Chapter 474: A National Derby That Doesn't Live Up to Its Name

After the first leg of the Champions League, the attention of Real Madrid players quickly returned to the league, as the 31st round of the league was just around the corner.

In the second leg of the Spanish national derby, in the middle of this Champions League quarter-final is Real Madrid's game against Barcelona, ​​and this time Real Madrid also needs to go to Catalonia to play away.

This is good news for Real Madrid, because in terms of Real Madrid's points advantage in the league this season, Real Madrid can completely ignore the outcome of this game. Even if Barcelona wins Real Madrid, the two sides still have 15 points. a lot.

After the draw with Málaga in the last round, the points difference between the two sides came to 18 points. With only 8 rounds left in the league, even a fool knows what 18 points means.

Of course, 18 points does not mean that Barcelona has completely lost the opportunity. In theory, Barcelona still has a chance, as long as Real Madrid lose all the next eight rounds of the league.

But is this possible again? Even in the world of football, there is never a shortage of miracles and comebacks, in the current situation, unless all the more than 20 main players in Real Madrid are injured.

Well, in fact, Barcelona has no hope, but whether the Barcelona people are willing to admit it is another matter, so the next game depends on Rijkaard's choice.

Continue to fight with Real Madrid in the league, fight for that illusory hope or give up the league to focus on the Champions League, which is up to Rijkaard to decide.

In fact, this is a decision that is completely unnecessary to consider. Although the cup is full of luck, it has reached the quarter-finals after all, and Barcelona's opponent is Benfica.

But in fact, Barcelona and Benfica did not win the first round. Barcelona, ​​who was a guest in Portugal, returned to Catalonia with a score of 0:0. That is to say, Rijkaard must make a choice before this round. .

As for Li Yi, this guy said that he didn't need to make any choice at all, because the league championship was firmly in his pocket, and there was no need to take risks for an unimportant league, even if the opponent was Barcelona.

Although Li Yi didn't value the next game against Barcelona, ​​this guy did not forget to humiliate Barcelona, ​​and announced the starting list for the game two days before the game.

This is Chi Guoguo's contempt, but the Barcelona people have nothing to do with Li Yi, because Real Madrid's advantage in the league is too great.

As a result, Rijkaard suffered another tragedy. Because of Li Yi's behavior, Barcelona fans and the media blamed Rijkaard for what happened at the moment.

If it wasn't for Rijkaard's poor record,

Would Real Madrid dare to do that?

Compared with the frenzy of the Barcelona people, the Real Madrid people feel very happy. Many people even think that Li Yi is more comfortable doing this than fighting Barcelona to win the game. Therefore, at the moment, Barcelona and Real Madrid have no way to do it. , could not make any rebuttal.

Of course, what Li Yi did was not just to contempt or humiliate Barcelona. The real purpose of Li Yi's actions was to anger Rijkaard and the top management of Barcelona.

Li Yi clearly remembers that Barcelona has reached the top of the Champions League this season. Although Li Yi is not afraid of Barcelona, ​​Li Yi does not mind if he can change his opponent.

It's a pity that Li Yi's strategy did not succeed. Although Rijkaard was a bit hot as a player, he completely restrained his temper after becoming the head coach. He did not fall for Li Yi.

Compared with the Catalan media and fans, Rijkaard undoubtedly seemed a lot calmer. Between the league and the Champions League, he made a very correct choice.

Substitute, and then Rijkaard also announced the starting list, and this starting list is very similar to Real Madrid's, almost all substitutes, this starter also told everyone that between the league and the Champions League, he chose the latter.

In other words, the next Spanish national derby, which was supposed to be very intense, has a lot less to watch because of the choice of the coaches of both sides.

"This is a national derby that doesn't live up to its name." In the face of this situation, the media who are watching the fun and not taking it too seriously have condemned Li Yi and Rijkaard.

But unfortunately, the media's condemnation was of no use. Rijkaard concentrated on preparing for the battle and refused the media's interview. As for Li Yi, he simply ignored these people.

At Camp Nou, although the media did not recognize this derby, the fans came as always. Camp Nou was full, and players from both sides cheered and applauded after their debut.

Two minutes later, Real Madrid returned a kick, Guti sent a through ball, Soldado responded as a success, but unfortunately the final shot was saved by Valdes.

The scene of this game can almost be judged from the opening confrontation, but both sides seem to have forgotten to bring their shooting boots. Although both sides hit the goal quite a lot in this game, it can be said that they have completely let go of the kick.

But the goals were very few, and it could even be said that it was quite late. At the end of the first half, the score on the field was still 0:0. Faced with this situation, the commentator couldn't help but tease: " Both sides seem prepared to put all their bad luck in this game at once."

In fact, there was still a goal in this game. In the ten minutes before the end of the game, both sides seemed to find the feeling of scoring at once.

In the 82nd minute, Barcelona took the lead to complete the goal. Iniesta, who came off the bench, scored for Barcelona. Iniesta broke through along the wing after receiving a pass from his teammate.
