The second leg of the Copa del Rey quarter-finals is approaching, Santa Malaga is actively preparing for the game, and Li Chuanqi is further honing his breakthrough shooting skills on the training ground.
Although they defeated Valencia in the first round, no one knows whether this D-level team can continue to create miracles and reach the semi-finals as never before.
After all, Valencia is the third-ranked team in La Liga.
Valencia, which has been criticized by the media, is also actively preparing for the life-and-death battle in the second round. If the first round is an accident, then they will not allow another accident in the second round.
God, that's just a D-level team.
Can't a La Liga team eliminate a D-level team?
This was an iron law before, but this year it has been broken. The D-level team of Santa Malaga has eliminated two La Liga teams...
…
What attracts media attention is still the showdown between Real Madrid and Barcelona, a pair of giant teams. Barcelona won 2-1 in the first round at the Bernabeu, laying a solid foundation for promotion.
Of course, who can be sure that Barcelona will advance?
Is it impossible for Real Madrid to make a comeback at Camp Nou?
Mourinho and Ronaldo don’t want to make a comeback at Camp Nou?
"It is impossible for Real Madrid to make a comeback at Camp Nou because Messi will not allow this to happen!"
Barcelona mouthpiece Mundo Deportivo said: "Barcelona will give Real Madrid a hard blow at the Nou Camp and let them understand that a comeback at the Nou Camp is just a dream, an unattainable dream!"
Real Madrid mouthpiece AS reported: "No one knows the final outcome of what has not happened. Real Madrid still has hope!
This newspaper interviewed Mourinho yesterday. The Portuguese said in the interview, 'I have told my players that this is the best opportunity to prove themselves!'
'Some people think there is no suspense about advancing, but I don't think so. We will fight until the last minute!'
The Portuguese are as determined as ever.
Cristiano Ronaldo said in an interview yesterday, 'We will try our best to win. We stand on the court just to win, just to win!'
There is no problem with the Portuguese forward's fighting spirit. The only trouble is the injury to his leg, which will affect his condition.
We wish good luck to them!"
The second round of the quarter-finals started on January 25. The La Liga team Mirandes, playing at home, defeated the La Liga team Espanyol 2-1. In the end, they advanced with more away goals and took the lead in the semi-finals.

At 6 o'clock in the evening of the next day, Mallorca and Athletic Bilbao made their debut. Athletic Bilbao, who played away from home, continued the state of the first round, winning with a score of 1 to 0, and finally advanced with a score of 3 to 0.
Semifinals!
The match between Mallorca and Athletic Bilbao ends, and the Spanish El Clasico debuts.
Camp Nou was packed with people, and at eight o'clock on time, the game started.
Real Madrid played very proactively in the away game. Barcelona refused to give up any ground, and the scene was extremely heated. From time to time, players screamed and fell on the turf.
In the 25th minute, Arbeloa passed the ball. Ozil received the ball from the right. Twenty-five meters away from the goal, he shot with a kick. The football hit the crossbar and the ball bounced out!
Real Madrid players shouted "The ball has been scored!", but referee Fernando Teixeira remained unmoved and signaled the game to continue.
The irritated Real Madrid made more and more moves. In the 36th minute, Cristiano Ronaldo knocked Alves down with a sweeping kick during the scramble.
Barcelona broke the deadlock in the 43rd minute. Messi broke through and got rid of Alonso and Ramos. Facing Arbeloa and Pepe, he sent a wonderful pass. Pedro shot low from the left side of the penalty area and the ball hit the near corner!
Messi's assist can be called a copy of Maradona's classic assist!
Barcelona entered the second half with a one-goal lead. At the beginning of the second half, Real Madrid suffered another heavy blow. Alves blasted the world in front of the penalty area. Barcelona was 2-0!
In despair, Real Madrid launched a crazy counterattack. In the 23rd minute of the second half, Ronaldo scored alone!
Two to one!
Real Madrid gets a goal back!
This goal greatly boosted the morale of Real Madrid. Four minutes later, Benzema scored again, 2-2!
Real Madrid equalized the score and the total score was only one goal short!
The following game became intense. In order to block the opponent's attack, both sides tried their best and various fouls appeared in endlessly!
The referee showed a total of eight yellow cards and one red card. In the end, Barcelona maintained the tie until the end of the game, and finally advanced with a thrilling score of 4-3.
At the end of the game, the Spanish media started a war of words. The Madrid media believed that Ozil's shot was a goal and that the referee killed Real Madrid's victory.
The media in Catalonia believed that the Real Madrid players were too rude and cited Pepe's foot on Messi in the first round as an excuse...
The media focused their main attention on the Spanish El Clasico, which has ended, while Santa Malaga silently made final preparations for the life-and-death battle that was about to begin.
It’s not that there are no media mentioning Santa Malaga, Malaga and Valencia’s media mentioned the second leg match between Santa Malaga and Valencia, but their voices were not loud.
"The big clubs are different. Even if they lose the game, they are still the center of attention."
Miguel sighed.
Liag said with an expression on his face: "Real Madrid is the center of attention at all times."
There was no problem with that, so MiG could only shrug.
"It's strange, why don't you have any resentment against Real Madrid?"
Miguel looked at Liago, the former star of hope in Real Madrid's youth academy, who was ruthlessly abandoned by Real Madrid. It stands to reason that he must be dissatisfied with his old club.
This is something Miguel has always wondered about, because Liag has never said anything bad about Real Madrid.
"Why should there be resentment? Because they didn't keep me?"
Liag shook his head and said: "Real Madrid is full of talents, how many people from the youth training camp will eventually stay?
Most of the players in Real Madrid's youth academy ended up playing for other clubs. Are they all dissatisfied with Real Madrid?
Then isn’t Real Madrid full of enemies?”
Okay, what you said makes sense, MiG shut his mouth.
Liag was indeed in a low mood today: "Let's think more about tonight's game, our game is the most important!"
"Boss, will there be a big meal before the game?"
MiG shouted at Juan, breaking the slightly dull scene.
"There will be a big dinner, there will definitely be..."
Juan rubbed his fat hands and said with a smile: "If the game ends tonight and we advance, the sponsor will treat us to a big dinner!"
Miguel raised his eyebrows: "Does this mean there will be no more before the game?"
Zuculini glared at Miguel: "I only know how to eat, eat, eat all day long!"
He turned around and asked Juan: "Will the sponsor treat us to eat Iberian ham?"
