Only Arsenal's award-winning players can be in the world's best meeting Watch the drawing ceremony that attracts worldwide attention, and the winning players will also have the opportunity to participate in the drawing.

The 32 teams participating in the UEFA Champions League group stage draw are composed of 22 teams that directly advance to the group stage and 10 teams that pass through the qualifying rounds. The 32 teams are divided into four pots according to the points of the European war.According to the lottery rules, each team cannot meet with teams of the same level, teams from the same league will not appear in the same group, and the order of home and away games will be determined after the draw.Pot [-] is the seeded teams, including Inter Milan, Barcelona, ​​Manchester United, Chelsea, Arsenal, Bayern, AC Milan and Lyon.Pot [-] teams include Hoffenheim, Real Madrid, Roma, Shakhtar Donetsk, Benfica, Valencia, Marseille, Panathinaikos.Pot [-] teams are Tottenham, Rangers, Ajax, Schalke, Basel, Braga, Copenhagen, Spartak Moscow.Pot [-]: The teams are Hapoel Tel Aviv, Twente, Rubin Kazan, Auxerre, Cluj, Partizan Belgrade, Slina, Busasburg.

The first seeded team was drawn first, and the guests who drew the lottery were the Arsenal goalkeeper Almunia who won the best goalkeeper and England's legendary striker Gary Lineker.The first drawn team, Manchester United, was assigned to Group C, while Barcelona was assigned to Group D. After that, AC Milan, Bayern, Lyon, Inter Milan, Arsenal and Chelsea were in Group G, Group E, and Group B respectively. , Group A, Group H and Group F are in place.

This time the lottery was only to determine the lottery, and the VIPs at the scene and the audience in front of the TV did not have any emotional fluctuations.The teams in the second and third tiers are one of the key factors that determine the quality of each group.

The second time the team is very strong, except for Panathinaikos and Shakhtar Donetsk, the other teams are all strong; especially Real Madrid coached by Mourinho, Rome in Italy, and Marseille in France .In the third tier, Schalke 04, third in the Bundesliga, and Tottenham, fourth in the Premier League, are slightly stronger.Even among the fourth-tier teams, there are hidden dangerous teams, such as Rubin Kazan in the Russian Super League and Twente, the Eredivisie champions last season.

Then the second-tier team was drawn. Li Huan, who just won the best player in the Champions League and the main player in the Champions League, drew Valencia first to be in Group C with Manchester United. The second team was drawn The second-tier team is Real Madrid, which has attracted the most attention. Galacticos is once again in the same group as AC Milan!Roma met Bayern, Benfica and Lyon were in Group B, and Miners were drawn into Group H, the same group as Arsenal.The 6th draw is the Greek team Panathinaikos, who share the same points with Barcelona in Group D.The seventh drawn team is Marseille, in the same group as Chelsea.The last one drawn was Hoffenheim, who was in Group A with the same points as Inter Milan.

The draw for the second tier of teams is completely different from the first tier draw. Seeing that they are drawn with the teams they want or don't want, many people have regrets, smiles, calm and anger on their faces. Different emotions, but no one is desperate yet, because there are two qualifying places in the group stage, and fans all over the world are excitedly waiting for the result of the draw.

The happiest teams are naturally Arsenal and Barcelona. The two technical teams had the best luck in today's draw. They even met Shakhtar Donetsk and Panathinaikos. The representatives of other teams in the conference hall looked Looking at Barcelona and Arsenal, they are all thinking about this time with malicious intentions, and some people are still guessing something in a low voice.

After Cesc Fabregas was elected the best midfielder, he began to be responsible for drawing the third tier team.Glasgow Rangers were first drawn into Group C, alongside Manchester United and Valencia.Nordic powerhouse Copenhagen entered Group D with Barcelona and Panathinaikos.Tottenham in the Premier League were drawn into Group A, in the same group as Inter Milan and Bremen.The fourth team to be drawn is Russia's Spartak Moscow, in Group F with Chelsea and Marseille.Swiss powerhouse Basel is drawn into Group E, the same group as Bayern and Roma.Portuguese super dark horse Braga was drawn into Group H to meet Arsenal and Shakhtar Donetsk.The seventh drawn team is Ajax, in Group G with AC Milan and Real Madrid!In the end, Schalke 7 was drawn into Group B and met Lyon and Benfica.

At this moment, except for Arsenal and Barcelona, ​​the eyes of the representatives of all teams are red. There is no need to watch the following draw ceremony. Arsenal and Barcelona are conservatively placed in the quarterfinals. These two teams are the strongest among the top 32 teams. , Their luck is so good that everyone feels angry, their strength is so strong, their luck is still so good, is it possible that next year's Wembley Grand Winery will stage a technical PK again.

The luckiest are Arsenal and Barcelona. The worst luck is Real Madrid and AC Milan in Group G. They have won the Eredivisie champion and four-time Champions League winner Ajax. It is impossible to say how strong these three teams are. , The number of times the three teams have won the Champions League is enough to make people speechless, 20 times, this is an extremely terrifying number, it seems that UEFA completely wants to engage in a gimmick Champions League match.

After the three-tier teams are ranked, the final draw for the fourth-tier teams is a bit boring. The Romanian team Cluj is drawn into Group E to meet Bayern, Roma and Basel.Turkey's Busasburg was drawn into Group C, and Auxerre was drawn into Group G, forming a death group with AC Milan, Real Madrid and Ajax.Ruby Kazan was assigned to Group D and met Barcelona again.The fifth drawn team is Srina, in the same group as Chelsea.Hapoel Tel Aviv was drawn into Group B, Twente into Group A and Partizan Belgrade into Group H.

Group E: Bayern, Roma, Basel, Cluj
Group F: Chelsea, Marseille, Spartak Moscow, Slina

"... UEFA's UEFA Champions League draw ceremony has come to an end. Arsenal and Barcelona have become the lucky ones. This is the luck of the strong, while Real Madrid, which is 16 years old every year, and AC Milan, the European home for the elderly, have become the unluckiest. An unlucky guy..." commented Duan Xuan, the live broadcast commentator of the court station.

Tao Wei, Duan Xuan's partner, smiled and said, "The group of death in the World Cup is Group G, and the group of death in the UEFA Champions League is also Group G. Is this a coincidence? AC Milan won 7 titles, Real Madrid won 9 titles, and Ajax won 4 titles." , A total of 20 championships in Group G puts other teams to shame, Auxerre is really under pressure."

Duan Xuan said with a chuckle: "Auxerre said that there is no pressure, because the outside world will never think that they will advance."

The commentary on the Spanish TV station believes that the death group in the UEFA Champions League draw is not Group G, but Group A where Inter Milan is.

"Group G is not the group of death at all. Take a closer look, AC's current strength? Can it shake Real Madrid? Ajax? Forget it. Let alone Auxerre. In fact, the group of death is Group A, Inter Milan , Hoffenheim, Tottenham, Twente.

Hoffenheim used to be the champion of the European Champions Cup, playing crazy, anything can happen. A mature Tottenham must be a very strong team this year, Twente is the new league champion of the Eredivisie, it goes without saying that Inter Milan So, Group A is the group of death, and Group B is the same. Lyon, Benfica, Schalke, Tel Aviv, these teams are very close in strength, and they all have a chance to qualify, so they will fight! In Group C, it depends on whether Valencia can stop the top two in the UK, Manchester United and Rangers. In Group D, if Basha's schedule is not good, if the away games against Kazan and Copenhagen are both after November, he will feel better. Don't forget the 11-2 victory over Basha in last year's Champions League in Kazan. Group E is the battle for the top spot between Bayern and Roma, and it is also the ranking competition between the two leagues. Chelsea dominate Group F. In Group G, Real Madrid must be first in the group. Group H, I am optimistic about the miners. "

The British TV station expressed satisfaction with the draw cautiously, "Group C: Manchester United, Valencia, Glasgow Rangers, Bussersburg, Valencia and Glasgow Rangers are not weak, but there is no possibility of threatening Manchester United. Group F: Chelsea, Marseille, Spartak Moscow, Srina. In this group, Chelsea directly locked the right to qualify for the group. Not to mention Group H. Many people think that the other three teams are here to serve as a foil for Arsenal. of."

The results of the 2010-11 UEFA Champions League group stage draw were announced, and major European bookmakers immediately adjusted the odds of winning the Champions League. Barcelona ranked first with 4.00 times. Although Real Madrid was in the death group, they still won. 6.00 times ranked second, the defending champion Arsenal only ranked third.Chelsea ranked No.3 with 6.50 times, and Manchester United ranked No.4 with 7.00 times.
