Legendary Godfather

Porto came back from behind to defeat Crystal Palace and take three points.

In another game, Copenhagen defeated Club Brugge 2-0.

After the game, Solbakken knew the score of the other game. He sighed and shook his head helplessly.

He heard from his staff about the progress of this game. The other game was indeed very dramatic.

Who could have imagined that Porto would suddenly break out at the end?

Solbakken also knew how Crystal Palace conceded the last two goals. To be honest, this really cannot be blamed on Crystal Palace for not trying its best. They had led until the 87th minute, but in the end the Porto people came up with a penalty kick. It's hard to say anything. We can only blame Copenhagen for their bad luck and their own strength.

If they can win even one victory against Porto or Crystal Palace before this, they will be able to advance to the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League this season! ??

It's a pity that they still lack strength!

Of course, he also felt very sorry.

After all, Copenhagen is very, very close to qualifying for the top 16 of the Champions League. If they enter the top 16 of the Champions League, they will receive even more bonuses.

It's a pity that it lacks a little luck and strength.

Solbakken didn't say much.

At this point, the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League group stage matches are all over.

The situation of group g is as follows

Ranked first is Crystal Palace, with a record of 4 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses, and 12 points;

Ranked second is Porto, with a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss, and 11 points;

Ranked third is Copenhagen, with a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, and 8 points;

Ranked fourth is Bruges, with a record of 1 win, 0 draws and 5 losses, with 3 points.

Therefore, the ones who advance in this group are Crystal Palace and Porto, Copenhagen is going to the Europa League, and Bruges will be eliminated directly and go home.

At present, the promotion teams in other groups have also been produced. They are Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain in Group A; Naples and Benfica in Group B; Barcelona and Manchester City in Group C; Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich in Group D; Monaco and Group E Bayer Leverkusen; Dortmund and Real Madrid in Group F and Juventus and Sevilla in Group H.

This is the final top 16 teams. Among them, La Liga is the biggest winner, with 4 teams shortlisted. Three teams from the Bundesliga and the Premier League have advanced, and Serie A, Ligue 1 and the Portuguese Super League have two teams each. The team advances.

Therefore, the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League this season is still very competitive and very strong. No other small league teams were selected. Among them, there are no really weak teams above, and they are all very good. Therefore, the UEFA Champions League is still very valuable this season.

The rules of the draw for the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League are that teams in the same group avoid teams from other teams in the same Football Association, and the first team in the group plays against the second team in the group. The first team in the group has a first-come-first-served basis. Advantage.

So the current top teams in all groups are Arsenal, Napoli, Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Monaco, Dortmund

Manchester United, Crystal Palace and Juventus.

The second-placed teams in the group are Paris Saint-Germain, Benfica, Manchester City, Bayern Munich, Bayer Leverkusen, Real Madrid, Porto and Sevilla.

Among them, the only teams that Crystal Palace wants to avoid are actually Manchester City and Porto, and the remaining teams that are slightly inferior are Benfica and Sevilla.

And there is also a huge advantage against Sevilla Crystal Palace.

Because Crystal Palace has already played against Sevilla before.

In this year's European Super Cup, Crystal Palace defeated Sevilla. At that time, Asensio's world wave started, and then Ibrahimovic scored a hat trick. Crystal Palace defeated Sevilla 4-1!

Therefore, Tong Yi really hopes that the team can draw Sevilla!

Even in Tong Yi's opinion, drawing to Sevilla is better than drawing to Benfica!

If you draw Sevilla, Crystal Palace will win!

This is the opponent Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace players are most willing to face, and the opponent they are most confident about. Drawing Sevilla means that Crystal Palace has advanced to the quarterfinals of this season's UEFA Champions League.

Everyone in Crystal Palace hopes that the team can draw Sevilla!

Of course, it is also possible to draw Benfica.

Benfica's strength should be at the bottom among the second teams in these groups, so it is naturally very good to draw them.

However, apart from these two teams, the other second teams in the Champions League this season are very, very good, even very strong. Among them, only Leverkusen looks like a soft persimmon. The other Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid are all more difficult opponents.

If you draw the next three teams, it will definitely be a lottery.

I hope we don’t draw Real Madrid and Bayern Munich!

At the end of the group stage, reporters also asked Tong Yi which teams he least wanted to encounter. This is what Tong Yi said: "Obviously, we are not happy to draw Real Madrid and Bayern Munich, especially Real Madrid. We faced Real Madrid in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League last season. Their strength is I know how strong they are, and we don’t want to encounter them again.”

Indeed, Crystal Palace faced Real Madrid in the Champions League quarter-finals last season. If they hadn't won 1-0 at home and worked hard to win 3-3 on the road, they would have been eliminated early, and they would still have won the Champions League.

The second round of the game was really thrilling. Crystal Palace was almost eliminated.

Therefore, Crystal Palace really does not want to encounter Real Madrid.

I hope UEFA will stop being such a bitch and directly arrange a Real Madrid match for you and create a new fateful showdown for you. I hope UEFA will do something about it and prevent Crystal Palace from being drawn against Real Madrid.

The next day, the UEFA Champions League began the draw ceremony for the top 16 knockout rounds of the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League. Naturally, Tong Yi led player representatives to participate.

This draw is still very important for Crystal Palace. It will affect the progress of Crystal Palace in the second half of this season, so it is very important.

Of course, Tong Yi naturally hopes that they can draw a very good lottery.

But it all depends on luck!

On that day, the coaches and club officials from the top 16 were all present, and they all took this draw very seriously.

Tong Yi naturally met Guardiola and Wenger here, and they were also very serious.

It can be seen that they also know that the top 16 of the UEFA Champions League this season is really very competitive. The strength of these teams is not very bad. Almost every game can be said to be a tough battle.

So, it's all serious.

Tong Yi hopes that the team can draw Sevilla!

At this time, the lottery ceremony officially began. First, the host came to the stage to open the game and introduced the top 16 teams of this season's UEFA Champions League. Then a short video of these 16 teams was played on the big screen, allowing people at the scene and in front of the TV to know who they were. Which teams made the cut.

Then, the Secretary-General of UEFA came on stage to preside over the draw ceremony. The guest of the draw was the legendary Dutch football star Gullit.

The UEFA Secretary General is responsible for selecting the second team in the group, while Gullit is responsible for selecting the first team in the group.

The first team to be drawn out was the Manchester City team from the Premier League, which was also the only team from the Premier League among the second teams in the group. Their opponents have to avoid Arsenal and Crystal Palace, who are also in the Premier League, as well as Barcelona, ​​which is first in the same group with them, so the remaining teams include Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Naples, Dortmund and Monaco.

In the end, what Gullit drew was Monaco!

Seeing this, everyone except the Monaco people envied the good luck of the Manchester City people. Even many media reporters and fans outside the field thought that this was UEFA reporting to Manchester City. Why did they let him get the draw? What about Monaco, which everyone least expects?

To be honest, Tong Yi is also a little envious of Guardiola's luck.

At this time, Tong Yi somewhat understood why Manchester City hired Guardiola as the team's head coach.

To be honest, Tong Yi really doesn't care much about the team's draw. What he cares most about is who his team can draw.

But what Tong Yi didn't expect was that their Crystal Palace was the last team to be drawn out.

And the team that was drawn before them was the team that Crystal Palace people wanted to draw most - Sevilla!

In other words, Tong Yi and the Crystal Palace fans got their wish, they were drawn against Sevilla.

This is great news for the people of Crystal Palace, but it is not good news for the people of Sevilla. After all, this year

Sevilla lost to Crystal Palace 1-4 in the European Super Cup. Now they have been drawn against Crystal Palace. Their future is a bit bleak!

At this time, the draw results for the top 16 of the 2016-2017 UEFA Champions League have also come out, as follows

Manchester City [Premier League] s Monaco [Ligue 1]; Real Madrid [La Liga] s Napoli [Serie A];

Benfica [Portuguese Super League] s Borussia Dortmund [Bundesliga]; Bayern Munich [Bundesliga] s Arsenal [Premier League];

Porto [Portuguese Super League] s Juventus [Serie A]; Bayer Leverkusen [Bundesliga] s Atletico Madrid [La Liga];

Paris Saint-Germain [Ligue 1] s Barcelona [La Liga]; Sevilla [La Liga] s Crystal Palace [Premier League]

Seeing this draw, to be honest, Arsenal is the worst and most miserable in the Premier League.

Arsenal are going to face Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich!

No wonder after the draw results came out, Wenger frantically expressed his dissatisfaction. He said, "Obviously, our Arsenal has been targeted in the Champions League for more than a day or two. I had expected such a result." To be honest, I thought our Arsenal would be drawn against Barcelona or Real Madrid. To be honest, if you think so, our Arsenal is pretty lucky, really good!"

This guy Wenger is so angry. He is really more irritating than others!

Look, they are both from the Premier League. Why was Monaco the one chosen by Manchester City? And Crystal Palace was drawn by Sevilla? Why are you targeting us? Why didn't our Arsenal draw Sevilla or Porto? Someone must be targeting our Arsenal, that's for sure!

Arsenal fans were also very angry and called it shady!

Manchester City's head coach Guardiola is naturally very satisfied with the result of the draw. He said, "Obviously, this draw result is a very, very good draw for our Manchester City team. Although Monaco is very strong. But I think we should be able to beat them, we have drawn the best team to face among the first teams in the group, which is a great draw for us as Manchester City!”

When Tong Yi was interviewed, he almost said the same thing, "Yes, yes, this draw is really the best draw for us. We are very familiar with Sevilla, and a few months ago we We also defeated them. We are full of confidence in this game. I think we will definitely win this game and advance to the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League. This draw is a good draw for us at Crystal Palace! "

Wenger almost cried when he heard what Guardiola and Tong Yi said!

Why?

Why are we all coming from the Premier League? Why are we, Arsenal, so unlucky?

Are we, Arsenal, doomed to be unlucky?

Comrade Wenger finally said: "Although our opponents are very strong, I am very confident in our strength. I believe that even if we face Bayern Munich, the one who will advance to the quarterfinals of this season's UEFA Champions League will still be Our Arsenal team!”
