On the evening of December 11, the group stage of this season's Champions League was all over.

And the final 16 are also freshly released.

In Group A, Laco rode the dust, Manchester City went ashore in the last round, Grand Paris was eliminated and had no choice but to participate in the Europa League, and Leverkusen could only put all his energy back into the Bundesliga.

In Group B, Real Madrid and Juventus both advanced, and there was no suspense.

In Group C, Schalke 04 emerged and locked the place four rounds in advance. However, it would be unfair to say that, after all, they were the last eight teams in the Champions League last season, and their strength should not be underestimated. Olympiacos managed to finish second in the group with three consecutive home wins in the final stages.

In Group D, Bayern and Manchester United also had no suspense in qualifying, with the two teams neck and neck.

In Group E, Chelsea and Inter Milan were expected to advance, and the advantage between the two teams was obvious.

Group F, the most chaotic situation in this group qualification, especially when Arsenal is full of injuries, two consecutive defeats have given Shakhtar and Marseille a chance to qualify, in addition to Dortmund landed safely, Arsenal did not score six points in a row until the last two rounds, stepping on the shoulders of Shakhtar and Marseille to advance.

It is worth mentioning that the absences of Chen Tao and Wang Chuhe have made everyone see the current situation of Arsenal. If there is no Huaguo Three Musketeers, then Arsenal's strength will drop from the super-first-class to the level of the first-class.

In Group G, Atletico Madrid took the lead in advancing and qualified early, and the Portuguese Super League giants Porto also went all the way and won the second place in the group.

In Group H, Barcelona and AC Milan's road to qualification is smooth, and the two teams also have a record of one win and one loss, and they qualify together.

As a result, in this season's Champions League group stage, except for Porto and Olympiacos, the remaining 14 teams are all from the top five leagues.

This season's Champions League knockout round is full of gold!

Three days later, 16 teams gathered in Switzerland for the much-anticipated draw for the quarter-finals.

Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal from the Premier League.

La Liga semi-finals: Real Madrid, Barcelona, Atletico Madrid and Laco.

Serie A's three giants, Juventus and Milan.

Bundesliga powerhouses Bayern, Borussia Dortmund and Schalke.

There are also Porto and Olympiacos.

This time Ligue 1 is a complete tragedy, not a single team has entered the knockout round, and the French media, who were singing triumphant songs a few days ago, are now collectively wailing.

"The winter of French football is here ......"

The draw ceremony started on time.

No one cared about the opening remarks, and no one paid attention to the beautiful host, and after a boring half an hour or so, the lottery ceremony officially began.

Because the teams that are promoted this time are all the giants of their respective leagues, no matter which two teams meet, it will be a strong dialogue.

As time passed, the eight sets of matchups were finally revealed.

Real Madrid vs Inter Milan!

When Inter Milan fans saw the results of this draw, countless people were extremely emotional. Jose Mourinho, the decorated manager who led Inter Milan to the top of Europe a few seasons ago, is coming back!

Although he returned as an opponent, he will win the applause of the Meazza Stadium no matter what. But the applause can be given, but they will also aim to beat Real Madrid.

Bayern Munich vs Manchester City!

Before Manchester City's change of manager, Guardiola was once very close to them, but at the invitation of the Bundesliga overlord, Guardiola finally ruled the Bundesliga and missed the blue moon.

Whether this match is Pep Guardiola's proof of the perfect combination with Bayern, or Pellegrini proves that he is better suited to Manchester's climate than the other party, all fans, including the executives, will be waiting to see!

AC Milan vs Schalke 04!

This group of opponents is not particularly eye-catching, but it is different in the hearts of Chinese fans. AC Milan captain Zheng Zhi and Schalke 04 vice captain Hao Junmin, they also happen to be the vice captains of the Chinese national team!

This game is a battle for the captain of the Huaguo team! Both teams are giants with a long history in their respective leagues and are looking to return to the top, and this matchup will be equally interesting.

Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid!

The duel between Milan and Schalke can only be regarded as the captain's battle of the Chinese team, and this game can be regarded as a real Chinese derby. Because in the two teams of Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, there are a total of six Chinese players present!

As the defending champions, Arsenal achieved an unprecedented treble last season with the Chinese Three Musketeers; And Atletico Madrid, with Zhao Churi, brought in Wu Xi and Sun Ke this summer, and now the Sheets Army also has three Chinese players. And half a season has passed, Wu Xi and Sun Ke have gradually gained a foothold from substitute players at the beginning of the season, and have become important rotations, and their status is getting higher and higher.

According to UEFA predictions, the matchup between these two teams will be the most watched matchup in China.

Juventus vs Chelsea!

One is the quadruple winning team in 2012, and the other is the Premier League giants aiming to win the title, and the matchup between the two teams will also be very hot. It is worth mentioning that these two teams also have Chinese players competing.

Juventus has Yu Dabao and Wang Dalei in the team, and these two players have firmly occupied the main position. Wang Dalei's defense is becoming more and more solid, and Yu Dabao has scored 12 goals on various fronts this season, performing well.

Chelsea's new summer signings are in full swing, and his mentor-apprentice partnership with veteran John Terry has become a landscape in the Premier League, with the two complementing each other, one old and one young, one fast and one slow, and whether they can defend against Juve's attack will determine the qualifying situation.

Manchester United vs Porto! Barcelona vs Olympiacos!

The only two teams that are not in the top five leagues were drawn by Manchester United and Barcelona, and many people say that they are signed, but these two opponents are not weak, especially their home advantage is very obvious, and Manchester United and Barcelona must not be taken lightly.

Deportivo La Coruna vs Borussia Dortmund!

All draws are over, and only these two teams remain.

The two teams have not crossed paths much in history, especially in the Champions League, and have rarely met.

The only intersection is that Yunsheng once played against Dortmund during his coaching at Cartbus, and Dortmund Chairman Laubar has always had a good relationship with Yunsheng, and has invited Yunsheng to coach many times before. And it is rumored that the reason why Dortmund's current coach Klopp was able to join Dortmund also has a lot to do with Yunsheng's recommendation. And during Juve's tenure at Juventus, they also invited Dortmund to play friendly matches, and the relationship between the two teams was not bad.

Sixteen of the biggest teams are in the knockout stages of the Champions League, and after Arsenal won three in a row last season, countless giants are poised to do so this season.

Upstarts such as Chelsea, Atletico Madrid and Manchester City are looking to pull off miracles like Arsenal, while established teams like Real Sajen are hoping to return to the Champions League. All teams are ready to go to the top!

The 2013-2014 Champions League is destined to be bloody!
