After Millwall eliminated Real Madrid and advanced to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League, the other sixteen knockout rounds also ended. The teams finally determined to advance were Chelsea, AC Milan, PSV Eindhoven, Bayern Munich, Valencia, Manchester United , Millwall and Sporting Lisbon.

Among the eliminated teams, three teams attracted attention: Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid and Inter Milan.

The match between Barcelona and Manchester United has attracted the attention of the world, and it is also the focus of the round of sixteen.

The confrontation between the two teams has also evolved into a duel of new stars.

Manchester United's new star is C-Ronaldo. At the end of last season, C-Ronaldo almost wanted to leave. Fortunately, Ferguson finally kept him. As a result, C-Ronaldo ushered in a big explosion this season. Not only did he score the most goals in the team , Assists also ranked second in the team.

As a full-back, this kind of game data has surpassed the category of ordinary stars. Manchester United fans have already labeled C-Ronaldo as a "future superstar".

Barcelona's new star is Messi.

Messi is a true football genius, but his youth experience was also very rough. At the age of 11, Messi was diagnosed with developmental hormone deficiency, also known as dwarfism, which would hinder the growth of his bones and make him unable to grow taller. The family's economy The conditions are unbearable for Messi's treatment costs.

Messi's dwarfism is not incurable, but injections of growth hormone cost up to [-] dollars a month. The old man of the parent team, Newell, is unwilling to pay for a child with an uncertain future. He once coveted Messi's River Plate team. After his stubborn illness, he also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to "poach corners".

In 2000, coach Kuka changed Messi's life. He took a fancy to Messi and thought he would become a real star.

Messi was taken to Barcelona, ​​and Messi moved his family to Spain.

In September 2000, Messi, who was only 9 years old and only 13 tall, went to Barcelona youth training camp La Masia for trial training.

During the trial training period, Messi's performance conquered the youth team coach of Barcelona, ​​they signed a work contract with Messi which will expire in 2012.

Since then, Messi has embarked on the road of 'flying'.

The Barcelona club has made great efforts to help Messi grow. Since Messi's epiphyseal line has already closed, the club experts have specially formulated a series of leg exercises for him to help Messi continue to grow. Messi is also in the Barcelona youth training camp. Improvement, growth, and in just three years, he was promoted to the first team.

Since then, Messi has been hovering between the youth team and the first team.

Messi is only less than 20 years old this year, and he is already the "semi-main player" of Barcelona's first team. Many players regard Messi as the main force and the top star, because many times, he replaces Ronaldo. Portinho comes on.

The match between Manchester United and Barcelona is also a direct confrontation between C-Ronaldo and Messi. Many people are concerned about who is more talented between C-Ronaldo and Messi.

In the end no one got an answer.

When the referee van der blew the final whistle, Messi and his teammates walked off the field lonely. Barcelona lost to Manchester United and they were eliminated from the Champions League.

But Messi did not lose to C-Ronaldo.

In the whole game, Messi contributed an assist and helped the team get an away goal.

C-Ronaldo was closely guarded by Barcelona and did not perform well in goals, but his personal performance put a lot of pressure on Barcelona's defense and helped his teammates attract enough defensive attention to make Manchester United One more goal than Barcelona.

The reporters can only say, "C-Ronaldo has more experience." C-Ronaldo is two years older than Messi. He played in the professional league early. He has played in major competitions for a longer period of time and more games, and Messi’s advantage is that he is younger. Messi’s skills are amazing, and few players can match his flexibility. If he has more game experience, maybe The result will be different.

After the game, there were voices admiring Messi and C-Ronaldo everywhere in Europe.

Hearing these voices, Zhang Yang couldn't help sighing, "Big and Ronaldinho, heartthrobs and other stars have become a thing of the past, and have entered the era of Messi and Ronaldo..."

Zhang Yang thought about his players, and felt a little bit of anticipation, "Will you add other names to it in the future?" He is more optimistic about Braniff, who has excellent dribbling ability, and Comprehensive quality, the strength is definitely a superstar, and the extremely rich game experience on the plane, with the support of the Millwall lineup, maybe he can perform better than Messi and C-Ronaldo?
In addition, it is Real Madrid and Inter Milan that have attracted attention.

Real Madrid lost to Millwall. There is nothing special to say. Millwall played well. Real Madrid also made some mistakes in the game, which led to the big loss.

The European media only regretted it, and at the same time were surprised by Millwall's results.

Inter Milan's loss to Sporting Lisbon is very interesting. The focus of the confrontation between the two teams is not before the game.

After Inter Milan was confirmed to be eliminated, their players seemed unwilling to fail. When they walked off the field, they clashed with Sporting Lisbon players. The conflict quickly turned into a group brawl.

Contradictions on the field were taken off the field.

Inter Milan's Burdisso and Sporting Lisbon midfielder Nani had a conflict, Burdisso kicked Nani with a flying kick, and then a large-scale conflict occurred.

Sporting Lisbon players rushed over and pushed Burdisso to the ground. Several Inter Milan players tried to chase Nani, but Nani quickly ran into the player tunnel.

Then the friction between the two sides in the player tunnel escalated. Inter Milan goalkeeper Toldo entered the Sporting Lisbon dressing room. Several other Inter Milan players, including Portuguese star Figo, were also involved in the escalated melee.

It wasn't until stadium security intervened that the situation was stopped.

This incident has become the hottest news after the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League. Almost all sports media in Europe and even the world are reporting on it. UEFA also immediately announced that it will impose global penalties on the players involved in the accident, which also means Sporting Lisbon and Inter Milan will have several players who will not be able to participate in the rest of the season.

It's a big deal for both teams.

Regardless of the corresponding league, Sporting Lisbon will also participate in the UEFA Champions League. They are originally the "fish bag" in the quarter-finals. In addition, several players cannot play, which is equivalent to directly announcing the defeat of the quarter-finals.

The media also commented, "The next draw will depend on which team is lucky enough to draw Sporting Lisbon."

----

The UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw ceremony will be held in Athens, Greece that night. The entire ceremony will be presided over by UEFA CEO Gianni Infantino.

UEFA sent Gianni Infantino, which is enough to show the importance attached to the Champions League quarter-finals draw.

This is because of the farce during the draw of the top sixteen.

At that time, the hostess pronounced Barcelona as Inter Milan, and public opinion immediately pointed to the inside story of UEFA, because the election of UEFA president was imminent, and the matter was finally settled.

But nothing can be covered up for a long time. The incident directly affected the reputation of the former chairman Johansson. In the presidential election at the end of January, former French football superstar Platini, one of the candidates, took the initiative to provoke the war. Through the media Attack the current president of UEFA, Johansson, the opponent.

The embarrassing time of the Champions League round of [-] draw became Platini's trump card. He kept talking to the media and said that after he was elected, he would make UEFA more transparent and not let the public Doubt.

In fact, it is difficult for Platini to get the support of the top European clubs in the G14 league. The main Western European football powers, except France, all hope that Johansson can continue to be re-elected, because Platini is currently a reformer in European football. He sent representatives, advocating that economic interests should give way to the development of football, hoping to support more countries where football is not very developed.

Platini emphasized for this, "At first Johansson praised me as a reformer, but then he changed his tone and said that in his opinion my plan was useless. But I will still insist on my own opinion and will consider all aspects comprehensively. To decide where the game of football should go. If we football people do not act at this moment, those politicians and businessmen will completely dominate the football field."

"I want to make it clear that even if I were elected it would not bring about a revolution in European football."

In this way, Platini defeated Johansson in the election and became the new president of UEFA.

New chairman, new atmosphere.

After Platini came to power, almost all the officials involved in the "UCL round of [-] draw public opinion incident" were liquidated afterwards. Platini needs to fulfill his campaign promises to give the outside world the impression of being more transparent.

This time the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals draw is a good opportunity.

The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals draw was a small ceremony. Due to the tight schedule, each club only sent representatives to participate. However, the draw ceremony was very transparent. During the live broadcast of the TV station, some local fans were invited to witness the event, and three random fans , Take turns to go to the stage to check the devices and equipment of the lottery.

After everything was ok, the draw ceremony officially started.

Everyone believes that there will be no problem with the lottery, because Platini has just come to power. If he manipulates the "just happened" Champions League draw, he will not only slap himself in the face, but his reputation will also quickly fall to the bottom. Smart Platini Tiny wouldn't do that.

The UEFA Champions League quarter-finals draw has abandoned the terms of avoidance with the Football Association clubs, and the teams encountered in the group stage may also start a fierce battle again.

Under this principle, the lottery became very simple, and soon the match was drawn——
A1: AC Milan VS Bayern Munich;
A2: Chelsea VS Valencia;

A3: Eindhoven VS Millwall;

A4: Sporting Lisbon VS Manchester United.

UEFA also confirmed the arrangement for the semi-finals: A4 winner VSA2 winner; A3 winner VSA1 winner.
