When the first half ended, almost all Basel players sat on the grass, and they could not accept this strong gap - they were still eager to win before the game, but now they hoped that the nightmare would end soon.

5 to 0!

Five goals were scored in the first half, how could they continue to play? They all wanted to give up the game and returned to their motherland earlier.

But the game is not over yet...

During the halftime break, Wan Sheng only praised the team's performance and did not restrict the goals. It is now a Champions League game. The more goals scored, the more it can increase the team's fame. As for the opponent Basel, it is not within his consideration.

"Keep working hard and strive for more goals!"

This is what Wan Sheng said, but the game must have entered garbage time, so he chose to substitute players to let those players with less experience appear.

Raphael Varane appeared.

Isco has appeared.

But Falcao was not substituted, and Wansheng still hopes that Falcao can score another goal. Falcao scored five goals in the Champions League group stage, plus these three goals, his Champions League goal number has reached 8, catching up with Messi's 11 goals.

While Atletico Madrid's performance has increased, Wan Sheng also hopes that his player data can be better. After all, the champion team needs the number one scorer. Every time the media relies on players, they will say "Barcelona's Messi" and "Real Madrid's C-Roy". He also hopes that his players can become the top stars in the media. The key to cultivating a "top stars" in the media is to call direct data.

Now is the opportunity.

Falcao was also a little surprised that he was not replaced. The game was meaningless. The team was definitely able to enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League. As a striker who scored three goals, he should have been substituted at home and enjoyed the fans' applause.

But...none?

Falkao quickly understood what Wan Sheng was planning to do, "It turns out that the boss wanted me to score another goal!" Falkao's heart suddenly became hot.

In the second half, Falcao worked harder to run in the frontcourt, but at this time he wanted to score a goal, it was definitely a bit difficult. It was not that the team performed poorly, but that the opponents were much more targeted at him.

No Basel player will not pay attention to Falcao because the opponent scored three goals in the first half. They would rather miss other people in the defense than pay attention to Falcao.

Whenever Atletico Madrid advances to the penalty area, you can find that Falcao often has at least two defensive players around, while other players, such as Raul Garcia and Isco, sometimes even unattended.

Atletico Madrid took the opportunity to score two more goals in a row, with Isco and Kevin De Bruyne scoring respectively.

Basel is completely collapsed!

They had never expected that the team would suffer a 7-goal defeat at Calderon Stadium!

The reporters in the media were in an uproar, and they all thought about how to report after the game. If the game ended, Basel would face a shameful defeat and set a record of single-game goal difference in the Champions League knockout stage 7-0.

But Basel players won't think so much about it. Now their only persistence is to prevent Falcao from scoring goals, and they can't control so much, especially the two central defenders Abraham and Dragovic, who have even more strict control over Falcao.

In the layers of guarding, it is also difficult for Falcao to find opportunities.

After 80 minutes of the game, Falcao simply retreated to the back and no longer stood in front and endured defensive pressure. At this time, the players of the two teams played casually. Both sides knew that the game was meaningless, but they played very relaxed. Atletico Madrid found an opportunity and shot, and the defense of Basel's offense was no longer so tight.

This is a good opportunity for Basel to score a goal, but they didn't expect that the next goal does not belong to them, but still belongs to Atletico Madrid, and they have been trying hard to defend... Falcao!

In the 87th minute of the game, Falcao received a pass 10 meters in front of the central circle. He suddenly started to cross the opponent's midfielder Cabral, and then volleyed at the penalty area line.

The cold shot of the goalkeeper Sommer was unexpected. When he realized that the football had already flown in front of him.

It's too late!

With a sigh in his heart, Sommer could only watch the football fly into the goal.

8 to 0!

Atletico Madrid created an unprecedented big score gap in the Champions League knockout stage. Falcao also completed the "big four-game" in the Champions League knockout stage. The Champions League goal number reached 9, catching up with Messi's 11 goals, ranking second in the Champions League scorer list.

At the moment of the game, 50,000 Atletico Madrid fans cheered and witnessed the team's eight-goal victory in the European competition.

The camera keeps pointing at Wansheng.

Wan Sheng walked over to the players and hugged each player who ended up. From the camera screen, we can see that the expression on Wan Sheng’s face has not changed, so we only need to use one word to describe it - laughter.

He kept laughing.

Wan Sheng couldn't help laughing, it was difficult for him to become serious.

The team performed so well, defeating Basel 8 goals and breaking the record of maximum goal difference in a single game in the Champions League knockout stage. In the future, this record will only have one name, that is Atletico Madrid.

Wan Sheng hugged the players one by one, and after everyone came out, he remembered to shake hands with Basel coach Vogel. Vogel was very graceful and he kept waiting there with a depressed face.

When the two shook hands, Vogel became even more depressed, "It's hard for me to imagine that your performance is so outstanding."

"Thanks."

Wan Sheng thanked him and heard Vogel continue, "Congratulations on entering the quarterfinals, it's time for me to go back and comfort my players."

Then Vogel turned around and walked back.

Wan Sheng looked at his back and felt like he had seen a loser. He couldn't help but recall what he looked like when he first came to this world. He couldn't help but shrugging, feeling that he was thinking too much.

I was indeed a failure at that time, but Vogel did not fail!

Vogel has just become the head coach of a professional team, and has not been long. He was able to lead the team to play in the Champions League for the first time. He was very lucky, and he also led the team to enter the knockout round historically. Even if he was massacred by Atletico Madrid and eliminated from the Champions League quarterfinals, Basel's results are enough to explain to the media and fans. After all, they are small league clubs, and it is a historic opportunity to advance to the quarterfinals.

So Vogel was very successful in leading the team. Even if he experienced a big defeat, it would not affect his position in the hearts of Basel fans.

At the post-match press conference, Wan Sheng did not talk much about the big victory. After all, it was a kind of harm to the opponent. He had a little more 'compassion' and just said, "I'm very happy to see the team make it to the quarterfinals, but this is not the end. For us, the Champions League has just begun! I hope the team can keep performing."

Basel coach Vogel said, "The results of today's game are very painful. Atletico Madrid's pace is very fast and we have no power to resist."

After the press conference, Wan Sheng would not say much about the game.

Atletico Madrid won 8 goals and was really enjoyable, but no matter how big the score was, it was just a game. It did not mean that you could directly enter the semi-finals by scoring eight goals.

On the third day, the Champions League quarterfinals were all over, all three La Liga teams advanced to the quarterfinals, while the other five teams were AC Milan in Serie A, Chelsea in the Premier League, Marseille in Ligue 1, Benfica in Portugal's Super League and the Greeks in the Cyprus dark horse.

Spanish football ushers in a great harvest!

Spanish media excitedly reported the Champions League news because three Spanish teams entered the Champions League quarterfinals, which represents the glory of Spanish football in the Champions League!

Among the other five leagues, only one team in the Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1 entered the quarterfinals, and the Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich simply broke the wings and lost to Chelsea in the Premier League.

Wan Sheng also has a lot of feelings about Bayern Munich's "fall". He still remembers that this Champions League champion in his previous life would be Chelsea. The final was between Chelsea and Bayern Munich. Now with Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich can only rank second in the group and meet Chelsea in the quarterfinals in advance. So he lost to Chelsea neatly and didn't even have the chance to enter the quarterfinals.

This is the butterfly effect he brought!

But Wan Sheng just sighed that he has changed too much to the football world in this life and doesn't care about this anymore.

Next, the Champions League quarterfinal draw began.

Nyon, Switzerland, UEFA headquarters.

Teams entering the quarterfinals all send representatives to attend the lottery ceremony. The draw in the quarterfinals is much simpler, and there is no grand award ceremony, just a direct draw. Therefore, most of the clubs come to assistant coaches, managers, etc. Teams that attach more importance to lottery can only come, the head coach or chairman. Atletico Madrid only sent the head of the competitive department, Ruan Hailong, as the representative.

Although the draw is simple, the results have attracted much attention.

The Champions League quarterfinal draw adopts rules that completely relax all restrictions. Not only does it not have seed teams, but the same national league team does not avoid rules, which makes it possible for all teams to meet in advance, and three Spanish teams are very dangerous.

There are four favorites to win the Champions League this season, namely Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid. All three teams are favorites to win the championship. No matter which two teams meet, they will be the biggest focus of the quarterfinals.

This is also what Spanish fans care about.

When the draw results came out, the Spanish media received good news. The three La Liga teams did not meet in pairs, and they also staggered another favorite to win the championship - Chelsea.

Real Madrid is lucky and meets the Greeks' competition this season's Champions League dark horse.

Atletico Madrid is also lucky and meets the weak Ligue 1 Marseille team in the quarterfinals.

Barcelona's luck is not very good. The opponent they meet is the Serie A giant AC Milan, and the two teams will definitely start the war of the century.

The remaining game is the competition between Benfica and Chelsea.

When the draw results came out, the Spanish media were very happy because there was hope for three La Liga teams to appear in the semi-finals of the Champions League, which would be equivalent to Spanish football dominating the Champions League. Judging from the matchup, this may be very big.

Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid advancement is not a problem. The only suspense is whether Barcelona can defeat AC Milan. With the current AC Milan situation, it is very difficult to defeat Barcelona, ​​so Barcelona has a great hope of advancing.

Wan Sheng also let out a long sigh.

If the team encounters a difficult opponent in the Champions League quarterfinals, the team will have to put in a lot of energy to deal with it, which will easily affect the league. At present, the team is too nervous in the league and Real Madrid. If it is distracted, it is likely to make mistakes. If there is a mistake in the league competition, it is likely to fail in the final competition.

Wan Sheng didn't want to see Mourinho's proud face.

Before the UEFA Champions League, Atletico Madrid still needs to put its energy back to the league, because they are about to usher in a match against Barcelona.

The same goes for Barcelona, ​​they are trying to beat Atletico Madrid.

Barcelona can be said to have hated Wan Sheng to the core.

Although there is actually no conflict outside the game, Wan Sheng led the team to defeat Barcelona again and again, which is enough to make both sides the absolute mortal enemy.

Every time Wansheng leads the team to defeat Barcelona, ​​he has to ridicule a few words, which makes Barcelona people feel depressed, so they keep their hatred even more in their hearts.

In fact, the escalation of hatred between the two sides is more important than a competitive relationship between each other. Both sides are direct competitors of the league champions and will face off again in the final of the Cup of del Rey this season. In the Champions League, both teams have entered the quarterfinals and may meet in the future.

In this competition, Wansheng has been 'proclaimed' as Barcelona's biggest enemy!

Before the game, the Catalan media did not talk about revenge anymore. They all had a shadow on this word. Every time they talked about revenge, the final result was not good. Wan Sheng would be ridiculed by a few words. If they continued to talk, they would only make their opponents laugh at.

So before the two teams' matches, the Catalan media seemed very calm. They held their energy and waited for the end of the game, and then reported it vigorously until Barcelona won.

Atletico Madrid supports the media and talks about the record of the two sides' engagement in the past two seasons as always. Then, this shows that Barcelona still has no chance in this game.

These reports are all praises from the media for their support of the team, and there is nothing special to say.

Atletico Madrid is well prepared for the game. Wansheng focused on training defensive running and formation before the game, hoping to limit the performance of individual Barcelona stars and overall offensive.

During the game, Atletico Madrid did the same. They kept running back and forth to ensure offense and defense, while also increasing fighting and strengthening restrictions on Barcelona.

Tactical, neither team has changed.

What Wan Sheng and Guardiola did not expect was that the physical confrontation between the two sides was very fierce in this game. From the beginning of the game, with Diego Costa and Alves having a physical conflict, the situation was a bit out of control. (To be continued.)
