Since Hamburg won the championship two rounds in advance, the championship lost its suspense, but the battle for relegation and the top four in the league is still fierce.
In the relegation zone, Braunschweig, which is first from last, has been relegated early, and Nuremberg, which is second from last, is 6 points behind Stuttgart, which is third from last, and has a goal difference of 17 points less. It is basically hopeless.
.
Therefore, the remaining teams still in the relegation zone have to "compete" for the last, which is the third-to-last spot.
Although it is said that the third from bottom will have to play a play-off with the third Bundesliga to decide whether it can stay in the Bundesliga, but who dares to take this risk?
Of course, get ashore as soon as you can!
Then it became lively here.
Stuttgart is ranked 16th in the standings with 32 points, and just above it, there are four teams with 36 points, namely Frankfurt, Freiburg, Hannover 96, and Werder Bremen. p>
In other words, these five teams all have a chance to qualify for the relegation play-offs.
Even though the other four teams are 4 points higher than Stuttgart, there are still two games left. With such fierce competition, anything can happen.
For example, in Frankfurt, where he first played, he lost 0:2 at home to Leverkusen!
Then Freiburg also lost to Schalke 04 by the same score.
Although these relegation teams have high fighting spirit, their opponents are all teams that are working hard to qualify for the European competition. They not only have fighting spirit, but also have stronger combat effectiveness!
But the last game of this round brought an early end to this season's relegation battle.
Stuttgart lost to Wolfsburg 1:2, and this result also locked them in the third-to-last position.
In these head-to-head confrontations between the relegation teams and the European teams, the European teams achieved a comprehensive victory!
After all, they are still the stronger side.
With this key victory, Schalke 04 also continued to maintain a 3-point advantage over Leverkusen and ranked fourth. As long as they do not lose in the final round, they can qualify for the Champions League qualifying rounds next season. p>
If all goes well, they will join Hamburg, Bayern Munich and Dortmund in the Champions League next season.
There is a high probability that Leverkusen will participate in the Europa League next season with Wolfsburg.
……
Hamburg will face Bayern Munich at home in this round.
This should have been a decisive battle for the Bundesliga championship that attracted the attention of thousands of people, but now it has been reduced to a "friendly match".
Since this will be Hamburg's last home game of the season, before the game started, the German Football Association also held a formal awards ceremony for Hamburg at the People's Park Stadium.
Hamburg's captain Westermann took the stage on behalf of the team to receive the Bundesliga championship trophy.
All Hamburg fans in the audience cheered for him, and the atmosphere in the stadium was warm yet restrained.
After all, they have already celebrated once, and everyone has heard what Pan Yi said, they will not start the real celebration until they win the Triple Crown!
Before the game officially started, both sides were in harmony.
Bayern Munich's head coach Guardiola had already "admitted defeat". When he came to the People's Park Stadium today, he grabbed Pan Yi and the two sides had another long cordial conversation.
In this conversation, Guardiola was talking most of the time, while Pan Yi just listened with a smile.
Conversations include but are not limited to:
"I watched the two games you played against Atletico Madrid. You seemed to have used my advice to play in the first game, but what can I say about the second game? I really didn't expect you to do such a good defensive counterattack.
Better than Simeone!"
"Aren't you going to fight Klopp again in the German Cup final? How are you going to fight? You don't need me to help you this time. I think you already have an idea in mind!"
"Actually, I prefer to play against a team like Dortmund, just attack each other. You should teach me how to deal with a strong team that focuses on defense sometime, right? It's really difficult to face such a team.
It’s such a headache.”
"You're talking about the two games we played against Real Madrid? Well, don't mention it, I was blown away by An Pang... Their BBC combination is indeed too strong! And their counterattack is sharper than Atletico Madrid!" "By the way, do you want to get first-hand information about Real Madrid? I can give it to you, but you have to treat me to a good meal again. As promised, we can't go to any ramen restaurants anymore!..." p>
The two head coaches are like this, and the players of the two teams are harmonious on the court.
Hamburg has already won the championship ahead of schedule. Sun Xingmin and De Bruyne are also absent due to injuries. Pan Yi sent a lineup mainly composed of rotating players.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, has no intention of playing after losing on all three fronts, and has brought in many young players for training.
For example, Lucas Ryder, Mitchell Wiesel, Hoyinbjerg, etc.
The two sides ended up in a draw, with Westerman and Shaqiri scoring one goal each for their teams.
……
Valencia Mestalla Stadium.
Held here tonight is the final of the 2013-2014 Spanish Copa del Rey.
The two sides facing each other are Real Madrid and Barcelona. This is another Spanish national derby!
Before this game, in the official El Clasico match, Real Madrid and Barcelona faced off 226 times, with Real Madrid having the upper hand with 90 wins, 48 draws and 88 losses;
If informal games are included, El Clasico has been played a total of 259 times, with Real Madrid at a disadvantage with 94 wins, 58 draws and 107 losses.
But in general, it can still be described in one word: equally matched!
Judging from the results this season, the two teams have also formed a tendency to pull each other apart.
Their current rankings in the league are second and third respectively.
Ranked first is none other than Atletico Madrid, which was just eliminated by Hamburg in the Champions League semifinals!
After 37 rounds of La Liga, Real Madrid no longer has any hope of winning the championship. They are already 5 points behind Atletico Madrid.
Barcelona is 3 points behind Atletico Madrid, but they still have a chance.
Because in the last round, the two teams will face off head-to-head. If Barcelona can defeat Atletico Madrid, it can still come back and win the championship!
It can be said that the last round is the final of this season's La Liga, and Barcelona is one of the finalists.
As for Real Madrid, although there is no hope for the league, they are unstoppable in the Champions League semi-finals, sweeping Bayern Munich with a total score of 5:0. They also reached the final and have great hopes of winning the championship.
Barcelona can't do it in the Champions League.
They were suppressed by Hamburg in the group stage, and were eliminated by Paris Saint-Germain after qualifying. They didn't even make it to the quarterfinals.
Therefore, the two teams have reached the finals of two major competitions, and now they are going to face each other head-on in the King's Cup final. You can imagine how much they want to win against their opponents.
But neither side could field their strongest lineup in this game.
On Real Madrid's side, Cristiano Ronaldo had a slight injury. To be on the safe side, Ancelotti asked the Portuguese superstar to rest in the stands.
On Barcelona's side, Pique is absent due to injury, and Pinto is still used as the goalkeeper.
But after all, both teams are the world's top clubs, and their lineups are still star-studded.
Both teams have adopted the current "standard formation for giants", the 433 formation.
Real Madrid:
Forwards: Insko, Benzema, Bale.
Midfielder: Alonso, Di Maria, Modric.
Defenders: Coentrao, Ramos, Pepe, Nacho.
Goalkeeper: Casillas.
Barcelona:
Forwards: Neymar, Cesc Fabregas, Messi.
Midfielder: Xavi, Busquets, Iniesta.
Defenders: Alba, Bartra, Mascherano, Alves.
Goalkeeper: Pinto.
After the opening, Barcelona had a certain psychological advantage because they defeated Real Madrid 2:1 and 4:3 in the two league games this season, so they attacked more intensely.
But Real Madrid was not to be outdone at all. They also regarded this game as a battle to avenge their league defeat, so they played particularly hard.
The two sides immediately started a fierce fight, with constant collisions.
After all, it is a Spanish El Clasico, there is no testing at all!
Only 3 minutes into the game, Yinsko kicked Neymar down and received a yellow card.
2 minutes later, Yinske made a direct pass, and Bell broke into the penalty area with his left rib and shot with his left foot and missed the far post.
Then Benzema passed the ball and Bell's right-footed shot from 11 meters was resolved.
In the face of Barcelona's passing and control, Real Madrid's defensive counterattack formation today seems more threatening!
As a result, Real Madrid took the lead in the 11th minute!
Real Madrid made a series of passes in the midfield. Benzema passed the ball. Di Maria's left-footed shot from 11 meters passed through Alba's wicket and flew to the far corner. Pinto pounced on the ball but failed to prevent the ball from entering the net. 1
:0!
This goal also made the atmosphere on the field more tense.
In the 16th minute, Neymar fell to the ground in the penalty area. Ramos pushed Neymar. Pepe and Coentrao were also involved, and a conflict broke out between the two sides.
In the end, the referee showed Pepe and Neymar a yellow card each to calm the incident.
Then the two sides attacked and defended each other, and the fight was back and forth.
In the 34th minute, Alves took a tactical corner kick from the right, and Messi's low shot with his left foot in front of the penalty area on the right was blocked.
In the 42nd minute, Iniesta broke into the penalty area and passed the ball. Fabregas made a low pass from the left. Ramos extended his foot to make a clearance. Messi's left-footed volley from 16 meters missed slightly.
One minute later, Messi stopped the ball at the bottom line of the penalty area and lost the ball under the defense of Pepe and Ramos. The Argentine asked the referee for a penalty kick but failed.
In the 45th minute, Di Maria made a low pass from the right, but Benzema's push from 12 meters failed to hit the target.
At halftime, Real Madrid led 1:0.
After changing sides in the second half, Barcelona immediately made adjustments and replaced Alba with Adriano.
The competition is still exciting and fierce.
In the 48th minute, Pepe and Nacho intercepted the ball from Xiaofa. Nacho passed the ball and Bell drove straight in from 12 meters and missed the low shot with his left foot.
In the 53rd minute, Pepe broke through with the ball and was knocked over by Mascherano, who received a yellow card.
In the 55th minute, Busquets' header was not far away, and Bell volleyed over with his left foot from 18 meters.
In the 60th minute, Barcelona continued to adjust and replaced Fabio with Pedro.
2 minutes later, Di Maria took a corner kick, and Benzema rushed to the top and was caught by Pinto.
In the 65th minute, Bartra broke out of the defense and fired a powerful right-footed volley from 26 meters away. Casillas tipped the ball over the crossbar. Real Madrid counterattacked, and Benzema's left-footed low shot from 9 meters away was tipped over by the near post.
The ground blocked the bottom line. Di Maria took a corner kick, and Bell scored but was called for a collision with the goalkeeper.
In the 68th minute, Barcelona finally equalized the score!
Xavi took a corner kick from the left, and Bartra headed the ball 10 meters into the upper right corner, beyond the reach of Cassie, 1:1! Bartra kissed the Barcelona team emblem to celebrate.
In the 72nd minute, Bell broke into the penalty area from the left wing and shot hard with his left foot. Pinto saved the ball.
In the 77th minute, Ramos reached out to pull up Alves, who was lying on the ground, but the latter refused.
In the 81st minute, Di Maria made a cross, and Modric's right-footed shot from 23 meters missed the post and rolled out of the baseline.
In the 85th minute, a famous scene appeared!
Coentrao passed the ball from the left, and Bell overtook Bartra from the outside. He shot a low shot with his left foot from 6 meters and succeeded at the near post, 2:1!
"Bell passed the ball to himself three seconds later", helping Real Madrid take the lead. This was also Bell's 20th goal this season.
Barcelona almost equalized in the 90th minute. Xavi passed the ball with his heel. Neymar hit the post with his right foot and Cassie held the ball.
But in the end, Real Madrid defeated Barcelona and won the Copa del Rey this season!
At the post-match press conference, Ancelotti said that although Real Madrid lost the league championship this season, it still took the King's Cup championship from Barcelona.
He also believes that Real Madrid can also win the Champions League final to be held soon and complete this pretty good season with a double crown!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"I know that Hamburg has won the Bundesliga championship ahead of schedule. They have also entered the German Cup final and the Champions League final. They even have a chance to win the season's triple crown."
"But it is a pity that I can only congratulate them in advance for winning the German domestic double crown. Because they will face a better Real Madrid in the Champions League final."
"Cristiano Ronaldo's injury has recovered very well, and he will definitely return in the Champions League final. By then, I doubt whether Hamburg's defense can withstand the attacks of Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Bale."
"By the way, speaking of Bale, have you all seen that goal? My God! At that moment, I thought of Bolt!"
At the end of the sentence, Ancelotti also made the famous eyebrow expression: o_?
In fact, as a well-known good man, Ancelotti rarely says offensive words when facing reporters.
But now he is under a lot of pressure.
Losing the league championship early is difficult for Real Madrid fans to accept.
Although he won the Copa del Rey today, Ancelotti knows that only by winning the Champions League can he truly consolidate his position in the hearts of Real Madrid executives and Real Madrid fans!
Therefore, he has expressed his determination in advance, which is to win Hamburg and bring the Champions League trophy back to Madrid!
In addition to Ancelotti, Ronaldo, Bale, Ramos, Pepe and other Real Madrid players have also publicly expressed their longing and expectations for the Champions League final.
They all want to win this Champions League title!
After all, although Real Madrid has always topped the list of Champions League champions with nine titles, the last time they won it was more than ten years ago.
It was in the distant 2001-2002 season, at Hampden Park Stadium in Glasgow, Scotland, Real Madrid defeated Bayer Leverkusen 2:1, and Zidane performed a great performance.
Therefore, in order to win the tenth Champions League in team history, the slogan of "perfection" is very consistent at Real Madrid.
They are also determined to win this final!
Today's victory over Barcelona to win the Copa del Rey really gave them a lot of confidence, and Real Madrid's greater source of confidence is their complete victory over Bayern in the semi-finals.
A score of 4:0 in a single game. Who in recent years can inflict such humiliation on the Bundesliga overlord?
Spanish domestic media also believe that Real Madrid is very likely to continue to defeat Hamburg, another Bundesliga team, in the Champions League final and realize its dream of ten Champions Leagues.
However, "Aspen", the mouthpiece of Real Madrid, also reminded that "Hamburg is actually not easy to deal with."
Atletico Madrid, which currently has a good chance of winning the La Liga title, was double beaten by Hamburg.
Along the way, Hamburg defeated strong teams such as Barcelona and Manchester City (not mentioning Manchester United). These records illustrate their strength.
In Germany, Hamburg also beat Bayern Munich and won the Bundesliga championship two rounds ahead of schedule.
"This is actually a clash between two teams that can also beat the previous champion Bayern."
"As the strongest and almost invincible Cosmos team in the past year or two, Bayern can be regarded as a reliable touchstone."
"Therefore, this year's Champions League final is a true championship showdown, a contest between the two strongest teams!"
"Once a game reaches this level, there are many factors that affect the outcome of the game, which requires coaches from both sides to make more careful arrangements..."
……
Pan Yi naturally watched the Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and Barcelona.
This can be regarded as a wonderful game worth remembering in the history of Spanish El Clasico. Coupled with Bell's overtaking goal, Pan Yi certainly wouldn't mind enjoying it again.
Of course, his more important purpose is to study Real Madrid's recent games to see how Ancelotti's tactics are arranged.
But for now, it’s just a taste, because this Champions League final will be the final game of the entire 2013-2014 European football season. Before that, Hamburg still has a Bundesliga and German Cup game to play.
After these two games are played, Pan Yi has time to study the tactical information about Ancelotti in the system, and then combine it with this Spanish national derby to come up with the best response plan.
……
May 10th, the 34th round of the Bundesliga, which is the last round.
Hamburg challenged Augsburg away from home.
Although it has nothing to do with the championship, Pan Yi still sent all the main players in this game.
Of course, except for the injured De Bruyne and Son Heung-min.
That's because after the Bundesliga ends, the German Cup final will not be held until May 18, and then the Champions League final will be held another week later on May 26.
Therefore, in this case, it is the most correct choice to let the main players play to maintain their condition.
Augsburg, who had no hope of European war and no worries about relegation, played more relaxedly, but actually performed at a good level.
Altintop's goals in the 7th and 32nd minutes actually gave the home team a two-goal lead over Hamburg in the first half!
Pan Yi reprimanded the players for a long time during the halftime break, and it was effective.
After the start of the second half, the spirit of the Hamburg generals took on a new look and they began to counterattack.
Wu Lei scored twice in the 47th and 67th minutes, and Vardy also scored twice.
In the end, Hamburg came back and defeated Augsburg 4:2, successfully completing all Bundesliga games this season.
Since the teams in the relegation zone have been fixed, the middle and lower reaches teams obviously lacked fighting spirit in the final round, while the strong teams won one after another.
Bayern Munich 1:0 Stuttgart.
Schalke 04 beat Nuremberg 4:1.
Leverkusen 2:1 Werder Bremen.
Dortmund defeated Hertha Berlin 4:0.
This also resulted in no change in the final Bundesliga standings.
Hamburg won the championship with 29 wins, 5 draws and 92 points.
Bayern finished second with 27 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses, accumulating 85 points.
The points gap between the two was finally fixed at 7 points.
The score difference is even greater later.
In third place, Dortmund has 22 wins, 5 draws and 7 losses with 71 points.
In fourth place, Schalke 04 has only 19 wins, 7 draws, 8 losses and 64 points.
These four teams have also qualified for the Champions League next season.
Leverkusen, ranked fifth, has 19 wins, 4 draws, 11 losses and 61 points, while Wolfsburg, ranked sixth, has 18 wins, 6 draws and 10 losses, with 60 points. The two teams will participate in the Europa League. p>
And since this season's German Cup final will be played between Hamburg and Dortmund, they have already qualified for the Champions League, so the German Cup champion's European qualification has also been postponed to seventh place.
In this way, Borussia Monchengladbach, ranked seventh, also squeezed into the last train of the Europa League with 16 wins, 7 draws, 11 losses and 55 points.
In the relegation zone, of course, Nuremberg and Braunschweig will fly to the Bundesliga 2 together, while Stuttgart will have to play two rounds of home and away games with Fürth, the third place in the Bundesliga 2 this season, to decide who will participate in the next season.
Bundesliga match!
……
Hamburg defeated Augsburg. The victory itself was nothing special, but it helped Pan Yi create two new Bundesliga records.
First of all, Hamburg won the championship with an unbeaten record of 29 wins and 5 draws!
This is the first time since the Bundesliga was founded that a team has remained undefeated throughout the season!
This is undoubtedly a very difficult record, because even if you look at the five major leagues, only two teams can achieve this.
The first team was AC Milan in Serie A from 1991-1992.
That AC Milan team was full of superstars. In addition to the famous Dutch three Musketeers of Van Basten, Gullit, and Rijkaard, there were also stars such as Costacurta and Maldini. Now Real Madrid coach Anche
Lottie is also in the lineup.
In the end, AC Milan won the championship with 22 wins, 12 draws and 56 points.
The second team is Arsenal in the 2003-2004 Premier League.
Arsenal was also strong that season. Henry, Bergkamp, Ashley Cole, Vieira and others also performed well. Coupled with the strategizing of head coach Arsene Wenger, Arsenal ended up with 26 wins and 12 wins.
With a flat unbeaten record, they won the championship with 90 points, 11 points ahead of second place Chelsea.
So Hamburg is the third team in the five major leagues to achieve this goal!
And their points are higher than AC Milan and Arsenal.
This result of 29 wins, 5 draws and 92 points also broke Bayern's highest season points record set in the 2012-2013 season.
Last season, Bayern achieved a record of 29 wins, 4 draws, 1 loss and 91 points. This season, Hamburg is exactly 1 point higher than Bayern!
In fact, if you include the normal timeline before Pan Yi crossed over, when Bayern won ten consecutive Bundesliga titles, they failed to exceed this point again and failed to achieve an unbeaten season.
These two records also show Hamburg’s absolute dominance of the Bundesliga this season!
