On December 13, Beijing time, the lottery for the Champions League round of 16 was resumed. In the end, Real Madrid's opponent changed from Benfica to Paris, what a miserable! Netizens complained: "The opponent has changed from a big gift package to a big Paris!" ”
The Champions League round of 16 draw was already over, the epic showdown was born, Messi played against Ronaldo, and the PK of the traffic explosion arrived. Miraculously, however, due to the obvious mistakes in this draw, Manchester United were drawn early, resulting in an unexpected meeting with group stage rival Villarreal, and such a duel should be avoided. Therefore, after the draw was chaotic, the most dissatisfied was Atletico, because the biggest favorite Bayern was drawn, and then Atletico appealed, saying that when the draw was drawn, there was no Manchester United in the draw pool. UEFA had no choice but to re-draw the draw.
Atletico Madrid temporarily "escaped the disaster", and the unfortunate nature is naturally Chelsea, Real Madrid, Juve, Liverpool and other teams that were originally well signed, because Chelsea drew the weakest Lille, the first in the group. Real Madrid, Juve and Liverpool drew second in the group with relatively weak Benfica, Portugal Sport and Salzburg. Now, it's all over again.
The final draw for the Champions League quarter-finals is as follows:
Red Bull Salzburg vs Bayern
Sport of Portugal vs Manchester City
Benfica vs Ajax
Chelsea vs Lille
Atletico vs Manchester United
Villarreal vs Juventus
Paris vs Real Madrid
Inter vs Liverpool
Overall, the most tragic are Real Madrid and Inter, the latter opponents from Ajax to Liverpool, the former directly from Benfica to Paris! Messi will still face strong teams, and Real Madrid may be more difficult to deal with than Manchester United. Atletico got their wish and drew manchester United.
