The top 8 of the Champions League are all released.

There are not many upsets in the Champions League this season, except for Maritimo, which is a big dark horse, most of the other strong teams have successfully qualified.

The top 8 are: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus, Maritimo.

Fans all over the world, after reading this list, their first feeling is: Hey, why does it seem that a strange guy has been mixed in!

The draw ceremony was held in Zurich, Switzerland.

The guest invited by the draw was the former Manchester United striker, "dashing brother" Berbatov.

In the hands of the star, who is known for his graceful kicking and lack of movement, the top 8 matches are all fresh.

Real Madrid vs Juventus;

Barcelona vs Maritimo;

Bayern Munich vs Liverpool;

Manchester City vs Paris Saint-Germain.

In the eyes of conspiracy theorists, this is naturally another major incriminating evidence of UEFA's manipulation of the Champions League draw.

Real Madrid vs. Juventus, this is clearly for the ratings, a direct confrontation between Ronaldo's new and old clubs. Let's see if Ronaldo can kill the old owner to advance, or Real Madrid can prove "Whoneeds Ronaldo" in front of the world?!

This match was the most talked about contest, but the rest of the matches were also full of gimmicks.

Bayern against Liverpool, a repeat of the 2019 Champions League final!

Manchester City vs. Paris is a money duel between the two major oil tycoons of the United Arab Emirates and Qatar!

Only Barcelona vs Maritimo is less interesting in comparison.

These two teams, one is a declining aristocracy, and the other is a new youth army. Although both teams play very excitingly, and they also have stars that fans like to see, they still lack topicality compared to those battles where Mars collides with Earth.

However, hype is the nature of the media, and if you don't have a topic, you have to hype up a topic, and if you don't have traffic, you have to find a way to generate traffic for you.

The media should set up this match with a battle between old and new talents.

The old genius is naturally Messi, and the new talent is not referring to a certain person, but to Maritimo's young talent attack group.

This can't be helped, after all, "Mei Lao Liu" is a superstar at the quasi-king level, and in terms of honor, experience, strength and other aspects, it is not comparable to these young players under the age of 23.

Even Wang Zi, a young player with the strongest comprehensive ability in Maritimo's team, cannot be compared with Messi for the time being. If you compare hard, the only thing that does not fall behind is the value.

As he grows older, even if he is the king of plum balls, his value has fallen sharply, and Wang Zi is getting more and more expensive, and now he is the TOP3 of the world's players under the age of 23! In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he is Chinese and does not have the advantage of household registration, maybe he would be the most expensive player in this age group!

That's how cruel the world of football is. Lippi said, "Baggio is not worth much after the age of 30", and Messi's value plummeted significantly when he reached 35+, and it was not easy.

The most difficult beauty sighs in the twilight, and the hero is not allowed to see the white head!

However, back to the media hype of this game, Meiqiu King needs to organize with Wang Zibi, intersperse with Pan Xinyue, break through with Jorabi, and compare speed with Liu Yun in line with the principle of "those who can work harder......

A 35+ veteran, covered in iron and able to hit a few nails!

This is also a true portrayal between the two teams, Barcelona, which has created countless glories, under the leadership of Bartomeu, Wang Xiaoer's New Year is not as good as a year, in the Champions League, in addition to drinking "Seven Joys", it is to come to the Cup 82 years of Lafite, born from a division of kings, living into a material distribution center for feeding jokers.

On the other hand, although Maritimo is a newcomer to the Champions League, he plays mature and sophisticated, with the vigor and vitality of young people, but also does not lack rigor and discipline.

Gary Neville, who plays as a commentator for Sky Sports, commented that in this team, he sees the shadow of Manchester United's class of 92.

Danso and Aguilar are Neville brothers, Liu Yun's technical style is very similar to Ryan Giggs, Joao and Zhou Yong's central midfield is no weaker than Scholes and Bart's partner, and Pan Xinyue and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are both killers on the bench. As for the representative figures Wang Zi and Beckham, they are heartthrobs of their respective eras......

Once this view was put forward, it was widely recognized.

Perhaps, like Manchester United's Class of '92, the Salimo Malitimo Youth Army can go down in history.

Sir Alex Ferguson has been canonized, and it remains to be seen whether the young Gao Yuan can replicate Ferguson's footsteps or even surpass his predecessors.

The 14th final of the Champions League, the first leg was played at Camp Nou.

Barcelona, playing at home, fielded a 4-2-3-1 formation.

Goalkeeper: Neto

Defenders: Sergino Dest, Pique, Lenglet, Alba

Midfielders: De Jong, Butzks, Messi, Coutinho, Fati

Forward: Gleesmann

Maritimo fielded a 5-3-2 formation.

Goalkeeper: Niu Gensheng

Defenders: Aguilar, Qusay, Antonio, Wenjun, Danso

Midfielders: Joao, Zhou Yong, Ronaldo

Forwards: Wang Zi, Pan Xinyue

The intention of this lineup and style of play is obvious, defending and counter-attacking away from home. Less or no conceding the ball, the front court is dominated by speed and movement, and if you can steal, you can steal, and if you can't steal, it won't involve too much energy.

After the start of the game, it was also found that Maritimo did not play actively, the lineup retreated deeply, and did not press in the frontcourt, leading the fire to his own half.

How can there be half a point of the vigor and momentum of the youth army, it looks like a group of veterans with an average age of 30+ and about to retire are playing health football.

The Catalan commentator said sarcastically: "Many people compare Maritimo to Manchester United's Class of 92, but judging from the performance in the opening period, there is no trace of that legendary team. Maybe they usually look alike, but at Camp Nou, in front of Barcelona, they can only choose to retreat tremblingly! You know, this is Barcelona! ”

Gao Yuan on the sidelines couldn't hear the commentary, otherwise he would definitely scold: "This is strategy and tactics, you know a fart!"

The lofty team looks to be passive and passive, but it is deliberate.

Barcelona is a team with a distinct style, and since the days of Michels and Cruyff, their pass-and-control football has been unique in the world. TIKI-TAKA STYLE OF PLAY IS THEIR LABEL.

In the following decades, whether it is strong or weak, whether it is a dream, a dream, a dream, a dream, a

But success is also Xiao He, defeat is also Xiao He, this style of play is of course highly ornamental, and is talked about by fans all over the world. But it also restricts the development direction of the team, if you don't play pass control in Barcelona, it is the original sin, you don't need the opponent to play, and your fans have to scold the coach away.

However, football is not a law of physics, and the arrangement of the squad must be tailored to the time and situation, and there must be players who meet this style of play.

With the same tactics, Messi, Xavi, and Iniesta can be invincible and look down on Europe, but Messi, Dembele, and Coutinho can't do it and block everywhere.

If you face the peak dream three, it is self-defeating to attract the opponent to your own half to play, Barcelona has many ways to tear up your defense, but now Barcelona has long lost the sharpness of the year, passing is a passing control, but it is a false passing control, passing for the sake of passing.

Maritimo took the initiative to retreat, not only compressing the space, so that Barcelona's ball could not be passed, but also leaving plenty of space for himself to counterattack.

Punches are only more powerful when they are retracted and then punched out, and now Maritimo is clenched and ready to strike a one-punch knockout at the right moment.
