Dortmund's 3-0 victory over Atletico Madrid at home was not only a complete victory in terms of score but also a complete dominance on the field.

Atletico Madrid was beaten almost without any power to fight back.

After the match, major media outlets and the internet were buzzing about the game.

Because the process of this game was so unexpected.

Before the game, everyone thought it would be an evenly matched contest. The two teams were very close in strength.

Some even believed that Dortmund might be at a slight disadvantage, even playing at home.

After all, they were currently leading Bayern Munich in the league, but not by much, and a reversal could happen at any time. Being distracted by the league would inevitably affect the Champions League...

In addition, Atletico Madrid had been in excellent form recently and might not be at a disadvantage playing Dortmund away from home.

Who would have thought that after the game started, Dortmund would completely stun Atletico Madrid within the first few minutes?

Not to mention the players of Atletico Madrid, even the fans of Atletico Madrid were completely unexpected.

Anyone who watched the game might even think that Atletico Madrid was lucky to only lose three goals...

The media widely believed that Dortmund's 3-0 lead had almost eliminated the suspense of the second leg.

"...No team has ever been able to reverse a 0-3 loss in the first leg of a Champions League semi-final, whether at home or away!"

"Atletico Madrid has bid farewell to the Champions League in advance. They have performed very well this season, but they still failed to break through the semi-final bottleneck..."

"Simeone refuses to admit defeat, which we fully understand as the team's coach. He has to do this because if he doesn't, the team's morale will collapse completely... But the reality is that Atletico Madrid cannot reverse the situation at home..."

"Having conceded three goals in the first leg, how easy is it to reverse the situation at home? It would have been good if Atletico Madrid had scored an away goal in the first leg, but they didn't... In this way, even if they win 3-0 at home, it will only take the game into extra time... To advance directly, they need to score four goals while ensuring that Dortmund doesn't score. As long as Dortmund scores one goal, it will be doomsday for Atletico Madrid..."

Even the Spanish media was not optimistic about Simeone's team.

They believed that this game was a wake-up call for Simeone, telling him that he must now put all his energy into the league to ensure that he can win the league title. The Champions League title is too difficult, but the league title is still possible.

But if Simeone insists on spending a lot of energy in the Champions League, then the outcome of the league will be very difficult to say...

Don't look at Atletico Madrid's current four-point lead over second-placed Barcelona, but there are still four rounds left in the league, and the last round is a direct match between Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, and it is at Barcelona's home ground.

So Barcelona still has a chance to reverse Atletico Madrid and win the league title this season.

If Atletico Madrid fights on two fronts and is more distracted by the Champions League, it will be difficult for them to maintain stable performance in the league.

Now, the complete defeat to Dortmund on the road is just a sign, telling Simeone not to fight on two fronts anymore, shrink the battle line, and focus on the league.

In fact, it is not only Atletico Madrid that needs to fight on two fronts, but Dortmund is also the same.

However, their situation is better than that of Atletico Madrid. They won 3-0 against Atletico Madrid in this game, at least they can temporarily invest more energy into the league.

The next day was the second Champions League match day, and it was Bayern Munich's turn to face Real Madrid.

Bayern Munich's schedule is more favorable than Dortmund's, as they play away first and then home.

The match between Real Madrid and Barcelona is more watched than the match between Atletico Madrid and Dortmund. The duel between these two teams is called the "European Derby", which shows the importance of their match.

In addition, Bayern Munich's coach, Guardiola, used to coach Barcelona, and during that time, he played against Real Madrid many times and can be regarded as an enemy.

Barcelona has been eliminated, and in the spirit of the simple idea of "if I can't have a good time, you can't either" between fans of bitter rivals, Barcelona fans hope that Guardiola can lead Bayern Munich to eliminate Real Madrid.

After ninety minutes of fierce battle, Bayern Munich lost to Real Madrid by a narrow margin of 0-1 away from home. Although they lost the game, the result was satisfactory.

After all, it was an away game. While it was regrettable not to score an away goal, they only lost by one goal. Bayern Munich can easily make up for this one-goal difference after returning to their home field.

On the contrary, Real Madrid's situation is precarious.

Don't look at them winning the game; leading by only one goal is no different from a draw.

After a round of Champions League semi-finals, the media are widely optimistic that the Bundesliga duo will meet again in the Champions League final.

The Chinese media can't wait to start analyzing why German teams are so competitive in the Champions League now.

Various reasons have been found, such as the healthy financial philosophy pursued by the Bundesliga, and the Bundesliga's greater emphasis on the cultivation of youth training...

The Chinese media hopes that the experience of the Bundesliga can inspire Chinese football.

Now a group of geniuses has emerged in Chinese football, and they have entered the World Cup finals for the second time. The leaders above are also more interested in football, and the enthusiasm of the people across the country to participate in football is unprecedentedly high. Everyone hopes that the football authorities can introduce some good policies and use the current good conditions to effectively promote the progress of Chinese football and formulate a set of football policies that focus on the future, benefit the present, and benefit future generations...

If the higher-level football management department just lies on the current achievements and sleeps, then Chinese football will once again lose a great opportunity for development and progress - the last time the Chinese team entered the World Cup finals in South Korea and Japan, Chinese society also had such conditions, but the Chinese football sports authorities failed to seize this opportunity, which led to Chinese football falling into a long-term trough.

In addition, there is also an interesting episode on the Chinese Internet.

After the match between Dortmund and Atletico Madrid, Zhou Yi, who had not updated his Weibo for a long time, suddenly posted a Weibo.

The content is very simple, just one sentence: "Bìménzàochē, chūmén hé zhé." (Closing the door to build a cart, going out to match the ruts.)

But everyone knows what he means—before the game, there was a football commentator in China who was very famous but also very controversial, criticized Dortmund's closed training practice, using the idiom "bìménzàochē".

"Bìménzàochē" as a very well-known idiom in China, is used to satirize those who do not conduct investigation and research, and only rely on subjective imagination to do things. Criticizing people who do this as being conservative and not in line with objective reality.

This is an absolutely derogatory term.

But in fact, this meaning is the misunderstanding formed in the long-term dissemination of this idiom...

The original source of this idiom is what Zhu Xi of the Song Dynasty said in the fifth volume of "Sishu Huowen": "The ancient saying 'bìménzàochē, chūmén hé zhé' means that the methods are the same."

It is willing to say that as long as according to the same specifications and methods, even if you build a car behind closed doors, you can meet the specifications of the ruts outside and be able to drive smoothly on the road...

Completely opposite to the current popular meaning.

But many people know the former meaning, and few people know the latter meaning.

Whenever people talk about doing things blindly behind closed doors, everyone will think of the idiom "bìménzàochē".

So it seems that there is nothing wrong with that famous sports V using "bìménzàochē" to criticize and satirize Dortmund's closed training.

It's just that I didn't expect the Dortmund chariot built behind closed doors to match the ruts and crush Atletico Madrid into minced meat...

This is satire.

So Zhou Yi used the original meaning of bìménzàochē to fight back against the criticism from that sports V.

You must know that at that time, this sports V, with 5 million fans, was still very influential on Weibo, and his Weibo was naturally forwarded and commented on by countless people. Many people followed him and agreed with him, believing that Dortmund's closed training camp was simply a historical reversal and a very stupid move.

At that time, Zhou Yi did not express any opinions online. Before that, he had not appeared on Weibo for several months.

No one expected that Zhou Yi was hiding on the Internet and watching all this.

He didn't say anything at the time, just because he wanted to use facts to speak...

Now that the game results are out, he certainly won't let that sports V go.

He posted such a Weibo, criticizing the V who wanted to take the opportunity to create a big news without naming him.

This V is a famous football commentator, but his reputation on the Internet is actually mixed. Some people support him and like his true temperament, but some people hate his big mouth.

Before Zhou Yi spoke, although some of those who hated him also expressed their opinions, they were small in number and weak, and without facts as a result, there was no influence in saying anything empty-handed.

Zhou Yi's sentence set an example for those who couldn't stand this V, took the lead, and for a time the Internet was full of ridicule and criticism of this V...

And Zhou Yi? After once again launching an online "bloody storm", he disappeared again.

After all, the next schedule is also very difficult, and he has no time to fight online...

That V didn't say anything either. After all, the facts are here. Dortmund, who "closed the door to build a cart", fought a beautiful turnaround. Faced with this iron-like result, no matter how great the V's verbal skills are, he can't say that Dortmund's victory is a failure, right?

I had to swallow this dumb loss...
