On February 21, Beijing time, the Champions League has ended, the round of 16 are all released, and the draw for the knockout round will be held today, the draw has ended, and the 8 1/8 finals are all determined.
This Champions League is the first year after the new restructuring, of which 8 teams go straight to the round of 16, 8 teams are decided through two legs of play-offs, and the final list of the top 16 is as follows, see the picture below, and Manchester City was eliminated is undoubtedly regrettable. The rules of this draw are as follows, there is no avoidance of the same country, and the teams that play in the league stage do not need to avoid, the 8 teams that go through are seeded teams, the eight teams in the play-offs are unseeded teams, and the 1/8 finals of the seeded teams are the first away and then the home!
The draw matchups are as follows, that is, Villa vs. Brugge, Borussia Dort vs. Ligue 1 powerhouse Lille, derby vs. Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid, derby vs. Bayern vs. Bayer Leverkusen, Arsenal vs. Eindhoven, Inter vs. Feyenoord, Barcelona vs. Benfica, Liverpool vs. Paris!
Liverpool in the Premier League is really very depressed, although they won the first place in the league, but the poor signing met the French hegemon Paris, Villa drew a gift package Brugge was lucky, Arsenal was also very lucky, drew the weaker Eindhoven, and the two teams had a very good chance of qualifying!
La Liga Real Madrid vs. Atletico Madrid, the two teams staged the Champions League derby, it is really right, the two teams in the league are direct competitors for the championship, and the two league meetings have not been decided, this time the Champions League is arranged again is really a script, the heat is full, this promotion suspense is too great, but this at least does not have to be tiring, I have to say that Real Madrid's Champions League draw in recent years is so difficult, as if it was deliberate, and Barcelona drew Benfica, which is not a very good opponent, Benfica is still very strong, Barcelona will also face challenges in qualifying!
Bayern vs. Bayer Leverkusen, the two teams are from the Bundesliga, staged a derby, the two teams are fierce rivals, Bayern was Bayern Leverkusen last season to end the league championship record, and now the Champions League duel is a narrow road, this season the two teams in the league did not distinguish the winner, so the outcome of this Champions League encounter is unpredictable. And Dort's opponent is Lille from Ligue 1, which is a good signing!
Serie A is the only seed, Inter Milan drew the Eredivisie powerhouse Feyenoord, and the signing position is good, and the promotion situation is very good!
