Vol 3 Chapter 270: Champions League opponents

Perhaps it was too smug, after the end of the Champions League, Dortmund was away by 0-0 in the penultimate of the league in Augsburg.
Bayern Munich beat Hoffenheim 7:1 at home.
However, judging from the huge points gap between the two teams, this small setback does not affect anything at all.
Now there is a gap of nine points between the two teams...
It was the Champions League opponents that came out next that really made a huge impact on Dortmund.
They will meet in the quarter-finals... defending champion Barcelona!
For Dortmund, this is not good news. Barcelona can be said to be "in the sky" in today's European football.
Last season in the Champions League final, they beat Manchester United by absolute advantage and won the fourth Champions League trophy in club history.
Barcelona has won four Champions League titles since its establishment, three of which were won after entering the new century. It can be said that the first decade of the 21st century is the decade of Barcelona. In 2006, the Dreamer II team led by Rijkaard defeated the then strong Arsenal in the final and won the Champions League. In 2009, Guardiola led the third team of Dreams, in the final 2: 0 overtake the defending Manchester United. Not only did they win the Champions League that year, they also became the unprecedented six champions in European football-they won all the championships they could get that year!
Since then, Barcelona has begun to rule European football, and their rule has even affected world football.
In the 2008 European Cup, the Spanish national team based on Barcelona's tiki-taka football tactics, shed the hat of the "Qualifier" and won the European Cup with a strong rival in the European Cup.
Just in the summer of 2010, the Spanish national team, also based in Barcelona, ​​led by Bosque and won the Hercules Cup for the first time in history.
For a time, there was a "Barcelona whirlwind" in the world football. Everyone was talking about "tiki-taka". They were all learning Barcelona's transmission and control. The media were tireless to introduce how advanced Barcelona's tactics are. In the eyes of avid Barcelona fans, their football is no longer just football, but sublimation has become a beautiful "art"!
In this context, if someone dares to say that Barcelona football is watching them sleepy, then they have no basic aesthetics.
However, Barcelona's power is indeed real, not fans.
They are almost unwilling to meet in the Champions League.
As a result, Dortmund met.
The fans of ac Milan must be a bit dark now-let you eliminate us!

Dortmund's encounter with Barcelona is the focus of media coverage.
Because of Barcelona's current strength, whoever encounters them is unlucky.
In the quarter-finals just ended, Leverkusen has become such a bad luck. In the first round, Leverkusen lost to Barcelona at home 1:3.
This is still a normal score. With the strength of Leverkusen, even if they are at home, it is already very good to be able to play against Barcelona. After all, there is a goal and they will not be shaved by Barcelona at home. .
As for the fact that Leverkusen was eliminated from the first round, it is not very important.
Everyone understands this.
But after the game, some media broke the news that Messi exchanged two jerseys in a game. Because two Leverkusen players were infighting to grab Messi's jersey, Messi had to change in the first half. One out, another one in the second half.
This is unacceptable for Leverkusen who lost the game. On the one hand, the team lost at home and almost missed the quarter-finals of the Champions League. On the other hand, when the fans were sad in the stands, the two Leverkusen players competed for Messi’s jersey. They did not seem to feel pain for losing the game And shame, in their eyes, Messi's jersey is the most important, greater than the team's victory.
This performance naturally incurred the media and fans have been running.
The management of Leverkusen also intervened. In the end, the two jerseys were recovered by the club and announced that they would be auctioned online. The proceeds of the auction will be used for charity.
And Leverkusen also issued an internal ban, prohibiting players to exchange jerseys with Messi in the second round.
This matter is considered by the media as the "wacky shame" of the Leverkusen club.
But after the second round of the game ended, everyone found out that this is the real "shame and shame"!
Leverkusen played against Barcelona on the road, but was scored 1:7 by Barcelona. Messi scored five goals by himself! This scared everyone. Even if Leverkusen is unbearable, is it not so bad to lose on the road? It can only be said that Barcelona is terrible.
After the game, Messi made headlines in almost all sports media around the world.
UEFA officially confirmed that Messi is the first player to score five goals in a game after the 1992 Champions League restructuring. It is the eleventh player in the history of the Champions League to score five goals in a single game, and the first "only five goals" player in 33 years.
The media exclaimed, "Going to score three goals in a game can be called ‘hat tricks’, and scoring four goals in a game is called ‘Big Four Happiness,
so what should be called scoring five goals in a game?
In addition, Messi's 49 Champions League goals also tied the number of Champions League goals for Real Madrid legend Di Stefano.
Another reporter said that Messi’s performance made him afraid to write because he didn’t know how to write. He complained: "Reporting Messi is the most distressing job in the world, because it feels like nothing is written, everything is a routine." "...I don't know how to praise Messi anymore, because I can think of All the words that praise him have run out!"
But who can ignore such a five-ball player in a single game, so even if you don't know how to write, the reporters must be stubborn.
After Messi won five yuan alone, even the players expressed their admiration for Messi.
For example, "Alien" Ronaldo even swears: "He played really well!"
Rooney said that Messi's performance was like a joke.
More players said that Messi is the highest version player in video games...
The whole world seemed to be lying under Messi’s feet, touching his toes with his forehead, expressing how they mortals felt when they saw the gods.
The German media also felt it was unfortunate that Dortmund got Barcelona.
Originally they also expected Dortmund to break through last season's results and go further, reaching the semifinals of the Champions League.
It now appears that Dortmund's Champions League road this season is coming to an end.
It's a pity, but what else can I do when I come across Barcelona?

When the Champions League opponents came out, Zhou Yi was interviewed by reporters and he was asked questions about Barcelona.
"Barcelona is very powerful." Zhou Yi said the truth as soon as he came up. "I don't think I need to repeat how powerful they are? But since we are drawn together, we must have the determination to fight them. There is nothing to say."
"Some people say that you and Harvey have a similar playing style."
"Harvey is an amazing player. It's an honor to be similar to him." Zhou Yi did not emphasize that he was himself, Harvey was Harvey, and he didn't feel any disgrace to Harvey.
"Does this mean that your playing style is similar to Barcelona's football style, and will you consider going to Barcelona in the future?" The question was from a reporter from Barcelona, ​​with some Catalan in his German The accent of the language, Zhou Yi once heard He Ying holding the textbook to read Catalan, so he is somewhat familiar.
He shook his head: "When playing against Barcelona~EbookFREE.me~ I won't answer this question."
He knew what the Catalan reporter wanted-if he showed respect to Barcelona as he did before answering the question, then the reporter would probably turn to write that he wanted to join Barcelona. Before the quarter-finals of the Champions League, this would make him irritated.
This will also shake Dortmund's military heart. No matter how he explained it, he could not stop some people from thinking, "Maybe Zhou Yi really wants to go to Barcelona. After all, who can refuse the call of a team like Barcelona?"
This kind of thing will definitely affect the team's preparation for the Champions League quarter-finals.
But the Catalan reporter did not want to let this opportunity go easily, so he asked: "Can we talk after the quarter-finals?"
Seeing this reporter Zhou Yi was exhausting, he tirelessly wanted to pull himself into the water, so he decided to take the initiative to end this boring assumption. He said to the Catalan reporter with a smile: "I have rejected Barcelona once. So I think I can totally refuse Barcelona again."
