The grouping of teams in the first bracket doesn't mean much, it's just a program.

According to UEFA's bracket rules, the 32 teams are divided into four pots, each with 8 teams, and one team from each pot is drawn to form a group during the draw, for a total of 8 groups, but teams in the same league cannot be in the same group. At the end of UEFA's bracket, eight teams – Inter Milan, Barcelona, Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern, AC Milan and Lyon – were seeded, with the exception of defending champions Inter Milan being seeded because they were top of the Champions League points.

It can be said that the first team includes almost all the traditional giants in Europe, but only one Real Madrid is missing, Real Madrid is ruthlessly divided into the second pot by UEFA, look at the teams of the same grade as Real Madrid, even including Bremen, Shakhtar Donetsk and other clubs, for the La Liga giants who are calling for wind and rain and scattering countless money in the transfer market, this cannot but be said to be a mockery. However, UEFA also has its own reasons, because the classification is completely based on the results in Europe in recent years, and it is logical that Real Madrid has been kicked out of the first pot (which also happens to be 8 teams) because they have missed the Champions League quarterfinals for six consecutive years. Real Madrid has reason to be depressed, but there are also those seeded teams who are also depressed, if they are unfortunately in the same group as Real Madrid in the draw on the 27th, the difficulty of promotion will also increase invisibly, in addition to Barcelona, because of the same team in La Liga, it will be avoided by Real Madrid, and the other 7 teams in other leagues are not safe.

Of course, it's not enough to just stare at a Real Madrid, those little-known teams can also become torpedoes lurking underwater, Rubin Kazan, who was placed in Pot 4, scared Inter Milan and Barcelona last season, this time Braga from Portugal eliminated La Liga giants Sevilla, and Twente of the Netherlands was the Eredivisie champion last season, although the Champions League is a feast for giants, but any team in the group stage has the possibility of advancing before the game starts.

And what about Manchester City, because they haven't played in the Champions League for 40 years, and the same is true for the Europa League, and they haven't played in the Europa League during the validity period of the European points, so their European points are ...... zero

According to the rules, they will be placed in the fourth pot team.

Therefore, this means that it will not be so easy for Manchester City to qualify from the group, even if it is not the group of death. Because they have to face strong teams in the first and second tiers.

※※※※※※※

Yang Fan sat on the sofa in his home and chatted with his teammates while watching the live TV broadcast of the lottery ceremony.

Tevez and Dzeko and De Jong, plus Yang Fan, all four of them can play a round of mahjong.

The teams in Pot 1 were quickly drawn, followed by teams in Pot 2.

The teams are drawn first, then the group is drawn, and the first to be drawn is Real Madrid.

Then they began to draw the group where Real Madrid was, and everyone on the scene held their breath, expecting and worrying.

Real Madrid is the strongest of the second-tier teams, although they have not broken through the hurdle of sixteen into eight for several years, and are nicknamed "Sixteen Lang", and their Champions League points are too few to be counted as second-tier teams, but in Europe, no team dares to underestimate them.

None of the teams in the first bracket that have been drawn want to be in a group with Real Madrid.

The draw guest obviously also knew that people were interested in which group Real Madrid fell into, so he picked up the draw and smiled.

The presenter took the ball and unscrewed it, took out the folded note from it, opened it, glanced at it, and showed a somewhat strange smile on his face, and then he flipped the note over and showed it to the camera lens and the audience below.

At the same time, he said: "Group G. ”

The scene was in an uproar.

Many people turned their heads to look at the seats of the Real Madrid representatives, while others looked at the AC Milan people.

This is not the first time Real Madrid and AC Milan have met, the two teams were in the same group last season, when they went to Real Madrid because of Kaka's transfer, the collision of the two teams was also a worldwide remark, unexpectedly, after a season, the two teams met again.

This lottery is so interesting.

Although AC Milan is not as strong as before, it is still an old giant, second only to Real Madrid in the number of Champions League trophies. Real Madrid in white and AC Milan in red and black are the two most successful teams in Europe at the moment.

All eyes are on these two teams. The two games where the two teams meet are expected to be the most watchable games in this group, as well as the two games that will determine who will qualify as group winners.

In everyone's opinion, this group, no matter what is signed later, it can be said that there is no suspense about the qualifying places, it must be AC Milan and Real Madrid, and the only suspense is which of the two teams can win the first place in the group......

The other two teams in this group have clearly been overlooked, and in the eyes of all, against Real Madrid and AC Milan, they can only play the role of accompanying the prince to study. This is the fate of the underdogs.

At this point, the camera gave a close-up of the representatives of the third- and fourth-tier teams on the scene, and all of them had solemn expressions - no one wanted to get together with these two giants, they still wanted to take one or a few more steps......

The TV broadcast swept the managers of AC Milan and Real Madrid, Leonardo's face was a little solemn, and Mourinho was expressionless, no one knew what he was thinking.

However, some people think that Mourinho must be secretly happy now, among the eight seeded teams, AC Milan is definitely Real Madrid's favorite opponent, Mourinho's team is not afraid when facing Milan.

※※※※※※※

Yang Fan also smiled, former Inter Milan coach Jose Mourinho led the collision between former AC Milan star Kaka and Milan, which is interesting.

Then, he began to wonder, which team will Manchester City be divided in?!

According to the draw rules for the Champions League group stage, two teams from the same league cannot be placed in the same group, so in the eight groups, Group C has Manchester United, Group F has Chelsea, Group H has Arsenal, Manchester City will definitely not go, only five groups remain.

Manchester City are only likely to fall into one of the other five groups.

The draw ceremony continued.

One team after another was drawn, and the teams in the second tier eventually belonged. With the exception of AC Milan and Real Madrid in Group G, the other seven groups don't really have much to say about the two teams.

Next up are the teams in the third pot.

The first unlucky egg in the group with Real Madrid and AC Milan is out.

Ajax from the Eredivisie.

When Ajax were placed in Group G, the TV broadcast gave a close-up of the Ajax manager and manager, and it was clear from the close-up that both men were frowning and shaking their heads with a wry smile, this is a really bad grouping.

At the same time, there was also an exclamation at the scene, because Ajax is not a weak team, although it cannot be compared with the peak, but it is also a team that has won the Champions League.

Milan and Real Madrid meet again in a narrow way, along with Ajax in the same group. All three teams are former European kings, with Real Madrid (9 times), Milan (7) and Ajax (4 times) having won the Champions League 20 times in their history, and this group is crazy enough from that point of view alone. With such a calculation, this group is really a group of champions and deaths in the true sense.

Ajax was out of luck, and the other teams in the third tier were relieved that at least their own teams would not be placed in this group......

※※※※※※※

The teams in the third tier were all drawn in the end.

Next, the teams in the fourth pot will be drawn.

The first team to be drawn from Pot 4 was Gillina from Slovakia, a team who, like Manchester City, had never played in the Champions League before, so the European points were zero and were counted in Pot 4.

After they were drawn, their groupings began to be drawn.

“f。 ”

With the announcement of the host, Zhilina was divided into Group F with Chelsea, Marseille and Spartak Moscow, this team must be here to play soy sauce, don't think about what group to qualify, don't think about being able to play the Europa League in the third group, Chelsea is definitely the favorite to win the group, and Marseille and Spartak Moscow are not too strong teams, but they are also old fritters in the Champions League, and it is not a big problem to win Zhilina...... Well, in fact, this Slovak team seems to be playing soy sauce in every group.

※※※※※※※

Two more teams were drawn next.

The lottery guests began to draw the fourth team.

After groping in the table tennis ball for a while, he takes out a ball and hands it to the host, who opens it and announces it.

"Manchester City. The host read.

The guests and the fans in front of the TV suddenly came to the spirit, in the fourth grade of Manchester City, it is definitely a giant like a stor, you can not like the attributes of this team, but you have to admit that Manchester City is strong now, as the runner-up of the Premier League last season, Manchester City still has considerable strength.

In particular, Manchester City has Yang Fan, a Chinese star who is undoubtedly one of the few superstars on the planet who can change the game on his own, and I believe that no team is too willing to meet Manchester City with Yang Fan.

If you don't believe it, you can ask Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea in the Premier League to know that the traditional giants of the Premier League have not taken advantage of Manchester City in the past two seasons, but have won less and lost more.

The televised broadcast quickly gave a close-up of Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini and club president Fassim, both of whom were expressionless and unable to see what they were really thinking.

This was followed by a group draw.

After another fumbling session, he took out a ball and handed it to the host.

The host took it apart, opened the paper, and stared at it...... For about two or three seconds, he seemed to be stunned, and then a smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth.

The guests at the scene are anxious, you hurry up and read it out, don't steal the fun alone, what's the happy thing, let's share it together, it's better to be happy alone than to be happy.

The TV camera also kept giving him close-ups, waiting for him to flip the note over and show it to the camera.

The host had a smile on his face, which showed that he was holding back, and it was later recognized that this smile meant schadenfreude.

Group G!
