On the second day after the discussion, UEFA announced a series of reform measures, the most important of which is that starting from the 20 18-20 19 season, the top four teams in the four major leagues (La Liga, Premier League, Bundesliga and Serie A) will directly participate in the Champions League and no longer need to play in the Champions League. This policy is simply tailored for powerful people. Look carefully,
The new policy is put behind in advance, so let's get down to business and talk about this group in detail.
Group A: Paris Saint-Germain, Arsenal, Basel, Ludo Gorec.
Baricelli and Arsenal will join hands to advance to this group. Although Paris has repeatedly stopped in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in recent years, and the group stage has been smooth sailing, it needs to be considered that without Ibrahimovic this summer, cavani will become the spokesperson of the new generation of MISS, and the team needs more efficient strikers when facing the weak teams. If cavani wasted some chances in the face of Ludo Gorec, leading to a draw, it will directly affect whether the team can win the first place in the group and the Champions League group stage. I want to be the first in the group. To put it bluntly, I have a strong ability to abuse vegetables. If you win what you deserve, the first place will be basically stable. Of course, Arsenal also think so. The professor still has a lot of money to spend, and it is still unknown who he can buy in the end. Basel's strength is not bad. In recent years, there have been precedents for personally eliminating strong teams. However, considering that Paris and Arsenal are notoriously stable, it is unlikely that the Swiss team will be upset this time.
Group qualifying forecast, first: Paris second: Arsenal.
Group B: Benfica, Naples, Dynamo Kiev and Besiktas.
This is a group of people that many neutral fans like to see. There is little difference in strength between the two, but in terms of paper strength, Benfica and Naples are still better. Benfica reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League last year and was eventually eliminated by Bayern. But this summer, they lost Gaitan, and the "Manchester United star" finally left. I don't think it will have much impact on the team. Portuguese super clubs like Benfica have a strong self-renewal system and can continue to flow. Napoli lost top striker Higuain. At present, the striker only brought in Polish striker milic, but the latter did not perform well in the European Cup, wasting many opportunities. In the last few days of the transfer, Napoli, who holds 90 million yuan, should also bring in a striker, and the team's center and backcourt strength will improve steadily in the summer (provided that Coulibaly is not poached in the end). After this group came out, the Italian Football Association was probably a little excited. After all, Naples has often fallen into the death group in recent years. Besiktas and Dynamo Kiev are less likely to be upset this time, especially the former, who lost Gomez and suffered huge losses in tactical sense.
Group qualifying forecast, first: Naples second: Benfica.
Group C: Barcelona, Manchester City, Menxing and Celtic.
This group gives people the most direct feeling that it will always be you. Barcelona and Manchester City, Barcelona and Celtic have met several times in recent years, and many fans have claimed to vomit. The showdown between Barcelona and Manchester City is really worth pondering. Guardiola met Barcelona once after he left. 20 14-20 15 season champions league semi-final, defeated by Messi's last-minute outbreak after 80 minutes away. After Guardiola left, he still insisted on his philosophy of transmission and control, while Barcelona had a lot of counterattacks. If Guashuai can lead Manchester City this time, of course, there will be the drama of Bravo going home. The little lion and Bravo, who used to be substitutes for each other, will face each other in the Champions League. Of course, the overall strength of Barcelona is still stronger than that of Manchester City. At the end of August, Messi, Suarez and Neymar, who were far away from Brazil, all showed good performances. Manchester city, which is still in the running-in state, is no match for Barcelona. They may win a game against Barcelona, but they are not so sure about the remaining two teams. In other words, they will lose points. Finally, I still feel bad about Meng Xing. Last season, I was in the death group with Juventus, Manchester City and Seville, and then I entered the death group this season. Last season, their league performance was very poor at the beginning, and they lost the first two group matches. It was too late to try again later. This season, I'm afraid it's even harder to make efforts.
Group qualifying forecast, first: Barcelona, second: Manchester City.
Group D: Bayern, Atletico Madrid, Eindhoven and Rostov.
After this group came out, my first feeling was regret. From the perspective of promotion, this group had two champions League semi-finals last season. This summer, the two teams upgraded their lineup again, and it is very likely that they will join hands to qualify. 16 Eindhoven, a frequent visitor to the Champions League, didn't have such luck this time, but what I regret most is Rostov, the runner-up of the Russian Super League last season. Beating Ajax in the Champions League play-off once again made our eyes shine. However, if we are assigned to this group, even the dark horse will not advance. If they are divided into Group B, their influence on Naples and Benfica is still worth seeing. Unfortunately.
Group qualifying forecast: first, Bayern second: Atletico (by the way, why Bayern first, Atletico second, didn't Atletico win Bayern last season? Answer: The ability to abuse vegetables (as mentioned above, winning points is the king), Atletico Madrid belongs to the master who plays the team with 90 points and the team with 95 points, while Bayern is likely to play the team with 90 points and 100 points).
Group E: CSKA Moscow, Leverkusen, Tottenham Hotspur and Monaco.
After this group comes out, fans who haven't seen the scoring rules before will have this illusion. Who is the first gear and who is the fourth gear? Strength is too close. Judging from the book strength, Tottenham should be the first in this group, but it is indeed the team with the worst Champions League experience in this group (in recent years). Judging from the experience of the Champions League, CSKA Moscow should be the highest, and they can be seen almost every year, but the Russian super team is really miserable. Almost every year, it is divided into the death group composed of teams such as Bayern and Manchester City. Leverkusen ranked first in terms of record stability, while Monaco ranked first again in terms of the highest performance in recent years. In the 20 14-20 15 season, they eliminated Arsenal and entered the Champions League quarter-finals. This year, they can kill Villarreal, who is the first in the league at this stage, and advance. So it is normal for anyone in this group to qualify. Finally, I will boast that Leverkusen is the first group and Monaco is the second. The inexperienced Tottenham Hotspur will be dragged down by domestic competitions, ranking third.
Qualifying forecast, first: Leverkusen second: Monaco
Group F: Real Madrid, Dortmund, Sporting Lisbon, Warsaw Leguia.
This is another team with obvious strength. A few years ago, Dortmund and Real Madrid staged wonderful matchups one after another, but that was the era of klopp. There is still a big gap between the styles of Tuchel and klopp. It is unrealistic to want to see the big scene of Bumblebee vs. Galaxy battleship. Of course, the game between the two teams will still be wonderful, but that's something else. At present, the thickness of Real Madrid's lineup has reached the highest value in recent years, and even J Ronaldo and isco have lost their positions. Zidane and the team are currently in a straight line, and it is not a problem to qualify for the top spot. Dortmund lost some important players in the summer. Although they have made great moves in the transfer market, they can't shake the position of Real Madrid's first group.
Group qualifying forecast, first: Real Madrid second: Dortmund.
Group G: leicester city, Porto, Bruges, Copenhagen.
It is also a very close group. Leicester city is lucky to enter the Champions League for the first time. Of the two teams, Porto is not the strongest, and Bruges and Copenhagen are not the teams that can often enter the knockout round of 16, so this is a good opportunity for Fox City. If we can advance to the top 16, it will be a huge breakthrough. Of course, so do other teams.
Group qualifying forecast, first: Porto and second: leicester city.
Group H: Juventus, Seville, Lyon and Dynamo Zagreb.
Juve were assigned to an interesting group. Juventus have played for three opponents, namely Alves of Seville, pjanic of Lyon and Piaka of Dynamo Zagreb, all of whom just joined the team this summer. Isn't this a banner set by General Manager Mallota? Just kidding. Juventus fans should be lucky to be assigned to this group. In the past, they were divided into death groups too many times, but in this group, the smell of death was not so strong. In addition, looking at the countries where these teams are located, Juventus' flying distance in this Champions League is the shortest among the giants, which is conducive to their ideal results. Seville lost many good players this summer, such as Gameiro, Krihoviak and llorente. The strength of the team has been seriously lost. Besides, they once occupied the third place. This time, they are likely to copy this result and then play their own cup. Lyon should get a seat, Fekir is back, Lacazette has started well, and there are many young French talents. After seven consecutive championships, Lyon began to go up again. This season's Champions League group match, you can take a good look at the former French overlord.
Group qualifying forecast, first: Juventus, second: Lyon.
Finally, talk about the reform of the Champions League. Such reform is undoubtedly a good thing for traditional strongmen. The Champions League will eventually return to the concept of elite league when it was founded, and there will be many death groups or real death groups in the future. The Champions League is finally no longer a tool for Mr Platini to play politics. At first, he gave them a lot of benefits in order to please the small community. Now that he has stepped down, the whole wind has changed. For the fans, it is actually a good thing, let us see more strong teams appear in the Champions League.
The annual Champions League is about to start again, so look forward to it.
