The results of the draw for the semi-finals of the Champions League have come out. This year's theme is West Germany, where the two major leagues are fighting each other.

Such a lottery result has also aroused widespread discussion in the European media.

The battle between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, needless to say, can be said to be a battle between the two most influential giants in world football.

Moreover, both teams performed very well in European competitions. At the turn of the century more than ten years ago, both teams were very strong. At that time, the battle between Bayern and Real Madrid was called the European Derby.

But in general, Bayern is very dominant in terms of record, especially in the last two Champions League encounters, Bayern successfully eliminated Real Madrid, and the most recent one was the 1112 season two seasons ago, which happened to be in the Champions League In the semi-finals, Bayern eliminated Real Madrid on penalties at the Bernabeu.

Another point is that Bayern has played against Real Madrid at home 10 times in history, with 9 wins and 1 draw, which is very tough.

It is probably because of these data that Bayern is very confident that it will not be a big problem to eliminate Real Madrid.

Even Eunuch Hai, who has already retired, came forward to offer a suggestion, "It's very simple to play away first and then play Real Madrid as the main player. As long as you don't lose too much at the Bernabeu and try to score away goals, then you will naturally advance when you return to home."

Eunuch Hai's statement doesn't seem to take Real Madrid too much.

In general, the media generally believe that the semi-final between Bayern and Real Madrid is basically an early final, and whoever wins will enter the final and win the championship.

On the other side, Schalke played against Atletico Madrid. This set of matchups is considered a dark horse battle.

Both Schalke and Atletico Madrid are considered dark polo teams in the Champions League.

In fact, Schalke has reached the semi-finals of the Champions League three times in four years. Such a performance can be said to be second only to Bayern and Real Madrid in the last four seasons. Ke is not competitive in the Champions League and is a dark horse.

It may be that Schalke did not perform well in the previous two trips to the Champions League semi-finals. The first time was a home and away game by Manchester United with a big score. Another fiasco.

It is these performances that make the media generally believe that Schalke's overall strength is still not good enough, far from reaching the level that can hit the Champions League.

As for Atletico Madrid, they are the real super dark horses. They performed well in both the Champions League and La Liga this season. To be fierce is to attack the trend towards the double crown.

Moreover, Atletico Madrid is still the same as Schalke in the Champions League. They came all the way as a strong team. They eliminated the seven-time champion AC Milan in the top 16, and eliminated the former Cosmos team Barcelona in the top 8. Their performance is really amazing.

It is worth mentioning that Atletico Madrid is currently the only undefeated team in the Champions League this season, and they have never lost a game until now.

That is to say, combining these, so the media ranked Atletico Madrid ahead of Schalke when ranking their strength.

And considering the historical record, Atletico Madrid also has an overall advantage against Schalke. The two teams have met twice in the Champions League. Schalke is hard to find a win in the four games, and they were eventually eliminated by a large score.

Comparing the results of the Champions League, Atletico Madrid is also slightly better.

This year is the third time in the history of the Schalke team that they have reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid is the fourth time in team history.

Schalke only reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 2011, and Atletico Madrid had reached the semi-finals of the Champions League as early as 1959, and it happened to step on Schalke in the quarter-finals.

Schalke has never reached the Champions League final in history, but Atletico Madrid has scored once.

In general, both are dark horses, but Atletico Madrid seem to overwhelm Schalke in every aspect.

Comprehensive consideration, this year's Champions League semi-final matchup between the two groups, Bayern has a small advantage over Real Madrid, and Atletico Madrid has a small advantage over Schalke, so most people are generally optimistic that Bayern will play Atletico Madrid in the final.

It is worth mentioning that this season, two Bundesliga teams have advanced to the semi-finals of the Champions League. This is the second time in Bundesliga history.

The last time, that is, last season, the three Bundesliga teams entered the semi-finals.

Both the Bundesliga and La Liga have entered the semi-finals, and they did not meet in advance to fight a civil war. In principle, both La Liga and Bundesliga have the opportunity to win this year's Champions League final.

If there is a sweep of the final, whether it is La Liga sweep or Bundesliga sweep, it will be the second time in the history of its own league, and it will also be the first time that a league has successfully swept the Champions League final twice.

In addition, in terms of points in the European competition, the Premier League has all been eliminated. There are no Premier League teams in the Champions League or the Europa League. In the Bundesliga, Bayern and Schalke continue to struggle in the Champions League.

According to the latest European war points, if Schalke and Bayern can jointly get 6 points in the European war, the Bundesliga can surpass the Premier League in one fell swoop and become the second European league.

The two teams teamed up to score 6 points. This task is not easy, because it has reached the semi-final stage of the Champions League, and each team has at most three games to play.

The German media has already calculated for the two teams. If Bayern and Schalke can jointly win the final, it will definitely be enough.

If a team wants to advance from the semi-finals to the final, the minimum points they can score are to advance after two consecutive draws, or to advance after one win and one loss.

Regardless of whether it is two consecutive draws or one win and one loss, you can get 2 points for the European War, plus 1 point for advancing to the finals, a total of 3 points.

Both teams have successfully advanced to the finals, so naturally they will get at least 6 points, and at least 2 points will be generated in the finals, which is completely enough.

It is worth mentioning that the distribution of European points in the Champions League final is that if a team wins the championship within 120 minutes, the winning team will get 2 points and the other team will not score.

If it is a penalty shootout after 120 minutes, the winner gets 2 points and the loser gets 1 point.

So a Champions League final may generate 2 points or 3 points.

However, although winning the final is the most ideal situation, considering that Schalke's strength is weaker than that of Atletico Madrid, the German media also made other considerations.

If Schalke is eliminated by Atletico Madrid, it will not get a point, and Bayern needs to get 6 points alone.

There are only two situations for Bayern to score 6 points alone.

One is to double kill Real Madrid to advance to the final, and then guarantee not to lose for 120 minutes in the final, then at least one point in the penalty shootout is just right.

The second is to eliminate Real Madrid with one win and one tie to advance to the final, and then must win the championship in the final, which is just enough.

In short, the Bundesliga has been strong in the past two seasons, and the German media is already planning to be promoted to the second league.

For this reason, they also specially reminded Schalke that even if they really can't beat Atletico Madrid, they should try their best to grab some points so as to reduce the burden on Bayern.

It will take some time for the semi-finals of the Champions League. Schalke must first consider the Bundesliga.

On April 12, in the 30th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke played against Frankfurt at home.

Since the Champions League semi-finals will not come until after the 31st round of the league, Schalke does not need to consider the issue of rotation for the time being.

In addition, Schalke's points have reached 68 points before. As long as they win this round, Schalke will create a new Bundesliga points record, 71 points.

The previous points record was actually only 70 points created last season. Although it cannot be compared with Bayern's record of 91 points, it is still a record anyway, and it must be won if it can be won.

In addition, in this round of the league, Bayern will face the Hornets at home. The South King has lost two consecutive rounds in the Bundesliga. Maybe they will continue to lose points, so Schalke will go all out to see if they can continue to recover some points. .

Taking these considerations into account, Schalke is trying to win at home.

At the Schalke Stadium, although Schalke encountered some resistance, they still won the game smoothly.

In the first half, Frankfurt's tenacious defense once made Schalke helpless, but in the second half, Kolasinac's pass forced the opposing defender Madron to score an own goal, and finally opened the situation.

In the 76th minute, Draxler broke into the penalty area and made a penalty. Lee Chenglong made the penalty, and then the teenager Meyer, who came off the bench before the end, scored another goal to help Schalke completely seal the victory.

In this way, Schalke won Frankfurt with 30 points at home, refreshing their Bundesliga points record to 71 points.

Refreshing their own team history points record for two consecutive years, and at the same time reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League for two consecutive years, Schalke has indeed entered the peak period since the establishment of the Bundesliga.
