Chapter 218 Fighting the Cosmic Team Again

Atletico Madrid eliminated Barcelona to reach the semi-finals of the Champions League.

In the eyes of the European media, Atletico Madrid is definitely not as strong as Barcelona.

"Barcelona was eliminated at home, and the Sheets entered the semi-finals of the Champions League again after 40 years"

"The Sheets go one step further, entering the Champions League semi-finals for the fourth time in team history"

"Barcelona is out and missed the Champions League semi-finals for the first time in seven years"

"The most monster team in Europe, the only undefeated team in the Champions League"

Martino's incompetence or player's lack of desire for glory, Barcelona's cycle is over

"Diego Simeone, the rise of another Argentine coach"

In short, early the next morning, the European media was full of news about Atletico Madrid's promotion and Barcelona's exit.

Entering the Champions League semi-finals this time is the first time that Atletico Madrid has reached the Champions League semi-finals since the 73/74 season, after 40 years.

Entering the Champions League semi-finals this time is also the fourth time in the history of Atletico Madrid.

And Atletico Madrid eliminated Barcelona, ​​which also ended the opponent's consecutive record of entering the Champions League semi-finals.From the 07/08 season to last season, Barcelona has never missed the semi-finals of the Champions League for six consecutive seasons. This is the best result since the restructuring of the Champions League, and it has now been terminated by Atletico Madrid.

Before this round of competition, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid were the only two undefeated teams in the Champions League, but Real Madrid lost 0:2 to the Hornets in the away game, so Atletico Madrid became the only team in Europe that has not lost this season. Unbeaten team in the Champions League.

If Barcelona loses, it is natural for someone to take the blame. Coach Martino is of course the first choice.

Bringing Atletico Madrid into the Champions League semi-finals, and at the same time occupying the top spot in La Liga still has a lot of advantages, Simeone's coaching ability has also been affirmed a lot.

Simeone has now become the second Argentine coach to lead the team to the semi-finals of the Champions League. The first was Cooper back then.

Cooper led Valencia to the Champions League final for two consecutive years in the 99/00 and 00/01 seasons, but unfortunately lost to Real Madrid and Bayern, which were strong at the time. Later, he went to Inter Milan and led Inter Milan to the Champions League semi-final once.

In fact, Simeone can get such affirmation mainly because of comparison.

Martino, who is also Argentine, led a giant like Barcelona to the semi-finals of the Champions League. Simeone led Atletico Madrid to do it, and naturally received numerous praises.

Atletico Madrid eliminated Barcelona, ​​which made many Real Madrid fans very happy.

Real Madrid legends Figo and Guti tweeted successively, congratulating Atletico Madrid on their promotion, and mocking Barcelona at the same time.

In the same game as Atletico Madrid, Bayern defeated Manchester United 3:1 at home, and eliminated the opponent with a total score of 4:2 to advance.

The four teams in the Champions League semi-finals this season are Bayern, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Chelsea.

With the four teams coming out, the lottery and various media analysis are naturally indispensable.

The four teams in the top four of the Champions League generally believe that Bayern and Real Madrid are superior in strength, and Atletico Madrid and Chelsea are weaker.

Moreover, Atletico Madrid is also considered the most shabby of a semi-final team.

In terms of players, Bayern was the champion of the Champions League last season, Chelsea was the champion of the Champions League last season, and Real Madrid had reached the semi-finals of the Champions League in the previous three seasons. Most of the players in these three teams All have enough experience in the Champions League, and most of them have participated in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

And what about Atletico Madrid?

The Atletico Madrid team is basically a bunch of rookies, only Ringer and Thiago have experience in the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Ringer participated with the team Bayern last season, and Thiago participated in the 04/05 season when he played for Chelsea.

In such a comparison, Atletico Madrid is indeed very shabby.

And in another comparison, Atletico is even more shabby.

In the comparison of the head coaches of the top four teams, the head coaches of the other three teams, Real Madrid's Ancelotti, Bayern's Guardiola, and Chelsea's Mourinho, all three of them have led the team to win the Champions League twice. Champions League coach.

What about Simeone?

Simeone's best achievement so far is a UEFA Cup champion.

Compared with the famous coach who holds two Champions League trophies in his hand, this is really shabby.

After the quarter-finals of the Champions League, the draw for the semi-finals will soon be held.

Before the draw started, the European media speculated about the possible situation of the semi-final draw.

The European media all believe that the most perfect method of drawing lots is that Real Madrid will play Chelsea and Atletico Madrid will play Bayern.

In this case, first, the strongest Real Madrid Bayern can be avoided, and they will meet again in the Champions League final, dedicating a beautiful Champions League final to everyone.

Second, in this way, Mourinho can return to visit his old club, return to the Bernabeu again, Ringer return to the Allianz Arena, and meet old Bayern teammates again.

The grievances and grievances between Mourinho and Real Madrid's dressing room at the beginning, even now, the media still talk about things from time to time, which is indeed a highlight.

And it was only after leaving Bayern that Linger jumped up like a rocket and became a super striker in Europe second only to Ronaldo Messi, so his return to his old club is also a highlight.

And another interesting lottery is that Real Madrid meets Atletico Madrid, Bayern meets Chelsea, which can also be avoided by strong teams, and there can also be Madrid's city derby, Guardiola's fight against Mourinho. .

When Ringer saw this point of view, he was also taken aback.

Because according to the media, if this kind of lottery result appears, it will really be interesting. UEFA will not really do it like this, will it?
At noon on April 4, Ringer and the Atletico Madrid team watched the semi-final draw together, and Figo was invited as a guest.

In this way, Linger watched as Figo drew Real Madrid for the first time, Chelsea for the second, Atletico Madrid for the third, and Bayern for the fourth.

According to the rules, Real Madrid will play Chelsea first and then away, and Atletico Madrid will play Bayern first and then away.

Ringer rubbed his hair, feeling a little bit big.

Shouldn't it be Real Madrid playing Bayern and Atletico Madrid playing Chelsea?
Ringer thought that this might be the change he brought about.

In short, no matter what, this time I will play the universe team again.

Ringer took out his mobile phone and posted a Weibo: "Playing the universe team every year, so fucking lucky."

Soon, a bunch of melon-eating crowd came to watch.

"Boss, your signing luck is too bad, right?"

"You will play against AC Milan in the quarter-finals, Barcelona in the quarter-finals, and Bayern in the semi-finals. Your club has definitely offended UEFA."

"Come on, Master Ball Fairy. Anyway, you have experience in eliminating the Cosmos team. Keep working hard this time."

"Boss, it's time to prove your true strength."

Atletico Madrid managed to achieve a stunning result in the Champions League this season. Cerezo went to participate in the three knockout draws. What were the draws?
The top [-] draws the second best group AC Milan, the top eight draws the former Cosmos team Barcelona, ​​and now the top four draws the current Cosmos team Bayern Munich.

Atletico Madrid fans think that Cerezo is a person who has no luck in the draw, so don't go to the draw next time.Anyway, for this kind of lottery, as long as someone from the club's top management is present, it doesn't matter who it is.
