Chapter 161: Fall behind

In the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Schalke 04 defeated Olympiacos 2:0 at home, while Arsenal also won Montpellier 2:0 at home, so the ranking of Group B has already been advanced one round. Locked.
Schalke 04 locked the first place in the group with 13 points, Arsenal locked second in the group with 10 points, Olympiacos locked the third in the group with 6 points to play in the Europa League. Montpellier lost five straight points and missed one point. Bottom.
Schalke 04 locked in the group first place in advance. This was a rather unexpected result. After all, before the start of the group stage, the German media basically expected Schalke 04 to compete for second in the group.
However, Schalke 04 is not the only Bundesliga team to qualify early. Bayern and Dortmund also both qualify for a round ahead of the group.
Although Bayern failed to secure the first place in the group, Dortmund was the first to qualify for the group.
Dortmund is a bigger upset among the three Bundesliga Champions League teams than Schalke 04. You must know that they are divided into a group with Real Madrid, Manchester City and Ajax, the deadliest group of the season, but they can actually be one ahead. The first qualifying round of the lock group is indeed surprising.
It is worth mentioning that the super-death group has already decided the winner in advance. Dortmund locked first in the group and Real Madrid locked second in the group.
As for the "favorite" Manchester City, they still have a chance to fight for a group third to play the Europa League, if they wish.
This season, the Bundesliga has three teams qualify one round ahead of schedule, this is the first time in the history of the Champions League.
If Bayern can successfully win the last round and take first place in the group, then three Bundesliga teams will qualify as group firsts this season, which will also be the first time in the history of the Champions League.
The three teams of the Bundesliga in the Champions League played well, and the German media has begun to hype up. Topics such as the rise of the Bundesliga and the dominance of Europe have begun to appear on the pages of some small German media.
However, the mainstream media is still more restrained, because although the Bundesliga is playing well, it can only be regarded as Europe's second place. The situation in La Liga is even better than the Bundesliga.
At present, the four La Liga teams have all qualified one round ahead of schedule. Barcelona and Málaga have directly secured the first place in the group. Valencia also has a chance to compete for the first place with Bayern in the final round. Only Real Madrid is locked in the second line of the group. The "worst" performance of the four La Liga teams was the worst.
In this round of the Champions League, the most watched game is naturally the defending champion Chelsea's away game against Juventus. It is a game that is very likely to eliminate a giant.
In the end, Juventus completely defeated the Blues at home 3:0, and Chelsea's qualifying situation in the Champions League became very dangerous.
Chelsea still want to qualify. It is not enough to win the final round by themselves. They also hope that the Ukrainian team Shakhtar Donetsk, who has already qualified early, can beat Juventus at home so that Chelsea can qualify.
On the contrary, as long as Juventus scored a point in an away game in Ukraine, Chelsea will be out immediately.
On the whole, the first defending champion who was eliminated from the group stage in the history of the Champions League may not be far away.
After losing the away game, the Buddha coach Di Matteo, who led Chelsea to win the Champions League and FA Cup doubles last season, directly broke the blue bridge on the spot and was fired.
There is a famous dish in London, named Chelsea Fried Coach, which is not an understatement.

Currently Dortmund has scored the most goals on Lewand, who scored four.
Bayern played very well. The veteran Pizarro who scored the most goals was the veteran who completed only one hat trick. Three goals were the most.
In the current Champions League total scorer list, Lee Chenglong and Huntelaar's 5 goals are also very many, directly ranked first.
In the current Champions League scorers list after 5 group matches, 5 goals are the most, but there are several players tied.
In addition to Jackie Lee and Huntelaar, there are two big Boss players, Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi, as well as Irmaz of Galatasaray of Turkey and Alan O of Braga of Portugal. Sorio.

After the Champions League, it will soon be the weekend league.
On November 24, the 13th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 played against Frankfurt at home.
Frankfurt can also be considered a strong Bundesliga. They are the first team in German history to reach the Champions League final and have won the Europa League.
And Frankfurt is still a team that prefers Asian players. In the history of the team, there have been Asian players such as Che Fangen, Gaota Naotai, Yang Chen, etc., even if they currently have Japanese players Ganguishi in their team.
However, after entering the 21st century, Frankfurt's performance is quite struggling, often in the middle and lower reaches, and has been downgraded three times.
But after being promoted to the Bundesliga as a newly promoted this season, Frankfurt's performance is quite amazing, once he overpowered Bayern to climb to the top of the standings, this is something Schalke 04 has never done.
Even if the current state of Frankfurt has begun to decline, it is also the third-ranked team in the Bundesliga, which is by no means easy to deal with.
In the 11th minute of going to the Schalke Stadium, Li Chenglong broke through the wing before returning to the penalty area. Draxler then picked the ball into the penalty area and assisted Huntelaar with a header to make Schalke 04 Achieved the lead ~EbookFREE.me~ but then Schalke 04 has been unable to find a chance to expand the score, but Frankfurt's counterattack played in a pattern, threatening Schalke's goal from time to time.
More than 60 minutes into the second half of the game, the score was still 1:0. At this time, Hubble Stevens began to command the team to retract the defense and plan to score the three points with a score of 1:0.
Recently, the team has encountered problems one after another. The morale of the team is indeed not high, just can score three points.
But in the 83rd minute, the opponent's midfielder Aigner scored a long-range shot, letting Stevens' plan go to waste.
In this way, Schalke 04 drew 1:1 with Frankfurt at home, a result that both sides were not satisfied with, because both sides lost two points.
In other games of this round, Bayern beat Hannover 96 at home 5:0, which once again opened the gap with Schalke 04.
And Dortmund and Leverkusen both won and once again recovered some points.
Bayern currently ranks first with 11 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with 34 points, and Schalke 04 ranks second with 9 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss with 28 points.
The next Dortmund scored 25 points, Leverkusen and Frankfurt both scored 24 points.
Now Schalke 04 has trailed Bayern by 6 points, and there is still a gap of a dozen goals difference. Two games have not been able to catch up.
"Schalke 04 has fallen behind, it is difficult for them to catch up with Bayern." That night, all major German TV stations were saying this.
"But this is normal. They lost Raul in the summer. Even if the high-priced Bruce Lee performed well and filled Raul's vacancy well, it would still be difficult to compete with Bayern."
"They can bite Bayern in the standings for half a season, which is already a surprise."
