Soccer: Maxed-out ball control, the skill is too overpowered.

3-1

When the 95 minutes of the match ended, the score was final.

Messi glanced back at the scoreboard, then turned and walked straight toward the players' tunnel.

The entire Atlético Madrid squad huddled together to celebrate this hard-won victory.

"What was the key to today's home victory?"

"The key? That's definitely Lou! He's a god!" Saul exclaimed excitedly in front of the camera.

Antoine Griezmann, who was passing by, was stopped by a reporter.

"Why do you think we were able to beat Barcelona today and take the initiative in the semi-finals?"

"That goes without saying, it's because of our teammates. As long as Lue plays, we have no reason to lose."

Griezmann was smiling broadly.

If at the beginning of the season, Griezmann still had the mind to compete with Lu Xiao for a key position at Atletico Madrid...

Who would compete with Lu Xiao now?

Wouldn't it be better to just cling to Lu Xiao's coattails?

Griezmann genuinely admired this Asian man who was six years younger than him.

"How do you feel about beating Barcelona today?"

"I think Barcelona is a respectable opponent. They have a high possession rate and put a lot of pressure on us. The MSN trio makes it very difficult for their teammates to defend in the backfield. I myself have to actively track back to defend."

Torres's interview was normal.

"To be honest, for a while I almost thought we were going to lose. Barcelona was on the verge of equalizing or even taking the lead..."

"But Lu stepped up in crucial moments. Just like he led Leverkusen to victory in the previous two seasons, he is always a reliable and dependable absolute superstar."

Torres smiled from the bottom of his heart.

If Lu can stay at Atletico Madrid, I believe that after he retires, Atletico Madrid will definitely become a world-class powerhouse!

Post-match press conference

Both the Atletico Madrid coach and the Barcelona coach spoke highly of Lu Xiao.

Enrique wore a wry smile on his face at the podium:

"To be fair, the kids played very hard today, and they did their best."

But the opposing player's number 10 had three perfect chances, which was astonishing.

It's hard to imagine how he managed to deliver that assist.

It's hard to imagine how he single-handedly destroyed the entire defensive line.

He is definitely the person I have ever met with the strongest learning and progressing ability...

Enrique hesitated, then swallowed his words.

Because the second half of the sentence is that even someone as strong as Messi cannot compare to Lu Xiao's rate of progress.

If Messi is a once-in-a-century genius,

Lu Xiao can only be considered... a monster.

Yes.

Assuming Bartomeu doesn't sack him this season, Enrique won't want to coach Barcelona anymore.

Let whoever wants to mess with Lu Xiao go ahead, I'm not playing along!

If you can't beat them, can't you at least avoid them?

Unless Barcelona can sign Lu Xiao.

On the other side, Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone was all smiles, unable to stop grinning.

Barcelona, ​​who once dominated La Liga, were repeatedly thrashed by Atletico Madrid.

"Lu's performance today was surprising. His long passes and off-the-ball movement have improved rapidly, far beyond what they were half a season ago."

As a coach, I feel very fortunate to have encountered players like this.

Our tactics will be more diverse, making them more difficult for our opponents to counter.

A player like Lu is absolutely phenomenal!

Facing a Barcelona team in full form, he dominated the game with 2 goals and 1 assist!

Who else?

In the past, Simeone wouldn't have dared to dream of winning the title; reaching the Champions League semi-finals was already an achievement beyond expectations.

As for now...

Plans have changed; we're now focused on winning!

……

"So, what do you think?"

"What are you looking at?"

"The other side of the game."

"..."

"Keep your voice down, don't bring up such unpleasant topics. Look at his expression..."

Madrid, the canteen at the Castilla training base.

The following morning, Real Madrid stars arrived at the training ground in their luxury cars.

After having breakfast in the cafeteria

A new day of training is about to begin.

Modric, Toni Kroos, Gareth Bale, and others wanted to discuss last night's game.

But Marcelo stopped him.

Marcelo gave a wink and looked at Cristiano Ronaldo, the leader, who was not far away.

Cristiano Ronaldo, wearing AirPods and immersed in his music, probably couldn't hear the whispers around him.

But what if?

Marcelo wouldn't dare mention two names in front of Ronaldo: Messi and Lu Xiao.

Marcelo watched the entire match last night.

My feelings can be summed up in two words: I was completely panicked!

The first leg between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich

Real Madrid defeated Bayern Munich 1-0 at home.

What was expected to be an easy and dominant match turned out to be quite difficult for Real Madrid.

Many Real Madrid players seemed quite happy after the match.

Marcelo took a photo and posted it on Instagram, which received thousands of likes, making Marcelo look incredibly beautiful.

After watching Atletico Madrid vs. Barcelona, ​​Marcelo couldn't laugh.

Ordinary people might just be watching the game for fun.

But those in the know can see the tricks of the trade.

Barcelona's level is high enough; they already possess the dominance of their peak period from 2009 to 2011. Their passing and organization prevent opponents from touching the ball, maintaining absolute pressure.

If it were Real Madrid now, they would probably have to use 110% of their strength to beat Barcelona.

but!

Atletico Madrid won very easily, a clean 3-1 victory.

Look at them, they've pushed Barcelona to their limits, Messi is practically on fire.

Can't we even win this?

Marcelo himself was very upset, let alone Cristiano Ronaldo, who was bursting with competitive spirit.

"But... we still have to face them."

Modric shrugged.

As Real Madrid's mastermind, Modric remained calm.

He remains confident in Real Madrid's current fighting strength.

The attacking trio of BBC was unstoppable, the midfield trio was rock solid, and the defense was full of fighting spirit and discipline...

Real Madrid has no reason to be afraid of anyone.

"If it were us, how would we have dealt with Lu's three attacks?"

Marcelo was just one question that left Modric, Kroos, and Bale speechless.

Yes.

If Barcelona can't stop Lu Xiao, then Real Madrid can't either.

However, if they face Atletico Madrid in the final...

Is it possible that the previous encounters will repeat themselves?

Both sides are going head-to-head; who can out-attack Lu Xiao, Griezmann, and Torres?

Bell wanted to say something more.

I'm currently at my peak; my absolute speed can destroy any defense...

But when I think about Lu Xiao's perverted behavior last night...

Bell was starting to waver.

While the Real Madrid players were whispering amongst themselves, little did they know that Ronaldo in front of them had no music in his headphones.

He overheard every single word of his teammates' chat.

But Ronaldo used to be able to inspire his teammates.

I don't know what to say now.

Messi's morale was shattered, so what can I do?

"Damn it!"

Cristiano Ronaldo cursed under his breath.

I don't know if he was cursing that Asian kid or cursing himself for not being strong enough.

……

The last "El Clásico 2.0" was such a huge shock.

So much so that Atletico Madrid's 3-1 victory over Barcelona wasn't exciting enough anymore.

The discussions in the news media and among netizens were quite normal.

There weren't many novel viewpoints.

Everyone is waiting for the second leg, wondering if Barcelona can come back from a 1-3 deficit if it's played at Camp Nou.

To quote Deco, the former Barcelona midfielder and Portuguese legend, from a tweet:

"Barcelona's second leg will probably be their toughest match of the season. They will only win if they can replicate last year's semi-final situation."

Deco alluded to last year's "Camp Nou tragedy,"

Barcelona were almost blatantly favored by the referee and still failed to defeat Bayer Leverkusen, led by Lu Xiao.

If the referees don't step up their game this year, Barcelona is in serious trouble.
