Back to the La Liga, the fifth round of the La Liga continued.

The three Champions League teams started relatively late. Real Madrid defeated Zaragoza 3-1 away, and Barcelona defeated Real Sociedad five-zero at home.

Valencia won Osasuna with some difficulty, and after all, the team scored three-pointers in the league.

Barcelona and Real Madrid scored points too steadily. If Valencia had a more unstable score, they would have been left behind by the La Liga doubles long ago.

Xu Qi did not start in this game, but came on as a substitute. He also performed very well after he came on as a substitute.

Not only did he help the team plan the goal offensively, but he also staged a good show of saving the goal line in a set piece defense.

After this round of La Liga, there will be another Cup of Kings Rey, with Valencia playing against Villarreal at home.

Villarreal is now ranked fourth in the standings and its strength is very close to Valencia. However, in this game, Emery did not take out all the main players to compete with Villarreal.

Villarreal actually had a certain rotation in Chengdu, so the importance of both sides and the exciting content of the game are actually not as good as the ones in the league.

Of course, Xu Qi rested in this game. Both sides' offenses were not strong, and the final score was a zero-to-zero score.

In fact, there are many draws in this round of the King's Cup and few goals.

The only game with a lot of goals was Real Madrid's 8-0 massacre of Levante.

...

The draw ceremony of the Champions League quarterfinals was finally held in Nyon, and people are looking forward to the performance of many duels.

The first in the eight groups are: Valencia, Lyon, Manchester United, Barcelona, ​​Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Chelsea, and Donetsk Miners.

The second in the eight groups are: Tottenham Hotspur, Schalke 04, Bremen, Copenhagen, Roma, Marseille, AC Milan, and Arsenal.

Among the second in the eight groups, Valencia hopes to meet a team like Copenhagen, but it is not easy to meet Valencia, which is obviously everyone has to meet.

The draw of lots was quick and the final showdown was established.

The first one to draw was Real Madrid. They drew a not-so-good draw, and they met Tottenham Hotspur.

But of course Real Madrid is more optimistic.

Immediately afterwards, another North London team, Arsenal, was drawn. They were very lucky and met the powerful Barcelona.

The two North London players compete against the two La Liga players. In fact, they don’t like the opponents they meet with these four teams, but it is obvious that the two La Liga players are more optimistic.

Both of these matches have attracted great attention.

Later, Lyon met Bremen, which was a relatively weak showdown.

Then, another focus battle was drawn out, and Bayern Munich met AC Milan!

This draw was a bit explosive. This draw has already drawn three focus games in the quarterfinal draw, especially AC Milan against Bayern Munich, and Barcelona against Arsenal. It is indeed very eye-catching.

So far, Valencia has not drawn out, followed by Manchester United's matchup with Marseille, and another Premier League team, Chelsea, draws Copenhagen.

Two North London teams met with the draw, but Manchester United and Chelsea had good luck in signing. When they met Marseille and Copenhagen, they were almost equivalent to being led.

The last duel is naturally Valencia duel Schalke 04.

This is not a contest between two weak teams, and of course it is not a confrontation between two giants. However, both teams are very powerful. The key is that this game has a very eye-catching feature.

"China derby! The Chinese derby has finally been staged. Schalke 04, who has Hao Junmin, and Valencia, who has Xu Qi. Some scenes that many Chinese fans are looking forward to have been staged. There may be many duels in the Champions League quarterfinal this season, but what attracts my attention is undoubtedly this duel. The Chinese derby was staged in the Champions League quarterfinal!" Duan Xuaner, who live broadcast the Champions League draw ceremony, seemed quite excited. Such a scene has been missing for many years.

A few years ago, there were several Chinese derby scenes in the Premier League. Li Tie, Sun Jihai and Zheng Zhi had experiences of confronting each other when they gained a foothold in the Premier League, but many years have passed.

Now, such a scene appears in the Champions League knockout stage, which is really exciting.

However, as soon as this showdown appeared, some Chinese fans did not show any excitement. After all, Hao Junmin can only be regarded as a substitute in Schalke 04, and there are not many opportunities to play. Xu Qi is the thigh of Valencia. Many fans are a little unhappy about some people forcibly putting the two people in a tie.

Although this is a gimmick, the showdown between the two is not balanced.

However, no matter what, this game is probably a big deal for many domestic fans, although the game will probably start for more than two months.

When Xu Qi learned who the Champions League opponent was, he did not consider these things. He felt that Schalke 04 was not an easy opponent to deal with. Of course, this opponent was much better than a match like Arsenal.

The Champions League will happen two months later. Now Xu Qi’s task is to first play pre-Christmas games with the team, and then enjoy the following Christmas holidays.

In fact, although it was the Christmas holiday, Xu Qi took on many commercial activities. There was no way, and many activities could not be pushed away. After all, it was too popular.

In the last game before the Christmas holiday, in the 16th round of La Liga, Valencia played against Real Sociedad away.

Real Sociedad is actually not bad. Now La Liga ranks ninth and is in the middle of the game. This team has always been a difficult bone to crack.

This game is the last game before the winter break, and Xu Qi is of course the starter.

Valencia launched a fierce attack at the beginning of the game, but Real Sociedad goalkeeper Bravo received a high and low block, which made Valencia difficult to score for a while.

However, Griezmann, a young player on Real Sociedad's forward, performed well in this game and took the lead in setting a first record for the team.

This situation made Valencia a little passive for a while, but at the critical moment, Xu Qi stood up and shot the cloud-piercing arrow to directly help the team equalize the score.

Then Xu Qi assisted Aduris in the last stage of the second half to overtake the score, and Valencia continued to win in a row.

It still maintains a gap of six points and four points in the standings against Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.

The schedule is about to pass halfway, and Valencia is indeed a good achievement.

Xu Qi has also received several awards recently, all of which were praised by some media, including "As" and "Valun Sports", which gave Xu Qi some awards such as the best foreign aid and best rookie in the new season.
