"Haha, son, this game is really exciting... Your father, I'm about to have a heart attack. But that's fine, I won in the end. We may defend the Champions League now!" Old Alemani said to his son with a laugh.

Jose also had a smile on his face - although he was usually calm, this classic reversal, which appeared under his command, did make him feel proud - but he still maintained a certain calmness: "Of course I hope to defend the Champions League, but the opponent in the final is not a weak team... Porto's team is similar to ours last year. They also have accumulated strength and have a group of players who are not very famous but have strong strength. This game is also a tough battle."[]

"Has we killed them in the European Super Cup?" Old Alemuni said indifferently: "No matter how strong they are, can they be as good as AC Milan or Arsenal?"

Jose smiled and shook his head. This view actually represents the mainstream view of the public. After passing Monaco's level, everyone thought that Mallorca would be able to win easily in this final. After all, although Mallorca encountered some unfavorable situations in the group stage this season, his luck was pretty good in the knockout round. Among the top 16, Bayern, Manchester United, Real Madrid are the best team in the Champions League in the past five years. As a result, Bayern was killed by Real Madrid, Real Madrid was killed by Monaco, and Manchester United lost to Porto early. There was no truly traditional strong team in the semi-finals. After defeating two Premier League teams, Arsenal and Chelsea, Mallorca defeated Monaco, the biggest dark horse in the Champions League this season. After passing three levels in a row, it is already a smooth road ahead!

However, Jose knew that this final was definitely not easy to play. Facing Porto's strong team and Mourinho, the best coach in Europe in the next ten years, this final must be a fierce battle. What's more, UEFA may also stand on Porto's side. After all, a dark horse is better than a strong team capable of monopolizing the Champions League. After the reform of the Champions League, there is no team that can defend the title. Although football is round, the game is very accidental, but it is also related to UEFA's unwillingness to appear in a team that stands out. They have always seemed very harsh to defend the champions. The most difficult group stage and the most difficult knockout opponents... The same is true for other teams. It is not that UEFA can't stand Mallorca, but because the situation of blooming flowers is one of the important factors to maintain the attractiveness of the Champions League.

Look at the opponents Mallorca encountered in the Champions League this season. AC Milan and Ajax are all very outstanding teams. Bruges' strength is definitely not bad. In the knockout stage, he first encountered Arsenal, who remained unbeaten in the Premier League this season, and then met Chelsea who spent hundreds of millions of pounds in the transfer market in the summer. And if Monaco had not emerged, they would have met their old opponent Real Madrid in the semi-finals... It seems that Mallorca has taken some advantage in the knockout season this season and has not encountered a truly strong team. However, strictly counting these opponents he encountered, none of them are weak, and each of them has the ability to reach the finals or even win the championship!

What's more, who was eliminated by AC Milan? La Coruna and La Coruna were eliminated by Porto. They also eliminated Manchester United and Lyon, which has won two consecutive Ligue 1 titles and has made great strides towards three consecutive championships. Of course, the value of this knockout round will not be low.

It would be a huge joke if Mallorca thought that he could tie the opponent to win the championship in the final just because of his lack of fame.

Of course, there is no need to let this out. At least Jose knows that the players in Mallorca will not underestimate Porto after suffering losses in Monaco. Although Porto is a team from the Portuguese League, the strength of the league seems to be lower than that of Ligue 1, but you should know that Porto's performance in the European League is much better than Monaco...

After talking to his son for a few words, Old Alemani told his son the king's promise. After hearing the news, Jose was stunned at first. At first he felt a little incredible. After all, this approach was like a leader in China who was in trouble and made all the commentators unable to say NBA but only American professional basketball...

But if you think about it carefully, it seems that this is nothing. It’s just that you used to say how Mallorca is like in the competition. In the future, you will change your words and say how Real Mallorca is like. Spanish TV stations are all public TV stations. To put it bluntly, Spanish commentators are all civil servants. After the Royals ordered them, they also had to change their words - this is not impossible.

When Spanish commentators change their words, it will be much easier for other commentators to change their words. It is very simple to become popular or become a conventional one, but the subtle influence is much greater. There are many teams with the royal title in La Liga, but the only team that requires the full name to be called in the game is Mallorca!

By then, Jose will be able to say with confidence - my abbreviation is also Real Madrid...

However, although this matter is good, it is a future event. Even without the promise of the King, he will try his best to win the Champions League and the Triple Crown - this is Jose's goal this season.

Mallorca's performance in the past two years can barely be considered a dynasty.

You should know that in history, not many teams called dynasties can win the Champions League and the League championship for two consecutive years. Mallorca also won two league runners-ups in the previous seasons, one League Cup and one Cup champion, and the continuity is no less than those dynasties in history.

But if you want to win such honors, you can't just sit there and think about it. You have to win the remaining games - although there are only four games left to play, if you don't win, the Triple Crown champion will only be empty talk.

Among the remaining four games, Mallorca is three league games and one Champions League final. The last round of the league will be held on May 16, while the Champions League final will be held on May 27, which also means that Mallorca can devote all its energy to the league before the Champions League final comes.

Mallorca's last three opponents are not weak. They next face Real Madrid away and then challenge Celta away. In the last round, they face Espanyol at home. None of these three opponents are easy to deal with. Although Real Madrid has basically lost hope of winning the league, they are seven points less than Mallorca. Recently, they have suffered two consecutive losses and have been sluggish in morale, but in the end they hope they will not give up easily. Celta and Espanyol are both relegation teams, and they will not easily let Mallorca take three points - this is one of the reasons why Valencia, who is one point less than Mallorca, still has the hope of becoming a league champion.

However, Valencia's opponents are not weak, namely Sevilla, Villarreal, who have the chance to attack the European arena and Albacete who is fighting for relegation. It is still unknown who will win.

After a day off in Mallorca, Jose led the Mallorca players to the capital Madrid to prepare to challenge Real Madrid away - last season at Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium, Mallorca left beautiful memories. In two games within three days, they won the arrogant Real Madrid two times, especially in the away games in the league, they swept Real Madrid five to one, and further confirmed Mallorca's title of "Real Madrid nemesis".

Queiros has been baked on fire now - two of the three-time champions have been lost this season, and the league has almost become a bubble. The situation of being empty has caused him to be numerous criticisms. Fans and the media miss Bosque. His biggest reliance was that Real Madrid management represented by Florentino also lost patience with him because of poor performance, and his players may not be able to obey him. Although Queiros always let superstars play at the same time to meet their requirements, in addition to the number of appearances, superstars also need results. Obviously, Queiros cannot bring them these things now.

On the one hand, I just went through a wonderful reversal. Although I was tired, I had high morale. On the other hand, there was no problem with physical fitness, but I was sluggish. The team was full of conflicts. In this case, it was often not the players' strength, but the players' mentality...

Real Madrid fans looked at the Mallorca players entering the court with a complicated mood. On the one hand, they hated this team that is now snatching their honors, and even more hated their title of "Real Madrid Nemesis". On the other hand, they were a little grateful to Mallorca for killing Monaco and avenging them. At the same time, in the Champions League game, Mallorca continued the record of La Liga team entering the finals for five consecutive years in the Champions League, which made them feel very complicated...

For the two teams ranked above Real Madrid, Real Madrid fans are not very convinced by Valencia, because in the face-to-face confrontation, Valencia rarely gains any advantage against Real Madrid. The 98-99 final is a good example. Valencia, who was arrogant in the knockout stage, was stumbled into the final in the final and played a clean three-to-zero cleanly. In the league, Valencia rarely beats Real Madrid. On the contrary, Real Madrid fans are more convinced by Mallorca, who always beat Real Madrid.

If you want to choose a team that wins the championship among these two teams, Real Madrid fans would rather be Mallorca win the championship - however, a team that has not won the triple crown in La Liga so far, if Mallorca wins the triple crown, where will Real Madrid, known as the best club in the 20th century, be put?

In this game, Queros also sent all the main players to play. In addition to Zidane, who was suspended from red cards in the last round, Casillas, Raul, Ronaldo, Beckham, Figo and other superstars all appeared. Even if there is only one last glimmer of hope, Queros hopes to seize it.

However, Real Madrid's weakness in the central defender and midfielder position made them still at a disadvantage in this game. After Zidane was suspended, Queros asked Figo to be the core of the organization and sent Solari to replace Zidane. At the same time, Elgra's position was premised to increase the midfield's running ability. However, the main central defender partner sent a fragile combination like Pavin and Bravo, which allowed Jose to quickly seize the weakness of Real Madrid, and Etoo became the most shining one in this game.

Star, his breakthrough in the middle made two Real Madrid's central defenders miserable. In the eleven minutes of the game, he received a long pass from Alonso's backcourt, then stopped the ball and broke away from Bravo's defense and scored. In the 36th minute, he even got rid of Pavin, Bravo, Beckham and Figo in the middle and then drove straight into the brace twice, scoring his 21st and 22nd league goals this season, only two away from Ronaldo's twenty-four goals!

Before the end of the first half, Alonso scored the third goal with a beautiful direct free kick, and Mallorca secured the victory in the first half. Although Real Madrid received a corner kick from Beckham to score and Figo's penalty kick in the first and second half, they were still powerless. Three to two, Mallorca defeated Real Madrid away, with 80 points and continuing to take the lead in the league!
