Perhaps it was too complacent. After the Champions League, Dortmund was tied 0:0 by Augsburg, the third-last in the league, in the away game.

Bayern Munich beat Hoffenheim 7-1 at home.

However, judging from the huge points gap between the two teams, this small setback does not affect anything at all.

Now both teams still have a nine-point gap...

However, the Champions League opponents that were released next really had a huge impact on Dortmund.

They will face in the quarterfinals… defending champion Barcelona!

For Dortmund, this is not good news. Barcelona can be said to be "at the peak of the sky" in today's European football.

In the Champions League final last season, they defeated Manchester United by an absolute advantage and won the fourth Champions League trophy in club history.

Barcelona has won four Champions League titles since its establishment, three of which were won after entering the new century. It can be said that the first decade of the 21st century was Barcelona's ten years. In 2006, the Dream II team led by Rijcard defeated the then-strong Arsenal in the final and won the Champions League title. In 2009, the Dream III team led by Guardiola easily defeated Manchester United, who was determined to defend the title 2:0 in the final. That year, they not only won the Champions League championship, but also became the six-champion champion in European football at that time - they won all the championships they could win that year!

Since then, Barcelona has begun to dominate European football, and their rule has even affected the world football world.

In the 2008 European Cup, the Spanish national team based on Barcelona's Tiki-taka football tactics got rid of the hat of "King of Qualifiers", defeated strong opponents in the European Cup, and won the European Cup championship.

In the summer of 2010 just passed, the Spanish national team, which also had Barcelona as the team, won the Hercules Cup for the first time in history under the leadership of Bosque.

For a time, a "Barcelona whirlwind" blew up in the world football world. Everyone was talking about "Tiki-taka" and learning Barcelona's pass-through and control style. The media never tire of introducing to everyone how advanced Barcelona's tactics are. In the eyes of the fanatical Barcelona fans, their football is no longer just football, but has been sublimated into a beautiful "work of art"!

In this context, if someone dares to say that Barcelona football makes them drowsy, then they have no basic aesthetic view.

However, Barcelona's strength is indeed real, not blown by fans.

They are something that almost all teams are unwilling to meet in the Champions League.

As a result, Dortmund met.

AC Milan fans must feel a little secretly now - let you eliminate us!

The incident of Dortmund in Barcelona is the focus of media reports.

Because with Barcelona's current strength, whoever encounters them will be unlucky.

In the first round, Leverkusen lost to Barcelona 1:3 at his home court.

This is still a normal score. With Leverkusen's strength, it would be great that they can play like this with Barcelona at home. After all, there is a goal, so they won't be shaved by Barcelona at home.

As for Leverkusen being eliminated in the first round, it is not very important.

Everyone understands this.

However, after the game, some media broke the news that in this game, Messi exchanged two jerseys in one game. Because two Leverkusen players were fighting in an internal battle to grab Messi's jerseys, Messi had to switch one in the first half and another in the second half.

This is simply unacceptable news for Leverkusen who lost the game. On the one hand, the team lost at home and almost missed the Champions League quarter-finals, while the fans were sad in the stands. The two Leverkusen players competed for Messi's jerseys. They did not seem to feel pain and shame for losing the game. In their eyes, Messi's jersey is the most important thing, which is greater than the team's victory.

Such performance naturally led to the continuous running and shooting of the media and fans.

Leverkusen's management also intervened, and the two jerseys were eventually taken back by the club and announced that they would be auctioned online, and the proceeds from the auction would be used for charity.

In addition, Leverkusen also issued an internal ban, prohibiting players from exchanging jerseys with Messi in the second leg.

This incident was considered by the media as a "great humiliation" of Leverkusen Club.

However, after the second round of the game, everyone realized that this was the real "shaming and humiliation"!

Leverkusen played against Barcelona away, but was fucked by Barcelona 1:7. Messi scored five goals alone! This scared everyone. Even if Leverkusen was unbearable, he would not lose so badly in the away game, right? It can only be said that Barcelona is too terrible.

After the game, Messi made headlines in almost all sports media around the world.

UEFA officially confirmed that Messi was the first player to score five goals in a game since the 1992 Champions League reform. He is the eleventh player in the history of the Champions League to score five goals in a single game, and the first player to "study five goals independently" in 33 years.

The media exclaimed, "Scoring three goals in a game can be called a 'hat trick', and scoring four goals in a game is called 'big four joys', so what is the name of scoring five goals in a game?"

In addition, Messi scored 49 Champions League goals, which also tied the Champions League goals of Real Madrid legend Distiffano.

Some reporters said that Messi's performance made him afraid to write because he didn't know how to write. He complained: "Reporting Messi is the most troublesome job in the world, because no matter how you write, it feels like nothing is said and it is all a routine." "...I don't know how to praise Messi anymore, because all the words I can think of to praise him have been used up!"

But who can ignore such a player who won five goals in a single game? So even if you don’t know how to write, the reporters have to bite the bullet.

After Messi scored five yuan alone, even the players expressed their admiration for Messi.

For example, the "Alien" Ronaldo even swears: "He kicked so well!"

Rooney said again that Messi's performance was like a joke.

More players said that Messi is the highest-end player in the video game...

The whole world seemed to be beneath Messi's feet, touching his toes with his forehead to express their feelings when they saw the gods.

German media also think that Dortmund is really unfortunate to draw Barcelona.

Originally, they were counting on Dortmund to break through last season's results and go further and reach the Champions League semi-finals.

It now seems that Dortmund's Champions League road this season is about to end here.

Although it's a pity, what else can I do if I encounter Barcelona?

When the Champions League opponent was released, Zhou Yi was interviewed by reporters and was asked questions about Barcelona.

"Barcelona is very powerful." Zhou Yi said the truth as soon as he came up. "I don't think I need to repeat how powerful they are, right? But since we have drawn together, we must have the determination to fight with them. There is nothing to say."

"Some people say that you and Harvey have a somewhat similar style to playing football."

"Harvey is an amazing player, and it is a great honor to be similar to him." Zhou Yi did not emphasize that he is himself, and that he is Harvey, nor did he feel that there is anything embarrassing to be similar to Harvey.

"Does this mean that your football style is similar to that of Barcelona, ​​and will you consider playing football in Barcelona in the future?" The question was a reporter from Barcelona. He had some Catalan accent in German. Zhou Yi once heard He Ying recite Catalan with the textbook, so he was a little familiar with it.

He shook his head: "I will not answer this question when I am about to fight Barcelona."

He knew what the Catalan journalist wanted to get - if he showed respect for Barcelona as he answered the question before, the reporter turned around and wrote that he wanted to join Barcelona. Doing so would make him mess up before the Champions League quarter-finals.

This will shake Dortmund's morale. No matter how much he explains, it cannot stop some people from thinking, "Maybe Zhou Yi really wants to go to Barcelona, ​​after all, who can refuse the call of a team like Barcelona?"

This kind of thing will definitely affect the team's preparation for the Champions League quarterfinals.

But the Catalan journalist didn't want to miss this opportunity easily, so he asked: "So can we talk after the quarterfinals?"
