The match at the Calderón Stadium ended 2-1. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Atletico Madrid won the last game of Group A of the Champions League group stage, and with 6 games, 5 wins and 1 draw, it was no doubt that they became the first in Group A.

In the other Group A game played at the same time, Manchester City beat Bayern Munich 2-0 at home to claim their only win in six group games.

It was with this victory that Manchester City overtook Napoli on points to finish third in the group and qualify for next year's Europa League.

Manchester City finished third in the group, and Napoli only suffered, with manager Walter Mazzalry saying after the game, "We got off to a good start but lost halfway through, and this Champions League group stage has taught us." It's hard to compare with the traditional European powerhouses in this area. ”

"I believe that next season, we will do better!"

Wout Mazzalhi's statement makes people think that Napoli is just a team that has suddenly risen in Serie A, and not a real traditional powerhouse.

Napoli are understandably so tough in Group A.

A lot of the media expressed understanding, but the protagonist always belongs to the winner.

In the 'war' between Napoli and Manchester City, Manchester City is the winner, although they did not reach the set goal, that is, to qualify from the group, but in the end there is no hope, they can only lower the goal, take a step back, it is actually not bad to be able to participate in next year's Europa League, as the manager of Manchester City, after confirming to be the third in the group, Mancini has much less pressure.

Perhaps another important reason is that the attention of the British media and even the world media is on the city's rival Manchester United.

Manchester United are eliminated!

If Manchester City's exit from the group stage is expected, then Manchester United's elimination is definitely "appalling", you must know that in the past 16 Champions League journeys, Manchester United has only been eliminated in the group stage twice; You know, 192 days ago, Manchester United was the runner-up in the Champions League; You know, the last time Manchester United played in a Europa League level was in the distant 1995-1996 season.

The Reds were eliminated in a bit of a shamble, and there was a lot of optimism in the United camp ahead of the trip to Basel, with Ashley Young, who was a savior in the final moments of the first leg, saying, "It's dangerous to think we only need a draw to progress." Nobody in this team thinks that way, we still have the initiative to qualify, and getting out of the group is of course our main goal, what we need to do is play well and win. ”

Manchester United did not play conservatively, but they were very inefficient.

Before the front line has made a contribution, the backyard started early, and conceding too early also put Manchester United into passivity.

Many Chinese netizens commented, "You can advance if you draw, but you can't qualify in the end, it seems that this is not the "patent" of the Chinese team." ”

In the end, Manchester United lost 1-2 to Basel of Switzerland, and was eliminated in the group stage of the Champions League, "It is somewhat ridiculous that Manchester United, which has reached the final three times in the last four Champions Leagues, has not even qualified from the group......"

In the analysis of the media, Manchester United's qualification situation is indeed good, as long as they draw away to Basel, they will definitely be able to enter the round of 16.

But the fact is that the camp full of injuries has made it difficult for coach Alex Ferguson to cook without rice, and Hernandez, Berbatov, Rafael, Fabio, Cleverley and Owen are all unable to play due to injuries.

Manchester United lost half of their team, and Basel's chance naturally came. Their performance was impressive, as if they were the Swiss Barcelona, and in the ninth minute, the unmarked Strehler opened the scoring with a volley, and Alexander Frei's goal in the 84th minute of the second half was a fatal blow.

Even if Phil Jones headed back a point for United in the last minute, it didn't help, and the result of the defeat was only to go home.

The post-match technical statistics showed that Manchester United had nearly 60 per cent possession throughout the game, but only six of their 22 shots on target, and some English media began to worry about the United after the game.

In the midst of ongoing game discussions, they also came up with a solution for Manchester United: to bring in a good striker.

Manchester Sport has put together a list of the world's top scorers for United to choose, with Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa and Falcao on the list, both of which are quite high in the rankings – Diego Costa at No. 2 and Falcao at No. 5.

At the top of the list is Arsenal goalscorer and captain Robin van Persie, who has become the heart of Arsenal over the course of a few seasons, just like Thierry Henry did.

Robin van Persie was the league's top scorer last season, helping Arsenal to 30 goals in 38 league games, with a terrifying efficiency.

Manchester Sport has suggested Manchester United buy Robin van Persie to solve the team's lack of attack.

There is also analysis of Diego Costa and Falcao in the report, the two strikers are undoubtedly very efficient, but they have not experienced the Premier League, whether they can adapt is the key question, and whether Atletico Madrid will sell the core goalscorer is also a difficult question to solve.

Another focus in the Champions League news is Lyon, and many media believe that Lyon is suspected of 'match-fixing'.

Compared with Manchester United's exit, the most incredible is Lyon, before the final round of Group D, Ajax led Lyon by 3 points, with the same home and away points, goals scored and goals conceded, the goal difference is 7 ahead of Lyon, and the qualification situation is very good.

But in the end, the Eredivisie champion was hacked!

Lyon's opponent in this round is Zagreb, and the score of the two teams is still 1:1 at the end of the first half. But a miracle happened in the second half, when Gomi scored a hat-trick in seven minutes, and Lyon chased six goals in a row in half an hour to recover the disadvantage in goal difference.

Ajax lost 0:3 to Real Madrid in the end, and Lyon surpassed Ajax by 2 points on goal difference.

Many professionals have analyzed the game between Lyon and Zagreb, and there are many doubts, for example, before Lyon scored the third goal, Zagreb kicked off in the center circle, and they deliberately passed back after the kick-off, and directly gave the ball to the central defender Vida, but Vida slipped unexpectedly, and the Lyon attacking player took advantage of the situation to launch an attack and Gomi scored the goal.

In addition, when Lyon scored the fifth goal, Zagreb's Vida winked at Gomi and raised his thumbs in approval.

Ajax, who was in the same group, was "out" due to Lyon's wild victory. Commenting on Lyon's wild victory, Ajax boss Frank de Boer said he found it strange after his assistant told him the situation, because normally a team of this level would not be able to score so many goals in a row in half an hour.

'UEFA should investigate what happened in Zagreb.' De Boer said.

After the Champions League group stage was all over, Wan Sheng was asked by reporters about the key issues.

The first is that Manchester City became third in the group, Napoli was eliminated, Wan Sheng said, "Manchester City is in third or not it has nothing to do with us, we only care about our own game. Although this game is meaningless for us, professional football requires competitive spirit and we have to work hard for every game! ”

Wan Sheng's speech was unanimously applauded.

So a reporter asked the hottest topic 'what do you think of the game in Lyon', Wan Sheng said, "I haven't watched the game, I don't have any opinions, everyone has doubts, but the point is, there is no evidence." I'm very much against professional football being doped with other things, but you shouldn't judge it until you don't know what you know. ”

In fact, many media hope that Wan Sheng will stand up and criticize UEFA in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, or definitely say that "there must be something wrong with the game", but Wan Sheng is not a fool, UEFA has an insider, these are clear to many people, and it is different to say it, not to mention, this matter has nothing to do with him at all, he will not be the most UEFA because of other people's affairs, not to mention, if Ajax wins the last round, Lyon will have no chance to qualify anyway.

This is also Ajax's own problem, not all Lyon's 'black ball'.

If they were in Group A, put Lyon in the place of Manchester City or Napoli, no matter how many goals they scored, they would not have had a chance of qualifying.

After that, Wan Sheng didn't say anything more.

However, the British media still insisted that Wan Sheng 'had feelings' for Manchester City, "Even if he sent a substitute lineup, Atletico Madrid did his best, and Mancini should thank Wan Sheng for his efforts to let Manchester City get the third ...... of the group"

The British media report made Manchester City fans feel more deeply about Wan Sheng.

But Wan Sheng didn't care, in fact, he didn't care about the outcome of the game at all, but was very satisfied with the team's good performance, and the next day, Wan Sheng and the club president Cerezo went to Nyon, Switzerland, to participate in the draw for the round of 16 of the Champions League.

The Champions League group stage is over, and the 16 teams that have qualified have been determined.

The top teams in the group were Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan, Benfica, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, Atletico Greece and Barcelona.

The second-place finishers in the group were Bayern Munich, CSKA Moscow, Basel, Lyon, Bayer Leverkusen, Marseille, Zenit and AC Milan.

According to UEFA's draw rules, after entering the round of 16, the first team in the group will play against the second in the group, and the opponents in the same league and the previous group will be avoided, but the three teams in La Liga, Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have very gorgeous results, all of which are the first in the group, in other words, the eight teams in the second group, in addition to Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid are likely to meet.

Before entering the venue, a media reporter directly asked, "Which opponent do you want the team to meet?" ”

Wan Sheng shrugged his shoulders and looked unconcerned, "No matter which opponent we have, we will enter the quarterfinals!" ”

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, who was passing by, was walking over, and just when he heard this, he smiled wryly and said, "You are still so confident." ”

Wan Sheng waved to Arsene Wenger, "Congratulations on making it to the round of 16." ”

"I guess I'm going to congratulate you, right? Arsenal are regulars in the knockout stages of the Champions League. ”

"Maybe I should congratulate Arsenal on qualifying for the Champions League?"

“……”

Arsene Wenger rolled his eyes, but did not refute Wan Sheng's words, in fact, for Arsenal, it is indeed much more difficult to enter the Champions League than to enter the last 16 of the Champions League.

In recent years, the Premier League has grown and competition has become more and more fierce, and it has become increasingly difficult for Arsenal to finish in the top four.

Tottenham Hotspur, Everton and Newcastle United have all performed quite strongly this season, plus the traditional powerhouses Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, you can imagine how fierce the competition for the top few places in the Premier League is.

In this competitive environment, Arsenal are not sure that they will finish in the top four of the league.

So far, the Premier League has played 17 rounds, and Arsenal is only fourth in the league, which is not a few points more than Everton in fifth and Chelsea in sixth.

The two walked into the venue together, laughing.

When parting, Wan Sheng said another word of blessing, "I hope you don't touch AC Milan." ”

"I hope you won't run into it." Arsene Wenger replied.

Wan Sheng laughed. (To be continued.) )
