The first two giants of La Liga performed averagely, Real Madrid won one and drew one, Barcelona won one and lost one, while Atletico Madrid performed very eye-catching, winning two consecutive victories and winning 7-0 in the first round.

People's attitudes towards Atletico have changed, and the three major European gambling companies have also adjusted the odds of Atletico winning the tournament from 1:5.75 to 1:4.50.

At the top of the list is of course the two-time champions Barcelona, whose odds to win the title are 1:2.11, and Real Madrid's odds to win the title are 1:2.79.

After the second round, people will focus on the third round, and the focus of this round of the game is, of course, Atletico Madrid's home game against Barcelona!

The media have expressed their opinions, with the Madrid regional media believing that Atletico have a better chance of winning at home, with Marca saying: "Through two games, we have been able to get a first glimpse of Simeone's tactics, and he has taken high pressing to the extreme.

Barcelona is a different style that has developed passing to the extreme. The collision between the two teams is the collision of two extreme playing styles, and it is a very interesting game.

The UEFA Super Cup '09 gave us hope of Atletico Madrid's victory over Barcelona, as long as Atletico can interrupt Barca's fluid rhythm and seize a few opportunities to counter-attack in front, the balance of victory will tilt in their favor!

Come on, Atletico! ”

The newspaper said: "Wang, this is your first meeting with Messi in La Liga, and this game is your home stadium, are you not willing to end this game with a win?"

Come on! King! ”

Barça's mouthpiece, Le Monde Sport, encouraged Barça: "There is nothing to be afraid of a defeat, there is no unbeaten team on the football pitch and the most important task for Barça now is to beat Atletico Madrid at the weekend."

Atletico Madrid have won two in a row and their morale is high, Barcelona can't underestimate them, they must be taken as seriously as Real Madrid, and pick them off away from home!

In this way, Barcelona can get back into the title race. ”

Before the game even began, the battle between the media had already begun. More media began to discuss whether Wang Rui is good or Messi is good, the British media is of course on Wang Rui's side, while the Catalan and Argentine media are on Messi's side.

On the morning of the 15th, after Atletico Madrid's training, Wang Rui was surrounded by the media, and a reporter spoke out about the media's controversy and asked him what he thought about the discussion.

"Who's better? In fact, everything was understood after the game, and this kind of discussion didn't make much sense. ”

The reporters looked at each other, and no matter how you look at it, it sounded like a mockery of the media......

The British media don't think so, they think Wang Rui is a sign of great confidence.

Obviously, the collision between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona has attracted the attention of fans and media all over the world, and as the game time approaches, media from all over the world have come to Madrid!

This makes Atletico Madrid fans extremely proud, and in the past, only the Spanish derby between Real Madrid and Barcelona attracted so much media attention.

Real Madrid fans are sour, which invisibly adds pressure to Real Madrid.

At nine o'clock in the evening of the 18th, at the Anoeta Stadium, the match between Real Madrid and Espanyol, which was under great pressure, started.

The Spaniards, with their tenacity, withstood Real Madrid's onslaught and ended the first half with a score of 0-0. Shortly after the start of the second half, Di Maria, who had just joined Real Madrid this season, broke the deadlock.

In the sixth minute of the second half, German midfielder Mesut Ozil passed, Di Maria burst into the left side of the penalty area 18 meters and curled the ball with his right foot, and the football drew a wonderful arc in the air and flew into the net from the upper right corner of the goal!

1 to 0!

The goal sparked a greater enthusiasm for Real Madrid's attack, and they launched a more fierce attack on the Spaniard, who responded calmly.

In the seventeenth minute of the second half, Espanyol got a free kick opportunity in front, Griezmann kicked the ball to the back post, Carvalho was not tight, and Tamudo blocked the ball into the door with his thigh from close range!

One-to-one!

The tenacious Spaniards equalised!

Real Madrid's attack became more and more fierce, they did not want to get two consecutive draws away from home in the new season, and in the 29th minute of the second half, Real Madrid won a free kick in front.

Cristiano Ronaldo took the penalty himself, and the ball hit Pepe, who bowed his head in the wall, and bounced into the far corner in a different direction!

It was the Portuguese star's first goal in La Liga this season.

With Cristiano Ronaldo's goal, Real Madrid withstood the huge pressure and defeated Espanyol with a score of 2-1, achieving their first away win of the season and two consecutive wins.

Speaking in the mixed interview area after the game, Ronaldo said: "We are on the right track, we have regained confidence under Jose Mourinho.

We are still the top contenders for the La Liga title! ”

Some people think that the Portuguese are challenging Wang Rui and Messi, while others think that the Portuguese are jealous of the match between Barcelona and Real Madrid has attracted so much media attention.

……

On the 19th, the atmosphere of the great battle enveloped the city of Madrid.

If you had been in previous seasons, there would have been no such tension.

Because if they win this game, Atletico Madrid will take a solid step in the battle for the La Liga title!

Because Atletico Madrid's goal this season is to win La Liga!

In order to win the La Liga title, Barcelona and Real Madrid are two hurdles that must be overcome.

The greater the hope, the greater the pressure and the more intense.

At 10 o'clock in the morning, Barcelona's special plane landed at Madrid International Airport, and when they walked out of the aisle, they were surrounded by a crowd of reporters, and Guardiola said with a serious expression: "The last home defeat brought us a lot of pressure, and Atletico Madrid's strength in the first two rounds is surprising.

Tonight was a tough game for us and we were ready for 90 minutes against Atletico.

I hope we can walk away with a win at Calderón! ”

Speaking about defending against Wang, Guardiola said: "There is no doubt that Wang is the focus of our defence, whether it is in the Premier League last season or the first two rounds of this season, it has proved that he is very important to the team. ”

I don't know whether it was unintentional or intentional, the Barcelona coach forgot about the World Cup in South Africa.

At this moment, Messi encountered a problem, and a British media criticized him: "What kind of player is Wang in your mind?" ”

This is La Liga, where Messi became famous, La Liga is the home stadium for Messi, and Wang Rui is more like an outsider.

The Argentine's brow furrowed, a difficult question to answer.

'It doesn't matter what I think, I think people already have their own opinions in their minds and for me he's a very strong opponent.

Messi didn't want to say more, and wanted to leave the media after saying this, but the media didn't want him to leave so soon.

Pique said to the media while protecting Messi: "This is La Liga, not the Premier League, not the World Cup, Wang will be completely frozen by us tonight!"

The scene of the World Cup final will not be repeated, and I am here for revenge tonight! (To be continued.) )
