As the referee's final whistle sounded, the entire Calderon Stadium became a sea of carnival for Atletico Madrid.
The Sheets reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time in 16 years since the 1996/1997 season, and avenged their elimination by Porto in the 1/8th round in the 2008/2009 season.
In particular, Alex Sandro, who claimed to freeze Qiao Anchen, was taken to the hospital by an ambulance right after the first half of the game, which made many fans who admire Qiao Anchen feel secretly happy.
In another game played at the same time, Gunners Arsenal unexpectedly defeated Bundesliga hegemon Bayern Munich 2-0 at the Allianz Arena with goals from Giroud and Koscielny, leveling the total score.
3-3 draw, almost an epic reversal.
However, the Gunners failed to live up to expectations in the first round, losing 1-3 to Bayern at home, allowing Bayern to score 3 away goals.
With the total score tied at 3-3, Arsenal was eliminated by Bayern Munich with one less away goal.
In the end, the teams that reached the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League in the 2012/2013 season were Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, Galatasaray, and Barcelona.
Among them, there are 3 teams from La Liga, 2 from Bundesliga, 1 from Bundesliga, 1 from Ligue 1, and one from outside the five major leagues.
All Premier League teams have been wiped out, and the world's number one league, touted by the highly developed media, appears to be in decline.
La Liga fans, on the other hand, fell into a carnival.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atletico Madrid have all reached the quarterfinals, and are led by three superstars: Messi, Ronaldo, and Joanna. This season's Champions League championship is very likely to be won by a La Liga team.
La Liga fans expressed their high expectations.
Media reports from various countries on the second day:
"All the Champions League quarter-finalists are out, and none of them advance to the Premier League!"
"Arsenal captured the Allianz Arena 2-0, but were eliminated due to one less away goal than Bayern!"
"Atletico Madrid eliminated Porto with a total score of 4-1 and advanced to the quarterfinals for the first time in 16 years!"
"Alex Sandro was hit by Qiao Anchen and his head was badly bruised, and he was sent to the hospital during the game!"
According to media reports, Alex Sandro has been diagnosed and treated in the hospital and determined to need a truce for at least a month.
This gave everyone a better understanding of Qiao Anchen's physique and injury resistance.
It seems that Qiao Anchen not only has an unprecedented scoring efficiency, but also has extremely strong physical fitness. As long as Qiao Anchen does not have a glass body like the alien Ronaldo, it is entirely possible for Qiao Anchen to create a football legend. Many Qiao Anchen
Fans expressed their anticipation.
Of course, some Portuguese media also interviewed Qiao Anchen and asked him whether he apologized for injuring Alex Sandro.
Qiao Anchen, who had already been taught how to deal with the media by Mendes, Mou Xiangying and others, opened his mouth and said: "It is normal for such collisions to occur on the court. I regret this and hope he recovers soon and returns to the court."
As for Qiao Anchen's unyielding intention to retaliate during the match, and his mental activity to defeat the opponent by relying on his physical strength and injury resistance, these will naturally never be exposed.
The Champions League quarter-finals were all selected, and the quarter-final draw began immediately.
On March 15, 2013, the 2012/2013 UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
There are 5 former champions in the Champions League quarter-finals, namely Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Juventus. There are 3 teams in La Liga. Last time, 3 teams from the same association advanced to the top eight.
The situation occurred in the 2010-11 season.
This draw will be extremely open, there will be no seeding teams, and there will no longer be restrictions on teams from the same country and the same group in the 1/8 finals. Therefore, the existence of 3 La Liga teams and two Bundesliga teams will allow the same
Civil war becomes possible.
At the beginning of the draw ceremony, the first team McManaman drew was Atletico Madrid led by Joan Chen, and their opponent was the defending Bundesliga champion Borussia Dortmund.
As the opponent team was drawn, the club's sports director Caminero, who attended the draw ceremony on behalf of Atletico Madrid, showed a relaxed smile on his face.
Although Dortmund is not as good as Galatasaray, it is still easier than Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Juventus and the like.
Although Dortmund was the Bundesliga champion last season, it did not perform well this season. It was left behind by Bayern by a large points gap, and was also tightly entangled by Bayer Leverkusen. It was not safe to even finish second.
This opponent is already much better than other opponents except Galatasaray.
Under the rule that there are no seeded teams in the quarter-finals draw, teams from the same country and the same group will no longer avoid it. Winning this lottery is already a pretty good lottery.
However, archrival Real Madrid had a better draw than Atletico Madrid, and they actually won the draw for Galatasaray. Galatasaray's attendees looked a little stiff, knowing that they would be in bad luck against Galacticos.
In fact, there is no need. As the only team outside the top five leagues among the top eight, Galatasaray is obviously the weakest. There is no evenly matched opponent at all. No matter who they encounter, it will not be easier than Real Madrid.
.
Then there is Paris Saint-Germain. The oil tycoon led by Ibrahimovic was sent to Barcelona. Ancelotti, who is in charge of Paris Saint-Germain, will get revenge for his old club AC Milan being eliminated by Barcelona in the 1/8 finals.
Chance.
The first three groups of matches are released, and there is no suspense in the last group of matches, Bayern Munich vs. Juventus.
The final matchup list is Atletico Madrid vs. Borussia Dortmund, Real Madrid vs. Galatasaray, Paris Saint-Germain vs. Barcelona, and Bayern Munich vs. Juventus. The teams drawn in front will have a slight disadvantage in the home and away schedule.
However, in the end, it still depends on the team's hard strength and on-the-spot status. The schedule does not have a particularly big impact on the outcome of the game.
Major gambling companies have given odds for each team to advance to the semi-finals, finals, and championship.
With Qiao Anchen's continued outstanding performance and Atletico Madrid's rapid progress on all fronts, many betting companies have now given the probability of winning the championship. Atletico Madrid has surpassed traditional giants such as Real Madrid and Barcelona, ranking first.
Although not all of them, it has proven that everyone is optimistic about the Sheets Army.
After Atletico Madrid, there are Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain, and Galatasaray.
Galatasaray is undoubtedly at the bottom.
But in the end, who can really win the championship will only be known after playing. Even Galatasaray does not really have no chance at all.
Danish fairy tales, Greek myths, the Miracle of Kaiserslautern, etc., there are not many examples of dark horses in football winning unexpectedly.
