The Champions League is midweek and the league is weekend, so after the Champions League match with Barcelona, ​​the league came in a few days.

The entire Atletico Madrid team has just arrived in Barcelona and has returned to Barcelona this time.

Some netizens joked that Atletico Madrid should not leave after playing Barcelona, ​​just stay in a hotel and wait for the league to arrive, so as not to run back like this, and the time spent on the road may be longer than training.

It's not completely unreasonable to say this.

But Atletico Madrid didn't do that.

After playing against Barcelona on Tuesday night, they rushed back to Madrid overnight. They rested for half a day on Wednesday morning, resumed training on Wednesday afternoon, trained for one day on Thursday, trained for half a day on Friday, and set off for Barcelona in the afternoon, and trained for the adaptation field in Barcelona that night.

Then the whole team returned to the hotel to rest and prepare for tomorrow's game against Espanyol.

Judging from the news from both sides before the game, Espanyol should have the main players, which may not be due to Barcelona's conspiracy theory.

Considering the Spaniards' own needs, they also have this need.

At present, they have the hope of qualifying for European competition. With seven rounds left in the league, of course they have to try to get more points. And the three-pointers at home must be obtained.

Even if they face the powerful Atletico Madrid, they will not surrender.

So in fact, some Barcelona media said that they would deliberately lose to Atletico Madrid in order to disgust their mortal enemies in the city, which is simply an insult to the Spaniards.

As for Atletico Madrid, it is quite ambiguous.

In the next big battle, will Simeone play all the main players in this game?

At least judging from the 18-man roster, both Gao Zheng and Griezmann came to Barcelona.

It's just that whether they will play in the game is hard to say.

It was not until two hours before the game started that Atletico Madrid announced their roster.

Neither Gao Zheng nor Griezmann entered!

Now everyone knows that Atletico Madrid still has to keep its strength for the next quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Manuel Blanco, who saw this lineup online, couldn't help laughing.

This is what he wants.

Simeone certainly doesn't plan to give up the Champions League, but this will inevitably affect the league.

The current lineup and roster fully demonstrate Simeone's inner ambivalence.

He wants both the Champions League and the League.

But the result of being so greedy is likely to be that both the bamboo baskets are empty, and there is no such thing as the league or the Champions League.

In Manuel Blanco's opinion, no matter how hard Simeone struggles in the Champions League, it is definitely impossible to advance.

If Simeone is smarter, he should decisively abandon the Champions League and specialize in the league, and strive to hold the league championship in his hands.

In this way, at least at the end of the season, Atletico Madrid will have a championship.

Unexpectedly, Simeone was confused at this critical moment.

Giving Barcelona a chance to complete the triple-champion in the Copa del Rey, Barcelona has eliminated Valencia with a total score of 8:1 in the semi-finals and reached the final.

Their final opponent is Sevilla Barcelona and there is a lot of hope for winning the Copa del Rey.

After regaining the initiative in the league, the league championship will be the only thing to win.

After eliminating Atletico Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals, the Champions League championship is naturally Barcelona's goal.

In this way, will it be possible to become a triple-champ after Guardiola?

The Spanish home game against Atletico Madrid attracted a lot of attention because of its complex background and particularity.

CCTV naturally also broadcast the game live.

This game kicked off at 5:15 pm local time in Spain, and Beijing time was 0:15 pm at the early morning of the next day.

Of course, this time is not as good as the golden time at ** o'clock, but it is much more suitable than other La Liga games where the kick-off is usually done at two or three o'clock.

So many Chinese fans watched this game in front of the TV.

Gao Zheng did not, which made them feel a little regretful. After all, Wu Lei did not make the "China Derby" in this game.

But when thinking about the Champions League match next week, everyone still hopes for a miracle, so Gao Zheng didn't play without playing...

Espanyol did work hard in this game. From the beginning of the game, they kept attacking Atletico Madrid's goal with cheering from home fans.

And in the 29th minute, their midfielder Diop used a corner kick to score!

"Diop!!! Oh!! He helped the Spaniard lead!" The Catalan narrator whistled excitedly. "Good! They are one step closer to the qualification for European war!"

Madrid's commentator Jose Maria was a little depressed: "It can be seen that the Atletico Madrid players' thoughts in this game are indeed not on their opponents in front of them. Although they come to Barcelona, ​​their hearts are probably staying in Madrid, waiting for the second round of the game with Barcelona..."

He said it right. Although Atletico Madrid is strong in the first thirty minutes, it is basically at a disadvantage. This can only be explained that the players are not thinking about this game. Otherwise, if Atletico Madrid performs normally, how could this happen?

He then sighed outside the microphone's radio range.

Originally, Real Madrid helped Atletico Madrid to get them back to the top of the league, but they didn't expect to encounter a crushing defeat in the Champions League again.

It is estimated that neither Simeone nor his players would have expected to lose so badly away from home. They had thought that they might lose to Barcelona away, but it was still too surprising to lose a clean 0:3.

The impact of this crushing defeat on the players is far from over.

This is reflected in this league game, Espanyol's goal.

When Diop jumped and headed the ball, there was not a single Atletico Madrid player next to him jumped and competed for the top, which made him easily scored the goal.

Chinese fans are mixed with joy and sorrow in the face of this ball.

Of course, it was because this corner kick was created by Wu Lei. He made a threatening shot in the penalty area, allowing Oblak to rattle the football out of the baseline, which made him a corner kick. Therefore, Espanyol also had a contribution from Wu Lei in this goal. Judging from the thirty minutes of the game, Wu Lei was very active and performed very well. If he could continue to perform like this, it would be considered that Espanyol had completely gained a foothold.

What is worrying is that Atletico Madrid may lose the league championship because of this. As the league dispute between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid has entered a fierce stage, and when the Catalan media continues to disgust Chinese fans, few people hope that Barcelona can win the championship. In that case, they will be like Gao Zheng, with ridicule and contempt from Barcelona. Although this is actually aimed at Gao Zheng, as Gao Zheng's fans, they are naturally one with their idols, prospering and losing.

When the Espanyol player celebrated the goal, he cut to Atletico Madrid's bench. Gao Zheng was sitting in it, covering his mouth and wondering what he was saying to Griezmann next to him.

Maybe I’m sharing my views on the game situation…

Seeing this, He Ping said, "I don't know if Simeone will send Gao Zheng on the court. If so, I don't know when he will wait until he will be allowed to play..."

With Wu Lei's physical fitness, it is impossible to play the whole game. If Gao Zheng comes on the court too late and Wu Lei has been replaced, then this "China derby" will be completely stopped.

He still had a glimmer of hope, even if he could let Gao Zheng and Wu Lei meet on the court... This matter mainly has more symbolic meaning than practical meaning.
