Four to zero!

When the score was born at the Glory Stadium in Southampton, it quickly spread around the world at an incredible rate.

Fans all over the world were stunned.

It would not be a surprise that Zidane's Real Madrid will lose, given that this is Southampton's home turf.

But no one thought that Real Madrid would lose so badly and so embarrassed.

Four goals, two for Suarez, one for Messi and one for Di Maria, and the Saints performed well up and down.

This surprised all the fans, and at the same time they were all sighing.

Looking at the crazy momentum and amazing form of the Saints this season, it may be difficult to stop them!

At least, after this game, Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane said in his post-match press conference that it would be very difficult for Real Madrid to turn the tables at home.

'It was undoubtedly a game that I didn't expect, we were well prepared but ...... It's a big blow, even away from home, but it's hard to accept losing such an important game in this way. ”

'Neither I nor the players will be happy with the result of this game, but the most important thing for us now is not to dwell on it, we need to put in the preparation for the next game, no matter how difficult it is, we will not give up on the second leg.'

'I could have expected the criticism and the criticism we would have after the game, but I would say that Real Madrid will not be beaten easily, we can always pull off miracles at the Bernabeu and I believe this time will be the same.

When asked by media reporters whether the reason for the loss of this game was related to the arrangement, Zidane said that he would take all the responsibility.

"My team and I will find a solution as soon as possible to avoid the same thing from happening again in the second leg, and I would like to say that I am happy with the current players, I will not doubt the team's style of play because of this defeat, I will stick to this style."

Regarding the opponent of this match, Southampton, Zidane said, "The Saints are at their peak, they are making their own history, they will be a great team. ”

However, Zidane also said, "No matter how great a team is, it is not invincible, we have found a way to restrain the opponent, and in the second leg, we will not let the opponent play so easily as we did today." ”

But no matter how tactful Zidane was in his post-match press conference, the next day, almost all the world's media newspapers reported on the game, and without exception, almost all of them pronounced Real Madrid's death sentence in advance.

After losing 0-4 away and wanting to turn the tables around at home, Real Madrid would have to score four goals and ensure that Southampton could not score, which is undoubtedly difficult for Real Madrid, who performed so badly in the first leg.

Even the Spanish newspaper Marca, which is close to Real Madrid, made a headline on the front page with the sinking of the Galaxy Battleship, arguing that Real Madrid would no longer be able to make a difference in the Champions League.

The Spanish newspaper believes that the Champions League is the only place where Real Madrid can make a difference after falling behind their rivals in La Liga and having been knocked out of the Copa del Rey early.

However, with a 4-0 defeat to Southampton in the first leg, Real Madrid were almost eliminated from the tournament early.

Marca also pointed out in its commentary that the gap between Real Madrid and Southampton is all-encompassing.

"There is no doubt that Ancelotti's tactics in this game completely suppressed Zidane, and the Saints' players crushed Real Madrid both in terms of overall strength and overall team cooperation, and the score of 0-4 basically represents the performance of both sides on the field."

"But this game is not a disaster, what Real Madrid should do now is to reflect, to reflect on their own business in the past few years, and then to plan the direction of the team's development in the next few years."

Marca also pointed out that "with the Premier League's financial resources soaring and purchasing power greatly increased, Real Madrid's attraction to top stars is much less than before, and Neymar's switch to Barcelona and his attempts to bring in superstars such as Suarez and Aguero have been frustrated, which are very good proof." ”

"In the absence of attraction to top stars, what Real Madrid really need to do is be pragmatic and think seriously about how to build this team into a cohesive whole, rather than looking like it is now."

"Perhaps, the time has come for us to reflect on the superstar policy!"

It's not just Marca, in Spain there are not a few voices calling for Real Madrid to reflect.

After the game, Real Madrid fans protested, demanding that the club's management take responsibility for the incident, and at the same time demanding Florentino's resignation.

On the other hand, the British media gave a very high evaluation of Southampton's performance, believing that the Saints are still not lacking in ambition after two consecutive championships, and they are the most promising team to win three consecutive championships this season.

And the strength of the Saints has also directly brought the admiration and attention of fans around the world to this team.

In the same top half, in the other quarter-final knockout game at the same time, Jurgen Klopp's Inter Milan challenged Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich away.

This match was also another high-profile match before the game, and it was also the first time Klopp faced Bayern Munich since leaving Dortmund.

As a result, the two sides played to a 2-2 draw at the Allianz Arena in Munich.

This is also something that no one expected.

Jurgen Klopp's pitch was dominated by the opposition from the start, frequently using Felipe Anderson and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang on the wings to create a problem, attacking Bayern Munich's two wings, and the two full-backs Darmian and Alex Sandro were also actively involved in the attack.

That is, with the excellent performance of the two wings, Inter Milan took a 2-0 lead in the first half thanks to goals from Morata and Aubameyang.

However, Pep Guardiola made changes in the second half and quickly counter-attacked, with Thomas Muller and Arjen Robben scoring in quick succession to equalise.

But the score of the first leg of 2-2 is also a pretty good result for Inter Milan.

Jurgen Klopp said with a smile after the game that the team will wait for Bayern Munich at Inter Milan's Glory Stadium.

This scumbag looks as if he has a chance to win.

After the game, the German media also commented, believing that Bayern Munich's biggest problem is that the team has empty possession, but it cannot be converted into a threat, especially after the sale of Lewandowski, the team's wings Robben and Ribery are aging, the introduction of players can not meet the needs of the team, and it is somewhat a bit of a feeling that there is no successor.

With two away goals given to Inter at home, Bayern Munich's situation is undoubtedly quite dangerous.

But even more dangerous are the internal contradictions that come from Bayern Munich.

Kicker magazine revealed that the contradiction between Bayern Munich's technical director Summerr and the current head coach Pep Guardiola has long been known to passers-by, and the two have not even had any communication and communication.

"Bayern Munich and Guardiola have a different dream, which has long been known in the German football circle, and the conflict and contradiction between Sommer and Guardiola has long been no secret, and there is even news that if Guardiola's Bayern Munich is eliminated by Inter Milan in the Champions League, Bayern Munich does not even rule out the possibility of sacking Guardiola early."

"The conflict between the management and the head coach has also made Bayern Munich panic and affected the team's preparation and games."

In the bottom half of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid beat Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 at home, and although they gave the Ligue 1 squad an away goal, the road to promotion was undoubtedly much smoother.

Simeone's side were quite dominant in this game, with three goals from Antoine Griezmann, Isco and Koke impressive, while Paris Saint-Germain were inferior to the Bianconeri both on the pitch and in the scoreline.

As for Monaco and Hamburg, it ended with Monaco beating Monaco 3-1 at home.

Tuchel's European results have not been ideal, having led Mainz to the Europa League twice, only to have failed to qualify for both occasions and not even qualify for the main event, which has contributed to Tuchel's lack of European experience.

Hamburg's ability to emerge in the group stage this season has a lot to do with Manchester United and CSKA Moscow's own poor performance and sluggish performances, and in the knockout round of 16, it was Anderlecht who met Anderlecht, and Tuchel's side were not tested too much.

In this game against Ronald Koeman's Monaco, Tuchel's side met a strong team in the last eight of Europe, and the 1-3 defeat away was basically normal.

In the words of the German media, both Hamburg and Tuchel need to level up.

Thankfully, Hamburg is on the younger side of the pack and Tuchel still has plenty of time.

It's like Dortmund led by Klopp back then, wasn't it the first season that was ravaged, and the second season was directly bursting?

In contrast, Tuchel's Champions League debut season in the quarter-finals was already impressive.

Who would dare to say that next season's Hamburg will not be able to continue to perform on this basis?

Ronald Koeman's Monaco have been quite solid this season indeed.

On the offensive end, the team's Mexican striker Hernandez was introduced, and as soon as he entered the team, he played an amazing scoring momentum, and his performance was not lost to the team's number one center Mitrovic.

With the introduction of Schneiderlin and Wanyama in midfield, the quality of the entire midfield is better than before.

Koeman's excellent ability to adjust players and rich European experience have allowed Monaco to play steadily in the European arena, and they are also firmly pressing Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1.

What's even more rare is that Koeman, while achieving excellent results, has also produced stars such as Kondogbia, Zouma, Marquinhos, Kurzava, Mitrovic, Towan and Fekir by the way.

This season has also seen the emergence of a great winger like Carrasco, and Monaco's star-making ability has been impressive.

Originally, many French media were expecting that if Paris Saint-Germain could beat Atletico Madrid and Monaco could beat Hamburg, the Ligue 1 giants would reach the Champions League semifinals.

However, once the first leg of the quarter-finals is over, Monaco has a chance to reach the semi-finals, but Paris Saint-Germain is estimated to be out of play.

With the fresh release of the results of the first leg of the Champions League quarterfinals, major bookmakers have also adjusted their odds, and fans around the world are also happy and worried.

It should be said that compared with the balance of the other three games, the big score victory over Real Madrid made the Saints seem to stand out a little, which also made fans and media reporters around the world once again exclaim, thinking that there should be a team to stand up and snipe the Saints, otherwise, the game will completely become a personal show for the Saints.
