Chapter 476
Before the game, no one expected that Manchester City's last Champions League group match would end in a fan riot.
When the 90 minutes came, the referee didn't care about the extra time and blew the whistle to end the game.
In the ESPN live broadcast room, Wang Tao, who likes to watch the fun, made a post-match summary in a teasing tone.
"The game is over!"
"Manchester City 0:0 Galatasaray, the two teams fought for 90 minutes and finally shook hands and made peace."
"We can see that the stadium is now full of snacks and drink bottles thrown by Turkish fans."
"Many rational fans have chosen to leave early, but some fans continue to yell at the stadium."
"After the whistle sounded, the players of both teams quickly slipped back to the player tunnel."
"Otherwise, if they continue to stay on the green field, they may be beaten up by crazy players!"
"Let's get back to the topic."
"Congratulations to Manchester City for the perfect ending of this Champions League group stage with 5 wins and 1 draw!"
"In half an hour!"
"UEFA will hold the draw ceremony for the Champions League round of 16 in Monaco, France."
"Fans can pay attention to the homepage of our ESPN official website, and we will release the final draw results to everyone as soon as possible."
"Today's game live broadcast ends here."
"Everyone . "
"See you next time!"
.................................................
On the other side.
The visiting team's locker room was very happy, and the Manchester City players were chattering about the riot in the stands just now.
"Haha, did you see it? Their head coach was thrown a banana peel!"
"The Turkish fans are really irritable."
"Compared with our Premier League hooligan fans, they are still a little worse. No one has climbed over the railings and rushed in."
"I didn't dare to shoot in the last few minutes."
"If I score by accident."
"I'm really afraid that they will overturn the stadium."
Barton's joke made everyone laugh, and Knight took out two bottles of champagne from somewhere.
"Brothers!"
"Congratulations on our successful advancement to the top 16 of the Champions League!"
"Come on! Boss! You open this champagne!"
Stuart took the champagne very cooperatively, shook it twice, and opened it with a bang, and the foam gushed out.
"Nice!!"
"Yeah!!"
"We are the champions!!"
"Hahaha, the champions of the top 16, right!"
The players cheered and shouted together.
Su Fei licked the champagne that splashed on his lips.
He was in a good mood.
When it comes to creating an atmosphere, it has to be Knight.
Life needs a sense of ritual.
......
After a little celebration, Stuart took the remote control and started to change the channel on the TV.
The reason why the entire Manchester City team stayed in the locker room.
It was to prepare to watch the draw ceremony together.
Half an hour later.
UEFA staff officially announced the opening of the draw ceremony and introduced the 16 teams that finally stood out from the group stage and advanced.
Chelsea, Barcelona, Bayern, Inter Milan, Manchester City, Eindhoven, Roma, Valencia, Real Madrid, Lyon, Manchester United, Celtic, Arsenal, Porto, AC Milan, Lille.
There was no upset this year.
Especially in the Premier League, four teams joined hands to enter the round of 16.
In the last century, there had never been a situation where four Premier League teams entered the Champions League knockout stage, but since the new century, including 1999-2000 and 2004-2005, there have been three times.
This also indirectly proves that the influence of the Premier League in the entire European top league is increasing day by day.
The draw for the 2006-07 Champions League round of 16 follows three basic principles: avoid the same group, avoid the same league, and the first group draw the second group.
Su Fei looked around.
Basically, the traditional giants all appeared as the first in the group, except for the fiercely competitive Group A.
Chelsea relied on a small win against Barcelona to squeeze the Champions League champion last year into the second echelon of the group.
Yes.
In other words, as long as it is not the most unlucky 1/7, the round of 16 will not be too difficult.
Stuart and other Manchester City players naturally have the same idea as Su Fei.
Knight also took a sip of champagne.
"Let's play Barcelona, who's afraid of who? Even if the defending champion comes, they will lose to us!"
"Shut up! You can play anyone, just don't play Barcelona!"
"Come on, I'll pick one, we'll play Lille in the round of 16!"
"Lille is indeedNot bad. "
"Porto is also OK."
The players looked at Knight with contempt and expressed their thoughts one after another. However, one minute later, when the draw result belonging to Manchester City was revealed.
The whole locker room became dead silent.
Because.
When it was Manchester City's turn to draw the opponent, the host took out the small ball with the FCB Barcelona logo printed on it.
Stewart:......
Su Fei:......
Manchester City players:......
Knight was dumbfounded and looked at Stewart with fake tears.
"Boss, I really didn't expect my mouth to be so smart..."
"Okay, it doesn't matter who you draw. Our goal this year is not just the top 16. It's only a matter of time before we meet a strong team like Barcelona. Bring out your momentum just now. The defending champion will lose to us!"
Stewart quickly adjusted his mood, waved his hand, and turned to encourage the players.
Knight nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Boss is right! We have won and lost along the way, but we have never been afraid! First we beat Barcelona, then Bayern, then Milan, and finally Chelsea in the final and win the trophy! "
A series of powerful teams came out of Knight's mouth.
Su Fei had the urge to rush up and cover his mouth.
Damn it.
Why do I have a bad feeling.
Is it really possible to fulfill Knight's words and embark on the most difficult road to win the championship?
But after Knight shouted like this.
The atmosphere in the locker room also eased, and everyone looked forward to the match with Barcelona.
On the TV.
The draw ceremony ended.
In the end, all the results were announced on the big screen.
Arsenal vs Porto, Manchester United vs Lille, Bayern vs Real Madrid, AC Milan vs Celtic, Lyon vs Roma, Manchester City vs Barcelona, Valencia vs Inter Milan, Chelsea vs Porto.
The Manchester City players packed their bags and set off for home.
And the European fan circle has just begun to be concerned about the European The results of the Champions League draw were hotly discussed.
Reporters from various countries also released various news at the first time to warm up for the Champions League round of 16 in advance.
"The Champions League round of 16 matchup table is released, the most anticipated match, Manchester City vs Barcelona!"
"Bayern vs Real Madrid, two super giants meet in the round of 16!"
"Champions League round of 16 seat distribution, 4 Premier League 3 La Liga 3 Serie A 2 Ligue 1 Bundesliga 1 Scottish Premier League 1 Portuguese Super League 1 Eredivisie"
