Chapter 0509, return to the stage of the Champions League!

Looking at Xia Xing in front of him, Maguire's face was full of sincerity.

What he just said was not a cliché or a lie.

It's from the heart.

Leaving Hull City, he had a number of options.

In England, this kind of top-class centre-back is scarce.

Quite a few teams have thrown an olive branch to Maguire.

But Maguire chose Leicester City in the end.

On the one hand, Leicester City guaranteed him a place in the main team.

On the other hand, Leicester City's five-time crown miracle has Maguire fascinated.

And the core representative of the miracle of the Five Crowns is Xia Xing.

In today's international football, no one dares to underestimate Xia Xing.

Even in the era of Ronaldo and Messi's peerless double pride, Xia Xing is also a unique existence.

The starting point of the Shuangjiao era was Kaka, and after him, the romance of Shuangjiao taking turns to win the Golden Ball was launched.

And now, Xia Xing has interrupted this balance.

Now the international football world is discussing, will Xia Xing be the star who will end the era of double pride?

Everyone will be waiting to see.

And just last season, Xia Xing once again led Manchester United to a revival.

The honour of the Quadruple brought Manchester United back to its glory.

All this made Maguire fascinated and threw himself into Xia Xing's admiration.

In the first engagement, Maguire did his best.

But even so, it still failed.

also heard Xia Xing praise himself, and Maguire was in a very good mood.

Looking at Xia Xingyuan's way away, Maguire suddenly had a trace of thought.

If I had the opportunity to play with him, I think it would be fun......

What the future holds, no one knows.

You can only try to do well in the moment.

The win over Leicester City gave United their third straight league win.

Total 9 points from 3 games, 10 goals scored, 1 goal not conceded.

That's a pretty pretty good start.

But even so, United still couldn't open the lead gap.

Manchester City also have nine points and 10 goals, but they have conceded three goals and are in second place.

Even so, such a result is definitely good.

Pep Guardiola's side have had a strong start to the league.

Manchester United will have a tough time defending their title this season.

Not only that, but United have an even more important European task ahead of them this season.

You must know that in the Champions League and Europa League, the intensity of the game and the strength of the opponent are not at all the same level.

On 26 August, Manchester United defeated Leicester City.

On August 29, Mourinho flew to UEFA headquarters in Zurich to participate in the draw for the Champions League group stage.

The result of this draw is important.

For Mourinho, they don't care who their group stage opponents face.

It's the same for everyone, it's all dry!

That's fine.

However, if you take into account the team's multi-front operation, I still expect to be able to draw a good draw.

After all, multi-front operations involve the problem of rotation, the league opponent is very strong, if the Champions League group stage opponent is also so strong, in the English League Cup, it is easy to collapse.

So Mourinho sat in the audience and was very concerned about the upcoming draw ceremony.

As one draw after another, the final result was finally clear.

For Manchester United, the signing was not particularly good......

As the top seeded player in the eight groups, Manchester United were the first to be drawn.

Last season's Premier League winner and Europa League winner's double buff stacked up, one was drawn, and there was a board.

Group A: Manchester United, Besiktas, Borussia Dortmund, Sporting de Portugal.

In this group, it seems that Manchester United do not have too strong opponents, but in fact it is not easy to play.

Dortmund, who were still crushed last season, their strength should not be underestimated.

As the champion of the Turkish Super League, Besiktas's strength is also the second-rate top level in Europe, and Manchester United needs to go all out.

There are many powerful players in the Portuguese sports team, and their strength is obviously greater than their fame.

This group stage journey is not easy for Manchester United.

Group B: Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain, Celtic, Anderlecht.

There is basically no suspense left in this group, with Bayern Munich and Paris expected to take the top two.

As last season's Bundesliga champions, Bayern Munich are still the top clubs in Europe, and their level is crushing.

Grand Paris was in a fluctuating form last season and was eventually snatched the league title by Monaco, but this season's "400 million" transfer makes them still a strong contender for the Champions League title.

Group C: Roma, Chelsea, Atletico Madrid, Qarabagh.

This group is a group of death!

Roma, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are all top giants and have a tough style of play.

Which two teams end up is reasonable.

Karabakh is shivering from the sidelines, and they have basically no chance of qualifying.

However, facing three giants in the group stage, their ticket revenue has also turned hemp, which is not bad.

Group D: Juventus, Barcelona, Spartak Moscow, Olympiacos.

Last season's Serie A champions Juventus lead the way, with La Liga giants Barcelona in the rankings who have shaken the continent, and the two teams can qualify together.

However, Moscow Sparta and Olympiacos are still not to be underestimated.

The biggest advantage of these two teams is their home fight, and if Juventus and Barcelona lose at their home stadium, it is really difficult to say how they will qualify.

Group E: Benfica, Liverpool, Sevilla, Maribor.

Benfica, last season's Portuguese Super League champions, were drawn as the top seed.

However, everyone is still more optimistic about Liverpool and Sevilla.

After all, the strength of these two giants is obviously stronger than the others, and even Benfica will find it extremely difficult to qualify.

Group F: Feyenoord, Manchester City, Shakhtar Donetsk, Napoli.

As last season's Eredivisie champions, Feyenoord was drawn as the top seed.

However, they are the least favored.

Manchester United and Napoli in the same group are both strong and have the best chance of qualifying.

Shakhtar Donetsk also have a number of world-class stars in the squad and there is a good chance of an emergence.

On the contrary, Feyenoord has a group of talented but inexperienced young players, and it is too difficult to qualify from the group.

Group G: Monaco, Basel, Porto, RB Leipzig.

If the definition of the Group of Death is the qualifying situation rather than the number of giants, then Group G is more like the Group of Death than Group C.

Ligue 1 champions Monaco lead the way, while Basel, Porto and RB Leipzig are all in good form.

Who of these four teams qualify is expected by fans.

Group H: Real Madrid, Tottenham Hotspur, CSKA Moscow, Atletico Greece.

The last group is obviously a two-man rotation between Real Madrid and Tottenham.

La Liga champions, Premier League powerhouses, the advantages of the two teams are obvious, and the qualifying situation is very stable.

CSKA Moscow competes against the Greeks, most likely as a running team.

32 European powerhouses gathered on the stage of this season's Champions League, who can finally reach the throne, everyone is looking forward to it! (End of chapter)
