Chapter 113 The next Champions League opponent

In the end, Lyon still won the game, beating Shakhtar Donetsk 1-0 at home, and Marblanco, who came off the bench, scored a supplementary shot from a corner kick.

Therefore, Lyon advanced to the Champions League knockout round with 5 wins, 1 loss and 15 points.

But only second in the group.

On the other side, Real Madrid beat Malmo 8-0 at the Bernabeu, tying the biggest score in a single game after the restructuring of the Champions League.

Speaking of which, the last time the Champions League score was 8:0, it was still done by that guy Benitez.

In the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 07/08 season, Liverpool led by Benitez bottomed out and rebounded under the unfavorable qualifying situation, beating Besiktas 8-0 at home.

Now coaching Real Madrid, Master Bei made another game to copy the score.

In general, both Lyon and Real Madrid have 5 wins and 1 loss with 15 points. Real Madrid won the first place in the group with a goal difference advantage. , the Malmo team was completely out at the bottom.

This season's Champions League group stage is all over, and the results of most of the group qualifying are expected.

But there were also two surprises, both from the Premier League.

First, Arsenal in Group F. They lost to Dinamo Zagreb and Olympiacos in the first two rounds of the group stage.

Fortunately, they played against Bayern for two consecutive rounds, and they successfully grabbed three points.

Coupled with the same wins in the last two rounds, Arsenal finally caught up with Olympiacos with nine points, and then advanced in a thrilling manner by virtue of the superiority of the outcome.

This was originally a group where Arsenal and Bayern easily qualified, but was vividly interpreted by the Gunners as a large-scale suspense film.

However, although Arsenal were thrilling, they succeeded in advancing, and the other Premier League giants were not so lucky.

In Group B where Manchester United is located, the other three teams are Wolfsburg, Eindhoven and CSKA Moscow.

This is also a group that is considered to be very easy, and Manchester United has no pressure to advance.

Unexpectedly, the final result was that Wolfsburg was first in the group, Eindhoven was second in the group, Manchester United was squeezed to third in the group, and could only fall to participate in the Europa League.

Last season's Liverpool, this season's Manchester United, there have been Premier League teams upset in the Champions League group stage for two consecutive seasons.

In addition, in Group E, Barcelona won the first place in the group steadily, while the other two teams, Roma and Leverkusen, were inextricably tied.

In the end, both teams had 1 win, 3 draws, 2 losses and 6 points, and Roma advanced by virtue of their superiority.

Only 6 points advanced to the knockout stage, which tied the lowest promotion points in the history of the Champions League.

In the 13/14 season, Zenit St. Petersburg of the Russian Super League did the same and successfully advanced to the knockout round with only six points.

This season's UEFA Champions League top sixteen teams have all been produced, and the quota distribution is relatively even.

La Liga and Premier League each have three teams, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue [-] each have two teams.

The remaining four non-five major league teams are the Portuguese Super League Benfica, the Russian Super League Zenit St. Petersburg, the Ukrainian Super League Dynamo Kyiv, and the Eredivisie Eindhoven.

In terms of player performance, Ronaldo can be regarded as thriving.

Although he didn't score in the two rounds against Lyon, he scored a lot against the other two teams, scoring a total of 11 goals, breaking the historical scoring record in the Champions League group stage.

In fact, the historical record is also kept by Ronaldo himself. In the 13/14 season, he scored 9 goals in the group stage, but last season was tied by Luis Adriano of Shakhtar Donetsk, so this season he scored [-] goals. set a new record.

In addition to Ronaldo, Lewandowski with 7 goals, Juba with 6 goals, Muller, Suarez, Giroud and others with 5 goals.

Zhang Chaoqiang scored three goals in the group stage, temporarily tied for No.10 in the UEFA Champions League scorer list.

There were three opponents in the group stage, and Zhang Chaoqiang scored one goal for each opponent, but only one goal.

On the contrary, Zhang Chaoqiang scored five assists against Malmö in two rounds, and Zhang Chaoqiang temporarily ranked first in the assist list.

The Champions League group stage is over, and soon it will be UEFA's turn to draw lots.

Lyon, as the second in the group, can only draw first in other groups.

In addition, Paris, as a team in the same league, will automatically avoid the top sixteen.

So after avoiding Real Madrid and Paris, there are only six potential opponents of Lyon, namely La Liga Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Premier League Manchester City, Chelsea, Bundesliga Bayern, Wolfsburg.

Among the six opponents, only Wolfsburg seems to be a little easier to deal with.

It is indeed amazing to beat Manchester United in the group stage, but in general, everyone does not think Wolfsburg is so strong.

The leading players are all sold to Manchester City, how strong can they be?

So Lyon fans prayed one after another, hoping to win Wolfsburg in the round of [-].

Finally, at the UEFA draw ceremony, the results of the top sixteen matchups came out one by one.

Wolfsburg vs. Zenit, Real Madrid vs. Roma, Barcelona vs. Arsenal, Bayern vs. Juventus, Atletico Madrid vs. PSV, PSG vs. Benfica, Manchester City vs. Dynamo Kyiv.

As for Lyon, it is naturally against Chelsea.

Zhang Chaoqiang's next Champions League opponent is Premier League defending champion Chelsea.

Chinese fans were also very concerned about the UEFA Champions League round of [-] draw. As soon as the result came out, they started discussing it.

"Drawing Chelsea, it's not a good draw."

"That's right, Brother Qiangzi may be in the top sixteen."

"It would be great if I win Wolf's Castle."

"It should be said that it is enough to win the first place in the group. The first place in the group is qualified, and it is easy to draw a simple second place in the group."

"It's a pity that I didn't compete against Real Madrid."

"What are you disappointed about? With Lyon's strength, they couldn't compete with Real Madrid in the first place. It was only the draw in two rounds that gave everyone hope, but in the end they didn't compete. Isn't it normal?"

"Indeed, when the results of the UEFA Champions League group stage draw first came out, everyone's expectation was that Lyon would qualify second in the group."

"What's more, Chelsea this season is very uneven, and Lyon may not have no chance."

"Hazard is No.8 in the Golden Globe Awards, and Brother Qiangzi is No.19 in the Golden Globe Awards. The two happened to touch each other."

"It doesn't matter if Lyon can get by, I just hope Brother Qiangzi can score goals."

On the Lyon training ground, the whole team is preparing urgently.

The top sixteen of the Champions League will not start until February next year, and now the Ligue [-] is preparing for the match.

Lyon will go away to challenge Paris. According to the French media, if Lyon loses to Paris, then the suspense of the Ligue [-] championship this season will not be great.

This statement is slightly exaggerated, but it is not without basis.

Losing away to Paris, Lyon will be six points behind.

Last season, Lyon led Paris by six points at the halfway point, and was chased to win the championship with only one point advantage in the end.

If you fall behind by six points at halftime this season, you really don't have much chance.

During the training, Zhang Chaoqiang received two more messages one after another.

[Your physical development makes you grow taller, height +1CM]

[You have strengthened your body through personal training, speed +1]

My height has risen to 1 meters. I don't know if I can increase it to 79 meters.

After all, he is 20 years old.

The speed increased from 84 points to 85 points.
