Hidden rules of drawing lots for the Champions League knockout. . .

Rules and hidden rules of the Champions League draw

Axiom 1. Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Barcelona are seed teams, and the seed teams do not compete with each other.

Demand 1. In view of the fact that the venue of the final was in Moscow and Chelsea Football Club played a key role in the disintegration of G 14, Shi Lan entered the final in principle.

Demand 2. In order to avoid the phenomenon that the two finalists are from the same country, and to suppress the arrogance of the Premier League team in the European war, in principle, Barcelona will go to the final (if Barcelona can't, Rome can).

Demand 3. There is no need to guarantee the results of Serie A teams in this season's Champions League, which will greatly ease the pressure on Juventus to participate in next season's Champions League, proving that Serie A has one and only one core, and that is Juventus.

Demand 4. Try to avoid Liverpool getting a better ranking.

Demand 5. On the basis of ensuring 12346, try to ensure that the game is ornamental and has a selling point.

Condition 1. In order to ensure the possibility of realizing the first four items, the interests of non-Premier League La Liga Serie A teams can be completely sacrificed.

Inference 1: According to demand 1 and demand 2, Chelsea and Barcelona should be divided into two different halves, and their opponents should be two weaker teams. In view of the equal strength of Rome, Liverpool and the seed team, Fenerbahce and 04 were chosen, of which Fenerbahce was tough, and Barcelona might be suddenly cold by Messi in the absence, so Chelsea was chosen as a mechanized unit to surrender it.

Inference 2: According to inference 1 and axiom 1, because Barcelona and Chelsea are not rivals of Liverpool, Liverpool's rivals can only be Arsenal or Manchester United, and demand 4 is automatically met.

Inference 3: According to Inference 2, there is only one civil war in the Premier League, and the pattern of Premier League teams is 13 or 22. Obviously, the pattern of 13 will be conducive to the emergence of demand 2, so the Premier League civil war will be arranged in Chelsea's half, and there will be only one Premier League team in the other half.

Inference 4: Status quo

Barcelona 04 x Rome

Liverpool-Chelsea-Fenerbahce

X and y stand for Manchester United and Arsenal.

Inference 5: According to Inference 4, the demand is 1, obviously X is Manchester United and Y is Arsenal. First of all, Y must be able to knock out Liverpool, but not too threatening to Chelsea. Manchester United meets the former condition and does not meet the latter condition. Secondly, in order to meet demand 2 and demand 5, Manchester United is perfect for Rome, so Barcelona should not be afraid of either team in style.

Inference 6: If all the above inferences come true, it is very likely that it will be the semi-finals of the Champions League.

Barcelona Manchester United/Rome

Arsenal Chelsea
