In the match at the Stade Glory in Madrid, the Bed Legion finally beat Barcelona 2-0 thanks to two goals from Antoine Griezmann and Koke, and Isco was voted Man of the Match with his outstanding performance.

This not only thrilled the entire Arena of Glory and fans around the world, but also surprised the Spanish media, who were surprised to find that Atletico Madrid was ready to challenge Barcelona and Real Madrid head-on.

Even, this season, the Sheets have won both games against Real Madrid and Barcelona.

With the victory in this game, Atletico Madrid finally reversed Barcelona and successfully topped the La Liga standings.

In his post-match press conference, head coach Simeone was full of praise for the team's performance, especially for Isco, who considered the player's performance to be the best in La Liga.

But at the same time, Simeone has repeatedly said that Atletico Madrid should not be satisfied with this, the team still has a lot of potential to explore, and should not stop there.

'Yes, we're the defending champions and it's a fantastic thing for us to be back at the top of the league.

'But I want the players to be aware that when we're second in the table and we're in the lead, it's a different situation.

"When we beat Real Madrid and Barcelona and occupy the league lead, all the teams will target us, but it's not terrible, what is terrible is that we have lost the opponent we are chasing in front of us, we have lost the goal of catching up, we can only use our own limits and peaks as a benchmark, continue to surpass, and break through ourselves."

"When you're content to be a leader, that's when you're outpaced by your competitors."

"I will do my best to make all the players forget this game and play every game!"

Simeone's words at the post-match press conference were very calm and rational, and they were unanimously recognized and affirmed by La Liga professionals.

Because now for Atletico Madrid, the league is not even halfway through and it is far from the time to celebrate.

On the other hand, Barcelona, after losing the battle of Tianwang Mountain, Enrique was disappointed with the team's performance, and for Neymar, who was alone after losing Messi, Enrique expressed his understanding, and also admitted that the team's loss of Messi was a big loss, but he did not think that the team would lose the competition for the La Liga title.

Barcelona's management was also quick to make the decision to stabilize the team, which was to further strengthen the squad during the winter break.

This is also understood by the outside world as a signal that Barcelona will throw a lot of money into the transfer market during the winter break.

With the battle for the top spot in La Liga coming to an end, the UEFA Champions League has once again ignited the flames.

Atletico Madrid travels to Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Bundesliga.

In this group of death, Simeone's Sheets are not inferior to La Liga.

Borussia Mönchengladbach was pushed 3-0 into despair in the opening game of the group, then beat Roma 2-0 away, and then knocked Manchester City 2-1 and 3-1 at home in the third and fourth rounds respectively.

Having won all four games, Simeone's team topped the group and qualified proudly.

Relatively speaking, Manchester City won their first two games but lost the next two rounds to Atletico Madrid, resulting in the Blues sitting second in the group with six points, Roma in third and Borussia Mönchengladbach in fourth.

In the fifth round of the group stage, when Atletico Madrid had already qualified from the group ahead of schedule, Simeone arranged a semi-main lineup to play, but away from home, he fell behind by one goal in the first half.

However, in the second half, Simeone adjusted his tactics, and the team regrouped, and soon reversed Borussia Mönchengladbach 2-1 with goals from Diego Costa and Tevez, providing assists for two players, Alex Teixeira and Raphinha.

Manchester City beat Roma 1-0 away thanks to Aboubakar's goal.

As a result, Borussia Mönchengladbach finished bottom of the table, lost the right to qualify from the group, and even struggled to finish third in the group, while Roma would find it difficult to shake Manchester City's second place in the group.

Back in La Liga, Atletico Madrid took advantage of the morale of beating Barcelona to sit at the Stade de la Glory again, beating Espanyol 4-0 at home thanks to Antoine Griezmann's brace and goals from Isco and Willian.

Not only that, but a week later, away to Granada, the Sheets beat Granada 2-0 thanks to goals from Jose Jimenez and Antoine Griezmann.

Two victories that firmly defended the position of the leader of the league with Atletico Madrid.

On the other hand, Barcelona, although in the thirteenth round, won with Neymar's goal, but in the fourteenth round, it unexpectedly drew 1-1 with Valencia away.

In this way, the point gap between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona has widened from the original three points to five points.

With this five-point gap, the leader of the Sheets Army can be regarded as sitting firmly.

As for Real Madrid, although it is also two consecutive wins, the gap in points was a bit big before, and it is difficult to catch up for the time being.

Not only in La Liga, but also in the Champions League, Atletico Madrid played in the last round with a full bench lineup, but they still beat Roma 1-0 at home, and the teenager Correa assisted Munir to score.

Manchester City, on the other hand, beat Hingladbach 4-2 at home to join the Sheets in progressing from the group.

In the other group, Southampton secured the top spot in the group early, and although Carlo Ancelotti also played as a substitute in the next two rounds, no one expected that the Saints would perform better.

First, they beat Juventus 4-2 away in the fifth round, and then beat Wolfsburg 8-0 at home in the sixth round.

In these two crazy goalscoring games, Harry Kane shone brightly, scoring a total of three goals, with players such as Sturridge, Anthony Martial and Ravel Morrison all showing considerable quality.

This also surprised fans all over the world to see that the Saints, even the bench lineup, were so strong, that the whole of Europe was amazed and impressed by the outstanding strength of the Saints.

In the end, in this group, Southampton and Paris Saint-Germain qualified first and second respectively in the group, Juventus ranked third, and Wolfsburg had to be eliminated in regret.

If Southampton and Paris Saint-Germain in Group A were in danger, then the results in Group B were a big surprise, especially for Manchester United.

Manchester United suffered a surprise defeat to Ajax in the first round of the group stage, with Brazilian striker Luis Adriano impressive, but in the second round, United won Thomas Tuchel's Hamburg without danger.

The score was 2-1, with Manchester United narrowly winning and Hamburg losing a bit frustratingly.

Thomas Tuchel's side were at odds with Manchester United on the pitch, but they fell behind.

Lessons learned, Tuchel's side soon won 2-0 at Ajax in the third round of civil competition.

But De Boer's side, when they returned to their home stadium in the fourth round, did the opposite, killing Hamburg 2-0.

The two civil wars made Yang Huan feel distressed, why was he so anxious to fry each other.

On the other hand, Manchester United, in the third and fourth rounds, faced CSKA Moscow, with one win and one draw, and the performance was very stable.

However, in the fifth round, Hamburg challenged CSKA Moscow away, and the result was no danger, and the safe 2-0 knocked the Russian giants off the horse, laying a foundation for their group qualification.

Manchester United, on the other hand, sat at Old Trafford and were forced to score 0-0 by Ajax.

At the end of the fifth round, Hamburg topped the group with nine points, Manchester United finished second with eight points, Ajax third with seven points and CSKA Moscow finished fourth with four points.

In other words, in the final round, at the People's Park Stadium, Manchester United faced Hamburg, and in the absence of an advantage in goal difference, Giggs's team could only give it a chance to win.

As it turned out, United's attacking effort did work wonders, opening the scoring after just seven minutes.

But three minutes later, when United had not recovered from the excitement of scoring, Dzeko's goal equalized for Hamburg and brought the score back to 1-1.

In the 34th minute, Gotze's goal put Hamburg in the lead.

This made Manchester United almost crazy in the second half, and Hamburg were forced to retreat.

However, in the 72nd minute, Hamburg's young centre-back Tach mishandled a cross from the wing, resulting in an own goal that gave United the chance to equalise.

But just when Manchester United's morale was high and they wanted to swallow the Hamburg team in one go, Douglas Costa forced a breakthrough on the side and knocked back in front of the baseline.

In the end, Hamburg won 3-2 at home to Manchester United and kicked the Red Devils out of the Europa League.

In the other game, Ajax reversed CSKA Moscow 2-1 thanks to two goals from Luis Adriano and Bernard after conceding a goal first.

As a result, Hamburg and Ajax joined hands to qualify from the group.

This surprised Yang Huan.

Because he originally thought that Manchester United would definitely occupy one of the qualifying places, but he did not expect that whether it was Hamburg or Ajax, they would not fall behind at all when facing the Red Devils.

As for CSKA Moscow, it was completely overwhelmed by the three powers.

In Group C, Benfica safely followed Real Madrid and qualified as the second in the group.

In Group D, Barcelona qualified with Zenit St. Petersburg.

In Group E, Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur qualified from the group.

Group F is Atletico Madrid and Manchester City, and Group G is Monaco and PSV Eindhoven.

But it was the H group that was surprising.

If Jurgen Klopp's Inter Milan came out top of Group H as no surprise, Anderlecht surprised everyone by finishing second against Valencia and Lyon.

But if you consider that Belgium has produced a lot of talent in recent years, Anderlecht's qualification is not worth making a fuss.

After the Champions League group stage, Yang Huan calculated that his team was surprised that all of them qualified from the group stage without exception, except for those who were eliminated in the qualifiers in advance.

Inter Milan, Anderlecht, Southampton, Hamburg, Ajax, Benfica, Atletico Madrid and Monaco, among the sixteen knockout teams, Yang Huan's team occupies half of the country.

That's unbelievable, isn't it?

However, this soon led to another problem, which was the knockout grouping.

With the first group against the second in the group, coupled with the principle of avoidance by the same country, there is no doubt that there will definitely be a situation of playing in the same room in the knockout round.

Although this is a bit cruel, at least, in Yang Huan's opinion, this is also a good thing.

At the very least, if you're really in the same room, at least one team can make the cut, right?
