Chapter 684 Champions League Round of 16!

"After qualifying early, some teams often use the sixth round of the group stage to train new players, and there have even been cases of shuffling players. For example, a certain Portuguese coach did this in a certain season.

.”

At the post-match press conference, Lee Polo also secretly mocked a certain bird.

——While coaching at Real Madrid, Mourinho openly instigated Ramos, Alonso and others to wash away yellow cards...

In this regard, Lee Polo sternly criticized:

"This is extremely disrespectful to the Champions League, UEFA, and the fans. The fans bought tickets to support us despite their busy schedules, but they did not come to see us train the youth team!"

"I'm very happy. Chelsea has never been such a team. We always take the game 100% seriously and give our best 100%!"

Conte, who was sitting next to him, curled his lips:

[Come on! You double-standard dog!]

[This is not what you look like when dealing with New Wimbledon!]

[If you played 100% in that game, even if you couldn’t score double digits, you would definitely not only score 4 goals!]

With Lee Polo's five goals and two goalkeepers' penalty kicks, Chelsea bloodbathed Real Madrid 7-0 at home and sent the Galacticos to the Europa League stage...

The results of other competitions have also been released one after another, and all 16 teams have advanced to the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

In Group A, Barcelona and Manchester City undoubtedly joined forces to qualify, but Manchester City in the second group became the first in the group.

In Group B, the seed team Arsenal only scored 6 points in six group matches, ranking behind Dortmund and Roma. They will participate in the Europa League with Real Madrid, a third-tier football team that was not originally optimistic.

The team, Giallorossi Roma, surprisingly qualified as the group leader.

There were also surprises in Group C. It was also a third-tier team. Liverpool also topped the group, while Atletico Madrid ranked second with a disadvantage in terms of victory and defeat. French Ligue 1 class leader Paris Saint-Germain could only withdraw sadly.

Group D is a group of rookies competing against each other. Porto and Galatasaray played side by side. Valencia was in third place with a slight disadvantage and could only participate in the Europa League. Lokomotiv Moscow became the worst seeded team.

…

The seeded teams in Group E finally did not overturn. Juventus finished second in the group with 12 points and advanced together with Schalke 04 with 13 points.

The seeded teams in Group F are undoubtedly the most stable. Bayern has advanced two rounds ahead of schedule with 16 points from six games (one draw), while the other qualifying team is Ajak in the fourth tier.

Sri Lanka. Manchester United won the opportunity to participate in the Europa League with a slight advantage in victory and defeat...

Group G is also a group where rookies compete against each other. Two old black clubs, Eindhoven and Monaco, successfully advanced, while Shakhtar Donetsk can only play in the Europa League.

To summarize, the list of the top 16 of the Champions League is as follows.

First in the group: Manchester City, Roma, Liverpool, Porto, Schalke, Bayern, PSV, Chelsea.

Second place in group: Barcelona, Dortmund, Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray, Juventus, Ajax, Monaco, Inter Milan.

The eight teams that fell into the Europa League include:

Naples, Arsenal, Paris, Manchester United, Benfica, Valencia, Shakhtar Donetsk, Real Madrid, are all famous teams!

After seeing this result, UEFA President Ceferin couldn't help but be elated!

He and his subordinates almost opened champagne in the office!

[This Champions League was a huge success!]

[The ratings for this Europa League...are guaranteed!]

[Even if we don’t operate behind the scenes in the lottery process, it’s still a strong showdown!]

UEFA really has no room to operate this time, because both the top 16 of the Champions League and the top 32 of the Europa League are full of gimmicks.

The day after the group stage ended, UEFA took advantage of the unabated momentum and held a knockout draw ceremony.

Compared with the group stage draw, the knockout rounds are much simpler.

It only took 10 minutes for the top 16 teams to be clearly arranged.

The first place in the group vs. the second place in the group, there are no other rules except that the same group needs to avoid it.

Manchester City was drawn against Monaco, and the No. 1 black shop in Ligue 1 can let the big money owner inspect the goods again.

Roma meets Atletico Madrid, who can have the last laugh between the two fierce horses?

Liverpool was drawn against Dortmund, and Klopp once again faced the old club that made him famous.

Porto met Galatasaray, which can be regarded as a show reserved for UEFA.

Schalke 04 encountered Inter Milan, and the rookies pecked each other*2.

Bayern met Barcelona. This was a final-level duel!

PSV and Ajax became the third group of rookies pecking each other.

Chelsea's opponent is the overlord from Serie A - Juventus!

Seeing such a draw result, Li Polo expressed a little regret.

Just after helping Inter Milan advance to the knockout round, another Serie A team is about to withdraw from the Champions League...

Maybe God can't stand it, but there are three teams in Serie A that have advanced to the top 16!

After all, only three teams have advanced to the Premier League, the top league.

And the majestic king of the Champions League, that galactic battleship, has already sailed to the UEFA Europa League to experience life!

After playing the last round of the Champions League group stage, Chelsea returned to the Premier League without stopping.

Only three days later, they faced the challenge from their opponents in the 17th round of the league.

"Seagull", Brighton!

Due to the exhaustion in the fierce battle against Real Madrid, main players such as Lipolo, Hazard, Kante, Cesc Fabregas, Rudiger, Alonso, Azpilicueta had to take a temporary rest.

Lu, Pedro, Golovin, Chik, Barrios, Zapacosta and other rotation players got the opportunity to show their strength.

Brighton, ranked 10th in the standings, even with the home advantage, is not enough to put Chelsea in trouble.

In the 27th minute of the first half, Giroud responded to Zapacosta's cross and used a coquettish volley to break the Seagulls' goal.

In the second half, Hazard came out in full force. He and Pedro passed and shot, extending the score to 3:0.

It's a pity that the substitute's defense was not very stable. In the last few minutes, Brighton scored a goal, and all the players lost the clean sheet bonus!

Li Polo, who did not play, also felt it was a pity, but even if he personally played as a central defender, there was no way to ensure that the team did not concede goals.

So they quickly calmed down and boarded a charter flight to Asia.

The 2018 Club World Cup has begun!

Seven giants from six continents will compete for the highest honor at the club level (nominally) in the United Arab Emirates in the Gulf region!

South America's century-old giant - River Plate (Argentina)!

The new overlord of the AFC – Kashima Antlers (Japan)!

Africa's emerging force - Tunisia Hope (Tunisia)!

Champion of North and Central America and the Caribbean - Guadalajara (Mexico)!

Star of Oceania - Wellington (New Zealand)!

Host country, Gulf League champions - Al Ain (UAE)!

And the blue team that has already conquered the continent - Chelsea!

Is there any suspense about the outcome of this event?
