After the game, the photo of Gao Zheng and Mr. Chen really appeared in major media and on the Internet.

However, no one criticized Mr. Chen's approach, nor did he criticize Gao Zheng.

Both the Spanish and Chinese media feel that this is a normal thing.

If there was such a close contact between the two sides before the game, it could be criticized. But the game is over, so what else is there to avoid?

This kind of topic doesn't even qualify as hype.

The fourth round of the Copa del Rey kicked off on December 1, and Atletico Madrid started this season's Copa del Rey as a first-division team directly from the fourth round, and their opponents were La Liga side Reus, in which Simeone did not let the main team play in this game.

Atletico Madrid eventually defeated Reus 2-1 away from home, and the two sides will play the second leg on the 17th, with Atletico Madrid returning to their home stadium to face their opponents.

Then on December 5, in the 14th round of La Liga, Atletico Madrid played Granada away, and although the final game of the Champions League group stage was next, Simeone did not use any rotation in this game.

Atletico Madrid, the main player, won 2:0 away from home and continued to lead the league standings.

The GG duo of Gao Zheng and Antoine Griezmann combined to score two goals, and they each scored one goal in the game.

Barcelona travelled to Valencia after their match against Granada, but Barcelona were held to a 1-1 draw by Valencia.

Valencia equalised in the 86th minute, arguably a stunning draw for Barcelona.

Barcelona unexpectedly capsized, giving Atletico Madrid a five-point lead all of a sudden.

Next, Atletico Madrid challenged Benfica away, and many of the main players in this game did not even travel with the team, but Gao Zheng still went.

It was precisely because Gao Zheng went that he finally helped Atletico Madrid defeat Benfica 2:1 away with his goal in the 75th minute and ended the group stage with an unbeaten record.

Benfica, on the other hand, finished second in the group with only eight points, qualifying from this group.

Only Galatasaray, who were held to a 1-1 draw by Astana at their home stadium, ended up accumulating five points and qualifying for the UEFA Cup.

Astana are out, ending their Champions League journey.

A day later, all the Champions League group stages were over and the teams that had qualified for the knockout stages were announced.

Although Real Madrid did not perform well in the league, they had a clear advantage in the Champions League, with five wins and one draw, and finished first in the group with 16 points. They scored 19 goals in those six group games. The team's top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo vented all his frustration of not scoring many goals in the league to the Champions League.

He scored a staggering eleven goals in the group stage alone!

This set a new record for goals scored in the Champions League group stage.

The previous record was also set by Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored nine goals in the group stage of the Champions League in 2013. A year later, Brazilian striker Luis Adriano, who played for Shakhtar Donetsk, also equalled Ronaldo's record with nine goals, while the Brazilian also set another record by scoring five goals in a single Champions League group stage win over Ryan Borisov in a 7-0 win over him, and becoming only the second player since Messi to score five goals in a single game in a Champions League game.

Cristiano Ronaldo was under tremendous pressure after the national derby defeat to Barcelona, and sometimes even boos could be heard at him during home games.

Here I have to say that Real Madrid fans are really a very obsessed group, they can give their rival players a round of applause on their home turf, but they are very harsh on their own players, and if they don't perform well, they will boo.

Even a player like Cristiano Ronaldo can be booed, and who else can be spared?

How did Dutch full-back Drenthe, the best player in the World Youth Championship, be booed at home and retire early?

Real Madrid fans seem to be happy to criticize their players, as if they don't deserve to wear a white shirt if they can't live up to their expectations.

Now Cristiano Ronaldo is far ahead of the Champions League scorers list with these eleven goals. Many media outlets and pundits are now predicting that he could break the record he set in a single Champions League season in 2013-2014.

He scored 17 goals at the time, a significant improvement of three goals from the previous record of 14 goals held by Altafini and Messi.

Everyone thought that this record would be difficult to break again, but now it seems that Ronaldo is the only one who can break Ronaldo's record.

In Group A, Real Madrid topped the table with 16 points and topped the group. They were followed by Paris Saint-Germain, who finished second in the group with 13 points.

Group B was a bit of a surprise as United failed to qualify from the group, finishing third with eight points. Wolfsburg are the top 12 points in the group and PSV Eindhoven are second in the group, and the two teams will join forces to qualify, and Manchester United will have to go to the Europa League.

Manchester United lost 2:3 away to Wolfsburg in the last game of life and death, and unfortunately exited.

Group C is the group stage in which Atletico Madrid are located, and they have qualified with Benfica.

In Group D, Manchester City have 12 points and Juventus 11 points, splitting the top two teams and qualifying for the knockout rounds.

Another La Liga side, Sevilla, were eliminated and had to go to the Europa League. However, this is not necessarily a bad thing for Sevilla, as the Europa League and its predecessor, the UEFA Cup, are also known as the "Sevilla Cup", which Sevilla won four times in ten seasons from 2006 to 2015. In the new century, the monopoly of the championship of this event has basically been realized.

So Sevilla's relegation to the Europa League is just a fish in water for Sevilla, and for the other teams who have participated in the Europa League, it is a day of sudden, the shark comes to the kindergarten pool, is there anyone else's way to live?

In Group E, Barcelona qualified with 14 points, and they have an absolute advantage in this group. Second-placed Roma and third-placed Bayer Leverkusen are tied on six points, but because Roma have the advantage in the head-to-head with Bayer Leverkusen, they beat the German team and won the right to qualify from the group.

Group F: Bayern Munich and Arsenal qualified together, with Bayern Munich topping the 15-point group and Arsenal finishing second in the nine-point group. However, in the same group, Olympiacos also has nine points, and their record against Arsenal is one win and one loss, the record is tied, and the goal difference when comparing each other's matches, Arsenal has the advantage in this regard, although they lost 2:3 at home to Olympiacos in the first leg, which caused an upset. However, in the final round of the group stage, they beat their opponents 3-0 away and finished second in the group with Olympiacos on the same points.

Group G saw Chelsea and Dynamo Kyiv finish top and second respectively.

Group H was a surprise in that Valencia, Lyon, Zenit and Gent were placed in the group, and everyone thought Valencia and Lyon should qualify from this group. The result was the opposite, with Zenit St. Petersburg topping the group with 15 points and Belgian side Gent finishing second in the 10th group. Valencia is third in the six-point group, while Lyon are bottom with four points.

Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Wolfsburg, PSV Eindhoven, Atletico Madrid, Benfica, Manchester City, Juventus, Barcelona, Roma, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Chelsea, Dynamo Kyiv, Zenit St. Petersburg and Gent have become the last 16 of the Champions League.

Among them, Real Madrid, Wolfsburg, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Chelsea and Zenit St. Petersburg are the group winners, and Atletico Madrid will certainly not be able to compete in the Champions League quarterfinals.

In this case, it is certainly impossible for Atletico Madrid and Benfica to meet in the quarterfinals. As for the situation with the Football Association, there are no other Spanish teams in the second group, so there is no need to think about this.

In addition to Benfica's remaining group runners-up, Atletico Madrid could all face.

Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Arsenal are the three strongest teams in the second group, and Atletico Madrid certainly don't want to meet them.

The weakest group runner-up is Gent, which is probably the opponent that all group winners would like to face.

The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals next week is almost like buying a lottery ticket and waiting for the results.

Everyone was expecting to win the grand prize.

Except for Ghent.

As the "grand prize", they draw the same for everyone, and none of the sixteen groups are easy to mess with.
