Chapter 151 Champions League draw (first update of the new season!)

On September [-], after the third round of Serie A, the UEFA Champions League draw will also begin.

This time the draw will take place in Monaco, France.

— Held in a shopping mall in Monaco, France.

This time, the draw ceremony was completely closed. In Monaco, UEFA specially purchased a card from a store and put it on for the UEFA Champions League draw.

Although the grade is not high, this atmosphere has already been created.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the players are all seated and four large bowls are placed on the table.

These are the draw positions for teams in Pot [-], Pot [-], Pot [-] and Pot [-] respectively.

The players of the 32 teams have all been seated. This store was previously an Adidas store. After being purchased, this area was also separated by itself and became the venue for the draw ceremony.

Hundreds of chairs are placed together, and the players have already sat in several rows. The coaches of the major teams are moving the benches and sitting next to the players. At this time, Infantino has not yet arrived.

The background board is full of Adidas, Puma brands, and the LOGO of the UEFA Champions League.

A football is placed in the middle, the camera is at the end, and the microphones are already placed.

Soon, the lights dimmed, and a lamp was being turned on on the launch stage.

Infantino came out wearing a suit and looked at the players. He came to the press platform and stood in the middle of the table. After the reporters' filming ended, Infantino spoke.

"Dear players, welcome to all of your teams who are honored to be in the UEFA Champions League in the 2019-2020 season."

The players were looking at Infantino on the rostrum, and Infantino said again: "Next, the draw ceremony for the Champions League will begin immediately. Group A will be announced first."

The draw for Group A was not so tense, it was considered a very normal group, Group A only included Paris Saint-Germain, AEK Athens, Club Brugge, and Lokomotiv Moscow.

This group is assigned to AEK Athens, which performed very well in the Champions League last year.

AEK Athens only signed Quaresma this year, and there are no surprising transfers.

Club Brugge are in pot three, and this time the team in pot four is Lokomotiv Moscow.

The playing style of all the teams of the fighting nation is very brutal, and many teams do not want to meet the Russian team.

——After all, it is very easy to get injured under their feet.

The draw for Group B this time is different from that of Group A.

The first team in Group B is Barcelona, ​​and the second team is Ajax this time.

As an Eredivisie team, Ajax's performance is still very stable every year.

The third-tier team is Eindhoven, and the fourth-tier team is Red Star Belgrade. Basically, Barcelona has already steadily qualified.

The draw for Group C is a very difficult one, a surprisingly dead group.

AC Milan are also in Group C, they become a second-tier team, after all they have not participated in the Champions League for a few years.

The first team in Group C is Real Madrid, the team that currently ranks first in La Liga. They have won all three games. In La Liga, Icardi scored six goals and Muller scored four goals.

The performance of both of them is very good.

After these two players were introduced to Real Madrid this year, their performance immediately changed.

The third team, AC Milan met CSKA Moscow, facing the fighting nation.

The fourth-tier team is not easy. Although Benfica did not perform well in the Champions League last year, they are at least a very experienced team in the Champions League.

In the first battle, on September [-]th, AC Milan will face the fighting nation CSKA Moscow.

The grouping of Group D is also very difficult. This year's Group C and Group D have become the death groups of this season.

Group C swept Real Madrid, AC Milan, CSKA and Benfica, while Group D included Juventus, Porto, Hoffenheim and Pilsen Victory.

Last year's Champions League winners are in Group D, which has an impact on all players.

The grouping of Group E is relatively ordinary, including Borussia Dortmund, Monaco, Tottenham Hotspur and Shakhtar Donetsk.

As a team that reached the quarter-finals last season, Dortmund performed very well, and they also signed Real Madrid in the new season, drawing Isco into their own ranks.

As a second-tier team, Monaco does not have high requirements this year, only reaching the quarter-finals.

And Tottenham Hotspur's performance in recent years has not been very good. It is already very good for them to qualify for the group stage.

Group F has Manchester City this time.

Manchester City did not make any moves, but lost Wang Feng at a price of 7000 million this season.

Although Mubarak said he had learned a lot, he didn't want to sell Wang Feng. After all, he was not the kind of person who was interested in money.

But in the face of such a high offer from AC Milan, they sold Wang Feng and replaced Pato, who is currently sinking in Tianjin Quanjian.

This wild Pato repaired Wang Feng's position.

The grouping of Group F this time is very strange. Both Premier League teams have joined, and Leicester City and Manchester City belong to the same group.

Leicester City did not move much this year, and Vardy did not sell it-although there was a turmoil in Liverpool in the summer, and they wanted to sign Vardy.

The third-tier and fourth-tier teams in Group F are very ordinary, namely Galatasaray and Young Boys.

Group G ushered in the first team Liverpool this year, the second team is Atletico Madrid, the third team Sampdoria, and the fourth team is Atlanta.

This time, the Serie A duo joined again, which is considered a death group.

One Premier League giants, one La Liga giants, two Serie A giants.

Group H is relatively easy this year, with Werder Bremen in the first tier, Valencia in the second tier, Lyon in the third tier, and the team in the fourth tier.

Werder Bremen performed well this year and got a first-tier position.

Although the grouping may be a bit weird, this is because some teams only have three teams.

Bayern is very regretful that they did not enter the Champions League this year. This is because they sold Muller, which made them completely unable to sprint in the second half of the league, and thus lost their qualification for the Champions League.

This time the Champions League is about to start. In the first match, AC Milan will face the powerful CSKA Moscow. Whether they can get off to a good start in the Champions League is still a question.

After all, the Champions League is not just for fun.

The UEFA Champions League is the highest stage for players other than the World Cup. It is even more famous than the Club World Cup. It includes the strongest football clubs in Europe. The players playing here will definitely not lose their popularity.
