The final round of the Champions League group stage ended early this morning, and all the teams that have advanced to the top 16 have been produced. It is staggering that the results of the traditional five league champions last season were not satisfactory-French champion Monaco was eliminated from the bottom of the group, and the other four league champions led by Real Madrid (including Real Madrid, Bayern, Juventus and Chelsea) were second in the group. I'm afraid this story was not expected by many fans before the game.
This also means that there may be many strong dialogues in the upcoming 16 lottery. The draw rules for the Champions League 16 are as follows: 1. Teams under the same football association do not meet in the first round; 2. Each group does not meet in the first round; 3. The two teams will not meet in the second round; 4. The first round and the second round of the same group do not meet.
Real Madrid and Bayern only finished second in the group, so I'm afraid neither team will be willing to meet them in advance. In extreme cases, there may be heavyweight collisions such as Manchester United VS Real Madrid, Paris VS Chelsea, Barcelona VS Bayern, Manchester City VS Juventus at the same time, which is as exciting as the Champions League final.
Last season's Champions League, Real Madrid also won the second place in the group, but in the end, all the way through, completed the feat of defending the title. For a team that aims to win the championship, it may not be a bad thing to beat all its opponents, encounter strong enemies in advance and get into the state as soon as possible.
