The Champions League round of 16 draw was resumed, Manchester United failed to draw the big Paris again, C Ronaldo temporarily missed to play Messi, but there was still a wonderful strong dialogue in the quarter-finals, and there was no shortage of points to watch.
Watch point one: Messi meets old rivals Real Madrid
The Mero showdown failed to be staged, but Messi met another big club: Real Madrid, the "battle of the century" opponents when playing for Barca. In the 45 times of his career against Real Madrid, Leo scored 26 goals, performed quite well, and was the all-time top scorer in the Spanish national derby! In addition, it was also his reunion with Benzema, who competed for this year's Golden Globes.
Watch point two: Cristiano Ronaldo meets old rival Atletico
Coincidentally, Cristiano Ronaldo also met another old rival: Madrid derby opponent Atletico Madrid when playing for Real Madrid. And in his career 35 times against the Sheets Legion, the president blasted 25 goals, which is his second favorite opponent, behind Sevilla with 27 goals. Compared with The Greater Paris, Atletico, which has not been in good shape, is also more "good" for Manchester United and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Watch point three: Mbappe inspection battle?
The showdown between Paris and Real Madrid is undoubtedly a focus battle, and the French star Kylian Mbappe, who has always been the object of Real Madrid's favorite, almost transferred this summer, and next summer seems to be more likely. So will the two-legged contest, especially the second leg of the Bernabeu, be a battle between Real Madrid and the emperor?
Highlight four: Ramos returns to the Bernabeu
Just after leaving Real Madrid this summer, Ramos is about to play against his old club and return to the Bernabeu. As the legendary captain of Real Madrid, he won 4 Champions League titles there and scored key goals in the Champions League final, leaving countless good memories. I wonder what kind of way Mei Linger will greet Shui Ye at that time?
Highlight five: Liverpool Inter reunite after 14 years
Another focus battle was Liverpool against Inter, and the last time the two teams played in the Champions League was in the round of 16 in 2007-08, when the Reds beat the Nerazzurri 2-0 at home and 1-0 away. After 14 years of reunion, salah, Mane and Lautaro and Zheko are looking forward to the duel.
Watch point six: Fate, Chelsea easily advanced?
In two draws, only one of the 8 groups has not changed, and that is Chelsea vs Lille. As the defending champions, the Blues' signing is really good, and Lille is already the weakest group number one. The last time the two teams met was in the 2019-20 Champions League group stage, when Chelsea completed a double.
