Chapter 288 Champions League quarter-finals draw, Bayern suffers

First in the league, semi-finals of the German Cup, quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Such a record is just a routine operation for the Bundesliga overlord.

Fans who are used to it are unusually excited.

Throughout the streets of Munich, Bayern fans wearing red jerseys can be seen everywhere.

In their casual chat, the three sentences were all about Bayern's recent performance.

Rossi.

Became the player they talked about.

It was his incredible performance that conquered the Bayern fans.

It also made them feel in their hearts that the Triple Crown winner, who has been away for many years, is about to return to the Allianz Arena again.

For Bayern, who have won the domestic double crown, the Champions League championship is the highest peak of their challenge.

Before winning the Champions League, the team has to hit another record.

In the 1971-72 season, Ajax won 26 consecutive league victories.

Bayern, which has won 25 league games, played against Eintracht Frankfurt at home three days after the Champions League.

Although Bayern has always existed at the big brother level, their performance since the beginning of this season has been too abnormal.

The winning streak allowed them to lead No.2 Dortmund by 17 points.

This is the biggest point difference Bayern has achieved in the league standings since the 12-13 season.

Rossi sat on the bench for Saturday's game against Eintracht Frankfurt.

For no other reason, Ancelotti simply wanted him to rest.

The Italian coach, who insists on never rotating, finally made an exception in front of Rossi.

Bayern, which lacks Rossi, is still sharp on the offensive end.

The goals of Robben and Lewandowski established the team's 26-match winning streak early.

The Allianz Arena has long been filled with deafening cheers from fans.

Rossi came off the bench in the 78th minute, drawing roaring applause from the fans.

He is now the darling of the Allianz Arena.

This game does not require him to turn the tide.

It is enough for him to play to the fullest and bring a wonderful football.

In the 90th minute, Bayern got a free kick in the frontcourt.

Rossi has undoubtedly become the first-choice free throw shooter.

He took the free kick without amazing speed or exaggerated arc.

Instead, with a random swing of the calf, he kicked out an erratic and unpredictable fallen leaf ball.

This free kick allowed Bayern to win 3 games in a row in the league with 0:26.

Now it is only one game away from breaking the winning streak.

At noon in the middle of the week, FIFA held a draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League at its headquarters in Switzerland.

The rule of "same country, same group avoidance" is no longer considered, and the entire draw is completely random, including the order of home and away games, making the draw ceremony more exciting and exciting.

In this draw, FIFA invited Welsh legend Ian Rush to be the guest of draw for the quarter-finals.

Because the venue for the Champions League final is the Millennium Stadium in Wales.

Ian Rush reached into the clear glass bowl to draw the first team in the quarter-finals.

Dortmund!

In the 1/8 finals, Dortmund eliminated Benfica 4:1 in two rounds and successfully advanced.

Their opponent is the defending Premier League champion Leicester City.

As soon as the results came out, the guests attending the meeting and the fans in front of the TV were all in an uproar.

This means that the remaining 6 teams are all really strong teams.

Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Arsenal, Bayern, Juventus, Barcelona.

No matter how the combination is, it is a strong duel.

The next lottery was even more tense.

Ian continued to draw lots, and he drew Bayern Munich.

Interestingly, Bayern was defeated by three different teams from the same league in the first three times on their way to the Champions League.

In the 13-14 season, they lost 0:5 to Real Madrid in the two rounds of the semi-finals.

In the 14-15 season, they lost to Barcelona 3:5 in two rounds in the semi-finals.

In the 15-16 season, the two rounds of the semi-final drew with Atletico Madrid 2:2, and they were eliminated due to fewer away goals.

Now these three teams are in the remaining 5 balls of the lottery.

The chances of encountering it are very high.

Ian Rush's hand, after gently stirring in the bowl, took out a ball, unscrewed it, and slowly opened the note.

Arsenal!
Bayern's opponent is the Premier League team Arsenal.

Arsenal, the only seedling in the Premier League, broke into the quarter-finals again after 6 years after eliminating Porto.

They met in the UEFA Champions League 4 times in recent years, Bayern got 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, being the upper hand.

Among the remaining 4 teams, there will definitely be a civil war among La Liga teams.

In the end, last season's Champions League final was repeated, with Barcelona playing Juventus.

After the 1/4 group ended, the schedule and home and away games were also decided, and the eight teams began to prepare for the European war.

Although Bayern firmly ranks first in the league, they have to hit the record of 27 consecutive victories.

With excitement and tension comes stress.

Borussia Mönchengladbach, the most mid-tier team in the Bundesliga, has always performed quite well.

But in the Bundesliga, they have a nickname that other teams are extremely envious of: Giant Killer.

In the past two years, Borussia is one of the few Bundesliga teams that can beat Bayern, achieving an unbeaten record of 2 wins and 2 draws.

For the first time this season, Borussia played against Bayern at the Allianz Arena.

Although they lost the game in the end, their bloodiness left a deep impression on the Bayern players.

There are historical reasons why Borussia is so strong against Bayern.

In the history of the Bundesliga, there was a period when Bayern and Gladbach divided the world equally.

The confrontation between the two teams was once known as the German National Derby.

It's just that Borussia has gradually declined over time, coupled with the rise of other Bundesliga teams.

Their position in the national derby was replaced by Dortmund.

Although the decline of Borussia has become a fact, the traditional skills of playing Bayern cannot be lost.

The two teams have played against each other nearly 12 times. Borussia has a record of 3 wins and 3 draws in the Bundesliga.

Compared with Dortmund's 4 wins and 1 tie, it can definitely be called a proper Bayern suffering.

If Bayern wants to break the record of consecutive league victories, they must cross the threshold of Borussia.

The last game in March was played at Borussia Park Stadium in Borussia.

This team from the west of the Rhine River has the tenacious style of the Germans.

Prussia is also synonymous with modern German spirit, culture and order.

In the history of the team, great players such as Berti Vogts, Joseph Heynckes and Stefan Effenberg were born.

After retiring, the first two also became famous football coaches.

In this game about Bayern's record winning streak, the team's former triple crown coach Heynckes also appeared in the stands.

Heynckes, who retired at home, appeared at the Prussia Park Stadium and instantly won warm applause from the fans on both sides.

There are not many people who can receive such treatment at the same time.

After Guardiola decided to leave England, Heynckes was the most popular Bayern coach.

Although the Champions League coach Ancelotti took office, the team has achieved good results.

But in the hearts of fans, Heynckes is still No.1 in their hearts.
