After the Champions League quarter-finals are released, everyone is most concerned about the quarter-final match.
The current Champions League knockout stage is to draw lots every time to decide the match.
Even if it reaches the semi-final stage, it is also necessary to draw lots to decide the opponents.
This approach increases uncertainty and enhances the suspense of the event, making it more eye-catching.
Of course, "conspiracy theorists" believe that this increases the chance of UEFA intervening and controlling the match in each stage of the knockout stage.
But in fact, there are only so many teams that can reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Unless there is a sudden emergence of dark horses, they are familiar faces almost every year.
The chances of encountering are also relatively high.
These teams will always accumulate some grievances in the collision of the Champions League for many years.
So every time we meet, there are topics to hype up.
They were not drawn together simply for the convenience of hyping gimmicks.
It is true that there are only so many materials, no matter how innovative it is, it is difficult to come up with any new tricks.
Take a look at the quarter-finals of the Champions League this time, which one is not a battle-hardened hero?
Which one shouldn't be in the top eight?
It's normal for whoever meets whom, and it's normal for whoever doesn't.
It's really just an encounter, and there are no other gimmicks.
For example, isn't it normal for the Pirates of Madrid and the King of Madrid to meet? It is definitely not a draw that UEFA can create to hype the rivalry between Hulai and Meli.
Otherwise, the King of Madrid and Catalan United cannot be drawn together, or they will deliberately create a "national derby" in the Champions League. But in fact, the two teams met in the quarterfinals last season...
In the same way, considering the recent "little grievance" between Hu Lai and the Catalan United, if the Madrid Pirates and the Catalan United are together, it must be UEFA's deliberate manipulation of the draw result.
If Catalonia meets Manchester Athletic, then the media can hype up a wave of grievances between Kabangka and Manchester Athletic.
Tramed and Manchester Athletic cannot be grouped together because that is the "Manchester derby" in the Champions League.
Tramed is yet to face Stan Park Rangers, the "England derby" in the Champions League.
From the looks of it, it seems that only the Ruhrlein and Amsterdam Athletics are "natural" and "without human interference".
But sometimes the "reasonable choice" that avoids all "deliberate choices" is probably the "most deliberate and unreasonable choice"
Chinese fans don't really care about this. They start to struggle before the quarter-final draw as usual-whether they want the Chinese players to meet in the quarter-finals or not.
Hope to meet is of course because it ensures that at least one person can reach the Champions League semi-finals.
If you don’t want to meet, you think that with the performance of Chinese players in the Champions League this season, maybe they can reach the semi-finals of the Champions League without meeting?
Wouldn't it be possible to have a "grand occasion" in which three Chinese players have reached the semi-finals in the Champions League?
To this end, all Chinese fans turned into probabilists and began to arrange and combine them to analyze various possibilities.
Then after the official draw results of UEFA came out, some people were happy and some were worried.

Group 1 Champions League quarter-finals:
Defending champions Madrid Pirates face Manchester Athletic.
This is a new matchup in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in recent years.
But the media still have gimmicks to fry, because when Hu Lai was in Leeds City, he and Manchester Athletic were title rivals. At the same time, Kabangka can also be drawn in and followed by a wave of speculation-because Hu Lai's only victory against Manchester Athletic was when Kabangka did not play.
If Hu Lai can lead the Madrid Pirates to eliminate Manchester Athletic this time, then the media can take the opportunity to run on Manchester Athletic and say, "Sure enough, you can't win Hu Lai without Kabonka!"
Of course, Manchester Athletic also has something to say: "The Catalan United has Kabonka, and I haven't seen it win Hu Lai!"
In short, this kind of thing that "the public said that the public is reasonable and the mother said that the mother is reasonable" is the most favorite thing in the media.
Because it is difficult to reach a consensus, as long as there are differences, there will be quarrels, and if there are quarrels, there will be traffic and popularity.
The media depends on traffic and popularity to survive.
Challenging is their innate skill.

The second group against the Ruhrlein and the King of Madrid.
Ruhrlein's momentum this season is very strong. Their center, Janus Edmann, is becoming more and more mature. At the age of 20, he has been killing in the Bundesliga and the Champions League this season.
The reason why Ruhrlein was able to eliminate last season's Premier League champion London Bridge in the Champions League quarter-finals was because of Edman's hat-trick at home in the second round, helping Ruhrlein beat London Bridge 3:1.
Ruhrlein, who is gaining momentum, meets the King of Madrid, who is in a state of ups and downs. This game also has a lot to watch.
After being hit by Hu Lai in the past two seasons, Meli's dominance is not as convincing as before.
And Edman has always been the target of the King of Madrid trying to introduce, and I don't know whether this confrontation will allow the King of Madrid to continue to seduce him to Madrid.
In particular, the failure in the league this season has deepened many people's concerns about the offensive firepower of the King of Madrid. Everyone could see that Meli alone would not be able to bring the behemoth king.
