Perhaps it was too carried away, but after the Champions League game, Borussia Dortmund were held to a 0-0 draw away from home by third-from-bottom Augsburg. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Bayern Munich, on the other hand, beat Hoffenheim 7-1 at home.

However, judging by the huge points gap between the two teams, this small setback does not affect anything at all.

Now both teams are still nine points apart......

It was the next Champions League opponent that really had a huge impact on Dortmund.

They will meet in the quarter-finals...... Defending champions Barcelona!

This is not good news for Borussia Dortmund, who can be described as "in full swing" in today's European football.

In the Champions League final last season, they beat Manchester United by a landslide to claim their fourth Champions League trophy in the club's history.

Barcelona have won four Champions League titles since their inception, three of which have come since the turn of the millennium. It can be said that the first decade of the twenty-first century was the decade of Barcelona. In 2006, Rijkaard's Dream II team defeated Arsenal in the final and won the Champions League. In 2009, Pep Guardiola's Dream Three team defeated Manchester United 2:0 in the final. Not only did they win the Champions League that year, but they also won the first six crowns in European football - they won all the titles they could win that year!

Since then, Barcelona have dominated European football, and their dominance has even affected world football.

In the 2008 European Championship, the Spanish national team, based on Barcelona's tiki-taka football tactics, threw off the hat of "king of qualifiers" and won the European Championship in the European Cup.

In the summer of 2010, the Spanish national team, also based on Barcelona, won the Hercules Cup for the first time in history under the leadership of Bosque.

For a while, there was a "Barcelona whirlwind" in world football, everyone was talking about "tiki-taka", they were learning Barcelona's passing and controlling style of play, and the media took the trouble to introduce how advanced Barcelona's tactics are, and in the eyes of fanatical Barcelona fans, their football has become more than just football, and sublimated into a beautiful "work of art"!

In this context, if anyone dares to say that Barcelona football is lethargic to watch, then they have no basic aesthetics.

However, Barcelona's strength is indeed real, not the fans blowing it.

They are what almost all teams would not want to meet in the Champions League.

The result was met by Dortmund.

AC Milan fans must have a little chill in their hearts right now - let you knock us out!

Borussia Dortmund's encounter with Barcelona was the focus of media coverage.

Because with Barcelona's current strength, whoever runs into them is unlucky.

In the just-concluded quarterfinals, Bayer Leverkusen became such an unlucky egg. In the first leg, Bayer Leverkusen lost 1:3 to Barcelona at their home stadium.

This is still a normal score, with the strength of Leverkusen, even if they are at home, it is already very good to be able to play like this with Barcelona, after all, there is a goal, so as not to be shaved by Barcelona at home.

As for Bayer Leverkusen's first-round elimination, it doesn't really matter.

Everyone understands this.

But after the game, some media broke the news that in this game, Messi exchanged two jerseys for one game, because two Leverkusen players had infighting in order to grab Messi's jerseys, and Messi had to change one in the first half and another in the second half.

This is simply unacceptable for Bayer Leverkusen, who lost the game. On the one hand, the team lost at home and almost missed the Champions League quarterfinals, and on the other hand, when the fans were sad in the stands, two Bayer Leverkusen players competed for Messi's jersey, they did not seem to feel pain and shame about losing the game, in their eyes, Messi's jersey was the most important, more important than the team's victory.

Such a performance naturally attracted the media and fans to run and bombard.

Bayer Leverkusen's management also stepped in, and the two shirts were eventually repossessed by the club, and it was announced that they would be auctioned online, and the proceeds from the auction would be used for charity.

And Bayer Leverkusen also issued an internal ban on players from exchanging jerseys with Messi in the second leg.

This incident was considered by the media to be a "great shame" for Leverkusen FC.

However, when the second round was over, everyone found out that this was the real "shame"!

Bayer Leverkusen faced Barcelona away from home, but they were beaten 1:7 by Barcelona, and Messi scored five goals alone! Even if Bayer Leverkusen is unbearable, it won't lose so badly away from home, right?

After the game, Messi made headlines in almost all sports media around the world.

UEFA officials confirmed that Messi was the first player to score five goals in a game since the Champions League was restructured in 1992. He is the 11th player in the overall history of the Champions League to score five goals in a single game, and the first player to score five goals in 33 years.

The media exclaimed, "Scoring three goals in a game can be called a 'hat trick', and scoring four goals in a game is called a 'big four', so what should five goals in a game be called?"

In addition, Messi's 49 Champions League goals also equaled the number of Champions League goals scored by Real Madrid legend Di Stefano.

Some reporters said that Messi's performance simply made him afraid to write because he didn't know how to write it. He complained: "Reporting on Messi is the most distressing job in the world, because no matter how you write, it feels like there is nothing to say, it is all a routine." ”“...... I don't know how to praise Messi anymore because I've used up all the words I can think of to praise him!"

But who can ignore such a player who scored five goals in a single game, so even if they don't know how to write, reporters have to bite the bullet.

After Messi won five yuan, even the players expressed their admiration for Messi.

For example, "alien" Ronaldo even burst into foul language: "He played really well******

Rooney said that Messi's performance was like a joke.

More players say that Messi is the most version player in the video game......

The whole world seemed to bow at Messi's feet, touching his toes with their foreheads, expressing how they mere mortals felt when they saw the gods.

The German media also felt that it was unfortunate that Dortmund had drawn Barcelona.

Originally, they were counting on Borussia Dortmund to beat last season's results and go one step further to reach the last four of the Champions League.

Now it seems that Dortmund's Champions League road this season will come to an end.

It's a pity, but what else can be done about Barcelona?

When the Champions League opponents were announced, Zhou Yi was interviewed by reporters, and he was asked questions about Barcelona.

"Barcelona is strong. Zhou Yi told the truth as soon as he came up. "I don't think I need to repeat how strong they are, do I? But now that we're drawn together, we're going to have to be determined to fight them. There's not much to say about that. ”

"Some people say you have a similar style of play to Xavi. ”

'Xavi is an amazing player and it's an honour to be like him. Zhou Yi didn't emphasize that he was himself, Harvey was Harvey, and he didn't feel any shame in being similar to Harvey.

"Does this mean that your style of play is similar to Barcelona's style of football, and would you consider playing in Barcelona in the future?" asked a journalist from Barcelona with a Catalan accent in his German, which Zhou Yi had heard He Ying read Catalan with a textbook, so he was somewhat familiar.

He shook his head: "I won't answer that question when I'm about to play against Barcelona. ”

He knew what the Catalan journalist wanted – if he showed the same respect for Barcelona as he had done in the previous question, the journalist would probably have turned around and written that he wanted to join Barcelona. Doing so before the Champions League quarter-finals would have put him in trouble.

It would also shake Dortmund's morale. No matter how much he explains, it can't stop some people from thinking in their hearts, "Maybe Zhou Yi really wants to go to Barcelona, after all, who can refuse the call of a team like Barcelona?"

This kind of thing will definitely affect the team's preparation for the Champions League quarter-finals.

But the Catalan journalist didn't want to let go of the opportunity, so he asked: "So can we talk after the quarter-finals?"

Zhou Yi saw that the reporter was simply struggling and tirelessly trying to pull himself into the water, so he decided to take the initiative to end this boring hypothesis, and he smiled and said to the Catalan reporter: "I have already rejected Barcelona once, so I feel that I can completely refuse Barcelona again." ”
