Chapter 188 Real Madrid fans ecstasy
On March 3, the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the 17-2022 UEFA Champions League was held at UEFA headquarters.
According to UEFA rules, there is no seeding team in the quarter-final draw, and there is no avoidance principle for teams from the same country or the same group.
At the same time, when the quarter-finals are drawn, the semi-finals and the home team of the finals will be determined at the same time.
According to Italian regulations, AC Milan and Inter Milan are not allowed to play home games on the same day, nor can they play home games consecutively within 24 hours.
Former Bayern midfielder Altintop and former Milan striker Kluivert served as guests of the draw.
First draw the quarter-finals, followed by the semi-finals, and finally the final home team.
Altintop first drew Real Madrid, and Kluivert then drew Chelsea.
After that, Inter Milan and Benfica, Manchester City and Bayern, Milan and Naples were drawn together.
In the semi-finals, the winner of Milan-Napoli will face the winner of Inter-Benfica (Group [-]).
The winner of Manchester City-Bayern will play the winner of Real Madrid-Chelsea (Group [-]).
This means that Serie A has almost locked a place in the final, and the winner of the second group of the semi-final will become the home team in the final.
The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will be played on April 4 and 11.
次回合将在4月18日、19日进行,半决赛首回合在5月9日、10日进行,次回合将在16日、17日进行。
The final of the Champions League will be played on June 6.
When the results of the match came out, the result of the draw was quite exciting!
The two favorites to win the championship, Bayern and Manchester City, which have received much attention, met in advance. This is undoubtedly a final-level contest.
Real Madrid faced another Premier League giant, Chelsea. For the third consecutive year, Real Madrid and Chelsea "are not enemies and do not gather together."
It is worth mentioning that when Real Madrid fans learned that their team will face Chelsea, the attitude of Real Madrid fans can only be described in two words: ecstasy!
As for why they are ecstatic, of course it is Chelsea's performance in the Premier League.
In addition to Yuqin's status as the Premier League champion this season, Chelsea can also be regarded as thriving in the ranking of signings.
Chelsea has spent 6.11 million euros on signings this season (summer window + winter window).
Among them, the main signings are: Enzo Fernandez 1.21 million euros, Fofana 8040 million euros;
Mudrik 7000 million euros, Cucurella 6530 million euros, Sterling 5620 million euros, Badiasil 3800 million euros;
Coulibaly 3800 million euros, Madueke 3500 million euros, Gusto 3500 million euros, Chuku Emeka 1800 million euros;
Andre Santos 1250 million euros, David Fofana 1200 million euros, Aubameyang 1200 million euros, Felix 1100 million euros on loan.
However, judging from the current performance of Yuqin Portugal teammate Felix in Chelsea, if the price is reasonable, Chelsea will definitely buy out the Portuguese international.
The law that krypton gold will become stronger seems to be an exception for Chelsea. So far this season, their ranking in the league is 10th.
It is not difficult to understand why Real Madrid fans will be ecstatic when they learn that their opponent in the quarter-finals is Chelsea.
What's more interesting is that the Champions League champions of the past three years have gathered together, and they have been assigned to a half zone.
Gathered in the upper half of the three favorites Real Madrid, Bayern and Manchester City, "death" is full.
Such a lottery result is a double-edged sword for the Premier League. If both teams advance in this round, it means that at least one team can reach the final.
But it also means that the Premier League team may be "destroyed" in the quarter-finals.
Every season, Manchester City is the number one favorite to win the Champions League, but every time the dream fades away.
In the 20-21 season, Manchester City made it to the final as they wished, but was KO by Chelsea, who also came from the Premier League.
This is the closest Guardiola's Manchester City has come to the Big Ears Cup, but it is also the most frustrated.
Because Manchester City was thriving in the Premier League that season, leading the second-placed Manchester United by as many as 2 points to win the Premier League championship ahead of schedule.
Chelsea led the fourth place by as many as 4 points, but the final Champions League final was won by Chelsea, who changed coaches midway through the season.
In the 1/8 finals of this season, Manchester City played a triumphant song and eliminated the Bundesliga powerhouse RB Leipzig with a big score of 8-1 in two rounds.
But after the end of this round of draws, they encountered the absolute boss of the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich.
If Real Madrid coach Ancelotti, the team he does not want to meet AC Milan, then the team Guardiola does not want to meet is Bayern.
The reason is much worse than that of Ancelotti. Three years at Bayern is not a good memory for Guardiola.
Bayern, who was sincerely seeking talents at the beginning, from "inviting God" to "sending God", is like a person who knows the temperature of drinking water.
This is Guardiola's first encounter with his old club in an official game after he took over Manchester City.
At the same time, Bayern is also the strongest opponent Manchester City can encounter at the Champions League level this season.
And the old team that Gua Shuai carried and introduced back then is also withering day by day. When he meets Guardiola again, the antagonism obviously outweighs the nostalgia.
It's no wonder that as soon as the draw was announced, Gua Shuai's former general Muller sent a short video, with a smirk on his face, he was "very looking forward" to the arrival of his opponent.
After all, Bayern, who had just eliminated another old friend Lewandowski in the group stage, never showed mercy against the old man.
Guardiola's emotion towards the old master may greatly depend on whether he is on the spot.
But as the top card in Manchester City, Harland is destined to have a strong desire to perform when facing Bayern.
After all, when playing for Dortmund, the "Bumblebee", who was significantly weaker, has been suppressed by Bayern.
This time, he joined his new club and is currently leading the "Magic Man" in the UEFA Champions League scorer list. Obviously, there will be no shortage of ideas.
As for Bayern, which has suffered consecutive strong opponents since the group stage this season, it is certainly a draw to Manchester City, but it is by no means a draw.
After all, the most troublesome opponent of the Bundesliga giants is always Real Madrid. Even if the two teams are destined to encounter, it will be at least the next round.
Although Bayern's advantage in the Bundesliga is not obvious, it is only 2 points ahead of the second place.
But at the Champions League level, Bayern is another level of existence.
In the group stage, Bayern won all 6 games, double-killing La Liga leader Barcelona and the Champions League top 8 team Inter Milan.
In the 1/8 finals, Paris, the leader of Ligue [-], had zero seals in two rounds. Bayern has been extremely arrogant in the Champions League this season.
This round of matchup is a huge challenge for Manchester City.
But even if they are lucky enough to pass this round of knockout rounds, there is a high probability that Manchester City will encounter Real Madrid in the next round.
Because today's Chelsea is unspeakably stable. In the Champions League, Porter is an absolute rookie for the battle-tested Ancelotti.
Playing Chelsea in a serious way may not be able to beat Real Madrid, not to mention that Real Madrid also has a bug bonus for reversal. This group of duels "King of the Champions League" Real Madrid is expected to successfully advance to the top 4.
