football was a little higher than he expected!
His hand failed to touch the football.
At the same time, the football fell after passing his hand and flew towards the back corner of the goal!
Then it rubbed the lower edge of the crossbar... and fell into the goal!
