Football King Bale

Of course, as far as the entire world of football is concerned, another topic that has attracted the most attention these days is another topic, and that is this season's Champions League knockout draw.

One day after Manchester United ended its Club World Cup semi-final match, the draw ceremony for the first leg of this season's knockout rounds was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

As Ferguson led the Manchester United team to Asia, it was team CEO David Gill who attended the draw ceremony.

Among the 16 teams, 8 teams have won the Champions League, accounting for just half; 3 teams have been runners-up, 3 of the top 4 teams in the Premier League have advanced, Serie A has Milan and Napoli, and La Liga has advanced Real Madrid and Barcelona are represented. The elimination of Manchester City, Porto and Valencia was quite an upset. The Cypriot team APOEL is a dark horse with great qualities.

According to UEFA's draw rules, after entering the top 16, opponents from the same country league and previously in the same group will avoid it. According to this principle, there may also be some strong dialogues in the first round of the Champions League knockout rounds. For example, AC Milan, which qualified as second in the group, is something no one wants to encounter.

Because the three Premier League teams all advanced to the knockout rounds as first in the group, apart from Benfica, who avoided the group stage, Manchester United's opponents in the knockout round may encounter seven other teams, including AC Milan.

UEFA Secretary General Mr. Infantino presided over the draw ceremony. Before the draw, he first praised Manchester United for defeating the Asian champions in the Club World Cup. Last season's Champions League champion won honors for UEFA.

After the 16 promoted teams were introduced through a short video, the draw ceremony officially began, with German legendary star Paul Bleckner attending as a special guest.

………………

Compared with the group stage draw, the draw for the top 16 knockout rounds this time was much simpler. It didn't take long for the eight pairs of knockout opponents to be announced. As a result, Arsenal became the most unlucky group leader, and they happened to meet AC Milan, the second strongest group and the current leader in the Serie A standings.

Since Platini came to power, the Premier League and Serie A have been locked in a stalemate almost every year, becoming the oldest drama. In this draw, Milan and Naples have a 28% chance of drawing the London duo. UEFA has not disappointed the spectators. Arsenal and the Rossoneri will repeat the grudge battle in the 2007-2008 season. Naples will meet Chelsea after playing Manchester City. The "peasants" fought one landlord and then another.

However, the defending champion Manchester United's luck is as good as ever. They qualified first in the group and got a more ordinary opponent, Zenit St. Petersburg. Although Manchester United lost to their opponents in the European Super Cup three years ago, in terms of strength, Zenit is really inferior to Manchester United today.

As lucky as Manchester United,

There are three other teams that are favorites to win the championship.

Although "World Sports News" believes that Barcelona has drawn the strongest team among the seven potential opponents, with the superior strength of the Cosmos team, the possibility of Leverkusen's upset is extremely slim. Dutt's team had no advantage against Valencia in the group stage, and Barcelona has almost been defeated every time it encounters Bundesliga teams in recent years.

Real Madrid's draw with CSKA is even better. Butragueno only mentioned the weather in Moscow after the draw. Real Madrid's hope of meeting Barcelona in the final is 10% greater.

Bayern, the fourth favorite and host of the Champions League final, also won the lottery. The result of the game against Basel, veteran player Breitner's constant laughter demonstrated the attitude of the Bundesliga leader. With the German's attitude towards the game and his thorough knowledge of the Swiss League, the "host" in the final was essentially sent out for one round.

After the draw results were announced, the major betting companies in Europe immediately adjusted the winning odds of each team. As a result, the defending champions Manchester United and Barcelona tied for first place, with odds of 2.5 to 1, and Real Madrid ranked third with 3.5 to 1. , Southern King Bayern is ranked fourth with 1 to 6, but the odds of the following teams are far behind these four teams. Chelsea, ranked fifth, has an odds of 17 to 1.

………………

The heat of the Champions League knockout matches has not yet subsided, but Manchester United has ushered in the Club World Cup final.

Compared with the semi-finals three days ago, Manchester United made a number of adjustments, but there were no changes in the defense. The adjustments were basically in the midfield and frontcourt.

Manchester United expanded the score 2:0.
