After the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League have been announced.

La Liga emerged as the biggest winner, with a total of three teams qualifying, namely Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

The Premier League is slightly worse than last year, with only Manchester City reaching the last eight of the three teams that qualified for the round of 16.

It's a similar story in Ligue 1, with Paris Saint-Germain emerging from Chelsea.

On the Serie A side, the old woman finally hardened up, and after defeating Juventus 5:1, she successfully broke into the quarterfinals.

Since Dortmund was hollowed out by Bayern, the competitiveness of the Bundesliga has plummeted, and only Bayern has successfully qualified in the Bundesliga this year.

Coupled with a Portuguese Super League side of Porto, this year's Champions League pattern is that the four major leagues are besieging La Liga.

I have to say that La Liga has been really strong in recent seasons.

If it weren't for Manchester City's successive elimination of Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid last year, the Champions League final would have turned into a La Liga civil war.

According to the Champions League draw rules, there will be no circumvention of the draw for the quarter-finals, and teams in the same league and teams in the same group may meet each other in a narrow way.

Atletico were unlucky, they were drawn first, and their opponents were city rivals Real Madrid.

Seeing this result, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti and Atletico Madrid's coach Simeone were nervous.

These two teams have played each other a lot in the league, and they both know each other well, and they both know each other badly.

If they could, they would rather switch opponents than face each other, because neither side is sure of this Madrid civil war.

As soon as the quarter-draw came up, the city derby was drawn, which made the audience feel very excited to see if there were any more popular matchups next.

Soon, Barcelona was drawn from the card pool by the lottery guests.

Seeing the name of Barcelona, the coaches of the other 5 remaining teams on the scene couldn't help but change color a little.

This year's Barcelona is much more fierce than last year!

In his second year with the team, Neymar has fully integrated into the team and his performances are getting better and better.

And Suarez, after returning from the ban, has become the sharpest spear in Barcelona's frontcourt.

He and Messi and Neymar formed an MSN combination, and God blocked and killed God in La Liga and the Champions League.

If anyone encounters such a Barcelona in the Champions League, how to limit MSN's attack may become their biggest headache!

After scanning the camera over the five coaches, the scene finally gave Manchester City's coach Pep Guardiola a close-up.

Before the draw ceremony, Barcelona fans released harsh words, hoping to draw Manchester City in the quarter-finals, so that they can avenge last year's kill.

And once Barcelona and Manchester City do draw together, it will be Guardiola's first return to Camp Nou after three years.

This time, though, he set foot at the Camp Nou as an opponent.

This close-up of the live broadcast made many people think that Barcelona would draw Manchester City, but surprisingly, the team drawn from the card pool by the lottery guests was not Manchester City, but another team controlled by Middle Eastern tycoons - Paris Saint-Germain!

The camera showed the coaches of both teams, and Barcelona coach Enrique smiled when he saw the draw results and seemed to think it was a good sign.

But Blanco, the head coach of Grand Paris, showed a bitter face, and he didn't want to draw Barcelona as the favorite to win the championship.

After Barcelona and Paris were paired, Manchester City were quickly drawn.

Now there are three teams left in the card pool, and except for Bayern Munich, the remaining two are not strong.

Considering Heynckes' previous statement, as well as Bayern fans' criticism of Guardiola.

The outside world feels that UEFA, which has always liked to arrange scripts, will definitely arrange these two teams together for the sake of topics and traffic.

However, everyone guessed wrong!

UEFA actually had a temperate exercise this time, and the opponent who was drawn out was not Bayern, but the old woman Juventus.

This result turned the managers of Juventus and Porto into bitter melons:

Hell, isn't it good for you two favorites to have a grudge game?

Why do you have to stagger it, in this way, eighty percent of our two teams will become cannon fodder!

In the end, the matchup in the quarterfinals is as follows:

Manchester City vs Juventus

Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid

Barcelona vs Grand Paris

Bayern vs Porto.

The expected summit showdown did not materialize, and the four favourites had a strong probability of reaching the semi-finals.

This year's quarter-finals may not be the most exciting, but the semi-finals will undoubtedly be very exciting!

According to the schedule, the quarterfinals of this season's Champions League will be played on April 14, about half a month away from now.

"Damn, what about the good showdown? Why not! ”

"That's right, Manchester City VS Real Madrid, Manchester City VS Barcelona, Manchester City VS Bayern, these matchups are arranged casually, so isn't the topic exploding? UEFA really won't be in trouble! ”

Fans complained about the results of this draw and felt that there was a lack of explosive points.

"Could it be because the manipulation of the lottery in previous years was too ruthless, and it was questioned by the outside world, and I didn't dare to do it this year?"

"Hehe, UEFA will still question in the unexpected world? You think of them too well! ”

Someone tried to make amends for UEFA, but they were ridiculed by everyone, and UEFA's reputation has long been stinky.

"But that's fine, at least the further back you look, the more exciting the game will be!"

"Indeed, I have already begun to look forward to the semi-finals of Real Madrid vs Barcelona and Manchester City vs Bayern!"

"Hehe, do you just look down on Juventus, Atletico Madrid and Grand Paris? What if it rolls over? ”

"Serie A is declining greatly, the strength of the old woman's squad does not seem to be very strong, they meet Manchester City, probably three seven open, Manchester City seven, old woman three!"

"Reasonable, I think it's even eighty-two open!"

"The match between Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid is not easy to guess, it is possible for these two teams to play any result, but from the perspective of the schedule, Real Madrid has an advantage, so I think this game should be 64, Real Madrid 6, Atletico 4!"

"What about Grand Paris and Barcelona?"

"It's also June Fourth, right? The lineup of Grand Paris looks quite strong, but I don't know how to play on the field! ”

"The back line of Grand Paris is extremely luxurious, worth more than 100 million, maybe it can freeze MSN's attack!"

"As for the game between Bayern and Porto, hehe, I don't think there is any need to guess, just open it with ten zeros, Porto will win if you don't concede 10 goals in two legs!"

"Is that an exaggeration? Is Bayern's attacking firepower stronger than Manchester City's? ”

"You just go and watch a few Bundesliga games!"

"Heynckes' Bayern is really terrifying!"

"You don't have to look at the Bundesliga, just look at the results of Bayern's elimination of Shakhtar Donetsk in the last round!"

Someone really went to see it, and after reading it, they were shocked.

Bayern have scored 12 goals in addition to a home and away double and a clean sheet.

The home team will be bloodied 7:0, and the away team will be bloodied again 5:0.

The poor miners, who were beaten and couldn't find the north, were about to stop playing.

"Our Manchester City signing is really good!"

In the Manchester City team, after watching the draw, the players felt that the draw was very good.

Juventus is a strong team, but not a top team.

And the away and home fixtures are also in Manchester City's favor, so the players are optimistic about progressing to the last four.

"Still can't be careless, the old woman's background is still very deep, such a big blow from the phone door, they can rise again, and in recent seasons they have begun to dominate the Serie A championship, and now they have won 3 consecutive championships."

In recent seasons, Juventus has dominated the league and gradually improved its record in the Champions League.

Their reach to the quarterfinals is proof of that!

Against such an upswinging team, even if Manchester City are stronger on paper, they can't be taken lightly.

If you are eliminated by an upset, it will be a lot of fun!

And unlike last year, Manchester City dominated the league last year and held a huge lead, so the focus can be on the Champions League.

But this year, they are still at the bottom of the table, and in this case, they will inevitably be distracted by the league.

On the other hand, Juventus have a very large lead in Serie A, while Chelsea have also been eliminated.

One of them can concentrate on playing in the Champions League, and the other can concentrate on chasing the title.

The situation does not seem to be as rosy for Manchester City as they had hoped.

Pep Guardiola clearly understands City's situation, so he has developed a consistent strategy for picking points in the league.

With nine league games remaining, they are just one point behind Chelsea.

All it takes is Chelsea's mistake and City's chance comes.

But there is a premise for this, and that is that Manchester City themselves cannot make mistakes!

If they lose again, then the championship will most likely be lost to them.

……

In the 30th round of the Premier League, Manchester City hosted West Bromwich Albion.

The suspense was lost just 2 minutes into the game.

The opposing defender tripped Lin Quan in the penalty area, and the referee gave him a red dot package.

Lin Quan made it in one fell swoop and scored the ball steadily.

West Bromwich Albion, who played one less player, played extremely passive throughout the game, and under the onslaught of Manchester City, he didn't even hold out until half time before disarming and surrendering.

David Silva, Kevin De Bruyne, Fernando and others scored one after another.

At the end of the first half, the score was already 4:0.

In the second half, Lin Quan and other main players clocked in the second half, and they were all put on the bench.

With the game scored, Pep Guardiola began to prepare for the Champions League and the rest of the league.

After a comfortable three points, Manchester City temporarily topped the table.

If Chelsea fail to win in another game later on, the top spot will change hands.

Under this huge pressure, the Chelsea players played very nervously.

Although they only opened for 2 minutes, they took the lead.

But the opposition then rallied to the occasion and scored twice in the 26th and 28th minutes that almost stopped the hearts of Chelsea fans.

Diego Costa stepped up at the crucial moment, and his goal in first-half stoppage time stabilized the team.

Chelsea laid siege for a long time in the second half and finally came back to the top in the 77th minute to win the victory.

Manchester City's players are also very concerned about this game, and many people are watching it live on TV at home.

They were all a little disappointed to see that Chelsea had won in the end.

"Chelsea's life is so hard!"

"Their luck is good, too!"

"Their luck can't be so good all the time!"

"That's right, let's do our job and wait for them to make mistakes!"

……

After the thirtieth round of league play, there is a FIFA international break before the next round of the league.

On March 28, Spain will host the challenge of the Ukrainian national team.

It's a qualifier for the European Championship.

Due to the strength of the opponents they met this time, they are Spain's main rivals in the group.

In order to ensure that he could win the opponent steadily and win the top spot in the group, Bosque called Lin Quan and other main forces.

Compared to last year's World Cup squad, the Spanish squad has undergone some changes.

Xavi Alonso, Xavi, Javi Martinez and others are not in the squad for the national team.

And the likes of Marc Baltra, Asenjo, Bertena, Juanmi and Vitolo were selected for the first time in the squad of the Spanish national team.

In addition, Morata, Isco and others, who had been selected before, are also in the team.

Clearly, Bosque has already started looking for a candidate for the next generation of the Bullfighter.

Almost all of these players who were recruited into the team for the first time were born in the 90s, and the youngest was only 21 years old, which is still very young.

However, the youngest player in the Spanish team is a veteran player - Lin Quan, who has just turned 19 years old.

"Boss, you finally appeared, I thought you weren't coming!"

As soon as Lin Quan entered the training base, he was caught by a tall guy.

You don't have to look at the other person's face, just by listening to the voice, you know that it must be that Morata didn't run.

It's just that he shows up on his own, the point is that he's accompanied by a group of young players.

"What are you doing in a daze, everyone come and worship the dock, this is our boss!"

"Boss!"

Under Isco's leadership, the five new recruits shouted in unison.

The movement they made made the players who were training on the training ground look sideways and became curious about what was going on here.

"Hehe, boss, our team is good!"

Morata didn't seem to notice Lin Quan's embarrassment, and stretched out his arm to put it on Lin Quan's shoulder, showing off triumphantly.

Behind the two, several newcomers followed behind their butts with a sense of junior consciousness and walked towards the training ground.

Seeing the inquiring glances of the veteran team members, Lin Quan felt that his cheeks were hot, and he couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into.

It's so embarrassing!

Morata, you kid wait for me!

When it comes to the Champions League next month, if you don't beat your out, you'll be clean!

Just when Lin Quan was extremely embarrassed, Bosque appeared.

"Lin, from now on, you are the vice captain of the team, and in addition, your jersey number has been changed to 10, remember not to wear it wrong!"

Yes?

Hearing Bosque's words, Lin Quan was stunned.

Isn't number 10 the number of Xiaofa?

He turned his head to look at Xiaofa, the other party seemed to know his doubts, and gave him a thumbs up with a smile.

Seeing the other party's reaction, Lin Quan understood.

This should be the No. 10 that Xiaofa took the initiative to concede!

After all, from the moment Bosque promoted him to vice-captain, he had already established his place in the Spanish team.

Now that Bosque is ready to build him into the core of the next generation of the Matador team, the number 10 shirt, which symbolizes the core of the team, will naturally be handed over to him.
