On the evening of May 3rd, the entire team did not go home, but instead gathered together to watch the match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.

No one could have predicted that the Madrid derby would extend into the Champions League.

The big screen is currently showing the live broadcast of the first leg of the Champions League semi-final, between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid. Their match is scheduled for tomorrow night, when they will host Juventus at home.

Just as everyone was watching the game quietly and attentively, a goal around the 10th minute made everyone hold their heads in disbelief, exclaiming how brilliant it was.

"Cristiano Ronaldo's header, 1-0"

In the replay on the screen, Cristiano Ronaldo intercepted the ball amidst the chaos and scored with a powerful header against Atletico Madrid.

This man's strength was so great that Mbappe, standing next to Lei Ming, was dazzled.

Lei Ming couldn't help but whisper to him, "Kilian, I suggest you also practice your heading skills. That might surprise you."

"Well, although I've been practicing, it's still quite difficult to reach the level of an idol."

Mbappe expressed his apprehension.

Currently, his main shooting methods are almost all two-footed shots; he is not very good at heading.

The reason why Cristiano Ronaldo is his idol is because this man is too versatile, so versatile that people can clearly feel the gap between them.

As the match continued, Real Madrid's attack consistently pressured Atletico Madrid, with the midfield trio of Modric, Kroos, Casemiro, and others demonstrating undeniable dominance.

However, in the first half, although Real Madrid had many chances, Benzema, Real Madrid's striker, seemed to be completely out of form today. He failed to get his shots on target several times, let alone score.

It's clear from the footage that Benzema himself was quite embarrassed!

This prompted Mbappe to joke, "If Real Madrid doesn't win this game, then I think the blame will fall on Benzema again, hahaha!"

"You can't say that entirely. Atletico Madrid's defense isn't made of paper either. Benzema's mistake actually demonstrates Atletico Madrid's defensive capabilities." Compared to Benzema, who is the focus of everyone's attention, Lei Ming is more concerned about the defensive systems of the two teams.

Overall, their defense was quite solid, and they didn't make any major mistakes.

However, when the game entered the second half, Ronaldo's sudden rise stunned Atletico Madrid fans and left Atletico Madrid coach Simeone on the sidelines somewhat bewildered.

In the 78th minute, Ronaldo had a rather sudden opportunity in the attacking third. Kroos passed the ball to Marcelo, who then passed it to Benzema in the attacking third. At that time, Atletico Madrid's defense was somewhat off-target due to the presence of Modric and Asensio, which gave Benzema the opportunity to receive the ball with his back to goal.

Benzema paused cleverly with the ball, fully demonstrating his instincts as a top striker. This pause also fooled Atletico Madrid's defenders, giving him the opportunity to pass the ball to Ronaldo on the other side.

Faced with this rather sudden opportunity, Ronaldo handled it very calmly, feeling the ball's trajectory and unleashing a powerful volley that left Atletico Madrid's goalkeeper with no chance to make an effective save.

His shot perfectly demonstrated what it means to be confident yet powerful.

But that wasn't the end of it. Ten minutes later, the huge Bernabéu Stadium was filled with the excited shouts of Ronaldo from the fans once again.

He also made everyone realize why he was called the Atlético Madrid killer when facing Atlético Madrid.

Cristiano Ronaldo received a pass from his teammate in the penalty area and slotted the ball home to complete his hat-trick.

Shortly after Ronaldo scored the goal, the game came to an end.

After the match, many media outlets marked Ronaldo's name with 8 goals.

It's hard to imagine that this man, who only scored two goals in the round of 16, now has eight goals, further breaking his own record for Champions League goals.

In Monaco's tactics room, Mbappe, seeing his idol's victory, excitedly gave Lei Ming a big hug.

Awesome!

That was awesome!

A Champions League hat-trick!

At this moment, Mbappe is also looking forward to his performance in tomorrow's game. He has a feeling that he will dominate the home field just like his idol.

The head coach turned off the somewhat noisy screen at this moment. Real Madrid fans really deserved to celebrate. With a three-goal lead, Atletico Madrid's hopes of a comeback in the next match were extremely slim. After all, the Galacticos are not made of plastic.

"Guys, after watching the match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid, were you as excited as I was, and did you also hope to achieve a resounding victory like Real Madrid?"

"Indeed, Juventus is a long-standing Serie A powerhouse with many top stars in their squad, such as Buffon, Higuain, Dybala, Alves, Cuadrado, Sandro, and so on."

"But the reason we are able to stand here is because we are not some lucky dark horse; we have come this far through our own strength."

"You've outmaneuvered Tottenham, defeated Manchester City, and slashed Borussia Dortmund. Now I hope you can beat Juventus to a pulp in the semi-finals as well."

"So, guys, take your current passion and get a good night's rest. Tomorrow at this time, you will be introducing yourselves to the world with your abilities. You will impress those who are watching you with your performance."

"As a coach, I am very happy to have worked with everyone this season. We have had a great time together, and it has been an unforgettable season for me."

"But as a coach, I also need to remind you that as long as the season is not over, the challenges you face are not over either. You must not be disturbed by all sorts of rumors and speculations. Only results are the honor you should have and strive for with all your might."

"Only by leaving here with enough honor will you be respected by your future teammates. Otherwise, you will always be just an unknown nobody in other people's eyes."

"Now, tell me, do you have confidence?"

"Monaco will win!"

"Monaco will win!"

Inspired by the head coach, everyone united as one, clasped their hands together, and roared out their declaration in the tactics room.
