Chapter 890 The situation is clear
With the end of the fifth round of the group stage, there is no suspense about qualifying for Group A. Atletico Madrid ranked first with 15 points in all five rounds, while Juventus qualified as second in the group with 9 points after defeating Malmo.
Both Malmö and Olympiacos have three points. The two teams need to decide the third and fourth places in the final round, and the gap between the three and four places is also huge. No.3 can enter the UEFA Cup, and No.4 will go home directly.
The number of places in Group A has been determined, but B still needs to decide No.2 in the final round. Liverpool, who returned to the Champions League, ushered in a perfect start and fell to the bottom after a wave of four-game losing streak. Now they can only hope for the final round.
At the same time, the top spot in Group B is the second team other than Atletico Madrid that has maintained a complete victory so far. It is also a coincidence, because both teams are from Madrid, and Group B is Real Madrid.
Group C doesn't get much attention, but just like the strength of the teams in Group C, no one in this group can steadily qualify, and the suspense is left until the final round.
In Group D, Arsenal and Dortmund took off, and it has been confirmed that the two teams will qualify, but the Hornet Dortmund has the advantage.
Group E can be called the death group, but this death group seems to be a bit of a misnomer. Bayern Munich is the best, and the remaining three teams have 5 points, and the final round is needed to decide the second place in the group.
Paris Saint-Germain beat Barcelona in Group F. The two teams will decide the number one place in the group in the final round. As for the qualifying places, Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain have already obtained them.
Mourinho's team is firmly in first place in Group G. Schalke 04 competes with Sporting Lisbon for second place. It also needs the last round to decide. As for the final group, it is actually similar to Group C. The attention is not high, and the points difference is not big.
The Champions League group stage is coming to an end, but La Liga is still going on, and even the Copa del Rey will be ignited again in December, not to mention that Atletico Madrid still has the Club World Cup to play in mid-December.
The only good news for Atletico Madrid is that this Club World Cup is not in Japan, but in Morocco, which is across the sea from Spain.
This is definitely not good news for Asian fans, especially for Chinese fans. After all, this is one of the few opportunities for them to watch Lin Dong play live.
It only takes more than three hours to fly from China to Japan, and if it is not Morocco, it is almost a whole day, which is longer than coming directly to Spain.
Such a comparison is not worth the loss. The Club World Cup is very famous. It is true that the intercontinental champions of several continents compete with each other, but the strength and influence of these continents cannot be compared with Europe.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the players in these continental championship teams can't even gain a firm foothold in the European giants. The gap is immeasurable.
Three days later, Atletico Madrid ushered in another newly promoted Mara Coruña at home. The former Super Depor was relegated in the 12-13 season, and returned to the first division after one season.
As a newly promoted horse, Deportivo performed like a newly promoted horse. After twelve rounds, they accumulated 10 points. Although they were not in the relegation zone, the points were no different from the relegation zone. It was just a matter of one game.
What's more, Deportivo is facing the right condition in this game, beating Barcelona and Real Madrid's defending champion Atletico Madrid.
Indeed, Atlético de Madrid is still a bit short of becoming a real giant, but Atletico Madrid's strength has been recognized by major European giants, and the two best teams in Europe are currently in La Liga.
In this game, Mandzukic returned from injury and returned to the starting lineup, partnering with Lin Dong. Gabi was suspended due to the red card in the previous game. Thiago and Suarez formed the middle lane, and the two sides returned to Cork and Turan.
Not surprisingly, Siqueira has basically lost Simeone's trust in the defense. Ansaldi and Juanfran are on both sides, and the central defenders are Jimenez and Godin.
The game has entered the rhythm of Atletico Madrid from the beginning, which is very similar to the Olympiacos game in the middle of the week, and even the timing of the goal is similar.
A goal was scored in the 8th minute of the last game. This game was 1 minute later than the previous game, and the player who scored also changed from Lin Dong to Mandzukic.
It was also a pass from the side, but this time it was a corner pass. Before the match-fixing, Lin Dong's header was slammed by Deportivo Favre to the bottom line.
Gabi was not there, Koke sent the corner kick, and the midfielder of Atletico Madrid sent the ball directly into the penalty area. Mandzukic came out more and more, overpowered Diakite by a few centimeters, and slammed the goal straight to the dead corner.
After the goal, Atlético Madrid kept pressing Deportivo to play again. Although Deportivo had always wanted to counterattack, the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, and Deportivo's counterattack could not be counterattacked at all.
However, for a long time to come, Atletico Madrid, who took the initiative, was still unable to expand the score. Well, this situation is still very similar to Zhou Zong's championship. If it weren't for the different jerseys on the field, the Atletico Madrid fans in the stands couldn't help wondering if they were watching a replay. Well, watching a real replay in the stands.
And the subsequent development confirmed this point even more. At the No.403 minute of the game, it was almost the time of the second goal of the Champions Cup in midweek. Atletico Madrid scored the second goal of the game, and the goal was still Lin Dong.
Turan made a high pass at a 45-degree angle on the left, and Mandzukic competed for the header again, but this time Mandzukic played the ball for Lin Dong and diverted the header.
Lin Dong then outflanked the ball and swooped in with a header. The Deportivo goalkeeper could only look at the ball and sigh, watching the ball fly into the goal behind him. The score of the game was rewritten to 2:0.
However, the game began to change here. Atletico Madrid entered the intermission 2:0 in the midweek game, but this game was indeed 3:0.
In stoppage time, Lin Dong sent out his fifth assist of the season. Cork is currently the assist leader in the Atletico Madrid team, while Lin Dong is second only to Cork.
Turan kicked the ball again, and Lin Dong competed for the first goal. It was also a header, but the target of Lin Dong's header was Cork.
However, the 3:0 in the first half was also the score of the whole game. The three goals in the first half seemed to have exhausted all Atletico Madrid's scoring luck in this game. In the second half, Atletico Madrid couldn't score no matter how they attacked.
At the same time, this is also the first time that Lin Dong has only scored one goal in a game this season. In the previous games, Lin Dong has scored at least two and at most four.
