The weather in Barcelona in late March is still a bit cold, with an average temperature of 7-16 degrees. When the Spaniards returned to Barcelona, they were greeted by the fans, and Wu Sanshi was treated like a hero.

Next door reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and Espanyol also reached the quarter-finals of the UEFA Cup, and the fans on both sides were satisfied. Especially since Barcelona plays the Champions League all year round, and the Spaniards can only go to the League Cup once in a while, the fans have more reason to celebrate.

However, most Barcelona fans still look at Espanyol's results with a mocking attitude, and when they see a large number of Espanyol fans on the streets drinking and celebrating, some Barcelona fans mock.

"The quarterfinals of the League Cup? God, it's tempting, how many years have we not been? ”

"Well, we only won the Champions League in '06, so if we have a chance we will play in the League Cup and win the League Cup."

"However, we are not qualified, we can only stay in the Champions League, we can only play in the Champions League, alas, there is no such opportunity......"

After hearing these mocking words, the Espanyol fans were naturally upset, but they also had good reasons to fight back.

"What's the beep with a face? 4:3, 4:3, we won you in the league, ahahaha. ”

"You have the ability to win us in the league."

Barcelona fans want to use the Champions League to suppress Espanyol fans, but the killer feature of Espanyol fans is the league victory against Barcelona!

It really can't be helped, Barcelona fans lost their temper in an instant.

At this time, today is destined to meet these fans often, because it is the day of the draw for the European competition, whether it is the Champions League or the League Cup, it is drawn on the same day, and the fans of both teams are sitting in the bar waiting for the results of the draw.

The first draw is definitely the UEFA Cup, and the most exciting Champions League is definitely left last.

"It's not the same what you smoke, you won't be champions anyway."

Seeing that the draw was about to take place, Barcelona fans couldn't help but be sarcastic.

"The winner is AC Milan."

"You're not the same Barcelona!"

Espanyol fans don't believe that Barcelona will win the championship, and this season's Champions League is also strong, with Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Bayern, Villarreal, Porto, etc. also entering the Champions League quarterfinals.

……

Reaching the quarter-finals of the Franchise Cup are Espanyol, Zenit, AC Milan, Dynamo Kyiv, Shakhtar Donetsk, Manchester City, CSKA Moscow, Galatasaray and Aston Villa.

The UEFA Secretary General presided over the draw ceremony. According to the new draw rules, after reaching the quarterfinals, they will be divided into upper and lower halves, and teams that are not in one half will not meet before the final.

Dutch celebrity Mackay appeared on the rostrum as a guest of the draw.

Mackay is also a Dutch legend, having played at the level of Deportivo La Coruna and Bayern.

Mackay was the first to draw four teams from the top half of the table, namely CSKA, Espanyol, Galatasaray and Aston Villa.

The bar burst into cheers.

"Hah, avoid AC Milan!"

AC Milan is recognized as the strongest team, and it is naturally a good thing to be able to avoid them, and I guess the other two opponents think the same way!

The four teams in the bottom half of the table are AC Milan, Zenit, Shakhtar Donznek and Manchester City.

Wu Sanshi was also paying attention to the draw, and he keenly discovered a problem.

That's AC Milan, this team actually didn't make it to the quarterfinals in the League Cup that year, and now it's actually in.

History is changing.

You won't make it to the finals, will you? He had a hunch.

Now, Mackay is starting to draw specific matchups.

The first to draw were CSKA and Galatasaray, and naturally the Spaniard went against Aston Villa in the Premier League.

'Aston Villa, a good opponent.' Wu Sanshi is very satisfied with such an opponent, and he is expected to advance to the semifinals.

In the bottom half, AC Milan drew Shakhtar Donznek, while Zenit went toiled with Manchester City.

Espanyol fans were happy with the result of the draw and they celebrated the grouping with beer.

"Aston Villa's strength is not as good as Manchester City, we are not afraid of Manchester City in the group stage, let alone Aston Villa, the semi-finals are stable!"

"In the semi-finals, I feel like I'm going to play the Army, who are tougher than Galatasaray, and both teams are terrible at home."

"What are you afraid of, just do it!"

……

Then came the main event, the Champions League draw began.

The guest of honour was England legend Gascoigne. Gascoigne didn't seem to wake up from a hangover, and he staggered onto the stage with a big belly, which may also be due to physical reasons.

According to the new rules of last season's Champions League quarter-finals, the quarter-finals will not be randomly drawn as in the past, but according to the total results of the teams that entered the top 8 in 6 games in the group stage and 2 games in the 1/8 knockout stage, the four seeded teams will be determined and the other four unseeded teams will play directly against the other 4 unseeded teams, instead of determining the matchup by random draw.

The results in the top half are Liverpool, Bayern, Barcelona, Chelsea......

In the bottom half are Manchester United, Arsenal, Porto, Villarreal.

"Aha, this partition is good! It's so well shared! ”

The moment the division came out, the Espanyol fans laughed.

Liverpool, Chelsea and Bayern still can't kill you Barcelona?

Of course, they have to gloat and wish Barcelona were eliminated immediately.

The next step is to see which team Barcelona draws.

The result was Bayern Munich.

Liverpool vs Chelsea.

In the bottom half, Manchester United vs Porto, Arsenal vs Villarreal.

"Even if Bayern can't stop it, Liverpool and Chelsea can."

"Look at how you win the Champions League."

"Is Bayern strong?"

"Don't worry, Barcelona will be able to reach the Champions League final today!"

"yes, even if you make it to the final, you can't erase the fact that you lost to us twice in a season."

……

"World Sports" reported at the first time after the draw: "Barcelona vs Bayern Munich, Espanyol vs Aston Villa, both Catalan teams have reached the quarterfinals, two European competitions, they are shouldering the European task of Spain this season, compared to the difficulties encountered by Barcelona, and the Espanyol are a smooth road." Villarreal, another team, is also likely to reach the last four of the Champions League, and Arsenal are not strong this season. ”

"In the individual scorer list, Messi is currently leading the scorer list in the Champions League, and Stone is also catching up in the League Cup scorer list, no matter what, the performance of the two will determine how far the team can go in the end, at present, Messi and Stone are very likely to win the best scorer of the season, and Messi will compete for the Ballon d'Or at the end of the year, and Stone may compete with AC Milan's Pato for the European Golden Boy Award."
