Bundesliga round 33.
Since Hamburg won the championship two rounds in advance, the championship lost its suspense, but the battle for relegation and the top four in the league is still fierce.
In the relegation zone, Braunschweig, which is first from last, has been relegated early, and Nuremberg, which is second from last, is 6 points behind Stuttgart, which is third from last, and has a goal difference of 17 points less. It is basically hopeless. .
Therefore, the remaining teams still in the relegation zone have to "compete" for the last, which is the third-to-last spot.
Although the third-to-last team has to play a play-off with the third-tier Bundesliga team to decide whether they can stay in the Bundesliga, who dares to take this risk?
Of course, get ashore as soon as you can!
Then the place became lively.
Stuttgart is ranked 16th in the standings with 32 points, and above it, there are four teams with 36 points, namely Frankfurt, Freiburg, Hannover 96, and Werder Bremen.
In other words, these five teams have a chance to qualify for the relegation play-offs.
Don't look at the fact that the other four teams are 4 points higher than Stuttgart, but there are still two games left. With such fierce competition, anything can happen.
For example, in Frankfurt, where he first played, he lost 0:2 at home to Leverkusen!
Freiburg then lost to Schalke 04 by the same score.
Although these relegation teams have high fighting spirit, their opponents are all teams that are working hard to qualify for the European competition. They not only have fighting spirit, but also have stronger combat effectiveness!
But the last game of this round brought an early end to this season's relegation battle.
Stuttgart lost to Wolfsburg 1:2. This result also allowed them to lock in the third from the bottom.
In these head-to-head confrontations between the relegation teams and the European teams, the European teams achieved a comprehensive victory!
After all, they are still the stronger side.
With this key victory, Schalke 04 also continued to maintain a 3-point advantage over Leverkusen and ranked fourth. As long as they do not lose in the final round, they can qualify for the Champions League next season.
If all goes well, they will join Hamburg, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund in next season's Champions League.
There is a high probability that Leverkusen will participate in the Europa League next season with Wolfsburg.
…
Hamburg faces Bayern Munich at home in this round.
This should have been a Bundesliga championship showdown that attracted thousands of people's attention, but now it has been reduced to a "friendly match".
Since this will be Hamburg's last home game of the season, the German Football Association also held a formal award ceremony for Hamburg at the People's Park Stadium before the game started.
Hamburg's captain Westermann took the stage to receive the Bundesliga championship trophy on behalf of the team.
All the Hamburg fans cheered for him, and the atmosphere in the stadium was warm but restrained.
After all, they have already celebrated once, and everyone has heard what Pan Yi said, they will not start the real celebration until they win the Triple Crown!
Before the game officially started, both sides were in harmony.
Bayern Munich's head coach Guardiola had already "admitted defeat". When he came to the People's Park Stadium today, he grabbed Pan Yi and the two sides had another long cordial conversation.
In this conversation, Guardiola was talking most of the time, and Pan Yi just listened with a smile.
Conversations include but are not limited to:
"I watched the two games you played against Atletico Madrid. It seemed that you used my advice to play in the first game, but what can I say about the second game? I really didn't expect that your defensive counterattack was so good. Better than Simeone!"
"Aren't you going to fight Klopp again in the German Cup final? How are you going to fight? You don't need me to help you this time. I think you already have an idea in mind!"
"Actually, I prefer to play against a team like Dortmund, just attack each other. You should teach me how to deal with a strong team that focuses on defense sometime, right? It's really difficult to face such a team. It’s such a headache.”
"You're talking about the two games we played against Real Madrid? Well, don't mention it. I was blown away by An Pang... Their BBC combination is indeed too strong! And their counterattack is sharper than Atletico Madrid!"
"By the way, do you want to get first-hand information about Real Madrid? I can give it to you, but you have to treat me to a good meal again. As promised, we can't go to any ramen restaurants anymore!..."
The two head coaches are like this, and the players of the two teams are harmonious on the court.
Hamburg has already won the championship in advance. Son Heung-min and De Bruyne are also absent due to injuries. Pan Yi sent a lineup mainly composed of rotation players to play.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, has no intention of playing after losing all three fronts, and has recruited many young players for training.
Such as Lucas Ryder, Mitchell Weitzel, Hojbjerg, etc.
The two sides ended up in a draw, with Westerman and Shaqiri scoring one goal each for their teams.
…
Valencia Mestalla Stadium.
Held here tonight is the final of the Copa del Rey of the 2013-2014 season.
The two sides facing each other are Real Madrid and Barcelona. This is another Spanish El Clasico!
Before this game, in the official El Clasico match, Real Madrid and Barcelona faced off 226 times, with Real Madrid having the upper hand with 90 wins, 48 draws and 88 losses;
If informal games are included, El Clasico has been played a total of 259 times, with Real Madrid at a disadvantage with 94 wins, 58 draws and 107 losses.
But in general, it can still be described in one word: equally matched!
Judging from the results this season, the two teams have also formed a tendency to pull each other.
Their current rankings in the league are second and third respectively.
Ranked first is none other than Atletico Madrid, which was just eliminated by Hamburg in the Champions League semifinals!
After 37 rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid no longer have any hope of winning the championship. They are already 5 points behind Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona is 3 points behind Atletico Madrid, but they still have a chance.
Because in the last round, the two teams will face off head-to-head. If Barcelona can defeat Atletico Madrid, it can still come back and win the championship!
It can be said that the last round is the final of this season's La Liga, and Barcelona is one of the finalists.
As for Real Madrid, although the league was hopeless, they were unstoppable in the Champions League semi-finals, sweeping Bayern Munich with a total score of 5:0. They also reached the final and had great hopes of winning the championship.
Barcelona can't do it in the Champions League.
They were suppressed by Hamburg in the group stage, eliminated by Paris after qualifying, and did not even advance to the quarterfinals.
Therefore, the two teams have reached the finals of both major competitions, and now they are going to face each other head-on in the King's Cup final. You can imagine how much they want to win against their opponents.
But neither side could field their strongest lineup in this game.
On Real Madrid's side, Cristiano Ronaldo had a slight injury. To be on the safe side, Ancelotti asked the Portuguese superstar to rest in the stands.
On Barcelona's side, Pique was absent due to injury, and Pinto was still used as the goalkeeper.
But after all, both teams are the world's top clubs, and their starting lineups are still star-studded.
Both teams set up the current "standard formation for giants", the 433 formation.
Real Madrid:
Forwards: Isco, Benzema, Bale.
Midfielder: Alonso, Di Maria, Modric.
Defenders: Coentrao, Ramos, Pepe, Nacho.
Goalkeeper: Casillas.
Barcelona:
Forwards: Neymar, Cesc Fabregas, Messi.
Midfielder: Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta.
Defenders: Alba, Bartra, Mascherano, Alves.
Goalkeeper: Pinto.
After the opening, Barcelona had a certain psychological advantage because they defeated Real Madrid 2:1 and 4:3 in the two league matches this season, so they attacked more fiercely.
But Real Madrid was not to be outdone at all. They also regarded this game as a battle to avenge their league defeat, so they played particularly hard.
The two sides immediately started a fierce fight, with constant collisions.
After all, it is a Spanish El Clasico, there is no testing at all!
Only 3 minutes into the game, Isco kicked Neymar down and received a yellow card.
Two minutes later, Isco made a direct pass, and Bell broke into the penalty area with his left rib and shot with his left foot and missed the far post.
Then Benzema passed the ball and Bell's right-footed shot from 11 meters was resolved.
In the face of Barcelona's passing and control, Real Madrid's defensive counterattack formation today seems more threatening!
As a result, Real Madrid took the lead in the 11th minute!
Real Madrid made a series of passes in the midfield. Benzema picked up the pass. Di Maria's left-footed shot from 11 meters passed through Alba's wicket and flew to the far corner. Pinto pounced on the ball but failed to prevent the ball from entering the net. 1 :0!
This goal also made the atmosphere on the field more tense.
In the 16th minute, Neymar fell to the ground in the penalty area. Ramos pushed Neymar. Pepe and Coentrao were also involved, and a conflict broke out between the two sides.
In the end, the referee showed Pepe and Neymar a yellow card each to calm the incident.
Then the two sides attacked and defended each other, fighting back and forth.
In the 34th minute, Alves took a tactical corner kick from the right, and Messi's low shot with his left foot in front of the penalty area on the right was blocked.
In the 42nd minute, Iniesta broke into the penalty area and passed the ball. Fabregas made a low pass from the left. Ramos extended his foot to make a clearance. Messi's left-footed volley from 16 meters went slightly wide.
One minute later, Messi stopped the ball at the bottom line of the penalty area and lost the ball under the defense of Pepe and Ramos. The Argentine asked the referee for a penalty kick but failed.
In the 45th minute, Di Maria made a low pass from the right, but Benzema's push shot from 12 meters failed to hit the target.
At halftime, Real Madrid led 1:0.
After changing sides in the second half, Barcelona immediately made adjustments and replaced Alba with Adriano.
The competition is still exciting and intense.
In the 48th minute, Pepe and Nacho intercepted the ball from Xiaofa. Nacho passed the ball and Bell drove straight in from 12 meters and missed the low shot with his left foot.
In the 53rd minute, Pepe broke through with the ball and was knocked over by Mascherano, who received a yellow card.
In the 55th minute, Busquets' header was not far away, and Bell volleyed with his left foot from 18 meters.
In the 60th minute, Barcelona continued to adjust and replaced Fabio with Pedro.
2 minutes later, Di Maria took a corner kick, and Benzema rushed to the top and was caught by Pinto.
In the 65th minute, Bartra broke out of the defense and volleyed with his right foot from 26 meters away. Casillas lifted the ball over the crossbar. Real Madrid counterattacked, and Benzema's left-footed low shot from 9 meters near the post was blocked by Pinto and fell to the ground. Di Maria took a corner kick, and Bell scored but was called for a collision with the goalkeeper.
In the 68th minute, Barcelona finally equalized the score!
Harvey took a corner kick from the left, and Bartra headed the ball into the upper right corner from 10 meters away. Cassie was beyond his reach, 1:1! Bartra celebrated by kissing the Barcelona crest.
In the 72nd minute, Bell broke into the penalty area from the left and shot with his left foot. Pinto saved the ball.
In the 77th minute, Ramos reached out to pull up the fallen Alves, but the latter refused.
In the 81st minute, Di Maria made a cross, and Modric's right-footed shot from 23 meters missed the post and rolled out of the baseline.
In the 85th minute, a famous scene appeared!
Coentrao passed the ball from the left, and Bell overtook Bartra from the outside. He shot low with his left foot from 6 meters and succeeded at the near post, 2:1!
"Bell passed the ball to himself three seconds later", helping Real Madrid take the lead. This was also Bell's 20th goal this season.
Barcelona almost equalized in the 90th minute. Xavi passed the ball with his heel. Neymar hit the post with his right foot and Cassie held the ball.
But in the end, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona and won the Copa del Rey this season!
At the post-match press conference, Ancelotti said that although Real Madrid lost the league title this season, it still took the Copa del Rey title from Barcelona.
He also believes that Real Madrid can also win the Champions League final to be held soon and complete this pretty good season with a double crown!
"I know that Hamburg have won the Bundesliga title ahead of schedule. They have also entered the German Cup final and the Champions League final. They even have a chance to win the treble of the season."
"But it's a pity that I can only congratulate them in advance for winning the German domestic double. Because they will face a better Real Madrid in the Champions League final."
"Cristiano Ronaldo is recovering well from his injury, and he will definitely return in the Champions League final. By then I doubt whether Hamburg's defense can withstand the attacks of Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale."
"By the way, talking about Bale, you all saw that goal, right? Oh my god! At that moment, I thought of Bolt!"
At the end of the sentence, Ancelotti also made the famous eyebrow expression: o_
In fact, as a well-known good man, Ancelotti rarely says offensive words when facing reporters.
But now he is under a lot of pressure.
Losing the league title early is difficult to accept in the hearts of Real Madrid fans.
Although he won the Copa del Rey today, Ancelotti knew that only by winning the Champions League could he truly consolidate his position in the hearts of Real Madrid executives and Real Madrid fans!
Therefore, he has expressed his determination in advance, that is, to win Hamburg and bring the Champions League trophy back to Madrid!
In addition to Ancelotti, both Cristiano Ronaldo, Bale, Ramos, Pepe and other Real Madrid players have also publicly expressed their longing and expectations for the Champions League final.
They all want to win this Champions League title!
After all, although Real Madrid has always topped the Champions League championship list with nine championships, the last time they won it was more than ten years ago.
It was in the distant 2001-2002 season, at Hampden Park Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland, Real Madrid defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2:1, and Zidane performed a great performance.
Therefore, in order to win the tenth Champions League in team history, the slogan of "perfection" is very consistent at Real Madrid.
They are also determined to win this final!
Today's victory over Barcelona to win the Copa del Rey really gave them a lot of confidence, and Real Madrid's greater source of confidence was their complete victory over Bayern in the semi-finals.
A score of 4:0 in a single game. Who in recent years can give such humiliation to the Bundesliga overlord?
Spanish domestic media also believe that Real Madrid is very likely to continue to defeat Hamburg, another Bundesliga team, in the Champions League final and realize its dream of ten Champions Leagues.
However, "Aspen", the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, also reminded that "Hamburg is actually not easy to deal with."
Atletico Madrid, which currently has a good chance of winning the La Liga title, was double beaten by Hamburg.
Along the way, Hamburg defeated strong teams such as Barcelona and Manchester City (not mentioning Manchester United). These records illustrate their strength.
In Germany, Hamburg also beat Bayern Munich and won the Bundesliga championship two rounds ahead of schedule.
"This is actually a clash between two teams that can also beat the previous champion Bayern."
"As the strongest and almost invincible Cosmos team in the past year or two, Bayern can be regarded as a reliable touchstone."
"Therefore, this year's Champions League final is a true championship showdown, a contest between the two strongest teams!"
"Once a game reaches this level, there are many factors that affect the outcome of the game, which requires coaches from both sides to make more careful arrangements..."
…
Pan Yi naturally watched the Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
This can be regarded as a wonderful game worth remembering in the history of Spanish El Clasico. Coupled with Bell's overtaking goal, Pan Yi certainly wouldn't mind enjoying it again.
Of course, his more important purpose is to study Real Madrid's recent games and see how Ancelotti's tactics are arranged.
But for now, we are still just scratching the surface, because this Champions League final will be the final game of the entire 2013-2014 European football season. Before that, Hamburg still has a Bundesliga and German Cup game to play.
After these two games were played, Pan Yi had time to study the tactical information about Ancelotti in the system, and combined with this Spanish El Clasico to come up with the best response plan.
…
May 10th, the 34th round of the Bundesliga, which is the final round.
Hamburg faced Augsburg away from home.
Although it has nothing to do with the championship, Pan Yi still sent all the main players in this game.
Of course, except for the injured De Bruyne and Son Heung-min.
That's because, after the Bundesliga ends, the German Cup final will not be held until May 18, and then the Champions League final will be held another week later on May 26.
Therefore, in this case, it is the most correct choice to let the main force play the game to maintain their condition.
Augsburg, who had no hope of European war and no worries about relegation, played more relaxedly, but actually performed at a good level.
Altintop's goals in the 7th and 32nd minutes actually gave the home team a two-goal lead over Hamburg in the first half!
Pan Yi gave the players a long lecture at halftime, and it worked.
After the start of the second half, the spirit of the Hamburg generals took on a new look and they began to counterattack.
Wu Lei scored twice in the 47th and 67th minutes, and Vardy also scored twice.
In the end, Hamburg came back and defeated Augsburg 4:2, successfully completing all Bundesliga games this season.
Since the teams in the relegation zone have been fixed, the middle and lower reaches teams obviously lacked fighting spirit in the final round, while the strong teams won one after another.
Bayern Munich 1:0 Stuttgart.
Schalke 04 defeated Nuremberg 4:1.
Leverkusen 2:1 Werder Bremen.
Dortmund defeated Hertha Berlin 4:0.
This also resulted in no change in the final Bundesliga standings.
Hamburg won the championship with 29 wins, 5 draws and 92 points.
Bayern finished second with 27 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, accumulating 85 points.
The points gap between the two was finally settled at 7 points.
The score difference is even greater later.
In third place, Dortmund has 22 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses with 71 points.
In fourth place, Schalke 04 has only 19 wins, 7 draws and 8 losses, with 64 points.
These four teams have also qualified for next season's Champions League.
Leverkusen, ranked fifth, has 19 wins, 4 draws, 11 losses and 61 points, while Wolfsburg, ranked sixth, has 18 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses, with 60 points. The two teams will participate in the Europa League.
And since this season's German Cup final will be played between Hamburg and Dortmund, they have already qualified for the Champions League, so the German Cup champion's European war quota has also been postponed to seventh place.
In this way, Monchengladbach, ranked seventh, also squeezed into the last train of the Europa League with 16 wins, 7 draws, 11 losses and 55 points.
In the relegation zone, of course, Nuremberg and Braunschweig will fly to the Bundesliga 2 together, while Stuttgart will have to play two rounds of home and away games with Fürth, the third place in the Bundesliga 2 this season, to decide who will participate in the next season. Bundesliga match!
…
Hamburg defeated Augsburg. The victory itself was nothing special, but it helped Pan Yi create two new Bundesliga records.
First of all, Hamburg won the championship with an unbeaten record of 29 wins and 5 draws!
This is the first time since the inception of the Bundesliga that a team has remained unbeaten for an entire season!
This is undoubtedly a very difficult record, because even if you look at the five major leagues, only two teams can achieve this.
The first team was AC Milan in Serie A in 1991-1992.
That AC Milan team was full of superstars. In addition to the famous Dutch three Musketeers of Van Basten, Ruud Gullit, and Frank Rijkaard, there were also stars such as Costacurta and Maldini. Current Real Madrid coach Ancelo Dee is also in the lineup.
In the end, AC Milan won the championship with 22 wins, 12 draws and 56 points.
The second team is Arsenal in the 2003-2004 Premier League.
Arsenal was also strong that season. Henry, Bergkamp, Ashley Cole, Vieira and others also performed well. Coupled with the strategizing of head coach Wenger, Arsenal finally won 26 games and 12 games. With a flat unbeaten record, they won the championship with 90 points, 11 points ahead of second-placed Chelsea.
So Hamburg is the third team in the five major leagues to achieve this goal!
And their points are higher than AC Milan and Arsenal.
This result of 29 wins, 5 draws and 92 points also broke Bayern's highest season points record set in the 2012-2013 season.
Last season, Bayern achieved a record of 29 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss and 91 points. This season, Hamburg is exactly 1 point higher than Bayern!
In fact, if you include the normal timeline before Pan Yi crossed over, when Bayern won ten consecutive Bundesliga titles, they failed to exceed this point again and failed to achieve an unbeaten season.
These two records also show Hamburg's absolute dominance of the Bundesliga this season!
