Chapter 192 The Eighth Opponent
After the match between Atletico Madrid and Leverkusen, the results of the quarter-finals of the Champions League in other games have also been announced. After this round of competition, all the top eight teams in the competition have been produced.

In La Liga, Real Madrid was defeated by the Bundesliga team Schalke 04 with a score of [-] to [-] at home. If Real Madrid hadn't defeated their opponents [-] to [-] in the away game, Real Madrid's road to promotion would still be very thrilling.With a [-]-[-] victory at home, Barcelona eliminated the Premier League giants with a total score of [-]-[-] and successfully reached the quarter-finals. However, the local tycoon Manchester City once again fell at the feet of Barcelona. Champions League quarter-finals.

Other teams that are close to the quarter-finals include Serie A giants Juventus, Ligue [-] teams Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco, Bundesliga team Bayern Munich, and Porto from the Portuguese Super League.The Premier League teams were wiped out in the last sixteen, and all of them missed the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Once again, three teams in La Liga finally broke into the quarter-finals. For Spanish football, this is the grand occasion of Spanish football in the past two years. , and Barcelona in the past ten years has been the most glorious period in the history of the Barcelona team. Coupled with the strong rise of Atletico Madrid, La Liga forces have occupied an increasingly strong position in the Champions League.

The last time a league could be so strong was the Premier League from 2006 to 2009. At that time, there were three Premier League teams among the top four teams in the Champions League for three consecutive years, but since 2009.The status of the Premier League team in the Champions League began to decline. After Chelsea reached the Champions League final in the 2011-2012 season and won the championship, since the beginning of the 2012-2013 season, no Premier League team has reached the semi-finals for three consecutive years. up.

The same is true this season, and there are no Premier League teams even in the quarter-finals.Instead, the rulers are the troika of La Liga roaring past in the UEFA Champions League, becoming the protagonist on the field.

After the list of the quarter-finals was released, UEFA conducted a draw for the quarter-finals. The first round of the quarter-finals will be held on April 21 and April 22.The second round will take place a week later on April [-] and April [-].

When drawing lots for the top [-], teams from the same country will not face each other, and teams from the same group will not meet each other. However, in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, the rules of the draw do not have these restrictions. up.

There are three La Liga teams reaching the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and it is also very likely that there will be a situation where La Liga teams catch up with each other.

Sure enough, after the results of the draw came out, Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, the Madrid enemies, were drawn together.This draw is not a good draw for the two teams. Real Madrid does not have any advantage in facing Atletico Madrid. Similarly, Atletico Madrid will be a little embarrassed when facing Real Madrid.The two teams have played against each other four times this season, and both sides know each other well, which is not an easy nut to crack.

And Barcelona drew Paris Saint-Germain. This season, Barcelona's state is bursting, but Paris Saint-Germain is not a team to mess with.Nasser, the owner of Paris Saint-Germain, is a local tyrant who can earn a steady stream of dollars by turning on the oil valve.You must know that Nasser himself is the first heir to the death of Qatar, and the chairman of the Qatar Sports Investment Fund. According to conservative estimates by authoritative organizations, his personal assets are as high as 600 billion U.S. dollars.Backed by such a big benefactor, Paris Saint-Germain acquired an almost all-star lineup.The Brazilian combination of Swedish god Ibrahimovic, Uruguayan striker Cavani, Italian genius midfielder Verratti, and David Luiz and Thiago Silva at the center back, such a set The fighting power of Paris Saint-Germain composed of lineup should not be underestimated.

On the whole, the La Liga teams’ luck in the quarter-finals is not very good, especially compared with other teams. Won the "Top Eight Gift Package" - Porto, the Portuguese Super League team.

When the result of the draw came out, many Spanish media alluded that UEFA was preparing to suppress La Liga, which has been strong in the Champions League for the past two years. However, these rumors can only arouse heated discussions among fans. But no team dares to say that.

Real Madrid is full of confidence. Ramos said that Real Madrid's record against Atletico Madrid this season is not bad, especially in the two rounds of the Copa del Rey. Atletico Madrid was eliminated by Real Madrid, which made Real Madrid more confident Increase.

For Real Madrid, it is obviously a shame that Atletico Madrid snatched the Champions League trophy from their mouths in the Champions League final last year. Therefore, their whole team faced this game with an attitude of revenge.

"Atletico Madrid is very strong, but the team that wins the game and reaches the semi-finals can only be Real Madrid."

Real Madrid vice-captain Ramos spoke very hard in an interview.

Speaking of it, Real Madrid is indeed a difficult opponent to deal with, but Atletico Madrid does not need to show weakness-Atletico Madrid has a dominant record against Real Madrid in recent years, and Real Madrid did not get any cheap from Atletico Madrid.

Moreover, in the two rounds of the Copa del Rey this season, Atletico Madrid was eliminated by Real Madrid in the absence of Li Qingshan. What Real Madrid eliminated was not a complete version of Atletico Madrid.

Of course, when Li Qingshan was interviewed, he didn't say that Li Qingshan's team was eliminated in the King's Cup because of the lack of him - such offending words would not come out of Li Qingshan's mouth.

"Real Madrid is indeed a very strong opponent. It is a pity that we did not meet them in the final this time." Li Qingshan said solemnly.

The reporters quickly realized what Li Qingshan was regretting: last season's final where Mars hit the earth is still fresh in people's memory.

The subtext in Li Qingshan's words is easy to catch.

"Do you think Atletico Madrid can still reach the final this year?" asked the reporter.

"Our goal is to win the Champions League!" Li Qingshan said firmly.

"But since the restructuring of the Champions League, no team has successfully defended the title."

"Of course it is difficult to succeed in Sleepless, but aren't all records meant to be broken? Who can say that we can't break this record?"

"But before that, you still need to face the opponent Real Madrid." The reporter brought the topic back to the quarter-finals.

"Of course, of course, I have no disrespect for Real Madrid, but this opponent is not too bad for us. I can't wait to face this game."

Li Qingshan expressed his belief in victory lightly, and he was not timid because his opponent was the mighty Real Madrid.
