In the 31st round of La Liga, Espanyol was tied 1:1 by Malaga.
Atletico Madrid beat Betis 5:1.
Real Madrid reversed Barcelona 2:1 at Camp Nou for the first time in 51 years, with Cristiano Ronaldo scoring the winning goal.
Villarreal defeated Eibar 2:1 away.
The results of these three games, which were closely related to the Spaniard, were all unfavorable to the Spaniard.
Fortunately, the Spaniard widened the points gap with Villarreal in the early stage. Being caught up by two points by Villarreal does not threaten the Spaniard's top four position.
Catching up with Atletico Madrid was originally a goal beyond the Spaniard's goals.
With the Spaniard's strength, being able to get a spot in the Europa League was beyond the imagination of the fans and management at the beginning of the season.
The real threat to the Spaniard is that Ronaldo, who ranks second on the scorer list, scores another goal.
Now Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 29 goals, only 5 goals behind Zhao Yang.
Cristiano Ronaldo is a superstar who has scored 48 goals in a season. Even if there are only 7 games left, the gap of 5 goals is not big.
As for Barcelona's marksman Suarez, Spaniard fans hope he scores goals. After all, Suarez, who scored 26 goals, is a bit far away from Zhao Yang.
After the game, the excited Ronaldo began to put pressure on Zhao Yang.
"I never thought of giving up the fight for the top scorer, whether in the Champions League or the league. Although Zhao Yang scored 34 goals, I always believed that Suarez was the biggest threat."
Faced with Ronaldo's provocation, Zhao Yang did not want to respond, but his agents Martinez and Xu Bing both believed that he must respond.
You can't show weakness at this time. In addition, a war of words with a superstar like Ronaldo will help increase Zhao Yang's popularity.
So Zhao Yang responded to Ronaldo on his social account.
"I agree with what Ronaldo said, and I also think that Suarez is my biggest threat in competing for the top scorer."
The air-to-air duel between Zhao Yang and Cristiano Ronaldo aroused debate among fans of both sides.
Among the three major social networks of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram, Cristiano Ronaldo has a total of 260 million followers. Although Zhao Yang only has a few million fans on foreign social media, the number of fans on Weibo in China is close to 100 million, plus Shanghai
The number of foreign fans is definitely over 100 million.
Hundreds of millions of fans are debating, and the battle for top scorer is so popular that it has already left the championship battle between Real Madrid and Barcelona behind.
Zhao Yang must have taken advantage of the war of words with Ronaldo. Since he responded to Ronaldo, his number of fans on the three major social networks of Twitter, Facebook and Instagram has increased sharply. In less than three days, his overseas fans have exceeded one
Ten million.
Many sensitive media believe that if Zhao Yang can continue his performance this season, he may change the pattern of Melo's hegemony.
In midweek, Real Madrid suffered an upset in the Champions League quarter-finals, losing 0:2 to Wolfsburg.
This accident diverted the attention of fans and the media, and the hot topic in football circles returned to the Champions League.
But for the Spaniards, their focus is not on the Champions League. Who wins or loses has nothing to do with them. They are more concerned about the 32nd round of the league against Atletico Madrid.
Atletico Madrid is definitely stronger than the Spaniard.
However, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona played a tough Champions League knockout match in the middle of the week. In the end, Atletico Madrid was reversed by Barcelona 1:2 at home, and their morale was greatly damaged. It is difficult to say how high the level of the game on the weekend can be.
In this regard, the Spaniard believes that this is the best opportunity to overtake Atletico Madrid.
Due to a draw with Malaga in the last round, the Spaniard is two points behind Atletico Madrid. If they can defeat Atletico Madrid in this round, the Spaniard can reach the top two in the standings.
This is a goal beyond the target, but if there is a chance to achieve it, the Spaniard will certainly not let it go.
The Spaniards do not want to play in the Champions League qualifying rounds. They have no experience in European competitions and are worried about being eliminated by other league opponents and missing out on qualifying for the Champions League main draw.
Playing in the Champions League qualifying rounds doesn't cost much money, but playing in the Champions League main draw costs a lot of money.
Although the Spaniard has hidden ambitions, they have not made it public. As a small club, keeping a low profile can reduce a lot of resistance.
Chen Yansheng, the Chinese boss of Espanyol, knows this very well.
When being interviewed by outside media, Chen Yansheng repeatedly said that there are still 7 rounds of the league and the Spaniard does not dare to say that he will secure a spot in the Champions League. He will be very happy if he can enter the Europa League.
Compared with Boss Chen, Espanyol head coach Sergio is still a little more high-profile, "There are still seven league rounds. As long as we win 4 more games, we can celebrate. Now is not the time, we must be ready to face Atletico Madrid."
preparation."
"Although Atletico Madrid lost in midweek, their opponent was Barcelona. As a wealthy player, double matches a week is their normal operation. I don't think they will have much physical problems. Instead, I worry that they will vent their anger on us.
On the body."
"Our advantage is playing at home. Here, we have 40,000 fans cheering for us and cheering for us. I believe we have the strength to compete with Atletico Madrid."
This game means more to Atletico Madrid than Espanyol.
After Barcelona lost to Real Madrid, they were only 6 points ahead of Atletico Madrid. With 7 rounds left, Atletico Madrid did not have no chance to compete for the championship.
La Liga played its first two games on Friday, with Real Madrid beating Eibar with 4 goals and Malaga drawing 0:0 with Granada.
After Real Madrid won, they had one more game and their points were tied with Espanyol and only 2 points behind Atletico Madrid.
Real Madrid is currently sitting on the sidelines, waiting for the results of Atletico Madrid and Espanyol, and Barcelona and Real Sociedad.
Atletico Madrid arrived in Barcelona on Saturday morning.
When he got off the bus, Atletico Madrid head coach Simeone emphasized the importance of this game and praised the Spaniard and Zhao Yang in an interview with reporters.
"The last seven games are all finals! We will not give up a single chance to win the league title! Espanyol's performance this season has been impressive, and they have basically locked up a spot in the Champions League. It is not easy to beat Espanyol away from home, we need to go all out
We will continue to perform at our highest level."
"Zhao is a super player! He can decide the outcome of a game. We must keep an eye on Zhao Yang in this game. He will cause us a lot of trouble. I admire Zhao Yang very much. His growth story looks more...
Like the novel, I think he should go to a higher platform, the Spaniards can't let him achieve greater achievements."
"I don't want to prevent Zhao Yang from winning the top scorer. Real Madrid's enemies are all our friends. I hope the result of the game is that Zhao Yang scores a goal and we win the game."
Simeone then also talked about his team's situation.
"We are in good shape. The loss in the Champions League was just an accident. I believe we will win it back."
"Griezmann is our Messi and Ronaldo. Although he can't score that many goals, his role is no worse than Messi and Ronaldo."
"Torres is still one of the best forwards. He received a red card in the last round of the Champions League, which directly led to the team's loss. However, this has passed. Torres has performed very well in training. He is a key player in this game."
