Chapter 610: Champions League Situation

After Real Madrid successfully won the Champions League quarter-finals tickets, Barcelona and Messi finally achieved redemption at the Nou Camp. The Argentine star contributed twice and helped the team beat AC Milan 4-0.

The Catalan team was able to come back with a total score of 4:2, becoming the first club in the history of the Champions League to lose 0:2 in the first leg and reverse the promotion.

It is not surprising that such a miracle is placed on Barcelona, ​​​​because their strength is originally higher than other teams. When Messi regains his best form, Barcelona is the most powerful contender for the championship.

But another club in La Liga can enter the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which surprised many people. That is the extremely embarrassing Malaga. They also lost first and then won, with a total score of 2:1 to advance to Porto.

The era of "Manchester City" in La Liga is gone forever. Last summer, the Arab owners suddenly withdrew their capital, many absolute main players were lost, and even the wages of the players could not be paid, so that the outside world generally believed that the team was on the verge of collapse and relegation was inevitable.

The head coach Manuel Pellegrini, who can be called the "Chilean engineer", was not reconciled to all previous efforts in vain. He chose to stay and inject a tenacious spirit into the team. He defended firmly while actively fighting back. The players did not fail. his expectations.

If the time goes back another ten years, Malaga's lineup can be called luxurious, with Saviola, Santa Cruz and Baptista in the forwards, Joaquin in the midfield, and Demichelis and Lugano in the defense. , But now this group of people are just veterans who have entered the end of their careers and no one cares about them.

The former golden boy Hua Jin is rejuvenated in his second spring. He is unstoppable when he gallops freely on the sidewalk. Breakthroughs and overtaking from outsiders make it impossible to see that he is 32 years old.

Saviola is even more amazing. After being waived by the Portuguese Super League Benfica last season, he joined Malaga at a very low price. As a result, he was a fish in water in the head coach's counterattack tactics. He contributed 8 goals as a substitute and became a club surprise.

In fact, this is not the first time that Pellegrini has activated the style of a veteran. When coaching Villarreal, he revived Riquelme, the "future of Argentina", and trained Forlan, who was a headache for Ferguson, to become the best player in the team. top scorer.

Of course, the Chileans are also good at creating young players. The former Cazorla and the current Isco, this 21-year-old European golden boy resembles Silva in style. Absolute organization core.

He scored 33 goals in 11 appearances, and his offensive efficiency is very good. His net worth has soared to more than 2000 million euros, and he has become the target of Real Madrid, Chelsea and other giants.

Malaga is currently ranked 6th in the league and continues to maintain its competitiveness in qualifying for the European Championship next season. Their two-line combat ability even puts many veteran teams to shame.

This season's Champions League quarter-finals distribution La Liga is still the largest with three seats, Real Madrid Barcelona Malaga, Bundesliga two seats, Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich, Serie A one Juventus, Ligue [-] Paris Saint-Germain and Turkish Super League Latasaray.

The annihilation of the Premier League is shocking. Many English media once again mentioned the reform of the competition system. The high-intensity confrontation in the domestic league and the endless cup matches have made the teams exhausted. Naturally, they did not perform well in the European competition.

"Only by giving up the league competition is it possible to go further in the Champions League. No club will be willing to take the risk of being empty-handed. In the long run, even though the Premier League is very prosperous, it is getting worse and worse when looking at the entire European stage." "Sky Sports" analyzed it this way .

Why doesn't the FA not understand this truth, but every game is about vital interests, and it hurts to cut off any one.

Paris Saint-Germain, relying on the pride of spending a lot of money in the past two years, defeated Valencia with a total score of 3:2, and entered the Champions League quarter-finals again after 18 years.

Although Ibrahimovic is absent due to injury, Paris still has a number of offensive players such as Lucas Jr., Lavezzi, Pastore, etc. Beckham, who returned to European football from the United States this winter, has also attracted much attention. But the British did not get a chance to play.

Next, the UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw is completely open. There are no seeded teams and no domestic league and group stage opponents to evade. The first team drawn will play at home first, and UEFA has specified new draw rules.

The difference from previous years is the new draw for the semi-finals. In the past, the quarter-finals will be determined before the quarter-finals. The upper half and the lower half will each determine two teams for the semi-finals. The final will be the final winner of the two semi-finals. showdown.

However, the new rules remove the concept of the semi-finals, and draw lots again to determine the semi-final match when the semi-finals are produced. The outside world regards this as a signal for UEFA to further control the situation. After all, the more draws, the more tricky it may be.

However, after experiencing the group of death and the test of the Red Devils, Real Madrid is full of luck. Their quarter-finals will face the Turkish Super Galatasaray.
