Chapter 379: Champions League round of 16 draw results

As time went on, there was more and more talk about the Ballon d'Or, and Messi became less and less favorable.

Messi has won four consecutive Ballon d'Or awards, three of which have caused controversy.

In 2010, it belonged to Inter, Mourinho led Inter to win the five crowns, and Sneijder also led the Netherlands to the World Cup runner-up that year, but the Golden Ball Award was still won by Messi.

In 2011, Barcelona did not score, but it still did not prevent Messi from winning the Ballon d'Or.

In 2012, Barcelona still had no results, but Messi was still recognized by voters and won the Ballon d'Or.

On the one hand, these three Ballon d'Or awards prove Messi's influence in world football, and on the other hand, they have also been criticized by the media and fans around the world.

Barcelona is still scoreless this year, and the media and fans are tired of winning the Ballon d'Or without the title in hand.

The names of Ronaldo and Li Chuanqi have been frequently talked about by the media, believing that one of the two of them should replace Messi as the new Ballon d'Or winner.

Under this strong stimulus, Li Chuanqi shined in La Liga and the Champions League.

Since we want to compete, we must come up with brilliant results and data.

A total of five La Liga matches were played in November, and Li Chuanqi led Atletico to a record of four wins and one draw, scoring a terrifying eleven goals in five games!

Atletico Madrid's biggest rival, Barcelona, has a record of four wins and one loss, biting Atletico Madrid, and is in second place with a one-point disadvantage.

Messi's form has improved, scoring six goals in five games, but there is still a certain gap with Li Chuanqi's eleven and Ronaldo's nine goals.

The group stage of the Champions League, with two rounds of matches played in November.

Atletico won both of their games to secure an early group winner, with Li Chuanqi netting a hat-trick in both games.

Cristiano Ronaldo also had a strong shelf performance, scoring five goals in two Champions League games, and Li Chuanqi ranked second in the scorer list.

Some media commented that the two of them are in such good shape because of the Golden Globe Award.

With Messi's sluggish performance, the two have become the biggest rivals for this year's Ballon d'Or.

According to the trend of public opinion, the three major gambling companies in Europe also began to adjust the odds, Ronaldo ranked first, 1:2.9, Li Chuanqi ranked second, 1:3.1, Ribery ranked third, 1:4.5, and Messi fell to fifth, 1:5.6.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

In terms of odds, Ronaldo is slightly ahead, but not much.

Time enters December, and the competition between Li Chuanqi and Ronaldo on the field is becoming more and more fierce.

The two competed fiercely in the Copa del Rey, La Liga, and the Champions League.

On December 12, the Champions League group stage was completed, and 16 teams entered the knockout stage.

Group A, Manchester United, Bayer Leverkusen; Group B, Real Madrid, Galatasaray; Group C, Paris Saint-Germain, Olympiacos; Group D, Bayern Munich, Manchester City; Group E, Chelsea, Schalke 04; Group F, Borussia Dortmund, Arsenal; Group G, Atletico Madrid, Zenit St. Petersburg; Group H, Barcelona, AC Milan.

On the 14th, the results of the Champions League draw were announced: Bayer Leverkusen vs Paris Saint-Germain; Manchester City vs Barcelona; Arsenal vs Bayern; AC Milan vs Atletico Madrid; Zenit St. Petersburg vs Borussia Dortmund; Olympiacos v Manchester United; Galatasaray v Chelsea; Schalke 04 vs Real Madrid!

The Ace newspaper analyzed the draw results for the first time: "There is no doubt that Manchester City vs Barcelona and Arsenal vs Bayern are absolutely strong conversations, and the atmosphere of death is very strong.

Manchester City is in the absolute best form this year compared to previous years, Barcelona is in a transition period, Manchester City has a good chance to focus more on the Champions League this year, but the experience is inferior to Barcelona, predicting this group of five to five.

Arsenal vs Bayern, last year's showdown is still vivid, this year's Bayern can be described as a devastating city, as the new defending universe team, there is no doubt about the strength, Arsenal due to the gradual deepening of the league, the state of the players and other considerations, will focus more on the league.

The chances of Bayern winning this group are definitely more than 70%.

Manchester United will definitely go to the next round if nothing else. But Manchester United's league results are really worrying, and Moyes will really be swept away if he plays both in the league and the Champions League this season.

AC Milan and Atletico Madrid, Atletico Madrid has a bigger chance of winning, under the leadership of Simeone, Atletico Madrid occupies the top of the La Liga standings, not to mention that there is also a Lee in the Atletico team who is going to compete for the Ballon d'Or.

For the Ballon d'Or, Lee will also do his best to lead Atletico to the quarterfinals.

Remember last year's Malaga against AC Milan, Lee scored a hat-trick in both legs.

For the Serie A giants, Lee is their bitter master.

Leverkusen and Paris Saint-Germain, Paris Saint-Germain will not be a bad sign, but Leverkusen will not admit defeat so easily, and of course Leverkusen can draw a big Paris.

Bayer Leverkusen could very well be a super-dark horse this year, just like last year's Malaga.

Paris Saint-Germain will be hoping to build on last year's highlights and take it to the next level.

Galatasaray against Chelsea and Jose Mourinho against Roberto Mancini were also highlights. Galatasaray can eliminate Juventus, this year's dark horse is full of color, of course, in terms of ability and strength, Chelsea is still sixty percent promoted.

Real Madrid has no problem with Schalke as Manchester United picking up a soft persimmon, and Real Madrid has no problem advancing to the quarterfinals.

Dort is a good signing, but they are almost guaranteed to advance to the quarterfinals, just like Manchester United and Real Madrid! ”

……

The knockout stages of the Champions League will be played in February next year, with Atletico focusing on the domestic arena.

On December 15, the 16th round of La Liga began, and the battle for the top spot between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid was in full swing.

Barcelona took the lead and continued to put pressure on Atletico with a 2-1 home win over Villarreal.

In this game, Neymar shined and scored twice to help Barcelona win the victory.

Messi is exempt from the game due to injury.

Surprisingly, Real Madrid failed to win away from home and were held to a 2-2 draw by Osasuna.

Insco became Real Madrid's biggest contributor in this game, and with his pass and shot, Real Madrid retreated from the Sardar Stadium.

In this game, Ronaldo was in average form, and only gave Yinsco one assist.

On the 16th, Atletico Madrid welcomed Valencia's challenge at home.

Simeone took this game very seriously, allowing Li Chuanqi and Costa to start together.

After 90 minutes of fierce battle, Atletico Madrid easily defeated their opponents at home with four goals from Li Chuanqi and Costa, and continued to lead Barcelona by one point to occupy the top position in the standings.

With two goals in this game, Costa surpassed Messi in the scorer list and climbed to third!

Atletico's two strikers, one in first place and the other in third, are terrifying in their attacking power.
