Four to zero!

When this score was born in Southampton's Glory Stadium, it quickly spread all over the world at an incredible speed.

Fans all over the world were shocked.

It is not surprising that Zidane's Real Madrid will lose. After all, this is the home court of Southampton.

But no one thought that Real Madrid would lose so badly and so embarrassed.

Four goals, Suarez two goals, Messi one goal, Di Maria one goal, the Saints performed well up and down.

This surprised all the fans, but at the same time they were all embarrassed.

Seeing the Saints' crazy momentum and amazing state this season, it would be difficult to stop them!

At least, after this game, Real Madrid coach Zidane said at a press conference after the game that it would be very difficult for Real Madrid to come back at home.

"This is undoubtedly a game that exceeded my expectations. We were fully prepared, but... it was a heavy blow, even on the away game, but lost such an important game in this way. , It is really unacceptable."

"Neither I nor the players will be satisfied with the result of this game, but the most important thing for us now is not to dwell on this. We need to invest in the preparations for the next game, no matter how difficult it is. , We will not give up the second round of the game."

"I can fully expect the criticisms and accusations we will face after the game, but I want to say that Real Madrid will not be easily defeated. We can always perform miracles at the Bernabeu, and I believe this time too."

When asked by media reporters whether the failure of this game was related to the formation of troops, Zidane said that he would take all the responsibilities.

"My team and I find a solution to the problem as soon as possible. In the second round of the game, avoid the same thing from happening again. In addition, I want to say that I am satisfied with the current players. I will not lose because of this game. When I doubt the team’s style of play, I will stick to this style."

For Southampton's opponent in this game, Zidane said, "The Saints are at their peak. They are making their own history. They will be a great team."

However, Zidane also said, "No matter how great a team is, it is not invincible. We have found a way to restrain the opponent. In the second round of the game, we will not let the opponent play so easily like today. ."

But no matter how tactful Zidane said in the press conference after the game, on the second day, almost all media newspapers all over the world reported on the game, without exception, almost all of them sentenced Real Madrid to death in advance.

The away game lost a zero to four. To make a comeback at home, Real Madrid would have to score four goals and ensure that Southampton could not score. This is undoubtedly difficult for Real Madrid, who performed so badly in the first leg. The matter of reaching the sky.

Even the Spanish Marca newspaper, which is close to Real Madrid, made headlines on the front page, heading the sinking of the Galaxy battleship, thinking that Real Madrid can no longer make a difference in the Champions League.

The Spanish newspaper believes that Atletico Madrid is behind the rivals of the same city in La Liga, and the Copa del Rey was eliminated early. The Champions League is the only battleground where Real Madrid can win.

However, with a zero-four loss to Southampton in the first round, Real Madrid was almost eliminated early.

The Marca newspaper also pointed out in the comments that the gap between Real Madrid and Southampton is comprehensive.

"There is no doubt that Ancelotti's tactics in this game completely suppressed Zidane. The Saints' players have crushed Real Madrid in terms of their overall strength and the overall cooperation of the team. The score of four basically represents the performance of both sides on the court."

"But this game is not a disaster. What Real Madrid should do now is to reflect. It should reflect on its operations in the past few years and plan the development direction of the team in the next few years."

The Marca newspaper also pointed out, “With the Premier League’s financial resources skyrocketing and purchasing power increased substantially, Real Madrid’s attraction to top stars has become less attractive than before. Neymar switched to Barcelona and tried every possible means to bring in Suarez and Aguero. Waiting for the superstar to be defeated is a very good proof."

"In the absence of attractiveness to top stars, what Real Madrid really should do is to be pragmatic and think seriously about how to build this team into a tight whole, instead of looking like it is now, it looks like a mess."

"Perhaps, the time has come for us to reflect on the superstar policy!"

Not only Marca, in Spain, the voice calling for Real Madrid to reflect.

After the game, Real Madrid fans protested, demanding that the club's management be responsible for this, and at the same time asking Florentino to take the blame and resign.

On the other hand, the British media gave a very high evaluation of Southampton's performance, believing that after two consecutive championships, the Saints still have no lack of ambition and are the most promising team for three consecutive championships this season.

The strength of the Saints also directly brought the respect and attention of fans all over the world to this team.

Also in the upper half, in another quarter-final knockout at the same time, Klopp's coach Inter Milan challenged Guardiola's Bayern Munich away.

This game is also another focus of attention before the game. This is also the first time Klopp has encountered Bayern Munich after leaving Dortmund.

As a result, the two sides played a two-to-two tie at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

This is what no one thought of.

Klopp’s stadium started off as the main goal, frequently using the two wings Felipe Anderson and Aubameyang to create articles, attacking Bayern Munich's two wings, two full-backs Damian and Alex San Dro also actively participated in the attack.

That is, relying on the excellent performance of the two wingers, Inter Milan in the first half relied on the goals of Morata and Aubameyang to take the lead two to zero.

But in the second half, Guardiola adjusted the team and quickly made a counterattack. Thomas Mueller and Robben scored and successfully equalized the score.

But the first leg score of two to two is a pretty good result for Inter Milan.

Klopp said with a smile after the game that the team will be waiting for Bayern Munich at Inter Milan's Glory Stadium.

This scumbag man seemed to have a winning ticket.

After the game, the German media also commented that the biggest problem for Bayern Munich is that the team has empty possession of the ball, but it cannot be turned into a threat, especially after the sale of Lewandowski, the team's two wings Robben and Li After Berry's old age, the introduction of players has not been able to meet the needs of the team.

The home game gave Inter Milan two away goals, and Bayern Munich's situation is undoubtedly quite dangerous.

But what is more dangerous is the internal conflicts from Bayern Munich.

Kicker magazine revealed that the conflict between Bayern Munich’s technical director Summerer and the current head coach Guardiola has long been known to passers-by, and the two have not even communicated with each other.

"Bayern Munich and Guardiola share a different dream. This has long been known in the German football circle. The conflict and contradiction between Summer and Guardiola are no longer a secret. There is even news that if Guardiola Bayern Munich was eliminated by Inter Milan in the Champions League. Bayern Munich does not even rule out the possibility of early dismissal of Guardiola."

"The conflict between the management and the head coach also made Bayern Munich's insiders panic and affected the team's preparations and games."

In the second half of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid defeated Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 at home. Although they gave Ligue 1 Panba an away goal, the road to promotion is undoubtedly much smoother.

Simeone’s team was quite dominant in this game. The three goals of Griezmann, Isco and Cork were impressive, and Paris Saint-Germain, whether on the scene or In the score, they are inferior to the Sheet Army.

As for Monaco and Hamburg, it ended with Monaco defeating Monaco 3-1 at home.

Tuchel’s performance in the European competition was not satisfactory. He led Mainz to participate in the Europa League two times before, but both stopped in the qualifying rounds and could not even enter the main game. This also caused Tuchel. Lack of experience in the war between Seoul and Europe.

This season, Hamburg's ability to stand out in the group stage has a lot to do with Manchester United and CSKA Moscow's own strength and sluggish performance. In the knockout round of the 16th, they encountered Anderlecht and Tuchel. The team hasn't been tested too much.

In this scene, against Ronald Koeman's Monaco, Tuchel's team steadily encountered the strength of the European quarter-finals, and lost one to three away, which is basically normal.

In the words of the German media, both Hamburg and Tuchel need to level up.

Fortunately, the overall age of Hamburg is relatively low, and Tuchel still has enough time.

It's like that Dortmund, led by Klopp, was ravaged in the first season, and the second season was directly overwhelming?

In contrast, Tuchel entered the quarter-finals in the first season of the Champions League and his performance is already very eye-catching.

Who would dare to say that Hamburg in the next season cannot continue to perform on this basis?

Ronald Koeman's Monaco's performance this season is indeed quite solid.

The offensive end introduced the team's Mexican forward Hernandez, who played an amazing scoring momentum as soon as he joined the team and did not lose to the team's top center Mitrovic at all.

After introducing Schneiderlin and Wanyama in the midfield, the strength of the entire midfield is better than before.

Koeman's excellent training ability and rich experience in European wars have allowed Monaco to steadily play its own strength in the European arena ~www.readwn.com~ In the French League, it also firmly pressed Paris Saint-Germain.

What’s more rare is that while Koeman achieved outstanding results, he also trained Kondobia, Zuma, Makinos, Kurzawa, Mitrovic, Tovan and Fekir by the way. Waiting for the stars.

Carrasco has also emerged this season as an excellent winger, Monaco's star-making ability is eye-catching.

Originally, many French media were expecting that if Paris Saint-Germain could beat Atletico Madrid, Monaco could beat Hamburg, and the Ligue 1 duo would compete in the Champions League semi-finals.

But as soon as the first round of the quarter-final knockout round is over, Monaco has a chance to enter the semi-finals, but Paris Saint-Germain is probably out of play.

With the fresh release of the first round of the Champions League knockout round, major bookmakers have adjusted their odds one after another, and fans all over the world are also happy and worried.

It should be said that, compared with the balance of the other three games, the big score victory over Real Madrid made the Saints somewhat stand out from the crowd. This also made fans and media reporters all over the world once again exclaimed that there should be a team standing. Come out to snipe the saints, otherwise, the game will completely become a personal show of the saints.
