On November 11, Kaiserslautern ushered in their last match in the first round of the Champions League group stage. They will sit at home against Real Madrid, the strongest opponent in the group. Kaiserslautern is currently in Group A. Teng already has an absolute advantage, leading Real Madrid by three points after five rounds and occupying the first place in the group standings, while the second-ranked Real Madrid must lead Kaiserslautern in this game if they want to get the first place Only with 16 goals to end the game can we win the first place in the group by virtue of the advantage of goal difference.

At 6 pm on the day of the game, the game between the two teams officially started with the whistle of the referee.

Real Madrid's starting lineup is the same as it was when the two sides first met.

On the Kaiserslautern side, it was due to injuries. Compared with the first round away game against Real Madrid, Iniesta replaced Kaka, and Klose appeared in the Champions League as a starter. However, the most unexpected thing was the goalkeeper position. Jiang Feng did not choose Freder, but chose the young Neuer. Jiang Feng's arrangement also set a new record for the youngest player in the Champions League.

Although Kaiserslautern had a lot of changes in the starting staff compared with the last time, this game did not give Real Madrid too many opportunities amidst the cheers of the home fans.

In the last 90 minutes of offensive confrontation, Kaiserslautern drew 1-1 with Real Madrid at home. There was nothing too exciting about the game itself, because Neuer's performance made everyone's eyes shine. I lament that another star of hope in Kaiserslautern has appeared in front of everyone.

Although Kaiserslautern conceded a goal in this game, Neuer made 7 effective saves in this game, and one of them directly saved Raul's single-handedly. This game was able to draw with Real Madrid when several main players were unable to play. Neuer's performance definitely played a key role.

After the game, Neuer was also named the best player of the game.

On the second day after the game, Neuer was even called Kahn II by the German media, and Kahn also praised Neuer in an interview, claiming that Neuer's talent is even better than him.

It can be said that Neuer became famous in this game against Real Madrid.

However, Jiang Feng still asked the media not to pay too much attention to Neuer at the press conference after the game, claiming that Neuer is still very young, and he should not be paid too much attention by the media now. At the same time, Jiang Feng also rejected many media proposals. Interview with Neuer on request.

The end of this game also means that the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage in the 2001-2002 season is all over. The top 16 list is also released directly. Next, according to the UEFA Champions League schedule, the 16 teams will be divided into 4 groups again. The top two teams from each group advance to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

The final attendance results of the first round of the UEFA Champions League group stage also surprised many people.

The qualifying of Kaiserslautern and Real Madrid in Group A is expected by everyone. The suspense of this group is who is the first in the group.

Group B can definitely be regarded as the biggest upset in the UEFA Champions League this season. In the end, Nantes of Ligue [-] and Galatasaray of Turkey joined hands to qualify, while the giants of Eredivisie Eindhoven and Lazio of Serie A were eliminated. Out of the Champions League, such a result was unexpected by almost everyone.

Group C also exposed a lot of upsets. In the end, Liverpool and Powis from Portugal joined hands to break into the top 16, while Dortmund in the Bundesliga went to the UEFA Cup, and Kip Dynamo was eliminated. It is no small surprise that Dortmund failed to break into the round of 16 in the group.

Group D also had a small upset. In the end, Schalke 04 of the Bundesliga was squeezed out of the Champions League by Arsenal and Panathinaikos of Greece, and was out together with Mallorca.

There were no surprises in Group E. Manchester United and Deportivo joined hands to drive Lille and Olympiacos out of the Champions League.

Group F itself was advertised as the group of death in this season's Champions League, but in the end it was clearly divided. Lyon and Fenerbahce did not bring any trouble to Barcelona and Roma.

The qualifying teams in Group G are Bayern Munich and Prague.

Juventus and Porto advance to the round of 16 in Group H.

The final 16 list is: Kaiserslautern, Real Madrid, Nantes, Galatasaray, Liverpool, Powis, Arsenal, Panathinaikos, Manchester United, Deportivo, Bayern Munich, Prague, Juventus, Porto.

On the second day after the last match of the first round of the group stage, UEFA held a draw for the second round of the group stage in Zurich. This time, Jiang Feng did not attend with Bremer.

The final grouping situation really made Bremer who went to the scene hard to say, and it also made the German media who were concerned about the group grouping draw wailing, wondering whether UEFA was targeting the Bundesliga.

The big winner of the group draw turned out to be Real Madrid having the last laugh.

In fact, everyone knows that the teams that have entered the top 16 are all strong teams. It is inevitable that there will be a death group among the four groups, and there may even be several death groups, but as a newcomer to the Champions League, Kaiserslautern The fate is also really speechless.

The final 2001-2002 UEFA Champions League second round group group results are:

Group A: Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Nantes, Powis
Bayern, who are both Bundesliga teams in this group and Kaiserslautern, should be considered a top draw. Even though Nantes and Bowis showed their dark horse qualities in the first round of the group stage, I believe these two It is still difficult for the team to pose a threat to Bayern and Manchester United.

Group B: Real Madrid, Prague, Panathinaikos, Porto.

This should be the top pick in all the groups. As the second place in the group, Real Madrid was lucky to avoid all the strong teams in the five major leagues.

Group C: Juventus, Kaiserslautern, Arsenal, Deportivo.

This group can really be called the death group in the death group. In the eyes of the fans, Deportivo is weaker, but as far as the Champions League is concerned, Deportivo is also a frequent visitor to the Champions League. The team is looking down.

Group D: Barcelona, ​​Liverpool, Roma, Galatasaray.

This is also the second death group in the second round of grouping. Although Galatasaray is weaker than the other three teams in the eyes of fans, many professional football people know that Galatasaray is also a giant in Turkey. , Although there are no outstanding results in the Champions League, the horror of Galatasaray's home court is well-known throughout Europe. No team can say that it can guarantee that it can retreat from Galatasaray's home court.
