Chapter 493 Champions League Quarterfinals
However, although this victory is extremely exciting for Real Madrid, it has the opposite effect on the internal stability of Real Madrid.

Mourinho hopes to increase Lin Dong's playing time so that Lin Dong can also start in the league. This will undoubtedly embarrass Florentino. The chairman of Real Madrid has already agreed to Benzema and Higuain.

Moreover, Florentino is more inclined to let Benzema and Higuain start. After all, the future of the two is still very clear, especially Benzema, but Lin Dong's future is not destined to be in Real Madrid.

But Lin Dong's performance is still there. Unlike his first arrival in La Liga, which was full of controversy, Lin Dong is now recognized by almost the whole of Europe, and he has grown into one of the best strikers in today's football.

In the end, it was Lin Dong himself who came forward to quell the civil strife. Lin Dong no longer had any feelings for Real Madrid, and even felt disgusted by the corruption of the Real Madrid dressing room.

Compared with his previous thoughts, Lin Dong's only thought now is to complete the task and get rewards from the system, so Lin Dong took the initiative to find Mourinho.

"Boss~~~ I don't need to start in the league," Lin Dong said in the office.

"Are you sure?" Lin Dong's choice was beyond Mourinho's expectation.

"Yes~~~Compared with the league, I hope to compete for the Champions League, and the stability of the team is the guarantee that we can go further in the Champions League," Lin Dong said.

"Okay~~~I know what to do" A simple and direct conversation.

With the end of the call, this civil strife in Real Madrid has come to an end. I don't know if Lin Dong's voluntary withdrawal has moved the so-called God. Real Madrid's road to the Champions League seems to have become particularly smooth.

Lin Dong continued to start in the midweek Champions Cup. Relying on the prestige of defeating Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid sent another 4:0 to Shakhtar Donetsk at home, and sent the Ukrainian giants back to Ukraine with a big score of 7:2 in two rounds.

Lin Dong scored twice again, expanding his goals in the Champions League to 12. In the past, this number of goals was enough to win the Champions League Golden Boot.

At present, the most goals scored in a season since the UEFA Champions League was restructured is 14. No. 1 record is created by the legendary star José Altafini from AC Milan in the 62-63 season.

Afterwards, very few people were able to match this record. The world's top league is not just talking. In the following decades, there are so many world-class forwards in European football, and Messi is only able to reach 14 goals. And it was only tied last season.

Lin Dong is now infinitely close to this record, and now the top 16 has just ended. Next, Real Madrid still has a quarter-final, and the most important quarter-final opponent is not strong.

Galatasaray, a team from Turkey, if Real Madrid finally beats Galatasaray, then the opponent in the semi-finals will be the winning team between Malaga and Borussia Dortmund.

Although Malaga no longer has the same aura as before in La Liga, but in the Champions League, Malaga's performance is still remarkable, and even the Spanish media began to cheer for Malaga, asking Malaga to kill Dortmund.

However, this is a bit difficult for Malaga. Dortmund's strength is much higher than that of Malaga. You must know that in the quarter-finals, they stepped on the corpse of Manchester United to break into the quarter-finals.

At present, La Liga occupies the most places in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and there are three teams. In the lower half, Barcelona reversed AC Milan and entered the quarter-finals.

Then there is the Bundesliga. There are two Bundesliga teams, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. The five major European leagues, the Bundesliga is undoubtedly the healthiest league.

Compared with the health of German football, Italian football is endless darkness. There is only one team left in Serie A, Juventus, which pushed Serie A to darkness before.

But if you really want to say that it is miserable, it is definitely not as good as the Premier League. In the past 17 years, it is the first time that there is no team from the Premier League in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

You know, the Premier League is known as the world's number one league, um~~~ Although the world's number one has been surpassed by La Liga, even so, the strength of the Premier League has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

In the past ten years, the Premier League has exclusively occupied 22 of the eighty seats in the top eight, far surpassing La Liga, Serie A and Bundesliga. In the past ten years, the Premier League has also won 3 Champions League titles and 3 Champions League runner-ups. Its strength is really eye-catching.

The three major British newspapers lamented, and the Guardian was the most direct, using "Shame" to describe the performance of their respective teams in the Champions League and Premier League this year, especially Manchester City.

The defending champion is similar to Manchester City. As the defending champion, Chelsea only ranked third in the group stage. There is no doubt that this is a failed season.

Arsenal has not been able to enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League for three consecutive years, but Arsenal fans should have become accustomed to their team playing soy sauce every year.

The most surprising thing is Manchester United. It is estimated that the whole of Europe did not expect that the experienced Ferguson turned over and lost to the young man Klopp.

The age of the two coaches is also reflected in the two teams. Klopp's Dortmund is dominated by young players, with few over [-] players, while Manchester United is still dominated by veteran players, most of whom are over [-] years old.

However, the sorrows and joys of the Premier League are good news for other leagues. After all, the Premier League has been too domineering in recent years. It has a lot of money and frequently poachs other leagues.

The four teams in the first half of the Champions League quarter-finals are Real Madrid against Galatasaray, Borussia Dortmund against Malaga, Barcelona against Paris Saint-Germain in the second half, and Bayern Munich against Juventus.

Faced with this draw, the Spanish media and the German media have called out civil war, and the Spanish media must hope that Real Madrid and Barcelona will enter the final.

Although there is Malaga in the quarter-finals, no one really thinks that Malaga can really enter the finals. The quarter-finals should be the limit of this La Liga team.

The German media also hope that Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund will join forces in the final, especially the current Champions League final will be held at Wembley Stadium in England.

With nearly a century of football grievances between Germany and England, the Germans are definitely unwilling to let go of this opportunity. Wembley Stadium is the home of the England national team.

Especially Bayern Munich, last season's Champions League final, Bayern Munich lost to Chelsea, and the venue of the final was Bayern Munich's home stadium, the Allianz Arena.
