The Champions League re-draw is "alive and long", and Merrow is undecided

Reporter | Wei Qingchao

European football once again appeared in the scene of "living for a long time".

At 22:00 Beijing time on December 13, 2021, the second draw was held in the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League, and the Merleto showdown that was about to be staged again was cancelled.

The official UEFA explanation mentioned that there were technical problems with the software of external service providers, resulting in a major mistake in the first draw. According to the principle of same group avoidance in the Champions League draw, teams originally in the same group will not meet in this round of draws.

However, during the first draw, Manchester United, who was in the same group as Villarreal, appeared for no reason, and in the subsequent draw against Atletico, Manchester United was not counted.

After drawing guest Arshavin drew manchester United for the first time, he immediately re-selected it, and then Villarreal's opponent changed to Manchester City.

When it was Atletico's turn to determine an opponent, UEFA's secretary-general said that "Due to the previous withdrawal, Manchester United must be excluded". In the end, Atletico madrid played Bayern and Manchester United drew paris Saint-Germain – messi's direct conversation with Cristiano Ronaldo looks set to play out again.

As the most important football event in Europe and even in the world, the Champions League draw has such a low-level mistake that people have to wonder that UEFA has made arrangements for the traffic code of "Merrow Decision" in advance, but Arshavin's accidental "failure" led to the exposure of the plan.

After the first draw, Atletico immediately protested, demanding an explanation for the mistake and a solution. In the face of such a rare situation, UEFA seems to have to resort to re-draw, but in this way, teams with good luck will also be affected.

Real Madrid, which originally played against Benfica, asked to retain the result of the draw, but finally failed to do so, and drew to Paris in the process of re-drawing, which can be said to be a disaster of innocence. Compared with the "Mero decision", this group is also full of topics, and Messi, Mbappe and Ramos in the Paris team are important points of view against Real Madrid.

As the core of barca, Messi needless to say, Real Madrid is the most important opponent of his career, the two sides have met 45 times before, Messi scored 26 goals; Mbappe has been in a scandal with Real Madrid this summer, but the final transfer failed to make a trip, and now he has to fight in the Champions League; and Ramos will face the old owner as a team hero.

Real Madrid president Florentino's implementation of the European Super League has long been in contradiction with UEFA

However, for the results of the re-draw, Real Madrid is naturally extremely dissatisfied, and the team has even called UEFA a "shame" within the team. The two sides were already on the same page because of the Europa League problems, and now the contradictions may further escalate.

In the second draw, Atletico just drew Manchester United, which had been excluded before, and both sides could accept the results of the re-draw.

Cristiano Ronaldo is the nemesis of Simeone's team, the Portuguese have played 35 times against Atletico, scored 25 goals, in fact, there is no lack of Champions League finals, key knockout stages to beat the opponent's performance; and for Atletico, today's Manchester United compared with Bayern, is obviously a soft persimmon.

Another key change is that Inter's opponents have changed from Ajax to Liverpool, and the promotion situation is not optimistic, while Chelsea vs. Lille are the only constant set of draws in the two draws. The full result after the re-draw is as follows:

Red Bull Salzburg - Bayern Munich

Sport in Portugal - Manchester City

Benfica Ajax

Chelsea Lille

Atletico Madrid - Manchester United

Villarreal Juventus

Inter Milan - Liverpool

Paris Saint-Germain -Real Madrid
