The UEFA Champions League group stage of the season is all over, and the situation of each group is also different.

But in general, the final qualifying teams in each group are not too surprised.

There are only two slightly unexpected groups, Group G and Group H, the last two groups.

Group G is the group that Chelsea is in. The turbulent Chelsea won the first place in the group, but the second team in the group is quite unexpected, which is Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine.

Although Dynamo Kiev is one of the two dominant teams in Ukraine, they can only dominate in the country in recent years. In the European war, it still depends on Shakhtar Donetsk supporting the Ukrainian league.

As a Ukrainian local tyrant team, the Miners brought in a large number of semi-finished players from South America, and sold them to the five major leagues after processing.

It is also because of this that in the Champions League in recent years, Shakhtar Donetsk can often reach the knockout rounds, and also won the Europa League during the season.

But for Dynamo Kiev, the last time they reached the Champions League knockout stage, it dates back to the 1990s when the nuclear warhead Shevchenko led the team.

And now, Shevchenko has retired for three or four years.

Speaking of which, Shevchenko did explode when he was in Dynamo Kiev. In addition to dominating the domestic league, he performed bravely in the Champions League for two consecutive years.

Leading the team to the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, Shevchenko has such a good show as a hat-trick at the Nou Camp.

In the last season, he helped Dynamo Kiev reach the semi-finals of the Champions League, and he himself was elected as the Champions League Golden Boot of the season.

At that time, the quarter-finals faced the defending champion Real Madrid. Shevchenko scored three goals in two rounds and helped his team eliminate Real Madrid 3:1.

Facing Bayern in the semi-finals, Shevchenko scored twice at Bayern's home court to help the team get a 3:3 draw.

Just when everyone thought that Dynamo Kiev was going to go all out, they lost 0:1 to Bayern at home in the second round, so they were eliminated.

It is precisely because of this that there was a miracle in the Nou Camp in the Champions League final that year, and Manchester United scored two goals in overtime to overthrow Bayern.

Speaking of which, the two most famous comebacks in the history of the Champions League final, the reversed team encountered a dark horse in the semi-finals, and then narrowly passed.

In the Nou Camp miracle in 1999, Bayern was almost defeated by Dynamo Kiev, a dark polo team led by Andriy Shevchenko, in the semifinals.

In the Miracle of Istanbul in 2005, AC Milan faced Eindhoven led by Park Ji-sung, Van Bommel and Cocu in the semi-finals. At that time, Milan won 2-0 at home in the first round, but was almost overturned in the away game in the second round. With Ambrosini scoring at the buzzer in stoppage time, the thrilling away game lost 1:3, and then advanced by virtue of the slight advantage of that away goal, so they encountered Liverpool's shocking reversal in the final.

Now, Dynamo Kiev has reached the Champions League knockout round again after a lapse of more than ten years, which has caused a wave of news in the European media remembering the Ukrainian nuclear warhead.

The biggest unpopular group in the Champions League group this season is Group H. The four teams in the group are Lyon, Valencia, Zenit St. Petersburg and Gent.

Such a group is completely a standard pecking group.

But among the four rookies, everyone still feels that Lyon and Valencia will qualify together. After all, they are strong teams in the five major leagues.

And the Champions League experience is also very rich.

But at the end of the final group stage, the qualifying situation was completely opposite. Zenit and Gent qualified together, while Lyon and Valencia went out together.

Zenit, as a local tycoon team in the Russian Super League, is understandable for everyone to grab a qualifying spot. After all, they have also scored in the Champions League knockout round before, but Ghent, as the new Belgian team participating in the UEFA Champions League for the first time, they also grabbed a qualifying spot. , is indeed surprising.

The UEFA Champions League group stage is over, and the next step is the draw for the round of 16 that everyone is most looking forward to.

Sixteen teams have qualified for the UEFA Champions League this season, and the strong teams have basically won the first place in the group. The only two groups that may be more difficult to deal with are second, namely Paris and Juventus. Paris was squeezed into the group by Real Madrid The second went up, but Juventus lost the chain by itself and was robbed of the first place in the group by Manchester City.

For Liverpool, as long as they avoid Paris and Juventus, it is not a big problem to basically advance to the quarterfinals.

However, Liverpool fans have been a little restless recently. Many of them expressed the hope that the team can draw Juventus or Paris.

If you draw a strong team, you will just have a match with the opponent. If you win, you will be happy. If you lose, you will go back to play in the league with peace of mind and strive to win the Premier League championship.

In the last round of the Champions League group stage, the most beautiful team was undoubtedly Real Madrid, who beat Malmo 8-0 at home.

The score of 8:0 has already tied Liverpool's record for the largest score in a single game after the Champions League restructuring created in the season.

And what's interesting is that in these two 8:0 games, the head coach is the same person, that is, the Spanish tactician Benitez.

Benitez's life in Real Madrid is quite difficult at present. I don't know if it can help him ease this big score.

In Real Madrid's big victory at home, Benzema completed a hat-trick, and Ronaldo even completed a big four.

This big four is the first time Ronaldo has won a big four in the Champions League in his career.

And after adding this big four, Ronaldo has scored 11 goals in the Champions League group stage this season, which is the latest Champions League group stage goal record.

The record that Li Chenglong tied in the last round was now broken by Ronaldo.

In the UEFA Champions League scorer list after the group stage, Ronaldo won the first place again with 11 goals, Li Chenglong ranked second with 9 goals, followed by Lewandowski with 7 goals, 6 Suarez scored a goal.

Messi missed half of the group stage, and the current number of goals is only 3 for the time being.

After the UEFA Champions League group stage, the draw for the round of 16 was held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

This year's Champions League round of 16, the Premier League occupies four teams, La Liga three teams, Bundesliga and Serie A both have two teams, and Ligue 1, Belgian League, Portuguese Super League, Russian Super League and Ukrainian Super League each have one team.

All four Premier League teams have advanced to the knockout rounds, but only Liverpool and Manchester City are slightly champions. The other two teams, Arsenal and Chelsea, are basically difficult to go far.

On the contrary, the three La Liga teams are all favored. This is the third consecutive year that they have advanced to the knockout round at the same time as the first in the group.

After the UEFA Champions League group stage, Barcelona and Real Madrid are the top two, Bayern third, Liverpool fourth, Atletico Madrid fifth and Manchester City sixth.

These six teams are even the few teams that are currently considered capable of winning the championship.

With the help of Zanetti, the guest of the lottery, the results of the Champions League round of 16 draw came out soon.

Barcelona vs Arsenal,

Real Madrid vs Roma,

Bayern Munich vs Juventus,

Liverpool vs Paris Saint-Germain.

The favorite teams to win the top four have all drawn opponents who are not weak. This year's Champions League round of 16 is quite interesting.

Next Manchester City drew Dynamo Kiev,

Chelsea draw Wolfsburg

Atlético Madrid draw Gent

Benfica drawn by Zenit St. Petersburg.

The last four groups of duels are not so interesting, and they are basically duels with distinct strengths and weaknesses.

Only Zenit played against Benfica. The strength of this group of duels is not so disparate, but it can only be regarded as pecking at each other.
