Although everyone is laughing and laughing.

But in fact, in the bottom of their hearts, most players want to draw an easy opponent.

After all, for most teams.

The draw will determine their future in the Champions League this season.

For example, CSKA Moscow.

They drew to Barcelona.

After the results of the draw appeared.

Barcelona's president, Russell, is smiling.

The officials of CSKA Moscow at the scene were mourned.

There is a huge gap in strength between CSKA Moscow and Barcelona.

This gap cannot be easily erased by mental strength such as fighting spirit, unless Barcelona makes a major mistake, it will be difficult for CSKA Moscow to pass this hurdle - especially in the Champions League, the knockout game is a two-legged home and away system, which is more forgiving than the single-game knockout system of the World Cup knockout game.

A mistake in one game can be made up for by a game.

So the probability of a strong team advancing is of course higher.

The rules for the draw for the last 16 of the Champions League are also simple.

First draw a group first.

Then put the opponents that the first team may meet in turn in a box.

Then let the lottery guests mess up and then draw a random one.

Looks random.

But in fact, there are often some "official matches" in the Champions League round of 16.

So many fans suspect that this lottery ceremony is actually a fool.

UEFA officials must have done it.

One of the most widely circulated speculations is:

These are small round balls with small slips of paper for each team.

Although the appearance is exactly the same.

But. There is a difference between hot and cold.

As long as the raffle player draws out a small ball that has been heated, it is good to go.

So.

UEFA will be able to control the draw for the round of 16.

Arsenal fans, for example, are deeply convinced that there must be a ghost in this draw.

And so.

After Barcelona drew CSKA Moscow.

The second group was drawn first.

It's Arsenal.

Suddenly.

All Arsenal fans were nervous.

"No Bayern, no Bayern, no Bayern."

In the prayers of Arsenal fans.

Arsenal's opponents were drawn.

When the raffle contestant opened the small note, the words FC Bayern Munich appeared in front of the camera.

At the lottery site, there were bursts of laughter.

Get.

Arsenal and Bayern are meeting again.

Three years of Barcelona, five years of Bayern's curse has not been broken

"Aha, hahahaha"

Meeting room in Malaga.

The players couldn't help but laugh out loud when they saw the result.

Ye Luo was also shaking his head.

Did Arsene Wenger have a holiday with Platini?

Why is it not Barcelona or Bayern every time, this luck is a little too bad.

on the web.

Arsenal fans were furious.

Because Arsenal has become a meme for Barcelona or Bayern.

"Damn, UEFA understands traffic!"

"In order to create a gimmick, UEFA doesn't even want to face!"

"With a one-in-seven probability of Nima, how can it be Bayern in one draw?"

"It's too grassy!"

This can't be blamed on the conspiracy theories of Arsenal fans, after all, whoever encounters such a sign has to scold their mother.

And Arsenal now has an obvious gap with Bayern, Barcelona and other teams.

After all, this is not the era of Arsenal who were unbeaten that year.

Arsenal's squad is no longer at the top of the Premier League.

Therefore, they are very lucky against Bayern.

The next group, when Zinedine Zidane drew a small round ball and opened it.

"Malaga!"

Suddenly.

On the Malaga side, the conference rooms that had been giggling were quiet.

CSKA Moscow has been pumped out.

So.

Isco was whispering: 'Basel! Basel'

But soon.

Málaga's opponent was drawn.

"Leon."

With the name appeared.

Many players in the locker room shook their heads regretfully.

It's not about how strong the team is.

It's among the teams that weren't drawn out of it.

Lyon is undoubtedly the strongest.

Ligue 1 giants Lyon are not yet completely weakened.

Before PSG was supported by a consortium in the Middle East.

Lyon are the number one club in Ligue 1.

They are the dominant team in nine consecutive Ligue 1 titles.

Although they have never touched the Champions League.

But their heritage as the No. 1 giants in Ligue 1 is here.

Lyon are also a team to be reckoned with.

After drawing out their opponents.

The players began to relax.

Subsequent sets of draws were also drawn.

And then, the media began to seriously analyze and predict.

For example, everyone thinks that Barcelona, Real Madrid, and Bayern have basically booked a place in the quarterfinals.

There is also a large part of the media that although Malaga performed well in the group stage, they may not be able to take advantage of Lyon.

And for the media in Spain.

They are basically focused on the three teams in Spain.

The Spanish media are unanimous.

Judging by the opponents of the three La Liga teams.

Real Madrid and Barcelona are very stable.

Especially Barcelona.

CSKA Moscow simply could not pose much of a threat to them.

Barcelona's signing in the Champions League has always been good.

Although Real Madrid's opponent is Leverkusen from the Bundesliga, there is a clear gap between Leverkusen's strength and Real Madrid.

Malaga vs. Lyon is a delicate group.

On paper, both teams look similar.

Lyon wins behind the Heritage.

Málaga have been in astonishing form this season, with Bayern Munich failing to beat them.

However, they have just been beaten by Real Gang in the league and their form seems to be in danger of slipping.

Just when the media was making all kinds of reports and discussions about the results of the draw.

Malaga have two games to play before the La Liga winter break.

They were away to Osasuna in the fifteenth round of the league and Miranda upon Ebro in the second leg of the Copa del Rey in the fourth round.

Málaga, who have just lost one game in the league, have 11 wins, two draws and one defeat after 14 league games, with 35 points, two points behind Real Madrid.

Real Madrid's form this season has been fantastic.

Their current record is 12 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss and 37 points. Their only defeat was against Malaga

In third place is Barcelona, who have actually only lost one game, and after 14 league games, Barcelona have a record of 10 wins, 3 draws, 1 defeat and 33 points.

After 14 rounds of league games, Málaga, Real Madrid and Barcelona are basically confirmed to be the first echelon of this season's championship group.

Because the next teams are all 100 million points apart.

The current fourth place in the standings, Valencia, 8 wins, 2 draws, 4 losses, 26 points.

Fifth place Levante, 8 wins, 1 draw, 5 losses, 25 points.

Sixth place Atletico Madrid, 7 wins, 2 draws, 5 losses, 24 points.

There are also Sevilla with 24 points and Espanyol with 23 points.

These are considered the second echelon.

Malaga ended their unbeaten run and lost to Real Sociedad in the 14th round, which may mean that their crazy form is starting to fall, but in fact, if you count from last season, from the thirteenth round of last season to the present, counting the Champions League, a total of 36 games, they have only lost three games! It's quite telling, is Malaga's form really starting to slip? Not really! ”

Before the game, some media made an analysis.

After the defeat to Real Sociedad, many Real Madrid and Barcelona fans are expecting Malaga's form to fall.

For the fans of the two super teams, they can accept that the other side wins the championship, after all, the strength of the other side is here, and the other side is not a shame for themselves to win the championship.

But if it's Malaga.

That's a little bit less acceptable.

Therefore, the fans of Real Madrid and Barcelona are actually on the same side when facing Malaga.

But their expectations were disappointed.

Away to Osasuna, who have been in good form this season, Malaga are without Ruud van Nistelrooy, Mathieson and Isco.

Still won 3-0.

Ye Luo scored a goal to increase his league goal tally to 21!

After 15 league games, 21 league goals have been scored.

Leading Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored 18 goals, and Messi, who scored 17 goals.

Yelo has a trend of winning the La Liga Golden Boot again this season.

And after this round of the league, Real Madrid lost.

They lost 2-1 away to Sevilla.

So.

Malaga regains the top spot.

And Barcelona behind him also took the opportunity to narrow the gap with Real Madrid to 1 point, and the gap between them and Malaga was only 2 points.

The competition for the top of the La Liga standings has become more intense.

“GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!!!”

"Ye Luo!! Twenty-fifth goal in the league!! Pretty!! Beautiful long-range shot, they lead Atletico Madrid by 1 goal away from home!! ”

January 29, 2012.

La Liga Round 19!

The final round of the league in the first half of the competition.

Malaga take on Atletico Madrid away from home!

With this win, Malaga won five consecutive league games and won the La Liga halfway title for the first time ever!!

After the victory over Osasuna in the fifteenth round.

Malaga first eliminated Miranda sur Ebro and Racing de Santander in the Copa del Rey to reach the last eight, but they were eliminated by Real Madrid in the last eight legs, 2-2 at home and 1-1 away, with Real Madrid knocking out Malaga on away goals.

Although Yelo was disappointed with this result, Pellegrini was a little relieved while regretting it.

Otherwise, he kept letting Ye Luo kick like this, and he himself would be panicking.

The Copa del Rey was eliminated though.

But Malaga is on the top of the league!

Málaga won away against Valencia in the 16th round of the league, at home to Sporting Gijón in the 17th round and at home to Granada in the 18th round.

After a wave of four consecutive wins, Malaga also consolidated their position at the top of the standings, but Real Madrid behind them also won a wave of consecutive victories and chased closely!

Before the start of the 19th round of the league.

Madrid's media are cheering on Atletico Madrid, hoping they can beat Malaga at home so that Real Madrid can overtake Malaga to win the half-time title.

Although the half-marathon winner will not get any championship trophies, it has a great symbolic meaning.

Over the past ten seasons.

The teams that won the halfway title have won the final La Liga title eight times.

It can be seen that this half-way championship is a great confidence boost for a team!

It's not a good game against Atletico Madrid.

The first half was a 0-0 draw.

In the second half, Atletico Madrid completely tightened their defense, making it very difficult for Málaga to attack.

Until the seventy-eighth minute of the game.

Yelo.

Only to finally help the team break the deadlock!!

"The half-way winner is beckoning to Malaga!"

On the commentary seat, the commentator Andres was chanting.
