Chapter 839: Fate is strikingly similar
However, in the end, the reality disappointed Jiang Chen.
Although the final team is also from Italy, it is not Napoli, but AC Milan, and Juventus will play Milan.
Next, apart from Napoli, the other three teams are Barcelona, Schalke 04 and Inter Milan.
Barcelona are a powerhouse in La Liga, while Inter Milan are the defending champions of the Champions League, and both teams are very strong, so it is natural for the Napolins to draw Schalke 04.
Of the remaining teams, it is clear that Schalke 04 are a cut down on them, and Napoli will be hoping to draw them.
The next draw is very crucial, because after this matchup is drawn, another matchup will naturally be generated.
The coaches and fans of the remaining four teams were very nervous and excited, and they were all closely watching the draw this time.
The next team to be drawn out was the strong team Barcelona from Spain, and after seeing this team come out, Jiang Chen's heart couldn't help but feel a sudden burst.
It was at this time that Barcelona's opponent was drawn out, Napoli from Italy.
Seeing this result, Jiang Chen sighed in his heart, it seems that good luck will definitely not befall him, Napoli did not meet Schalke in the Bundesliga, but met Barcelona, this game is a very difficult game for the Napoli team.
After the draw was over, all eyes were on the match between Napoli and Barcelona.
Because, the blue shield vs. Barcelona, this is likely to be one of the most classic matchups in the Champions League this season.
Both teams play very gorgeously, both are teams holding high the banner of attack, and the collision between these two teams will be a showdown of gorgeous attack football, which is bound to be a visual feast.
Last season's UEFA Champions League, Napoli and Barcelona also met in the knockout rounds, and the two sides also met in the quarter-finals, and the history is always strikingly similar.
Last season's knockout tie between the two sides was impressive so far, with Napoli holding a 2-2 draw at their home stadium to a mighty Barcelona side.
But on the road, the Napoli team did suffer a heavy defeat at the feet of Messi, and the Argentine king staged a super quadruple at the Camp Nou, defeating the Napoli team 4-1 and eliminating the Napoli team with an aggregate score of 6-3.
Barcelona can be said to be a bitter opponent of the Napoli team, which have never beaten Barcelona in the history of the two sides.
The grudge between the two teams is quite deep, and this time the two teams meet again, it is clear that the Napoli team has obvious revenge intentions, and this season they are going to kill the Barcelona team, and they will be ashamed.
However, now the outside media is not optimistic about the Napoli team, after all, in the historical record, the Napoli team has not won against the Barcelona team once, and the Barcelona team is the nemesis of the Napoli team.
However, the outside media is very concerned about this game, and it is a game worth looking forward to.
Now Barcelona and Napoli are the two most attacking teams in Europe this season, and the collision between these two teams will be the duel of the strongest spears in Europe, which naturally attracts everyone's attention.
So far, Barcelona have scored a staggering 135 goals in all competitions this season, including 22 of them, making them the top scorers in Europe.
Barcelona's sharp attack has frightened countless teams and made countless experts stunned, the Barcelona team is simply too strong, they are the biggest favorites to win this UEFA Champions League.
However, Napoli have also been very attacking this season, and they are the second-highest team in Europe for goals so far this season, behind only Barcelona.
So far, Napoli have scored 133 goals in all competitions this season, an astonishing efficiency, with 16 of them on the scoresheet.
These two teams are the two sharpest spears in Europe today, and when these two teams collide, it will definitely be Mars hitting the earth, and now all the fans can't wait, they are very eager to see this game.
Journalists and fans alike know that if these two teams play against each other, it will be a fantastic matchup.
And when the draw results came out, Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri said in an interview with media reporters: "In the first leg of the meeting in Rome, my team will try to keep putting pressure on Barcelona and try to try to get the home team to attack. We have to win Barcelona at home so that in the second leg we can win the game better. ”
Maurizio Sarri's intentions are clear, and Napoli must win the home game. Maurizio Sarri emphasised the attack, and Napoli will definitely storm this game and give Barcelona no chance.
Barcelona, on the other hand, have been strong this season, and according to their usual style, they will also respond to the changing situation with the same attack.
So, this game is definitely a gorgeous head-to-head battle.
When the time comes, fans will get to see one of the most spectacular and exciting matches of the Champions League this season.
In addition to this reason, there is also a reason that there are a lot of excellent attacking players in the two teams, such as Coutinho, Rakitic, Messi, Hamsik, Zielinski, Alan and Jiang Chen, etc., these attacking geniuses face off together, and this game is absolutely exciting.
There is another place that attracts everyone's attention in this game, that is, the duel between the two high-level strikers in the two teams, these two are Messi, the star of the Barcelona team, and Jiang Chen, the leading striker of the Napoli team.
As for Barcelona, Messi is still a nightmare for Napoli players, and his senior joy last season is believed to have chilled the Blue Shield players who have experienced that game, and he will still be Barcelona's most dangerous player in this game.
So far this season, Messi has scored 45 goals in all competitions, which is really getting more and more demonic, and since 2020, he has scored 19 goals in just three months, which is amazingly efficient and powerful.
On the Napoli side, the most eye-catching prolific goalscorer is naturally Jiang Chen, a super striker they only introduced this season.
At the beginning of joining the Napoli team this season, Jiang Chen fell into a crisis of confidence, did not score in the first seven rounds, and fell into a long-term goal drought, which attracted very big doubts and criticism during that period.
