After defeating the Yellow Submarine, the Atletico Madrid team has to prepare intensively for the Champions League match.

Although they got a 1:1 draw in the away game in the first round, this score is not safe at all.

In the history of the Champions League, there are many people who went to an away game to tie their opponents 2:2, but were eliminated at home, let alone a 1:1 away game. Atletico Madrid did not dare to be careless at all.

Before the game started, the war of words between the two sides began.

Martino expressed his confidence in the face of the "Daily Sports Daily": "This is the fifth time we have played against each other this season. We are very familiar with each other. The team has already prepared targeted tactics. We The fight will be over in 90 minutes."

In fact, the Hornets took a 2:0 lead in the first half, which once made people see the hope of a major reversal, but in the end it fell short.

Real Madrid finally eliminated the Hornets and advanced, which can be regarded as revenge for being eliminated in the semi-finals of last season.

Due to the simultaneous absence of Costa and Turan, Simeone had to make some adjustments to the lineup.

The defense has not changed, the midfield four are Gabi, Thiago, Koke, Mario Suarez.

On the front line, Adrian was abandoned, and Raul Garcia, who came back from the lifting of the ban, was mentioned on the front line to partner with Ringer.

Although Raul Garcia is a midfielder, his offensive ability is also good, especially in the high ball competition, and Raul Garcia is also the player with the third most goals in the Atletico Madrid team this season, second only to Ringer and Costa.

For Barcelona, ​​in addition to Valdez's continued absence due to injury, Pique was also absent due to injury, and Bartra replaced him in the starting lineup. The other positions remained unchanged from the previous start.

Then Atletico Madrid began to take the initiative, here is Calderon, Atletico Madrid has not lost here this season.

In the 4th minute, Juanfran stepped forward and made a pass, and Raul Garcia shot high from a long distance in front of the penalty area.

Two minutes later, Raul Garcia took the ball again and made a pass on the right side of the front of the penalty area. Ringer threw off Bartra in the middle and volleyed.

"Lin~~Good opportunity~~Hit the door!!"

Bang~~!

The ball bounced off the crossbar.

The direction of the ball bouncing back has not changed much, it is still coming towards Ringer, but there is a slight deviation, probably not far from the left side of Ringer's body.

Seeing this, Linger leaned a little to the left, headed the ball a little, and passed the ball to the other side of the goal.

"The crossbar rejected Lin's goal, Lin still has a chance, header~~ pass?!"

"Koke~~Koke will follow up at the back!!"

Ringer headed the ball over, and Cork quickly followed up with a kick, and the ball flew directly into the Barcelona net.

"Gooooool~~~~"

"Only 6 minutes into the game, Atletico Madrid scored, it was a perfect start!!"

Cork, who scored the goal, ran around the field excitedly. This was his first goal in the Champions League, and he was very excited.

Atletico Madrid were the more proactive side on the field after the restart.

In the 10th minute, Cork reciprocated and sent an exquisite direct pass. Ringer successfully inserted it against offside. Since Mascherano followed closely behind him, Ringer directly kicked the goal, and the ball hit the crossbar again. It bounced back, and this time it bounced to the other side, and was cleared by Alba.

After hitting the crossbar twice in a row, Ringer felt that this was a bit magical.

Five minutes later, Gabi scored the ball in the middle, Ringer caught the ball in the ribs, stopped and passed Bartra and rushed into the penalty area.

Bang~~!

There was another muffled sound, and the ball hit the post and directly bounced off the baseline.

Seeing such a situation, Ringer helplessly spread his hands and shrugged.

Is this goalpost still an Atletico Madrid goalpost?Why are you always against your own people?

"It seems that Ringer's luck is not very good today. He hit the door frame three times in the first 15 minutes. If he was lucky, he might have already scored a hat-trick." The domestic commentator also sighed for Ringer: "Fortunately, in the first When he hit the crossbar once, he reacted very quickly, headed the bounced ball to Koke, and assisted the opponent to score a goal."

Atletico Madrid played this series of offensive shock waves. Although they were only leading by one goal, Calderon's atmosphere was completely boiling. The team song was continuously uploaded from the opening stage, and it never stopped.

After Atletico Madrid's offensive passed, Barcelona also began to look for offensive opportunities. Neymar was the most active one, constantly taking the ball to break through, but before Atletico Madrid's intensive defense, he could only hit the wall again and again.

In the first half, the two sides ended with a score of 1:0. At the beginning of the second half, Barcelona accelerated the pace of the game and replaced Sanchez and Pedro one after another. However, Atletico Madrid's defense was still impenetrable, and Barcelona's offense could only hit again and again. on the wall.

In the 61st minute, Neymar sent a pass after dribbling through three people in a row. Messi pushed the shot in front of the goal and missed it. This was Barcelona's first truly excellent opportunity.

Barcelona continued to press the attack, and Atletico Madrid's counterattack was much easier.In order to prevent Atletico Madrid's counterattack, Busquets, Mascherano and Alves all received yellow cards.

In the 80th minute, Atletico Madrid almost sealed the victory. There was too much space after Barcelona pressed the attack. Raul Garcia made a direct pass. Ringer broke into the opponent's penalty area and kicked the goal near the penalty spot. He made a successful catch and poked the ball out of the baseline with his toe.

"Barcelona has taken the initiative to speed up the pace since the beginning of the second half, but this is more like their dying struggle. It is difficult for them to shake the defense of the Sheets." This is the Spanish commentator's statement in stoppage time.

Although Ringer didn't score a goal, he was the most active player in the game and even sent out assists. After the game, he was still elected as the best player in the game, and he had to be interviewed by reporters.

"Advancing to the semi-finals? It is a happy thing to advance to the semi-finals. We haven't reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for many years. As you can see, Calderon is boiling now, everyone is very happy."
