As of now, the first leg of the Champions League 1/4 knockout round has been played, and in these 4 games, La Liga teams have undoubtedly performed the best, they have played 3 teams, and the result is 2 wins and 1 draw to remain unbeaten. Among them, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona defeated Borussia Dortmund and Grand Paris respectively to lay the foundation for advancing to the semi-finals.
Prior to that, Atletico Madrid eliminated the unbeatable Inter Milan, and their fighting power at home made all opponents fearful. Against Borussia Dortmund, Atletico Madrid also did not disappoint the fans.
Just four minutes into the game, De Paul took the lead. Borussia Dortmund made a mistake at the back and was intercepted by De Paul, who then stabbed home to open the door for Atletico to win. Before the game, Simeone and Atletico Madrid fans had high hopes for Griezmann, hoping that he could help the team with goals, but it was De Paul who stepped up.
Dortmund were in a desperate situation after conceding an accidental goal, but they have yet to learn their lesson. In the 32nd minute, Dortmund made another mistake at the back, Griezmann took the ball, and then picked up a cross to find Lino, who rushed to block before the goalkeeper could block it, and finally pushed the goal to give Atletico a 2-0 lead.
Dortmund only woke up from a dream after conceding two goals in a row, and then they fought back away from home and Atletico Madrid's door began to stir. In the 81st minute, Alai, who came on as a substitute, turned and swept the goal to pull back one goal for the team. Before the end of the game, Dortmund also hit the woodwork with a header and almost equalised.
In the other game, Barcelona came away to win 3-2 against Grand Paris. Raphinha scored 2 goals in this game, coupled with Christensen's header, which made Barcelona have the last laugh.
After the first leg, Atletico and Barcelona both had the upper hand, and as long as they don't lose in the middle of next week, they are sure to progress to the last four. Barcelona are back at home, and they are absolutely sure to be invincible. In contrast, Atletico Madrid is a guest, although it has a one-goal advantage, but with the madness of Dortmund's home stadium, Atletico Madrid still can't be careless.
As for Real Madrid, they drew 3-3 at home to Manchester City in the first leg and then move on to the road, where they will knock out Manchester City and reach the last four if they can beat them 1-0. From the current point of view, the top 3 of La Liga have a chance to advance, of which Barcelona has the greatest hope, Atletico Madrid is also sure, and Real Madrid is facing a severe test. On the road, if they can take advantage of the counter-attack and take the lead early, they definitely have a chance to knock out their opponents. If they can't withstand Manchester City's onslaught, Real Madrid will lose to their opponents at any time, as they did last year. If all 3 teams in La Liga can enter the semi-finals, then this season's Champions League champion is believed to belong to La Liga!
