Chapter 380 Ferocious Germans

For Guardiola, the head coach from Spain, the La Liga team is like his nemesis. I wonder if it is because he is too familiar with them when coaching in Spain, which makes him unable to play in the face of such an opponent. In the 2013-2014 season, his team was eliminated by Real Madrid in the semi-finals. Last season, he was also eliminated by his old club Barcelona in the semi-finals... This time, he unfortunately met the La Liga team, Atletico Madrid, and lost 0:1 in the first leg. Is this score familiar? Two years ago, Bayern Munich was beaten to this score by another Madrid team, and everyone knows what happened next... We hope Bayern Munich can break the 'La Liga curse' this time..."

Before the competition began, hosts and commentators in the studio behind German TV station were commenting and looking forward to the upcoming competition.

"In fact, Bayern Munich's advantage at home is still very large..." said the commentator, who was responsible for reassuring the Bayern Munich fans. "They have maintained eleven consecutive home wins in the Champions League, scoring forty-one goals and conceded only six goals. This performance is amazing. The last time they lost at home or the one they lost to Real Madrid, but then Bayern Munich's home court has become an impeccable castle... In addition to the Champions League, in various competitions, Guardiola's team has also won 23 games in the last twenty-four home games, including sixteen of which were clean. If they can continue this performance and win Atletico Madrid cleanly, there will be great hope of advancing to the final."

"And in terms of Champions League experience, Bayern Munich's players are richer than Atletico Madrid players. Atletico Madrid's starting lineup has only 277 Champions League experience, which is far less than our 697 games..."

German TV stations are trying hard to breastfeed Bayern Munich, while Spain is breastfeeding Atletico Madrid.

"Central defender Godin returned from injury, this is the best news. Atletico Madrid has only conceded two goals in the seven Champions League games in which he and Jimenez started. Their iron gate can effectively help the team." Jose Maria introduced. "In addition, according to statistics, twenty teams that had won 1-0 home in the first leg of the Champions League knockout stage have advanced, with a probability of as high as 69%. Atletico Madrid has only conceded five goals in 20 Champions League games. In the last five Champions League knockout stages, they have four clean opponents - except for the away game losing to Barcelona..."

Since everyone thinks that numbers will not lie, then list various numbers to enhance your confidence and persuasion.

But football is not a simple number game. You cannot think that Atletico Madrid will advance to the final just because the probability of a team that advances 1:0 in the first leg is nearly 70%.

It is not possible to think that they will win the twelfth home game just because Bayern Munich has maintained a complete victory in the last eleven Champions League home games. Besides, even if they win this game, they may not be able to advance...

For example, Bayern Munich defeated Atletico Madrid 3:2, with a total score of 3:3. Atletico Madrid can still advance because of the advantage of away goals.

Football is so charming and full of uncertainty because it has so much data that it cannot control.

※※※

After the game started, it was almost exactly the same as the first round of both sides. Atletico Madrid was very proactive, and they were the ones who threatened the opponent's goal first.

Gabi's two consecutive long shots hit the goal frame, forcing Neuer to make a save.

However, the fierce attack after Atletico Madrid's opening did not disrupt Bayern Munich's rhythm.

Then they quickly launched a counterattack, Douglas Costa passed the ball inverted triangle on the right, and Vidal shot with a strong shot in front of the goal, and the quality of the shot was very high.

However, Oblak performed well and directly grabbed the powerful shot with both hands, not giving Bayern Munich players any chance to shoot.

The most threatening attack in the game was created by Bayern Munich.

In the 20th minute, central defender Boateng pressed the ball to the midfield and passed the Atletico Madrid defense line. Thomas Mueller successfully counterattacked, but he did not shoot directly, but knocked the football to Lewandowski!

"Opportunity!!!" German commentator Marcel Lef, "Lewandowski--!!!"

The Allianz Stadium was filled with huge cheers.

Amid the cheers, Lewandowski strode to catch up with the football, and Oblak quickly moved closer and blocked his shooting angle.

Lewandowski finally caught up with football, but the angle was already very small.

He didn't have time to adjust, nor did he adjust, so he just kicked and shot!

The football was rubbed by goalkeeper Oblak's foot, deviated from the track, bounced out of the penalty area, and then kicked out by Gabi's big foot on the penalty area line!

"Ahhhhhhh! It's a pity!!" Marcel Lef held his head with his hands. "Lewandowski missed the opportunity to equalize the overall score! But his angle was really too small when he shot... In fact, Muller could shoot by himself just now, so there was no need to pass it to Lewandowski..."

Although Lewandowski failed to enter the ball, it ignited the atmosphere on the scene. Bayern Munich fans in the stands of the Allianz Stadium kept singing and jumping, slapping the seawall repeatedly like huge red waves, as if they could break the embankment and pour in at any time, flooding everything.

The performance of Bayern Munich fans also inspired the fighting spirit of Bayern Munich players.

Four minutes later, Ribery volleyed at a volley twenty-eight meters away from the goal!

He pulled out a leaf-falling ball, causing Oblak to make a mistake in his judgment and failed to hold the ball. The ball fell out after his injury!

Lewandowski, who was ambushing in the penalty area, rushed out in time and rushed towards the football.

Fortunately, Aubrak's second reaction was fast enough to block it immediately.

Under his interference, Lewandowski kicked the football away with one kick and then fell to the ground.

His fall touched the nerves of Bayern Munich players and fans. Several arms were raised at the same time on the court, and there were many such arms in the stands, densely packed like a forest!

They are all complaining to the referee Güneit Chakir from Turkey - Oblak must have tripped Lewandowski, otherwise the Polish center would fall to the ground?!

However, slow motion shows that Oblak did not meet Lewandowski, nor even football, which means it is not just a penalty kick, but Bayern Munich has no chance to have a corner kick.

Lewandowski lost his balance after shooting, and fell to the ground after losing his balance...

Although this goal was not scored, Bayern Munich threatened Atletico Madrid's goal in a short period of time, which actually sounded the alarm bell for Atletico Madrid.
Chapter completed!
