Chapter 267: Ambition of League 2

　　 The result of the draw for the Champions League semi-final is out. The theme of this year is West Germany. The two major leagues are fighting each other.
　　 Such a draw result has also caused widespread discussion in the European media.
　　The battle between Bayern and Real Madrid, needless to say, can be said to be the battle between the two most influential giants in world football.
　　 And the two teams both performed very well in the European war. At the turn of the century more than ten years ago, both teams were very strong. At that time, the battle between Bayern and Real Madrid was called the European Derby.
But in general, Bayern is very dominant in terms of record, especially the last two Champions League encounters, when Bayern successfully eliminated Real Madrid, and the most recent one was the 1112 season two seasons ago, which happened to be in the Champions League. In the semifinals, Bayern eliminated Real Madrid in a penalty shootout at the Bernabéu.
　　 There is another point. Bayern has played against Real Madrid at home 10 times in the history of the team. The result is 9 wins and 1 tie, which is very tough.
　　 It is probably these data that make Bayern very confident, that it will not be a big problem to eliminate Real Madrid.
　　 Even the retired Grandpa Hai stepped up to make a move. "It's easy to play Real Madrid away first. As long as you don't lose too much at the Bernabeu, and then try to get away goals, you will be promoted naturally when you return to home."
　　 The statement of Father Hai doesn’t seem to take Real Madrid too much.
　　 Generally speaking, the media generally believe that the semi-finals between Bayern and Real Madrid are basically the finals ahead of schedule, and whoever wins enters the final to win the championship.
　　 Schalke on the other side played against Atletico, this group of finals is a dark horse battle.
　　 Regardless of Schalke or Atletico, they are considered to be the dark side of the Champions League.
In fact, Schalke has reached the Champions League semi-finals three times in four years. Such a performance can be said to be second only to Bayern and Real Madrid in the last four seasons. However, many people are still naturally preconceived and think that Schal Ke is not competitive in the Champions League and is a dark horse.
It may be that Schalke did not perform well in the previous two Champions League semi-final trips. The first time was a double defeat by Manchester United at home and away. The second time, although Bayern was defeated by one goal at home, it was the second round. Another miserable defeat.
　　 It is these performances that make the media generally believe that Schalke's overall strength is still not good, far from reaching the level that can impact the Champions League.
As for Atletico Madrid, they are the real super dark horses. They have performed well in both the Champions League and La Liga this season. The Champions League reached the semi-finals. The La Liga side has beaten Barcelona and Real Madrid at the top of the rankings. It looks like it is better than Schalke. To be fierce, is the trend toward the double crown.
　　Also, Atletico Madrid is still the same as Schalke in the Champions League. They have played a strong team all the way. They eliminated the seven-time champion AC Milan in the sixteenth and eliminated the former Cosmos team Barcelona in the eighth. The performance is really amazing.
　　 It is worth mentioning that Atletico Madrid is the only undefeated team left in the Champions League this season, and they have never lost a battle until now.
　　 is to combine these, so the media ranked Atletico ahead of Schalke in the ranking of strengths.
　　 And considering the historical record, Atletico Madrid is also fully dominant against Schalke. The two teams have encountered twice in the Champions League. Four games for Schalke are difficult to find. In the end, they were eliminated by a large score.
　　 Compared to the Champions League results, Atletico Madrid is also slightly better.
　　 This year is the third time Schalke has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, while Atletico Madrid is the fourth time in team history.
　　 Schalke only reached the Champions League semi-finals in 2011, and Atletico had reached the Champions League semi-finals as early as 1959, and it happened to step on Schalke in the quarterfinals.
　　 Schalke has never made it to the Champions League final, but Atletico has made it once.
　　 In general, both are dark horses, but Atletico Madrid seems to overtake Schalke in every aspect.
　　 In general, in this year’s Champions League semi-finals, Bayern has a small advantage against Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid has a small advantage against Schalke, so most people generally believe that Bayern will play Atletico in the final.
　　 It is worth mentioning that two teams in the Bundesliga have advanced to the Champions League semi-finals this season. This is the second time in the history of the Bundesliga.
　　 The last time was last season, the Bundesliga three teams entered the semi-finals.
　　 Both Bundesliga and La Liga are in the semi-finals, and they did not meet in advance to fight the civil war. In principle, both La Liga and Bundesliga have a chance to win this year's Champions League final.
　　 If there really is a win in the finals, whether it is La Liga or Bundesliga, it will be the second time in the history of the league, and it will also be the first time that a league has successfully won the Champions League final twice.
　　 There is also a point in the European War. The Premier League has all been eliminated. There is no Premier League team in the Champions League or the Europa League. On the Bundesliga side, Bayern and Schalke continue to fight in the Champions League.
　　 According to the latest European war points, if Schalke and Bayern can jointly get 6 European war points, the Bundesliga can surpass the Premier League in one fell swoop and become the second European league.
　　 The two teams teamed up to score 6 points. This task is not easy, because at present the UEFA Champions League semi-final stage has been reached, and each team has at most three games to play.
　　 The German media has already calculated for the two teams. If Bayern and Schalke can team up to win the finals, it will definitely be enough.
　　 If a team wants to reach the final from the semi-finals, the least points they can get is to advance after two consecutive draws, or advance after one win and one loss.
　　 Regardless of whether it is two consecutive draws or one win and one loss, you can get 2 points in the European war, plus 1 point for promotion to the finals, which is a total of 3 points.
　　 Both teams have successfully advanced to the finals. Naturally, they will get at least 6 points, plus at least 2 points will be generated in the finals. That's enough.
　　 It is worth mentioning that the European game points distribution in the Champions League final is that if a team wins the championship within 120 minutes, that is, the winning team gets 2 points and the other team does not score.
　　 If it is a penalty shoot-out after 120 minutes, the winner gets 2 points and the loser gets 1 point.
　　 Therefore, a Champions League final may generate 2 points, or 3 points.
　　 Although it is the ideal situation to win the finals, considering that Schalke's strength is weaker than Atletico Madrid, the German media also considered it separately.
　　 If Schalke is knocked out by Atletico Madrid, it will not get a point, and Bayern will need to score 6 points alone.
　　 Bayern must score 6 points alone, there are only two situations.
　　 One is to double-kill Real Madrid to advance to the final, and then ensure that they do not lose in the final 120 minutes, then enter the penalty shoot-out to take at least one point, just right.
　　 Two is one win and one draw to eliminate Real Madrid to advance to the final, and then must win the championship in the final, which is just enough.
　　 In short, the Bundesliga has been strong in these two consecutive seasons, and the German media are already planning to advance to the second league.
　　 For this reason, they also specially reminded Schalke that even if they really can't beat Atletico, they should try their best to grab some points, so as to lighten the burden for Bayern.
　　※※※
　　 The Champions League semi-finals will have to wait some time. Schalke must first consider the Bundesliga.
　　 On April 12, the 30th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke played against Frankfurt at home.
　　As the Champions League semi-finals will not arrive until after the 31st round of the league~EbookFREE.me~, this game, Schalke does not need to consider the issue of rotation for the time being.
　　 In addition, Schalke's points have already reached 68 points before. As long as he wins this round, Schalke will create a new Bundesliga points record of 71 points.
　　 The previous points record is actually the 70 points created last season. Although it is not comparable to Bayern's 91 points record, it is still a record anyway. It is still a record to win.
In addition, Bayern will face the Hornets at home in this round of the league. The South Kings have already lost two consecutive rounds in the Bundesliga. Maybe they will continue to lose points, so Schalke will go all out to see if he can continue to recover some points. .
　　 Based on these considerations, Schalke will strive to win at home.
　　 Going to the Schalke Stadium proudly, although Schalke encountered some resistance, he still won the game smoothly.
　　 Frankfurt relied on tenacious defense in the first half to make Schalke at a loss, but in the second half, Kolasinac's pass forced the opposing defender Madron to take his own goal and finally opened the situation.
　　 In the 76th minute, Draxler rushed into the penalty area to create a penalty. Lee Chenglong made a penalty, and then the substitute player Meyer scored another goal before the end to help Schalke completely seal the victory.
