March 15, 2013.

The draw for the quarter-finals of the 2012/2013 Champions League took place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

The first draw was Real Madrid vs Porto.

The camera captures Real Madrid coach Jose. A smile on the corner of Mourinho's mouth, it is clear that this is a good sign for Real Madrid.

Jiang Chenxi and Salah and Alexander. Dragovich watched the draw live in front of the TV.

Everyone sighed, among the quarterfinals, only Porto was relatively weak, and it was the opponent that Basel was most eager to meet, but they didn't expect Porto to be drawn out so quickly.

Of course, at the same time, they were a little fortunate that they avoided Real Madrid's formidable opponents.

……

Subsequently, Dortmund of the Bundesliga drew the French giants Paris Saint-Germain.

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen. Jurgen Klopp's expression was serious, while Paris Saint-Germain coach Carlo Ancelotti also had a solemn expression.

Immediately afterwards, the Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich drew the Serie A giants Juventus.

There was a burst of exclamations at the scene, and the collision between these two teams can be called the closest group in the quarterfinals, and it is reasonable to win or lose.

The managers of both teams are old and young, and Bayern coach Heynckes, who once won the Champions League, is likely to retire at the end of the season. Even if he doesn't retire, he has to give way to the ambitious Pep Guardiola. A Champions League trophy is naturally Heynckes' ideal curtain call. As for the young Antonio Conte, although it is the first time he has led the team to the Champions League as a manager, he is all too familiar with the Champions League and even the final as a player. In addition to the battle of wits between the two coaches, Neuer vs Buffon, Schweinsteiger vs Pirlo, Alaba vs Pogba and other confrontations related to the first goalkeeper, the first midfielder, and the first new star will be the highlight of the game.

Then, the camera gave Barcelona manager Vilanova a close-up, and the Barcelona young coach showed a smile on his face, and it was clear that he was very satisfied with the big package that Barcelona had drawn in the quarterfinals.

……

In fact, before the draw, the Catalan media Daily Sport previously pointed out that the Barcelona players wanted to draw Porto or Basel. Of all seven potential opponents for Barcelona, Basel is undoubtedly undoubtedly the weakest team in the world.

Yes, the draw has been made to the end, and only two teams remain, Barcelona and Basel, who will face each other in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Real Madrid vs Porto;

Borussia Dortmund vs Paris Saint-Germain;

Bayern Munich vs Juventus;

Barcelona v Basel;

This is how the quarter-finals of the 2012/2013 UEFA Champions League will be played out.

……

As soon as the draw results of the Champions League quarterfinals came out, they immediately became the focus of media coverage in various countries.

La Liga's two giants, Real Madrid and Barcelona, drew Porto and Basel respectively, which also made the Spanish media very happy.

Marca: "Very good opponent. ”

As: "Although Basel was not drawn, Porto was not bad. ”

Yes, the Madrid media were happy with the draw, and if there was one thing they weren't happy with, it was that Basel was not drawn.

In fact, after the results of the draw were announced, the Catalan media cheered, and the cover headline of the newspaper Daily Sport reads "A candy", believing that Barcelona have won the lottery.

The cover headline of Le Monde Sport was even more triumphant: "Basel Pack, They All Want".

……

Barcelona is full of joy.

Basel, on the other hand, can be said to be full of mourning.

The Swiss media are very pessimistic, believing that Basel's Champions League journey will end here.

"Unfortunately, we got the Cosmos, which couldn't have been worse." —The Basel Post.

Real Madrid with Cristiano Ronaldo and Barcelona with Messi are undoubtedly opponents that no team wants to meet.

Messi and Ronaldo are undoubtedly the strongest duo in football in the past decade, the most topical and influential stars.

This is the era of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.

Since 2008, world football has completely entered the rule of Messi Ronaldo, the two have taken turns to be kings, and the Golden Ball Award and the selection of World Footballer have become the back garden of the two of them. In 2008, Cristiano Ronaldo became king for the first time. From 2009 to 2012, Messi won the yuan for 4 consecutive years.

Any team that encounters Barcelona with Messi will have a lot of headaches, let alone Basel, a non-mainstream team from the Swiss Super League.

……

No one is optimistic about Basel, everyone thinks Barcelona will advance to the last four without breaking a sweat.

"This is the strongest and weakest confrontation." - The Times.

"The ...... of the least suspenseful showdown" - Milan Sport Newspaper.

Some media even bluntly said that this is UEFA's guarantee that Barcelona will reach the semi-finals.

The media in China are also sighing, 'It's really a pity, Jiang Chenxi's Champions League road has come to an end, but we still have to thank Jiang Chenxi, thank him for the happiness he has brought us this season, at least, now, he is the Champions League top scorer, and his goals are more than Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi.' ’

The game has not yet begun, and in the eyes of everyone, Basel has only one breath left, no, to be exact, in the eyes of the people, Basel is already a corpse......

……

"Do you think so much about us?" Jiang Chenxi put down the newspaper and said a little stupidly.

That's right, he also called Barcelona strong, Messi strong, Xavi strong, Iniesta strong, but — this feeling of being sentenced to death is really uncomfortable.

"That's normal." Team veteran Rasdorav. Kovacs said.

"yes, that's Barcelona." Giles. Yupie nodded.

The other players nodded their heads as well.

That's Barcelona with Messi, Barcelona has stood on top of Europe twice in the last four years.

Jiang Chenxi frowned, he didn't like the feeling now, and he didn't like the team's current sluggish atmosphere.

What happened to Barcelona?

Before the game was played, they all had no fighting spirit and surrendered their guns?!

No matter who the opponent is, no matter how strong the opponent is, Jiang Chenxi feels that he should dare to fight, even if he falls, he must use his last strength to drain the last drop of blood!

However, Jiang Chenxi didn't say anything, he is not a light talker, he is now Basel's number one star, and he is certainly qualified to speak in the team's locker room.

It's that he knows that it's useless to say anything, the whole team is full of awe of Barcelona, and everyone is killed, which is not something he can solve with a sentence or two.

……

The mood is very depressed.

During this day's training, Jiang Chenxi kept a straight face, but no one felt strange, because the atmosphere of the entire Basel team was very depressing.

Basel club manager Kent . Hasler and the team's head coach Heckie. When Volger saw this scene, the two of them just shook their heads and didn't say anything.

In fact, they are also very pessimistic about their team's Champions League prospects.

Barcelona is too strong.

In addition, it has to be mentioned that Basel has reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League, which is the best result in the history of the club, and they have already exceeded the task.

In the training on the second day, the psychology of the players in Basel has been adjusted, not that they have the fighting spirit to scare Barcelona, but they have already figured it out, the opponent is spicy, and the team can enter the quarterfinals is already very remarkable, what do you want to do so much?

……

Three days later, in the 24th round of the Swiss Super League, Basel was 1-0 at home to Thun, and Jiang Chenxi was suspended for accumulating yellow cards.

Three days later, in the 25th round of the Swiss Super League, Barcelona defeated Lusen 6-0 away, Jiang Chenxi scored a hat trick, and his goals in the Swiss Super League this season have climbed to 33 goals.

Basel, on the other hand, is already 16 points ahead of second-place Grasshoppers in the Swiss Super League standings.

After the match against Lucerne, the Basel squad departed for Barcelona to prepare for the first leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Barcelona.
