Although they finished third in the Champions League group stage this season and failed to qualify for the knockout stages for the first time in nearly five seasons, Simeone's Atletico Madrid remains the toughest bone in European football today. With the exception of Real Madrid, who have restrained their aura in European competition, no other team would want to come up against a team that is not flashy, but whose discipline and tenacity are among the best in the world.

And Arsenal's label after Arsene Wenger took over is that it is a complete opposite to the Sheets, often able to play extremely beautiful attacks, but they are very fragile mentally, and they are easy to collapse when they encounter difficulties. This style of play is completely restrained by Atletico Madrid, even if the comparison between the two sides in football level should be five or five, but after counting their respective playing styles, the Gunners' actual winning chance may reach about 30%, no wonder the professor's face is so grim.

For Simeone, although the strongest of the three potential opponents is not a good sign, it is inevitable that he will not meet Arsenal in the semi-finals and reach the final. Given the uncertainty of a single game winner, the world-class coach would be willing to face a strong opponent from the Premier League in a more secure home-and-away format, so he should still be in a good mood at this time, even if others don't see any change in his zombie face at all.

Of course, the happiest people in the field now are undoubtedly Li Mudi and Marseille coach Rudy Garcia, regardless of the result of the semi-finals later, anyway, the confidence of the two people at this time to advance to the final can be called bursting. Although none of the teams that made it to the final four were soft persimmons, being able to avoid those two strong opponents proved that their luck was still very good, and adding some good luck to the strength of the team, both teams saw a great opportunity to return to the finals of this competition.

As mentioned earlier, Torino reached the final of the UEFA Cup, the predecessor of the Europa League, in the 1991-92 season under the leadership of the recently deceased coach Mondonico, but were beaten by Ajax in the two-legged meeting due to the lack of away goals, and missed out on the first continental title in the club's history. Marseille's fate on this stage is even more tragic, as they reached the UEFA Cup final twice in 1998-99 and 2003-04, but unfortunately lost to Parma and Valencia in quick succession.

But before they have a chance to qualify for Europe's second-biggest club cup after a decade or even decades, Marseille and Torino will need to beat each other in a life-and-death battle to achieve their dreams, with the two-legged fixtures scheduled for April 26 and May 4, when it will be another battle of dragons and tigers.

Because the three major European cups were not held during the Turin God team, and before the first restructuring in the mid-nineties, the Red Bulls' results were no longer able to participate in European competitions many times, so the two teams that have been established for more than 100 years have no record of directly playing each other in official occasions and cannot be used as a reference. However, Torino's only two performances against French teams can only be described as mediocre, and the 1 win and 1 draw against Nantes and the two games against Bastia naturally prove nothing. However, the failure to win both visits to France will make Marseille take their home advantage more seriously, and the first leg may be a decisive match for this matchup.

Marseille, on the other hand, have played against Italian teams a little more often, and the win-loss ratio is generally evenly matched. Although their last meeting with a Serie A side was four years ago and they were beaten twice by Napoli in the Champions League group stage, the victory over AC Milan on 26 May 1993 to win the only Big-Eared Cup to date gave the French powerhouse a natural confidence against the Italian side. This may be the reason why their director of football, former legendary Spanish goalkeeper Subisareta, would have a look of delight on his face in the moments following the draw results.

However, judging from the latest winning odds released by the bookmaker, the two sides are indeed on the same running line, and both are at the bottom of the top four with a figure of 5.75 to 1. The favourites remain with Atletico Madrid, who are almost half as much as Arsenal at 2.10, who are second seeds in the Europa League at 4.00.

Without waiting for a more in-depth discussion on whether the Gunners will be able to pass the Sheets Legion, and who will be the spoilers of this year's European competition, UEFA began to proceed with the draw for the Champions League semi-final matchups, and in less than two minutes, the result attracted the attention of hundreds of millions of fans around the world. The long-awaited European derby is back in action, with the rivals of Bayern Munich and Real Madrid meeting again in the non-finals, and the two teams have not faced each other in 24 previous matches, and the magical record continues.

Excluding the results of penalty shootouts, the two world's top football clubs have been tied in the 24 meetings they have met, with 11 wins, 2 draws and 11 defeats, and neither has been able to convince the other. However, considering that Real Madrid has won five consecutive victories against Bayern in recent years, and still has a certain upper hand overall, Putraguno and Zizou did not have any particular emotional fluctuations about the draw result. And Galeries Lafayette has already had a hunch before, everyone is mentally prepared, coupled with the momentum of the defending champion for two consecutive years, there is no fear of war or dissatisfaction.

The faces of the old fox Rummenigge, the team's athletic director Hassan Salihamidzic and the head coach Heynckes are also in a calm state, and it is difficult to find any clues from their faces, but this does not stop the reporters outside the stadium from starting to use their imagination to break the so-called "conspiracy theory".

Before the draw ceremony began, I don't know if it was because of the club's mistake or for some other reason, the official website of Rome actually opened the ticket sales for the second leg of the semi-finals at home in advance, and the opponent of the game happened to be Liverpool, and even the home and away order was exactly the same as the result of the draw, which had to make people have all kinds of infinite reverie. There have been many fans on the Internet who have joked about this matter before, but after the official match results appeared, all kinds of heated discussions overwhelmingly occupied the forums of AS Roma and UEFA websites, making the draw once again wear the label of "catty".

The bookmaker's later odds to win the title also caused a lot of discontent among Real Madrid fans, as the Galaxy became the top favourites at 2.87, Liverpool climbed from third before the draw to second place, tied with Bayern at 3.25, and Roma finished bottom of the four teams at 10.00.

This season's Champions League has given birth to a curse that the team with the top odds to win the title will be eliminated immediately, and Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City have both suffered the retribution of the hot death, and the Meilinger fear that this curse is now on their own teams. However, in an interview with reporters, Zizu expressed his confidence that he would reach the final for the third year in a row, and that his metaphysics may be the greatest weapon to break all feudal superstitions, although in the minds of Europeans, this kind of knowledge from the East is also a kind of witchcraft.

These two sets of duels also have a very interesting topic, that is, "fighting the old master". Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah, who helped Roma to finish runners-up in Serie A last season, joined Liverpool last summer for €37.8 million and became one of football's hottest superstars at Anfield, scoring 39 goals and providing 13 assists in 44 appearances. Not only has his value doubled in just a few months, but he has also become the third person in the eyes of the outside world after the two quasi-ball kings. This opportunity to revisit the old place will definitely attract the attention of many fans.

As for the personnel exchange between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, Colombian star James Rodriguez has voluntarily applied to leave the club after winning two consecutive Champions League titles due to the lack of regular playing time at the Bernabeu. After no team was able to pay enough transfer fees, he joined the Bundesliga giants on loan. The new season has also been impressive, scoring six goals and providing 12 assists in 31 games so far. However, unlike Salah's reunion with his old club after a peaceful breakup, I believe that Ronaldo has been holding back a force in his heart, saying that revenge may be a bit excessive, but at least let everyone see at the Bernabeu whether they are qualified to occupy a main position, so that those who have made mistakes before can get the lessons they deserve.

In addition, Toni Kroos is also facing his old boss and former teammates again, and his mood must be mixed, after all, more than half of the opponent's team is his old acquaintance or even good friend. To this day, his deal to join Real Madrid in the summer of 2014 is considered the most valuable player transfer in history, after the German midfielder suffered a serious torn leg ligament in 2013, Bayern Munich lowered his salary when negotiating a new contract with him, and was unwilling to grant him a commitment to the heart of the team, which led to Kroos, who arrived in Munich at the age of 16, to be distracted and eventually cheapened the Galaxy.

But Kroos, who has a more mature mentality and has to fight side by side with many Bayern players in the national team, obviously will not face his old club with any negative emotions, and his transfer can be regarded as a good reunion, and a few years have passed, so he will not be as angry as J Ronaldo, and overall it is still very peaceful.

And the one who is most calm in the face of the old owner is the old coach Heynckes, who is about to celebrate his 73rd birthday. Although he has only coached Real Madrid for one season, he can occupy a place in the more than 100-year history of La Liga giants just by leading the team to win the Champions League after 32 years.

Announcing his retirement at the end of the 2013 season and helping Bayern Munich to the Treble, Heynckes achieved arguably the most perfect curtain call in football, the envy of all coaches. However, last October, Carlo Ancelotti's dismissal made the veteran coach, who had been away from football for more than four years, choose to return to the mountain, which brought the Bundesliga hegemony back on track and laid the foundation for today's big drama. From the perspective of mentality, the old coach who has already achieved fame will naturally not feel even a little uncomfortable in the face of his old club, and he wishes to win the treble again in this firefighting coaching, in that case, he can really be a god.

Not to mention that the results of this draw spread through the Internet quickly set off a wave of heated discussions in European football, when all the participants of the clubs said goodbye to the stadium and prepared to return to the residence to prepare for the game, Li Mudi did not fly back to Italy with the two directors of Turin, but after being interviewed by several media outlets, he went to the street to buy some local gifts for the reason of traveling alone. Due to the proximity of the two cities of Nyon and Turin, the choice of transport is still very convenient, so Antonio Comey and Castellazzi did not object to the recklessness of the manager, giving the latter room to carry out his activities in secret.

The reason why Li Mudi secretly went to an inconspicuous hotel, as if he wanted to connect with a spy, was because the person he wanted to meet was the world-famous Marshal Arsene Wenger. In the case that the discipline of the news media is close to infinity, he does not dare to meet with the Arsenal manager in public, otherwise the news of various player transfers and even the change of the team's manager will not have to wait for tomorrow, and will immediately appear on the Internet, causing himself a lot of trouble.

The professor's personal state is a little poor, and it can be seen with the naked eye that his current mood is not too good, in addition to the unsatisfactory results of the draw just now, it is estimated that it is also related to the fact that fans have defected in recent times and proposed to let him go to class. At the time of 22 years after taking over the Gunners' coaching, the accolades but controversial coach finally ushered in the lowest point of his coaching career, even though he spent a lot of money in the last two seasons in the transfer window to get Lacazette, Mustafi, Xhaka, Aubameyang and other famous players, but the team's results have declined, and it is almost impossible to achieve the regular goal of "keeping four" this year, which has also become the fuse for fans to "dissuade from quitting".

However, the British media previously published an article, believing that Wenger's position is not as unstable as the outside world imagined, as long as the team does not undergo major changes, I believe that no one can shake the position of the champion coach who single-handedly created the miracle of Highbury. But today, in the face of Li Mudi, a friend who forgot about the year, the professor suddenly said that he would leave Arsenal at the end of the season, which shocked the Torino coach and did not know how to deal with the situation for a while.
