You know, Sevilla is one of the eight seeded teams in this year's Champions League.
Of the teams that can reach the quarter-finals, none of them are underdogs, and the catching and fighting are also brilliant.
According to the questionnaire survey conducted by UEFA's official website before the game, the most unwilling team selected by fans, Real Madrid led by Yang Yang ranked first, and the reason is very simple, Benitez said. The king of the cup, Yang Yang is in good shape now, coupled with the overall strength of Real Madrid, this team has become a nightmare that the top eight teams are unavoidable.
Then of course it was Barcelona led by Messi. Guardiola's dream three team is ambitious this season, and wants to make a difference in the Champions League, especially in La Liga, they are already five points behind Real Madrid, although the league is still owned Unknown, but Barcelona's strategy is clearly more inclined towards the Champions League.

...
The draw was presided over by Infantino, Secretary-General of UEFA, and Real Madrid executive Butragueno served as a guest representative of the venue for the final. The eight teams that entered the Champions League final sent representatives to witness.
The final result was somewhat surprising, and all the expected duels did not happen.
Barcelona met Arsenal. The last time these two teams met was in the Champions League final. Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow were in the same half. This should be regarded as a big luck for Inter Milan, who won the top eight. The weakest one.
Bayern Munich has drawn Bordeaux in Ligue 1. The two teams that have met in the group stage are now reunited in the quarter-finals.

The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals was scheduled for noon, just as the players rested.
Manchester United's players are sitting in front of the TV at the Manchester training base in Carrington, intently watching the result of the draw, because it is directly related to their opponents in the next game.
When Infantino opened the ball, took out the note with Real Madrid's name on it, and turned it over to show it to the live camera, everyone was obviously stunned, and then there was a sigh.
I even won Real Madrid!
This is definitely the last opponent Manchester United want to meet.
Why?
Benitez is not only good at playing cup games, but is also very familiar with the Premier League, not to mention that he has Yang Yang, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Robben and other top stars in the world, especially Yang Yang, he has been in the past few years, The achievements made in the Premier League, even now, still leave a shadow on the hearts of all Premier League teams.
His achievements are too high to be admired.
"It's unfortunate that I ran into Real Madrid!"
"Isn't it? This team has been in good shape recently, especially Yang Yang, who has just staged the fifth son's career. It's not easy to play."
"Since the winter break, Real Madrid has gradually stabilized, and I am afraid it will become more and more difficult to deal with."
"But anyway, since we met, we can only go out and fight."
There was a lot of talk in the players' lounge, and it was obvious that the Manchester United players were not too sure.
Of course, maybe, when they go out and face the media, they won't say it like they do now.
Looking at the whole of Europe, who dares to say that he has enough confidence to face Real Madrid without falling behind?
Cristiano Ronaldo was staring at the match-up table on the TV screen with gnashing teeth. He was completely different from everyone else, because before the draw, he prayed more than once, hoping to meet Real Madrid in the quarter-finals.
He wants to fight Yang Yang!
After the peak of the 2007 and 2008 seasons, Cristiano Ronaldo's state had a very obvious decline last season, which led to his performance in Manchester United being criticized, and the team ended up empty-handed. On the other hand, Yang Yang , but won the quadruple crown in Liverpool, went to Spain with honor, and came to Real Madrid like a savior.
In the eyes of the Portuguese, all the respect that Yang Yang received at the Bernabeu should belong to him originally.
His agent had an agreement with Calderon, but after Florentino came to power, everything changed.
This season, Cristiano Ronaldo's state has improved significantly. In the 27 rounds of the league, he scored 17 goals, and in the Champions League he scored 7 goals, only behind Yang Yang a ball.
More importantly, this report card was obtained after he had been out of action for nearly two months. It can be said that he has found his peak state.
Now, he is eager to touch Yang Yang to prove his strength, and at the same time let Florentino see clearly that giving up himself and choosing Yang Yang would be the stupidest mistake he made as the Real Madrid president.
All of these are secrets in Cristiano Ronaldo's heart, and he won't tell anyone, but after hearing the chatter from his teammates and the timid remarks, the Portuguese stood up abruptly.
"We will definitely beat Real Madrid and advance to the semi-finals!" Cristiano Ronaldo said eloquently.
After speaking, he turned around and walked to the gym.

…………
On the evening of March 20, in the twenty-seventh round of La Liga, Real Madrid played against Sporting Gijon at home.
Real Madrid did not perform well in the first half. Benitez further strengthened the team's offense at halftime, replaced Mascherano with Guti, and let Xavi Alonso play a single midfielder. Goody and Sneijder form a double front midfielder.
This change completely activated Real Madrid's offensive.
First, after Yang Yang's shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, Sneijder made a missed shot.
Then Sneijder took a corner kick. Yang Yang grabbed the first spot and headed the goal, trying to get a far corner. As a result, Xavi Alonso suddenly rushed to the goal and took the lead in Yang Yang's header. The attack went into the goal.
This suddenly made Yang Yang depressed.
I didn't score a goal just now, and it's okay to turn into an assist by coincidence. This goal can be scored, why is it "assisted" again?
Harvey Alonso ran to Yang Yang with a smile, and kept saying that he really didn't mean it, but just happened to run to that position. Just when he saw the ball flying over, he took advantage of the situation.
But Yang Yang is too innocent. Even if Xavi Alonso doesn't take this shot, the goal is still scored.
A goal suddenly turned into an assist, which was a refreshing feeling.
Afterwards, Sneijder scored the ball to the right, and Robben made a low shot from the right to score another victory for Real Madrid, three to zero.
In the final stage of the game, Sporting Gijon suddenly launched an offensive and pulled a game back for the team.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Sporting Gijon three to one.
Sneijder performed exceptionally well and was voted the best player of the game.
