Arsenal, who got the lottery in the last round, were getting more and more unlucky. This time they got the lottery. Their opponent is Barcelona from La Liga, who is also the second favorite in the Champions League.In addition, Real Madrid's signing luck was good. They drew Tottenham Hotspur, which has no experience in the Champions League. Inter Milan, which was luckier than Real Madrid, drew Schalke 04. Basically, there is no big problem in advancing, and Manchester United's luck is also average. , their opponent is Chelsea in the same league.

In terms of the division of the half area, Arsenal, Barcelona, ​​​​Real Madrid, and Tottenham Hotspur are in one and a half areas, while Inter Milan, Schalke 04, Manchester United, and Chelsea are in one and a half areas.If you are lucky, this season's Champions League final may be arranged by the Premier League team and become an FA Cup or League Cup final.

This draw gave birth to four major points of interest, 1. Whether Real Madrid and Barcelona can advance; whether Real Madrid and Barcelona can advance is not only because of the reputation of the two teams, but also because the two teams are divided into one and a half areas. The Spanish derby was staged in the semi-finals of the Champions League.If the semi-finals really match up like this, then Real Madrid and Barcelona will have 4 more games this season (1 league game, 1 King's Cup final, 2 Champions League games).For Mourinho, who was swept by Barcelona 5-0 in the first round of the league, now he is given too many opportunities for revenge, and he needs to grasp it tightly.

2 is Italy and Germany competing for the third league. In the 1/8 finals, Inter Milan encountered the Bundesliga overlord Bayern. After entering the top 8, Inter Milan once again encountered a German team: Schalke.Serie A and Bundesliga are in fierce competition in the league standings. The performance of the two leagues in the Champions League this season is similar. Now Bundesliga has surpassed Serie A to become the third league in Europe.Judging from the current points, Inter Milan's complete victory can help Serie A's points overtake Bundesliga (Germany and Italy are only left with Schalke and Inter Milan in the European competition this season), so that Serie A can continue to play in the top 4 next season. Champions League, otherwise They only have three places, while the Bundesliga has four places.

3. Can Arsenal break the curse of the quarter-finals again? After the restructuring of the Champions League, the defending champions have died in the quarter-finals. Except for Manchester United in 09 who reached the quarter-finals. Now it depends on whether Arsenal can break the curse. keep going.

4. Real Madrid Law.After the players leave Real Madrid, the "Real Madrid Law" that the Champions League must have good results is coming out.Last year, Sneijder and Arjen Robben, who were abandoned by Real Madrid, represented Inter Milan and Bayern respectively and broke into the semi-finals of the Champions League.This year, the protagonists who changed their fate became the former Real Madrid banner Raul and Van der Vaart, who was not valued by Mourinho. As a result, Schalke and Tottenham also successfully advanced to the quarterfinals. Now let’s see if they can reach the quarterfinals. powerful.

After the lottery, the British media quickly commented on the result of the lottery:
Sky Sports took Manchester United's meeting with Chelsea as the headline, saying that Manchester United and Chelsea will meet again in the Champions League after the 2008 Champions League final, saying that if Ancelotti wants to win the first Champions League for Chelsea, he must first overcome his rivals in the same country This hurdle, and in the league clash last month, Chelsea beat Manchester United 2-1 at home, and Sky Sports also lamented that Tottenham have met the winner after eliminating Milan, which has won the second most Champions League. Real Madrid has the most number of Champions League games, and if they advance, they will also encounter defending champions Arsenal or No. [-] favorite Barcelona, ​​which will be very difficult.

"Bild" stated that it was a test for Schalke to meet Inter Milan, which eliminated Bayern, but the newspaper also paid attention to Real Madrid's two German players Ozil and Khedira.

How Rangnick defends the attack of the defending champion of the Champions League will be the biggest challenge for this only German seedling in the two quarter-finals. Problems, and once they qualify, they will face the winner between Manchester United and Chelsea, which is also very difficult to deal with.The magazine also believes that there is a great chance that Arsenal and Real Madrid will meet in the semi-finals. Of course, it will be more difficult for Real Madrid to advance, because Tottenham has former Real Madrid and Hamburg player Van der Vaart.

"Gazzetta dello Sport" said in a more relaxed tone that Inter Milan has drawn their Bundesliga opponents again this time, but they will meet the winner between Manchester United and Chelsea in the semi-finals, and Inter Milan/Shaker will play first in the semi-finals. At home, this will be a disadvantage for Inter Milan.

"Corriere dello Sport" used Inter Milan's lucky draw to Schalke 04 as the headline. The newspaper believed that Inter Milan, which performed much worse than last season, was drawn to the Bundesliga team. The opponent is Manchester United or Chelsea, one of the Premier League duo.
