Chapter 309 Night in Istanbul?
Cagliari's results in the UEFA Champions League group stage almost fell below everyone's glasses. Cagliari's record in six games was four wins, two draws and [-] points, leading the group.

And in Group B, Cagliari can be said to have single-handedly sent the Galacticos out of the Champions League, so that Real Madrid ushered in the first group stage of the Champions League and failed to qualify.

As the group stage came to an end, the top [-] of the UEFA Champions League was also born as scheduled. In Group A, Monaco beat Liverpool to qualify as the first in the group.

Needless to say, Group B, Cagliari and Bayer Leverkusen came out hand in hand, C was Juventus and Bayern Munich, D Lyon and Manchester United, Group E was Arsenal and PSV Eindhoven, Group F was AC Milan and Barcelona, ​​Group G was Inter Milan and Werder Bremen, and the last group ended with Chelsea and Porto.

With the birth of the top 16, the UEFA Champions League knockout round is also on the agenda. The gold content of this season's knockout round is quite high. Except for Real Madrid, almost all other strong teams have qualified.

La Liga became the worst league in this group stage. Four teams entered the group stage, but in the end only Barcelona could qualify.

Serie A is the biggest winner of this group stage. All four teams qualify, and they all qualify as the top of the group. That is to say, the four Serie A teams will not meet in the quarter-finals.

Therefore, the draw for the knockout round has not yet come out. The Italians have already imagined that the four Italian teams can gather in the quarter-finals, or even win the semi-finals if possible.

Of course, this is just wishful thinking of the Italians. Even if they don’t meet in the quarter-finals, it will be very difficult to qualify for all. Not to mention other things, UEFA will not let the Italians do what they want.

For now, the task of blocking Serie A falls on the Premier League. No, it should be to let the Premier League and Serie A fall in love with each other, because the Premier League also has all four teams qualify.

On the day before the No.15 league match, the draw for the knockout round of the Champions League officially kicked off. Li Yi led the coaching staff to wait for the result of the draw in the tactical room, while the players watched the whole process in the lounge.

The first to draw Arsenal, and the opponent is Bayern Munich from the Bundesliga, and then Monaco, the opponent is PSV Eindhoven. There is no doubt that this will be the least attention of the game,
Then Cagliari's name appeared on the TV screen, and soon, Cagliari's opponent also appeared on the TV screen, from the traditional giants of the Premier League, Liverpool.

"Fuck~~~" Seeing this result, Li Yi couldn't help but swear.

Li Yi didn't remember Liverpool's knockout round and group stage this season, but he was very clear about Liverpool's final result in the Champions League this season.

The night of Istanbul, also known as the night of miracles, Liverpool used a shocking reversal to create a final that will always be remembered in the history of the Champions League, and also completely nailed AC Milan to the pillar of shame in the history of the Champions League.

The draw for the knockout round will not be terminated because of the discussion of the Cagliari people. Soon, the remaining matches will come out. Juventus has drawn Leverkusen, who was double-killed by Cagliari, Lyon has drawn Werder Bremen, Chelsea has drawn Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan has drawn Porto, and the captain of AC Milan is Manchester United.

When the results of this match came out, everyone in the Premier League and Serie A secretly scolded UEFA for its shamelessness, and this shamelessness still has no lower limit.

Chelsea v Barcelona, ​​AC Milan v Manchester United, Arsenal v Bayern Munich, plus Cagliari v Liverpool.

Um~~~ Looking at it this way, UEFA is still good for Serie A. At least the opponents of Inter Milan and Juventus are not strong. Juventus’ opponent is Leverkusen. The current performance in the Bundesliga is not very good. Although Porto is the defending champion, with the departure of Mourinho and most of the champions, their strength has dropped by more than one level.

At this moment, the people of Cagliari and AC Milan have already used all the curse words they can use on UEFA. In contrast, the people of Juventus and Inter Milan are very happy.

There is no doubt that these four games will also be the most interesting games in the quarter-finals. Needless to say, Barcelona and Mourinho will become a classic matchup in the history of the Champions League.

AC Milan and Manchester United are both super giants in Europe, and Arsenal and Bayern Munich are also in strong dialogues. To be honest, Cagliari and Liverpool are the least interesting.

Liverpool is a traditional giant in the Premier League, but they haven't won the Premier League title for a long time. On the contrary, Cagliari has been a downstream team for the past few decades. It was only last season that under the leadership of Li Yi, they rushed to Serie A as a dark horse and staged the Serie A version of the "Kaiserslautern Miracle".

However, Cagliari's performance in the group stage has attracted the attention of many people, especially the two games of Real Madrid, which directly led to the "Galacticos" being eliminated in the group stage.

If Cagliari was the biggest dark horse in Serie A last season, then this season, Cagliari is known as the biggest dark horse in the Champions League.

Of course, it is not so easy to be a dark horse in the Champions League. Suppressing Real Madrid is just the beginning. Only by reaching the quarter-finals can you be truly called a dark horse.

"What night in Istanbul?" Assistant coach Kadinic looked at Li Yi curiously.

"Oh~~~ Isn't the final of the Champions League in Istanbul?" When he learned that Liverpool was drawn, Li Yi immediately thought of "Istanbul Night". Although it was very quiet, Cardinic still heard it.

"Eh~~~ buddy? You're not already thinking about the finals?" Cardinic looked at Li Yi in disbelief.

"Hey~~~Paul~~~Aren't you thinking too much?" Li Yi gave Cardini a blank look, turned and left.

"Paul~~~What's the matter?" Seeing Li Yi leave, other members of the coaching staff asked.

"This guy Bruce seemed to be whimsical just now," Cardinic said.

"Istanbul? God~~~ Only Bruce dares to think about this kind of thing." Obviously, the members of Cagliari's coaching staff misunderstood this city.

But soon, the entire tactical room fell silent. The coaches of Cagliari and Li Yi have been working together for more than a season. They have not been seen together until now, from the newly promoted to the Serie A champion.

"Guys~~~We can't think too much~~~The most important thing for us now is to stabilize the advantage in the league. Only when we have enough advantages in the league can we prepare for the Champions League game more calmly." Cardinic obviously knows what everyone is thinking.

"Perhaps ~~~ the miracle of Istanbul will no longer exist." Li Yi, who was walking out at this time, was thinking about this question.
