Chapter 462 Winning the Champions League Draw (Thanks to Robinson Crusoe for the support)
……

People are in high spirits on happy occasions and don't care about a lot.

Although He Yu's life was a little messed up because of Ludovica's arrival.

But as long as he returns to the court or training, he is still the most stable player.

Before the winter break, there is the last battle, the Christmas War, against Naples.

But before that, the more important day was the night when the lottery was drawn.

……

The drama of the Champions League group stage is over, and what follows is the draw for the knockout round.

The head coaches of the 16 first-line teams also took time to fly to Switzerland.

This time the draw ceremony was held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. In the top 16, there are as many as 4 teams from the Premier League.

The other teams are 2 each from La Liga, Serie A, Bundesliga, and Ligue 1, and [-] each from the Russian, Ukrainian, Portuguese, and Greek Super Leagues.

Chelsea, as the defending champion, is still efficient, winning all 6 games in the group stage and qualifying. It seems unstoppable and defending is in sight.

And in the group stage, it was also full of surprises...

Monaco fought against Real Madrid in Group A and won the first place in the group;

CSKA Moscow in Group B, as the team in the fourth tier, defeated Eindhoven and Naples in the same group, and qualified for the group;

The veteran Champions League powerhouse in Group F, Olympiacos, beat Arsenal in the same group to qualify, and also broke the situation where five Premier League teams advanced to the top 16 at the same time...

Of course, the most eye-catching is AC Milan in Group E, who won the first place in the group after the return of the king.It even squeezed out of Barcelona, ​​repeating the style of the year.

You know, of all the clubs present, Real Madrid still ranks first in the number of Champions League champions.

Followed by AV Milan, who has won the championship 7 times.

It was true ten years ago, and it is true now.

A trance, like returning to the football world more than ten years ago...

The draw is about to start, and the teams are divided into two groups:

One group is composed of the top team in the group, and the other group is composed of the second-place team in the group. The teams in the same group are shunned, and the teams in the same league are shunned.

The two teams are divided into two groups according to the ranking of the group:
Group A: Monaco (France), Real Madrid (Spain);

Group B: Manchester United (England), CSKA Moscow (Russia);

Group C: Atletico Madrid (Spain), Benfica (Portugal);

Group D: Liverpool (England), Juventus (Italy);

Group E: AC Milan (Italy), Manchester City (England);

Group F: Bayern (Germany), Olympiacos (Greece);

Group G: Chelsea (England), Dynamo Kiev (Ukraine);

Group H: Paris Saint-Germain (France), Borussia Dortmund (Germany).

……

The first one to be drawn was Manchester City in the same group as Milan. Their opponent was Monaco, whose strength should not be underestimated.

At this time, the Milan players who watched the live broadcast of the draw also responded in their hearts.

If they accidentally become second in the group, Manchester City's opponent will also become their opponent.

However, after thinking about it, Monaco is fine, it is considered to be a relatively weak team in the top of the group.

Of course, Milan himself is excluded first...

Finally, when all the teams draw lots, some are happy and some are sad:
Monaco VS Manchester City;

Manchester United VS Benfica;
Atletico Madrid VS Dortmund;

Liverpool vs CSKA Moscow;
AC Milan VS Dynamo Kiev;
Bayern VS Juventus;

Chelsea VS Real Madrid;

Paris Saint-Germain vs Olympiacos…

Kaka's face was rosy from the moment the lottery was drawn.

This time, compared to the previous draw for the group stage, he obviously felt more confident.

During the group stage, it was a training for the group of death.But this time, it was a big sign.

The expected three Eastern European teams finally met one, and it was a relatively weak one.

So much so that the outside world agreed that the strongest dialogue in the quarter-finals was between Real Madrid and Chelsea.

The weakest dialogue is between Milan and Dynamo Kiev.

……

The football draw is a very popular thing recently.

The draw ceremony for the group stage of the 2026 Three Nations World Cup in North America was also completed at this time.The 48 participating teams from all continents were finally divided into groups one by one.

Just wait for next year's June, the World Cup will reignite the flames of war again.

This is also the first time the World Cup has been expanded to 48 teams and 8.5 places in Asia. For the national football team, it is somewhat ironic.

After all, under such a superior premise, they still failed to qualify, which is really chilling.

Fortunately, several well-known international players have already gained a firm foothold in their respective overseas clubs.

Winger Li Junchuang is the leading representative, still playing for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League, and is the absolute main force;

Center Zhang Yulin, played for the veteran Bundesliga team, Hamburg;
Winger Lin Liangmin, playing for Mirandez in La Liga;

The defender high-altitude wing also moved to the upstart of Ligue [-], Paris FC.

In addition, there are many young players who play for clubs large and small in Europe.

But judging from these special cases, there should still be some hope for the next four years of the national football team.

In the 2030 Centennial World Cup, several of them are around 30 years old, which is also the golden stage of their careers.

Of course, it is also the last chance...

He Yu didn't pay much attention to the World Cup draw.From his own point of view, he is really not interested.

After all, without our participation...

In addition, the next league game, which is the last game in 2025, the big game before Christmas, is coming soon.

He didn't have much thought to pay attention to other things.

……

Christmas war, Milan vs. Naples.

As a guest, Ludovica once again appeared in the VIP box of San Siro.

As long as there is a shot of her in the live broadcast, it will attract ghosts and wolves for a while.

This little girl is very popular in the international entertainment industry, in Italy, in Milan, and in Rosen's inner circle.

Not long ago, another year's "Top 5 Most Beautiful Faces in the World" was released, and she was on the list one after another, and she was already ranked No. [-].

There have been several nominations for Oscars and other awards.Although I haven't won it yet, it can be regarded as a very well-known actress in the world.

And because of its fresh and refined, playful and lovely image, it is deeply loved by major brands.Her commercial endorsements, advertisements, etc., are too numerous to count.

In short, her face is almost the facade of the country of Italy now.

……

The game still came, and in this sunny afternoon, Milan finally defeated Naples 3-1.

The process is exciting, first falling behind, and then scoring again and again, and Naples was firmly won.

Compared with last year, this Christmas can be said to be a warm winter...
