In the twentieth round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Real Mallorca.

It was not an easy game for the home team, Real Madrid.

Before the game, the main center forward Ibrahimovic was out due to injury and will be out for half a month at the earliest, Robben and Kaka were rotated again, and the combination of Yang Yang, Higuain, Di Maria and David Silva was discharged in the front.

Since the start of the game, Real Madrid have been attacking Real Mallorca fiercely, but they have not been able to open the situation for a long time.

Until the 61st minute of the second half, David Silva kicked straight into the left edge of the penalty area, Yang Yang burst into the left edge of the penalty area to receive the ball, first picked up the central defender Ramis, and hit a curling ball with his right foot, which hung directly in the upper right corner of the goal.

1 to 0!

It was the only goal of the game.

Real Madrid narrowly beat Real Mallorca by one goal at home.

Barcelona also sat at the Camp Nou in this round, ushered in Racing Santander, Messi made a pass and a shot, helping Barcelona defeat the opponent 3-0 and get three points again.

Barça's passing and possession have been too consistent this season.

……

In midweek, the second leg of the Copa del Rey quarterfinals is played.

Real Madrid away to Atletico Madrid.

Injured or rotated, Real Madrid still failed to face the Sheets with the strongest main lineup.

Flores' side started the game aggressively and effectively, and they had no choice, and the 3-1 defeat on the road made it necessary for them to win at home.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, counterattacked steadily, and in the 23rd minute, McCone inserted a cross from the right side, and Yang Yang grabbed ahead of Perea, grabbed the point and pushed the shot, scoring the only goal of the game.

1-0, 4-1 on aggregate, Real Madrid successfully eliminated Atletico Madrid and advanced to the semifinals of the Copa del Rey.

At the same time, Barcelona defeated Real Betis 5-0 in the first leg and lost 3-1 away in the second leg, but still advanced to the semi-finals 6-3.

After the draw, Real Madrid met Sevilla and Barcelona met Almeria.

At least from the point of view of signing, Real Madrid is still quite back.

But after learning the results of the draw, Yang Yang, who has always been low-key and rarely interviewed by the media, rarely accepted an exclusive interview with the Marca newspaper, in which Yang Yang confidently said that the team has enough strength and confidence to win any opponent.

'I would say that it's just over the halfway point of La Liga, everything is still unknown, and we have a home game against Barcelona, which is worth three points, and in some cases we are only six points behind Barcelona.

Yang Yang's words reflect his strong confidence in the team's home win against Barcelona.

"The Copa del Rey and the Champions League will be our focus and we want to win more trophies and honours."

Yang Yang also said that Real Madrid will not be afraid of any opponent, no matter how lucky the draw is, there is only one final result.

"We will defeat all the opponents who stand in our way, any one!"

……

At the weekend, the twenty-first round of La Liga. Real Madrid take on Osasuna away.

Benitez made a rare change to the team's starting line-up, and he pushed Yang Yang up front.

Left winger Angel Di Maria, right winger Arjen Robben, Kaka, Mascherano and Xavi Alonso form the midfield.

Yang Yang has not played in the middle of the front field for a long time, and directly faced the opponent's central defender, which made him a little uncomfortable, but soon, after half an hour of running-in, both him and Real Madrid are getting better.

In the 39th minute, McCone sent a low cross from the right, and Yang Yang easily pushed it in front of the goal, opening the scoring for Real Madrid and also scoring his eighteenth La Liga goal of the season.

After the rematch in the second half, Kaka also sent a through ball to Yang Yang to help him push the goal in the penalty area, and scored a brace, 2-0.

Just four minutes later, Mascherano made a steal and passed behind him, Yang Yang quickly stepped in and shot from the edge of the penalty area, the ball went past the attacking goalkeeper Ricardo and fell into the goal behind him, 3-0.

Hat-trick!

In the end, Real Madrid relied on Yang Yang's hat trick to defeat Osasuna 3-0 and avenge the second round of the season.

And in this round, Barcelona defeated Hercules 3-0 away, and Messi scored a brace.

After 21 rounds, Real Madrid is still nine points behind Barcelona.

With two goals in this round, Messi leads the La Liga scorer list with 23 goals, and Yang Yang is close behind with 20 goals.

Cristiano Ronaldo, who is far away at Manchester United in the Premier League, scored 22 goals.

Anyone can see that this season's European Golden Boot will still be born between these three superstars, but the real surprise is Yang Yang, because he has played more than two months less than his opponent and more than a dozen rounds of league games.

From his comeback at the end of November to the end of January, in just two months, Yang Yang has chased 20 goals, which can be described as crazy, even the most critical media in the world have to give him a thumbs up.

Even the Argentine Ole newspaper said that Messi needs to work hard if he wants to win the Golden Boot.

After playing 21 rounds of the league, Marca Bao declared war on behalf of Yang Yang in a high-profile manner.

"Guys, are you ready?"

"Yang Yang is back!"

……

In midweek, in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, Real Madrid visited the Estadio Pizjuán to take on Sevilla.

In the seventeenth minute of the game, David Silva made a beautiful wall-hitting cooperation with Yang Yang in a small area on the left side of the penalty area, Yang Yang received the ball in the penalty area, and easily shook off Sevilla's two central defenders Escud and Alexis, and easily pushed the shot into the upper left corner of the small penalty area, 1-0.

It was also the only goal of the game.

Real Madrid once again relied on Yang Yang's goal to defeat Sevilla.

Real Madrid will reach the Copa del Rey final as long as they return unbeaten at the Bernabeu.

……

At the weekend, in the 22nd round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Real Sociedad.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic returned from injury, and Real Madrid's attacking combination was once again formed.

Just eight minutes into the game, Arjen Robben dribbled inside to attract firepower, McContau cut in a low cross to the right side of the box, and Kaka cut in and fired home to open the scoring for Real Madrid.

In the 21st minute, a diagonal pass from Kaka, Yang Yang won the ball on the left side and shook past the defenders, cut inside to the front of the penalty area, and suddenly shot with his right foot, hitting the lower right corner, expanding the score to 2-0.

Before the end of the first half, it was another cross from McCone on the right, Ibrahimovic's header was ferried to the back post, and Yang Yang's header from eight meters in front of the goal hit the goal, and the ball was pushed into the goal of Real Sociedad again, 3-0.

After the rematch in the second half, Yang Yang continued to maintain a good performance.

Because he knew that before Real Madrid's game, Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 3-0 at home, Messi scored a hat trick, and if he didn't want to be pulled away by Messi, Yang Yang still needed to score another goal.

And that goal came quickly.

In the 52nd minute, Kaka went straight to the plug, and Yang Yang hit the near corner with his left foot in the penalty area, 4-0!

Hat-trick!

Not long after, Yang Yang was replaced by Di Maria, and in the 89th minute, Ibrahimovic, who played the whole game, finally scored his own goal, Di Maria passed the ball on the left, and the Swedish center forward pushed the goal near the penalty spot, 5-0.

Real Madrid beat Real Sociedad by five goals at home!

……

In midweek, in the second leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals, Real Madrid took on Sevilla at the Bernabeu.

Although Real Madrid won by one goal away from home, it stands to reason that the home team only needs to keep a draw to qualify, but Real Madrid still played very actively, taking the initiative to attack, and in the fifth minute, David Silva split the ball to the right, Di Maria's powerful volley from the right side rebounded at the post, and Ibrahimovic's close-range shot hit the goalkeeper.

Fortunately, the ball rebounded again, and Yang Yang picked up a big bargain, almost pushing the empty goal, 1-0.

Sevilla then started to push and they needed to score two goals to have a chance.

But in the 31st minute, Ibrahimovic and Di Maria cooperated, passed diagonally to the middle of the penalty area, and Yang Yang scored with a single push in front of the goal, 2-0.

In the second half, in the 70th minute, David Silva crossed diagonally to the left side of the penalty area in the middle, Yang Yang followed the header back to the middle, and Ibrahimovic pushed the goal three meters in front of the goal, 3-0.

Then, in the 82nd minute, Xavi Alonso made a direct pass, and David Silva shook goalkeeper Ballas with a single knife and pushed the empty goal to further extend the score to 4-0.

In stoppage time, Arbeloa crossed from the right, Ibrahimovic chested the ball in the front of the small penalty area, turned and volleyed the goal, locked the score at 5-0.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Sevilla 5-0 at home, eliminated the opponent with an aggregate score of 6-0, and successfully advanced to the Copa del Rey final.

……

Since the turn of the millennium, Real Madrid have reached the Copa del Rey final twice, in 2002 and 2004, with Bosque and Queiroz respectively, only to lose on both occasions.

The first was a 2-1 defeat to Deportivo La Coruna, which coincided with Real Madrid's centenary celebrations, and Bosque's side unfortunately lost to Deportivo La Coruna, which led to Florentino almost announcing Bosque's death sentence on the spot, but Bosque later renewed his life with a Champions League victory.

Real Madrid have never taken the Copa del Rey too seriously, and they are more focused on La Liga and the Champions League.

In any case, it is a good thing to be able to reach the Copa del Rey final in the face of the increasingly difficult reversal of Barcelona in La Liga, and the fans at the Bernabeu Stadium were also jubilant after the team's 5-0 win over Sevilla.

The only hidden danger is that in the other stadium, Barcelona beat Almeria 5-0 at home and 3-0 away to advance to the final with an aggregate score of 8-0.

In terms of record, Barcelona are undoubtedly better than Real Madrid.

Florentino and his senior staff sat in the stand at the Bernabeu and watched the game until the final whistle.

The Real Madrid president frowned, his face full of worry, and it was obvious that he was in trouble.

And his eyes never took off Yang Yang, who was celebrating the victory with his teammates on the court.
