The 2012-2013 Champions League group draw and UEFA awards ceremony began as in the past, starting with the host Gianni Infantino briefing the audience on the draw ceremony and the process of awarding the best European players. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Immediately afterwards, the big screen reviewed the highlights of the 2011-2012 Champions League season, from the group stage to the knockout round, and then to the glorious moment when Chelsea defeated Bayern Munich for the first time in the final.

Before the draw for the new season's group, UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino also introduced the relevant principles of this draw.

The process went fast, with former Manchester United superstar Dennis Law tasked with drawing the eight teams in Pot 1 to be placed in their respective groups.

Group A Porto, Group B Arsenal, Group C AC Milan, Group D Real Madrid, Group E Chelsea, Group F Bayern Munich, Group G Barcelona, Group H Manchester United.

Once Denis Law's task was completed, it was the turn of 1995 European Footballer of the Year George Weah to draw from Pot 2, with the first team to be drawn was Shakhtar Donetsk, who were drawn from Chelsea's Group E.

Immediately, the 2011-2012 Premier League champions Manchester City were drawn to Group D where Real Madrid is located, and the atmosphere became visibly tense.

This season's Champions League has three strong third-tier teams – Borussia Dortmund, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain.

If one of their teams is drawn to Group D, the absolute Group of Death!

Valencia, who almost became a first-tier team, also have the possibility of becoming the group of death because they were drawn to Group F where Bayern Munich is located.

Soon, the grouping of the sixteen teams was determined, and the live broadcast camera was given to Klopp, Carlo Ancelotti and Conte.

Due to the same FA avoidance rules, Dortmund is unlikely to draw Group B and Group F, which means that they could draw Group D with Real Madrid and Manchester City.

According to UEFA's past draws, it is also very likely that Barcelona and Benfica will be drawn in Group G.

Of course, if given a choice, Klopp would definitely not choose either group.

If he had to choose one of the two groups, he would rather go to Group G.

The group draw continued, and the tension became more and more apparent.

The first team to be drawn in Pot 3 was Galatasaray, who were drawn in Group H, and then the Pot 3 team drawn by Ruudt Gullit was Lille, Olympiacos, Anderlecht.

The four relatively weak third-tier teams were drawn, and the atmosphere was more tense than before......

The group draw has been conducted so far, and the three teams drawn are Group B, Group C, Group F and Group H.

The remaining four teams in the third tier are Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain and Spartak Moscow.

In addition to Sparta Moscow's limited strength is negligible, the other three teams are not to be underestimated, especially Borussia Dortmund and Paris Saint-Germain.

Borussia Dortmund beat AC Milan in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League last season, and almost eliminated Barcelona in the 1/4 finals.

Paris Saint-Germain in the new season is ambitious, buying powerful stars Ibrahimovic, Thiago Silva, Ravic and Lucas Jr., the strength is terrifying.

Juventus also won last season's Serie A title and are strong.

The managers of Groups A, D, E and G, who did not draw out the third tier of the group, were a little uneasy.

The best way to qualify from the group is to avoid the strong teams, so they all want to draw Spartak Moscow, the weakest team in the remaining third bracket.

Gullit took out one of the remaining four balls at random, unscrewed it, the corners of his mouth curled, and said with a smile: "Paris Saint-Germain!"

Immediately, the on-site director switched the camera and gave Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho and Manchester City coach Mancini a close-up shot pushed to the face.

If PSG draw Group D, the absolute group of death!

However, there was a false alarm, and Paris Saint-Germain drew Porto and Dynamo Kyiv in Group A.

Meanwhile, Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti breathed a sigh of relief.

However, Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho and Manchester City manager Manic had wide eyes and a very unpleasant look on their faces, because the team that Gullit drew next was Dortmund, the strongest team in the third tier.

In terms of strength, Dortmund is stronger than the second-tier teams, and can even defeat some first-tier teams.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp, players Tang Zheng, Hummels and Andrea Pirlo all looked gloomy and worried about being drawn to Group D.

Yang 5 commentator He Wei said: "There are still three groups left to draw the third team, which are Group D, Group E and Group G, and Dortmund's best result is undoubtedly to draw Chelsea and Shakhtar Donets in Group E......

However, before the words fell, the guest Gullit had already unscrewed the group's numbered balls.

Everyone's focus was on Gurlit's hands, lest they miss a moment.

Dortmund fans, Real Madrid fans and Manchester City fans sitting in front of the TV all held their breath for fear of getting together.

German Sky commentator Marcel Leif jokingly said: "Dortmund advocate attack, should not draw ......"

Halfway through this, his face froze and his eyes widened.

I saw Gurlitt in the broadcast camera reversing the group number note in his hand, and at the same time said solemnly: "D!"

"Wow-"

Suddenly, the Grimaldi Convention and Cultural Center was in an uproar, and they all looked at Mourinho, Mancini and Klopp.

"Incredible!" Yang 5 commentator He Wei said in a very exaggerated tone: "Dortmund has actually been drawn in Group D, and they will be in a group with Real Madrid and Manchester City boys!

"I thought Dortmund would draw Barcelona and Benfica in Group G, but the result was unexpected, Dortmund are in Group D!" German Sky commentator Marcel Leif seemed to comfort himself: "Don't worry about Dortmund fans in front of the TV, Dortmund drew with Arsenal at home and away last season, and almost eliminated Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, it may not be without the strength ......to fight"

The La Liga, Premier League and Bundesliga winners were drawn in the same group, reminiscent of the 1998-1999 Champions League group draw, when Barcelona, Manchester United and Bayern Munich were drawn in the same group.

In the middle of the words, Spartak Moscow was drawn to Group G, and the last remaining Juventus naturally fell into the arms of Group E.

※※※

Although a total of 24 teams in all three brackets were drawn, the last eight teams in Bracket 4 were also in the spotlight, after all, Bracket 4 still hides the 2011-2012 Eredivisie champions Ajax.

If Ajax were drawn into a relatively balanced group, a new group of death could also be formed.

If Ajax were drawn to Group D, it would be fun, four league titles, unprecedented excitement.

British Sky commentator Andy Gray took advantage of legendary Italian centre-back Cannavaro walking to the podium, and he turned to his partner Martin Taylor and said: "Which group do you think the rest of Ajax will draw?"

"To be honest, at this time, I would prefer Ajax to draw in Group D. Martin Taylor said.

"Why?" Andy Gray was puzzled: "Aren't you already a Dortmund fan?

"It's not about adding to the mess, it's about making the game look better!"

Two minutes later, Andy Gray gave Martin Taylor a meaningful look: "Your suggestion is God's permission!"

At the Grimaldi Conference and Cultural Center, Mourinho, Mancini and Klopp are already powerless to complain, even if they draw each other together, you still have a Eredivisie champion Ajax.

Is it fun?

The four teams drawn in Group D may be unhappy, but the media reporters are very excited because they have enough news to write about next.

In last season's Champions League group draw, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund were both drawn in the Group of Death, and only Dortmund emerged from the group.

This season's Champions League group draw draws four league winners into one group, which is exciting enough to think about.

The Santiago Bernabeu, Westfalun, Etihad and Amsterdam are all home stadiums of the devils in Europe, and now this season's Group D games will be on play, so why not be excited?

Pirlo and Hummels' expressions were similar to Klopp's, and they were relatively low.

However, Tang Zheng's eyes had two more emotions - excitement and expectation.

With the draw for the 2012-2013 Champions League group all over, many people are still reminiscing about the Super Death group, and host Gianni Infantino has introduced the process into the announcement of Europe's best players.

After the first round of voting by journalists from 53 European countries, Andres Iniesta, Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo finished in the top three.

Tang Zheng, who helped Borussia Dortmund win two consecutive league titles, is behind Cristiano Ronaldo by three points.

Tang Zheng did not finish in the final top three, which was somewhat regrettable for the Chinese media, but 2012 was a tournament year, and Andres Iniesta's excellent performance helped Spain win the European Championship.

Barcelona only won the Copa del Rey last season, but Messi scored 14 goals in the Champions League last season, equalling AC Milan legend Altafini's single-season Champions League goal record.

Cristiano Ronaldo helped Real Madrid snatch the league title from Barcelona and reached the last four of the Champions League, and he also performed well in the European Championship, so there is no dispute about finishing in the top three.

So it is not controversial that Andres Iniesta, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are in the top three of the European Player of the Year competition, only the Chinese media, fans and Dortmund fans are sorry.

Finally, UEFA President Michel Platini and European Sports Magazine Federation President Hotsch were invited to the stage, with Platini announcing that Iniesta had been named the European Player of the Year 2012 award, and that the European Sports Magazine Federation President Holtzsch was in charge of presenting the award.

The 2012-2013 Champions League group draw and the UEFA awards ceremony have come to an end......
