Chapter 278: I Don't Want to Touch Barcelona

The next day, the news of Arsenal's elimination of Real Madrid naturally became the focus of public opinion in European football, even if Arsenal had already won Real Madrid away from home in the first leg, but after all, this was a two-legged game, and now, Arsenal completely strangled Real Madrid, and finally there was no suspense.

Although there is no shortage of strong dialogues in several other matchups, and even a fateful battle between Barcelona and Chelsea, it is the gimmick of the disintegration of Real Madrid's Galaxy battleship that is more interesting in comparison.

Of course, no matter how much pressure Real Madrid is under now, and how anxious Florentino is, it is not about Arsenal and Quaresma, and the ability to eliminate Real Madrid smoothly has made the Gunners breathe a sigh of relief.

The quarter-finals are already the goal for Arsenal at the start of the season, after all, you can't expect a team that has lost its number one star to play well, and this is already Arsenal's best result in Champions League history, so you can't expect more.

But with the fighting power that Arsenal are showing right now, why can't they be expected to go further?

Especially now that the two-gun combination of Henry and Quaresma has begun to take shape, and Xiaofa is gradually able to support the midfield beams, it is entirely possible for the current Arsenal to compete with any team.

After the game was played the next night, the Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds were all over, the Champions League quarterfinals were released, and UEFA also directly conducted the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals.

In the big battle between Barcelona and Chelsea, a lot of drama happened, and in the end, Barcelona also eliminated Chelsea, which can be regarded as revenge last season.

Quaresma breathed a sigh of relief, he was really afraid that history would have some unknown deviation at this moment.

Arsenal made it to the quarter-finals, but it would be interesting if Barcelona were eliminated!

Quaresma is still waiting to meet Barcelona in the final, but he really doesn't want Barcelona to be eliminated so early, which will make him very unmotivated.

Another team in the Premier League, Liverpool, was eliminated by the Portuguese Super League team Benfica, and the defending champions were out, which is not a big upset.

Last season's Benfica was not so urinating, and was bullied by Porto in the Portuguese Super League, who knew that this season would be shaking.

Don't let Arsenal encounter it, otherwise Quaresma will teach Benfica to be a man in minutes.

In the quarter-finals, only Arsenal is left, which is very different from the feat of three Premier League teams in the semi-finals last season, and Arsenal's pressure is also a lot higher, after all, they are fully capable of representing English football.

In the quarterfinals of the Champions League, there are three Serie A teams, that is, the traditional northern top three of Serie A, Juventus, Inter Milan and Milan, they have defeated their opponents respectively, of course, the strength of their opponents is not strong, only Milan meets Bayern is a tough battle, but Bayern at this time is really not the top in Europe.

In addition, Villarreal in Serie A and Lyon, the overlord of Ligue 1, the overall gold content of the Champions League quarterfinals is actually good, at least it will not be as boring as the 03-04 season.

Naturally, the draw ceremony attracted a lot of attention, and before the draw ceremony, various predictions emerged in an endless stream and there was also a lot of market, and fans spontaneously participated in it.

The whole Arsenal team was interviewed by the media, and the prediction of the draw, which opponent they will meet and which opponent they don't want to touch, is also the news gossip that England fans are very willing to see.

Arsene Wenger and his other team-mates have said a lot of clichéd answers, and even if a player says the name of his ideal opponent or who he doesn't want to touch, it's all ambiguous and won't say the deeper reason, which makes reporters unhappy.

But it doesn't matter, there's Quaresma, and many times, the Portuguese are the epitome of unstoppable vows, and Quaresma isn't afraid of journalists getting things done.

"First of all, Arsenal's strength, no matter who they meet, they have the power to fight, so we don't want to be afraid of anyone!"

"In the quarter-finals, only Benfica is slightly weaker, and whether I play for Sporting Lisbon or Porto, I have a sworn rival with Benfica, so I will be very happy if I can meet Benfica in the quarter-finals!"

"Lyon and Villarreal are not traditional giants, but they are not bad, I am afraid Arsenal will not be easy to meet them, but compared to several giants, they are still a little easier to deal with!"

"Porto was eliminated by Milan last season, although I am no longer in Porto, but if I can meet Milan, I am also happy to ask for an explanation for what happened last season, I will ask Milan to pay off the debt for what happened last season, but I have a hunch that we may not meet Milan!"

"Inter and Juventus, I don't know much, but there is no doubt that they are both at the top level, and it will definitely be a tough battle against them, but this is by no means a reason for Arsenal to be afraid!"

"Barcelona, well, Barcelona, do you want to hear the truth or falsehood?"

"It's a lie, it doesn't matter if you touch Barcelona or not!"

"The truth is, I don't want to meet Barcelona, at least not in the quarterfinals!"

"I'm afraid of Barca's quality? Afraid of being eliminated by Barcelona? ”

"It's a really funny joke!"

"When I left Barcelona two seasons ago, I told myself that one day I had to really beat Barcelona on the pitch and if possible, it would be the Champions League final!"

"So, I don't want to meet Barcelona now, I hope Arsenal can reach the Champions League final, Barcelona can also reach the Champions League final, on the stage of the Champions League final, really compete, in front of Barcelona to lift the championship trophy, is there anything more joyful?"

Compared with the unnutritious clichés of other players, Quaresma's speech is undoubtedly much more vigorous, maybe not anywhere else, but the mere hope of meeting Barcelona in the final is enough to detonate sales.

The draw for the quarter-finals hasn't taken place yet, and you've already thought about the final, which is sure that Arsenal can reach the final?

Secondly, if you have to meet Barcelona in the Champions League final, if Arsenal really wins Barcelona and lifts the championship trophy, how much irony and humiliation it will have for Barcelona, especially Quaresma, a Barcelona outcast, to lift the championship trophy in front of his old club, it is simply to press Barcelona to the ground and rub it repeatedly, how embarrassing and embarrassing Barcelona will be.

It seems that Quaresma really hates Barcelona to the core.

If UEFA really arranges things clearly, they must save this focus for the final and never let Barcelona and Arsenal meet in advance.

That way, it's interesting!
