Real Madrid – Wolfsburg: Mission impossible!

(Baonghean.vn) In the early morning of April 13, Real Madrid will have a reunion with the team from Germany - Wolfsburg at home stadium Bernabeu, in the second leg of the Champions League Quarterfinals.

Last week, Real Madrid was the topic that most interested the football fans. Under coach Zidane, the White Vultures are showing a strong revival in the domestic arena - La Liga. The fact that they stopped Barcelona's 39-match unbeaten streak with a 2-1 victory at Now Camp made many people mistakenly think that Real's "love affair" with Zidane would be one of the sweetest love songs at Bernabeu.

However, football is always a sport that has hidden risks and contains many surprises. Although it is known that on the Champions League front, the Spanish Royal team went straight to the quarter-finals with an undefeated record in the qualifying round and defeated AS Roma in the round of 16.

However, behind that series of sublime matches is a harsh reality. It was subjectivity and arrogance that made the Spanish Royal team pay the price when the players all played below their ability and easily fell 0-2 to a "small" Wolfsburg. The defeat was too humiliating, in a way that no one expected. A very dull face, lacking vitality when the defense was loose, the attack was not sharp.

Ronaldo (right) continues to be Real's number 1 hope.

Will that be enough for Real's stars to set foot on the ground in the match to welcome the "Blue Wolves" early tomorrow morning?

The resounding 4-star victory over Eibar is a great start before the “match of the season”. However, the current disadvantage and the “bad statistics” and the fear of being eliminated early from the Champions League title race are making Real feel like they are being weighed down by “tons” of pressure. History shows that Real has never successfully come back from a 2-goal deficit since 1987.

Meanwhile, since September 2014 until now, Wolfsburg has never conceded more than 2 goals in European competitions and won 5, drew 2, lost 2. They also left Spain twice with a 2-2 result against Villarreal in the 2009-2010 season and 1-2 against Atletico Madrid in the 1999-2000 season. That is a huge barrier that affects the mentality of Real players.

Meanwhile, the “Blue Wolves” marched to Bernabue with a relaxed but extremely stubborn mentality, playing a tight defensive style to preserve their advantage and waiting for the opponent’s weaknesses to counterattack quickly, launching a decisive blow to defeat their opponent. This can be considered a reasonable choice when a Real with nothing left to lose will launch an all-out attack in order to turn the tide. Remember, under coach Zidane, the White Vultures are not a team good at imposing their playing style.

It can be said that Real Madrid has never faced such difficulties as now. Memories of a trophyless season like the 2012-2013 season under the “Special One” Mourinho are flooding back. A real test that will not have an easy answer for Zidan and his team.

No matter how perfect Zidane’s comeback plan is, its success depends on the magic feet of the BBC trio with their peak form and excitement. But it seems that the second chapter of the French coach’s legendary song may have to wait until the new season.

At the same time, Paris S.Germain will travel to Man City's Etihad Stadium. In the first leg in France, the two teams drew with four goals scored, divided equally between the two teams.
