827 The Greatest Suspense
When the referee blew the whistle to the end of the game, all Real Madrid players who had already stood on the sidelines rushed into the stadium in an instant.
More than 80,000 fans at the entire Bernabeu Stadium also stood up from their seats and cheered at the top of their lungs.
The scoreboard shows the final score of the game, with Real Madrid defeating Lyon four to zero.
The total score of the two rounds was 5-1, and Real Madrid successfully eliminated Lyon and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League!
This is the first time Real Madrid has successfully broken through the quarterfinals in the past six years, which has completely shattered the shame of the Champions League Sixteen, and has also made all Real Madrid players and fans feel extremely excited and excited.
In the last half hour, Raul tried hard to score a goal, but in the end he failed to get what he wanted. But even so, he was still excited to cheer for his beloved team at the moment the whistle sounded.
And Guti, who was replaced by Benitez when the team was basically sure to win.
The team's chief and deputy captains have all experienced the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship. They have witnessed the suffering of Real Madrid over the past six years, but they have also supported Real Madrid's backbone in the most difficult period.
Since Yero left the team in 2003, Raul has been the captain of the team.
In the first phase of the Galaxy Battleship, with the joining of top superstars such as Figo, Zidane, and Ronaldo, Raul's position has changed again and again. As a shadow striker who is known for his agility in playing football, Raul was forced to play as a midfielder, but the captain of Real Madrid has never said any complaints outside.
In the past few years, he has declined from the core of his soul to the main force, and has even gradually become a substitute. However, he still works hard and actively plays a role in the locker room. Even in the most difficult period of the team, he still has not given up.
Some people say that since 2003, Raul has been no longer the spiritual Spanish golden boy he used to be.
The burden of the team captain put him up so much that he was overwhelmed. The team's internal and external troubles forced him to distract him from dealing with more things. Whenever the team performed poorly, as the team captain, he would always be taken out and liquidated.
There is a saying that is right: poor couples are sad.
When Jero left Real Madrid, countless people scrambled to celebrate, but what happened afterwards?
Later, it was Raul's turn, and it would probably be Casillas and Ramos' turn in the future. Maybe one day in the future, it would be Yang Yang's turn.
Because professional football is very realistic and cruel, without results, everything is nonsense!
...
Yang Yang admires Raul very much because he feels that Raul, like Gerald, is a team leader who is willing and selfless to make contributions and lives for a team. This is certainly a factor of interest, but more importantly, emotion.
As an outsider, Yang Yang could not agree with some of their actions, but he admired their feelings very much.
So, when the whistle sounded at the end of the game, Yang Yang walked into the stadium and slapped his teammates one by one to celebrate. He walked to Raul, opened his arms, and hugged the old team captain in front of him with a smile.
Raul also seemed very touched. After hugging Yang Yang hard, he said to Yang Yang when he separated, "You are better than me, and this team will ask you in the future."
Yang Yang held Raul's shoulder hard and laughed: "How can I rely on me alone? Let's work together!"
At this moment, Yang Yang's heart was filled with excitement and excitement.
For six years, Real Madrid has never been able to break through the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Now, the team has finally entered the quarterfinals again, which is undoubtedly a great excitement for Real Madrid, and the players' enthusiasm has also become higher.
"I have a premonition, captain, as long as we continue to stick to this momentum, the tenth Champions League is really possible."
After hearing this, a hint of eager expectation flashed in Raul's eyes.
The tenth Champions League is Real Madrid's unremitting pursuit over the past six years.
It is also an honor that a series of world-class superstars, including Raul, Zidane, Ronaldo, Figo, Beckham, Robert Carlos, Irving, Cannavaro, etc., has been pursuing but not won.
"Is it really possible?" Raul's voice trembled.
In the past six years, Real Madrid has been too sluggish and too cowardly, so that even Raul himself has begun to lack confidence.
"It must be!" Yang Yang said with great confidence.
Raul looked at Yang Yang deeply, and he actually believed it.
"Then I have no regrets." Raul murmured to himself in a soft voice.
But no one heard a word Raul said to himself in the thunderous sound of the scene.

"We made careful preparations against Lyon in order to break the curse of the past six years and ended in the Champions League quarterfinals. We have a very clear idea of how to defeat Lyon." Yang Yang said happily when he was interviewed by Marca after the game.
He believes that the team successfully advanced to the quarterfinals, which is a celebration for all Real Madrid players and fans.
"But I think it's not too late to celebrate now, because we're in the quarterfinals for the first time in six years, the next quarterfinals knockout will be a big challenge for us, and we need to continue to focus in La Liga, and we can't let our guard down."
Regarding any opponents Real Madrid may encounter in the draw next, Yang Yang said Real Madrid is not afraid of any team.
"In fact, we are not a popular team. This is the first time we have entered the quarterfinals in six years. I think in terms of mentality, we need to make some adjustments and put ourselves in the weak position. Every game is carefully prepared as if we are playing in the Champions League final."
"In the Champions League, especially after entering the quarterfinals, you cannot underestimate any opponent. Pride and conceit will cost us a heavy price, so we must maintain the greatest respect for any opponent."
"Of course, we will not be afraid of any opponent. I believe we have enough strength to meet any opponent's challenges, provided that we must be ourselves and be fully prepared."
Regarding the Champions League final held at the Bernabeu this year, Yang Yang said with anticipation that the best result is of course Real Madrid can enter the final and win, as for who is the opponent in the final...
"Of course it's Barcelona!" Yang Yang replied with a smile almost without hesitation.
"If we can meet Barcelona in this year's Champions League final, it will definitely be a fantastic final, and we will definitely beat them like the first century derby."
Yang Yang still maintains the greatest respect for Barcelona, believing that Guardiola's football philosophy is very advanced, and Barcelona's control ability is very outstanding. So far, no team can compete with them.
"But what I want to say is that we don't need to adopt the same football philosophy as our opponents. It is impossible for all teams to adopt the same football tactics. We will adopt different tactics according to different opponents. We don't need to pass the game slowly like them. We can win games in a more direct, sharper and more threatening way."
Finally, Yang Yang also said that Real Madrid is ready to meet the upcoming Champions League quarterfinals.
"I want to say to our next opponent that no matter who you are, it will be your misfortune to draw us."
"Sorry, your Champions League trip this season will end."

Yang Yang's ambitious words after the game sparked heated discussions among media reporters and fans in the news media the next day.
With Real Madrid's outstanding performance in recent times, everyone has no doubt about the possibility of Yang Yang's words.
After the roster of the Champions League quarterfinals was released, Real Madrid's championship odds ranking jumped to second in the quarterfinals, second only to the leading Barcelona, which shows the outside world's expectations and optimism for Real Madrid.
Ass has even listed a historical data. In the nine Champions League wins in Real Madrid's history, they met French teams in the knockout stage four times and all successfully defeated their opponents.
Ass concluded once that Real Madrid was able to beat Lyon five to one this time, which not only broke the embarrassing dilemma of the team's consecutive stops in the quarterfinals over the past few years, but also greatly improved its confidence and confidence.
"Real Madrid will become the biggest suspense of the Champions League champion!"
This is not only the statement of Ass, but also the consensus view of mainstream media in Europe and around the world.
No one knows how amazing potential this star-studded Real Madrid still has, and no one knows how far Real Madrid, who just broke the shame of the Champions League, can go in this season's Champions League.
But no one would doubt that this team will fight for the tenth Champions League.
Because this year's Champions League final is at the Bernabeu!
...
French team newspaper also published a commentary article as soon as possible after the game, believing that the team was able to advance to the quarterfinals for the first time in six years, and the team's number one star Yang Yang played a crucial role.
In the first leg, Yang Yang scored in the last minute, saving hope for Real Madrid.
Back at the Bernabeu, Yang Yang scored with a direct free kick in the first minute of the game, opening the door to victory for Real Madrid, and then he assisted three times, helping Real Madrid defeat Lyon four-to-zero at home...
The team newspaper believes that Yang Yang's joining has brought earth-shaking changes to Real Madrid, not only the improvement of strength on the court, but more importantly, the return of players' confidence.
"In European football, there is a saying that countless fans are circulating, Yang Yang represents goals and victory!"
French team said that the biggest difference between Florentino and his predecessor Calderon is that the latter disdained Yang Yang, but Florentino bet on Yang Yang from the beginning. He always believed that Yang Yang could lead Real Madrid out of the predicament.
And it turns out that this is Florentino's most wise choice ever.
