Chapter 0550, the top sixteen have no weak brigades
December 7th.
Nyon, Switzerland.
The draw for the quarterfinals of the Champions League.
In the front row, several famous marshals are listed.
Mourinho and Pep Guardiola were meaningfully placed next to each other.
After taking their seats, both of them found it interesting.
Although they are-for-tat on the field, the two actually have a good personal relationship.
After all, during the Barcelona period, he used to be a good friend, and he didn't have a relationship.
It's just that for so many years, because of his position, he seems relatively unfamiliar in front of the media.
Both of them were in a good mood today.
"Jose, long time no see."
"Josep, don't make a fuss, we just met in the United States this summer, and we have played each other."
"Again, for people like us, a few months are fleeting."
"And we're going to meet again in a few days, the Manchester derby, I'm really looking forward to it."
'It's my turn to win the Premier League this season.'
"Forget it, when I leave Manchester United, when will it be your turn."
"Hehe, you clever guy."
"Let's not talk about the Premier League, what do you think of the quarterfinals of the Champions League this time?"
"Anyway, we can't be divided into a group, so it doesn't matter who we draw."
"Does it really matter? This time, the group is second with Real Madrid and Barcelona, and it will not be fun to meet them. ”
"Hey, speaking of which, it's really embarrassing to be in La Liga this time, the two leaders didn't even win the first place in the group, it's really laughing to death."
"Forget it, I still prefer them to win the group, I really don't want to touch them."
"It doesn't matter, I've touched it a lot before, I don't care."
Although they are bitter rivals on the sidelines, here, the two talk casually like friends they haven't seen for many years.
To be honest, the round of 16 of the Champions League this time is quite golden.
Of all the teams, there are almost no underdogs.
Besiktas and Basel, who look weaker on paper, have also played at the top level in the group stage.
Not to mention the teams in the big five leagues.
Over time, the results of the matchups will be revealed one by one!
Manchester United vs Barcelona!
Manchester City vs Basel!
Real Madrid vs Paris!
Bayern vs Besiktas!
Liverpool vs Porto!
Juventus vs Tottenham!
Sevilla vs Chelsea!
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Roma!
During the course of the draw, there were constantly good deeds laughing.
For example, when Paris drew Real Madrid.
This time in the group stage, Paris was in good shape.
Their goal this year is still to win the Champions League, there is no doubt about it.
But I didn't expect to meet Real Madrid in the knockout round just after reaching out of the group stage.
Real Madrid, who fell to the second place in the group because of the distraction of the league, has become the source of Paris's desire to cry without tears.
Maybe the Ligue 1 giants' dream of winning the title will continue for some time......
Neymar, who joined Grand Paris, will once again face off against his old rival.
This time he didn't have Messi by his side, and as he wished, he could lead the team by himself.
If he can really eliminate Real Madrid and then finally win the championship, then he can definitely achieve his dream of matching Messi.
On Real Madrid's side, Cristiano Ronaldo is also looking forward to his Champions League defence journey.
Recently, Cristiano Ronaldo has been in full swing, and his form and performance have surpassed Messi, who is prone to injuries.
More championships will give him a greater advantage in the era of double pride.
The performances of the two leading superstars will determine the final promotion place to the greatest extent.
Countless fans are looking forward to it, this is definitely one of the two most anticipated matches of the Champions League quarter-finals!
And the protagonist of the other game is Manchester United.
When England legend Michael Owen opened the note and read out Manchester United's opponent team, the audience burst into laughter.
"Barcelona!"
Hahahaha!
This laughter has the meaning of schadenfreude, and it is not a big deal to watch the excitement.
Mourinho's expression was calm and he didn't seem to care about the result.
It doesn't matter, UEFA often creates some knockout focus, and that's normal.
He turned his head to look at Pep Guardiola.
"Man, you're the loudest laugher."
"Nothing, I'm happy for you."
"What is there to be happy about?"
"In the second of the eight groups, I personally think the worst one to play is Barcelona."
"Well, because you laid a good foundation back then, hehe."
"Jose, don't be so weird."
"I don't think it matters, anyway, my goal is to win the Champions League, no matter which team we are, we will meet on the road to the title, no matter who it is, just kill it, it doesn't matter."
"Courageous, you can."
"But don't worry, even if we play Barcelona, we won't relax in the Premier League."
"Can we still have a good chat......
Mourinho and Pep Guardiola were chatting, and it was clear that Mourinho didn't really care about the draw.
But Barcelona boss Ernesto Valverde was not so happy.
Ever since he was drawn to Manchester United, he has started to frown.
This opponent is not easy to deal with.
His opponent is not Manchester United, but Jose Mourinho.
Since taking charge of Athletic Bilbao in the summer of 2003, he has spent most of his coaching career in La Liga.
Jose Mourinho's Real Madrid, he has also played against more than once.
The strength of the madman, he is definitely quite clear.
Now he has joined Manchester United, where he is known for his unbeatability in the Europa League and Premier League last season.
This time the Champions League group stage also showed great dominance.
In his mind, the last opponent he wants to meet is Manchester United.
As a result, I really met it.
Now Barcelona has left Neymar, Dembele continues to be injured, and the team's attacking power is insufficient.
There are a lot of troubles in the league, and the Champions League will meet a strong rival Manchester United.
The thought of this gave Valverde a headache.
My first experience of coaching a giant club will not end in a short time, right......
Two heavyweight matchups that have attracted enough eyeballs.
There are also a lot of strong dialogues that follow.
Juventus vs Tottenham, Sevilla vs Chelsea.
This is a matchup between two groups from the five major leagues, which can be described as evenly matched, and there is not much difference in strength.
What is the end result, five or five open.
The four non-top five league teams have all faced strong opponents.
Bayern vs Besiktas.
Bayern, who had a lot of momentum in the group stage, drew Besiktas.
The whole of Bayern was quite happy with the result.
Well, it can be said that the quarterfinals are stable.
Liverpool vs Porto.
Although Porto is a well-known black shop, in front of Klopp, it is still not enough to see.
Although Liverpool has not been stable in the league this season, the occasional outbreak of attack power is still enough to deterrent.
Shakhtar Donetsk vs Roma.
Rome, which is aiming for revival, has also been drawn this time.
Although Shakhtar is not weak, at least it is better than many opponents, for Roma.
There is a good chance that Roma will advance.
Manchester City vs Basel.
There's not much to say about this set of matchups.
After the draw was announced, Pep Guardiola said to Mourinho: "There is no weak team in the round of 16, and everyone who is drawn is the same." ”
Mourinho just wanted to hehe.
"Could you please put away the smile on your face a little bit, and then tell me this, okay?" (End of chapter)
