With the results of entering the top 8 of the Champions League, QPR is no longer an upstart in the media.

When it comes to nouveau riche, the first place that comes to everyone's mind is Manchester City.

First, in July 07, former Thai Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra bought Manchester City, which opened the era of Manchester City's golden yuan football, and the team bought people aggressively, but Manchester City got nothing that season.

In '08, Thaksin left Manchester City due to political issues, and the Abu Dhabi Group moved in again.

The UAE tycoons spend hundreds of millions of pounds a year to buy Manchester City, but in the 08-09 season Manchester City only finished 10th in the league and 5th in the 09-10 season.

After 4 transfer windows, Manchester City finally had a little success in the 10-11 season, the FA Cup winner, the Champions League seat, and barely able to hand over to the local tyrant owner.

In the 11-12 and 12-13 seasons, Manchester City were eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League in two consecutive seasons.

All of the above are all boiled down to one sentence by the media: nouveau riche, no background.

QPR was initially dubbed the "nouveau riche", but last season's double league and FA Cup titles have already made everyone look forward to QPR.

And this season's entry into the top 8 in the Champions League makes everyone completely understand that QPR may have suddenly become rich, and may not have a glorious history. But QPR is by no means a superficial upstart, but a fighting and cohesive team.

After the Champions League match, QPR will face the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. Their opponents are Manchester City.

After all considerations, Ricardo instructed Simeone to abandon the match.

QPR, who played all of the youth team, lost 3-5 away to Manchester City, and the game was full of excitement, QPR led three times and tied it three times, and even briefly saw the hope of victory. It's just that in the end, it was inexperienced and unlucky, and finally lost.

The trident of Philippe Coutinho, Icardi and Raheem Sterling scored for the team respectively, giving QPR fans hope for the future of the team.

On March 17, in the 30th round of the Premier League, QPR challenged Aston Villa away. The two sides played 1-1 in the first half, and after entering the second half, QPR began to exert force, and Modric, who returned from injury, instigated two attacks to help the team win 3-1.

Manchester United beat Reading 1-0 and QPR are still two points ahead, while the goal difference is the same.

On 18 March, the draw for the quarter-finals and semi-finals of the Champions League took place at UEFA headquarters in Nyon.

UEFA Secretary-General Gianni Infantino and Competition Director Marchetti presided over the draw, with Ambassador McManaman, the organizer of the final, as guests.

Manchester United has been eliminated by Real Madrid, as the only seed in the Premier League to retain the Champions League, the draw of QPR has been followed by the entire British media, and everyone hopes that QPR can draw weaker opponents.

If there is no team in the top four of the Premier League, it will inevitably affect the Premier League's Champions League points and lead to a reduction in the number of Champions League seats in the Premier League in the future.

In addition to QPR, the remaining top eight teams are Barcelona, Real Madrid and Malaga from La Liga, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund from the Bundesliga, Juventus from Serie A and Paris Saint-Germain from Ligue 1.

The quarter-final draw is random, with no seeded teams and teams from the same league.

The British media hope that QPR can draw the weakest Malaga, and Paris Saint-Germain is not bad. If it really doesn't work, Dortmund, who has set off a storm of youth, will also die.

In the eyes of fans all over the world, one team after another was brought together.

Bayern Munich meets Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain meets Real Madrid. The weakest of them were lucky to be drawn by Borussia Dortmund.

And the opponent of QPR is......

Barcelona!

Cosmos Team Barcelona!

On April 2, QPR players will welcome Messi, Xavi, Iniesta and other superstars at the Loftus Road Stadium.

British media practitioners believe that QPR's promotion hope is infinitely close to zero.

Although Ricardo is a little bit better than Messi, Barcelona's overall strength is more than a little bit higher than that of QPR......

Moreover, Barcelona is the favorite in the Champions League every year, and QPR is only participating in the Champions League for the first time this year and playing the knockout round of the Champions League for the first time.

In terms of competition experience, QPR was also a complete defeat.

Even if QPR gets past Barcelona, they will face the winner between Bayern Munich and Juventus.

But Simeone doesn't think he's badly signed. "Winning Barcelona is a must-have. I didn't expect the team to reach the final or win the Champions League for the first time or anything, but having a team as strong as Barcelona allows us to learn from our opponents and that's very good for the future. ”

Luka Modric also said: "I've been looking forward to this day for a long time. Reaching the Champions League and meeting a team like Barcelona was my dream as a teenager. ”

Handanovic claimed: "In fact, there are no weak teams in the top 8 of the Champions League, we are just new teams in the Champions League, and whoever is drawn is a huge test for us." ”

The only one who spoke out differently was Ricardo.

In an interview, Ricardo sneered: "The game hasn't started yet, I don't know why you think we're lost." Is QPR inferior to Barcelona? We'll see if we're in the game. I don't think I'm going to lose to Messi. ”

The Barcelona players also shouted in the air, Messi said: "I respect Licardo a lot, but Barcelona can't tolerate failure. QPR may cause us some problems, but I'm sure the winner will be us. ”

Andres Iniesta said: "La Liga has become a lot more lonely without Ricardo, and although Cristiano is also a great star, his game lacks that feeling of passion. I still like to watch Messi and Licardo face each other. Regardless of the outcome of the game, I'm sure it's going to be two interesting games. ”

After a two-week international break, on March 30, QRP travelled to city rivals Fulham.

Previous national team matches have left QPR players a bit breathless, while injuries to players such as Luka Modric, Klose and Fernandinho have also cast a shadow over QPR's prospects. Simeone, despite a certain amount of rotation, still didn't solve the problem at the root.

In the first half, relying on the goals of Ricardo and De Bruyne, QPR led the opponent 2:1.

But after entering the second half, in order to save strength for the Champions League game, Simeone replaced Ricardo, which became the turning point of the game.

Fulham continued to push and finally scored two goals in the 81st and 87th minutes to achieve a comeback.

This is also the first time that QPR has been reversed by an opponent this season.

The disastrous QPR was once again overtaken by Manchester United, who beat Sunderland and now have 77 points. QPR is second with 76 points, and the goal difference between the two teams has reached two goals.

And the cosmos team Barcelona has boarded the plane.
