In the center of the Donbas Arena, some AC Milan veterans also left tears of regret.

Perhaps this group of players who have been in football for many years have won the Champions League championship, but pursuing the next championship is always the most important dream of this group of players.

No one will lose interest in this champion just because he has this champion.

There will never be too many champions.

Xu Qi knew that the feeling of losing was really painful, and it was difficult to accept that the dream stopped.

Isn't it the same with him? Is it possible for the Donetsk miners to reach the end?

This is impossible no matter how you look at it. Perhaps in the next round of knockout match, the Donetsk Miners will be swept out by the opponent.

Eliminating AC Milan does not mean that they can go to the end.

The road to the top of Europe is full of thorns.

After completing the crazy celebration with his teammates, Xu Qi also walked to the AC Milan players and hugged them one by one.

The scene after the game looks very harmonious.

In another match held at the same time, Ligue 1 powerhouse Bordeaux defeated Olympiacos 2-1, and successfully advanced to the Champions League quarter-finals with a total score of 3-1.

At this point, all eight teams that entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season have emerged.

They are Barcelona, ​​La Liga, Manchester United and Arsenal, Bundesliga, Bayern Munich, Serie A, Inter Milan, Ligue 1, Lyon and Bordeaux, and finally the Donetsk miners of the Ukrainian Super League!

This is also the first time in the history of Donetsk Miners to enter the quarterfinals of the Champions League. Xu Qi and his teammates have created history. In fact, they have created many history before this. Whether it is the UEFA Champions League championship last season or the successful qualifying of the Champions League group this season, they are not in the history of Donetsk Miners.

Among the quarterfinals now, only the Donetsk Miners team is a team from non-five leagues, and is the only one in the minor leagues.

There will be a draw for the quarter-finals on Friday. This draw for the quarter-finals will not have the rules of avoiding the same group or avoiding the same league. It is not surprising that two teams in the Premier League have entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League. What is more surprising is that Ligue 1, they also have two teams in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

After the game, the team's chairman Akmetov was very happy and added another 500,000 euros to encourage him.

...

Two days later, the draw ceremony for the quarterfinals of the Champions League finally began.

Xu Qi was also very curious about who their next opponent would be.

Each of the remaining teams is an extremely powerful opponent, and it is almost impossible to enter the Champions League semi-finals.

In the history of the Champions League, no non-hero team has entered the Champions League semi-finals for many years.

In the Champions League season in 2003-04, La Coruña, Chelsea, Porto and Monaco entered the semi-finals, which was the most popular teams in the Champions League semi-finals.

In the following 2004-05 season, Eindhoven also made it to the Champions League semi-finals, and in the 2005-06 season, Villarreal also made it to the Champions League semi-finals.

After that, no non-hero team has entered the Champions League semi-finals.

It can be said that in today's football world, it is already dark enough to reach the quarterfinals, and the semi-finals are almost impossible for the semi-finals.

The draw ceremony for the Champions League quarter-finals is still held in UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

The first matchup that was drawn was incredible to everyone, because Lyon met Bordeaux, who was also a Ligue 1 team.

This surprised all the giant teams that were looking forward to meeting these two teams.

Originally, there were three non-wealthy teams in the quarterfinals, namely Lyon, Bordeaux and Donetsk Miners. At this time, Ang and Bordeaux were brought together, which obviously means that there must be two groups of giants in the remaining giants, and only one team may draw the relatively weak Donetsk Miners.

At this time, the faces of the officials of the Donetsk Miners became green, which means that no matter who they met next, they would be an incredibly powerful team.

Serie A has won four consecutive championships and is striving for Inter Milan, which has won five consecutive championships (one of which was deprived of the championship for the phone goal Juventus was transferred to Inter Milan), Bundesliga overlord Bayern Munich, Barcelona Dream Team Three in La Liga, Red Devils Manchester United and Gunner Arsenal in the Big 4 of the Premier League.

No matter which team it is, its strength is faintly above the AC Milan team they had struggled to defeat before.

"As long as we don't encounter Barcelona and Manchester United, we should have a glimmer of hope." Archimenev, the senior executive of the Donetsk Miners, prayed.

The team drawn in the second group is Manchester United, and their opponent is Bayern Munich, who has a deep grudge against Manchester United.

From the former Camp Nou Miracle to the later Bayern stepping on Manchester United to win the Champions League again, these two teams are indeed two rivals with stories.

Afterwards, another group of eye-catching duels emerged, and Barcelona will face Arsenal!

The showdown between two teams pursuing offensive football, this game is even more attractive to some neutral fans than the showdown between Manchester United and Bayern, because many people think that the showdown between Barcelona and Arsenal will definitely be very exciting and gorgeous.

The last set of matches left is Inter Milan against Donetsk Miners!

"Have a chance!" When Archimenev saw that the opponent he met was Archimenev, he felt that there were some opportunities. After all, Inter Milan is not a desperate opponent because they just eliminated AC Milan.

However, if you want to play against the two Milan champions in the Champions League, there is no one else in the Donetsk Miners' luck.

They were extremely envious of Lyon and Bordeaux, because the duel between these two teams can be said to have encountered the opponents they wanted to meet.

However, some people don’t like this lottery result. Many people think that Lyon draws Bordeaux as UEFA President Platini is leading his motherland’s team to the semi-finals.

However, no matter how they criticize UEFA and Platini, they cannot change the next schedule.

The Champions League knockout round will be held soon, on March 31 and April 1 respectively.

The four teams that play at home are Lyon, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan.

The Donetsk Miners are the first away and then hosting, which is relatively beneficial on the court. However, facing the Inter Milan led by Mourinho, they want to pass the game smoothly, but they are afraid that the schedule of the first away and then hosting may not have any advantages.

After all, in the quarterfinals, Inter Milan eliminated the powerful Chelsea in a relatively unfavorable schedule.

After establishing his opponent, Xu Qi also began to look forward to it.

The schedule is very close, because in a week, the quarter-finals of the Champions League will start, and at the same time, the Ukrainian Super League has also started again.

Due to some external environment reasons, the offseason of the Ukrainian League this season is long and the schedule is a bit chaotic, so the Donetsk Miners' schedule will be very close during the next period.
Chapter completed!
