The draw for the 2018-2019 Champions League and Europa League was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
The whole world's focus is on the Champions League, and the Europa League seems a bit useless.
The draw was presided over by UEFA Deputy Secretary-General Marchetti, with French female football star Laura George and ambassador of the final venue Luis Garcia as guests.
The draw for the knockout rounds of the Champions League still continues the principle of double avoidance for teams from the same Football Association and the same group stage.
The results of the draw are as follows:
Schalke vs Manchester City
Atletico Madrid vs Juventus
Manchester United vs Paris
Tottenham vs Dortmund
Lyon vs Barcelona
Roma vs Porto
Ajax vs Real Madrid
Liverpool vs Bayern
The Champions League draw has attracted the attention of almost all football fans. After all, the Champions League is the most exciting event.
After the Champions League draw was completed, many people had already started discussing it online and didn't pay much attention to the Europa League at all.
Chinese fans have never been so concerned.
At 20 o'clock, in the same hall, another draw for the top 32 of the Europa League was held. The draw included 24 teams that qualified for the Europa League group stage and 8 teams that ranked third in the Champions League group stage.
The top 32 of the Europa League are as follows:
Third place in the Champions League group: Club Brugge (Belgium), Naples (Italy), Benfica (Portugal), Plzeň (Czech Republic), Inter Milan (Italy), Galatasaray (Turkey), Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine)
, Valencia (Spain);
First place in the Europa League group: Bayer Leverkusen (Germany), Salzburg (Austria), Zenit (Russia), Dinamo Zagreb (Croatia), Arsenal (England), Betis (
Spain), Villarreal (Spain), Eintracht Frankfurt (Germany), Genk (Belgium), Sevilla (Spain), Dynamo Kyiv (Ukraine), Chelsea (England);
Second place in Europa League group: Zurich (Switzerland), Celtic (Scotland), Slavia Prague (Czech Republic), Fenerbahce (Turkey), Sporting CP (Portugal), Olympiacos (Greece), Vienna
The draw was still hosted by Marchetti. The guests were replaced by former German women's football forward Shahic and the 2002-2003 UEFA Cup champion and former Portuguese central defender Ricardo Carvalho.
As a result, Carvalho helped Arsenal draw the Belarusian Borisov team!
Good luck.
It is impossible for Borisov to stop Arsenal, and Arsenal will most likely advance to the top 16. As long as they do not encounter the Europa League king Sevilla or Premier League rival Chelsea, Arsenal's Europa League journey should be smoother.
.
In the end, they may really be able to reach the final and go to the Baku Olympic Stadium in Azerbaijan...
For Arsenal, they want any championship. They are too short of championships. In Arsenal's European history, they have only won the Cup Winners' Cup in the 1993-94 season, and have entered the Champions League final once.
.
Because they lack enough European war honors, they are a pseudo-rich team.
Undoubtedly, this season, because of Luo Wu, they have great hopes of winning the championship. They can kill everyone in the most fierce Premier League, but will they still be afraid of their opponents in the Europa League?
In the league, competitors are already watching.
Tottenham, who lost to them in the League Cup, are now gearing up and preparing for revenge.
Tottenham are still in a very hot state. Since losing to Arsenal in the League Cup, they have wiped out all their opponents like autumn leaves.
Tottenham's strong players are all healthy, but Arsenal can still only attack with a broken formation, and they are missing Saka, and Luo Wu's left and right arms were chopped off.
Nowadays, in Arsenal's frontcourt, only Luo Wu is left with super strength. The other players are, to be honest, second-rate players.
The backcourt is actually similar, with second- and third-rate players filling the team.
This time we can really only count on Luo Wu.
For this reason, Emery has made new moves in the past two days.
The formation changed to 541, and this 1 is Luo Wu, but Emery did not fix Luo Wu on the front line. This 1 can play freely, run freely, and does not need to participate in defense.
As for the others?
Just defend with all your might.
But the team atmosphere is still very good, and there is no tension at all. There is only one idea in the team: with captain Luo Wu here, they will definitely win.
They were even curious about why there was a medical team around Luo Wu, surrounding him from morning to afternoon.
The young people were very excited.
When we finished work in the afternoon, everyone was discussing.
"Is this the captain's personal guard?"
"What's the difference between him and a prince?"
"Hey, this is an eye-opener for me."
"I heard that the team leader is still a former Manchester City player?"
Guendouzi now has a certain status in the first team and has quickly become familiar with his teammates. He suggested: "By the way, can I become a Chinese national? Anyway, there is no hope of entering the current national team. Follow the captain.
It will definitely be fun to go."
"Matteo, don't you want to join the Chinese team? China's hukou is really great. You can ask the captain?" Elneny immediately encouraged him.
"Think about it, if you become a Chinese player, you can sign a big contract. The endorsement fee alone will make you crazy."
"Really?" Guendouzi was obviously a little excited.
"I'll go find the captain and ask."
"Let's see what the conditions are..."
After saying that, Gunduzi really ran to Luo Wu.
"team leader."
"What are the requirements to become a member of the Chinese national team?"
Luo Wu was obviously frightened by this question.
Isn't this question a little weird for Gunduzzi? You're blond and blue-eyed, and you don't look Chinese at all.
He said tactfully:
"You are French."
"This is impossible..."
"We remember that if you want to play for the Chinese team, you have to play in China for at least five years?"
"Otherwise, unless you are of Chinese descent."
No matter how you look at it, Gunduzzi's European face doesn't look like he has Chinese ancestry.
result,
Gunduzi's words startled Luo Wu again.
“Does bloodline five generations apart count?”
"Ah? Is it really true?" Luo Wu looked confused.
Gundouzi continued: "In fact, my mother comes from a Chinese family in Marseille, France, and my mother's ancestors are from China."
"In the early part of the last century, my ancestors went to France to work as laborers, and subsequently gave birth to several babies there. After working in France for more than ten years, my ancestors returned to China with two of their children, while the remaining children stayed in France.
According to blood calculation, I should be the fifth generation."
"My mother told me this."
Huh~
Unexpectedly, Gunduzzi really has Chinese ancestry.
"Matteo,"
"If what you said is true, it's really interesting..."
"I'll ask you later."
"But why did you choose to join the Chinese team? Wouldn't it be nice to have the opportunity to join the French team in the future?"
Don’t all players want to be reborn in a wealthy club? Why would they want to join the Chinese team?
As a result, Guendouzi said: "Make money."
"I think you can definitely make a lot of money by joining the Chinese team. Captain, are you too busy with endorsements now?"
