Chapter 512 Qualifying ahead of schedule

Atletico Madrid face stiff competition in La Liga, but when it comes to the Champions League, they look like they have no problem qualifying in a group of death.

In fact, after the third round of the league, Atletico Madrid is already close to qualifying early.

At the end of the last round of the group stage, the other game in the group was Bayern Munich away to Napoli, at the Sao Paulo Stadium, Napoli almost overturned Bayern Munich, the game went until injury time, Napoli still led 2-1, but in the end Thomas Muller seized a wide cross and smashed the ball into the goal at the front post to help Bayern Munich win a draw.

In this way, after three rounds of group stage matches, Atletico Madrid won all three games and scored nine points, Bayern Munich won one win, drew one and lost one in three stops, and ranked second with four points, Napoli ranked third with two draws and one loss, and Manchester City ranked fourth with one draw and two losses.

In the last three rounds of the group stage, as long as Atletico Madrid is not defeated three times in a row, even if they only get one point, they can basically ensure qualification.

......

At the end of October's fixtures, Atletico Madrid are still unbeaten in October, extending their unbeaten run in the league to 48 games, just one game away from surpassing Arsenal's record.

Gao Bo also recently received a record-breaking mission, but this mission reward is not too ideal in Gao Bo's opinion. Aside from some XP, all that's left are some training cards.

Gao Bo is now looking forward to whether the team will be able to complete another big task if the team breaks AC Milan's unbeaten record of 58 league games.

The team's form in the Champions League is very good, which also makes the upcoming Champions League home games even more exciting for fans.

On November 3, the first match of November, the fourth round of Group A of the Champions League group stage, Atletico Madrid hosted Manchester City.

Both the fans, as well as the Spanish media, are quite optimistic about this match.

In the away game, you can beat Manchester City 3-0, and when it comes to your home stadium, is this not a hand-to-hand capture?

Atletico Madrid's players thought the same thing, but when it came to the game, they realized that the game was not that simple.

No game can be easy, especially when the players have the mentality of underestimating the enemy.

When Gomez latched on to Adam Johnson's wide cross and headed the ball into the Atletico Madrid goal, the jubilant crowd in the stands died down.

Manchester city... Scored!

The conceded goal sent Gao Bo into a thunderous explosion on the sidelines.

"In the 43rd minute of the game, it was Manchester City who scored first. Atletico Madrid need to be careful, look at Gobo's reaction on the sidelines, they will definitely be served by the manager's hair dryer when they return to the dressing room! ”

Commentator Aduris said from the commentary seat.

Perhaps because Atletico Madrid is not under much pressure to qualify, and the opponent is Manchester City, who just suffered a heavy defeat at their home stadium last week, so the players have not been able to lift their spirits in this game.

It was a goal that sent City's players in celebration for a long time, and when the game resumed, the first half was already in stoppage time.

There was a minute of stoppage time in the first half, but Gao Bo was no longer on the sidelines. He walked into the players' tunnel before the first half was over.

It doesn't look like he's worried at all if Atletico Madrid will concede a second goal in this minute....

The probability of Atletico Madrid conceding back-to-back goals is of course slim, and the probability of them equalising within a minute is negligible.

So when the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the score was 0-1.

The Manchester City players walked off the pitch with excited smiles on their faces and into the visiting dressing room. They were able to take a one-goal lead in the first half and in the second half they were able to dominate.

At halftime, Gao Bo was naturally quite dissatisfied with the underdog attitude shown by the players in the first half.

So in the past 15 minutes, Gao Bo basically didn't talk much about tactics, and he needed the players to have a correct attitude.

Underestimating the enemy is a big taboo on the football field, not to mention, the opponent is Manchester City, no matter what their current situation is, but the eleven starters they fielded, that is a first-class star level, they are undoubtedly a team with a luxurious squad.

For Manchester City, Roberto Mancini sees hope of a win at Calderjong.

In this round of games, Bayern Munich will face Napoli at home, Bayern Munich is still very likely to win, once Manchester City can win this game, they can overtake Napoli to third place, and then Manchester City if they can score six points on Bayern Munich and Napoli, Manchester City is not impossible to qualify for the second place in the group!

So, Manchester City need a win now.

So in the second half, one could see that Manchester City had set up a bus at the edge of the box.

They are now in a completely hands-off counter-attacking posture and it would be better if they could score on the counter-attack, and even if they couldn't, it would be a win if they could hold on to the one-goal lead.

In the face of the opponent's iron formation, Atletico Madrid has also been mentally prepared.

They pressed down and looked for gaps in the opposition defence at the edge of City's penalty area.

However, City's players are still very capable and when they are united and only want to keep the lead, it will be difficult for any team to break down their defence.

Atletico Madrid knew it was the 89th minute of the game before scoring a goal.

Antoine Griezmann was brought to the ground on the edge of the box before his free-kick went around the wall and into the corner.

Once again, Hart was breached by a world wave.

Hart's performance in this game can not be described as bad, he is the most important safety valve in the Manchester City defence, he is the most important safety valve in the Manchester City defence.

But his efforts came to naught before the end of the match.

The game soon came to an end, with Atletico Madrid's winning streak in the Champions League coming to an end in the summer.

Four games, three wins and one draw, get ten points!

Soon after, news came from another stadium.

Bayern Munich beat Napoli 3-2 at home.

Atletico Madrid got 10, Bayern Munich had seven, Napoli had two and Manchester City had one. There are still two games left in the group stage, even if Napoli wins all and Atletico Madrid loses, Napoli cannot overtake Atletico Madrid. In this way, Atletico Madrid has already qualified in advance.

However, for Atletico Madrid, it is not time to relax in the group stage, and they still need to retain their top spot in the group.

The next round is away to Bayern Munich, and as long as Atletico Madrid don't lose in this game, they can finish top of the group.

The rules for the Champions League group standings are, of course, to compare points first, and if the points are the same, it is to compare the relationship between the two teams with the same points.

If Atletico Madrid wins against Bayern Munich in the next round, it won't be a small score. If the two teams draw, both sides get one point each, Atletico Madrid is still three points ahead of Bayern Munich, even if Atletico Madrid loses in the last round, Bayern Munich wins, because the win-loss relationship between Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich is Atletico Madrid's advantage with one win and one draw, Bayern Munich can not grab the first place in the group even if it has the same points as Atletico Madrid.

Therefore, the goal of Atletico Madrid in the next round is at least not to lose at the Allianz Stadium.

"In Germany, in Munich, Atletico Madrid will undoubtedly be put to the test, but if they just don't want to lose, Atletico Madrid has a good chance of achieving it."

Speaking after the game, commentator Aduris said.
