Being eliminated by the Kings in the Champions League semi-finals was a heavy blow to the Pirates, but it was not the end of the world.
Pain is pain, and life has to go on.
Pirates fans will not ask the team to wear sacks and filial piety until the end of the season just because the team was eliminated from the Champions League. In fact, as long as the Buccaneers don't appear hilariously in the televised footage right after the game.
As for whether the players laughed or not the next day, the fans didn't care.
They also don't have the time to stare at the faces of the players all day long to see who is mismanaged with micro expressions...
Of course you will be upset and depressed if you lose, but everyone is an adult and a seasoned fan, so how could they not know that football doesn’t always win games, and victory or defeat is a matter of the military?
Although it would be more uncomfortable to lose to a rival in the same city, the former Madrid pirates have not lost to the king.
Besides... isn't the league over yet?
We still have a chance to compete with the King for the league title!
The account of being eliminated from the Champions League must be settled in the league!
With this goal in mind, the dissatisfaction of the Madrid Pirates fans over the team being eliminated from the Champions League by their rivals in the same city will also be alleviated a lot.
It is almost equivalent to a mentality that allows the team to "take the blame and make merit".
If the Pirates finally lose to the King in the La Liga title race, the anger accumulated by the fans may only be fully released.
And the head coach Parrotti may have to bear a lot of pressure...
As a giant team, it is really unreasonable to miss any championship for two consecutive seasons.
After being eliminated from the Champions League, the Madrid Pirates also lost all excuses and reasons, this league title, they must win.
At the same time, the King of Madrid has the opportunity to achieve the first "Triple Crown" glory in the history of Spanish football.
They have hope of winning the league, and not small.
The Champions League reached the final, and the Spanish Copa del Rey also reached the final.
According to the schedule, Wednesday, May 3 is the Copa del Rey final. The opponent in the final of the King of Madrid is Catalonia, the arch-rivals of the Clasico.
If they can defeat the Catalan United and win the King's Cup, then the "Triple Crown" process will officially start.
Next is the final round of the league on May 13. If they can beat Saria at home, and the Madrid Pirates can't win the Catalan away, the Kings can win the league again.
The last is the Champions League final. To be honest, after defeating the Blue and White Munich and the Madrid Pirates successively, the King of Madrid is already the number one favorite to win the championship. Compared with them, Stan Park Rangers are not as strong. The only advantage may be that they play in London, which is barely considered the home advantage of the English team.
But everyone is still more optimistic about the king winning the Champions League.
So the possibility of the king completing the "Triple Crown" achievement is very high.
As rivals in the same city, the only thing the pirates can decide is the league.
Therefore, after being eliminated from the Champions League, the league has become the bottom line of the Pirates.

On Sunday, April 30, the weekend after the Champions League semi-finals, La Liga ushered in the penultimate round, which is the 36th round.
In this round, Catalonia, without the drag of the Champions League, easily defeated Getafe 16:0 at home. The King of Madrid and the Pirates of Madrid have both rotated the lineup.
On the Pirates side, Carey was not able to start, and Hu Lai continued to start because he had no physical problems at all.
He did not score in the previous two consecutive rounds of the league, and finally broke the "goal drought" in the face of Turias, who ranked 11th.
He scored a goal in the game to help the Madrid Pirates beat Turias away :0.
His personal league goals also increased to 32nd.
Later on the same day, in the match between the King of Madrid and Valentia at home, just after the Champions League, Meli, who played 120 minutes of the game, did not start, but in the last 20 minutes of the game. Come on as a substitute.
He scored a goal soon after coming off the bench, taking the league tally to twenty-eight.
However, since Hu Lai also scored goals in this round of the league, the gap between him and Hu Lai in the scorer list is still four goals, which has not shortened.
This is not good news for Merry.
Hu Lai, who can't play in the Champions League, can finally output in full force in the league.
If Meli wants to surpass Hu Lai and win the league's golden boot, he not only has to work hard, but also expect Hu Lai to not score in the remaining two rounds of the league... This requirement is really a bit high.
But Merry wasn't about to give up this somewhat arrogant goal.
Just like he did in the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, he didn't give up, didn't admit defeat, and finally created a miracle, his assist helped Cerrados to level the Pirates, broke the opponent's morale, and laid the foundation for beating them in overtime. Base.
So doing anything, as long as it doesn't end, Merry will never give up early.
Even in the end, it was just a waste of time, at least he worked hard for it.
With Meli's goal, the King of Madrid beat Valentia 1-0 at home. Although the winning process was a bit difficult, it was a win and a precious three points.
So after this round of the league is over, the ranking of the top three in the league has not changed, and the difference is the same.
The Madrid Pirates ranked first with 92 points, the King ranked second with the same points, and the Catalan United ranked third with 90 points.
Anyone still has a chance to win the championship, and anyone can overturn.
It is also worth mentioning that because Saria, where Zhang Qinghuan is located, has been eliminated from the Europa League, they performed very well in the final sprint stage of the league.
Previously affected by the Europa League knockout stage, they were once without a victory in the league. Now it has won two in a row.
The league ranking has also caught up to the eighth place from the previous ninth place, and is only six points away from the seventh place Royal Cathoun.
With two rounds remaining in the league, there is a chance to grab a seventh-place finish.
Since this season's Copa del Rey final is the King of Madrid and Catalan, both teams have been confirmed to qualify for next season's Champions League. So no matter who they win the King's Cup, the Europa League qualifications brought by this championship will be postponed in the league.
So the seventh place can also qualify for the Europa League!
It was with the seventh-place finish of the league last season that Saria caught up with the last train of the Europa League.
This season, they may repeat this scene!
If he can participate in the Europa League again, this will definitely be good news for Zhang Qinghuan.
Chinese fans are also happy to see Zhang Qinghuan continue to play in the Europa League - his performance in the Europa League this season is still very good, scoring a total of one goal and sending three assists.
At the same time, the Europa League is also very useful for his promotion.
If you can often participate in European competitions, it will be of great benefit to Zhang Qinghuan himself and the Chinese team.
Just wanting Saria to qualify for the Europa League next season is still very difficult.
On the one hand, they are counting on their direct rival ~EbookFREE.me~, the seventh-ranked Royal Cathoun, to lose the remaining two rounds of the league.
On the other hand, at the same time, Saria has to win the remaining two rounds of the league.
Both requirements are difficult, especially the second.
In the thirty-seventh round of the league, they faced Pamplona, who was fighting for relegation. It is common sense that the relegation team is not easy to play. So they may not be able to win this game.
[To tell the truth, recently I have been using Mimi to read and read books to keep up with updates, switch sources, and read aloud tones, which can be used by Android and Apple. 】
However, Saria has home field advantage, and the probability of winning is still high.
But this last round, for Saria, is basically an "impossible task"-they have to challenge the King of Madrid, who is aiming to win the championship.
The opponent is a powerful king, and it is still at the home of the king. At the same time, the king has to compete with the Madrid Pirates and Catalan for the league championship.
Even if only one of these three factors appeared, it was enough to make Saria drink a pot.
Now, three factors are present at the same time, and there is almost no reason for Saria to win away games.
Therefore, participating in the Europa League for two consecutive seasons is destined to be only the dream of Saria fans and many Chinese fans.
Although unable to qualify for the Europa League next season, Saria's performance this season is also perfect.
They finally reached the quarter-finals in the Europa League, and under such premise, the league has not collapsed.
Think about the last time they played in the Europa League, only to be relegated at the end of the season... What kind of bike do Saria fans need today?
