Last season, Wolfsburg finished second in the Bundesliga, and the team had a very good result.

The obvious drop in their results this season has a lot to do with last summer's transfers.

In the last summer transfer window, Wolfsburg sold Kevin De Bruyne and Perisic. Among them, De Bruyne moved to Manchester City in the English Premier League with a record transfer of nearly 70 million euros for players in the Bundesliga, while Perisic transferred to Inter Milan for 17 million euros.

Although they also spent close to 40 million euros to buy the promising Draxler from Schalke 04, the move did not significantly improve Wolfsburg's strength.

Draxler is a very good young man, but he is only twenty-one years old and has just joined a new team. Wanting to use him to replace the departing De Bruyne is undoubtedly a bit of a strong man.

The departure of the main core and the inability of newcomers to support the main pillars, and the decline in Wolfsburg's performance in the league is naturally a matter of course.

However, they have done very well in the Champions League this season.

In the group stage, Wolfsburg were drawn in Group B with PSV Eindhoven, Manchester United and CSKA Moscow.

It should be said that the average strength of this group is still very strong, and the most favored team is undoubtedly the Red Devils Manchester United in the Premier League.

As a result, Wolfsburg surprisingly topped the group, joining Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, while Manchester United finished third and were eliminated in the group stage. Subsequently, Wolfsburg eliminated Belgium's Gent and advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Many believe that meeting Real Madrid in the quarter-finals would mean the end of Wolfsburg's Champions League this season.

But when Schalke 04 met Inter Milan, who eliminated Bayern, people thought the same way.

Everyone knows that Bayern Munich is a strong team in the Champions League, the top team in the Champions League, but the other Bundesliga teams are sometimes really not so easy to deal with.

……

After the Champions League group draw ended, the media and fans once again talked about it.

Of the four matches, the most striking are undoubtedly those between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, as well as those between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City are both European upstarts who have risen in recent years, and the "gold owners" behind these two teams are both menswear bigwigs from the Middle East.

Behind Paris Saint-Germain is Qatar's sovereign wealth fund (Qatar Investment Authority), whose owner Tamim Alsani is not only the crown prince of Qatar, but also the president of the Qatar National Olympic Committee, a member of the International Olympic Committee, and the number one man in Qatar's sports scene.

Tamim Alsani's Qatar Sports Investment Fund is a sovereign investment fund owned by Qatar's state, with assets conservatively estimated at more than $60 billion.

Behind Manchester City is the Arab investment company Abu Dhabi Group. In the background is Prince Mansour of the United Arab Emirates, the son of the country's founding chief. And his family's assets are as high as 1 trillion US dollars, equivalent to 555 billion pounds.

The collision of these two teams can be described as the battle for the strongest upstarts under global capital.

Needless to say, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, once known as the "Cosmos", are a top team at the top of the Europa football chain.

Atletico Madrid had just reached a Champions League final two years ago, whether it was a Champions League final or a Europa League final, and it was familiar to the team nicknamed "The Sheets Army", and this team is full of talent.

The two Spanish powerhouses met in the quarter-finals ahead of schedule, and the "Spanish derby" (pseudo) between them was naturally quite eye-catching.

Compared with these two strong dialogues, Real Madrid vs. Wolfsburg, and Bayern Munich vs. Benfica, both have some strong and weak flavors.

Whether it is fame or team strength, the first two teams are above the next two teams.

Therefore, many media and fans believe that Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have been drawn to the "upper sign". Even many people describe Wolfsburg and Benfica as the two Champions League gift packages for the emperor and benevolence, and the gift package for ensuring that the two teams enter the Champions League semi-finals.

However, if these two "gift packs" suddenly explode and become two explosive packs, it will be a lot of fun......

……

The Champions League is naturally a hot topic, with draws drawn in groups and many people discussing the upcoming Champions League quarter-finals, analysing the situation and predicting the top four teams in the Champions League.

And while everyone is talking about the Champions League, the league date is also quietly approaching.

On March 20, the last four matches of the thirtieth round of La Liga began one after another.

The Barcelona game was four and a half hours ahead of Real Madrid's.

The match was played at Villarreal's home stadium, the Stadio de la Love Song. The Love Song Stadium is small and can only accommodate less than 25,000 fans, and this game, the stadium is full of seats.

Barcelona is at the top of the table, Villarreal is fourth in the league, and this kind of strong dialogue has attracted the attention of many fans.

Due to Andres Iniesta's injury, the midfield combination that Barcelona started in this game was Turan Rakitic Busquez.

In the first half, Rakitic and Neymar scored in quick succession to give Barcelona a two-goal lead on the road.

They have a big advantage, and they go up.

They almost hit the GG......

In the second half, Bakambu and Mathieu scored one after another, of which Mathieu scored an own goal, and Villarreal was stunned to tie the score.

In this game, Villarreal's Bakambu and Denis Suarez left the field injured in just three minutes. In order to tie the score, they paid a total of eight yellow cards, which can be described as a bloody battle to the end, and they did their best.

They are here to secure their team's qualification for next season's Champions League.

After being held to a draw by Villarreal, Barcelona finally stopped their winning streak.

They have endured their longest winning streak since the start of the season.

The Villarreal Love Song Stadium has brought their winning streak this season to eleven games.

Four and a half hours later.

Santiago Bernabéu.

With 70,000 fans in attendance, Real Madrid hosted fifth-placed Sevilla.

In this game, Benzema returned from injury, while Pepe and Ramos were suspended.

Up front, the CCB combination of Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema and Chu Ge made their debut.
