Although they won the sixth Spanish national derby against Barcelona, they completed many great achievements such as six wins over Barcelona, 39 games unbeaten, and winning the championship three rounds in advance.
But Real Madrid did pay a certain price for this game.
Although Ronaldo has always been known for his good physical fitness, the continuous multi-line battles still made his body tired.
This tough national derby at Camp Nou caused Ronaldo to have physical problems.
Although he was fine at the time, he strained his calf during routine training on April 23, the third day after the game, and had to rest in the second round of the Champions League semi-final.
With Cristiano Ronaldo, injured Xabi Alonso and Benzema, and suspended Ramos, Real Madrid will be missing four main players in the second round of the Champions League semi-final against Chelsea, which will have a significant impact on their lineup.
Of course, the best news is that Lu Wenbin is fine.
Apart from the cold he caught during the Olympic team's Austrian Asian preliminaries, Lu Wenbin has never been injured and is definitely an iron man.
As long as Lu Wenbin is there, Real Madrid's chances of winning are high.
What's more, Real Madrid still has a 2-0 aggregate score and two away goals.
As long as Chelsea insists on playing defensive counterattacks, they will have to attack. Real Madrid's attack line, led by Lu Wenbin, has a high chance of scoring a counterattack.
On April 24, the second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Barcelona and Bayern Munich took place.
Barcelona, which had a fierce battle with Real Madrid in the league, failed to complete the miracle of a home comeback and drew 2-2 with Bayern Munich at Camp Nou. In the end, they lost the semi-finals with an aggregate score of 3-4 and watched Bayern Munich advance to this season's Champions League final.
On April 25, it was the turn of the second round of the semi-final between Real Madrid and Chelsea.
The advantage Real Madrid has over Barcelona is that they are leading in the overall score.
Therefore, Real Madrid can firmly play its defensive counterattack at the Bernabeu, while Chelsea, who are behind in the aggregate score, have to press forward on the offense.
Chelsea, who were forced into a desperate situation, deployed a 433 offensive formation at the Bernabeu. The three forwards Drogba, Torres and Lukaku all appeared on the field and bombarded Real Madrid's half from the first minute of the game.
However, although Ramos and Xabi Alonso failed to play, the central defender combination of Carvalho and Pepe, and the double defensive midfielder configuration of Khedira and Diarra, are not weak in defensive ability at all.
It’s just that Diarra’s offensive ability is not as good as Alonso’s.
But in the counterattack, as long as Diarra can grab the ball and pass it to Lu Wenbin, Kaka, Ozil and others, Real Madrid's offense will not be greatly affected.
In the 13th minute, Chelsea's continued attack earned a corner kick. Mata took the corner kick and Drogba headed the ball in the penalty area, but it was slightly higher than the crossbar.
In the 20th minute, Torres cut in from the wing and made a triangle pass. Lampard raised his foot and shot in the penalty area. The ball flew across the penalty area like a cannonball and headed straight for the goal.
But Casillas reacted quickly and poked the ball out of the baseline with his fingertips.
In the subsequent corner kick, Chelsea failed to get the first point, and Carvalho got the first point and headed the ball out of the penalty area to clear it.
The attack continued but we were unable to score.
Finally, in the 28th minute, Chelsea was hit by a quick counterattack by Real Madrid.
Khedira won the header battle with Essien in the midfield, grabbed the first point and headed the ball to Marcelo not far from the wing.
Marcelo stopped the ball and passed past Torres who was trying to steal the ball, then dribbled forward, crossed the center line and passed the ball diagonally to Kaka.
But Marcelo did not retreat, but continued to move forward, looking like he was going to make a one-two with Kaka, forcing the Chelsea defender who was going to press Kaka to retreat with Marcelo.
Kaka did not pass the ball back to Marcelo. Instead, he made a fake move to pass the ball to Marcelo and immediately turned around and made a diagonal pass to Lu Wenbin who was running wildly in the middle.
Central defender Cahill was following Lu Wenbin back to defense, but Lu Wenbin easily won the speed contest with Cahill and was about to touch the ball.
However, there was a central defender named Terry in the penalty area. When he saw that Cahill failed to keep up with Lu Wenbin, he immediately left Higuain behind and rushed out to grab the ball.
But Lu Wenbin is faster.
He touched the ball before Terry, and with an unexpected Marseille turn, he passed the unprepared Terry in the penalty area.
Lu Wenbin's 19-point creativity came into play at this moment. This Marseille turn was used quite suddenly, leaving Terry, a world-class central defender, completely unprepared and easily broken through.
After passing the last defender Terry, Lu Wenbin had a one-on-one chance and the rest was easy.
Lu Wenbin made a low shot and kicked the ball towards the goal before Cahill could make a tackle.
The ball went into the goal from under goalkeeper Cech's armpit.
Real Madrid launched a successful counterattack, with Kaka assisting Lu Wenbin to complete the final shot. Real Madrid led 1-0 at home and 3-0 in the aggregate.
This score basically spells the death of Chelsea.
Facing Real Madrid led by Lu Wenbin, it was extremely difficult to score three goals in a row and prevent Real Madrid from scoring any more goals.
Sure enough, the following game did not surprise anyone.
In the 39th minute, although Chelsea scored a goal, not long after the start of the second half, in the 52nd minute, Lu Wenbin used an unexpected long pass to find Marcelo who was unguarded on the wing.
Marcelo cut inside without being guarded and shot into the far corner from outside the penalty area.
Real Madrid took the lead again 2-1, the aggregate score became 4-1, and Chelsea was still three goals behind.
In the 75th minute, Chelsea equalized with a wonderful long-range shot by Lampard, but Chelsea was still two goals behind and had to continue attacking.
If they want to continue attacking, they will have to face Real Madrid's counterattack and the consequences of an empty backcourt.
In the 84th minute, Real Madrid intercepted the ball again and got a chance to counterattack.
Lu Wenbin passed two players in the middle and drove straight into the goal before passing the ball to the side. Ozil dribbled the ball inside from the side and made a triangle pass back to Lu Wenbin, which shook goalkeeper Cech, and then he suddenly shot from a small angle.
The ball went into the goal through the narrow gap between Cech and the goal post.
Real Madrid led 3-2 again and was three goals ahead in the aggregate score of 5-2.
But there is less than 10 minutes left for Chelsea.
In the remaining time, Chelsea made a desperate effort and pressed forward on all fronts, but Mourinho interrupted Chelsea's offensive rhythm by constantly making substitutions.
After 3 minutes of stoppage time, the referee blew the whistle to end the game. Real Madrid defeated Chelsea with a total score of 2-0 in the first leg away and 3-2 at home in the second leg, 5-2 in both legs, and advanced to the 2011/2012 UEFA Champions League final.
It has been ten years since Real Madrid last reached the Champions League final in the 2001/2002 season.
Ten years ago, Real Madrid's top star Zidane scored a goal from the sky and won Real Madrid the ninth Champions League.
Ten years later, Real Madrid has reached the final again. Can the current top star Lu Wenbin help Real Madrid realize the dream of winning the tenth Champions League
The final result will be announced on the night of the Champions League final on May 19.
As for Lu Wenbin, he is approaching a personal record: the Champions League's historical total goal list.
After the second round of the Champions League match against Chelsea, Lu Wenbin's total number of goals in the Champions League this season has reached the 20-goal mark, and his total number of goals in the Champions League has reached a terrifying 69.
As of now, the top of the Champions League history goal list is Real Madrid's former flag bearer Raul. He has scored a total of 71 Champions League goals in his career, ranking first in the Champions League history goal list.
Ranked second is Lu Wenbin with 69, third is Van Nistelrooy, and fourth is Henry.
Raul, Van Nistelrooy and Henry have all retired from the mainstream European leagues, and only Lu Wenbin is still in his prime.
With 69 goals, he is close to Raul's Champions League record of 71 goals.
In the last Champions League final of this season, if Lu Wenbin can score twice, he will tie Raul's record.
As long as he performs a hat trick, he will surpass Raul, create a new Champions League goal record and become the top scorer in the Champions League.
As many media have said, Lu Wenbin is either breaking records or on his way to breaking records. He is an absolute record breaker.
After playing the Champions League semi-finals and returning to the domestic league, Real Madrid, having already won the championship in advance, will of course focus on adjusting their status in the remaining games and preparing for the Champions League final and the Copa del Rey final.
However, there are still three league games left and Real Madrid cannot give up completely.
Because Real Madrid still has a great record to strive for, that is to win the championship with an unbeaten record in the season.
Before this, only AC Milan in Serie A and Arsenal in the Premier League had won the championship undefeated in the top five European leagues.
Although Real Madrid has won the championship three rounds in advance, if they lose one game in the last three rounds, they will miss this great record.
Winning the championship without losing a game during the season is still quite a gimmick.
As preparations for the Champions League final and the Copa del Rey final cannot be completed entirely on the training ground, Mourinho used the last three rounds of the league to train, adjust the condition of the main players, and prepare for the two finals.
Only Real Madrid, which has already won the championship, has the luxury of using official matches for training.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, which is still competing with Dortmund for the league title, is probably not so idle.
On April 29, in the 36th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Sevilla at home.
As a tradition of La Liga, during the pre-match entrance ceremony, Sevilla lined up at the exit of the player tunnel to welcome this season's La Liga champions Real Madrid into the stadium.
The Sevilla coach is not yet able to refuse to line up to welcome last season's champions Barcelona like Mourinho did.
In this game, Mourinho sent out a lineup of half main players and half substitutes. Cristiano Ronaldo, Alonso, Benzema and others who returned from injury started the game, while Lu Wenbin, who had been playing continuously, sat on the bench.
Real Madrid, who used the game as training, was a little slow to get into the game. In the 17th minute, they took advantage of a back-pass error by Real Madrid's backcourt and made a direct shot to score. Sevilla led Real Madrid 1-0 at the Bernabeu.
However, even if Lu Wenbin did not play, Real Madrid's overall strength is still far stronger than Sevilla.
In the 34th minute, Real Madrid finally equalized the score with a powerful shot from Ronaldo in the penalty area.
Before the end of the first half, Xabi Alonso made a quick pass and Benzema received the ball in the penalty area and easily scored.
Cristiano Ronaldo, Alonso and Benzema, who returned from injury, all performed well, and the team reversed the score 2-1. Mourinho also smiled off the field.
However, just after the start of the second half, Sevilla took advantage of the carelessness of the Real Madrid team and scored an equalizer, tying the score to 2-2.
The score remained 2-2 until the 75th minute, when Mourinho substituted Lu Wenbin to find his feel for the game.
Lu Wenbin did not disappoint. Not long after he came on the pitch, in the 79th minute, he used a straight pass of more than 30 meters in a counterattack to directly penetrate Sevilla's defense.
C Ronaldo successfully made an offside move and received a pass from Lu Wenbin behind Sevilla's defense line and shot into the far corner.
Real Madrid took a 3-2 lead.
The score did not change until the end of the game.
Just when everyone thought that Real Madrid would win the game, reach 100 league points and set a new La Liga points record, in the 92nd minute, Sevilla's harmless long shot from outside the penalty area hit Pepe's back and refracted, then flew into the goal in front of the stunned eyes of all Real Madrid fans.
Casillas, who had already made a save, could only turn his head helplessly due to the inertia of his center of gravity and watch the ball fall into the net from the opposite direction of his save.
The three points turned into one point, and the 100 points that were thought to create a new La Liga points record turned into 98 points. This really made the players and fans of Real Madrid collectively vomit blood. Pepe also lifted his clothes and covered his face.
Fortunately, Real Madrid's unbeaten record has not been broken. Real Madrid still maintains its unbeaten record this season and extends the unbeaten streak across seasons to 40 games.
After a week's break, on May 5, in the 37th round of La Liga, Real Madrid played away against Granada.
After a week's rest, Real Madrid's main players played and took the lead in the 8th minute. The goal was scored by Lu Wenbin.
After 90 minutes, the score on the big screen was 1-5. Real Madrid, with all its main players in the field, finally won a big victory again, beating their opponents 5-1 away from home, and Lu Wenbin performed a hat trick.
As a result, Real Madrid completed the feat of breaking 100 points in the La Liga for the first time this season with 32 wins, 5 draws and 101 points in 37 league games, setting a new record for La Liga points.
Moreover, Real Madrid only has one game left to win the title without losing the season.
As long as Real Madrid wins the last league game, they will be able to join AC Milan and Arsenal in completing the feat of winning the championship without losing a game in the season.
Therefore, on May 13, 2012, the Bernabeu Stadium became a place of carnival and celebration for Real Madrid fans. Not only was the stadium packed, but there were also countless fans outside the stadium who did not have tickets and were waiting for the game to end to celebrate their undefeated season and championship.
At 19:00 in the evening, the 38th round of La Liga, which is also the last round of the 2011/2012 season, all 20 teams and ten games started at the same time, and Real Madrid played against Mallorca at home.
