Chapter 1039 An opponent from Italy
The draw for the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League has been settled, and some are happy and some are sad.

Perhaps the most tangled of all people now is Guardiola.

When drawing lots, the last thing he wanted to meet was his old club Barcelona.You know, Barcelona is the glorious place of Guardiola's football career and the top of his coaching career.He doesn't want to be an opponent with Barcelona.

Apart from Barcelona, ​​perhaps the last thing Guardiola wants to encounter is Manchester United.

Last season, Manchester City competed with Manchester United on the fourth line, and they were defeated on the fourth line. Facing the young Kim Tag, Guardiola was completely defeated.Therefore, in Guardiola's heart, he is even a little afraid of Manchester United now, and he is unwilling to meet Manchester United too early.

Therefore, when the lottery was drawn, Guardiola secretly prayed in his heart, hoping to avoid these two teams.

The final draw proved that Guardiola's prayers worked.Manchester City did not play against Barcelona and Manchester United in the end, but they drew another opponent that Guardiola did not want to face-Bayern Munich!

When the Bundesliga overlord was drawn, Guardiola regretted it a bit.

When I prayed just now, I should have added Bayern...

For the Bayern club, Guardiola has very complicated feelings.

Before he joined Bayern, Heynckes came out to lead the team again, and just won the honor of the Triple Crown, which made Guardiola, who took over as Bayern coach, very uncomfortable.

Before Bayern won the Triple Crown, as long as Guardiola wins the Champions League, he will be able to win the title at the Bayern club and achieve dominance.But Heynckes won the Triple Crown, so even if Guardiola won the Champions League, he was only tied with Heynckes. If he didn't win the Champions League, his coaching at Bayern would be a failure .Many people think so.

Under this pressure, Guardiola still failed to win the Champions League at Bayern, and finally left Bayern with some regrets.

Before Guardiola left Bayern, he and Bayern also had some unpleasantness.Because Guardiola announced in advance that he would go to Manchester City next season before the end of the season, this made Bayern very unhappy. They believed that Guardiola's behavior was very unprofessional and did not respect Bayern enough.

With this sentiment, Manchester City drew with Bayern in the Champions League quarter-finals last season.After a two-game duel, Manchester City defeated Bayern strongly and finally reached the Champions League final.

Perhaps since then, the affection for Guardiola in the hearts of Bayern fans has dropped to the bottom, almost zero.

Unexpectedly, a year later, the two teams will meet again. The fans will wait and see what kind of sparks the two sides will burst out this time.

In addition to Bayern vs. Manchester City, there was another draw with a narrow road.

The down-and-out cosmic team Barcelona met their old enemy Chelsea.

The story of these two teams has a long history, and their enmity has long been forged.

The famous Stamford Bridge tragedy has become a classic story in the history of the Champions League. Ballack and Drogba's roar at the referee after the game has become the deepest memory of that game in many people's minds.

Time has passed, and many players who participated in that game at that time have retired.At that time, the coaches of the two teams are now coaching in Manchester City and Real Madrid respectively. It seems that the hatred between Barcelona and Chelsea is not as strong as before.

But in the hearts of the fans of the two teams, especially in the hearts of Chelsea fans, their hatred and anger still have not subsided.Every time the two teams meet, there will be fierce sparks, and I believe this time is no exception.

In addition to historical grievances, the desire of these two teams for the Champions League is extremely strong.The situation of Chelsea and Barcelona this season is somewhat similar. They had a bad start in the league and lost a good start. Then their results were unstable and they lost the possibility of winning the championship early.And they were also eliminated in the domestic cup competition, losing another way to prove themselves.

Currently in front of the two teams, there is only one Champions League champion left to compete.Now Conte's coaching position is in jeopardy, and Valverde has been repeatedly criticized by the media and fans. If the two of them want to achieve decent results this season, the only way is to win the Champions League.Therefore, the two teams are fighting with their backs this time. Whichever team stops in the Champions League, maybe the coach of which team will lose their position.With the incomparable thirst for the Champions League and the pursuit of glory, the two teams will usher in a battle of life and death!

The luckiest in this draw is Real Madrid.

They drew the recognized weakest team in the quarter-finals-Ajax.

Although the Ajax youth team's performance in this year's Champions League is very eye-catching, they made a strong qualifying in the death group, and then staged a Jedi reversal in the quarter-finals, defeated CSKA Moscow, and broke into the quarter-finals of the Champions League .But after the result of the draw came out, almost no one thought that they could beat Real Madrid and stage a good show of young warriors standing out from the encirclement.

In the two rounds against Real Madrid, how much trouble Ajax's young people can cause Real Madrid is a question that everyone is very concerned about.

Everyone thinks that Real Madrid is very lucky and got the lottery, but Mourinho seemed a little disappointed when he was interviewed by reporters.

"If I had to choose, I would prefer to meet Manchester United or Barcelona, ​​otherwise it would be better to meet Manchester City and Bayern, so that we can play more happily."

The Portuguese is still so proud, but looking at Real Madrid's results this season, he does have the capital to be proud.

When three groups of opponents were drawn from the quarterfinals of the Champions League, the remaining two teams were naturally divided together.

The remaining two teams are Manchester United and Juventus.

When Jin Taige saw the result of the lottery, he was immediately happy.

"Juventus have been lucky this season. They have been taken care of by the referee since the group stage; in the last eighth finals, they got the benefits of misjudgment again and again, and were lucky to eliminate Liverpool. However, their luck It's over. Now they have drawn Manchester United in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, which means they have only two games left in the Champions League this season."

Phelan felt regretful: "If Juventus didn't rely on referees to profit, then I should be facing Liverpool now. If so, we would have completed six kills in a single season in these two games! It's very cool to think about it! Juventus ruined our chances of killing Liverpool six times, we must rub them on the ground!"
