By Southampton standards, City's draw wasn't too bad.
The Blue Moon draws are Simeone's Atletico Madrid, Serie A's Roma, and Monchengladbach.
As the saying goes, good things come in pairs, and I just happened to have enough of the four major European leagues to gather around a table and play mahjong.
Manchester City's biggest problem is that the team's hard power is not strong enough.
Relying on the accumulation of the past few years, Manchester City has finally entered the second tier of teams steadily, but the draw results have never been good, and they are basically bound to encounter strong teams.
Simeone's Atletico Madrid has been the most difficult team in Europe in the past few years, giving everyone a headache if they touch it.
If we look at the hard power, the Shenxi Legion is firmly at the level of the top eight.
If they perform well, it will not be a problem to enter the semi-finals.
Even if they perform at a super level and win the championship, it is not completely out of the question.
What Manchester City is most afraid of is this kind of tenacious team, especially a team like Atletico Madrid.
Its own strength is not weaker than Manchester City, and the team's integrity is so strong.
Who knows who touches it.
If only Atletico Madrid was drawn, that would be a bit better, but unfortunately, the team in the third pot was drawn by Roma, and the team in the fourth pot was drawn by Monchengladbach.
You know, although Roma ranks behind Inter Milan and Juventus in Serie A, in terms of combat effectiveness, they are not afraid of European teams at all.
The only ones who can really crush the Giallorossi are Samanan and its four giants. .
As for Monchengladbach, its combat effectiveness is not very strong and it is a novice, so relatively speaking, it is easier to handle.
But the problem is, Bundesliga teams can explode anytime and anywhere.
Who knows if Monchengladbach will do the same?
So, as soon as the lottery results came out, Mubarak's face immediately started singing.
He seemed to be crying out his depression in a sad singing voice, why is it always me who is unlucky every time?
Not to mention, it’s really fate Barcelona's draw was ridiculously good, almost a walk-off, with Zenit St.
Petersburg, Galatasaray and Malmo drawn.
Real Madrid also had great luck, drawing Benfica, Dynamo Kiev and Dinamo Zagreb.
Judging from the draw, both Western Premier League teams can be said to have safely entered the knockout round of the top 16.
In fact, given their level, they would be embarrassed to qualify if they didn't finish first in the group.
Ajax's fate was also quite tragic, being drawn against Manchester United, CSKA Moscow and Hamburg.
Yang Huan was quite helpless about this.
They were fighting with each other, who is more likely to advance?
Judging from the cards, Manchester United is almost certain to advance.
With one spot left, Hamburg has the best hope, but Ajax and CSKA Moscow are not without a chance.
Bayern Munich can now be said to be UEFA's gold medal player, specializing in fighting local tyrants and evil gentry, and specifically targeting the Premier League.
In the past, it was either Arsenal or Manchester City.
This season, it is the new big tycoon, Tottenham Hotspur.
The other two teams are Shakhtar Donetsk and Olympiacos.
Judging from the four teams in this group, Bayern Munich and Tottenham Hotspur are the most likely to advance.
Inter Milan's luck in the draw was also not ideal.
They were drawn Valencia, Lyon and Anderlecht respectively.
They were once again at odds with each other.
Yang Huan was also very helpless about this.
With more teams of our own, it is inevitable that they will meet in the European arena.
Anyway, let's just fight.
Strength will speak for itself.
As soon as the lottery results came out, some people were happy and some were sad.
Southampton is very powerful, and whoever gets hit will be unlucky.
Therefore, no matter who the Saints draw, they basically have the same attitude.

On the contrary, it is Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Wolfsburg.
I really want to cry.
The expression.
"Master Huan, judging from the lottery results, our team's situation this year is not optimistic."
Peter Kenyon, who was sitting next to Yang Huan, frowned and said.
He is the CEO of Miracle Football Group and is responsible for managing the company.
Whether the team can qualify from the group is also related to the income of each team.
Yang Huan nodded, "Not surprising, many teams have increased their investment, the Saints group qualifying is not a big problem, Ajax and Hamburg have met Manchester United and CSKA, it would be good to have one qualifying group. " "Benfica is also more likely to qualify.
Atletico Madrid and Monaco will be fine as long as they perform normally.
However, Inter Milan and Anderlecht are also quite worrying."
The current problem for Inter Milan and Hamburg is not the overall strength of the team, but the experience of the European war.
Both teams have reorganized their lineups this summer.
Although the overall strength has improved, it is difficult to say whether there will be problems in the European competition.
Playing in the Champions League, the tactics are more targeted and the requirements for the overall strength of the team are also higher.
Even if you act on the spot and fight on multiple fronts, if one thing is not handled well, it may collapse.
"There are no underdogs in the Champions League," Peter Kenyon sighed.
UEFA's reforms have undoubtedly intensified competition in the group stages.
Coupled with the rise of capital-acquired teams such as Tottenham Hotspur and Valencia, the competition in the Champions League will become increasingly fierce.
From a fan's perspective, of course the more intense the better.
But for team operators, intensity represents risk.
Yang Huan smiled slightly and said: "It's okay.
Just tell them to play hard and play as hard as they can.
Concentrating on running the league well is the key."
"Well, understand, our team has not set a target in the Champions League this season," Peter Kenyon said.
For teams including Inter Milan, Hamburg, Benfica, Anderlecht and Monaco, the Champions League is certainly a bonus, but the key is to do a good job in the league.
As long as they can safely participate in the Champions League every season, the team's income will be guaranteed, and they will be eliminated in this big wave and maintain their status as a first-tier European team.
Yang Huan's most competitive teams now are actually Southampton and Atletico Madrid.
"By the way, Aek Athens seems to have returned to the first division, right?"
Yang Huan asked with concern.
This Greek team was relegated before, but after being acquired by Yang Huan, it took more than a year to finally return to the First Division.
"Yes, we have imported a lot of players this summer, so there will definitely be no problem in avoiding relegation."
Yang Huan nodded, "Please note that our goal is not to avoid relegation, but to qualify for the Champions League."
Just like the Greek league where Aek Athens is located, despite the current economic downturn in Greece and even bankruptcy, in the Champions League bonus pool, Greece's bonuses are as high as more than 10 million euros, and there is usually only one team.
In other words, the team that represents Greece in the Champions League can exclusively enjoy this generous bonus income.
Therefore, quickly helping Athens Aek rise, defeating Olympiacos, and successfully qualifying for the European competition has become the top priority for Athens Aek.
"I understand, Master Huan."
Peter Kenyon nodded in agreement, "I will let them formulate a plan as soon as possible.
They will continue to increase their investment in Aek Athens this season and strive to return to the Champions League as soon as possible."
"Well, in addition, Basel and Vienna, Austria, will also need to further increase their investment."
Both teams were eliminated in the Champions League qualifiers this season.
Among them, Tottenham Hotspur eliminated Basel.
Yang Huan was almost crying.
Nime, I don’t know which bastard drew the lottery, and actually let Tottenham Hotspur go to Basel.
If I knew, I would beat him into a pig head.
Just as Master Huan was gnashing his teeth in his heart, on Grimaldi's stage, UEFA President Platini suddenly sneezed.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
Although he reacted quickly and wanted to cover the microphone, he couldn't make it in time.
This big sneeze was transmitted to the entire audience through the microphone.
Suddenly, the whole audience burst into laughter.
This UEFA president was so funny.
However, everyone also feels that this may have something to do with the pressure he has been under recently.
Everyone knows that he is facing a ban from FIFA.
Instead, standing next to him, UEFA Secretary General Gianni Infantino, looked very high-spirited.
Now, he should be regarded as a candidate for FIFA president, which UEFA is vigorously promoting.
"Okay, the draw is over, now we start to enter the last part, which is the award ceremony for the European Player of the Season," Gianni Infantino introduced with a smile on the stage.
"About a month ago, we have announced the top three best players selected by fifty-four journalists.
They are Suarez, who plays for Southampton, once played for Real Madrid, and now plays for Real Madrid.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who played for Tottenham Hotspur, and Messi, who played for Barcelona and now plays for Southampton.”
As Infantino announced, the heads of three players appeared one by one on the big screen behind him.
There was a burst of warm applause.
The competition between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo is not surprising at all, because the two of them have almost monopolized all European football honors in the past few years.
If performance really speaks for itself, then Hazard and Sanchez are not inferior to them at all.
But unfortunately, the latter two players are slightly inferior to the two in terms of influence.
Even Suarez, who made it to the top three, is not as good as the two.
If nothing unexpected happens, this will also be a competition between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
"Now, let's look at rankings four to ten" With a finger of Infantino's hand, the points and rankings of the remaining seven players were displayed on the big screen.
Following the three are goalkeeper Neuer, Hazard, Toni Kroos, Sanchez, Tevez, Neymar and Isco.
In the ten-man roster, Southampton has a total of five players selected: Suarez, Neuer, Hazard, Toni Kroos and Sanchez.
If you add the recently transferred Messi, there are a total of six players.
From this point we can see how powerful the Saints are.
Of course, all this is also due to the Saints successfully defending the Champions League and Premier League last season.
Barcelona has Neymar and Messi selected, Real Madrid only has Cristiano Ronaldo, and Atletico Madrid has Tevez and Isco selected.
The strength of La Liga is also evident.
On the contrary, Bayern Munich, the runner-up in the Champions League, did not even have a single finalist, which is somewhat suspicious.
But this is not surprising.
Bayern Munich pays attention to the team.
When Ribery and Robben are old, there is really no top-notch frontcourt player in the team, and Thomas Muller is not worthy of that kind of award.
The type of player you like.
Lewandowski is good, but this time he did not enter the top ten.
No one knows where he is.
As soon as the list was announced, there was an uproar in the venue.
Because in this ten-person list, the Premier League now occupies seven of them, and the remaining three are in La Liga, namely Barcelona's Neymar, and Atletico Madrid's Tevez and Isco.
But the most embarrassing thing should be Real Madrid.
After selling Cristiano Ronaldo, there is not even one person in the list of Galacticos.
This somewhat makes Florentino face a shame.
That is, amid the uproar of everyone in the audience, Infantino on the stage invited three players who were shortlisted for the second round.
The live music also started to get intense.
Obviously, the final prize is about to be revealed
