"I'll go back to football, where no one cheats" – former Ballon d'Or winner Michael Owen complained on social media after last Sunday's F1 finale at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
However, the realistic punch in the face will always come faster than the golden boy's spitting. After the most bizarre mistake in the history of the Champions League draw, UEFA made the decision to re-draw.
UEFA secretary-general Marchetti and guest Alshavin, whose faces were full of embarrassment, ended the battle as quickly as possible - in addition to maintaining the same match between Chelsea and Lille, the protagonists Paris and Manchester United, who had been deeply involved in the "internal determination", drew Real Madrid and Atletico Respectively.
Looking at the draw, La Liga has become the biggest loser, Real Madrid face a life-and-death battle, and Atletico and Villarreal have also encountered hard bones.
Back at the Bernabeu, Ramos was filled with his youthful self.
Ramos went home and Mbappe inspected the goods
Although C Ronaldo vs Messi, which is full of "routines", was urgently removed, the battle between Paris and Real Madrid is still full of overflowing emotional blessings.
Ramos, who switched from the Bernabeu to the Parc des Princes this summer, although he did not have a strong sense of presence in the new owner due to fatigue and diligence, but for Real Madrid, the influence of "Water Master" need not be said.
At a time when it is difficult for Real Madrid to put together a pair of central defenders, who can not miss the domineering and gangster old captain?
However, with Ramos' repeated injuries now, it is still unknown whether he will be able to stay healthy in March next year. But even if the "water master" can only be watched from the sidelines, there are still many old acquaintances of Real Madrid in the Paris squad.
As the "War of the Century" has only appeared less than Ramos, Messi is still Real Madrid's most troubled enemy. Especially after playing for Barca in the past few seasons, the Paris No. 30, which could have been looked down upon, obviously has an extra desire to win.
Mbappe will play against his future host.
But Messi's partner Mbappe, this game is destined to have mixed feelings.
In the case of the renewal of the contract is basically stranded, the French team head card, which can start negotiations with the new owner in January next year, although it is stated that it will not announce its direction in advance, it is clear that there is only one new direction for him.
This head-on duel, although Real Madrid is a live inspection, but it is still a tangle for Mbappe - if Paris is eliminated by Real Madrid, it is basically decided; but once it is Paris that is promoted, will it be too much to join the defeat?
In the Paris front trident, Neymar, who is now recovering from injuries, is one of the few players in the team who played against Real Madrid in the Quarterfinals of the Champions League three years ago. Although he led the team to a draw at the Bernabeu, he suffered a serious injury and witnessed the team being overturned in the second leg and almost missed the World Cup due to injury.
In the four years since joining Paris, Neymar has missed 94 games with 23 injuries, and in the process of "glass", Real Madrid is definitely one of the perpetrators. What will be the status of him in 2021, when he has already been reimbursed?
Compared with the Paris generals with mixed feelings, the basic "bright card" of Real Madrid, the opponent has suddenly escalated, and the official social media can only helplessly sigh: "The plan has changed, we are not going to Portugal, we are going to France." ”
Messi is also the last opponent Real Madrid wants to meet.
The Premier League complained, La Liga was miserable
When the first draw was held at 19:00 Beijing time, the first to find the draw error was british media such as Sky Sports and The Mirror, but the first to expose the possibility of re-drawing was the "As" newspaper, which can be called the mouthpiece of Real Madrid.
After the second round of draws, the signing of the Premier League and La Liga has undergone subtle changes.
Of the four Premier League teams, the best signing is still the defending champions Chelsea, and the Blues continue to meet the weakest team on paper, Lille, after the first draw.
Manchester City's new rival, Sporting Lisbon, although invincible in the Portuguese Premier League, is still slightly inferior to Villarreal, who is the Europa League champion, and Guardiola can also sit back and relax.
Although Liverpool did not meet Red Bull Salzburg again, Inter Milan, who has never been able to support the Champions League, is also an ideal opponent.
Perhaps the biggest variable in the Premier League's final four is that Manchester United "did" atletico.
In the previous draw, the UEFA staff took away the small balls of Real Madrid and Manchester United, and in fact, what should have been taken away was the small ball with a Liverpool note, they could have become opponents, but they were artificially separated by this low-level mistake.
Although the two sides have not played each other much in the Champions League, it is clear that Ronaldo and Simeone are not the same as each other.
After facing Atletico's hat-trick, C Ronaldo fancy "shows off the belly".
The confrontation between the two is not only because of the unresolved grudge between Real Madrid and Atletico, but also because when C Ronaldo switched to Juve and met Atletico, the "bandit" who won the game in the first leg demonstrated to C Ronaldo with extremely obscene gestures.
The "president", who has a vendetta, rewarded his opponent with a hat-trick in the second leg. After many years, the two still have no intention of turning gan into jade.
Now that Manchester United have been rebuilt for the Nth time, Atletico have also been unfavorable, but the latter's brown candy style of play is still the one that the Red Devils hate the most. But compared with Paris, the "hellish difficulty" of the C Ronaldo and Manchester league schedule in March next year will be temporarily reduced to "nightmare difficulty", after all, C Ronaldo has eliminated Atletico Madrid 5 times in the Champions League, and the Sheets Army has always been one of the "president's" favorite opponents.
The Transfer of the Premier League is bound to mean that another major league is frustrated, and this time it is obviously La Liga that suffers.
Real Madrid from Bao to the death of a battle needless to say, Atletico first out of the dragon pool and then into the tiger's den, but also to tears. Villarreal against Juventus, it seems to be slightly better than facing Manchester City, but in fact there is little hope.
After Barca took the lead in the group stage (they also drew Napoli in the Europa League), this 1/8 final will witness the "team annihilation" of La Liga? For La Liga, who took six big ear cups in the second 10 years of the 21st century, this is not a casual ghost story.
The cancellation of the away goal is destined to spawn a cold goal?
Compared with the competition between the two major leagues in the Premier League, Bayern Munich's attention to Salzburg Red Bull and Ajax against Benfica is undoubtedly much lower.
In the face of the "Red Bull system", Bayern undoubtedly has mixed feelings: on the one hand, the "South King" is a member of the opposition camp of the Red Bull Group, but the team's heavily recruited coach Nagelsman and center-back Yu Pamecano are actually from Red Bull, and they still can't help but call "true incense" with a look of disgust, which may be Bayern's truest mood.
At present, the first card of Red Bull Salzburg is Adeyemi, who was born in Bayern youth training but was abandoned, with Nigerian ancestry, and now his goal efficiency in the Austrian League is directly comparable to haalander 3 years ago.
Real Madrid, like Hamilton, have been artificially suppressed?
Since the Next Year's World Cup is scheduled to be held at the end of the year, the Champions League knockout matches, which were originally played at the end of February in previous years, were rarely postponed to March, and that month had the last FIFA match day of the season, and the schedule was dense and hard, and it can be imagined.
In recent years, UEFA, which has become more and more "innovative", has chosen to cancel the away goal rule this season, which means that the probability of extra time and even penalty shootouts has been further improved.
Although the Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1 all have different degrees of winter breaks, and the Premier League has also introduced a "February rest", in the context of a fast schedule, the holiday is still a drop in the bucket for the Champions League.
Fatigue and weariness have always been the catalyst for the downfall, and the Champions League knockout rounds are never exceptions. (Supine Braces/Yang Jian)
