at 7 pm on December 14th, Beijing time, this season's Champions League and 16 matches were drawn. In the end, defending champion Bayern drew to Lazio and missed another chance to meet Barcelona, while Barcelona drew Neymar to lead Paris. At the same time, Manchester City drew Borussia, while Juventus drew Porto, both received a big gift package.
In the previous group stage, the 16 teams that qualified to qualify were Bayern , Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Dortmund, Juventus, Paris . This is the first team in the group and ranked The second team in the group is Barcelona, Leipzig, Atletico Madrid, Borussia, Porto, Atlanta, Sevilla, Lazio .
All four teams from Bundesliga and La Liga advance, the Premier League and Serie A each have three teams, only Paris is left in Ligue 1, and the only non-big five league team is Porto in the Portuguese Super League. Among the teams that won the championship, including Manchester United, Inter Milan, Ajax and other teams, all ended in the group, and Inter Milan was the bottom of the group and missed the Europa League knockout.
Judging from the current two tiers, the difference between the strengths of the two teams is still somewhat obvious. The first team in the group is basically a giant team, such as the defending champion Bayern, the 13th crown Real Madrid , 6 Champion Liverpool and so on.
When the lottery was drawn before the game, the outside world was sweating for Barcelona, because potential opponents include: Bayern, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea, Dortmund, Paris, so no matter who you encounter is very difficult to play.
At the same time, most of the teams second in the group have a certain degree of strength, and the first team in the group does not draw much gift packages, such as Barcelona, Leipzig, Atletico Madrid, Mönchen, Atlanta and other teams. Not easy to mess with.
According to UEFA’s lottery rules, teams in the same group in the UEFA Champions League this season will be avoided at the time of the draw, and teams belonging to the same football association will be avoided. The top eight groups are the seeded teams at the time of the draw. The first-final schedule will be away first and then home, so Barcelona and Juventus will definitely not meet in the same group, and Bayern and Dortmund are both in the Bundesliga and leagues and will not face off.
After a lottery, all 8 matchups were released, namely Bayern VS Lazio, Real Madrid VS Atlanta, Manchester City VS Moncheng, Liverpool VS Leipzig, Chelsea VS Atletico, Dortmund VS Sevilla, Juventus VS Porto, Paris VS Barcelona.
