In the next two days, all the games in the final group stage of the Europa League were played, and the 24 qualifying teams were determined.
Together with the 8 third-placed teams in the Champions League group stage that have been moved to the Europa League, they form the list of the top 32 knockout rounds of the Europa League.
It is worth mentioning that in Group A of the Europa League, Liverpool, Anzhi Makhachkala, and Swiss Young Boys are tied with 10 points.
It is a pity that the Swiss young people were more tragic. They lost to Liverpool and Anzhi in the mutual victory and defeat, so they were eliminated in third place. Liverpool took the first place in the group with 10 points.
In addition, Marseille in Group C, PSV Eindhoven in Group F, Sporting Lisbon in Group G, and Athletic Bilbao in Group I were eliminated in the group stage, which was a bit of an upset.
Especially Athletic Bilbao, which was the runner-up in the Europa League last season, unexpectedly failed to make it past the group stage this season, which is really surprising.
At the same time, starting from December 6, the 2012 Club World Cup will also officially start in Japan.
The Club World Cup (full name: FIFA Club World Cup) is an international football tournament hosted by FIFA and participated by the top teams from six continents. The participating team in 2012 was the South American Libertadores Cup champion Colin
Tian, Champions League champion Chelsea, CONCACAF Champions League champion Monterrey, African Champions League champion Al Ahli, AFC Champions League Ulsan Hyundai, Oceania Champions League champion Auckland City, host (Japanese J-League champion) Hiroshima Sanfrecce.
Due to the uneven strength of clubs across continents, the Champions League champion and the South American Copa Libertadores champion start from the semi-finals. The other five teams first decide the two semi-final places to challenge the South American champion and the European champion respectively.
champion.
The first round of the match on December 6 will pit host Sanfrecce Hiroshima against Oceania champion Auckland City to determine the first place to advance to the second round.
In the end, Sanfrecce Hiroshima took advantage of the host nation's advantage to beat Auckland City 1-0 and advanced to the second round. Oceania champion Auckland City made it to the first round of the Club World Cup, locking in seventh place in this year's Club World Cup.
It is worth mentioning that this Club World Cup is the first time that FIFA has tried to use goal-line technology in an official game to avoid the tragedy of Lampard's goal in the World Cup in South Africa being misjudged by the referee as not being scored.
.
On December 8, the 15th round of La Liga started. Real Madrid defeated Valladolid 3-2 in an away game, but Cristiano Ronaldo did not score. This season's league goals stayed at 13 in the 15th round.
The next day, December 9, Atletico Madrid played at home against Deportivo La Coruna. Qiao Anchen was unable to play due to domestic suspension and sat in the stands of the Calderon Stadium to watch the game.
What is surprising is that in the absence of Joan Chen, Atletico Madrid beat Deportivo La Coruna 6-0 at home, becoming the game with the most goals and the largest point difference in this round of La Liga.
Perhaps it is because Atletico Madrid made a substantial rotation in the last round of the Champions League and many main players got a rest.
Of course, it may also be because Qiao Anchen's absence gave Tiger Falcao a chance to perform.
Atletico Madrid bought Falcao for a very high transfer fee, originally to replace Aguero and Forlan, and Falcao also performed well.
But I didn't expect that Qiao Anchen came out of nowhere at the beginning of the year and quickly took over the position of the team's top scorer and top star, stealing all the limelight from Falcao.
In this game, Qiao Anchen was suspended. He finally seized the opportunity and scored a total of five goals with head and kicks, putting on a five-goal performance in a single game.
The other goal was scored by Diego Costa.
Atletico Madrid has won 15 games in a row.
However, Barcelona is not bad either.
In another game later, Barcelona defeated Real Betis 2-1 away from home, continuing their unbeaten record.
Messi scored twice in this game, raising his league goals this season to 23.
He scored 23 goals in 15 league rounds. This efficiency is really amazing. What's more, after scoring twice, his total goals for the year reached 86, surpassing Gerd Muller's 85 goals for the year.
ball record.
If it weren't for Qiao Anchen's abnormal scoring of more than 100 goals, Messi should be the most sought-after forward this year.
However, I was born at the wrong time, and in the year when I was performing my best, I met Qiao Anchen who was using cheats.
After this round, Atletico Madrid ranked first with 45 points with 15 wins, and Barcelona ranked second with 43 points with 14 wins and 1 draw. The two sides were only 2 points apart.
The next round of the league happens to be Barcelona vs. Atletico Madrid at home, and Qiao Anchen is still suspended. As long as Barcelona wins, they can overtake Atletico Madrid in the standings.
That would be a perfect opportunity for Barcelona to reverse their standing in the standings.
The third-placed Real Madrid is already 16 points behind Atletico Madrid and 14 points behind Barcelona, basically missing out on the championship. We have to expect that Atletico Madrid and Barcelona will collapse at the same time in the following schedule, and Real Madrid itself will win consecutively.
Go down, the probability is really low.
In Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain finally won a 4-0 victory, and except for Lyon, all other rival teams were defeated, either losing or drawing.
Paris Saint-Germain finally moved up to second place with this victory and the advantage of goal difference, leaving only Lyon in first place.
In the Bundesliga, Bayern Munich once again defeated its opponent 2-0 with goals from Thomas Muller and Gomez and won.
The second-placed Leverkusen also lost, and the points gap with Bayern has been further widened. Bayern has already locked up the half-time championship in advance. As for the defending champion Dortmund, it is still ranked behind Leverkusen, and this season may be
Unable to shake Bayern's top spot, they won three consecutive league titles.
In Serie A, Juventus defeated Palermo 1-0 in an away game and continued to top the standings.
Third-place Inter Milan and second-place Naples played 2-1 in a strong dialogue. Inter Milan won, reversed their ranking, and rose to second place, while Naples fell to third place.
AC Milan defeated Turin 4-2, and Al Shaarawi scored another goal. If it were not for the appearance of Qiao Anchen, Shaarawi would have been the biggest favorite for this year's Golden Boy Award.
It's a pity that he had the same fate as Messi. He met the more perverted Qiao Anchen. The Golden Globe Award is still a little suspense, but the Golden Boy Award has already completely belonged to Qiao Anchen.
In the Premier League, the most eye-catching event is naturally the Manchester Derby between Manchester City and Manchester United.
In the 16th and 29th minutes, Rooney scored two goals to help Manchester United lead 2-0 in the away game.
With a two-goal lead, I thought the victory was sealed.
But the situation changed suddenly in the second half. Yaya Toure scored two goals in the 60th minute and Sabaret scored two goals in the 86th minute, successfully helping Blue Moon equalize the score 2-2.
In the last few minutes, both sides performed extreme offense and defense, both trying to score goals to kill their opponents.
In the end, it was the Red Devils and Manchester United who had the last laugh. Robin van Persie scored in the 91st minute of stoppage time through a low shot in the penalty area, helping Manchester United win 3-2 away from home and take 3 points from the Etihad Stadium.
He left with his head held high.
After this round, Manchester United continues to top the list, leading second-placed Manchester City by 6 points. The half-time championship is in sight, and there is also great hope for the league championship.
Ferguson is very likely to win another Premier League trophy before retiring.
On the same day of December 9th, the second round of the Club World Cup was also held, Ulsan Hyundai vs. Monterrey, and Sanfrecce Hiroshima vs. Al Ahli.
In the end, the two Asian teams were completely wiped out. Ulsan Hyundai lost to Monterrey 1-3, and Sanfrecce Hiroshima lost to Al Ahli 1-2, stopping in the top six.
Ulsan Hyundai and Sanfrecce Hiroshima will compete for fifth place in two days, while Monterrey and Al Ahli advance to the semi-finals and will face Chelsea and Corinthians respectively in the semi-finals.
