Chapter 336: No pole tail

In the final round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Liverpool won Basel 2:1 at home.
　　 In another game at the same time, Real Madrid beat Ludogorets 4:0 at home, completing their task of winning the group stage.
　　 In this case, in the final standings of Group B, Real Madrid ranked first in the group with 6 consecutive victories and 18 points. It is also the only team in the Champions League this season to maintain a complete group victory.
　　 Liverpool finished second in the group with 2 wins, 2 draws, 2 losses and 8 points, and also successfully advanced to the knockout rounds.
　　 Then Basel and Ludogorets both scored 4 points, and Basel relied on the win-loss relationship to dominate, so he qualified for the Europa League knockout.
　　 At this point, the UEFA Champions League group stage this season has all ended, and the final qualification of each group has also been determined.
　　 The toughest Manchester City and Schalke 04 also passed. They both won away games. At the same time, they managed to advance by relying on the team that locked in the group first to help them snipe their opponents.
　　 Although the process of the group stage may be a bit tortuous, there are basically no major accidents in each group.
　　 In fact, this is also expected when the group stage is divided, because each group is strong and weak.
　　The four teams in the Premier League have all succeeded in qualifying. This is good news.
　　 However, only Chelsea got the first place in the group, and the other three teams were only second in the group, which may make the round of 16.
　　 Among the sixteen teams that have advanced to the knockout rounds this season, the Premier League four teams and the Bundesliga four teams all qualified, followed by the three teams in La Liga, the two teams in Ligue 1, and one team each in Serie A, Portugal and Ukraine.
　　 After the end of the Champions League group stage, in the latest Champions League scorer list, Shakhtar Donetsk's Adriano continued to rank first with 9 goals.
　　Actually, he never scored again after the fourth round of the group stage, but he brushed enough before and still ranked first.
　　 Messi also scored a goal in the final round, ranking second with 8 goals.
　　 Next is Lee Chenglong, who ranked third with 6 goals.
　　 Although Li Chenglong only played four group matches, he still scored 6 goals. This efficiency is still good.
　　 There are a lot of players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Aguero and so on. They all scored 5 goals.
　　※※※
　　 The UEFA Champions League group stage is over, and the next is the knockout draw.
　　 Because Liverpool is second in the group, it is very likely that they will meet a strong group first, which is more worrying.
　　 The eight teams in the Champions League this season are Real Madrid, Bayern, Barcelona, ​​Atletico, Chelsea, Dortmund, Monaco and Porto.
　　 Among the eight group firsts, Liverpool and Real Madrid have the same group avoidance principle, and Chelsea have the same league avoidance principle.
In this way, after excluding two difficult opponents, three of the remaining six teams are more difficult to deal with, namely Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid and Chelsea. The other three are better to deal with, namely Dortmund, Monaco and Porto. .
　　 At present, Dortmund's situation in the Bundesliga is very bad, so although they are the first in the group and even reached the Champions League final two years ago, they are still attributed to the easier teams.
　　 So although Liverpool is second in the group, it is also a half-and-half draw in the top 16 draw. There is only half the probability that it will be difficult to draw.
　　 Instead, Juventus, Manchester City, Paris and Liverpool all fell to second place in the group, which is probably something that many teams do not want to encounter.
　　 After the group stage, the draw for the top 16 came soon.
　　 Liverpool owner John Henry led the team to Monaco to participate in the draw.
　　 This season is the first time for the team to participate in the Champions League since Henry entered Liverpool. Naturally, it is also the first time in Henry's era that he has reached the knockout stage. He still pays more attention.
　　 On the Liverpool side, captain Gerrard organized everyone to watch the draw.
　　 At present, most of the Liverpool teams are Champions League recruits. Only a few such as Gerrard and Jackie Lee have experience in the Champions League knockouts.
　　 Sterling, this kid is the most excited, he keeps talking about it all the time.
　　 "You said, will we draw Barcelona or Bayern directly?"
　　 "Actually, it's not bad to draw Barcelona or Bayern, and it won't be too shameful even if you get out."
　　 "But I still hope to draw a simpler opponent so that we can go as far as possible."
　　……
　　 Seeing that the lottery was about to officially start, Li Chenglong slapped him on the back of his head and said, "Okay, stop mumbling, the lottery has started."
　　 "Isn't it the same who got it? Just do it and you're done."
　　 Sterling is still not convinced, and he underestimates in a low voice: "If you get Bayern or Porto, can it be the same...?"
　　 The draw ceremony officially began. The first draw was a set of focus matches, Chelsea vs. Paris.
　　 At this time, the BBC TV commentator that was live streaming began to sigh: "Chelsea is the only group first in our Premier League, and Paris Saint-Germain was drawn directly. This is really not a good sign."
　　 The second draw was Barcelona vs. Manchester City. This time the English commentary is even more pessimistic.
　　 "It's over. Both Chelsea and Manchester City have drawn very strong opponents. Maybe the Premier League will be eliminated in the top sixteen this season."
　　 In the current Premier League standings, Chelsea are ranked first and Manchester City are second. They are indeed the most competitive team on paper in the Premier League.
　　 But now, both of these teams have drawn difficult opponents ~EbookFREE.me~ It is indeed not optimistic.
　　 The next four consecutive groups have nothing to do with the Premier League, namely Atletico vs. Leverkusen, Juventus vs. Dortmund, Bayern vs. Shakhtar Donetsk, Real Madrid vs. Schalke 04.
　　 These four groups are basically strong and weak duels with little suspense. The biggest attraction may be Real Madrid vs. Schalke 04. This is the second encounter of the Champions League runner-up last season.
　　 But with Schalke 04 today, I am afraid that Real Madrid will be tortured to death.
　　 UEFA is also very good at doing things, they obviously see the current Schalke 04 strength decline, maybe no one can make it to the top 16 draw, so they directly let them play Real Madrid, and quickly eat two bites while it is hot.
　　 Although there are still the last two draws left, the English commentary is already cheering.
　　 "After experiencing the bad luck draw between Chelsea and Manchester City, we finally decide whether we are very happy and we can have a good draw result."
"The only two teams left are Arsenal and Liverpool in the Premier League, and the first two teams are Monaco and Porto. No matter how they draw, Liverpool and Arsenal are stable and able to enter the quarter-finals. of."
　　 Soon, the results of the draw came out, Arsenal played against Monaco, and Liverpool played against Porto.
　　 As the commentator said, this draw result is an excellent draw for Liverpool and Arsenal.
　　 Even Arsenal can take advantage of this opportunity to get rid of their four-year-old Champions League sixteen franc hat.
