Atletico Madrid, which has maintained a winning streak since the start of the league, finally ushered in its first defeat in the sixth round of the league on September 26.

They lost to Villarreal 0:1 away.

Of course, the defeat of this game is justifiable. Because Simone made a significant rotation adjustment to the lineup.

Players such as Gao Zheng and Gretzman did not appear in the starting lineup.

This is because the next week, Atletico Madrid will usher in a match against Benfica, which is the strongest team in this group except for them.

After playing against Benfica, the next step is Madrid's derby.

Although Atlético Madrid had the advantage in the match against Real Madrid last season, this does not mean that Atlético Madrid can still easily beat Real Madrid in the new season.

Any derby needs to be taken seriously.

With these two games in the back, the game against Villarreal is not so important.

Moreover, in this match Atletico Madrid will not be wronged even if they lose to Villarreal. So far this season, Villarreal has remained undefeated. Like Real Madrid and Vigo Celta, they are the only three undefeated teams.

But they are different from those two teams. Although Real Madrid and Vigo Celta are undefeated, they have four wins and two draws. Villarreal has five wins and one draw.

So after defeating Atletico Madrid, they even surpassed the 15 points of Atletico Madrid, with 16 points for the league first!

Although everyone knows that it is almost impossible for this team to win the league championship, now ranking first in the league does not mean that it can still be in this position at the end of the league. But for the "yellow submarine

"For the occasion, being able to surface and sit in the first place in the league is enough to make their supporters happy.

Atletico Madrid, after losing to Villarreal, scored 15 points with Barcelona, ​​ranking second.

The league is still very long, and losing a game does not mean fatal.

After playing against Villarreal, Atletico Madrid welcomed Portuguese giant Benfica at home.

Facts have proved that Simone in the Villarreal game, it is correct to lose the game and have to rotate.

Because although Atlético Madrid is home, Benfica is very tenacious.

Despite the opening 23 minutes, Correa opened the first record for Atletico Madrid.

But in thirty-seven minutes, Nicholas Gaitan equalized for Benfica.

Subsequently, the Benfica's No. 10 player was very active and threatened Atletico Madrid's defense many times.

In the fifty-first minute, he assisted teammate Geddes to break the goal and once again broke the goal of Atletico Madrid.

When Benfica players celebrated their second goal at Calderon Stadium, the scene fell into an awkward silence.

This is the home of Atletico Madrid!

No one expected that Atletico Madrid fell behind their opponents by 1:2 at home.

Even if Benfica is the team that removes Atletico Madrid's strongest team, it is also under the premise of "excluding Atletico Madrid". As a result, this Fika is going to pull Atletico Madrid from the throne at home?

Fortunately, Atletico Madrid and Gao Zheng.

In the 77th minute, Gao Zheng finally equalized for Atletico Madrid.

His direct free kick broke the net and the atmosphere at Calderon Stadium was revived.

"Gao Zheng! He saved the team! If Atletico Madrid lost this game at home, the consequences would be unimaginable!" He Ping said with fear.

In the end, with the goal of Gao Zheng, Atletico Madrid drew Benfica at home 2:2.

This is certainly not a good result, but after almost losing the game, the draw is not so unacceptable.

After all, with a worse result in front of everyone, the two evils are better than the others.

Had it not been Gao Zheng, this game would have to lose...

However, after the game, Atletico Madrid's performance was still criticized by the media.

This is the home court. The prediction before the match is that Atletico Madrid beat Benfica at home.

As a result, now you are only a draw at home, what if you go away?

Could it be that Atletico Madrid really want to compete with Benfica for the group first?

The group has the right to qualify, but everyone is not worried. But if you don’t get the group first, it is too shameful.

Moreover, the group ranking is not only related to face, but also related to the result of the draw after entering the knockout.

If Atlético Madrid want to face weaker opponents in the knockout, they will have to take the group first, which will draw the group second.

At the same time Atletico Madrid can be tied by Benfica at their own home, which also shows how difficult it is to play in the Champions League.

The teams that can participate in the Champions League are basically two brushes, let's take Astana, the weakest team in this group.

In the first round of the group stage, they lost to Benfica 0:2 on the road, but after returning to the home stage in the round, they drew Galatasaray 2:2.

To know that in the 86th minute, Galatasaray scored the goal, which is basically a lore. As a result, in the eighty-ninth minute, Astana froze back, allowing the Turkish team to fly a three-pointer.

Even opponents like Astana should not be underestimated. This is the Champions League.

In another UEFA Champions League group match on the same day, Atletico Madrid's rival rival Real Madrid defeated Malmö 2:0 on the road.

The UEFA Champions League group stage has already mentioned two rounds. Real Madrid have won two games and scored six goals without losing a goal.

After the first round of the league was tied by the newly promoted Sporting Gijon, the team led by Benitez has gradually been on the right track.

For the next four league games, Real Madrid maintained their winning streak. It was not until the last round of the league that they were tied at home by Malaga.

However, in the Champions League group stage, they defeated the Swedish team Malmo 2:0 away.

This fully shows that Benitez's self-adjusting ability is still very strong.

After sending away the Champions League champion Ancelotti, Real Madrid fans were still a little worried that Benitez could not control the Galaxy Battleship.

But now, many people can put their hearts in their stomachs.

After all, Benitez is also the tactical master who led Liverpool to win the Champions League trophy. Although he had a stupid streak in Inter Milan, it may just be that Inter Milan is not suitable for him.

And know that Real Madrid was once Benitez's old club-Benitez's youth player period was spent in Real Madrid's youth training camp.

And Benitez's coaching career also began in Real Madrid-he is currently coaching Real Madrid's B team Castilla, and then served as an assistant coach of Real Madrid's first team.

So this man is of Real Madrid origin. He coaches Real Madrid just like Guardiola coaches Barcelona.

Everyone believes this is a match made in heaven.

Now, the master tactics really put Real Madrid on the right track.

Ancelotti's turmoil after class did not affect Real Madrid's first team.

——The premise of this is that Benitez passes the next “exam”.

Real Madrid challenged Atletico Madrid away.

This Madrid derby is the big test that determines everyone's evaluation of Benitez.

After all, Real Madrid faced Atletico Madrid eight times last season and only won one in the Champions League, tied three games, and lost all other four games.

It can be said to be tragic.

And even if they won Atletico Madrid in the Champions League, they have not been able to go further in the Champions League, and that victory against Atletico Madrid is meaningless.

Such a bad single-season record made every Real Madrid fan hold his breath.

With the introduction of the new head coach, everyone naturally hopes that Real Madrid will be ashamed under the leadership of Benitez.

It can be said that in the last round of the league, in the case of Benitez making a rotation for the Champions League, the team was still tied by Malaga, and there was still criticism in the media. But as long as he can lead the team to beat Atletico Madrid, then these criticisms will cease to exist.
