In the end, Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 at home to take the lead, but there is still suspense for the two teams to advance.
Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid,Carlo Ancelotti lined up a 442 formation, Mbappe and Vinicius partnered as a double striker, Rodrygo, Tchouameni, Camavinga, and Dias formed four midfielders, Valverde, Raul Asensio, Rudiger, and Mendy formed a back four, and Courtois was in goal, with a starting value of 860 million euros;Simeone also lined up in a 442 formation, with Griezmann and Alvarez partnering as two strikers, Lino, Barrios, De Paul, and Simeone Jr. forming four midfielders, Garland, Lenglet, Gimenez, and Llorente forming a back four, and Oblak in goal, with a starting value of 299 million euros。
This campaign is a milestone for Real Madrid's 500th Champions League appearance, and Real Madrid still have the advantage at home, with more possession and more shots on goal. Real Madrid's problem is that the form of the two strikers is sluggish, Vinicius has lost his shooting boots, and Mbappe has lost his last two games. Fortunately, another Yiou striker, Rodrygo, cut inside on the right side and scored with his left foot, I have to say that this goal is very beautiful, and Valverde, who played as a guest at right-back, is really an all-round warrior, and this De Bruyne-like through ball is sharp enough.
Atletico came out on the back of the line, with the little spider cutting inside on the left and slicing past Camavinga to equalise. Atletico's tactical style of play is mainly defensive, so Alvarez has not received more support, which is also the biggest problem for Simeone's tactical upgrade, defense > attack. The goal for Real Madrid to take the lead again came from Dias, who scored with a low shot after a butterfly through the penalty area, which was also very exciting, and Dias also scored in consecutive games, and his form was getting better. In the stoppage time of this campaign, Mbappe missed the opportunity, Real Madrid missed the third goal of the game, and finally Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid 2-1 at home.
Full game,Real Madrid managed 51% possession and both teams were close to five-to-five, with Real Madrid having a total of 13 shots on goal with 7 of them on target; Atletico had a total of 6 shots on goal with 2 of them on target。
