Chapter 377: UEFA Champions League

, The fastest update to the latest chapter of the football player!
The results of the UEFA Champions League semi-final draw came out, and it was natural that the media from various countries had to resolve the draw.
First of all, the result of this year's draw is a chance for Real Madrid and Barcelona to join the Champions League final.
In the previous Champions League history, Barcelona and Real Madrid have successfully reached the semi-finals in the same UEFA Champions League four times, but in the 01/02 and 10/11 seasons, they all met in the semi-finals in advance.
In the other two situations where the two sides did not meet in advance, they failed to meet in the finals.
In the 99/00 season, this is the first time that both sides have reached the Champions League semi-finals at the same time. Real Madrid successfully defeated their opponent Bayern in the semi-finals, but Barcelona lost to Valencia, also a La Liga team.
In the 11/12 season, Barcelona and Real Madrid all reached the Champions League semi-finals and did not meet in advance, but they lost to Chelsea and Bayern in the semi-finals respectively, and neither of them made it to the final.
Now this time, it will be a good opportunity for Barcelona and Real Madrid to meet again in the Champions League final.
According to the result of the draw in the semifinals, Barcelona is the dominant player against Juventus, and Real Madrid is also dominant against Liverpool.
So this time Barcelona Real Madrid want to meet in the final, the chance is still quite big.
Especially in the finals between Liverpool and Real Madrid, everyone generally believes that Real Madrid's promotion is a high probability event.
In the group stage, Liverpool and Real Madrid were in the same group, but Liverpool was 0:3 at home and 0:1 away. Real Madrid suffered a double kill in the two rounds.
Now that the two sides meet again in the semi-finals, the media certainly believe that Real Madrid can definitely advance.
Even the English media, which has always liked to create topics, felt that Liverpool had already overfulfilled the task of reaching the Champions League semi-finals, and they would not be ashamed even if they were eliminated.
In short, the current European media generally look down on Liverpool and believe that Real Madrid's advancement to the final is just around the corner.
Even the London media has begun to take the rhythm, they deliberately hyped Liverpool in the Champions League civil war to have done the strongest Chelsea in the Premier League, but now most of them have to send Real Madrid in the semifinals.
When Liverpool is really out of the Champions League semi-finals, at least a hat of civil war insiders and outsiders is indispensable.
For all kinds of opinions, Lee Chenglong, as Liverpool's head star, has to stand up and defend the team.
"I don't think Liverpool will definitely lose to Real Madrid before the Champions League semi-finals have started."
"Although we were double-killed by Real Madrid in the group stage, in the history of the Champions League, we were double-killed by the opponent in the group stage, but eliminated the opponent after we met again in the knockout stage. This situation has happened.
"If everyone else can do it, why can't Liverpool?"
"Also, everyone, don't forget that Real Madrid is the team that won the group stage this season. The team that won the group stage in the history of the Champions League has never had a good result..."
In fact, in the history of the Champions League, teams from the same group want to meet again in the knockouts, and it is really rare.
At the same time, it is necessary to meet the requirement of being double-killed in the group stage, and the opponent will be eliminated after the knockout match.
In the history of the Champions League, there has been one and only one time, that is, the 99/00 season. At that time, there were two group stages in the Champions League. For the group stage, Real Madrid and Bayern met in the second round of the group stage.
At that time, Bayern defeated Real Madrid 4:2 in the group match away and 4:1 at home. However, after the two teams met again in the semifinals, Real Madrid eliminated Bayern 2:0 at home and 1:2 away in the two rounds. Entered the finals and successfully won the championship.
Therefore, Real Madrid is the only team that can be double-killed in the group stage, but defeated the opponent in the knockout stage.
But now, Liverpool's opponent happens to be Real Madrid, it is more difficult to do the same with them.
In addition, Real Madrid won the UEFA Champions League group stage this season, which has become an excuse for Lee Chenglong.
In the history of the Champions League, the teams that maintained a complete victory in the group stage did not achieve good results.
The 92/93 season of the Champions League, that was the first time after the restructuring of the Champions League, the group stage was introduced for the first time, but the quota for the Champions League at that time had not been fully released. The group stage was arranged in the quarter-finals.
The eight teams in the quarterfinals are divided into two groups for group matches, and the first group of each group directly enters the final.
It was the heyday of AC Milan. They maintained a complete victory in six group matches, but faced the French Ligue 1 team Marseille in the final and unexpectedly lost to each other 0:1.
Marseille is the only team in the history of Ligue 1 that has won the Champions League. Although they were exposed to a match-fixing case shortly after winning the Champions League, the match-fixing case mainly occurred in Ligue 1, so Marseille although Was forced to relegation, but the Champions League champion was retained.
In fact, the match-fixing case of the year was also related to the Champions League match. At that time, Marseille was dominating the Ligue 1 and reached the Champions League final two years ago. However, because of the distraction of the domestic league, the Belgrade Red Star was 0: Draw with 0 and finally lose the championship in penalty shootout.
So two years later, Marseille made it to the Champions League final again. They were smart enough to bribe the players of the league rival Valenciennes and let the opponent release the water so that Marseille could win the Ligue 1 champion in advance, so they could prepare for the Champions League final with all their heart. In the end, he successfully won the Champions League.
The Marseilles back then were indeed quite strong, and they have already begun to go out of the usual routines of the previous French Ligue 1 teams-full-time at the level of training stars for the four major leagues, gathered a group of very powerful players, and completed Ligue 1 Five consecutive championships, two of the Champions League finals three years.
Looking back from today, if the Marseille management didn't make those small moves smartly and could continue to develop the team step by step, they would definitely dominate the Ligue 1 for a long time, and it would be a matter of time before they won the Champions League.
After more than ten years and eight years, Marseille is likely to develop into the only giant team in Ligue 1, just like Bayern in the Bundesliga.
Unfortunately, nothing is if.
AC Milan is the only team in the history of the Champions League to win the group stage. Although they failed to win the championship, reaching the final is already the best result of the group stage.
In the 94/95 season of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain led by George Weah won the group stage, but they were eliminated by AC Milan in the semifinals.
In the 95/96 UEFA Champions League, the Russian Super League team Sparta Moscow unexpectedly played the Champions League group stage victory~EbookFREE.me~ However, their group stage victory was because their opponents were not strong, so the gold content was not high.
The opponents of Sparta Moscow in the group stage are Polish team Warsaw Legia, Norwegian team Rosenborg and Premier League team Blackburn.
This group was supposed to be prepared for the defending Premier League champion Blackburn, but as a newcomer to the Champions League, Blackburn played very badly in their first Champions League trip. They were directly out of the group, so Sparta Moscow won the group stage by accident. Win all.
After entering the knockout round, Sparta Moscow was immediately eliminated by the French Ligue 1 team Nantes, and it was indeed not effective.
In the 02/03 season of the Champions League, Barcelona was divided into a simple group in the group stage, and a group with Lokomotiv Moscow, Bruges and Galatasaray. They successfully won the group stage but were sent by Juventus in the Champions League quarter-finals. go.
In the 11/12 Champions League, Real Madrid won the group stage, but they were eliminated by Bayern in the Champions League semi-finals.
Now this is the second time Real Madrid have won the UEFA Champions League group stage, but it is still unclear what results they can achieve in the end.
