After the 29th round of La Liga, because Barcelona defeated Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid temporarily leads Barcelona and Real Madrid by 5 points.

There are still 9 rounds left in La Liga this season. Atletico Madrid leads the two teams by 5 points, which is not a small advantage.

The hat-trick of Messi finally grabbed the headlines of the sports newspaper again. This is his second hat-trick in the national derby.In the history of the Barcelona team, there are only three national derby hat tricks, two of which were done by Messi, and one by the lone wolf Romario.

With two consecutive league hat-tricks, Messi became popular again, and Atletico Madrid was also affected.

Because the quarter-finals of the Champions League are coming soon, Messi suddenly became hot, and Atletico Madrid, who is Barcelona's opponent, will naturally be mentioned. Originally, Atletico Madrid was the underdog. Even less favored.

Ancelotti has also been on fire recently. In his first season in charge of Real Madrid, he was double-killed by Atletico Madrid and Barcelona in the league. Now many media are pointing the finger at Ancelotti, thinking that he failed to let Real Madrid Play your best.

According to "Aspen": Real Madrid spent more than [-] million to buy people in the summer. If Ancelotti can't win a decent championship, he will definitely leave get out of class after the end of the season.

In the past two days, the hottest team in European football is Linger's old club Bayern. Under the leadership of Guardiola, they have already won the championship ahead of schedule.

Won the Bundesliga championship 7 rounds ahead of schedule, surpassing the record of 6 rounds ahead of Bayern created last season, and currently Bayern has won 19 consecutive victories in the Bundesliga, which is only one short of the 20 consecutive victories created by Bayern at the beginning of this season. field.

In short, during the recent period, the name of Bayern's Cosmos team has resounded throughout Europe, and it is clearly aimed at defending the Triple Crown.

Last week, Atletico Madrid got a week of rest, but from now on, Atletico Madrid has to return to the days of double matches a week.

On March 3, in the middle of the week, it was also the day of the 26th round of La Liga. Atletico Madrid played against the mid-range team Granada at home.

Now in the second half of the season, Ringer can clearly feel that his teammates seem to be gradually getting tired.

This time, at home against a team that has no worries about relegation and no hope of a European war, Atletico Madrid played quite hard.

In the first half, the two sides drew a goalless draw. Although Atletico Madrid had a slight advantage, there was no good way to score.

In the 72nd minute of the second half, Turan created a free kick in a good position in front of the penalty area, and Ringer scored the penalty. This was the only goal of the game.

This is Ringer's fourth free kick this season. He has played nearly 40 games for Atletico Madrid in all competitions this season, and only scored 4 free kicks.

The efficiency of free kicks is really not high. No wonder those who can score about 10 free kicks in a season are free kick masters.

Atletico Madrid relied on Ringer's free kick to score at home, and finally scored 3 points.

But in the other games of this round, Real Madrid actually lost the chain.

Probably because of the loss of the national derby, morale was hit. In this round of the league, they lost 1:2 away to Sevilla, and suffered their first two-game losing streak in the league this season.

Barcelona defeated Celta 3:0 at home, so in the current La Liga standings, Atletico Madrid has 77 points, Barcelona has 72 points, and Real Madrid has 69 points.

Real Madrid is 8 points behind the top of the list, and there are 8 rounds left in La Liga. According to the "Daily Sports Daily": "Real Madrid has indeed withdrawn from the La Liga championship this season."

At the post-match press conference after Real Madrid lost, Ancelotti was still stubborn: "We can still win the La Liga championship, because Atletico Madrid and Barcelona always lose points when they play weak teams."

Ancelotti's words are correct. This season, Real Madrid is the most stable in scoring points against weak teams. They were double-killed by Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. This is a loss of 12 points. But before that, Real Madrid could still hold on The score is not let go, it is achieved by conceding fewer points to the weak team.

But now that he is getting farther and farther away from the La Liga championship, it is not appropriate for Ancelotti to say this at this time, and he was ridiculed by the Spanish media for this reason.

"Yes, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid will always lose points against weak teams, and Ancelotti can keep Real Madrid from losing points against weak teams, but when he faces strong teams, he will not lose points at all. No score."

"Ancelotti spent a season scoring points against weaker teams and now he has lost two games."

In Barcelona's home victory, Messi scored another goal. In the last three rounds of the league, Messi has recovered 7 goals frantically, and is about to launch an impact on this season's La Liga Golden Boot.

At present, La Liga has played 30 rounds, and Ronaldo ranks first in the scorer list with 27 goals.

Ringer has scored consecutive goals recently, and the number of goals has reached 24, ranking second.

Costa's recent goals have dropped significantly, and he currently ranks third with 23 goals.

Messi ranks fourth with 22 goals.

Then came Sanchez and Benzema, who also had more than 15 goals.

With 8 league rounds left, the battle for the league Golden Boot is still possible.

After defeating Granada at home, Simeone gave the team a day off, and he could clearly feel the fatigue of the team.

Of course, more importantly, Atletico Madrid's most tested half month is coming, and Simeone must prepare the whole team.

Linge was in the apartment at this time watching the report of "Marca", which was called "The Devil's Schedule of the Sheet Army".

"In the midweek game, the Sheets relied on China Lin's free kick in the second half to score three points, but the team was exhausted and the home game was so difficult. Atletico Madrid fans might not be satisfied. But In fact, for the Sheets, the real devil's schedule has not yet begun."

"In this week's weekend league, Atletico Madrid will face Athletic Bilbao at home, and then in the middle of the week, the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals, Atletico Madrid will go to the Nou Camp to challenge Barcelona, ​​and then return to Madrid. Atletico Madrid will face Villarreal at home, and then there will be the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals."

"The two games against Barcelona, ​​I believe everyone will know how difficult it will be, and Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal, that is also a difficult role to deal with, especially at the end of the season today. .”

"Since the beginning of this season, La Liga has seen Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid compete for the league championship. In the European area that has received less attention, Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal are also fighting for a No.4. In order to qualify for the UEFA Champions League, the two teams are also playing inextricably. From the beginning of the season to the present, the two teams have not been able to decide the winner. Athletic Bilbao has a slight advantage and has occupied the No.4 position for a long time. But Villarreal is also clinging to the score and has been waiting for the opportunity to overtake."

"Now it's the end of the season, and the Sheets need to play four consecutive games against Barcelona and two teams competing for Champions League qualification in two weeks. This kind of schedule, no team wants to face. "

"These two weeks will also be the most critical two weeks for Atletico Madrid this season. In the Champions League, Atletico Madrid is a weak side, and the possibility of being eliminated is even greater."

"In the league, although Atletico Madrid leads Barcelona by 5 points, if they are a little careless in the two rounds against Athletic Bilbao and Villarreal, they may be overtaken by Barcelona, ​​or even only need to catch up. Going back to a game, this is very dangerous for Atletico Madrid, because in the last round of the league, Atletico Madrid will go to an away game to challenge Barcelona. As long as Atletico Madrid's lead does not exceed 3 points at that time, Barcelona can beat Atletico Madrid Win the championship."

"In these two weeks, if the Sheets are eliminated by Barcelona in the Champions League and overtaken in the league, Atletico Madrid, which has been amazing for most of the season, is likely to suffer a collapse and finally return to the original old team. on the way."

"The only good news about this devil's schedule for the Sheets is that three of these four games were played in Calderon. Atletico Madrid's unbeaten record at home this season is still maintained."

　Watch the finals later, there will be two updates today, and I will make up for it tomorrow.
