Chapter 379 Manchester City VS Bayern Real Madrid VS Barcelona, ​​the strongest semifinal match in history!

"Blood massacre, Bayern strongly fights back against outside doubts! "

"Bayern 8:1 Porto, breaking the historical record of the largest difference in the Champions League quarter-knockout! "

"The Bundesliga giants are unstoppable, and the Portuguese super class bullies are slaughtered!" "

"This is the true strength of Bayern Munich! "

……

After this round of the Champions League ended, the outside world was shocked by the exaggerated score between Bayern and Porto.

This is the Champions League knockout round, not the Champions League group stage!

In the UEFA Champions League group stage, there are some teams from some low-level leagues. There is a huge gap between their strength and the top giants, so they are often beaten in the group stage.

But this is the knockout round, or the second round of the knockout round.

Those weak teams have already been eliminated, and the teams that were lucky enough to break into the knockout round were also screened out in the first round of knockout rounds.

It can be said that there is no underdog team that can enter the quarterfinals.

Although Porto is not a team from the five major leagues, they are also the overlord of the Portuguese Super League after all, and they are also the first team in the recent Champions League.

Their European War points are enough to prove their strength, this is definitely not a team!
But even so, they were still beaten by such a terrifying point difference by Bayern, which made outsiders feel extremely afraid of Bayern's offensive strength.

How strong is the Bayern team under Heynckes in terms of offense?
Can even the quarter-finals of the Champions League be slaughtered like dogs?

Such a powerful Bayern, plus the last champion Manchester City and the La Liga duo.

This time the gold content of the Champions League semi-finals is simply bursting!
It can be said that these four teams are the four strongest teams in today's football. The fight between them is exciting just thinking about it!

Fans can't wait to watch the Champions League semi-final!

However, before the start of the semi-finals, first draw lots to determine each other's opponents.

"Irresponsible to predict the semi-final match, Real Madrid VS Barcelona, ​​Manchester City VS Bayern!"

"Brother, the civil war in La Liga is always hot and attracts a lot of attention.

And the game between Manchester City and Bayern is Guardiola's battle to rectify his name, full of gimmicks. Both the gimmicks and the excitement of the two games are top-notch! "

"Considering the grievances between Bayern and Barcelona, ​​it is not ruled out that UEFA will arrange a match between them in the semi-finals."

"Yeah, Barcelona is determined to avenge their shame and avenge their 7-0 sweep by Bayern two years ago. If these two teams meet in the semi-finals, it will definitely be a big battle!"

"Last season, Real Madrid was eliminated by Manchester City in the semi-finals. They must also want revenge. If Manchester City and Real Madrid are arranged to meet in the semi-finals, the game here will be equally exciting. This arrangement is indeed good!"

"I think that UEFA may use the grievances between Lin Quan and Barcelona to arrange for Manchester City and Barcelona to meet in the semifinals!"

"Barcelona has always hoped to bring Lin Quan and Guardiola back to the Nou Camp. UEFA took a little action to meet their requirements and let the father and son return as Manchester City coaches and players. This kind of plot wants to come to the audience. They will like it too, right?"

"Oh, it's really tangled. The strength of these four teams is about equal, and it will be very exciting for anyone to play against each other. It would be great if they could take turns to play one game!"

It is precisely because they are strong enough that they have attracted the attention of countless fans before the semi-finals started.

On April 4, the draw ceremony for the semi-finals of the 24-2014 UEFA Champions League was held at the UEFA headquarters.

Guardiola attended the draw ceremony together with club president Fahim. Before the ceremony started, he went to say hello to the coaches of several other teams.

But he didn't say hello to Heynckes, not because he didn't respect Heynckes, but because he saw the Bayern club manager Hoeness sitting next to Heynckes.

Guardiola hates Hoeness!
Like last year, there are still two La Liga teams in this year's semi-finals.

But last year it was the Madrid duo, and this year it has become the West Super duo.

If it weren't for Atletico Madrid's early encounter with Real Madrid, with Atletico Madrid's strength, they might be able to break into the semi-finals. In that case, it would become the three heroes of La Liga besieging the remaining team.

Since Guardiola created the Dream Three Dynasty in Barcelona, ​​La Liga has begun to rise strongly.

First, Barcelona's pass-and-control football beat European invincibles, and then Real Madrid was deeply stimulated by the crazy armament suspension, and introduced Ronaldo and other big-name stars to improve their strength.

In the end, a dark horse like Atletico Madrid suddenly emerged and became a spoiler.

La Liga teams are not only very strong in the Champions League, but also have a good record in the Europa League, especially Sevilla.

This team has won the Europa League for three consecutive years and is almost about to contract this trophy.

This has caused many fans to jokingly call the Europa League the Sevilla Cup!
However, although the La Liga duo are powerful, they are not invincible.

The defending champion Manchester City eliminated Barcelona and Real Madrid one after another last year, and also defeated Atletico Madrid, also from La Liga, in the final.

As for Bayern, this veteran team has played against the La Liga duo a lot, and the two sides have won and lost each other. In recent years, Bayern has the upper hand.

So until the end, I don't know who will win the championship.

At 12 o'clock, UEFA Secretary-General Infantino and former German international and final ambassador Riedl appeared on the scene, and the draw began.

Riddell first drew Barcelona, ​​and the camera on the scene was then aimed at Barcelona's chairman Bartomeu.

The latter moved his butt slightly, and subconsciously glanced at the area where the Manchester City representative was located.

The tragic experience of being double-killed by Manchester City last year made Barcelona feel a little jealous of Manchester City.

Now, the Manchester City team not only has Lin Quan, but also Guardiola, who knows Barcelona very well.

So for Barcelona, ​​among these three teams, the last thing they want to encounter is Manchester City.

But fortunately, Bartomeu's worries quickly disappeared, because the team that Infantino drew was not Manchester City, but their league rivals-Real Madrid!

After seeing the lottery, the scene couldn't help but burst into discussions.

La Liga Clasico in the Champions League semi-final?
UEFA really knows how to play!

There are only 4 teams in the semi-finals. After two teams are drawn, the remaining two teams no longer need to be drawn. The situation of the game is very clear.

The four teams in the semi-finals are: Barcelona VS Real Madrid, Manchester City VS Bayern.

However, the first team to be drawn is on the schedule first and then away.

This kind of schedule is slightly disadvantageous to the team, so even if the situation of the remaining two teams is already known, the process of drawing lots still has to go.

Bayern's manager Hoeness couldn't help but sit up straight, thinking silently:

Don't draw Bayern first, don't draw Bayern first!
The old coach Heynckes sitting next to Hoeness has a face of indifference. It doesn't matter to a real strong team whether it is the home first, then the away, or the first guest, then the home.

If Bayern is strong enough, even if it is host first and guest away, they can completely defeat their opponents in the first round and kill the suspense of promotion, just like they just slaughtered Porto at home 8:1.

If they can win the opponent by three goals or even four goals at home, can the opponent still comeback in the away game?
On Manchester City's side, Fahim was also a little nervous. Drawing Bayern is not a good sign for Manchester City.

But seeing Guardiola's immobile appearance, Fahim was also slightly relieved.

With Lin Quan and Guardiola around, Manchester City does not need to be afraid of anyone!

Riddell quickly drew one of the remaining two balls, opened it, and saw the name on it——Manchester City!
Seeing this result, Hoeness breathed a sigh of relief.

Manchester City was drawn out first, which means that Bayern will get the first guest and then the host schedule.

This schedule is quite favorable for Bayern to advance to the final. After all, as long as they are not slaughtered by Manchester City in the first game, the decisive battle that determines the advancement of the two sides will be held at Bayern's home court.

With Bayern's horrible record at home in the past few seasons, he doesn't think Manchester City can take any advantage at the Allianz Arena!
The two rounds of matches between Manchester City and Bayern are scheduled for May 5 and May 5 respectively.

This time period is almost the final round of the final rounds of the major leagues.

For Bayern, who are far ahead in the standings, perhaps they don't have to wait until that time, they have already won the championship in advance.

But for Manchester City, they don't have any advantage in the standings, and they must fight game after game!
Therefore, when the semi-finals approach, Bayern can concentrate on the Champions League, but Manchester City cannot.

For Manchester City, there is another bad news.

The final of this season's Champions League will be played at the Olympiastadion in Berlin on June 6.

The favorable schedule and the final being held in their own capital stimulated Bayern to show their best form in the semi-finals in order to fulfill their dream of lifting the Big Ears Cup in their own country.

Therefore, getting Bayern is really not as good as getting Real Madrid and Barcelona!

……

After the draw ceremony for the semi-finals of the UEFA Champions League, the gambling company quickly opened a new market.

In the civil war between La Liga duo, spinach companies are more optimistic about Barcelona.

After all, in the Spanish national derby not long ago, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid, and MSN showed its strength to overwhelm the BBC.

In the match between Manchester City and Bayern, the bookmaker is more optimistic about Bayern based on the schedule and recent game status.

After all, a single-line battle and a two-way battle, the status of the two sides in the Champions League is likely to be very different.

The opinions of the media and experts are similar to those of the gambling companies. They also believe that Bayern, who won the championship early, will have an advantage.

"Manchester City's biggest problem now is physical fitness and injuries. How to reasonably allocate physical fitness to avoid injuries will determine how far they can go in the end!"

A celebrity said sharply.

……

On March 4, the 25st round of the Premier League kicked off.

It seems to confirm the speculation of the outside world, and the state of Manchester City has obviously been affected by the two-line battle.

In the home game against Aston Villa, they led their opponents 2:0 in the first half with the goals of Lin Quan and Aguero.

But in the second half, especially after the 70th minute, the players began to decline due to the decline in physical fitness.

Aston Villa seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack and once tied the score.

When the game progressed to the 85th minute, when the opponent's player scored a second goal to tie the score, the Etihad Stadium was silent.

The fans of Blue Moon stared wide-eyed, their faces full of disbelief.

What happened to your own team?
How could such a big lead be tied?

Guardiola had a rare worried look on his face. If the game was tied by their opponents, they would be 5 points behind Chelsea.

With 4 rounds left in the league, a five-point advantage can almost guarantee Chelsea the title.

Fortunately, in stoppage time, Van Dijk's header in the penalty area scored a crucial goal for Manchester City, helping them narrowly beat their opponents 3:2!

After the game, Guardiola took Van Dijk to the press conference and praised him without hesitation.

Since joining Manchester City, Van Dijk has gradually secured his main position in Manchester City, and his performance is getting better and better.

Thanks to his outstanding performance at the club, he even received the attention of the Dutch national team coach and was called into the Dutch national team.

Knowing that Manchester City got three points by luck, the Chelsea people who were waiting next door to open champagne were depressed to death.

But it doesn't matter, as long as their home team can beat Wenger's Arsenal away, they can still maintain the lead over Manchester City.

However, when the Emirates Stadium game ended, Chelsea fans were silent when they saw the dazzling 0:0 score on the scoreboard.

In the fifth-to-last round of the league, they were tied by the Gunners and lost a crucial 2 points, which caused their lead in the standings to shrink from 3 points to 1 point!
There are 4 rounds left in the league, Chelsea are only leading by 1 point, they have no room for error!
As long as there is another tie, they are likely to lose their leader position!

"It doesn't matter, the semi-finals of the Champions League will start soon, Manchester City will go to White Hart Lane to challenge Tottenham in the next game, I don't believe they dare to fight Tottenham in the away game!"

"That's right, they will play Tottenham on May 5, and on May 3 they will face the challenge of Bayern at home. If they consume too much at Tottenham, they may not be able to win Bayern at home!"

In the eyes of Chelsea people, for Manchester City, which has already broken into the semi-finals, they will definitely do their best to fight for the defending Champions League.

This is a feat that has never been achieved since the restructuring of the Champions League.

If Manchester City can do it, then with two Champions League trophies and successful defending achievements, they will be promoted to a giant without any suspense and officially become a member of the Premier League BIG5!
If it were them, they would definitely choose to fight for the Champions League. After all, even if Manchester City gave up the league, it would not affect their European seats.
