Revenge On China's Soccer World, World Cup Helps Fight C La

On March 17, the draw for the quarter-finals of the 2022-23 Champions League took place at UEFA headquarters.

According to UEFA rules, there are no seeded teams in the quarter-final draw, and there is no principle of avoiding teams from the same country or group.

At the same time, at the time of the quarterfinal draw, the semi-final match and the final home team are decided at the same time.

According to Italian regulations, AC Milan and Inter Milan cannot play home games on the same day, nor can they play consecutive home matches within 24 hours.

Former Bayern midfielder Altentop and former Milan striker Kluivert served as the draw guests.

The quarter-finals were drawn first, the semi-final matches, and the home team for the final.

Altenttop first pulled out Real Madrid and Kluivert then Chelsea.

After that, Inter were drawn together with Benfica, Manchester City with Bayern, Milan and Napoli.

In the semi-finals, the winner of Milan and Napoli will face the winner of Inter vs Benfica (Group 1).

The winner of Manchester City and Bayern will face the winner of Real Madrid and Chelsea (Group 2).

This means that Serie A almost locks in a place in the final, and the winner of the second group of semi-finals will be the home team in the final.

The first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals will be played on 11 and 12 April.

The second leg will be played on April 18 and 19, the first leg of the semi-finals on May 9 and 10, and the second leg on the 16th and 17th.

The final of the Champions League will be played on June 10.

When the results came out, the draw was quite exciting!

Bayern, the two favourites to win the title, met Manchester City early, and it was undoubtedly a final-level battle.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, faced another Premier League giant, Chelsea, and for the third year in a row, Real Madrid and Chelsea "did not get together".

It is worth mentioning that when Real Madrid fans learned that their team would face Chelsea, the attitude of Real Madrid fans could only be described in two words: ecstasy!

As for why they are ecstatic, of course, it is Chelsea's low (wrong) fans in the Premier League.

In addition to Yuqin's Premier League championship this season, Chelsea are also unique in the ranking of recruitment costs.

Chelsea have spent €611 million on signings this season (summer window + winter window).

Among them, the main signings are: Enzo-Fernandez 121 million euros, Fofana 80.4

million euros, Mudrick 70 million euros, Cucurella 65.3 million euros, Sterling 56.2 million euros, Badiasille 38 million euros;

Koulibaly 38 million euros, Madueké 35 million euros, Gusto 35 million euros, Chucuemeca 18 million euros;

Andrea Santos 12.5 million euros, David Fofana 12 million euros, Aubameyang 12 million euros and Felix 11 million euros on loan.

However, based on the current performance of Yuqin Portugal team-mate Felix at Chelsea, if the price is reasonable, Chelsea will definitely buy out the Portugal international.

The law that krypton gets stronger seems to be an exception for Chelsea, who are 10th in the league so far this season.

It's not hard to understand why Real Madrid fans are ecstatic to learn that their opponent in the quarter-finals is Chelsea.

What's more interesting is that the Champions League winners of the last three years have been stacked and they have been assigned to a semi-zone.

The top half of the three favourites Real Madrid, Bayern and Manchester City is full of "death".

Such a draw is a double-edged sword for the Premier League, and if both qualify in this round, it means that at least one team can reach the final final.

But it also means that Premier League teams may be "destroyed" in the 1/4 final.

Manchester City are the favourites to win the Champions League every season, but every time the dream wears out.

Manchester City reached the final in the 20-21 season, but was knocked out by Chelsea, also from the Premier League.

It was the closest Pep Guardiola's Manchester City came to the Big Ear Cup, but it was also the most frustrating.

Because Manchester City were in the Premier League that season, they were as many as 12 points ahead of second-placed Manchester United to win the Premier League title.

Chelsea were 19 points ahead of fourth-placed Chelsea, but the final Champions League final was won by a goal by Chelsea, who changed managers midway through the season.

In the quarter-finals of this season, Manchester City played a triumphant victory and eliminated Bundesliga powerhouse RB Leipzig by an 8-1 victory over two legs.

But after the draw ended, they faced Bundesliga bosses Bayern Munich.

If Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is the team AC Milan he doesn't want to meet, then the last team Pep Guardiola wants to meet is Bayern.

The reason is much worse than Ancelotti, 3 years of Bayern years, for the coach is not a good memory.

Bayern, who sincerely sought merit, went from "asking God" to "sending God", like people drinking water and knowing themselves.

This is Pep Guardiola's first encounter with his old club in an official match since he joined Manchester City.

At the same time, Bayern is also Manchester City's strongest opponent at the level of the Champions League this season.

And the old department that Gua Shuai carried and introduced in his hand is also withering away day by day, and when he meets Guardiola, the antagonistic mood has obviously long exceeded the memory.

It's no wonder that as soon as the draw was revealed, the former veteran Mueller posted a short video, and he was "very much looking forward to" the arrival of his opponent with a bad smile.

After all, Bayern, who had just eliminated another old man Lewandowski in the group stage, never showed mercy against the old man.

The extent of Guardiola's feelings towards his former owner may depend greatly on whether he is present or not.

But as Manchester City's top card, Haaland is destined to have a strong desire to perform against Bayern.

After all, when playing for Dort, the "Hornets", which were significantly inferior in strength, have been suppressed by Bayern.

This time to the new owner, the "Majin", who is leading the Champions League goalscorer list, obviously has no less.

For Bayern, who have suffered from strong opponents since the group stage this season, the draw to Manchester City is certainly a signing, but it is by no means a signing.

After all, the Bundesliga giants' biggest headache is always Real Madrid, and even if the two teams are destined to meet it, it will at least be the next round.

Although Bayern's advantage in the Bundesliga is not obvious, it is only 2 points ahead of 2nd place.

But at Champions League level, Bayern are a presence at another level.

In the group stage, Bayern won all 6 games, defeating La Liga leaders Barcelona and Inter Milan, the top eight of the Champions League.

With a clean sheet against Ligue 1 leaders Greater Paris over two legs in the quarterfinals, Bayern have been arrogant in the Champions League this season.

This round of the showdown is a big challenge for Manchester City.

But even if it gets past this round of knockouts, Manchester City will most likely encounter Real Madrid in the next round.

Because today's Chelsea are difficult to say stable, in the Champions League, Porter is an absolute rookie for the battle-hardened Carlo Ancelotti.

Playing Chelsea may not be able to beat Real Madrid, not to mention that Real Madrid also has a reversal bug bonus, and this group of matchups "Champions League king" Real Madrid is expected to successfully advance to the last four.
