Chapter 209: Real Madrid, Real Madrid

The draw ceremony began, and the multipurpose hall of the training base was quiet, with all the players glued to the screen.

Two short films were shown, one from the first Champions League final 50 years ago, and a brief recap of the group stage.

Interestingly, in the Arsenal segment in the second short film, both Henry and Quaresma are out of the country, and Quaresma is a few seconds longer than Henry.

While this may have been due to Quaresma's more spectacular goals and more eye-catching performances in the Champions League group stage, it is undeniable that it is also a reflection of the player's status to some extent.

It has been widely acknowledged, at least, that Quaresma has become one of Arsenal's leading stars in a short period of time, along with Thierry Henry.

This is not a qualification that Quaresma has mixed up by relying on his life, but he has really played with strength, and no one can find fault with it.

After the video, UEFA CEO Olsson kept chattering on stage, although his main purpose was to announce the rules of the draw, but probably because he was too excited to speak in front of so many people, he didn't know where to turn the topic in a few words, if it wasn't for a special staff member to remind him, Quaresma swore that he would have heard about the postpartum care of sows in a while.

Finally, Olsson finished speaking, and the draw officially began.

All eyes were on Olsson, and the first red ball he drew was Chelsea.

And something even more incredible happened, and then the green ball drawn by Olsson was the La Liga giants Barcelona.

Not only was there an uproar at the scene, but even the multipurpose hall of the Kearney training base resounded with an exclamation.

'Chelsea and Barcelona played a tough game last season and now they meet in the first knockout round?"

"UEFA is starting to shy away from others when they are doing shady things now?"

"There's a good show to watch, Chelsea play Barcelona, it's better to lose both, and then Chelsea knocks out Barcelona, and we have a chance to pick up the leak in the Premier League!"

......

It's no wonder that everyone reacted this way, in the round of 16 last season, Barcelona and Chelsea met together, and the two legs were full of energy, which was called an incentive, and finally Chelsea eliminated Barcelona at home in the second leg and advanced to the quarter-finals.

And now, the road is narrow, and the two teams have met again in the round of 16, saying that UEFA is not doing something, and no one believes it.

Speaking of which, both Chelsea and Barcelona are actually the favorites to win the Champions League, and it is not a good thing to meet each other so early.

But who knows what kind of considerations UEFA had in mind to make such an arrangement, Quaresma does not know.

As for saying that it is just a coincidence, don't take out this kind of statement to insult IQ.

Quaresma couldn't help but laugh, others didn't know, but he knew it clearly, Barcelona and Chelsea met again, and it was a chicken feather, which felt even more exciting than the Champions League final......

Well, now silently pray that history will not deviate, let Barcelona eliminate Chelsea, Barcelona doesn't care what means Quaresma uses, anyway, the result is not a problem, he is still waiting to meet Barcelona in the Champions League final!

Just when everyone was surprised by the results of the first draw, Olsson had already drawn another red ball, and it was revealed that the red ball belonged to Real Madrid.

Quaresma's eyes lit up, in fact, it was not bad to play Real Madrid.

Although it looks like the Galactic Battleship is still star-studded, it is actually riddled with holes inside, and it is far less terrifying than it seems.

The superstars are all old, and there is no way to maintain their form, maybe the offense is still good in the game, but the defense can't take it at all.

In the face of such a Real Madrid team that is about to disintegrate, Quaresma has 100% confidence.

"Arsenal!"

Quaresma suddenly let out a low snort, and all the team members turned their heads in unison and glared at Quaresma.

"Don't get excited, I mean it's not bad for us to touch Real Madrid!"

At this time, Olsson had already drawn out the green ball and opened it to show that it was Arsenal.

All the players looked at Quaresma in disbelief, and the facts in front of them made them feel incredulous.

Quaresma actually guessed right?

"Has your mouth been blessed by the Pope?"

"Oh my God, we actually ran into Real Madrid, I'm already on the verge of orgasm!"

"Ricardo big crow's mouth, why don't I want to touch Arsenal at all!"

"Damn, Ricardo, what are you talking about, isn't it easy to beat Benfica or something?"

......

After a few animals were shocked, they screamed, and the multi-purpose hall became a mess.

Quaresma was also a little stunned, he never thought that he would really run into Real Madrid.

Steady!

No matter what others thought, Quaresma wasn't worried at all, on the contrary, he was extremely excited.

Even if the strength of the Galaxy Battleship has declined a lot now, it is still a Galaxy Battleship, and this season is the last chance to touch them, if you can't touch it, wouldn't it be a pity?

No one cares about the next draw, and whatever the remaining outcome will not affect Arsenal.

However, Quaresma still watched the draw honestly, and maybe he could evoke some memories of his past life!

Bayern met AC Milan, which is already the third pair of strong conversations, but Quaresma knows that Bayern at this time may not be Milan's opponent.

As for the rest of the matchups, they are all strong and weak, and there are not too many highlights.

When the draw is over, Quaresma still has a little regret, because there is no Porto in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

The Portuguese Super League team that broke out of the group stage is Benfica, Porto's sworn enemies.

Because of the sale of too many stars this summer, Porto is already on the verge of collapse, even if Da Costa gains a lot, he can't avoid a little regret.

Quaresma pondered that it would be nice if Porto could also reach the round of 16, and maybe Arsenal would have a chance to meet Porto, which would be interesting.

However, it is a pity that Porto was in Group H, with Inter, Rangers and Bratislava, and the result was humiliating to finish first in the group, and even the Slovak team Bratislava did not play.

Well, there is no chance this season, and there is always a day when Porto will rise again, and Quaresma is convinced of this.

But at that time, Quaresma and I don't know how far I have grown, when I meet my old club, it will be a big killing performance, I hope that when the Porto fans see that they have played in Porto, don't boo themselves!
