While Atletico Madrid beat Bayern Munich 2-1 at home, AC Milan surprised everyone with a 2-1 away defeat to Ligue 1 side Lens. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The Rossoneri continued to play the main game in order to compete with Atletico Madrid for the top spot in the group, but the Lens team firmly choked Pirlo to play, and after Shevchenko's return, Ancelotti returned to playing with two strikers.

As a result, Inzaghi was in a slump and AC Milan lost France.

As a result, the situation of the entire group is basically clear.

Atletico Madrid will top the group, AC Milan will be second in the group, and Lens can basically retain the third place in the group as long as they do not lose to Bayern Munich in the sixth round, and Bayern Munich is temporarily relegated to fourth.

Such an outcome is puzzling to the whole world.

Why is Bayern Munich, so strong and invincible in the Bundesliga, reduced to a winless group stage?

Even if there is a curse of so-called great heat and death, it hasn't reached this level, has it?

Accusations and criticisms of Heathfield, including the German media, began, but due to the team's excellent performance in the Bundesliga and the fact that Heathfield was the team's merit, the Bayern Munich management triumvirate came out to support the manager.

But this season's Champions League journey for Bayern Munich is over!

Here, Atletico Madrid had just beaten off Bayern Munich and soon welcomed Rayo Vallecano at the Calderón Stadium.

The Sheets, who had just finished top of the Champions League group, were in a strong position, and Gao Han was very familiar with the same Madrid team, so Atletico Madrid opened the scoring in just five minutes.

Rayo Vallecano then stubbornly defended, but in the 34th minute, the main central defender was shown a red card for a malicious foul in defense and was ejected from the game, and from then on, the game went into garbage time.

Atletico Madrid scored again in the 44th minute, and after the second half changed sides, the Sheets scored in the 52nd, 63rd, 78th and 86th minutes, and the momentum was out of control.

In the end, the Sheets defeated Rayo Vallecano 6-0 at home and won a hearty victory.

It also shocked the whole of Spain.

In the last round, that is, in the seventh round of the league, Valencia beat Athletic Bilbao 5-1 at home with Aimar's hat-trick, and Barcelona beat Alaves 6-1 at home with Kluivert's hat-trick.

Atletico Madrid suppressed Rayo Vallecano in the half throughout the game, with a whopping 69 per cent possession, making it almost impossible for Rayo Vallecano to play a decent attack throughout the game.

This was achieved when the Sheets Corps did not have the main force to do so.

If Atletico Madrid was distracted by multi-front battles before, then now, after withdrawing from European competition, they immediately declared their domination of La Liga with a bloody 6-0.

Including Valencia, Real Madrid and Barcelona, the gap between many strong teams and middle and lower teams is gradually widening, which makes many media reporters feel uneasy.

After playing in the league, Atletico Madrid ushered in the second round of the Copa del Rey against a lower league team, Leonessa.

Gao Han played with an all-substitute line-up, and even a number of youngsters, including Puerta, Gabi and Cristiano Ronaldo, qualified to start, and the team easily came home from a 2-0 away game.

Three days later, at the Calderón Stadium, Atletico Madrid cleanly knocked out Heynckes' Athletic Bilbao 3-1, leaving the German coach shouting after the game.

After playing Athletic Bilbao, the Sheets were a guest at the San Siro Stadium.

With the game completely meaningless, the two teams also did not line up their main lineups, and in the end, it was Atletico Madrid who beat AC Milan 1-0 thanks to Baptista's goal.

So far, all six rounds of the first group stage of the Champions League have ended.

But the second stage of the group stage quietly kicked off.

…………

…………

They say it's the most competitive second group stage in the Champions League's history. ”

In the coach's office at Mahada Enda Sports City, Gao Han and others were waiting for the results of the UEFA draw, and Sergio Garcia spoke about the situation in this season's Champions League.

"Of the 16 teams that have reached the second stage, 13 are from the four major leagues, with the remaining three being Lokomotiv Moscow, Basel and Ajax in the Netherlands. ”

Gao Han nodded slightly.

Of the three teams, he got to know Ajax specifically, which is quite a good team.

Van der Vaart, Van der Meyde, Ibrahimovic, Sneijder, Heitinga, Zivo and other players are quite good, and manager Ronald Koeman is not a simple figure.

Although this Young Guard has not been able to reproduce the peak of the Van Gaal era, it has at least played the style of Ajax, which is still quite commendable.

"According to UEFA rules, the sixteen teams that qualified from the first group were divided into four brackets, with the top team in the group automatically seeded and divided into Pot 1 and Pot 2 according to the European points ranking, and the eight teams that qualified for the second place in the group were divided into Pot 3 and Pot 4. ”

Sergio Garcia smiled wryly, "We almost knocked Valencia off the horse, they have a little more points than us. ”

Everyone burst out laughing.

However, according to the classification, among the four teams in the first bracket, La Liga occupies three teams, and the name of the world's first league is solid.

These four teams are Real Madrid with the highest points, followed by Manchester United, Deportivo La Coruna and Valencia.

"According to UEFA rules, when the draw for the second group stage is drawn, the same national team will be avoided, and the first group stage will be avoided by the same team, which means that we will not have a choice, and we will definitely meet Manchester United. ”

When everyone heard this, they did not regret it.

Entering the second stage of the group stage, each team is a well-known strong team in Europe, and there is no way to avoid strong teams.

This has been one of the big criticisms of the Champions League format over the past few years.

First, there is a two-stage group stage, with too many competitions, and there is a lot of pressure on the participating teams.

The second is that the two-stage group stage is a greater test of the overall strength of the team, and it is difficult to be upset.

Of course, from another point of view, the champions selected by such a system have a higher gold content.

However, UEFA has basically agreed to cancel the second phase of the group stage from the 03-04 season and replace it with the knockout round of 16.

This allows the participating teams to play four fewer games and the pressure is much less.

But the luck brought by the draw can also easily create an upset.

Gao Han is not very resistant to touching Manchester United, because the passing and possession style of La Liga teams has always had a certain advantage against Premier League teams.

"In the third pot, we avoided AC Milan, Bayer Leverkusen, Roma and Borussia Dortmund. ”

When everyone heard this, they all looked at Gao Han.

"What for?" Gao Han snorted and laughed, "If I had to choose, I would definitely not want to touch Capello, you know, I've never been interested in Serie A teams." ”

La Liga has been beaten by the Premier League, but in turn has been beaten by Serie A, which has been the dominant trend in the Champions League in recent years.

This is mainly because Serie A wants to put a lot of emphasis on defense.

All four Serie A teams have reached the round of 16 this season, with Lippi's Juventus, Cooper's Inter Milan, Carlo Ancelotti's AC Milan, and Fabio Capello's Roma, all four of which are known for their unbreakable defence.

Strictly speaking, Atletico Madrid did not draw a winner from AC Milan in the group stage, because in the final round, the Rossoneri basically gave up on their home stadium and concentrated on preparing for the league.

But even so, Atletico Madrid only won by one goal.

This year, who plays the Serie A team who knows!

"If it was Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Dortmund, I would be more sure. Gao Han smiled.

Both teams have not performed well this season, although they both qualified from the group, but they are only second, the problems and weaknesses are obvious, and Gao Han will be more sure to deal with it.

As for the four teams in Pot 4, Newcastle are the most difficult to play, but with Manchester United in place, they must have avoided it.

The remaining three teams, Lokomotiv Moscow, Ajax and Basel, don't matter.

"As you wish, my Mr. Kohan!"

Sergio García said with a smile imitating the magician's tone.

And all the people were amused by him.

But when the results of the draw came out, their mood was not so ideal.

Gao Han's wish was only half fulfilled, maybe even a third.

It is already a sure fact that the first team of Atletico Madrid is indeed Manchester United, but the team in the third pot did not draw Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, but Roma, whom Gao Han is most reluctant to meet.

Pot 4 did not meet the stronger Ajax, but Basel of Switzerland.

Serie A, touch Serie A again!

Why am I so close to Serie A?

Gao Han smiled bitterly when he saw the results of the draw.

Of course, the other groups weren't much better.

Real Madrid drew Juventus, Borussia Dortmund and Lokomotiv Moscow.

Valencia drew Arsenal, AC Milan and Ajax.

Deportivo La Coruna drew Inter Milan, Bayer Leverkusen and Newcastle.

It should be said that Deportivo La Coruna was the saddest and was drawn into the group of death in the second group stage.

"Iruetta is probably going to cry!" Gao Han expressed deep sympathy for him.

Super Laco's form this season has not been ideal, playing on multiple fronts, and although the team's bench thickness is good, Belleron's injury has caused Irueta a lot of headaches, and the league performance has not been satisfactory.

If it weren't for the first group stage, where they were drawn into the weakest group, Deportivo La Coruna might not have been able to qualify.

Not to mention, they, like Atletico Madrid, are the top of the group with six wins in six games.

Now, entering the second stage, finally feng shui takes turns, and it is the turn of Deportivo to encounter the group of death.

"You say, should I make a phone call to comfort Iruetta?" asked Gao Han with a smile.

Everyone was also amused.

Gao Han probably held back long enough, and it was finally his turn to gloat. (To be continued.) )
