Bosque did not want to be a "saint" general, but rather than making a big fuss with Robinho, it was better to turn a blind eye.
Anyway, the season was about to end. Robinho was under huge pressure from the media and public opinion. He would not take the initiative to cause trouble even if he was in the wrong.
In the 32nd round of the La Liga, Real Madrid faced Murcia at home.
Bosque sent an all-substitute lineup to play. With the advantage of home ground, Real Madrid defeated Murcia, who was second to last in the league, 1: 0 in the dull 90 minutes with Higuaín's flash. Not only did they win the game, but they also completed the successful defense of the league title six rounds in advance!
They became the first team to announce that they had won the league title in the five major European leagues!
When the moment came for the end of the game, Bosque stood up from the technical area and muttered to himself, "The first title is in our hands!"
The main players of Real Madrid who got up from the bench high-fived and hugged each other to celebrate the league title.
Even if they did not play for a minute, the main players such as Qin Xiong and Raúl still received the media's attention.
Now, no matter what game, Real Madrid received more attention than ever!
Just like Marca reported after the game: Real Madrid was setting a new record in every game!
Real Madrid had completed all the competitions this season: undefeated in 32 rounds of La Liga, undefeated in 8 games of the Copa del Rey, undefeated in 10 games of the Champions League, and undefeated in 2 games of the Supercopa de España.
Total: 52 games undefeated!
Including Capello's dismissal after Real Madrid's defeat at the Nou Camp last season, and Del Bosque's undefeated streak in 12 league games after his appointment, Real Madrid had completed a 44-game unbeaten streak in the league!
This record had already broken the undefeated record in La Liga!
If the two Copa del Rey games at the end of last season were included.
Real Madrid achieved 66 games undefeated in official games after Bosque took over!
Such a great record made Real Madrid a first-rate team in the modern era!
A terrifying invincible battleship!
After winning the La Liga title, Real Madrid went to the Calderón Stadium in the same city, the home of Atlético Madrid, to welcome this season's Copa del Rey final. Their opponent was Valencia.
On the night of April 16th, Real Madrid and Valencia met at the Calderón Stadium.
When the Real Madrid players walked into the Vicente Calderón stadium, they were greeted with cheers from all the Real Madrid fans in the stadium.
It was a tribute to Real Madrid's extraordinary performance this season!
To be crowned champions of the league in the middle of April was definitely an amazing achievement.
Valencia, led by Comain, sacrificed a home match in the league to prepare for the Copa del Rey final.
"Welcome to the Calderón Stadium, where this season's Copa del Rey finals will be held!
Real Madrid, who had just successfully defended their league title for six rounds in advance, entered the Copa del Rey final for the second year in a row as the defending champions of the Copa del Rey.
Their opponent was Valencia, the Bat squad. Valencia had experienced management turmoil this season. Manager Comain, who took over midway to put out the fire, was not able to lead Valencia out of the predicament. Now Valencia was only ranked in the middle of the La Liga and was certain not to be able to compete in Europe next season unless they won the Copa del Rey. This was also an important reason why Valencia had frozen most of their main players at home in the last round of the league, which eventually led to their defeat at home.
Although the chances of winning the title from the imposing Real Madrid were slim, Valencia would definitely do their best to create a miracle.
Let's wait and see.
Real Madrid's starting lineup for this game was 442.
Goalkeeper: Casillas.
Defenders: Ramos, Metzelder, Pepe, Heinze.
Midfielders: Robben, Diarra, Guti, Snede.
Forwards: Qin Xiong, Raúl.
The core of the defense, Cannavaro, was not able to participate in the game due to a minor injury. Metzelder, who had not played for a long time, replaced him on the field.
Valencia's starting lineup for 442.
Goalkeeper: Hildebrand.
Defenders: Miguel, Canela, Alexis, Marchena.
Midfielders: Joaquin, Baraja, Albiol, Silva.
Forwards: Villa, Morientes.
The kick-off ceremony before the final is over. The game is about to begin and Real Madrid will kick off first. "
Under the huge noise of the Calderón Stadium, the 2007-2008 Copa del Rey season's final officially kicked off.
As soon as the game started, Real Madrid immediately urged their offense.
Raúl and Qin Xiong were side by side as they pushed forward to attack.
After breaking through Villa and Morientes with a combination of hitting the wall, Qin Xiong surprised Valencia by directly dribbling the ball and breaking through Baraja's defense. At this time, Valencia simply did not defend on the side.
Joaquin and Silva flew to the front of the penalty area to assist in the defense.
Albiol blocked in front of Qin Xiong. Behind him, Joaquin and Silva joined him to form a fan-shaped defense.
Raúl cut in front of the penalty area from the front and also let Alexis and the other defenders immediately surround the middle.
At this time, Qin Xiong did not choose to use force. He stopped in his tracks and controlled the ball in place. Then, he kicked the ball diagonally over the top and directly stuffed it out!
In the process of the defensive line tightening to the middle, Valencia's side defense exposed a clear gap at a glance!
After the football flew over the heads of the defensive line, the Valencia defensive line was stunned to see the Dutch Peter Pan, Robben, rush into the penalty area at an explosive speed without any obstacles!
Robben used his chest to offload the falling football, and then grabbed the opportunity to shoot with his left foot before Marchena could seal it off!
The goalkeeper, Hildebrand, expanded the defensive area and decisively abandoned the goal. Fortunately, he did so. Otherwise, he was likely to not be able to touch the football!
Hildebrand's raised arm collided with the football, causing the football to refract and eventually bounce out of the end line.
The Valencia players were still in shock. At the start of the game, Real Madrid took out the momentum to eat them up in one breath!
The expressions and temperament of the Real Madrid players were actually very calm and natural.
It was as if they did not really exert their strength.
Of course, the mentality and temperament that Real Madrid honed this season was not the strength that was stimulated by courage and hot-bloodedness, but the real strength that combined reason and calmness!
"Wow, Real Madrid tested Valencia's defense at the start of the game. After Qin Xiong and Raúl dribbled to advance the offense, Qin Xiong broke through Baraja in the midfield, and then sent a diagonal pass over the top in the front field.
Valencia's defense showed obvious signs of panic. They swarmed to block Qin Xiong, and then swarmed to mark Raúl. As a result, they ignored Robben, who rushed up as fast as lightning.
Robben seemed to play the ball a little too hastily. Maybe he wanted the technical movements to be more perfect.
If he stopped the ball and adjusted it, he might be able to send the ball into Valencia's goal.
In any case, Real Madrid has shown the momentum of a defending champion! "
