Shakhtar Donetsk and Porto joined hands to qualify in Group H.

In this UEFA Champions League group stage, the Premier League top four will join hands to qualify and continue to make a strong impact on the UEFA Champions League.

Except for the semi-finals of the Premier League, all the semi-finals of the Bundesliga have advanced, changing the situation of Bayern and Dortmund in the past. This is also very rare in the history of the Champions League. The German team is really proud this year.

The top three in La Liga have also successfully qualified, and Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are still strong contenders for the Champions League title.

In comparison, the momentum of Serie A teams this year is very weak. Naples, which participated in the Champions League play-offs, was eliminated by Athletic Bilbao. In Serie A, only Juventus and Roma finally reached the Champions League group stage. And Roma fell into the death group with Bayern and Manchester City, and was eventually eliminated. As a result, only Juventus, a Serie A team, remained in the top sixteen of the Champions League.

Ligue 1 has performed well this year, Paris and Monaco have both qualified, and the two teams will fight for the honor of Ligue 1.

The only teams in other leagues are Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk. They were drawn to a group without giants, and they stumbled out of the encirclement.

Three days later, on December 13, UEFA held the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

The result of this lottery affects the heartbeat of the entire European football world. The teams that have reached the top 16 hope to draw a good lottery; while the teams that have not advanced also hope that their league opponents will encounter more difficulties and let their own The team is able to profit in the domestic league.

The final result of the lottery is still full of drama.

The result of Manchester United's draw made Manchester United very satisfied: the Red Devils drew Porto, and they started a duel with the Portuguese super giants.

Although Porto is not weak, compared to other giants in the five major leagues, it is fortunate that Manchester United can draw this opponent.

This time the top four of the Premier League were able to break through successfully, which made England fans happy, but the other three teams failed to draw good signs.

Chelsea has drawn Paris Saint-Germain, and the two teams will collide in gold dollar football. At present, Paris is thriving in the Ligue 1. There are many strong players in their team. It seems that Mourinho's team wants to break through smoothly, and it is not easy.

However, Arsenal and Manchester City were quite unlucky. They actually drew the same opponents in last year's quarter-finals at the same time: Arsenal drew Bayern, and Manchester City drew Barcelona. You must know that these two Premier League teams fell in the quarter-finals last year and failed to advance smoothly in the end. This year, Bayern and Barcelona are still very strong in their respective domestic leagues. It seems that Arsenal and Manchester City want to play again. Further, the possibility is really small...

The most popular team to win the Champions League this year is Real Madrid, and many industry experts are optimistic that they can defend the Champions League. They have drawn the Bundesliga team Schalke 04 this time, and it seems that Real Madrid's road to promotion should not be difficult.

Atletico Madrid drew the Ligue 1 team Monaco. Atletico Madrid, with a tough style, has never been afraid of a technical team like Monaco.

Juventus is the only Serie A team left, so they have become the hope of the whole of Italy. Today they drew the Bundesliga strong team Dortmund, Juventus' concrete defense will usher in Dortmund's youth storm,

The calm Allegri and the passionate Klopp are about to start a fierce collision between Mars and the Earth.

Another Bundesliga team, Leverkusen, has won the Ukrainian powerhouse Shakhtar Donetsk. Compared with the other three Bundesliga teams, their road to promotion should be easier.

After the UEFA Champions League draw ended, some teams were happy and some were worried, but Kintag no longer had time to think about these things. In time, Manchester United will usher in a series of Premier League matches and domestic cup matches.

And on December 14th, Old Trafford will usher in the first England national derby of the season.

Liverpool this season is really tragic. During the transfer period this summer, in the entire Premier League transfer market, Liverpool will be the one with the most signings.

Because of Suarez's departure, Liverpool received a large amount of transfer funds, and the board of directors made a certain amount of investment. Rodgers spent a lot of money this summer. They bought Balotelli, Lallana, Markovic one after another. , Emre Can, Lambert, Lovren, Origi, Manquillo, Moreno, Kevin Stewart ten players! The total cost is 120 million.

But at the sixteenth round of the league, Liverpool's board of directors found that they had done one thing wrong: this summer's signings were still too small, and there was still one position that needed to be strengthened--the head coach!

Rodgers has brought Liverpool to the seventh place in the league for two consecutive seasons. The majestic giants Liverpool have no European competition for two consecutive seasons. This is absolutely unbearable to the board of directors!

In fact, at the end of last season, the Liverpool board of directors had already started looking for candidates for a new head coach. They have taken a fancy to Southampton's coach Pochettino and want to poach him at the end of the season. But in the end Pochettino chose the more sincere Tottenham. He is obviously more interested in the Tottenham club.

This makes the Liverpool club very depressed. They tried their best to poach people, but the result was still unsuccessful, and there is currently no other coach who is more suitable for Liverpool. In the end, the board of directors decided to let Rogers stay for another season and give him some time and opportunities.

This summer, Liverpool's board of directors also made up their minds. They spent huge sums of money on signings, hoping to reverse the decline in the new season and return to the forefront of the Premier League, but the result made them very unhappy.

The league has progressed to the present, and Liverpool's performance is very stable-ranking seventh in the league. Can't go up, can't come down.

And Rogers has also been interviewed by the board of directors many times. He heard some meaning from the words of the board of directors: If he can no longer help the team reverse the decline, then he will not be far from getting out of class...
