Guillerme's goal was the last goal of the game.After that, although the coaches of both sides were mobilizing their troops, neither side was able to score again in the end.

In the end, this world-famous Champions League group match ended with a score of 3:3 at the Friuli Stadium.And Udinese was able to continue to rank first in Group B with its goal difference advantage.

Although it was just a draw, when the game ended, the Udinese fans at the Friuli Stadium were still very happy, as if they had won the game.

After the game, Ancelotti mentioned Bruno again, thinking that he showed a very high level of competition tonight, scored two goals, and planned Udinese's third goal. Without Bruno, Real Madrid would certainly have had a big win at the Estadio Friuli.

Ancelotti also specifically mentioned Bruno's first goal. He said: "It was an incredible goal. At that time, it did take a lot of courage to adopt such tactics, and Bruno was able to make it." To make a decision like this and score a goal like this, I think it’s very rare.”

Guidolin shares Ancelotti's view that Bruno is already a top European star.

"He is a player that any manager would never turn down, because he always puts the interests of the team before his personal interests. He is the most professional player I have ever seen. I feel proud of myself for being able to coach like Proud of a player like him."

Moreover, because Sampdoria also lost 0:1 to Inter Milan at the Meazza Stadium, of the 20 Serie A teams that remain undefeated, only Udinese is left.

………………

However, Udinese was not yet firmly at the top of the standings, and gave up the top spot in the first game entering November.

On the afternoon of November 11st, Udinese ushered in the 1th round of Serie A and faced Genoa at home, which defeated Juventus in the previous round.

Due to the challenge against Real Madrid at the Bernabeu Stadium in three days, Guidolin made some rotations to the starting players for this game, but Bruno and Di Natale still started.

At the Friuli Stadium, Udinese got off to a dream start. In the 22nd second, Di Natale received a pass from Bruno and scored the Genoa goal.

This is Di Natale's 8th Serie A goal this season. His career Serie A goals have risen to 213, only 3 goals behind Altafini and Meazza in front of him.

In the 54th minute, Jago Falke passed through, and Matri's shot hit the inside of the post and bounced in. He has scored in 4 consecutive away games, and Genoa once again led Udinese.

<divclass="contentadv">Although Bruno scored in the 78th minute of the game to equalize the score, Kuchka's long shot in the 87th minute defeated Udinese.

Genoa defeated the top team in two consecutive rounds, and also ended the Serie A unbeaten streak of Juventus and Udinese.It can be called a giant killer.

Udinese, who lost, was overtaken by Juventus in the standings and fell into second place.

………………

Just when the Italian media was reporting and hyping Genoa's two consecutive defeats of the top team, Guidolin had already led the Udinese team to leave Udine and set off for Madrid, the Spanish capital.

This is the fourth round of Group B of the 2014-2015 Champions League group stage.

Since Udinese drew with Real Madrid 3:3 at home in the third round of the group stage, Udinese temporarily beat Real Madrid in the standings with a goal difference advantage, so this game is likely to be the decision Who will be the key battle for first place in Group B?

Because of the rules of the knockout draw, it is very important to win the first place in the group stage. After all, no one wants to encounter a strong opponent in the knockout rounds of the Champions League, which will make the trip to the knockout rounds very difficult.

Just like Arsenal, in the past few seasons, they often failed to win first place due to poor performance in the group stage. As a result, they encountered strong opponents in the first round of the knockout rounds, and then stopped in the top 16.

In the 2010-2011 season, Arsenal unexpectedly ranked second after Shakhtar Donetsk in a group full of fish. As a result, they met Barcelona in the top and were eliminated without any surprise.

In the 2012-2013 season, Arsenal once again performed poorly in the group stage and was squeezed to second place in the group by Schalke 04. Then they met Bayern in full form in the top and stopped in the top again.

Last season, Arsenal once again committed suicide in the last round of the death group. They lost 0:2 to Benitez's Napoli in the away game. While Naples became the first team in history to be eliminated with 12 points, they also themselves Became second in the group, and then was tragically eliminated by Bayern in the round of .

It can be said that Arsenal were eliminated in the first round of the knockout rounds these three times, which was largely the result of their own doing.

After all, under normal circumstances, whether it is Shakhtar Donetsk, Braga and Partizan Belgrade in the 2010-2011 season, or Schalke 2012, Olympiacos and Montpellier in the 2013-04 season, they are all against Arsenal. Nothing threatening.

That is, Dortmund, Naples and Marseille last season, there is some danger to Arsenal.

In fact, even last season, Arsenal took the initiative before the final round. In the final round, they only need to get a draw at the Maradona Stadium to ensure first place in the group.

But they themselves failed to do their best and lost 0:2 in the last round away game, which also led to the embarrassment of being eliminated in the first round of the Champions League knockout rounds for four consecutive years.

With these lessons learned from the past, Real Madrid, which aims to become the first team to defend the Champions League after the 1992 Champions League restructuring, naturally does not want to lose to Udinese at home. After becoming second in the group, they will encounter Strong enemy.

This also makes this duel particularly eye-catching.

………………

There are media in Madrid that are hyping the concept of revenge. Three months ago, Udinese defeated Real Madrid in the European Super Cup, which was also hyped by some media.

Of course, more Madrid media avoid the concept of revenge. In their view, the giant was once stabbed by the dwarf. This never really hurt the giant at all. At most, it was just a slightly embarrassing past. They even said To put it nicely, this is called an anecdote between celebrities and ordinary people.

The attitude of the Madrid media and Real Madrid towards this Champions League group match with Udinese is very straightforward, that is, to kill Udinese and lay the foundation for first place in the group.

If there is a little thought, of course there is. A report in "Asian News" gave an eloquent analysis.

One is: Udinese won the Europa League last season after defeating Sevilla, and then in this season's Champions League play-offs, it eliminated Athletic Bilbao and advanced to the main draw. . Sevilla is considered a member of Barcelona, and Athletic Bilbao once tried to challenge Real Madrid, and their relationship with Real Madrid was not friendly. So Real Madrid wants to teach Udinese a good lesson and kill Udinese in the game. This is of course not to avenge Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao, but to prove that, little Humiliate these two old rivals.

In addition, Udinese has been in the limelight recently and is dancing with joy. This kind of thing will make the super old giants a little unhappy. At this time, give this little guy a slap in the face to make them realize the cruelty of the Champions League. , facing the European war with a more cautious attitude, Real Madrid is willing to do this kind of good thing with a little effort.

Perhaps, the people of Udinese also want to thank us!

This report by "AS" won the favor of some Real Madrid fans. According to statistics from relevant organizations, Real Madrid fans have high attention and expectations for this game. It is conservatively estimated that there will be an influx of people into the Bernabeu Stadium by then. More than 70,000 fans came to watch the game, which is a pretty good attendance rate. Only the El Clasico against Barcelona and the Madrid derby against Atletico Madrid can be more popular than this.
