Chapter 27 Champions League Group Draw (Thanks to the Black and White Leader)

The first three rounds of Ligue 1 are over, and the current standings are as follows.

First: Paris Saint-Germain, 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses, 9 points (goal difference advantage).

Second: Lyon, 3 wins, 0 draws and 0 losses, 9 points.

Third: Rennes, 2 wins, 1 draw and 0 losses, 7 points.

Fourth: Monaco, 2 wins, 0 draws and 1 loss, 6 points.

Fifth: Marseille, 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, 4 points.

This is the approximate ranking of the first three rounds of Ligue 1, but the media did not pay much attention to this point. After all, nothing was expected at the beginning of the season.

It is very likely that the state is good at the beginning of the season, and it will start to stretch in the middle of the season.

The French media devoted most of its energy to the three teams.

French hegemony, Paris Saint-Germain.

Last season's champion, Monaco.

Ligue 1 is powerful, Lyon!

 …

Needless to say, Paris Saint-Germain invested nearly 500 million in crazy consumption and finally built a real galaxy battleship for him.

The three games almost all crushed the situation. Monaco caused some troubles for Paris, but they were still defeated by Paris' offensive rhythm.

After introducing Yi Le, the midfield super core, and Kanter, Paris almost drained the midfield partner of the last Champions League champion, and put it on himself abruptly, and because of the good adaptability, the burst out The impact is astonishing.

In terms of striker, Mbappe has also become the new darling of Paris. He has gradually replaced the position of Angel.

Neymar's performance is also very good.

After the arrival of Yi Le, the Brazilian superstar finally ushered in a helper. He no longer needs to support himself alone. He can devote himself to the offense because their midfield has a cannon erected there.

Compared with the first two heavy signings, Buffon is quite low-key.

This also made Buffon laugh at himself, 'I have no sense of presence in this team'.

The media was also amused, but this is good news. Paris' strong midfield and frontcourt increased most of the pressure, which made Paris' defensive pressure very small.

At least they haven't found an opponent who can cause them trouble in Ligue 1.

The media used one word to sum it up, Paris Saint-Germain.

'ferocious'! !

Paris this season has a lineup that matches its ambitions!

 …

If Paris Saint-Germain's Ligue 1 overlord, then Monaco was the absolute focus of last season.

Breaking the four consecutive championships of Paris, the birthplace of the Ligue 1 youth storm, this small storm was blown up and down by the big storm of Tottenham, and not many people even paid attention to it, but the main players such as Mbappe and Silva still won received enormous attention.

But the problem of small clubs appeared, they couldn't keep people, Mbappe came to Paris Saint-Germain, Silva left England with a transfer fee of 50 million euros, and joined Manchester City.

The entire team was split, and the media were discussing whether this team could continue the crazy performance of last season.

 …

Lyon!

This is the biggest discovery of Ligue 1 this season.

Since Monaco's youth storm, young players have become hot,

The Dutch teenager Depay, who moved to Manchester United in 2015, was reborn in Lyon after two seasons of slump. He scored 6 goals in three consecutive games and averaged 2 goals per game, shocking Ligue 1.

In the scorer list, he occupied the first position with 6 goals, and the second place was Mbappe's 4 goals.

And not only Depay, but Fekir has also matured a lot compared to last season, and several new star players have emerged.

For a while, the French media began to clamor.

"Lyon will replace Monaco and overturn the rule of Paris again! "

And the Lyon club announced in a high-profile manner that they are recovering!

.....

On September 7, all eyes of Europe were on Monaco.

The UEFA Champions League group draw for the 2017/2018 season was held in Monaco.

The first is the team tiers.

Pot 1: Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Tottenham Hotspur, Juventus, Monaco, Spartak Moscow, Benfica, Shakhtar Donetsk.

Pot 2: Barcelona, ​​Atletico Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Chelsea, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City, Porto, Liverpool.

Pot 3: Napoli, Manchester United, Besiktas, Sevilla, Basel, Olympiacos, Anderlecht, Roma.

Pot 4: CSKA Moscow, Celtic, Sporting Lisbon, APOEL, Feyenoord, Maribor, RB Leipzig, Qarabag.

The emergence of sub-files has caused heated discussions.

They were shocked to find that the second tier of teams was a bit scary, stronger than the first tier this season.

Real Madrid and Bayern did not perform well at the beginning of the season. Tottenham's youth storm lineup was also dismantled. Monaco is also facing Tottenham's dilemma. Juventus is considered a strong one, and the other three are considered to make up for it.

On the other hand, the second gear!

This is the real first gear!

Needless to say, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, the three Premier League teams in the second tier have performed arrogantly this season. Dortmund played Bayern dizzily in the last round of the Bundesliga. Not to mention Paris, the real Galacticos, Whoever kicks will cry!

Therefore, the risk-avoidance standard of the major teams has become to avoid the second-tier strong teams,

Such as Paris, Barcelona, ​​Chelsea, Manchester City, etc...

The French media are also very concerned about this draw, and they pin their hopes on Paris.

But the next scene enraged the French media.

Greater Paris actually entered the group of death with a small probability.

Group H: Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, APOEL.

Although this group is not as terrifying and extreme as the death group of last season, it is also full of uncertainties.

In the Premier League, there have already been reports of "Manchester United" being out.

In the past few seasons, Manchester United's performance has indeed been unsatisfactory. Facing the powerful Real Madrid and the newly formed Ligue 1 Galacticos, he is most likely to be out.

The final grouping is as follows.

Group A: Benfica, Liverpool, Basel, CSKA Moscow.

Group B: Bayern Munich, Chelsea, Celtic, Anderlecht.

Group C: Tottenham Hotspur, Atletico Madrid, Roma, Karabakh.

Group D: Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, Sporting Portugal, Olympiacos.

Group E: Spartak Moscow, Manchester City, Sevilla, Maribor.

Group F: Shakhtar Donetsk, Porto, Napoli, Feyenoord.

Group G: Monaco, Barcelona, ​​RB Leipzig, Besiktas.

Group H: Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, APOEL.

 …

The Champions League grouping is not friendly to Paris Saint-Germain, but the French media did not complain, but said: "This is a test. Since you want to reach the top, you must be fearless of any team!"

Moreover, the French media is generally optimistic, even the fans of Paris.

They feel that even if they are the worst, they can qualify as the second place in the group!
