Chapter 421: Knockout match

The UEFA Champions League group stage of the season is all over, and the situation of each group is also different.
　　 But generally speaking, the final qualifying teams of each group are not too surprised.
　　 There are only two slightly unexpected groups, group G and group H, and the last two groups.
　　 Group G is the group Chelsea is in. The turbulent Chelsea took the first place in the group, but the second team in the group is more surprising, it is Dynamo Kyiv of Ukraine.
　　 Although Dynamo Kyiv is one of the two dominant teams in Ukraine, it has only been able to dominate the country in recent years. In the European war, it still depends on Shakhtar Donetsk supporting the Ukrainian league.
　　 Mine works for the Ukrainian local tycoon team, a large number of semi-finished players from South America are drawn, after processing, they are sold to the five major leagues.
　　 Because of this, in recent years in the Champions League, Shakhtar Donetsk has often made it to the knockout stage and won the Europa League during the season.
　　 But in the case of Dynamo Kyiv, the last time they made the Champions League knockouts, it dates back to the 1990s when the nuclear warhead Shevchenko led the team.
　　 And now, Shevchenko has retired three or four years.
　　 Speaking of it, Shevchenko did explode when he was in Dynamo Kyiv. In addition to dominating the domestic league, he has been brave in the Champions League for two consecutive years.
　　 Leading the team to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, Shevchenko has such a good game as a hat trick at the Nou Camp.
　　 In the season, he helped Dynamo Kyiv reach the Champions League semi-finals, and he himself was elected to the Champions League Golden Boot that season.
　　 At that time, the quarterfinals faced the defending champion Real Madrid, and Shevchenko scored three goals in two rounds and helped his team eliminate Real Madrid 3:1.
　　 Faced Bayern in the semi-finals, and Shevchenko scored twice at Bayern’s home stadium to help the team get a 3:3 draw.
　　 Just when everyone thought Dynamo Kyiv was going to the end, they lost 0:1 at home to Bayern in the second round and were eliminated.
　　 It is precisely because of this that the Nou Camp miracle in the UEFA Champions League final, Manchester United scored two goals in overtime and turned Bayern.
　　 Speaking of, the two most famous comebacks in the history of the Champions League finals, the reversed teams all encountered dark horses in the semi-finals and then passed the thriller.
　　 The miracle of the Nou Camp in 1999, Bayern was almost killed by Shevchenko’s dark polo team Dynamo Kyiv in the semifinals.
In the miracle of Istanbul in 2005, AC Milan faced Eindhoven led by Park Ji-sung, Van Bommel and Cocu in the semi-finals. At that time, Milan won 2-0 at home in the first round, but was almost overturned in the second round on the away game. With Ambrosini's injury-time buzzer goal, he lost 1:3 in a thrilling away game, and then advanced with the slight advantage of that away goal, so he faced Liverpool's shocking defeat in the final.
　　 Now, Dynamo Kyiv has once again reached the Champions League knockouts after a lapse of more than ten years, which has caused a wave of news in the European media that cherishes Ukrainian nuclear warheads.
　　 The biggest unpopular group in the Champions League this season is Group H. The four teams in the group are Lyon, Valencia, Zenit St. Petersburg and Ghent.
　　 Such a group is completely a standard rookie pecking group.
　　 But among the four rookies, everyone still thinks that Lyon and Valencia will join hands to qualify. After all, they are the best teams in the five major leagues, and they have rich experience in the Champions League.
　　 At the end of the final group stage, the qualifying situation was completely opposite. Zenit and Gent joined hands to qualify, while Lyon and Valencia went out.
As a local tycoon in the Russian Super League, Zenit grabbed a spot for everyone to understand. After all, they had also scored in the Champions League knockout round before, but as the new Belgian team to participate in the Champions League for the first time, they also grabbed a spot. , Really surprising.
　　 The UEFA Champions League group stage is over, and the next round is the draw for the top 16 that everyone is most looking forward to.
Of the 16 teams that have qualified in the Champions League this season, the strong teams have basically won the first place in the group, and the only two groups that may be difficult to deal with are second, namely, Paris and Juventus. Paris is squeezed into the group by Real Madrid. The second one went up, and Juventus lost the chain by himself and was robbed of the group first by Manchester City.
　　 For Liverpool, as long as they avoid Paris and Juventus, it is not a big problem to basically advance to the quarterfinals.
　　 However, Liverpool fans have been a little restless recently. Many of them have expressed their hope that the team can draw Juventus or Paris.
　　 Draw the strong team, just to fight against the opponent, happy to win, and to go back to play the league with peace of mind, and strive to win the Premier League championship.

　　 In the final round of the Champions League group stage, the most beautiful team is undoubtedly Real Madrid, they beat Malmo 8:0 at home.
　　 The score of 8:0 has tied the record of the largest single game score created by Liverpool in the season after the Champions League reform.
　　 And it is very interesting that in these two 8:0 games, the head coach is the same person, that is, the Spanish tactician Benitez.
　　 Benitez’s current life in Real Madrid is quite difficult. This big score is abusive, and I don’t know if he can help him ease it.
　　 In Real Madrid's home win, Benzema completed a hat-trick, and Ronaldo completed the big four.
　　 This big four is the first time Ronaldo has won a big four in the Champions League in his career.
　　 And after adding this big four, Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 11 goals in the Champions League group stage this season. This is the latest Champions League group match goal record.
　　 The record that Li Chenglong only tied in the last round has now been refreshed by Ronaldo.
In the Champions League scorer list after the end of the group stage, Cristiano Ronaldo once again won the first place with 11 goals, Lee Chenglong ranked second with 9 goals, followed by Lewandowski with 7 goals, 6 Suarez scored a goal.
　　 Messi missed half of the group stage, and currently only three goals have been scored.
