Real Madrid's Group G can be said that the overall situation has been decided. The Blancos and the old lady will qualify together. Even if Real Madrid loses in this round, they will still be the first in the group.However, because it is a home game, Schuster really dare not lose. Real Madrid's home record continues to be brilliant this season and remains unbeaten so far.

As long as this advantage exists, all head coaches will try their best to maintain it.But considering that they will go to the Nou Camp to fight Barcelona in three days, so the Germans did not send all the main players, and the rotation of half is the best choice.

In this game, Iker Casillas, who was in poor form recently, was on the bench, and he was replaced by No. [-] goalkeeper Dudek.And Gago, who is the core, still starts the game, but this time his position is relatively forward, close to the penalty area.

This time Schuster adopted a different formation than before, similar to Barcelona's 4-3-3, but different from Barcelona's front trident.Real Madrid went directly to the three forwards, with Higuain at the top as the center forward, and Raul and Robben on the wings as wingers.Gago is behind the three of them. In this game, Gago is playing the attacking midfielder. Behind Gago are the two defensive midfielders of Diarra and Garcia.This formation similar to two arrows made the Bernabéu fans very surprised, and they had enough expectations for the combination of the four players in the frontcourt.

If the power of Gago, Raul, Robben, and Higuain is fully utilized, then absolutely no team on this planet can stop them.

Needless to say, Gago has just been promoted to No.1 in the world. Raul and Robben are famous superstars. Higuain is probably the least famous of the four, but he is the best club of the century in Real Madrid. , With consecutive goals in recent games, the name of "smoking gun" has gradually spread around the world.

Three top attacking players, plus Gago, who can be said to be the world's number one midfielder behind them, this luxurious frontcourt quartet played more power than Schuster imagined in the first game.

In the No. 20 minute of the first half, Gago accurately found Raul with an oblique pass in the middle, and Lord of the Rings hit the ball from a small angle and scored.Scored his No.60 five goals in the Champions League and continued to write his own legend.Before the end of halftime, Robben used his breakthrough ability to face the goalkeeper single-handedly and scored on the right.

At the beginning of the second half, Gago and Raul's two-to-one kill into the penalty area faced the blocking volley of the two defenders and scored.The ball passed through the goalkeeper's crotch. This is Gago's fifth goal in this year's Champions Cup. He continues to rank at the top of the list and overwhelm the top scorers in the world's major leagues.

In the league, Gago also ranked second only to Eto'o with [-] goals, and his assists list has been his personal list since he came to La Liga.Although Harvey has officially transformed into a midfield master this year, there is still a big gap compared with Gago, the new Mr. Golden Ball.The league has not yet passed halfway, and Gago has already completed a double-double with [-] goals and [-] assists. Judging from the statistics, he is well-deserved to be Mr. Golden Globe.

It is indeed a very happy thing to beat Zenit 3:0 at home and enter the top [-] with the first place in the group.But at the end of the game, Robben fell to the ground and sprained his ankle while grabbing the ball, and once again hung the free card.And Pepe, who has always been strong and strong, also suffered a collision with the opponent's forward.

Faced with this result, Schuster spit out a foul word, cursing the Zenit players.

At the end of the group stage of the Champions League, fans all over the world focused their attention on La Liga. In the No.15 round, Barcelona played against Real Madrid at home.

This time of year is the heyday of La Liga, and for the fans, the duel between these two clubs is the best match on the planet.There is no other team in the world with a more luxurious lineup than them, nor can any team be more dominant than them.

In recent years, football has revolved around these two giants in La Liga. Feng Shui has taken turns. God has come to Spain today.Not only has La Liga once again surpassed the Premier League to become the most dominant league in the Champions League, even Spain, which has always been jokingly called the "King of Qualifiers", won the European Cup.

The best feng shui treasure in football has changed from the Premier League to La Liga. To be precise, it should be Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​​​the two most luxurious teams in football.

This year's first game of the century is full of highlights. First of all, Barcelona currently occupies the top position in the league with 35 points.This result was unexpected by everyone before the start of this season. At the end of last season, the meritorious coach Rijkaard submitted his resignation, and Guardiola of the second team took office in a situation that was not favored by anyone.The head star Ronaldinho left Serie A, and the teenager Messi was withdrawn as the core to fight against Gago, who was in full swing in Real Madrid.

The poor record of one loss and one tie at the beginning of the season also met the expectations of the fans. Guardiola almost dismissed get out of class and became the shortest-lived Barcelona head coach in history.Fortunately, Cruyff stood up and supported his proud disciple.After the first two unbeaten games, Barcelona broke out under tremendous pressure to shock the entire La Liga.

La Masia's consistent 4-3-3 finally began to show its power, and the next unstoppable seven-game winning streak made them rush to the top position in one fell swoop.

And it seems that God is also looking after them. Last season's double champion Real Madrid had an unfavorable start because of the absence of the core Gago at the beginning of the season.Although Gago used a wave of victories to catch up to the second position immediately after Gago came back, but under the leadership of Guardiola, Barcelona withstood the pressure and did not lose a game after a draw.Until the Battle of the Century, they overwhelmed the mighty Real Madrid with a three-point advantage to occupy the top position.

And the importance of this game is for both sides, it can be said that it is a championship battle, and whoever wins is the first.

So for Real Madrid and Barcelona, ​​this is a game that they can't afford to lose. The head coaches of both sides played their main players in this game.Even for Real Madrid who will go to Japan to participate in the Club World Cup after this game, in the eyes of all Meilinger, the championship of the Club World Cup is not as important as the victory of a century war.

The fans of Barcelona will not have any seats left for nearly 10 people in this game, and use this kind of practical action to cheer for the team.They believe that they can win the championship this year, because this is a reincarnation. In the previous two years, Real Madrid ruled the roost, so now it is their turn.

"Congratulations, Phil!"

Before the game, Messi congratulated Gago in the channel for winning the Ballon d'Or.

"Leo, I believe you can also get this award, but it's a pity that the title of Argentina's first Golden Globe already belongs to me."

Although Gago said so, Messi could still see his complacency. Every player would be very happy after receiving this award.And the title of "Argentina No.1" is really tempting.

"I will not lose to you again this year, because this year I have a group of stronger teammates around me, even stronger than your teammates!"

After listening to Messi's words, Gago shrugged with a smile. To be honest, Barcelona's cards in this game are really better than Real Madrid.

Pepe's absence had to let Metzelder, who had been out of battle for a long time, play. In the position of left back, the German conservatively chose the veteran Salgado, and Marcelo sat on the bench very depressed. .

Robben's absence made the three-forward lineup practiced by Real Madrid before the game almost useless. In the end, Schuster slapped the head and pushed the almighty Gago to the winger position.As for the attacking midfielder, he chose Guti, but he was afraid that Real Madrid's deputy would not be able to match Gago alone, so he also sent Van der Vaart on the field.In the position of the defensive midfielder, Diarra is alone responsible for protecting the front of the penalty area.

With such an incomplete lineup, Real Madrid fans don't have enough confidence in this game.

Three forwards, double attacking midfielder, single defensive midfielder, and four defenders, this four-dimensional lineup aroused the surprise of all experts as soon as it appeared on the court.

"Is Schuster crazy? He actually dispatched this lineup. The most suitable position for Gago is in the midfield. It is okay to let him play as a second striker, but facing the striker directly in the penalty area will kill his organizational talent. Without his control in the midfield, what confidence does Real Madrid have to attack Barcelona at the Nou Camp!"

"This is an unexpected lineup. Whether the effect is good or not remains to be seen, but what is certain is that Schuster is not a quiet person, and he is constantly innovating. Let Gago play forward, maybe it will be able to His already fierce offensive talent is better played."

"Iker Casillas has returned to the starting lineup again. Although he conceded a lot of goals in the previous rounds, San Iger is still the best goalkeeper in Real Madrid. There is no one. It's just that he is under a lot of pressure in this game. Barcelona It is the team with the most goals in La Liga this season, more than Real Madrid. And now the defense in front of him can be said to be half disabled, Salgado, Cannavaro, Metzelder, La Moss. Although he is also a first-class player, he is always not so reassuring. I hope Casillas can regain his form and try to keep the goal."

"So, let's take a look at the main lineup of the home team."

This time Barcelona's starting 11 players can be said to be the best players available in the hands, goalkeeper Valdez, defense Alves, Marquez, Puyol, Abidal, the three midfielders are Yaya Toure, Harvey and Gudjohnsen, the front trident is Messi, Henry, Eto'o.Iniesta is absent due to injury, which is probably the best news for Real Madrid.

However, Barcelona relied on this lineup and bowed their heads in the entire La Liga. Now except for Real Madrid, they are invincible.And Real Madrid is also a La Liga team that bows their heads and bows their heads. The only one who is still unwilling to surrender is their arch-enemy, Barcelona.

Two "La Liga Invincibles" are destined to have only one king!
