On May 3, the front page of the Birmingham Evening News was a number 36/38!

"Aston Villa is only four rounds away from setting a great record of winning the season!"-

In the 34th round of the Premier League, Aston Villa defeated Manchester City 3-2 away. The Blue Moon was scored by Lukaku shortly after the opening and scored two goals in a row when one goal was behind. However, Aston Villa scored three-to-two with Mane and Kanter in the second half.

In the 35th round of the Premier League yesterday and today, Aston Villa defeated Everton three-to-zero at home, and Lewandowski scored a hat trick.

In this way, including the remaining thirty-six, thirty-seven and thirty-eight league rounds, plus the 33rd round of the league's home match with the Queen's Park Rangers, Aston Villa has four Premier League games to play this season.

A day later, Aston Villa's entire team set off from Birmingham to Madrid to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League semi-finals with Real Madrid.

At Madrid Airport, Fang Jue was chased by Madrid media.

"I don't want to hide anything. We're going to recover lost ground in the Champions League this season."

"Real Madrid is a great team worthy of respect, but I believe that Villa will eventually advance to the final."

Facing the microphone, Fang Jue expressed his determination to eliminate Real Madrid and advance to the finals, and even finally stand at the top of Europe.

Although Madrid people don’t like to listen to this, no media has criticized him and Aston Villa for being arrogant or disrespectful to their opponents.

There is nothing else, Fang Jue and Aston Villa are qualified to say such things.

He and his team are now the most terrifying team in Europe, no doubt about it.

Two days later, the night before the first leg of the semifinal match with Real Madrid, Aston Villa watched the first leg of another semifinal match together in the conference room of the hotel.

This is Barcelona playing Juventus away.

Enrique's Barcelona made a fantastic start just four minutes into the game. Iniesta assisted Rakitic to open the record, helping Barcelona take a 1-0 lead away.

Not long after the second half began, Tevez assisted Morata to score, helping Juventus tie the score one-to-one.

However, Barcelona soon assisted Suarez to score, rewriting the score to two-to-one.

Then in injury time, Pedro assisted Neymar to score a goal, locking the score at 3-1.

"Okay, we're going to bed and rest." After the game, assistant coach Sebalus quickly urged the players to go to bed and rest.

After the players left, Fang Jue and the coaching staff held a small meeting on the game that had just ended.

The general consensus is that if Aston Villa can eliminate Real Madrid and reach the Champions League final, the final opponent will be basically sure that Barcelona will be the one.

Barcelona is basically stable in the first leg of the away game, and there is no possibility of Juventus turning around at the Camp Nou.

...

"The passive situation in the same league is different. Our destiny in the Champions League is now in our own hands." Before the game began, in the home team's locker room at the Bernabeu Stadium, Real Madrid head coach Ancelotti was cheering the players.

In La Liga, after 35 rounds of the league, Real Madrid ranked second with 85 points, and Barcelona ranked first, with 87 points.

There are three rounds in the La Liga, and the difference between two points seems to be insurmountable, but for Real Madrid, their destiny is no longer in their own hands. In addition to winning all three games, they also have to expect Barcelona to fail in at least one game.

Real Madrid's fate in winning the La Liga championship is no longer completely in his own hands.

"This is our home court, our territory!"

“This is the Bernabeu.”

"Defending the dignity of Real Madrid is the only mission for everyone tonight."

Seeing the eager expressions on the players' faces, Ancelotti knew that his remarks had worked.

He admitted that Aston Villa was very strong, but Ancelotti did not think Real Madrid would have no chance to advance.

In fact, in terms of lineup strength alone, this Real Madrid team is considered to be above Aston Villa.

The Bernabeu Stadium was played on the big screen of today's game.

real Madrid:

Goalkeeper: Casillas;

Defence line: Carvajal, Pepe, Varane, Marcelo;

Midfielder: J Ronaldo, Ramos, Cross, Isco;

On the front line: Ronaldo, Bale;

Aston Villa:

Goalkeeper: Ter Stegen;

Defence line: Kyle Walker, Thiago Silva, Sendros, Milner;

Midfielder: Modric, Clement, Kaka;

Forwards: Mane, Lewandowski, Sanchez;

Ancelotti did not adopt conservative tactics. He knew that it was too difficult for Real Madrid to not concede the ball when facing Aston Villa with strong offensive firepower.

However, Real Madrid also did not take a radical and crazy attack.

What style is a team? It is closely related to the style of their head coach.

What style is Ancelotti?

Madrid media once used the word "no surprise of favor and disgrace" to praise Ancelotti.

Compared with his ex Mourinho, Ancelotti has a more peaceful mindset.

His "steady" mentality has greatly influenced the Real Madrid team.

In the words of "Maca", even if Real Madrid is behind in the score, Ancelotti is rarely impatient. He will appear calm on the sidelines. In this way, he will tell his players:

Don’t panic, take your time, and victory will definitely be ours.

The game just started six minutes.

Aston Villa gets a chance to set the ball in the frontcourt.

De Bruyne took the free kick into the penalty area. Lewandowski squeezed out Varane, who was defending him, and successfully grabbed the ball. He pushed out a bounce of the earth.

The football bounced in front of the goal, forming a V-shaped shape, and flew into the net from the right hand of Real Madrid goalkeeper Casillas.

“Gooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaal!”

"Lewandowski! Lewandowski! Robert Lewandowski, with a beautiful header, he scored for Aston Villa, Fang Jue's team got a fantastic start at the Bernabeu."

The camera immediately gave the coach's seat to the sidelines.

Fang Jue stood up from the seat and did not seem too excited. He just clapped his palm, waved his fists, and returned to his seat to sit down.
