On March 18 (this Friday), at 9: 00 Beijing time/KLOC-0, Nyon, Switzerland will usher in the much-anticipated draw for the Champions League and the quarter-finals of the European League. Barcelona, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Inter Milan, Donetsk Miner and Schalke 04 will fight each other in the Champions League quarter-finals. & gt& gt& gt Click to enter Netease Sports Champions League Top 8 draw live room.
According to UEFA's lottery principle, in the final of 1/4, "avoidance of the same country and the same group" will no longer be considered, and the whole lottery will be completely random, including the order of home and away games. In other words, in the quarter-finals, Manchester United may meet Chelsea or Tottenham in the same league, Barcelona may also meet Real Madrid, and Tottenham and Inter Milan, who met in the group stage, may meet again. Everything is done at will.
As for the specific schedule, the first round of the 1/4 final will be held on April 5 and 6, local time, and the second round will be held on April 12 and 13. The dates of the first leg of the semi-final are April 26th and 27th, and the second leg is May 3rd and 4th. The draw for the semi-finals will also be decided on Friday night. In addition, there will be a draw to decide who will be the imaginary home team in the final at Wembley Stadium in London on May 28th.
This quarter-finals has three characteristics: First, the Premier League La Liga continues to be strong, and the PK of the two major leagues has intensified after Arsenal's fiasco in Camp Nou. Three teams in the Premier League entered the quarter-finals, while Barcelona and Real Madrid in La Liga ranked in the top two in the odds list. The second feature is that the great powers have rewritten history. Tottenham returned to the Champions League after 48 years, but it has gone all the way to today. Donetsk miners reached the Champions League knockout for the first time, but also easily eliminated Rome for promotion; Real Madrid missed the quarterfinals for six years, and now finally broke the embarrassment under the leadership of Mourinho. The third feature is that the "Real Madrid Law" continues to take effect. The Bernabeu abandoned Van der Vaart and Raul to lead Tottenham and Schalke 04 to success, which made people stunned.
Although the Champions League has been played for half a year this season, I have to say that the real drama has just begun. In the quarter-finals, except for two miners, the other six teams are all crowded with stars, which means that there will be at least two bloody peak matchups in the final of 1/4. This lottery has also aroused people's appetite.
Aspect 1: Who will stop Barcelona?
The call to "defend the earth" has received the most extensive response this season, especially after Real Madrid lost 5-0 and Arsenal scored a goal in Camp Nou. Many fans can't tolerate the existence of such a standout team. The coaches of the other seven teams have mixed feelings. They all want to touch Barcelona, because the temptation to eliminate the "cosmic team" is too great; At the same time, they don't want to touch Barcelona, because in this case, the hope of advancing to the semi-finals will be one more point.
Manchester United and Inter Milan both eliminated Barcelona in the semi-final of the Champions League and won the championship, but both suffered a big decline this season. The most promising are two teams: Real Madrid and Chelsea. Although the former suffered a disastrous defeat in Camp Nou at the beginning of the season, under the leadership of Mourinho, this team has become more mature and stable. Mourinho led Chelsea and Inter Milan to eliminate Barcelona in the Champions League respectively. Will Real Madrid continue to be a madman? Chelsea's strength is the nemesis of Barcelona, Bosingwa is one of the few full-backs who rarely watch Messi die, and the Chelsea midfield partner with Essien can also make Harvey and Iniesta suffer a little. Don't forget Torres, he is one of the most feared strikers in Barcelona at present. In the past six games against Barcelona, Golden Boy scored six goals! Moreover, Chelsea people will never forget the "cheating" night at Stamford Bridge, and from then on, the "michel platini Theory" which has no clear relationship with Barcelona came into being.
Aspect 2: Real Madrid and Barcelona play four games in two weeks?
After meeting in Camp Nou in the first half of the season, the two teams will meet in the League 17 and the King's Cup final on April 20th. If the two teams are paired in the Champions League final of 1/4, they will meet once on April 5 or 6, and once again on April 12 or 13. /kloc-four Spanish national derbies in 0/5 days! This has been a crazy two weeks!
Aspect 3: Mourinho versus his old club?
Although he has changed jobs from four teams in four leagues, Mourinho has always had the habit of playing against his old club in the Champions League. In the 2004-05 season, he led Chelsea to face Porto in the group stage. As a result, he lost 3- 1 at home and 1-2 away when he locked in the first place in the group in advance. In the 2009- 10 season, he led Inter Milan against Chelsea, and as a result, Ancelotti's team was eliminated 3-/Kloc-0-0 in two rounds. This time, will he meet a new lover?
Aspect 4: UEFA suppresses the Premier League again?
In the 2007-08 season, Arsenal and Liverpool met in the final of14. In the 2008-09 season, Liverpool and Chelsea met in the final of14; In the 2009- 10 season, only two teams in the Premier League advanced to the quarter-finals, but Manchester United played Bayern and Arsenal played Barcelona in the 1/4 final. Will UEFA give people the feeling of blocking the Premier League again this season?
Aspect 5: "Real Madrid Law" continues to take effect?
Tottenham Hotspur and Schalke 04 are both weak teams in the quarter-finals, but because of Van der Vaart and Raul, their promotion path has become confusing. Who would have thought that Sneijder's Inter Milan eliminated Barcelona last season? But Icelandic volcanic ash helped the team abandoned by Real Madrid. And when Bayern survived at Old Trafford, who can deny that Robben was blessed by the goddess of fortune?
