Yes, the draw for the group stage of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League season is coming.

The UEFA Champions League play-offs were also underway at the time of the UEFA Super Cup final, with Arsenal eventually beating Udinese to qualify for the last 32 of the UEFA Champions League, while Bayern Munich and Benfica also reached the last 32 of the UEFA Champions League.

In this way, the top 32 of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League were all born, they are Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Valencia, Villarreal, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Napoli, Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Lyon, Marseille, Lille, Porto, Benfica, CSKA Moscow, Zenit St. Petersburg, Ajax, Shakhtar Donetsk, Olympiacos, Basel, Borisov, Dinamo Zagreb, Greeks Athletic, Plzeň, Genke, Galats Steel and Trabzonspor

Yes, that's the full list of the top 32.

The Premier League and La Liga are very strong, with four teams each advancing to the round of 32. Only three teams have qualified from Serie A, which also has four places, and Udinese were knocked out by Arsenal. All three teams in the Bundesliga, with only three places, have advanced to the round of 32. Then, Ligue 1 also had three teams advance to the round of 32.

Europe's top five leagues are really the best, and the UEFA Champions League is really their stage.

However, UEFA has also made a lot of changes in recent years, hoping that more teams in Europe will participate in the UEFA Champions League and expand the influence of this competition.

Now they've done a bit of it, and today there were a lot of small teams in the last 32 of the Champions League.

There are two teams in the Portuguese Premier League who have reached the group stage, only one team from the Eredivisie and two teams from the Russian Premier League. Then, the Ukrainian Premier League, the Greek Premier League, the Swiss Premier League, the Belarusian Premier League, the Croatian First League, the Cyprus First League, the Belgian Football First League, the Romanian First League, the Czech First League and the Turkish Super League each advanced to the round of 32.

Overall, the group stage of this season's UEFA Champions League is still very interesting.

Gu Zhen and the others are now at the scene of the lottery to participate in the lottery ceremony this time.

The 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League group draw rules have not changed much from the past, and there is still the principle of avoidance, that is, teams under the same FA cannot be drawn together, and then one team from each of the four brackets is drawn to form the same group.

Yes, at this time, the top 32 of the 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League season is divided into four grades, which are as follows:

Tier 1: Manchester United, Barcelona, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan

Second tier: AC Milan, Lyon, Shakhtar Donetsk, Valencia, Benfica, Villarreal, CSKA Moscow, Marseille

Tier 3: Zenit St. Petersburg, Ajax, Bayer Leverkusen, Olympiacos, Manchester City, Lille, Basel (Switzerland), Borisov (Belarus)

Pot 4: Porto, Naples, Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia), Applenicosia (Cyprus), Genke (Belgium), Plzeň (Czech Republic), Otrugalradi (Romania), Trabzonspor (Turkey)

As you can see from this bracket, the eight teams in the first tier are all super strong teams, and they used to have a proud historical record, and even these eight teams are the favorites to win the Champions League this season.

In the first tier, Barcelona will continue to be the favourites to win the tournament, and yes, they are even more popular than defending champions Borussia Dortmund.

Yes, that's right, the media reporters and fans are more convinced of Barcelona, they think that Barcelona lost last season more because of luck, their strength must be better than Dortmund, they are the biggest favorites to win the title.

The two teams behind Barcelona are Manchester United and Real Madrid.

These two teams are clearly ahead of Borussia Dortmund!

Yes, defending champions Borussia Dortmund are really unwelcome. Almost all the media believe that Dortmund's ability to reach the quarter-finals this season is considered a success.

Chelsea's results have been declining since Jose Mourinho's departure. And it has to do with their frequent manager changes, Chelsea's chairman Russian tycoon Roman Abramovich has ousted Mourinho because of his Champions League results, and now Chelsea's Champions League results are getting worse and worse, which seems ironic.

Chelsea's squad is getting older this season and many don't think they can win the title. However, if the previous teams have an accident, they can also win the championship.

Bayern Munich is in the predicament of renewal, and the introduction of talent in recent years is obviously not comparable to the past. Borussia Dortmund emerged in the Bundesliga, which was a big shock to Bayern Munich, and their main goal in the new season should still be in the league, he wants to regain the Bundesliga title.

Inter Milan are even more disappointing, with the departure of Samuel Eto'o and the possible departure of Sneijder, the strength of their team has dropped very much, and Mourinho's team of kings is about to fall apart. At this time, many people think that Mourinho left at the peak of his prime, and he was really very knowing.

Then there are Borussia Dortmund and Arsenal. It is clear that the outside world is more optimistic about Arsenal than Dortmund. Although Dortmund has Gu Zhen, having Gu Zhen is not omnipotent.

It is believed that Dortmund's ability to reach the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season is the success rate.

Speaking to the media, Klopp said: "Our Borussia Dortmund club has clearly only one task for the new season, and that is to defend the Champions League title. Our team has this strength, why do you think Gu Zhen will stay in the team? Obviously going for the UEFA Champions League title! ”

The media reporters were shocked, and they didn't expect this result to be like this.

Does Gu Zhenzhen think Dortmund can win the Champions League this season? That's hilarious, isn't it? Dortmund FC Kenben is impossible. If Gu Zhen transfers to Real Madrid, he really has a chance to win the Champions League.

Anyway, the outside world just doesn't look forward to the Dortmund team.

Naturally, the media reporters interviewed Gu Zhen at this time!

Gu Zhen said when he was interviewed by these media reporters: "In my opinion, the strength of our club is still very strong, we have retained the complete squad that won the championship last season, we have experience in winning the UEFA Champions League, and we will definitely win the championship in the new season, please rest assured!" ”

The media reporters were speechless, what the hell is this?

Do you think you're the only one with experience? The players at other clubs are much more experienced than you. If you look at the people of Barcelona, they have won so many Champions League titles, are they proud?

Look at you again, your tails are about to reach to the sky!

Gu Zhen also said: "Our club has prepared a lot of things for this season's UEFA Champions League title, and we are naturally confident that we can go to the end. Of course, we will also have difficulties. But with our experience we should be able to solve these problems very quickly, and this season's UEFA Champions League title has already been won by Borussia Dortmund! ”

The media reporters were too speechless, Gu Zhen had gone crazy.

Sure enough, it's young, the young guys are really unreliable, Gu Zhen didn't go to Real Madrid to scourge Real Madrid, the Real Madrid club really earned it.

At this time, media reporters and European bloggers. Color companies are not optimistic about Dortmund, no matter how Dortmund boasts, they just don't believe it.

At this time, no one should believe in them except for them Dortmund themselves, who believe in themselves!

The teams in Pot 2 are obviously a little bit lower than the previous Tier 2 teams, and the best of them should be AC Milan. But AC Milan's strength is really too bad for a first-tier team, and it should be unlikely that they will win the championship. But they're going to make a group of death, it's true.

Then there are the two Spanish teams, Valencia and Villarreal, which are also relatively strong teams. However, at this time, both teams have gone up most of the core players, and now there is no star flavor, and the strength has also dropped very much, and their goal should be to try to enter the knockout round.

The two teams in Ligue 1 are clearly spoilers, and maybe they can pull off some miracles.

Of course, the teams in the third tier are Manchester City, Bayer Leverkusen and Ajax, these three teams are really likely to cause the group of death, and many clubs want to avoid these three teams, after all, everyone wants to make the group stage easier, so that they can have more energy to focus on the league.

The strength of the other third-tier teams should not be very strong, and they can be regarded as opponents that other clubs want to meet.

The team that attracts the most attention is the fourth-tier team. There are two teams that everyone is watching. A team that won last season's Europa League, Porto, they have the strength, and it has been obvious in the just-concluded UEFA Super Cup, their strength is good. The second is Napoli, the strength of this team from Italy is really good, the owner of their club is very powerful, and the team is also very successful, it is known as the biggest dark horse in this season's Champions League, and they are very likely to win the championship.

Except for these two teams, the other teams are all experienced babies who give away points.

At this time, the goal is naturally to avoid Napoli and Porto in the fourth tier, Manchester City, Bayer Leverkusen and Ajax in the third tier, and AC Milan, Marseille and Lille in the second tier.

In that case, the draw will be the best.

Of course, at this time, the media reporters are all predicting what group of deaths, and this is what they are most concerned about. They believe there will definitely be a Group of Death this season, as there are strong teams in Pot 3 and 4.

When Gu Zhen faced the media reporters, he said: "Don't worry, we have the UEFA Champions League championship bonus, and we will definitely not enter the group of death." We're going to get a lot of money in Dortmund, just watch if you don't believe it. ”
