A butterfly in the Amazon rainforest of South America, with an occasional flap of its wings, can cause a tornado in Texas, USA, two weeks later.

Any seemingly inconspicuous change has the potential to cause a huge ripple effect.

When the Champions League group draw was announced, everyone thought that Sporting was the belly of the group.

And as it turned out, they were really weak.

In the first four rounds of the Champions League group stage, they did not score a point and finished bottom of the group.

But it was in the last two rounds that they affected the group landscape.

In the penultimate round, Besiktas, who could qualify early as long as he won, was stopped by Sporting de Portugal.

A draw postponed the suspense of promotion.

And at this moment, it was also a draw, and they once again extinguished the heat that Dortmund were looking forward to qualifying.

After the last game, Borussia Dortmund were excited about the draw next door.

At the end of this game, Dortmund were silent about the draw.

The opportunity was in front of them, and they failed to take it.

After the last match, Dortmund fans even rushed to the official website of Sporting to pay their respects.

In their eyes, Sporting Portugal's victory over Besiktas is equivalent to directly submitting Dortmund to advance.

What a good brother!

Before this match, there weren't even a few Dortmund fans who thought their team couldn't win.

What they fear most is a conspiracy theory.

Borussia Dortmund fans are worried that Manchester United, who qualified early, could put water in this game to help Besiktas advance.

But in the end, Manchester United's tenacious fighting spirit even narrowly missed the Turkish team.

However, according to the final result, even if Besiktas loses, Dortmund will not be able to advance due to the lack of goal difference.

The reality is so cruel.

In the end, Besiktas successfully advanced as the second place in the group!

They were originally pressed and beaten by Manchester United and lost the victory, and they were in a very bad mood.

But when the whistle blew and the coaching staff on the sidelines were excited, they guessed the result.

At the end, the jersey exchange session was much easier and more enjoyable.

Although the second half of the game was abused, Talisca still did not dislike Xia Xing, and was even full of admiration, and stepped forward to exchange jerseys.

"Xia, you're such a great player."

'You were also very good in the first half, almost beating Manchester United at Old Trafford.

"But you still managed to make a comeback, especially your hat-trick, which was amazing, world-class."

"Thanks for the compliment."

"I heard that you have been trained by Huaguo Youth Training before, is this true?"

"Yes, yes."

"In other words, your football strength is mainly cultivated by Huaguo coaches?"

"Well, this, there's a reason."

"It's incredible, I've always been a little prejudiced against Chinese football before, and you gave me a new understanding."

"Why are you asking me about this?"

"It's nothing, it's just a little thing, it's not important."

"Oh well, I wish you all the best."

At this moment, Xia Xing couldn't have imagined that it was his words that made Talisca's career change some trajectory.

The next time we meet, things are already ......

This season's Champions League group stage has come to an end, and some people are happy and some are worried.

Group A was made out of Group A by Manchester United and Besiktas, with Borussia Dortmund unfortunately exiting.

And although Sporting failed to qualify, and even a win was hard to find, they also played their own style.

Especially the last two draws, which made the qualifying story of Group A so ups and downs.

There is also B Fee, who shined in the Champions League group stage this time and has already attracted many eyes from the top five leagues, and his time in Portugal is running out.

Group B qualified as everyone expected. Bayern and Paris Saint-Germain qualified together.

Celtic and Anderlecht even got only three points and still won each other.

As Group C, which is the group of death, the qualifying situation is more complicated.

Roma, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid battled it out after six rounds and did not settle the battle until the final game.

In the end, Roma beat Atletico Madrid and successfully stepped on the same tough opponent.

In the end, Chelsea and Roma joined hands to advance.

Group D was also unsuspenseful, with Juventus and Barcelona successfully qualifying.

Spartak Moscow and Olympiacos were powerless.

In Group E, Liverpool secured an early place in the qualifiers, while Sevilla stumbled and won Benfica in the final round to qualify.

The final qualification for Group F was beyond many expectations.

Manchester City were strong and qualified early. Napoli, who were also very competitive in the group, capsized. With four defeats in six games, their journey in this group stage can be described as quite a failure.

In the end, Shakhtar Donetsk won the second place in the group and successfully qualified.

Group G is the absolute group of death. Monaco, Basel, Porto, RB Leipzig, these four teams are of equal strength, whoever qualifies is reasonable, and every game is a tough match.

In the end, Basel and Porto fought their way out of the encirclement and successfully qualified.

There was no suspense in Group H, with Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur making it through, and the other two teams even managed to draw two games against each other.

At this point, the top 16 of the Champions League are freshly released!

Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Liverpool, Tottenham from the Premier League!

Real Madrid, Barcelona and Sevilla from La Liga!

Juventus and Roma from Serie A!

From Bayern in the Bundesliga!

Paris from Ligue 1!

Twelve teams are from the top five leagues, and four are from other countries.

Swiss giants Basel, Turkish Super League powerhouse Besiktas, Ukrainian powerhouse Shakhtar Donetsk, and Porto, the "European black shop" from Portugal.

In the round of 16 of the Champions League this time, the Premier League won hemp.

Because Manchester United won last season's Europa League, there is an extra place in the Premier League.

For the Premier League, as long as they enter the group stage of the Champions League, they are not far from qualifying.

The current Premier League is definitely the strongest team in Europe in terms of overall strength, and BIG6 has scored five directly.

The one with the less is a little awkward......

Compared to the full strength of the Premier League, the Bundesliga and Ligue 1 are embarrassing.

It is still a one-man show between Bayern and Paris, and the two teams have grabbed too many domestic resources, which has a great impact on the strength of other teams, and also has a lot of impact on the development of the domestic league.

La Liga and Serie A are still relatively normal, and those who should be promoted have basically been promoted.

And Atletico Madrid and Napoli have also been affected this season due to the team's reinforcements and injury problems, and their strength has been damaged.

Then it's time for all the attention.

The draw ceremony for the quarterfinals of the Champions League is about to begin!
