The draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League took place on Monday at UEFA headquarters in Switzerland.

Because there were fewer teams participating in the draw, the draw ceremony was simple and the results were soon in.

To the disappointment of those who don't think it's a big deal to watch the excitement, Real Madrid did not draw with Atletico Madrid.

Real Madrid drew a relatively weak opponent - Manchester City.

The reason why Manchester City are relatively weak is because this is the first time in the club's history that Manchester City have reached the last four of the Champions League, they have never done it before, and the lack of experience in this area is the biggest problem for Manchester City.

Atletico Madrid's opponent is Bayern Munich.

In the second leg of the quarterfinals, Bayern Munich defeated Benfica by only one goal in the first leg, drew 2:2 away, and advanced with an aggregate score of 3:2 and became Atletico Madrid's opponent.

It can be said that this is not a good sign.

Bayern Munich's quality is evident, starting from the 2011-2012 season until now, they have reached at least the last four of the Champions League every season.

It's been five seasons in a row.

There is definitely something special about the consistency of the performance.

Everyone knows that Spain's "national derby" is Real Madrid vs. Barcelona, and Italy's "national derby" is Inter Milan vs. Juventus, so does anyone know the "European derby"?

Generally, a country's national derby is naturally a collision of two of the country's strongest teams.

Then the European derby should also be a clash of two of the strongest teams in all of Europe.

Only the match between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich can be called a "European derby".

From this name alone, everyone can see the strength and status of Bayern Munich.

Today, Bayern Munich, under the leadership of former Barcelona coach Pep Guardiola, are attacking for the Champions League title.

Of course, this does not mean that Atletico Madrid is necessarily on the underdog.

Don't look at Bayern Munich's glory in the Champions League over the years, but they also have their own difficulties.

Pep Guardiola came to take over from former Bayern Munich coach Heynckes.

Originally, he was tasked with leading Bayern Munich to the goal of winning the Champions League.

Until then, Bayern Munich had not had a good run in the Champions League, reaching the final twice in three years, losing to Jose Mourinho's Inter Milan at the Bernabeu and Chelsea's Didier Drogba on home turf before losing on penalties.

It's always a breath away from the Champions League.

In addition, the league is also facing Dortmund's pressing step by step, which is very embarrassing.

The top management of Bayern Munich Club came up with the idea of changing the coach.

At that time, the team was coached by the meritorious coach Heynckes, but he was old, so it was time to consider the question of a successor.

But Bayern Munich's operation is a bit mysterious, and in the middle of the 2012-2013 season, a new manager was suddenly announced, and the successor was Pep Guardiola. At that time, the club's contract with Heynckes had not yet ended, and even if Guardiola was to take over, he would have to wait until the end of the season.

At that time, many media criticized Bayern Munich FC's approach, which was a very serious public relations accident and an extreme disrespect to the old coach Heynckes.

But I don't know if it was Bayern Munich's mysterious operation that stimulated the old coach Heynckes and Bayern Munich's players.

After the announcement of the change of manager, Bayern Munich's performance suddenly improved, and they made it all the way to the Champions League final.

In the league they snatched back the league title from Borussia Dortmund and in the German Cup, they beat Stuttgart to lift the trophy. In the Champions League final, they defeated their old rivals Borussia Dortmund to win the first treble in German football history!

Bayern Munich's hierarchy brought Pep Guardiola to coach because they valued his experience and ability to lead Barcelona to the treble in the 2008-2009 season, and hoped that he could replicate this success at Bayern Munich.

Who would have thought that before Guardiola was about to take office, Heynckes, who was going to be replaced by him, did it!

It's a little embarrassing......

At that time, some media gloated that Guardiola would face unprecedented pressure.

Yes, his predecessor Zhuyu has already won almost all the top honors that a club manager can get, so what else is he going to do next?

Even if he wins the treble, he may only be considered to have equalled Heynckes, and unless he replicates his six-time record at Barcelona, he will probably remain in the shadow of the retired manager.

But the contracts are all signed, and it is obviously impossible for Guardiola to give up coaching Bayern Munich at this time.

And just like that, with a huge dark cloud over his head, Guardiola took over at Bayern Munich.

In his first season, he led Bayern Munich to great success in the league, eventually winning the title by a huge margin of nineteen points over second-placed Borussia Dortmund. In March, after the 27th round of the league, Pep Guardiola's side were 25 points ahead of second-placed Borussia Dortmund and won the title seven rounds earlier. It has set a record for the earliest championship in Europe's top five leagues. And Pep Guardiola's side also had a record 19 consecutive wins that season.

Having won the league in March, it stands to reason that they have plenty of time to prepare for the Champions League and try to do well in the competition.

But perhaps it was too early to win the championship, and the players' game form was wiped out in the rest of the rotation.

That season, Bayern Munich was eliminated by Real Madrid 5-0 over two legs in the semi-finals, including the second leg, Real Madrid defeated Bayern Munich 4-0 away, and Cristiano Ronaldo scored twice, breaking the record of 14 goals in a single season in the Champions League held by Altafini and Messi.

Bayern Munich became the eternal backdrop for this record.

In the end, Bayern Munich won the league championship and the German Cup that season, and they were one short of the Champions League to become the treble......

In Pep Guardiola's second season in charge, in the 2014-2015 season, Bayern Munich won the title by 10 points. But they lost the German Cup.

This time in the Champions League semi-finals, they faced Pep Guardiola's former club Barcelona. Although Bayern Munich beat Barcelona 3-2 at home this time, they were beaten 3-0 by Enrique's side on the road, and were eliminated 5-3 on aggregate.

The 2015-2016 season, which is the current season, is Pep Guardiola's third season in charge of Bayern Munich.

Thirty rounds of league games have been played, and Bayern Munich is in first place with a seven-point advantage.

With four league games remaining, it is no surprise that Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich will also claim the league title.

They also reached the final of the German Cup against old rivals Borussia Dortmund.

And in the Champions League, they once again came to the crossroads of fate - the semi-finals of the Champions League.

For two consecutive seasons, Guardiola and his "cosmic benevolence" have fallen here, and they can't do more than three, so can Guardiola break through his "fate" in Atletico Madrid this time?
