The dust has settled in the quarterfinals of the Champions League, and eight teams have been released, but there is only one dark horse, that is, PSV Eindhoven in the Eredivisie, as the second-to-last team in the round of 16 to win the championship, they actually beat the Gunners Arsenal to reach the quarterfinals, which is really surprising.

However, even if PSV Eindhoven eliminated Arsenal, they are still the most underestimated team in the quarter-finals, which is enough to show how poor Arsenal are playing, and it is no wonder that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger even had the idea of resigning after the game.

If PSV Eindhoven is a big upset, then Valencia and Liverpool are a small upset.

After the draw for the quarter-finals, Liverpool and Valencia were the most underestimated, not because they were not strong, but because their opponents were too strong

Inter Milan is the leader of Serie A, leading with an unbeaten record, while Barcelona is the runner-up of the last Champions League, the European dream team, the biggest favorite to win the title, and compared to them, even Liverpool and Valencia have become weak teams. But the result makes people have to feel that football is round.

As for Bayern and Real Madrid, Lyon and Fiorentina, these four teams are of equal strength, and whoever knocks out who is normal depends on how good or bad they are on the spot.

After the quarter-finals, the most admired by the media was the goal shootout between Liverpool and Barcelona.

Before the game, people from all sides thought that it was a battle of spear and shield, and that any team could win by a small goal, but no one expected that the two teams would score 1o goals in the two games, becoming the most goals scored among the 16 teams.

The most shocking thing for the media and fans is that among the 1o goals scored by Barcelona and Liverpool, Chen Yu scored 5 goals alone, which directly made Chen Yu's goals reach U, and in one fell swoop from the bottom of the scorer list to the first scorer list, tied with AC Milan's Kaka.

After the game, Spain's "Daily Sports" regarded Chen Yu as Barcelona's nemesis, two consecutive times, it was Chen Yu who ruined Barcelona's dream of winning the Champions League, this kind of pain is unforgettable for Barcelona fans, Barcelona is now at its peak, like Barcelona This state and staffing do not know how many years can only appear once, this year they have shown a downward trend, after being eliminated by Liverpool, they don't know when they will be able to return to the top again.

Although Chen Yu left Serie A, but Italian football still has a heart of awe for him, "Milan Sports News" bluntly said that Liverpool can replace Barcelona as the biggest favorite to win the championship, because last season's Fiorentina foundation plus Chen Yu won the championship, this season Liverpool's foundation plus Chen Yu must be no problem.

Regarding the competition for the top scorer in the Champions League, "Milan Sports Newspaper" also did not care about Kaka's face at all, and bluntly said that everyone was optimistic about Kaka before, that was because Chen Yu did not play the best group stage with the best goals, and after Chen Yu tied the number of goals, Kaka had no chance.

England is more optimistic about their team, the Guardian believes that as long as the quarterfinals do not play the English civil war, it is not impossible for Liverpool, Manchester United, and Chelsea to reach the top four, and the other team that reaches the top four, the Guardian believes that AC Milan is more likely than Bayern, because Milan has been in better shape in the past two years, and Bayern is about to degenerate into a fishing line, the team has no stars and no big names, and the only German spirit seems to be far less than the original. As for the other three teams, they are basically playing soy sauce.

After the second leg of the quarterfinals, the eyes of the world were focused on the draw for the quarter-finals the following day.

Although before the draw, the bookmaker lined up the odds of winning the championship of 8 teams, the first is Chelsea, the second is Manchester United, the third is Liverpool, the fourth is Milan, the fifth Bayern, the sixth is the last champion Fiorentina, Valencia, Eindhoven are ranked seventh or eighth, but who is the real favorite, still needs to be drawn to decide, because if the favorites kill each other, maybe the latter teams will take some advantage.

On March 9, the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League, which attracted the attention of the world, was held in Athens, the capital of Greece, which was also the second time in the history of the Champions League that the draw was held in the final city.

According to the draw rules, there is no distinction between seeded and unseeded teams after the quarter-finals, and teams from the same country may also meet directly, which undoubtedly increases the watchability of the match. While Fiorentina and AC Milan are the only two teams in this year's quarter-finals, Chelsea, Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Manchester United are also very strong.

The draw was presided over by UEFA CPO1 Evantino, European Club Commission President Stickler and Greek OO 4 Euro Championship captain Zagorakis.

After the representatives and guests of the major clubs entered the venue, the new president of UEFA, Michel Platini, also came to the scene.

Then Tony took the stage on behalf of Fiorentina, the winner of last season's Champions League, but at this moment, everyone thinks of the former Fiorentina superstar Chen Yu, if Chen Yu does not transfer, everyone knows that it must be Chen Yu standing on the rostrum at this time.

Toni then handed over the Champions League trophy to the new UEFA president Michel Platini, who handed it over to the mayor of Athens, Kakramanis, and the "Big Eared Cup" will be on display in Athens until the final day.

Then a short video was introduced to the eight shortlisted teams on the big screen at the scene, and after the short film, the draw ceremony officially began.

At this moment, Liverpool players are also watching the draw ceremony on the big screen, because the quality of the signing is directly related to Liverpool's championship prospects.

"I think it's better for us to draw Valencia, we have a lot of experience playing La Liga." Gerald said.

"I think PSV Eindhoven is the best draw, we beat them in the group stage, they are the worst. ”

Alonso smiled: "If Eindhoven is drawn, Chen Yu can still meet his fellow countrymen." ”

Bellamy said: "Then it's better to draw Florence, I think without Chen, Florence is now a toothless tiger, I'm afraid it's not as good as Valencia."

Seeing that Chen Yu was just listening expressionlessly, Bellamy said: "Chen, which one do you think is the best, it must be Eindhoven or Florence." ”

Chen Yu has been reminiscing about the good times in Florence at the moment, and he is also thinking, what if he draws to Fiorentina, when he returns to the Frankie Stadium, he is greeted with applause or boos, and when he plays there, can he still swing at a normal level?

Bellamy looked at Chen Yu as if he was out of a wandering object, touched him, and said, "Hey, what do you want?" Q: Do you prefer Eindhoven or Fiorentina? ”

Chen Yu sighed, "Who do you like?" Ah of course Florence, no, Eindhoven. ”

The bad boy Bellamy smiled and patted Chen Yu on the shoulder, "I understand your feelings, when I returned to Newcastle to play, my feelings were also complicated, so it was better to draw Eindhoven." ”

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "Actually, it's the same for anyone who draws it, and you have to meet it anyway." ”

As he spoke, Zagorakis had already pulled out of AC Milan, and the TV showed a shot of the expressions of the representatives of the major clubs, and it seemed that everyone was nervous, and surely no one wanted to touch the five-time Champions League winner.

At this time, everyone's eyes are on UEFA CPO1 Evantino, depending on which team he draws.

Bayern Munich

Evantino drew Bayern, which means that the two kings of Serie A and Bundesliga will meet in the quarter-finals, except for the representatives of Bayern and Milan, everyone else looks relaxed.

Zagorakis' third draw is PSV Eindhoven, the bottom odds in the Champions League and the favourite, and everyone is hoping that Evantino will be able to draw his team, especially the Chinese fans, who are very eager to stage the Chinese derby in the quarter-finals so that they don't have to be distracted to watch the two games.

However, Evantino was drawn for Manchester United's PSV Eindhoven in the quarter-finals.

This made Manchester United's manager Sir Alex Alex Ferguson very happy, there is really no better opponent than this, and if Milan and Bayern Munich can win comfortably, then the rest of the game will be cheap enough. However, Sir Alex Ferguson was thinking that if Liverpool could be drawn with Chelsea later, then it would be perfect.

Fiorentina were drawn fifth by the Greek captain, and the Liverpudlians were nervous at this time, and if Evantino drew Valencia, then they would have to smash Chelsea. Although they are not afraid of Chelsea, it must be very difficult to play Mourinho's team, and even if they don't die, I'm afraid they will have to go to a layer of skin.

However, Liverpool had good luck, and Evantino pulled out Liverpool next, which means that Chen Yu, the hottest star in world football this season, will face his old club, defending champions Fiorentina.

Liverpool went to Athens not Benitez for the draw ceremony, but Rick Barry, who couldn't help but be happy to see that the opponent was Fiorentina.

Chen Yu's mood in the team's conference room was very complicated, although he could finally go back to Florence to have a look, but he wanted to compete with his original teammates and fight hard, which made Chen Yu feel more and more uncomfortable the more he thought about it.

Seeing that the opponent drawn was Liverpool, Fiorentina's head coach Prandelli sighed, there are five big clubs in the strong, Prandelli really doesn't dare to hope to draw Valencia and Eindhoven, he only hopes to draw a little worse among the five giants, as long as it is not Liverpool, Prandelli doesn't want to face a team with Chen Yu, but the more he is afraid of something, the more he comes, and finally he still meets Liverpool and Chen Yu.

With all six teams drawn, Chelsea and Valencia are left with no further draws, with the quarter-finals going head-to-head between the Blues and the Bats.

Mourinho is very happy with this result, although Valencia eliminated Inter Milan, the strength is the most powerful of the three soy sauce teams, but it is still incomparable with other giants, two consecutive years to meet Barcelona, this time as long as it is not Barcelona, Mourinho is much more comfortable.

This draw did not appear in the previous situation of strong dialogue, and the luck of the three British teams was not bad. Manchester United will play PSV Eindhoven, Liverpool will face Fiorentina and Chelsea will play Valencia; AC Milan and Bayern Munich were unlucky, as they were the only two of the big five that did not belong to the British, but they came together instead

Undoubtedly, the match between AC Milan and Bayern Munich will be the biggest attraction of the quarter-finals

After the quarter-finals draw, UEFA held another semi-final draw, with the winner of Liverpool and Fiorentina facing the winner between Chelsea and Valencia. The other semi-final will be the winner between AC Milan and Bayern Munich and the winner between Manchester United and PSV Eindhoven.

This season's UEFA Champions League 4 final leg will be played on April 4, with the second leg taking place a week later. The semi-final round will be played in April and the second leg in May. And the final will be played in May at the Athens Olympic Stadium, the Land of the Gods
