Chapter 544 Breaking All Illusions

After defeating Barcelona in the last round of the league, Atletico Madrid consolidated their lead.Although they went from a lead of more than ten points to being chased to a draw by Barcelona, ​​they have finally secured the victory without any danger.

Now there are 3 rounds left in the league, namely Celta Vigo, Mallorca and Zaragoza.These three teams are relatively weak, and it is difficult to pose any threat to Atletico Madrid.

In contrast to Barcelona, ​​they played against Valladolid, Espanyol and Malaga in the last three rounds.Even if they win all three games, they can only score 99 points and cannot set a record of 100 points.

Of course, the record belongs to Atletico Madrid.As long as they win all the last three rounds, Atletico Madrid will defend the La Liga title. At the same time, it will break the 100-point mark and win the championship with a record of 102 points.

Simeone said in an interview that the players didn't even know that the team was about to set a new record.

He said: "We are not interested in records. If records can be exchanged for league championships, we would like to give up all records, just for one championship."

Of course, this is the official statement. On the training ground, Simeone passed on the thought of "must break the record" to everyone.

"We not only want to win! We also want to win beautiful! Win great! A record of 102 points! We must get it!"

Simeone yelled a few words from time to time on the training ground. At the beginning, everyone echoed a few words with great enthusiasm. After listening for a long time, everyone became annoyed.

"We must win the last three rounds! The record belongs to us!"

When Simeone yelled again, Costa couldn't help but rolled his eyes and muttered: "Is the essence of human beings a repeater?"

Atletico Madrid's opponents are not strong, as long as they can do their own things well, the league championship is within easy reach.

In the 36th round of the league, Atletico Madrid played against Celta Vigo at home.This is a fairly easy game. Caesar helped the team win 1:0 away and continue to consolidate the advantage in the standings.

Barcelona went on a killing spree this round. Facing Valladolid, they beat him 8:1 to vent their anger.

"It would be great if Barcelona were in this state when they faced Atletico Madrid." Barcelona fans looked regretful. In their opinion, they should be able to defeat Atletico Madrid by beating Valladolid 8:1.

This statement was scoffed at by Atletico Madrid fans. They spoke with facts. Now it is their Atletico Madrid who have entered the Champions League final and are leading the league, not the so-called Barcelona.

In the 37th round, Barcelona's game started now. They defeated the Spaniard 3:0. Atletico Madrid's game was played in the evening, so Barcelona, ​​who played one more round, temporarily ranked first with the advantage of goal difference.

After the game, most of the Barcelona players came to Pique's house to watch Atletico Madrid's game against Mallorca.

"I hope this time the summit is not temporary, come on Mallorca, kill Atletico Madrid!" Pique yelled there.

Mallorca is on the verge of relegation this season, especially at the end of the season, they rank second to last in the league and are very likely to be relegated to Serie B.Therefore, before the start of this game, the Barcelona players were still very optimistic about Mallorca.

"Teams that are on the verge of relegation generally have unlimited potential. I believe that Mallorca will definitely cause a lot of trouble for Atletico Madrid." Pedro analyzed.

Cesc Fabregas, who was frustrated in Barcelona, ​​also said: "Yes, Mallorca will definitely do their best to stay in the first division. On the contrary, if Atletico Madrid relaxes because they have underestimated their opponents, then they will definitely have no good fruit to eat."

As a result, as soon as the game started, Mallorca launched a siege against Atletico Madrid's goal just as they thought.With the prestige of the home court, the Mallorca players punched and kicked Atletico Madrid.

"Oooo!!"

In Pique's house, the sounds of surprise and regret from Barcelona players kept ringing.

"Oh! This goal should be scored! It's too straight!"

"Penalty kick! This is a penalty kick! Is the referee blind?!"

"Come on Mallorca! Come on!"

Atletico Madrid didn't get a corner kick until the 15th minute of the first half. Seeing Mallorca goalkeeper Avat helped the team save the day, Pique laughed and said: "Let's not say, Mallorca definitely has a chance to win today!"

"That's right, as long as you stick to your style of play, even if it's Atletico Madrid, they will..."

As a result, before Pedro finished speaking, Costa took advantage of the header and headed Cork's corner kick into the goal.

There was silence in Pique's house, and everyone shut their mouths.After a while, Alba stammered: "It's okay, there is still time for the game, they have an equalizer,"

“凯撒边路断球！长驱直入！单刀面对门将阿瓦特！凯撒将阿瓦特晃倒了！直接将球带进了球门！2:0！短短3分钟里，马竞就将比分扩大为了2:0！”

Now the Barcelona players shut their mouths, and the only voice in the living room was the finisher Rudy.

"Caesar expanded his goal count to 49! 49 goals in a single season is simply a miracle! Now there are nearly 70 minutes left in this game! Caesar has every chance to directly break the 50-goal mark in this game!"

Unfortunately, Caesar didn't score any more goals today.Perhaps to inspect the players, Simeone replaced Caesar with Griezmann at the beginning of the second half.

"Well, on the bright side, at least Caesars failed to break the 50 record." Alba muttered, but no one paid attention to him.

In the end, the score of this game was fixed at 4:0. Atletico Madrid accumulated 99 points, which is only one game away from the record of 102 points.

And their opponent is Zaragoza, which is ranked last.

Now the Barcelona players are pinning their hopes on Zaragoza. Mallorca, who was almost relegated, almost overturned Atletico Madrid (this 'almost' is too much difference).

On the side of Atletico Madrid, they sent the strongest lineup for the home game.

Kirk patted Caesar on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I'll pass the ball to you."

Now Caesar is only one away from the record of 50 goals in a single season, and Zaragoza's defense is the weakest in La Liga, and Caesar can completely score goals on them.

The anticipation of the game also exceeded the expectations of the Barcelona players. Zaragoza is not without resistance, but their resistance is not worth mentioning in front of Atletico Madrid who are fighting at home and waiting for the awards after the game.

From the first minute of the game, it completely entered the performance time of Atletico Madrid.

First, Costa received a header from Cork's cross in the 4th minute of the game.

Then there was Turan, whose long-range shot opened Zaragoza's goal again.

Caesar has not scored for a long time, which is also a little consolation for Barcelona fans.As a result, the game entered the second half. Caesar himself completed a one-vs-three on the wing, then faced the goalkeeper and sent the ball into the empty goal.

"This is the 50th goal of the Caesars League! 38 rounds of the league! 50 goals! This is simply a miracle that cannot be replicated! Don't forget, Caesars also missed 5 games due to injury!"
