The Champions League knockout round is about to rekindle, and before that, the weekend league, Real Madrid and Barcelona will start at the same time.

Real Madrid and Barcelona will both play at home, with the former facing Real Betis and the latter facing derby, with the opponent being Espanyol.

Since he will play against Liverpool in the middle of next week, Real Madrid sent Hunterlaal as a tough player in the Bernabeu battle, and Van der Fate also waited for the opportunity to sit on the bench for a long time.

Real Madrid defeated Real Betis with great pleasure at home. Qin Xiong played a four-time assist and scored a goal in the game. He was restrained and created opportunities for his teammates who were actively involved.

Just as the Real Madrid game ended, the Bernabeu burst into deafening cheers!

Not only cheering for Real Madrid's big victory, but also celebrating the excitement of archrival Barcelona's loss at the Camp Nou!

Barcelona scored twice in the match against Espanyol and ended their winning streak!

1:2

De La Pena, who has not scored in the league for more than four years, staged the most shocking killing of the old master!

The gap between Real Madrid and Barcelona suddenly changed from 6 points to 3 points!

At the press conference after the Camp Nou, Guardiola felt tremendous pressure from countless reporters present.

This is a shameful failure!

Because Barcelona lost to both the derby opponent, Espanyol and the last in the league!

Espanyol's victory at Camp Nou broke Barcelona's 27-year unbeaten record against Espanyol at home!

Under great pressure, Guardiola is still calm.

After the game, Guardiola said that from himself to the players, he was "deeply touched" by the results of the game, but at the same time he also said: "We will continue to move forward, there is no doubt."

Guardiola also emphasized that a loss in a game did not affect Barcelona's lead. He said: "No one has said that the game will be easy, but we are still in a good position and we will stand up again tomorrow and respond to people. We lost the abnormal game, but we still maintain a good advantage."

After losing the derby, Guardiola also seemed more cautious.

"It's very difficult to win the league. We have to keep winning and fight until the end. The loss comes and it comes. Now we will consider leaving the Camp Nou and we are going to Madrid next week. The league championship will eventually fall into our hands."

Guardiola also talked about the situation on the field, thinking that too much interruption caused the team to lose the rhythm they should have. Guardiola said: "It's a game that requires some rhythm. Because it's lost, we need rhythm, both teams need it, and when the game is full of fouls, it's hard to find the rhythm."

During the game, the two teams clashed continuously. Keita was sent off at 37 minutes into the game, which became the focus of the speeches of both sides after the game.

Guardiola believes that this penalty "changed everything." "My job is not to judge the referee. It is not our own fault that we lose the game, and the referee knows what he did."

Barcelona deputy captain Xavi pointed the finger at the referee: "The referee dominated the game, and the Espanyol player told him to show a red card to Keita, and he did that."

"We were forced to play 10 for over an hour. The referee killed us and our football."

Chairman Laporta believes that the team should forget the defeat as soon as possible. Laporta said: "We played a little impatient, but we must forget the result as soon as possible."

The La Liga championship situation suddenly changed the neutral fans, and Real Madrid shortened the gap with Barcelona to 3 points, one game!

In other words, if there is only one national derby left in the league tomorrow and Real Madrid defeated Barcelona at the Bernabeu, then Real Madrid will defend the La Liga championship in a row!

This situation is much better than before.

Real Madrid is inspired. Barcelona's unexpected defeat will be their stimulant to go to the Champions League

Liverpool took a passenger plane from the UK to Madrid.

The Red Army generals sat calmly in their seats to accumulate energy, and the atmosphere in the cabin was very quiet.

Head coach Benitez is still working with his coaching colleagues in the back row.

As a master of tactics, Benitez, who is good at observing the details of the game, led the team to Madrid this time, not to bow to Real Madrid.

Liverpool will also be stronger this year than last season!

First of all, the new players from last year further integrated into the team, and secondly, the team's technical and tactical playing styles have strengthened and consolidated their strength.

In the Premier League, Liverpool is now ranked first and is expected to win the first league championship in the Premier League era. In terms of offensive firepower, Liverpool is also proud of all the heroes, and at the same time, the defensive performance is comparable to Manchester United, the best in the league, and Chelsea. Overall, Liverpool has reached the strongest state in recent years. At the same time, it is also close to their own extreme combat power!

In order to prepare for the knockout match with Real Madrid in two rounds, Benitez was exhausted, and he repeatedly studied all the games of Real Madrid since 2009.

All of these matches are Real Madrid's win in the league.

The reference value of the previous competition is not very valuable. The competitions in the past two months have the most valuable research.

Benitez repeatedly analyzed the changes in the offensive and defensive situation throughout the game. In the past two months, Real Madrid's opponents have almost no way to limit Real Madrid's offensive.

During the repeated viewing and thinking, Benitez discovered a problem that he thought was very critical, and this discovery would be the starting point for him to start technical and tactical arrangements.

When Liverpool's team arrived in Madrid, Benitez was as low-key but confident as ever.

Real Madrid, which seems to have recovered from its invincible state last season, has exposed a huge weakness and flaw in his eyes!

However, in La Liga, most teams have fallen into a state of being a fan of the authorities due to their long-term battle with Real Madrid!

While preparing for the game, Benitez instilled his tactical ideas into the Red Army generals and asked the players to implement them firmly!

Liverpool created difficulties for Real Madrid in the Champions League last season, but in the end it failed.

Meet Real Madrid for two consecutive seasons, and the upcoming battle of revenge belongs to the Reds!
Chapter completed!
