The draw for the knockout rounds of the Champions League is about to be revealed, and who will pick up the big gift from the second place in the eight groups
In the UEFA Champions League group, the eight top-ranked teams have all focused their attention on Copenhagen. By nature, Copenhagen came from Denmark and lost to the big five leagues as well as the Portuguese Super League in the Netherlands. They have only eight points from six rounds, the bottom of the eight. In terms of overall strength, they are definitely at the bottom of the 16 into 16. Although they drew with Bayern, what does that mean? Is this a special case? If we can return to the Allianz Arena, what will happen to it? In this way, Copenhagen becomes the most wanted enemy of the eight strongest teams, which is the so-called "**** However, in this regard, Group 1 is on a par with Group 2. The boss of the same group targeted the worst No. 2, and No. 2 also locked the best No. 1. So, what exactly will be the reward for the second place and the 8 champions in the 8 categories?
Obviously, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Manchester City are not what any team wants to meet, because they don't have big bags, they are a king. Although Arsenal have not played in the Champions League for a long time, they are strong and have played well in the group stage. Such a team is definitely not the weakest of the eight runners-up teams. Perhaps, Dortmund's strength is a little worse. At the moment they are only fifth in the German league and have already been kicked out of the Champions League. It is true that compared to Haaland and Bellingham, Dortmund's overall level has declined, but their steady performance in this game is the biggest threat to 16 into 8. A team that focuses on the Champions League will perform better than other giants. Don't forget, the seemingly weak Dortmund were able to qualify from the group of death as a group leader, which means that they can be easily beaten?
As for Atletico Madrid and Real Madrid, forget it, they look ordinary, but they are difficult to deal with. Especially in the group, Inter Milan were forced to last place, which is a difficult opponent for an average team. So, now there's only one team left, and that's Barcelona. Three or four years ago, Barcelona was a big package. But at the moment, Barcelona can be a bit unpredictable. In the group stage, who can surpass Barcelona? Porto, Shakhtar Donetsk, Antwerp, these three teams, if it's them, can blow up your team in minutes. But what about Barcelona? Defeated 4-2 and beaten by Antwerp, this strong team is still a little sharp? You look at the performances of Real Madrid and Manchester City, right? That's the case with Barcelona, their team looks good, but the real quality is poor. Lewandowski is already old, and his dreams can only be pinned on Nuo. As the captain of the Treble, Gundogan didn't do anything but want to show off here. After Messi's departure, Barcelona suffered repeated setbacks in the Champions League, but Barcelona was still a top team at that time. But even Atletico Madrid or Real Sociedad are the same. Defeat in Antwerp was a loss of face for Barcelona. In Spain, Barcelona lost 2-4 to Girona. Barcelona is indeed a little short of fire at the moment. In the last two seasons, Barcelona have lost badly in the group stage. In this year's qualifiers, the reason why they were able to reach the final was entirely because the group stage was too easy. This time, there was no Bayern Munich to catch up. It no longer makes sense to compare giants like Bayern, Real Madrid, Manchester City. If it's four-in-sixteen, it's Barcelona, not Atletico Madrid or Real Sociedad. If Inter Milan plays against Grand Paris, it will be even more exciting.
