Yang Yang almost broke his leg and caused a stir in Spain, and by midweek, the remaining four games of the Champions League round of 16 knockout rounds were played, and the list of the top eight quickly occupied the pages of the world's major media.

Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Bordeaux in Ligue 1, CSKA Moscow in the Russian Premier League and Inter Milan in Serie A.

The quarter-finals of this year's Champions League are drawn from six leagues, making it the most dispersed season in the last eight in nearly a decade.

Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are the six traditional giants, needless to say, Bordeaux of Ligue 1 beat Bayern Munich and Juventus in the group stage and qualified as the group leader.

The team, led by France's Blanco, drew away to Juventus in the group stage, beat Bayern Munich home and away, and then beat the Old Lady 2-0 at home.

CSKA Moscow was also unambiguous, drawing 3-3 away at Manchester United, beating Wolfsburg at home, and then beating La Liga powerhouse Sevilla 1-1 at home and 2-1 away in the knockout round of 16.

Sevilla are one of the eight seeded teams in this year's Champions League.

None of the teams that can reach the quarterfinals are weak teams, and it is also exciting to catch and fight.

According to the questionnaire survey conducted on the official website of UEFA before the game, the team selected by fans as the most unwilling to meet, Real Madrid led by Yang Yang ranked first, and the reason is very simple, Benitez is known as the king of the cup, Yang Yang is now in good shape, coupled with the overall strength of Real Madrid, this team has become a nightmare that the top eight teams are afraid to avoid.

Then it is naturally Messi's Barcelona, Guardiola's dream three team is ambitious this season, wanting to make a difference in the Champions League, especially in La Liga, they are already five points behind Real Madrid, although the league is not yet known, but Barcelona's strategy is obviously more inclined to the Champions League.

There is also a team to be feared, of course is Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan, this Serie A team is also very difficult, with iron will and an impregnable defense, which makes people full of awe of them.

In the most anticipated matchup, the duel between Real Madrid and Barcelona is far ahead, and even many fans are eager to see these two La Liga giants meet in the quarterfinals, knocking out one in advance, and avoiding the situation that the two La Liga giants will gather in the Champions League final.

The expected matchup in second place is Real Madrid vs. Bayern Munich, with Yang Yang meeting Van Gaal.

In the past few years, the story of Yang Yang and Van Gaal has been spread by the media all over the world, and it can be said that it is known on the streets.

Van Gaal is Yang Yang's Bole, Yang Yang has always hoped to have the opportunity to play under Van Gaal, the two are also teachers and friends, coupled with the previous years of grudges between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, so that the two teams meet is destined to be full of topics.

On the second day after all the knockout rounds of the Champions League last-16 were played, the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League was held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

……

The draw was presided over by UEFA Secretary-General Gianluigi Infantino, and Real Madrid senior Butragueno served as a guest of honour as the venue for hosting the final, and the eight teams that entered the Champions League final were all represented in attendance.

In the end, the result was a bit of a surprise, and all the expected showdowns did not happen.

Barcelona met Arsenal, the last time the two teams met was in the Champions League final, and in the same semi-zone were Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow, which should be considered a stroke of luck for Inter Milan to draw the weakest of the quarter-finals.

Bayern Munich drew Bordeaux in Ligue 1, and the two teams that met in the group stage are now reunited in the quarter-finals.

Real Madrid encountered Manchester United, and the Red Devils should be considered the saddest team, drawing the stubble that everyone is least willing to touch.

Real Madrid under the tutelage of the king of the cup Rafael Benitez has gradually taken shape, and Yang Yang has also shown super fighting power and competitive form in the second half, coupled with Ibrahimovic, Robben, Sneijder, Xavi Alonso and other world-class stars, which have made Manchester United worried.

…………

…………

The draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League was scheduled for midday, just in time for the players to rest.

At the Carrington training ground in Manchester, the United players sat in front of the television, watching the draw intently, as it was directly related to their opponents for the rest of the match.

When Infantino opened the ball, took out a note with the name of Real Madrid written on it, and turned it over to show it to the live camera, everyone was obviously stunned for a moment, and then there was a sigh.

I actually won the draw against Real Madrid!

This is definitely the last opponent Manchester United wants to face.

Why?

Benitez is not only good at playing cup games, but also very familiar with the Premier League, not to mention Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic, Robben and other world-class stars, especially Yang Yang, his achievements in the Premier League in the past few years, even now, still leave a shadow on the hearts of all Premier League teams.

His achievements are so high that one cannot but look up to them.

"It's unfortunate to run into Real Madrid!"

"Isn't it? This team has been in good shape recently, especially Yang Yang, who has just staged the fifth son Dengke, which is not easy to play. ”

"Since the winter break, Real Madrid has gradually stabilized, and I am afraid it will become more and more difficult."

"But anyway, since we have encountered it, we can only fight it."

There was a lot of talk in the players' lounge, and it was clear that the United players weren't too sure.

Of course, perhaps, when they go out and face the media, they won't say it like they do now.

Looking at the whole of Europe, who dares to say that they are sure enough not to fall behind in the face of Real Madrid?

Cristiano Ronaldo gritted his teeth as he watched the matchups played on the TV screen, and he was completely different from the others, because before the draw, he prayed more than once to meet Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.

He wants to fight Yang Yang!

After the peak of the 07-08 season, Cristiano Ronaldo's form declined significantly last season, which led to his performance at Manchester United being criticized, and the team ended up empty-handed, on the other hand, Yang Yang won the quadruple in Liverpool and went to Spain to come to Real Madrid like a savior.

In the eyes of the Portuguese, all the respect that Yang Yang received at the Bernabeu should have belonged to him.

His agent had an agreement with Calderón, but everything changed when Florentino came to power.

Cristiano Ronaldo's form has improved significantly this season, scoring 17 goals in 27 league games and seven in the Champions League, just one goal behind Yang.

What's more, this report came after almost two months of hiatus, and it's fair to say that he's found his peak form.

Now, he is eager to touch Yang Yang to prove his strength, and at the same time let Florentino see clearly that giving up on himself and choosing Yang Yang will be the stupidest mistake he has made as the president of Real Madrid.

All of this is a secret in Cristiano Ronaldo's heart, and he won't tell anyone, but after hearing the talk and cowardly remarks of his teammates, the Portuguese Hodi suddenly stood up.

"We're going to beat Real Madrid and get to the semi-finals!" Cristiano Ronaldo said loudly.

With that, he turned and walked to the gym.

…………

…………

On the evening of March 20, in the 27th round of La Liga, Real Madrid hosted Sporting Gijón.

Real Madrid did not perform well in the first half, and Benitez further strengthened the team's attack at half-time, replacing Mascherano with Guti, leaving Xavi Alonso as a single midfielder, and Guti and Sneijder forming a double midfield.

This change completely activated Real Madrid's offensive.

First, after Yang Yang's shot was saved by the opposing goalkeeper, Sneijder picked up the missed shot and hit it.

Then Sneijder took a corner, Yang Yang grabbed the first spot, headed the goal, tried to top a far corner, only Xavi Alonso suddenly rushed to the goal and took the first step to head Yang Yang's header into the goal.

This suddenly made Yang Yang depressed.

I didn't score a goal just now, and it was okay to turn into an assist by chance, this goal can be scored, why was it "assisted" again?

Xavi Alonso ran to Yang Yang with a grin, and kept saying that he really didn't mean it, but just happened to run to that position, and just saw the ball flying over, so he took advantage of it.

But Yang Yang is too innocent, even if Xavi Alonso doesn't take this shot, this goal will be scored.

All of a sudden, a goal turned into an assist, and it was a chilling feeling.

Then, Sneijder split the ball to the right, and Robben cut inside from the right and fired a low shot into the net for Real Madrid, 3-0.

In the final stages of the match, Sporting Gijón suddenly launched an offensive to pull back a game for the team.

In the end, Real Madrid defeated Sporting Gijón 3-1.

Sneijder was voted Man of the Match for his outstanding performances.

……

A week later, at the Alonso Pérez Stadium in Madrid.

The match was played in the rain and the pitch was very slippery.

Real Madrid opened the scoring in the opening 13 minutes, and Yang Yang scored through Getafe's goal with a direct free kick.

Xavi Alonso and Sneijder then combined with successive passes to assist Ibrahimovic to score in the box, 2-0.

Then there was Xavi Alonso's through ball and Ibrahimovic fired home with a volley past two Getafe players to make it 3-0.

In the 32nd minute of the first half, Snedra crossed to the left, Yang Yang grabbed the landing point in the penalty area, scored a brace with a header, and expanded the score to 4-0.

Towards the end of the first half, Getafe pulled one back when former Real Madrid player Parejo scored a goal.

After the rematch in the second half, Real Madrid began to hold back and prepare for the Champions League game in midweek.

In the end, Real Madrid beat Getafe 4-1 away.
