Mbappe, who was born in 1998, is still there, and when he looks around, he is full of the shadows of two post-80s generations.
Losing the first leg, playing 1 hour and 1 goal behind in the second leg, Real Madrid stopped in the round of 16? Change your life against the sky, it only takes 16 minutes and 41 seconds!
In this Jedi reversal, Benzema, who scored the second fastest hat-trick in the Champions League, and Modric, who are integrated with the attack and defense of the whole field, are still the cornerstones of the team's turnaround.
For the 72-year-old "Xuan Di Second Elder", such a routine operation has been flashed back many times in the past few seasons, no matter how fresh the surprises brought by Florentino to Real Madrid fans this summer, the "reassurance pill" exclusive to the second old, although late but arriving, never absent.
Benzema shows off his muscles.
Hero "Back Pot Man"
In the second match of Real Madrid paris, the protagonist is obviously Mbappe, who was killed in the first leg of the world wave.
In the first 45 minutes of the match, the Paris 7 was infinitely close to killing the game in advance - except for the goal, a single knife and a goal were blown, which made Real Madrid nervous. In fact, until the game came an hour or so, Paris was infinitely close to the side that advanced. But apparently, Pochettino missed Benzema's existence.
In the face of Real Madrid's sharp full-court high pressure, Donnarumma, who was not known for his foot skills, received a return pass and dragged the ball, and Benzema, who was forced to grab it, completed the ball and then broke the goal.
Although Pochettino strongly protested after the game that Benzema fouled the ball first, and Paris president Nasser and director Leonardo blocked the referee's locker room to discuss the arguments, it is clear that the result cannot be changed.
This super huge mistake made Paris collapse in this mentality, "We knew that it would be different in Madrid, although we conceded the ball first, but we believed that there was a chance. ”
Benzema, who reviewed the game after the game, looked like a calm face of uncertain prophets: "The goalkeeper (Donnarumma) waited and waited, and as a result, he lost the ball, he should directly break the siege, it's as simple as that." ”
Ancelotti, who was saved by Benzema, blew the goal into the sky: "Benzema's goal opened the situation for us, and then the magic of the Bernabeu came." ”
Vinicius assisted Benzema's goal.
Inspection? I'm the male number one!
Despite the bumpy career trajectory since his debut, Benzema's ball dealer is obviously the first gear on the planet, and in terms of pressure on the goalkeeper, Real Madrid No. 9 has been full of experience in recent years.
In the 2017-2018 Champions League final, Karius made a low-level mistake in the face of Benzema's pressing, directly throwing the ball at Benzema's feet, who gladly sent the pie that fell from the sky into the empty goal.
Perhaps this leak is too famous, before the semi-final against Bayern, Benzema's similar goal has been rarely mentioned for many years - when Bayern goalkeeper Urreich attacked to prepare to break the siege, but in the face of Benzema's pressing, he actually missed it, allowing the Real Madrid striker to easily break the goal.
Benzema and Modric celebrate goals.
In the half, the first goal was the turning point of the game, and Benzema's last two goals completely killed the game: the depressed Paris general, two goals conceded by Neymar's procrastination, and a gift from the ghostly Maquinhos.
And when the ecstatic Benzema rushed to the sidelines to celebrate, Mbappe, who was far in the middle circle, was blue in the face, with obvious shortness of breath and facial muscles. This duel between the two generations of French gods was completely condensed on the two people's very different looks.
As the first player to wear a hat against Paris in the Champions League knockout rounds, Benzema officially won the battle - 309 club goals surpassed Di Stefano, 67 goals in the Champions League surpassed Raul, and is also the fifth player since the Champions League restructuring that the team needs 3 goals to avoid a hat-trick, and 8 goals is also a new single-season production in the Champions League.
After the match, the Real Madrid press used the crown to spell out "KB9" (the abbreviation of Benzema's name and number) to pay tribute to the promoted heroes.
Modric shoveled Messi.
The ceremony halfway court was demolished? I'm a jack-of-all
The train runs fast, all by the headband, but the engine of Real Madrid in this game is two of three: Casemiro visited the Parc des Princes stadium and was suspended, Andoni Kroos was injured in La Liga in the last round, and he was replaced after playing less than an hour.
Real Madrid's "ceremonial halffield" of the Three Champions League in a row, only the eldest Modric remained.
It is true that the young and old Valverde is the helper of the "magic flute" in this game, but first-year student Camaringa has never experienced a similar big battle. At the moment, Modric, who had half a year left to blow out 37 birthday candles, once again explained what a hero is.
As the oldest starter of Real Madrid, the "Magic Flute" who played for 90 minutes delivered 1 assist, 2 shots and 1 shot on target, 3 dribbling all successful, 69 passes and 61 successful passes, a success rate of 88%, 1 key pass, 10 long passes and 9 successes, creating 1 important opportunity.
Benzema lifted Modric.
There is no doubt that whether it is countering a long pass to find Vinicius who is advancing at a high speed, or directly assisting Benzema's second goal, Modric's sense of smell is still old.
Even more moving is that Modric is a part-time midfielder in this game, and he followed Messi throughout the game. It was he and Valverde who built the first line of defense to play a quick counterattack in the half and achieve a two-minute turnover.
Beating Paris with the tricks they excelled at wasn't an inventive invention – Modric and his team-mates had already deliberately done so a few days earlier in the league to beat Real Sociedad.
It is hard to imagine that the two technical masters, whose names are also "LM", who have won the Ballon d'Or and who also love the No. 10 jersey, will often get entangled like young players who have just debuted, and even have the famous scene of Modric shoveling Messi in the rear.
It is such a sacrificial "magic flute", the whole field 11 ground confrontations successfully 7 times, 2 times to break the siege, 4 times to shovel, many times appeared in key areas, the Paris group to cooperate with the life to intercept.
"That's how Real Madrid won!" After the game, he deliberately avoided the camera, leaving all the light to Benzema's "magic flute", and uploaded photos of himself sticking out his tongue to celebrate on social media.
High-profile competition, low-key people, what is the foundation of the giants? Take a look at Modric!
Ancelotti hugged Benzema.
Stand on the last shift
"They're getting better every day and it's great to work with them. Benzema was the magical leader, the magical striker, after being injured, and now he's back; and Modric, I don't know what else to say, no matter what position he plays, he always plays at his best level. ”
After the game, Ancelotti, who is accustomed to ups and downs, talked about the magical play of the second elder, and could not help but be moved, "This team has a different magic, I have experienced many games, but rarely such unforgettable nights. ”
Back 4 years ago, when the historic Champions League three consecutive Real Madrid, determined to start the reconstruction process, Florentino took the lead in giving up the high salary of C Ronaldo, and after three years of going around, he voted no confidence in the particularly favored Bale, and kicked out the captain Ramos, whose health was deteriorating, and the old team left in the Triple Crown era was only Benzema, who was questioned for many years to only play the tailwind ball, and Modric, who was only half a year younger than C Ronaldo.
When C Ronaldo traveled to the Serie A Premier League, and the name of the first generation was constantly worn down in rumors, the second elder who insisted on the Bernabeu bloomed with unprecedented brilliance.
However, with a long canopy for thousands of miles, there is no unbroken feast in the world. The "second elder" who has played for Real Madrid for more than 10 years, even if he does not serve the old, there is also a day to say goodbye.
Also before the start of the game, former Real Madrid manager Valdano talked about the team's next step of reconstruction: "Florentino can do everything, Real Madrid is renovating the Bernabeu stadium and will fill it with stars. ”
Considering that the "inspection battle" Mbappe was convinced, and the Haaland negotiations were carried out simultaneously, the Bernabeu Nos. 7 and No. 9 may be stamped with a new name next season, as the team's last generation of merits, where will Benzema and Modric go?
The problem for Real Madrid No. 9 is relatively simple, and after the european cup trip to the european cup, the World Cup at the end of the year is clearly the end of Benzema's national team career.
Benzema, who no longer has an obsession with the blueshirts, may be able to copy the club and Mbappe's heart, after all, the duo has sparked at the European Championship.
Benzema is no longer a "pot-carrying man".
And Modric, whose contract expires this summer, obviously does not have to worry about repeating the old path of C Ronaldo.
On the one hand, the Croatian salary requirements are not outrageous, and completely match the playing time and actual value; on the other hand, Modric, who has a good professional attitude, although he is old, has never touched the idea of pension in North America and Asia, and under Ancelotti's more reasonable rotation, the two sides have renewed their contracts until 2023, which is really happy.
This also means that Real Madrid, which now has a "two-headed" age structure, will not only strengthen unprecedentedly next season, but also "squeeze out" the energy and experience of veterans to the greatest extent. (Supine Braces/Yang Jian)
