……

On March 18, Jiang Chenxi was very lively in his mansion in Liverpool, where almost all his teammates such as Salah, Mane, Firmino and Van Dijk gathered.

This is an internal dinner for players held by Jiang Chenxi at home, inviting the whole team to the party.

It was a buffet party where the players ate and drank and gathered to watch the draw for the 2015/2016 Champions League quarter-finals.

The draw for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League was held in the evening of this day at UEFA's headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

The draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League will be drawn at random, without any evasion principle, and the home-and-away order will be drawn.

Presiding over the draw was UEFA Secretary-General Evantino, who said that in this draw, the team drawn first will be the home and away team. Then the big screen showed the highlights of the games of the top eight teams and the iconic buildings of the cities where the eight teams are located, and then the big screen played this season's Champions League ambassador and former AC Milan star Paul. Maldini's promotional video, because the final of this Champions League was played at the famous San Siro Stadium in Milan, and Maldini was also the guest of the draw for this ceremony.

Maldini was the first to draw from Benfica, a giant team from the Portuguese Super League.

Among the teams that have already advanced to the quarterfinals, Benfica is clearly the weakest, and this is also the 'soft persimmon' that the other seven teams want to draw.

Players including Jiang Chenxi are staring at the big TV screen, obviously they also want Liverpool to draw Benfica, to be able to meet the weak team, no one wants to meet the strong team, Liverpool is still a third-line battle, the season has entered the final sprint stage, can relieve the pressure of the opponent facing the team, which is naturally a good thing.

"Bayern Munich!" Maldini pronounced the name of the team that followed.

Bayern Munich vs Benfica!

In the footage, Bayern Munich big man Hoeness smiled, this is definitely a sign.

"Barcelona!" Maldini said.

The atmosphere on the scene began to be tense, this is definitely a strong opponent that they don't want to meet, of course, they have reached the quarterfinals, except for Benfica, which is indeed weak, the other seven teams are not easy to deal with.

"Atletico Madrid!" Maldini's voice raised.

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid!

This is a Spanish civil war, however, this is also expected, La Liga occupies three places in the quarterfinals, and the probability of a Spanish civil war is very high, which has long been expected by many.

……

"Liverpool!" Maldini drew the next sign.

Jiang Chenxi and the others immediately focused their attention, and the scene of the dinner was quiet.

"Manchester City!" Maldini said.

Liverpool vs Manchester City!

The Premier League also staged a civil war in the quarterfinals.

There was a burst of cheers from the dinner scene, for Liverpool, Manchester City is the best match result except Benfica, facing Manchester City, Liverpool is really not scared at all, this season in the league and League Cup three times against Manchester City, Liverpool have won, facing Manchester City, they have a great psychological advantage.

In the camera, the on-site management of the Manchester City team also showed a wry smile, if you count the Champions League quarterfinals and Liverpool's upcoming two-legged matches, they will play against Liverpool five times this season, the two sides are simply familiar with each other, and the worst thing is that Manchester City really seems to have nothing to do with Manchester City with Jiang Chenxi.

The three matchups have come out, and in this way, the final match has also been revealed, Real Madrid will play Paris Saint-Germain, which is also the second time that Neymar will play Cristiano Ronaldo's Real Madrid after leaving Barcelona and becoming the absolute core of a team.

So far, the 2015/2016 Champions League quarter-finals have all been revealed:

Real Madrid vs Paris Saint-Germain;

Bayern Munich vs Benfica;

Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid;

Liverpool vs Manchester City.

Because Liverpool is the first team to draw, so, according to the rules, Liverpool in the quarterfinals, will be the home and away schedule, this schedule is not good for Liverpool, which means that they must not lose in the first leg of this game.

Interestingly, after the draw results came out, the bookmakers immediately adjusted Liverpool's odds to win the championship, from 1 to 5 to 1 to 2, and it is clear that in the eyes of the bookmakers, they are also optimistic that Liverpool will cross Manchester City to reach the last four.
