Revive Liverpool

Chapter 103 Champions League Group Stage Draw

In this game, not only Udinese's goalkeeper Handanovic performed well, but Liverpool's goalkeeper Keylor Navas also performed extraordinary.

Just denied Udinese's penalty is a good proof.

In the 67th minute, Griezmann, who had just replaced Dirk, had a slight refraction in the frontcourt breakthrough shot, but Handanovic, who was in good shape today, still made a pounce, and Handanovic fell to the ground and made a successful save.

Two minutes later, Liverpool overtook the score. Gerrard and Meireles made a two-for-two cooperation and strode the ball. Benadia could only run behind.

Liverpool lead Udinese [-]-[-] away!

Udinese, who had already lost hope, is now even worse, and the hope of advancing is almost zero.

Some Udinese fans have already left the game, they have expected their team's failure, do not want to continue to watch the game.

In the 72nd minute, Danny Rose's cross landed relatively forward, and Ekstrand hit Suarez's face with his elbow while running.

However, the referee Ben Quilenka did not award a penalty, and then there was a small friction between Suarez and Benadia of Udinese, and the two each received a yellow card.

In the 78th minute, Badu sent a through pass in the middle, and Di Natale responded with a low shot from the opposite direction, and the ball went wide!
In the 82nd minute, Griezmann faltered in front of the penalty area and rubbed a shot from the far corner, which was again resolved by Handanovic falling to the ground.

At the last moment, Liverpool got consecutive shot opportunities but were wasted by a group of Liverpool players.

At the end of the game, Liverpool beat Udinese [-]-[-] away.

In the two rounds of play-offs, Liverpool defeated Udinese with a total score of [-]-[-] and successfully advanced to the Champions League.

After Liverpool successfully advanced to the Champions League after two rounds of play-offs, the draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage will soon follow.

The Liverpool players who just finished the play-offs returned to Liverpool.

The players who returned to Liverpool did not leave the team, but watched the draw ceremony of the UEFA Champions League group stage together at the club. They couldn't wait to know who their opponents will face in the UEFA Champions League?
The draw for the 2011 UEFA Champions League group stage took place in Monte Carlo, Monaco as usual.

Monte Carlo is on the Mediterranean Sea and belongs to a small country, the Principality of Monaco.

The gambling industry in Monte Carlo, the wonders of the Oceanographic Museum, and the marriage of Princess Grace have all added a lot of legend to this small country.

欧洲中部时间8月25日17时45分，2011-12赛季欧洲冠军联赛小组赛抽签仪式暨欧足联颁奖盛典将在蒙特卡洛的王权广场议政殿举行举行。

First, the draw ceremony for the group stage will be held, and then the UEFA award ceremony will be held to announce the results of the selection of the best UEFA players who have just been born this year.

After the Golden Globe Award selected by "French Football" magazine was merged with the FIFA World Player of the Year award in 2010, the highest honor in football became the FIFA Ballon d'Or.

However, the results of the first FIFA Ballon d'Or were surprising. Messi, who did not have the Champions League and World Cup titles, defended his title unexpectedly.

This not only dissatisfied with the world champion Spain, but also made the Italian and Dutch media complain about Sneijder.

So UEFA President Platini was dissatisfied with the selection results at the time. He admitted many times that he thought Harvey should win the award, and declared that UEFA would re-hold the selection of the European Ballon d'Or.

So a new selection mechanism similar to the previous European Ballon d'Or was born, but because the name of "Golden Globe" is already owned by FIFA, this new award can only be called "Best Player in Europe".

With the birth of the "Best European Player" award, UEFA would select the best striker, best defender, best midfielder, best goalkeeper and best player in the Champions League every season. Individual awards such as best goalkeeper and best player were all canceled this summer.

The hostess of the draw ceremony was Melanie Veniger, Miss Switzerland 1996, and her partner was International Sports anchor Pedro Pinto.

Liverpool's 2011 European War points are 115.157, ranking fifth among all UEFA clubs, and they are naturally assigned to the first team.

The four clubs before Liverpool in European War points are Manchester United 151.157, Barcelona 141.465, Chelsea 129.157, and Bayern Munich 118.887.

The guest of draw, Portuguese superstar Figo, is responsible for drawing out the first-tier teams.England legend Bobby Charlton is responsible for drawing the second tier.Dutch star Gullit is in charge of drawing out the third tier.German star Matthaus is responsible for drawing the fourth-tier team.Breitner is responsible for drawing out the teams' groups.

The final draw for the UEFA Champions League group stage is:

Group A: Bayern Munich (Bundesliga), Villarreal (La Liga), Manchester City (Premier League), Naples (Serie A)

Group B: Inter Milan (Serie A), CSKA Moscow (Russia), Lille (Ligue [-]), Trabzonspor (Turkey)

Group G: Porto (Portuguese Super League), Shakhtar Donetsk (Ukraine), Zenit St. Petersburg (Russian Super League), APOEL (Cyprus)
Group H: Barcelona (La Liga), AC Milan (Serie A), Borisov (Belarus), Victory Pilsen (Czech Republic)
After the tense 2011-2012 UEFA Champions League group stage draw, the UEFA ceremony has entered a new stage and the selection of UEFA's best players has officially begun.

The three superstars Messi, Ronaldo and Harvey will compete for the 2010-2011 UEFA best player honor award.

The host invited the three most outstanding players in Europe last season to come to the stage for an interview. Barcelona club chairman Rosell, technical director Subizarreta, and Real Madrid public relations minister Butragueno all sat in the audience waiting for the final result to be announced.

The live TV screens began to show the highlights of the three candidates in the 2010-11 season.

Then the on-site reporters began to vote to select the winner of UEFA's best player.

With the results of the vote released, UEFA President Michel Platini was invited to the stage to present the first UEFA Best Player winner.

As expected, Barcelona's Messi, who won the UEFA Champions League this year, successfully took over the trophy symbolizing the best player in Europe from Platini with a high vote of 39 votes.
