After advancing to the Champions League knockout round with the team, Xu Qi once again ushered in a knockout round in the Champions League. This time the Champions League knockout round is where he can participate in the Champions League knockout round again after two years.

Last season, it was the trough of his career, and he was assigned to Manchester City in the same group as Real Madrid, Dortmund and Ajax, and was eliminated directly at the bottom of the group stage. Xu Qi naturally had no chance to participate in the Champions League knockout round.

Last season, he helped Manchester City qualify for the group stage in the Champions League group stage, but later suffered from injuries, which led to him not participating in the following Champions League knockout stage and Manchester City was also eliminated.

Now, he was loaned to Monaco and got another chance to participate in the Champions League knockout round. This opportunity is extremely precious to him and he definitely doesn't want to miss it.

The draw ceremony for the Champions League quarterfinals was also held in mid-December.

In this Champions League knockout stage, there were very few unpopularity, and almost all the capable teams have successfully qualified from the group.

Except for the Serie A giant Juventus who was upset by Galatasaray, who was currently coached by Mancini, who was eliminated, all other giant teams were listed.

The top teams in the eight groups are Manchester United, Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Dortmund, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona.

It consists of three La Liga teams, two Premier League teams, two Bundesliga teams and one Ligue 1 team respectively, and is all powerful teams.

Monaco's opponents will also be drawn from six teams except Paris Saint-Germain in the same league and Chelsea in the same group. In short, no matter which team they play, it will mean a bit of danger.

The second teams in the eight groups are Leverkusen, Galatasaray, Olympiacos, Manchester City, Monaco, Arsenal, St. Petersburg Zenit, and Milan.

The draw ceremony was held again in Nyon, Switzerland.

Seeing such sixteen teams, many people have begun to look forward to the showdown in the quarterfinals, and there will definitely be many strong dialogues that people are looking forward to.

The first one to be drawn was Paris Saint-Germain, whose opponent was Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

Immediately afterwards, Barcelona was drawn out and it was Manchester City Club that encountered Barcelona.

This is a very exciting showdown.

However, this is a very bad sign for Manchester City. It seems that Manchester City's dream of Champions League quarterfinals is about to shatter again.

Seeing Manchester City meet Barcelona, ​​Xu Qi shook his head secretly, but now he is more concerned about Monaco's opponent.

Because Xu Qi is now on loan to Monaco.

Chelsea met Galatasaray.

Next, another set of expected duels were drawn out, and Bayern Munich met Arsenal.

Atletico Madrid's opponent is Milan.

In the end, Real Madrid got a good draw, they met Olympiacos and entered the Champions League quarterfinals with almost one foot.

In the end, Monaco's opponent was successfully released, it was Manchester United!

"Manchester United?" Xu Qi also smiled. I have to say that he was indeed a little surprised.

But this is reasonable. Monaco may not have no chance against Manchester United today.

This season, Ferguson has announced his retirement, and the replacement of Sir Joseph Moyes, who has coached for Everton for more than ten years.

However, after Moyes took over Manchester United, his coaching performance was not ideal. They are currently ranked seventh in the league, and are even worse than the Everton League rankings that Moyes once coached.

This is a bit embarrassing.

However, they still showed outstanding strength in the Champions League and successfully won the first place in their group.

"I won't think about that much. There are more than two months left in the game with Manchester United. Who knows what changes will happen in the past two months?" Xu Qi shook his head and lay in his rented mansion in Monaco, preparing to enter the training of ghost feet mode.

In a blink of an eye, the Ligue 1 has passed halfway through.

Monaco is currently in the second place in the league, with Paris Saint-Germain securing the half-time championship.

Their advantage in the standings has reached seven points.

It is probably difficult for Monaco to continue to chase points.

The winter break has also arrived. Although Xu Qi performed well after coming on as a substitute in the last round of the Champions League group stage, because he participated in too few games and Manchester City did not pay too much attention to him, so they did not intend to recall Xu Qi back to Manchester City, but continued to allow Xu Qi to complete his one-year loan period in Monaco.

Manchester City's current attention is almost all focused on competing for the top spot between Liverpool and how to deal with Barcelona in the Champions League next.

After a winter break, Xu Qi felt that he had made progress again, but he needed to recover step by step now. He had already set the time to completely complete the ghost foot mode in February.

That is to say, there are still the last two months.

The new year has arrived, and it is already in a blink of an eye.

The passage of time is really unkind. Before he knew it, Xu Qi was already a year old player and he was no longer a young player.

At the beginning of the second half of the league, Monaco's first opponent was Montpellier, the bottom-ranked league.

Xu Qi was on the roster, but temporarily sat on the bench.

At this time, Xu Qi still needs to try his best to avoid injuries. Although his ability has reached a very powerful height, since the ghost feet have not been completed, some muscles still do not protect the body well, so they are still relatively easy to get injured.

As long as the completion level is reached, Xu Qi will become the one who can attend all season without being injured and not afraid of shoveling again!

In the Ligue 1 League, little monsters run everywhere.

In this 20th round of the Ligue 1 League, Montpellier, who played at home, scored the first goal.

The goal was a little monster named Mbayenian whom Montpellier came on loan from Milan this season.

This guy's defense against Carvalho Abidal was completely good. He directly tore open the Monaco defense line like a rampage. After a shot, he went to celebrate the goal.

"This guy looks quite like Balotelli." Xu Qi looked at the little guy celebrating the goal from a distance.

Last year, after Xu Qi almost faded out of Manchester City's main player, Balotelli immediately had a lot of conflict with the senior management of Manchester City. He then transferred to Serie A Milan for 20 million euros, and became teammates with Mbayenian at that time.

This season, Mbayenian came to Montpellier on loan and began to level up in Ligue 1.

Subsequently, Monaco began to counterattack, and Carrasco had returned from injury, but Falcao was still injured.
Chapter completed!
