Star Card System

December 7th.

Nyon, Switzerland.

The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals.

In the front row, there were several famous coaches.

Mourinho and Guardiola were meaningfully placed next to each other.

After taking their seats, both of them found it interesting.

Although they are tit-for-tat on the court, the two actually have a good personal relationship.

After all, we were close friends during our time at Barcelona, ​​so there is no relationship.

It’s just that because of my position over the years, I have seemed relatively unfamiliar in front of the media.

Both of them are in a good mood today.

"Jose, long time no see."

"Josep, stop making trouble. We just met in the United States this summer and played against each other."

"That's true. For people like us, a few months flies by so quickly."

"And we will meet again in a few days, the Manchester derby. I'm really looking forward to it."

"This season it's my turn to win the Premier League title."

"Forget it, when I leave Manchester United, it will be your turn again."

"Haha, you are such a silver-tongued guy."

"Forget about the Premier League, what do you think of this Champions League quarter-finals?"

"We can't be divided into one group anyway, it doesn't matter who we draw."

"Does it really matter? The second team in the group this time is Real Madrid and Barcelona. It would not be fun to meet them."

"Hey, speaking of it, La Liga is really embarrassing this time. The two leaders didn't even get first place in the group. It's really funny."

"Forget it, I still hope they can get first place in the group. I really don't want to touch them."

"It doesn't matter. I've touched it too many times before, so I don't care."

Although they are tit-for-tat enemies on the sidelines of the court, here the two are like friends they have not seen for many years, chatting easily.

To be honest, this time the top 16 of the Champions League is quite valuable.

Among all the teams, there are almost no weaklings.

Besiktas and Basel, who appear to be weaker on paper, also performed at the top level in the group stage.

Let alone those teams from the five major leagues.

As time goes by, the results of the matches will be revealed one by one!

Manchester United VS Barcelona!

Manchester City VS Basel!

Real Madrid VS Paris!

Bayern VS Besiktas!

Liverpool VS Porto!

Juventus VS Tottenham!

Sevilla VS Chelsea!

Shakhtar Donetsk VS Roma!

As the lottery was going on, people kept laughing.

For example, when Paris drew Real Madrid.

In this group match, Paris was full of momentum and in good shape.

Their goal this year is still the Champions League championship, there is no doubt about it.

But I didn't expect that just after making it out of the group stage, they met Real Madrid in the knockout round.

Real Madrid, which fell to second place in the group due to distraction, became the source of tears for Paris.

Maybe the French giants' championship dream will continue for some time...

Neymar, who joined Paris, will face off against his old rival again.

This time there is no Messi around him, and as he wishes, he can lead the team by himself.

If he can really eliminate Real Madrid and finally win the championship, then he can definitely realize his dream of matching Messi.

On Real Madrid's side, Cristiano Ronaldo is also looking forward to his journey to defend his Champions League title.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been in full swing recently, and his condition and performance have surpassed that of Messi, who is prone to injuries.

More championships will give him a greater advantage in the era of double pride.

The performance of the two leading superstars will determine the final promotion spot to the greatest extent.

Countless fans are looking forward to it. This is definitely one of the two most anticipated games in the Champions League quarter-finals!

The protagonist of the other game is Manchester United.

When the England star Owen opened the note and read out Manchester United's opponent team, the whole audience burst into laughter.

"Barcelona!"

Ha ha ha ha!

This laughter has the meaning of schadenfreude, and it is not too big a deal to watch the excitement.

Mourinho had a calm expression and seemed not to care about the result.

It doesn't matter, UEFA often creates some focus on the knockout rounds, which is normal.

He turned and glanced at Guardiola.

"Man, you're the one who laughs the loudest."

"It's nothing, I'm happy for you."

"What's there to be happy about?"

"Among the eight groups in second place, I personally think the worst team to play is Barcelona."

"Well, because you laid a good foundation back then, haha."

"José, don't be so weird."

"I think it doesn't matter. Anyway, my goal is to win the Champions League. No matter which team we are, we will meet on the road to the championship. No matter who it is, just kill it, it doesn't matter."

"If you have the guts, you can."

"But don't worry, even if we play Barcelona, ​​we will not relax our progress in the Premier League."

"Can we still chat happily..."

Mourinho and Guardiola chatted, and it was clear that Mourinho did not care much about the result of the draw.

But Barcelona coach Valverde was not so happy.

Since being drawn against Manchester United, he has started to frown.

This opponent is difficult to deal with.

The opponent in his heart is not Manchester United, but Mourinho.

Since coaching Athletic Bilbao in the summer of 2003, he has spent most of his coaching career in La Liga.

He has also played against Real Madrid coached by Mourinho more than once.

He is absolutely clear about the strength of the madman.

Now he has joined Manchester United. He was invincible in the Europa League and the Premier League last season, and everyone knows it.

He also showed a strong dominance in the Champions League group stage this time.

In his heart, the opponent he least wants to meet is Manchester United.

As a result, he really met him.

Now that Neymar has left Barcelona, ​​Dembele continues to be injured, and the team's offensive power is insufficient.

There are many troubles in the league, and the Champions League will face a strong opponent Manchester United again.

When Valverde thought of this, his head hurt.

His first experience of coaching a giant will not end in a short time...

The two heavyweight duels attracted enough attention.

There will be many strong dialogues in the future.

Juventus VS Tottenham, Sevilla VS Chelsea.

These are two duels from the top five leagues. They are evenly matched and there is not much difference in strength.

What is the final result? It's 50-50.

The four teams outside the top five leagues all encountered strong opponents.

Bayern VS Besiktas

Bayern, who was in high spirits in the group stage, drew Besiktas.

Bayern was very satisfied with the result.

Well, it can be said that they are sure to reach the quarterfinals.

Liverpool vs. Porto.

Although Porto is a well-known black shop, it is still not good enough in front of Klopp.

Although Liverpool is not stable enough in the league this season, the occasional burst of offensive power is still enough to shock.

Shakhtar Donetsk vs. Roma.

Roma, who is aiming for revival, has also drawn a good lot this time.

Although Shakhtar is not weak, it is at least easier to play than many opponents, just for Roma.

Roma has a great chance of advancing.

Manchester City vs. Basel.

There is nothing much to say about this matchup.

After the draw results were announced, Guardiola said to Mourinho earnestly: "There is no weak team in the top 16, it doesn't matter who you draw."

Mourinho just wanted to laugh.

"Please put away the smile on your face a little, and then say this to me again, okay?" (End of this chapter)
