Chapter 1362 The King of the Finals
On the afternoon of April 30th, in the sixth round of No.[-] in La Liga, Real Madrid challenged Real Sociedad away.

The sudden torrential rain before the game turned the entire Anoeta Stadium into a muddy swamp, which made it very difficult for Real Madrid, which has an obvious advantage in pass control. In addition, the rotation of the Champions League semi-finals, Yang Yang and Suarez and other main players sat on the bench, which greatly affected Real Madrid's offense.

On the contrary, the former Real Madrid midfielder Illarramendi played well and made great contributions to the Real Sociedad in the midfielder position.

This also made Yang Yang, who was sitting on the bench on the sidelines, feel very helpless.

Illararamendi is indeed a very capable player, and he performed well in La Liga this season, but unfortunately, he failed to withstand the tremendous pressure of playing for Real Madrid. When he left Real Madrid, he basically bid farewell to the giants, because no team would be willing to pay him a high transfer fee.

At 5 minutes, Real Madrid, who had been unable to attack for a long time, finally made a substitution, and Yang Yang came on as a substitute.

Only 3 minutes later, with a cross from James Rodriguez on the left, Yang Yang volleyed directly from the front of the small penalty area, piercing the Real Sociedad goal, [-]-[-]!

No.80 minutes, Vazquez made a forced breakthrough from the right and made a cross, again at the front of the small penalty area. Yang Yang beat Real Sociedad defender Mikel with a header and made another victory for Real Madrid, [-]-[-]!
A brace!

Real Madrid finally beat Real Sociedad with two goals in the away game, taking three points from the away game.

…………

On the evening of May [-]th, in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, Real Madrid challenged Manchester City away.

After taking a [-]-[-] lead at home, Real Madrid is still full of confidence despite going to the away game.

Unlike the first round, Real Madrid adopted a four-three-three formation this time.

The goalkeeper is Keylor Navas, the defense is Marcelo, Vermaelen, Ramos and Carvajal, the midfielder is Casemiro, the front is Toni Kroos and Modric, and the front trident is a combination of Hazard, Yang Yang and Di Maria.

By the second half of the season, Casemiro had basically replaced Mascherano and became the team's main defensive midfielder. Especially after the [-]-[-] draw with Wolfsburg in the away game, everyone saw Mascherano's old state.

The Argentine midfielder used to be the top midfielder in world football. Even now, he is still one of the best midfielders in world football. However, in the brutally competitive Real Madrid, the requirements for players will be higher. Casemiro has already seized the starting position. It is difficult for Mascherano to compete with the young and strong Brazilian midfielder.

In the away game against Casemiro, Real Madrid was not as aggressive as in the first round.

Both sides appeared to be very cautious after the opening, and both wanted to limit the opponent's attack with high-intensity pressing and oppression.

The initiative of the game is still under the control of Real Madrid. The Galaxy Battleship is not polite to Manchester City. They control the ball instead of the guest, slowly back and forth, and patiently organize and plan the offensive.

Manchester City didn't have a good choice. They still had to deploy a three-back tactic to contain Real Madrid's midfield. The front trident led by Aguero was looking for opportunities and waiting for Real Madrid to make mistakes.

But Real Madrid is also waiting for Manchester City to make a mistake. After all, with two goals in hand, Real Madrid's advantage is more obvious.

After a dull first half, neither side was able to create good scoring chances, and even shot very few times. Real Madrid had an advantage in ball possession, but it was not obvious.

It was a dreary first half, but that was all expected.

After the start of the second half, Manchester City increased their pace appropriately and tried to attack. At the beginning of the game, Fernandinho made a direct pass. Aguero was double-teamed by three defensive players and insisted on creating a chance. He volleyed with his left foot from outside the penalty area. Although there was no threat, Zidane on the sidelines and Yang Yang on the field kept reminding his teammates.

Manchester City began to lose their composure.

Two goals behind, Blue Moon has no choice.

As time went by, the mood of the Manchester City players became more and more impatient. Yaya Toure's position was gradually pressing forward. Manchester City's formation had changed from the original 60 to [-]. In the No. [-] minute, Pellegrini couldn't help but replaced the underperforming Navas with the young player Ishinacho. This was another signal to strengthen the attack.

But when everyone was waiting for Manchester City to let go of their hands and feet, Real Madrid suddenly created an offensive opportunity in the No. 701 minute.

After the midfielder Casemiro steals the ball, he quickly passed it to the right. Carvajal drove the ball straight in along the right side, directly killing the right side of Manchester City's penalty area, and quickly passed the ball to the front of the small penalty area.

Yang Yang jumped in at high speed, got ahead of everyone else, headed the ball from close range, and neatly pushed Carvajal's cross into the lower right corner of the goal.

Goalkeeper Hart reacted but was unable to make a save in time.

One to zero!

Yang Yang raised his right hand high in Manchester City's penalty area, gestured for the number one with his index finger, and laughed loudly.

On the sidelines, Manchester City coach Manuel Pellegrini slapped himself hard on the forehead, obviously very dissatisfied with the result, but there was nothing he could do about it, because he was already mentally prepared.

It's not that he's timid, or that he's useless, but that facing Real Madrid, Manchester City simply doesn't have much to do.

The offensive method is single, which is doomed to make it difficult for Manchester City to create a threatening offense. Facing Real Madrid, which has a strong offense and outstanding players' personal abilities, Manchester City's defense must be firmly grasped.

Actively pressing out like just now, with Real Madrid's counterattack speed and efficiency, once the opportunity is seized, it will be fatal to Manchester City.

Just like the goal just now, it was just an opportunity. Carvajal quickly inserted the ball and passed it into the penalty area. Yang Yang headed the goal. It was as simple as that, but no one could stop it.

This is Real Madrid!
Pellegrini has no choice, if he doesn't want to lose more goals, then he can only accept his fate!
Give it a go?
There may be a chance, but the greater probability is that Manchester City was dizzy by Real Madrid's counterattack and ended in a disastrous defeat.

Skills are not as good as people, which is also an impossible thing.

……

In the end, this high-profile focus battle ended in a dull way.

Relying on Yang Yang's header in the No.701 minute, Real Madrid beat Manchester City [-]-[-] away and advanced to the Champions League final with a total score of [-]-[-]. This is the third consecutive season for Real Madrid to enter the Champions League final. They won the championship in the first two seasons.

Not only that, this is also the sixth time that Real Madrid has reached the Champions League final in the past seven seasons, and they have also won all the previous five times!
This is the ninth time in Yang Yang's career that he has reached the final of the Champions League, and he has won all the previous eight times. He can be called the king of the final of the Champions League!

……

Real Madrid beat Manchester City [-]-[-] in an away game. The game was dull and they received a lot of criticism after the game, but Real Madrid are used to it, because of the pragmatism that Real Madrid pursues in a strong dialogue. As for exciting football, you have to wait until you are sure enough to win.

The day after Real Madrid entered the Champions League final, Atletico Madrid traveled to the Allianz Arena in Munich to challenge Bayern Munich away.

The first round of the match between the two sides was held at the Calderon Stadium. The Sheets relied on Saul's wonderful world wave in the No. 11 minute to narrowly beat the Bundesliga Banba by one goal.

The game was won, but the disparity between the two sides was quite obvious. Bayern Munich had [-]% of the ball possession rate and more than [-] shots.

Guardiola, like Pellegrini, even though he conceded the ball early, did not dare to take risks easily, after all, there is still a second round.

At the Allianz Arena, the game was in the fast lane from the start.

Both Guardiola and Simeone are familiar with each other, and the two famous European coaches are not polite, and went directly to hand-to-hand combat.

The atmosphere in the arena is extremely hot, after all, it is related to the qualification for the Champions League final.

Bayern Munich still holds more than [-]% of the ball possession rate, and Atletico Madrid still focuses on defense. Not only does the defense perform steadily, but Augusto and Gabi, who were introduced during the winter break in midfield, firmly control the front of the penalty area.

This style of play of the Sheets is very similar to the season they reached the Champions League final two years ago, and it is also very difficult.

No. 30 minutes, Augusto tripped Alaba, Harvey Alonso took a direct free kick at the front of the penalty area, hit the foot of Atletico Madrid defender Jimenez, changed the line and rebounded into the goal.

Two minutes later, Douglas Costa took a corner kick and Jimenez fouled in the penalty area. Atletico Madrid was awarded a penalty kick, but Thomas Muller took the penalty kick and was saved sideways by the brave Oblak.

During the intermission, Simeone made adjustments and gave it a go. He replaced Augusto with Carrasco, strengthened the team's frontcourt offense, adopted a four-three-three style of play, and quickly passed a quick counterattack. Cork sent an overhead ball. Griezmann headed the ball to Torres. Torres sent a through ball.

This time, Bayern Munich was put on the fire and roasted!

Although the total score was two to one, Atletico Madrid scored a valuable away goal. Even if Guardiola's team scored another goal in the subsequent game and successfully equalized the score, it would be difficult for them to beat Atletico Madrid.

In other words, they need to score at least two goals.

The smell of gunpowder on the court continued off the court. Because of a player conflict on the court, Simeone and Guardiola also had a quarrel on the sidelines. The two even almost fought, and were finally persuaded by the staff.

No.704 minutes, Franck Ribery sent a direct pass from the left flank, Alaba made a cross, Vidal then nodded and ferried the ball, Lewandowski scored an empty goal and equalized the score for Bayern Munich. The total score of the two sides returned to [-]-[-].

But Atletico Madrid's away goals still have the advantage.

Afterwards, the Sheets strictly defended and focused on counterattacks. In the No. 803 minute, Torres dribbled the ball inside the penalty area and created a penalty kick. Unfortunately, Torres took the penalty himself. The angle was too straight and Neuer fell to the ground and saved it.

However, despite launching a crazy offensive, Bayern Munich failed to score in the end.

In the end, the two sides shook hands with a total score of [-] to [-], but Atletico Madrid relied on the advantage of away goals to eliminate Bayern Munich in a thrilling manner and successfully reached the Champions League final.

The Madrid duo meet again in the Champions League final!
