In the early hours of this morning, the 6th round of the Champions League group stage ended, all the top 16 teams were produced, and the group draw ceremony for the 1 8 finals will be held on the 18th, and the game will be restarted on February 13 next year.
The draw rules for the top 16 adopt the principle of avoiding the same group and the same league, and the first place in the 8 groups will play against the second place in the 8 groups, and the specific list is as follows:
4 La Liga teams, all top of the group: Real Madrid, Real Sociedad, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona;
2 Premier League teams, both second in the group: Manchester City, Arsenal;
3 Bundesliga teams, 2 group winners and 1 group runner-up: Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig;
3 Serie A teams, all second in the group: Inter Milan, Napoli, Lazio;
Ligue 1, Eredivisie, Portuguese Super League, Danish Super League, 1 team each, are the second in the group: Paris Saint-Germain, PSV, Porto, Copenhagen.
Although the draw is random, looking at the results of UEFA's grouping over the years, there are a few patterns that have always existed.
First, there must be a focus battle, such as the battle of the sworn enemy and the killing of the old master; Second, there must be a guarantee, such as multiple teams in the same league, not all of them are out or promoted, and maintain balance; Third, there must be dark horses, such as ensuring that a weak team enters the top 8; Fourth, there must be suspense, such as the strong dialogue between the championship favorites Manchester City and Real Madrid, which cannot come too early.
To sum up, the groupings of **1 8 finals are as follows:
1. Real Madrid vs Benfica, Grand Paris.
2. Real Shrine vs Porto and Leipzig.
3. Atletico Madrid vs Leipzig, Copenhagen.
4. Barcelona vs PSV Eindhoven and Inter.
5. Manchester City vs Grand Paris, PSV Eindhoven.
6. Arsenal vs Copenhagen, Napoli.
7. Bayern vs Napoli and Benfica.
8. Dort vs Inter and Porto.
