Chapter 212 Real Madrid Real Madrid
The lottery ceremony began, and the multi-purpose hall of the training base fell silent, with all the players staring at the screens.

The venue first played two short films, one was the first UEFA Champions League final 50 years ago, and the other was a brief review of the current group stage.

What's interesting is that in the Arsenal clip in the second short film, both Henry and Quaresma are out, and Quaresma's out time is a few seconds longer than Henry's.

Although this may be due to the more exciting goals of Quaresma and the more eye-catching performance in several group matches in the Champions League, it is undeniable that to some extent this is also a reflection of the player's status.

It has been widely acknowledged at least that, in a short period of time, Quaresma has become one of Arsenal's leading stars, along with Thierry Henry.

This is not the qualifications that Quaresma obtained by dawdling around, but by virtue of his strength, and no one can find fault with it.

After the short film ended, UEFA CEO Olsson kept nagging on the stage. Although his main purpose was to announce the rules of the draw, it may be because he was too excited to speak in front of so many people. Knowing where the topic has gone, if not for a special staff member reminding him, Quaresma swears that he will be able to hear about the postpartum care of sows in a while.

Finally, Olsson finished speaking, and the drawing of lots officially began.

All eyes were on Olsson, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the first red ball he drew was Chelsea.

And something even more unbelievable happened, and the green ball that Olsson drew out turned out to be Barcelona, ​​a giant in La Liga.

Not only was there an uproar at the scene, but even a burst of exclamation sounded in the multi-purpose hall of the Kearney training base.

"Chelsea and Barcelona had a tough fight last season, and now they met again in the first knockout round?"

"Uefa doesn't shy away from others when it's shady now?"

"It's a good show. Chelsea beats Barcelona. It's best to lose both sides. Then Chelsea eliminates Barcelona. We have a chance to miss out in the Premier League!"

No wonder everyone reacted like this. In the round of 16 last season, Barcelona and Chelsea met together. The two rounds were soul-stirring. It was an inspiration. In the end, Chelsea eliminated Barcelona in the second round at home and advanced to the quarterfinals. .

But now, the road to enemies is narrow, and the two teams once again met in the round of 16. No one believes that UEFA is not messing around.

Speaking of which, both Chelsea and Barcelona are actually the favorites to win the Champions League. It is not a good thing to meet so early.

But who knows what kind of consideration UEFA will make such an arrangement, Quaresma is not known.

As for what is said to be a complete coincidence, this kind of statement should not be used to insult IQ.

Quaresma couldn't help but want to laugh. Others don't know, but he knows it very well. Barcelona and Chelsea meet again, and it's a mess. It feels more exciting than the Champions League final.
Well, now silently pray that there will be no deviation in history, and let Barcelona eliminate Chelsea. Quaresma doesn't care what method Barcelona uses. Anyway, as long as there is no problem in the result, he is still waiting to meet Barcelona in the Champions League final!
Just when everyone was surprised by the result of the first draw, Olsson had already drawn another red ball, and it was revealed that the red ball belonged to Real Madrid.

Quaresma's eyes lit up, but playing Real Madrid is actually not bad.

Although it seems that the Galaxy Battleship is still star-studded, in fact, it is riddled with holes inside, which is far less scary than it looks.

The superstars are all old, and there is no way to maintain their state. Maybe the offense is still very impressive in the game, but the defense is not good at all.

Facing such a Real Madrid that is about to disintegrate, Quaresmarco has [-]% confidence.

"Arsenal!"

Quaresma suddenly let out a low cry, and all the team members turned their heads in unison, staring at Quaresma.

"Don't get excited, I mean it's not bad if we touch Real Madrid!"

At this time, Olsson had already drawn out the green ball, opened it up and displayed it, and it was clearly Arsenal.

All the team members looked at Quaresma in disbelief, and the facts in front of them made them feel unbelievable.

Quaresma actually guessed right?
"Has your mouth been blessed by the Pope?"

"Oh my God, we're touching Real Madrid, I'm on the verge of an orgasm!"

"Riccardo has a crow's mouth, why don't I want to touch Arsenal at all!"

"Damn it, Ricardo, what nonsense are you talking about? Isn't it good to beat Benfica or something easily?"

After the shock of the animals, they started yelling, and the multi-purpose hall was in chaos.

Quaresma was also a little dazed, he never thought that he actually met Real Madrid.

Steady!

No matter what others think, Quaresma is not worried at all anyway, on the contrary, he is extremely excited.

Even though the strength of the Galaxy Battleship has dropped a lot now, it is still a Galaxy Battleship. This season is the last chance to meet them. Wouldn't it be a pity if we couldn't meet them?
No one cares about the next draw, and no matter what the remaining results are, it will not affect Arsenal.

However, Quaresma still watched the lottery honestly, maybe he could evoke some memories of his previous life!

Bayern met AC Milan. This is already the third pair of strong dialogues, but Quaresma knows that Bayern at this time may really not be Milan's opponent.

As for the rest of the duels, they are all strong and weak, and there is not much to watch.

When the draw is over, Quaresma still has a little bit of regret, because there is no Porto in the top 16 of the Champions League.

The Portuguese Super League team that broke out of the group stage is Benfica, Porto's mortal enemy.

Because Porto has sold too many stars this summer, Porto is almost in a slump. Even if Da Costa has made a lot of money, he can't avoid a little regret.

Quaresma fell into contemplation unconsciously. It would be great if Porto can also reach the top 16. Maybe Arsenal will have a chance to touch Porto. It will be interesting then.

But it is a pity that Porto is in Group H, divided with Inter Milan, Rangers and Bratislava. As a result, the shameful ranking is the bottom of the group, and even the Slovakian team Bratislava has not played.

Well, there is no chance this season, and next season, Porto will always have a day of resurgence. Quaresma firmly believes in this.

But at that time, Quaresma didn't know how far he had grown. When he met his old club, it might be a killing show. I hope that Porto fans will see it for the sake of playing for Porto. Come on, just don't boo yourself!
