"Bloody Massacre, Bayern strongly responds to the doubts of the outside world! 》

"Bayern 8:1 Porto, breaking the record of the largest score difference in the Champions League quarter-knockout round! 》

"The Bundesliga giants are unstoppable, and the Portuguese Super League squad is slaughtered! 》

"This is the real strength of Bayern Munich!" 》

……

After this round of the Champions League, the outside world was shocked by the exaggerated scores of Bayern and Porto.

This is the knockout stage of the Champions League, not the group stage of the Champions League!

In the group stage of the Champions League, there are some teams from some lower leagues, and there is a huge gap between their quality and the top giants, so they are often beaten out in the group stage.

But this is a knockout round, or a second round of knockouts.

Those weak teams have long been out, and the teams that were lucky enough to make it to the knockout round were also screened out in the first round of elimination.

It can be said that there is no weak team in the team that can enter the quarterfinals.

Although Porto are not teams from the top five leagues, they are also the hegemons of the Portuguese Super League, and they are still the first team in the last few Champions Leagues.

Their European points are more than enough to prove their quality, and this is definitely not a fish belly!

But even so, they were still beaten by Bayern with such a terrifying point difference, which made outsiders feel extremely jealous of Bayern's offensive strength.

How strong is the Bayern team under Heynckes in attack?

Can even the Champions League quarter-finalists be slaughtered like dogs?

Such a strong Bayern, coupled with the last champions Manchester City and La Liga.

This time, the gold content of the Champions League semi-finals is simply off the charts!

It can be said that these four teams are the four strongest teams in football today, and the fight between them is exciting just thinking about it!

Fans can't wait to watch the Champions League semi-finals!

However, before the semi-finals begin, the first thing to do is to draw lots to determine each other's opponents.

"Don't be responsible for predicting the semi-finals, Real Madrid vs Barcelona, Manchester City vs Bayern!"

"Brother Tai Gaojian, the La Liga civil war has always been hot, and it can attract a lot of attention.

And the match between Manchester City and Bayern is a battle for Guardiola's name, full of gimmicks, and these two games are top in terms of gimmicks and games! ”

"Considering the feud between Bayern and Barcelona, it is not ruled out that UEFA will arrange a match between them in the semi-finals."

"Yes, Barcelona is bent on revenge for being swept 7:0 by Bayern two years ago, if these two teams meet in the semifinals, it will definitely be a big battle between Mars and Earth!"

"Real Madrid were eliminated by Manchester City in the semi-finals last season, and they definitely want revenge, and if Manchester City and Real Madrid meet in the semi-finals, the game here will be just as exciting, and this arrangement is really good!"

"I think UEFA may take advantage of the feud between Lin Quan and Barcelona to arrange for Manchester City and Barcelona to meet in the semi-finals!"

"Barcelona have always wanted to bring Lin Quan and Pep Guardiola back to Camp Nou, and UEFA will make a little move to meet their request and let the father and son return as Manchester City coaches and players, this kind of plot will be liked by the audience, right?"

"Alas, it's really tangled, the strength of these four teams is between the best, whoever plays will be very exciting, it would be great if they could take turns to play!"

It is precisely because they are strong enough that the semifinals have not yet started, and they have already attracted the attention of countless fans.

On April 24, the much-anticipated draw for the semi-finals of the 2014-2015 UEFA Champions League took place at UEFA headquarters.

Pep Guardiola attended the draw ceremony with the club's president, Fahim, and before the ceremony began, he went to greet the coaches of several other teams.

However, he did not greet Heynckes, not because he did not respect Heynckes, but because he saw Bayern manager Hoeness, who was sitting next to Heynckes.

Guardiola hates Hoeness!

Just like last year, there are still two La Liga teams in this year's semi-finals.

However, last year it was a double in Madrid, and this year it has become a double in the Western Super League.

If Atletico hadn't met Real Madrid early, with Atletico Madrid's strength, it would have been possible to break into the top four, and in that case, it would have become the remaining team besieged by the three heroes of La Liga.

Since Pep Guardiola created a dream three dynasty at Barcelona, La Liga has been rising strongly.

First, Barcelona's pass-and-control football played all over Europe, and then the deeply stimulated Real Madrid's crazy arms ban, introducing Cristiano Ronaldo and other big-name stars to improve their strength.

Finally, dark horses like Atletico Madrid have sprung up and become spoilers.

La Liga teams are not only very strong in the Champions League, but also in the Europa League, especially Sevilla.

The team has won the Europa League for the third year in a row and is almost on the verge of contracting the trophy.

This has made many fans start to jokingly call the Europa League the Sevilla Cup!

However, although the La Liga duo are strong, they are not invincible.

The defending champion Manchester City eliminated Barcelona and Real Madrid in succession last year, and also defeated Atletico Madrid, which is also from La Liga, in the final, which can be said to have single-handedly brushed the La Liga copy.

As for Bayern, this old powerhouse has played against La Liga two giants a lot of times, and the two sides have won and lost each other, and Bayern has the advantage in recent years.

So in the end, I don't know who will win the championship.

At 12 o'clock, UEFA Secretary-General Gianni Infantino and former German international and final ambassador Riedel came out of the scene to start the draw.

Riddle pulled out Barcelona first, and the camera then focused on Barcelona's president, Bartomeu.

The latter moved his ass slightly, and subconsciously glanced at the area where the Manchester City representative was located.

The painful experience of being beaten by Manchester City home and away last year made Barcelona have some jealousy of Manchester City.

And now, there is not only Lin Quan in the Manchester City team, but also Guardiola, who knows Barcelona very well.

So for Barcelona, the last thing they want to meet is Manchester City.

Fortunately, Bartomeu's worries quickly disappeared, because the team that Infantino drew was not Manchester City, but their league rivals - Real Madrid!

After seeing this draw, there couldn't help but hear a burst of discussion at the scene.

La Liga national derby in the Champions League semi-finals?

UEFA really knows how to play!

There are only 4 teams in the semi-finals, and after the two teams are drawn, the remaining two teams do not need to be drawn anymore, and the situation of the game is already very clear.

The four teams in the semi-finals are Barcelona vs Real Madrid and Manchester City vs Bayern.

However, the team that is drawn first will be home and away in the schedule.

Such a schedule is a little unfavorable for the team, so even if the remaining two teams are already known, the draw process still has to be followed.

Bayern's manager Hoeness couldn't help but sit up straight, silently muttering in his heart:

Don't draw Bayern first, don't draw Bayern first!

The old coach Heynckes, who was sitting next to Hoeness, didn't care with a face, whether it was home first and then away, or away first and then home, it didn't matter for a real strong team.

If Bayern are strong enough, even if they are home and away, they will be able to completely crush their opponents in the first leg and kill the suspense of promotion, just as they have just slaughtered Porto 8-1 at home.

If they can win by three or even four goals at home, will they be able to turn the tables on the road?

On Manchester City's side, Fahim was also a little nervous, and drawing Bayern was not a good sign for Manchester City.

However, seeing Guardiola's immobile appearance, Fahim was also slightly relieved.

With Lin Quan and Pep Guardiola here, Manchester City don't need to fear anyone!

Riddle quickly pulled one out of the remaining two balls, opened it and saw that the name on it was - Manchester City!

Seeing this result, Hoeness breathed a sigh of relief.

Manchester City were drawn first, which means that Bayern will get the away and home fixtures.

This schedule is quite favorable for Bayern to qualify for the final, after all, as long as they are not slaughtered by Manchester City in the first game, then the decisive battle between the two sides will be played on Bayern's home turf.

With Bayern's horrific home record over the past few seasons, he doesn't think Manchester City can take advantage of the Allianz Arena!

Manchester City and Bayern Munich are scheduled for May 5 and May 12 respectively.

This time period is almost the final game of the last few rounds of the major leagues.

For Bayern, who are far ahead of the standings, they may not have to wait until then, they have already won the championship in advance.

But for Manchester City, they don't have any advantage in the standings, they have to fight one game at a time!

Therefore, when the semi-finals come, Bayern can concentrate all their energy on the Champions League, while Manchester City cannot.

There is also bad news for Manchester City.

This season's Champions League final will be played on June 6 at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin.

The favourable schedule, with the final being held in their own capital, has stimulated Bayern to put their best foot forward in the semi-finals in order to complete their dream of lifting the Big Ears Cup in their own country.

Therefore, if you draw Bayern, it is really better to draw Real Madrid and Barcelona!

……

After the draw for the Champions League semi-finals, Spinach quickly opened a new market.

In the civil war between the two giants in La Liga, Spinach is more optimistic about Barcelona.

After all, in the recent Spanish national derby, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid, and MSN showed its strength to overwhelm the BBC.

In the matchup between Manchester City and Bayern, Spinach is more optimistic about Bayern according to the schedule and recent match status.

After all, a one-line battle, a two-way battle, the state of the two sides in the Champions League is likely to be very different.

The views of the media and experts are similar to that of Spinach, and they also believe that Bayern, who won the championship early, will have an advantage.

"City's biggest problem right now is fitness and injuries, and how to allocate fitness to avoid injuries will determine how far they can go in the end!"

A celebrity said sharply.

……

On April 25, the 34th round of the Premier League began.

It seems to confirm the speculation of the outside world, Manchester City's form has clearly been affected by the two-front battle.

In the home game against Aston Villa, they led 2-0 in the first half thanks to goals from Lin Quan and Sergio Aguero.

But in the second half, especially after the 70th minute, the players began to decline due to a drop in fitness.

Aston Villa seized the opportunity to launch a counter-attack and at one point levelled the score.

When the opposing player scored the second goal to equalise in the 85th minute, the Etihad Stadium fell silent.

Blue Moon fans' eyes widened in disbelief.

What's wrong with your own team?

With such a big lead, can it still be equaled?

Pep Guardiola had a rare look of concern on his face, and if they were held to a draw in this game, they would be five points behind Chelsea.

With four league games remaining, a five-point advantage would all but guarantee Chelsea's title.

Luckily, in stoppage time, Van Dijk scored a crucial goal for Manchester City with a header from inside the box, helping them win 3-2!

After the game, Pep Guardiola took Van Dijk to the press conference and praised him without hesitation.

Since joining Manchester City, Van Dijk has gradually secured his main position at Manchester City and has been performing better and better.

Thanks to his outstanding performances at the club, he even caught the attention of the Dutch national team coach and was called up to the Dutch national team.

Knowing that the Manchester City people got the three points by luck, the Chelsea people waiting next door to open the champagne were depressed.

But it doesn't matter, as long as their home side can beat Arsene Wenger's Arsenal away from home, they can still keep Manchester City at the top.

However, when the match at the Emirates Stadium was over, the Chelsea fans fell silent at the sight of the glaring 0-0 scoreline on the scoreboard.

In the penultimate round of the league, they were held to a draw by the Gunners and dropped a crucial two points, which caused their lead in the table to shrink from three points to one!

With four league games remaining, Chelsea are just one point ahead and they have no room for error!

With just one more draw, they will probably lose the leader's position!

"It doesn't matter, the semi-finals of the Champions League are about to start, and the next Manchester City will go to White Hart Lane to challenge Tottenham, I don't believe they dare to fight Tottenham on the road!"

"That's right, they will play Tottenham on May 3, they will meet Bayern at home on May 6, if they consume too much on Tottenham, they will probably not be able to win Bayern at home!"

In the eyes of the Chelsea man, for Manchester City, who have already reached the last four, they will do everything in their power to defend their Champions League title.

This is a feat that no one has ever been able to accomplish since the Champions League was restructured.

If Manchester City can do it, then with two Champions League trophies and the achievement of successfully defending the title, they will be promoted to the giants without suspense and officially become a member of the BIG5 of the Premier League!

If it were them, they would definitely choose to fight for the Champions League, after all, even if Manchester City gave up the league, it would not affect their European places.
