While Real Madrid host Málaga, Barcelona travel to Valencia.

It's a tough battle, as Valencia are one of the very few teams in La Liga who can go toe-to-toe with the Spanish Super League duo.

What's more, after Pep Guardiola took charge of Barcelona, his first two visits to the Mestania Stadium ended in draws, and even narrowly missed one of them.

Valencia has lost Villa and David Silva in a row this season, but the overall strength is still good, Barcelona dare not be too careless, and Guardiola even put on a rare conservative lineup.

Three-five-two, but somewhat similar to four-four-two, Messi and Villa were pushed to the front.

But even so, Barcelona still played hard at Mestania, and the opponents knew quite well how to freeze Barcelona's organization and attack, and they played evenly with Barcelona throughout the game.

Possession was naturally at the feet of Barcelona, but Valencia's counter-attack was also impressive.

The first half ended in a 0-0 draw, with Barcelona failing to show a solid beat, and Valencia became more aggressive in the second half, apparently trying to pull off an upset at home and win against the unbeatable Barcelona.

You know, Barcelona has only lost once this season, and that was a 0-1 defeat at home to Real Madrid.

With the exception of the Galaxy, no team in Europe can beat Barcelona.

Valencia wants to be the second!

But sometimes that's the way it is, when you start to get pushy, when you start to get distracted, your opponent's fatal blow comes.

In the 77th minute, Xavi made a through pass, Adriano crossed the defender on the left side of the penalty area, Messi ran to the gap and pushed the goal from 11 meters in front of the goal, scoring his 29th goal of the season.

In the end, Barcelona narrowly defeated Valencia 1-0 away with Messi's killer goal.

It was the first time in three years that Barcelona had beaten an opponent at the Mestania Stadium.

But after the game, when the Barcelona players walked off the pitch, they heard news from another stadium.

…………

…………

"What? Eight to zero? Peake exclaimed.

"Real Madrid is crazy, right? Last time I played 7-0, this one is 8-0? ”

Not only Pique, but everyone in Barcelona was equally incredible.

This is crazy.

Fifteen goals in two rounds of matches is insane.

What's more, everyone feels that Real Madrid are coming back to form, and that their morale and fighting spirit are getting stronger and better.

From the moment they beat Espanyol with 10 men, it was as if the team had regained the key to victory.

Barcelona worked hard to beat Valencia, but Real Madrid won by eight goals, and the same bitter master, Barcelona narrowly beat the Bat Army by one goal, but Real Madrid beat the opponent by seven goals at the Riazor Stadium, and the gap between them made the Barcelona players feel an indescribable pressure.

They all know very well that Real Madrid will always be chasing them.

Perhaps, a seven-point lead is not safe.

At this moment, Messi suddenly walked towards Villanova and asked with concern: "What about Yang Yang?" ”

That's what Messi cares about the most.

At the beginning of this season, he led the La Liga scorer list all the way, and even led Yang Yang by more than a dozen goals at one point, everyone thought that he was already a sure winner, but no one expected that after his comeback at the end of November, Yang Yang's performance was better than a game.

In the last round away against Deportivo La Coruna, he even staged a big four, reversing Messi in one breath and topping the La Liga scorer list with 29 goals, completing an epic reversal and winning unanimous praise from the media and fans around the world.

This also brought huge pressure to Messi, so that in this game, Messi performed very hard, but the goddess of luck did not seem to be on his side, and Messi felt very angry after missing a single knife three times.

Thankfully, he did manage to score a goal in the second half, his 29th of the season.

Finally chased it back!

If Yang Yang doesn't score in this round, then Messi is now on par with Yang Yang.

Seeing Messi's eager eyes, Vilanova suddenly couldn't bear to tell him, because he knew Messi's hard work and dedication this season, and he was convinced that Messi could beat any opponent, including Manchester United's Cristiano Ronaldo, but this time he wanted to challenge the crazy Yang Yang.

A top killer who has been out of action for more than two months and scored one after another as soon as he returned.

"Did Yang Yang score?" Messi asked with concern, he had a very ominous premonition.

Real Madrid's number one killer is Yang Yang, who beat Malaga 8-0, and it is very unlikely that Yang Yang did not score.

But Messi still wants to know.

"How many did he go in?" Messi asked again.

In the face of Messi's questioning, Vilanova took a deep breath, glanced at Guardiola, and finally said it.

"Four!"

"Four?" Messi couldn't believe his ears.

Two consecutive big fours?

"This guy is crazy, isn't he?" Peake was also shocked, "Did you take drugs?" ”

Pique has always been grinning, with a big mouth and a very messy speech, no one in Barcelona will believe what he said, Yang Yang has no need to take drugs, but everyone is very shocked, because of two consecutive big four wins, what an amazing attack power?

That's a guy who can score sixty or seventy goals in a single season!

After Messi got the answer, he didn't say a word, turned around and walked into the players' tunnel and walked back to the dressing room.

Pep Guardiola, Vilanova and the Barcelona players all looked at him in amazement, a little sad for him.

The whole world knows that Messi has extraordinary talent and skills, he is known as the most talented top talent in world football since Maradona, and as he matures, he begins to work harder and faster.

But even so, he still had to succumb to Yang Yang.

Messi was not convinced, and the Barcelona players were also unconvinced by him.

But if they could find other reasons and excuses before, then this season, they can't find any excuse to convince themselves, because Yang Yang has been absent for eleven rounds, more than two months, and nearly 20 goals behind Messi, but now he is catching up in one go.

For such an opponent, what can they say besides admiration?

Do you want to be like the unreliable Pique, suspecting Yang Yang of taking drugs?

Guardiola also looked deeply at the back of Messi's departure, and he didn't say a word from beginning to end.

He is also not worth Messi, but he has to admit that Yang Yang is indeed stronger.

The real strong meet the stronger, Yang Yang this season is like this, in the absence of eleven rounds, nearly 20 goals behind, Yang Yang withstood the pressure and reversed Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

So now, it's up to Messi to behave himself.

If he is defeated by Yang Yang because of this, then he will have nothing to say.

…………

…………

Real Madrid beat Malaga, and Yang Yang led the La Liga scorer list with 33 goals, which aroused widespread attention and heated discussions among the media and fans all over Europe and even around the world.

Everyone is convinced that Yang Yang finally broke out with the pinnacle performance of his career under tremendous pressure.

But in midweek, in the 27th round of La Liga, Real Madrid's away game against Racing Santander, Benitez hid Yang Yang.

The main reason is that Yang Yang has been fighting on multiple fronts continuously, and he has hardly stopped since the winter break, and the medical team believes that it is necessary for him to rest properly and stay for the next Champions League games.

In this round, Real Madrid defeated Racing Santander 3-1 away, and Yang Yang traveled with the team, but did not play.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a goal, Gonzalo Higuain scored twice and the Swedish centre-forward missed a penalty, which was a bit funny.

Barcelona narrowly beat Zaragoza 1-0 at home in this round, and Pep Guardiola's side also rotated, with Seydoux Keita scoring the only goal in the 42nd minute.

So far, the difference between the two teams is still seven points.

……

On the weekend, in the 28th round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Hercules.

Yang Yang started the game, and in the 24th minute, David Silva went straight to the right side of the penalty area, McConn inserted a cross at high speed, Yang Yang was unmarked, and calmly pushed the goal, 1-0.

After the rematch in the second half, Di Maria passed the ball from the side, and Yang Yang cut into the penalty area from the left rib after winning the ball, and scored a brace with a low shot into the far corner from a small angle.

Yang Yang was then replaced by Canales and began to save his strength for the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 in midweek.

For Real Madrid, the Champions League is clearly more important.

Real Madrid won 2-0 against Hercules.

But what no one expected was that in another game played a day later than Real Madrid, Barcelona was drawn 1-1 by Sevilla away from home.

The whole game was under Barcelona's control, but it wasn't until the 30th minute that Xavi crossed diagonally to the right, Alves crossed and Bojan scored an empty goal to open the scoring for Barca.

But just after the start of the second half, Sevilla played a counter-attack, Negredo won the ball on the right flank, got rid of Abidal, and crossed back in front of the baseline, and Keylor Navas followed up with a header to equalize for Sevilla.

Subsequently, no matter how hard Barcelona chased and played, they never managed to break through Sevilla's goal.

In the end, the two sides shook hands one by one.

Messi played the full 90 minutes and had a strong desire to score, but he was closely guarded by Sevilla and never found an effective chance to score, and unfortunately failed to score.

When the news spread, the whole of Madrid was in an uproar.

Everyone was cheering about Barcelona's drop of points, as it meant that Real Madrid had further narrowed the gap on points.

From seven points to five points.

By this moment, it was clear to all that the final derby of the century of the season was going to be crucial.

Whoever wins this battle will have the potential to win the championship.

Especially for Real Madrid, if they want to turn around, they must win Barcelona at home.
