25. Champions League group stage draw

Originally, after this game, the round of 32 in this season's Champions League should have been produced. However, the match between AEK Athens and Sevilla was postponed due to the unexpected death of Sevilla's rising star Puerta. The match will be postponed for a week.

Therefore, now this season's UEFA Champions League has only produced the top 31, but the Champions League group draw ceremony cannot be postponed, so the Champions League group draw ceremony is rare for 33 managers to participate, and the managers of Sevilla and AEK Athens will participate in this draw ceremony.

Despite the weekend's fixtures, all four Premier League managers left their jobs behind to travel to Monaco Monte Carlo for the Champions League group stage draw.

Monte Carlo is a major international gambling city, but every year there are a lot of gamblers flock to Monte Carlo, where to chase money, fame and beauty......

However, Qiu Ze did not have such an opportunity, and now they have all stayed at Liverpool, under the leadership of the assistant coach, to prepare for the upcoming league campaign. Of course, on the day of the Champions League group draw, they all stayed at home and followed the Champions League group draw ceremony for this season.

At this time, Fernando 61 Torres was sitting in Qiu Ze's room, watching the draw ceremony for this season's Champions League group with Qiu Ze. After moving from Qiu Ze, this guy often ran to Qiu Ze and often came to visit the door.

"Hey! Chris! Who do you think we're going to draw? Fernando 61 Torres asked, snorting at the beer in his hand.

"It doesn't matter who it is, as long as we do our best, I believe that no one can stop us!" Qiu Ze good guy cow. Said with a bang.

"You're so confident?" Fernando 61 Torres asked as he looked sideways at Qiu Ze.

"Of course! If we don't have confidence ourselves, then do we still have to fight this game? Qiu Ze did not go to see Fernando 61 Torres, but stared at the video screen, he was looking forward to the draw ceremony.

After the Champions League round of 31 this season, UEFA divided these teams into four tiers.

Pot 1: AC Milan (Italy), Barcelona (Spain), Liverpool (England), Inter Milan (Italy), Arsenal (England), Real Madrid (Spain), Chelsea (England), Manchester United (England)

Pot 2: Valencia (Spain), Lyon (France), Porto (Portugal), Sevilla (Spain) / AEK Athens (Greece), PSV Eindhoven (Netherlands), Roma (Italy), Benfica (Portugal), Bremen (Germany)

Pot 3: Celtic (Scotland), Schalke 04 (Germany), Stuttgart (Germany), Bucharest (Romania), CSKA Moscow (Russia), Sporting Lisbon (Portugal), Lazio (Italy), Marseille (France)

Pot 4: Glasgow Rangers (Scotland), Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), Beśktas (Turkey), Olympiacos (Greece), Dynamo Kyiv (Ukraine), Fenerbahce (Turkey), Slavia Prague (Czech Republic), Rosenborg (Norway)

The Premier League teams have been very good in the recent Champions League, with all four of their teams in the first tier, which is a remarkable result. Chelsea, on the other hand, are in the first tier for the first time.

This made the media in England really happy, they were very excited, and this time they finally let out a big bad breath in front of their counterparts in other countries, and the media in England finally raised their eyebrows.

The approach of the English media made other media very unhappy, these guys from England are really too arrogant, a group of country boys who have not seen the world, and the reporters of other national teams have not been able to think of it sourly.

The draw for the Champions League was held at the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monte Carlo, Monaco, and was hosted by Pinto.

Ahead of the draw ceremony, Pinto explained the outcome of the match between Sevilla and AEK Athens. The current bracket is played by UEFA with a tacit 2-0 lead over AEK's Sevilla side in the first leg.

If Sevilla FC win against AEK Athens on aggregate, Sevilla FC will be the second-tier team. If Serbia loses to AEK Athens, then AEK Athens automatically becomes a band 3 team, while Celtic are promoted to band 2.

In other words, after the draw, if AEK Athens wins, then their group will have to swap places with Celtic, and that's it.

Then, the moderator, Pinto, gave a speech to the UEFA president, after the UEFA president's speech. UEFA Secretary General David 61 Taylor took the stage to ask all participants to observe a moment of silence in memory of Sevilla's superstar Puel.

Then, the host called out the guest of honor for the draw, the legendary goalkeeper of the former Soviet Union, Dasayev, and then the host announced the best goalkeeper in the UEFA Champions League last season, and the winner was Czech goalkeeper Peter 61 Cech from Chelsea in the English Premier League.

Immediately there was a scorching round of applause, in which Peter 61 Cech received the trophy and certificate of honor from Dasayev.

Then came the most tense moment, the first round of the Champions League group draw was about to begin, and the guest of honor in the draw was Dasayev. He will first draw all the teams in the first gear, and the anger on the scene is extremely tense at once.

UEFA divided the 32 teams into four brackets and drew lots based on the principle of "teams in the same league to avoid them", and the 32 teams will be divided into eight groups to compete in the group stage.

In fact, the first round of the draw was not too nervous, because this round of the draw was just in order, and it was not very nervous, so everyone was relatively normal.

The teams in Pot 1 were drawn first into each group, the defending champion AC Milan was first placed in Group D, the Gunners Arsenal, who had been in the Champions League for ten consecutive seasons, entered Group H, the Red Devils Manchester United were drawn into Group F, and the 06 champions Barcelona were in Group E; La Liga giants Real Madrid are in Group C, last season's Serie A champions Inter Milan are in Group G, 05 champions, Qiu Ze's Liverpool are in Group A, and Chelsea, who are seeded for the first time, are in Group D.

Then came the tense moment, first Pinto announced the winner of last season's Champions League best defender, he is AC Milan veteran Maldini, Maldini can win this award at such an age, it is really not easy, the scene resounded with very hot applause.

The next tense moment came, there were many powerful teams in the second gear, the head coach of the first gear team and the head coach of the second gear were nervous, and Fernando 61 Torres, who was watching the live broadcast with Qiu Ze at home, was nervous.

First of all, the first to be drawn was the recent Champions League underdogs PSV Eindhoven, who were drawn from Group G where Inter Milan are located. Suddenly, PSV Eindhoven's head coach turned grim as they were about to face the giants of Inter Milan. And the head coach of Inter Milan has a relaxed expression, it seems that they think it is a good sign at this time.

La Liga giants Valencia were drawn second and the Bats were drawn alongside last season's quarter-final rivals Chelsea in Group B. The Chelsea manager and the Valencia manager did not look very good, they thought that it was deliberately done by UEFA, it was just to add an attraction to the Champions League group stage, and they were very unhappy.

Bundesliga side Werder Bremen were the third to be drawn, taking on Real Madrid in Group C. Werder Bremen's expression is very serious, while Real Madrid's coach is relaxed, which is not bad for them.

The winner of Sevilla and AEK Athens moved on to Group H, with Arsenal seeded in this group. Arsene Wenger was satisfied with the fact that he didn't say anything.

Lyon are in Group E with Barcelona, while Benfica and AC Milan will face each other in Group D. Roma were drawn from the penultimate and they were in Group F, where Manchester United are located. Zuihou, a second-tier team, Porto, are in Group A and will face Liverpool.

Porto, this is a very strong team, but Liverpool did not react as if they could accept the result. But Qiu Ze was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect him to play against the Portuguese team so quickly.

In this way, the second-tier team has also finished drawing, and the tense anger on the scene is even stronger. However, at this time, Pinto used the award to relieve the tension and anger of the scene. Last season's Champions League midfielder of the year was Seedorf from AC Milan.

After Seedorf received the award, the nervousness came again, because the team in the third tier was to be drawn. There are a lot of powerful teams in the third tier, and all the managers on the scene are nervous.

Bundesliga side Schalke 04 were the first to be drawn and they were in Group B where Chelsea and Valencia were. At this time, the faces of the Chelsea and Valencia managers are pale, this UEFA is too dark, they want to make their group into a group of death, damn it.

Celtic side of the Soviet Super League were drawn second to be drawn and they were drawn in Group D where AC Milan and Benfica are located. After last season, Celtic and Benfica met again in the mini-game, and both managers had a somewhat strange expression.

Serie A giants Lazio were then drawn and they were placed in Group C, alongside Real Madrid and Bremen. This opponent should not be underestimated, and the managers of Real Madrid and Bremen are frowning.

The fourth to be drawn is Sporting Lisbon, Manchester United and Roma's F-group as their foothold, for which Manchester United fans are very disappointed, in fact, he would prefer Benfica to be in this group, they want revenge, but unfortunately, it is no longer possible for them now.

CSKA Moscow are in Group G, along with Inter Milan and PSV Eindhoven. Bundesliga champions Stuttgart are in Group E, where they face Barcelona and Lyon. The Bucharest Stars are in Group H, with Arsenal seeded in this group.

The rest of Zuihou's team is, of course, Marseille, Qiu Ze and others know their opponents, so far Liverpool is still a good sign, their opponents are not particularly strong, Liverpool's luck is good.

Pinto then began to present the award for last season's best striker in the Champions League, which was won by AC Milan star Kaka. Then it's time for the draw for the fourth-tier teams. There are no strong teams in the fourth tier, and at this time, teams like Liverpool don't really pay much attention, and it's the same for everyone.

Olympiacos were drawn first and they were drawn into Group C, where Real Madrid are located. Rangers were drawn second and they moved on to Group E for Barcelona. Dynamo Kyiv are in Group F where Manchester United and Roma are located, while Beśiktas are in Group A where Liverpool are. Rosenborg were drawn to Group B of Chelsea and Valencia. Shakhtar Donetsk of Ukraine are in Group D where defending champions AC Milan are located. Slavia Prague, who eliminated Ajax, are in Group H, where Arsenal are seeded. Turkey's Fenerbahce are in Group G, with Serie A giants Inter Milan seeded in this group.
