According to UEFA's classification rules, Barcelona currently has the highest ranking in European Cup points, followed by Chelsea, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United, and the four Premier League giants all ranked in the top five.

From this point of view, it is not difficult to see the strength of the Premier League today.

Especially Chelsea, although Gao Han is not interested in Abramovich, the Russians' large investment has indeed ensured the competitiveness of the Blues in the European arena.

The remaining three teams are Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan and Lyon.

The team with the highest European score in the Bundesliga is Bayern Munich, ranking second in the second place, behind Real Madrid.

These two teams are also the ones that all first-tier teams are most reluctant to encounter. Whoever touches will be unlucky, especially Bayern Munich.

The high and cold weather is famous, and everyone is praying to God and worshiping Buddha to avoid this killing god.

But the first thing to do is to award various awards.

Although Barcelona finally won the Champions League last season, the performance of many players in the team was not satisfactory, especially goalkeeper Valdes, whose unstable performance made it difficult for him to win the award.

The final winner of the goalkeeper of the year was Peter Cech from Atletico Madrid.

The Czech goalkeeper's performance in the Bedsheet Legion was amazing, and he was so perfect that he had almost no shortcomings.

Gao Han has coached for so many years and has brought out many goalkeepers. Van der Sar, Cesar and Neuer have all been selected as the shortlist for the best goalkeeper this time, but there is no doubt that Cech has proved his strength with a stable and continuous high level of performance.

The Czech goalkeeper won the best goalkeeper for two consecutive seasons, giving him the ability to compete with Casillas and even Buffon.

Because he participated in the national team training camp, Cech was unable to come to the scene, and Atletico Madrid general manager Paul Foterre took the trophy on his behalf.

After the best goalkeeper was awarded, the first-level seed teams were grouped, which made little sense.

The second award to be announced is Best Defender, and the competition for this award is more intense.

Barcelona's Puyor, Manchester United's Ferdinand, Bayern Munich's Lucio, and Chelsea's John Terry are all the most powerful contenders in this award, but in the end Puyor took the lead and won the award.

Gao Han had some objections to the ownership of this award.

From the perspective of honor, Puyol deserves his reputation, but from the perspective of overall stable performance, Terry is better.

From the perspective of fans, Lucio must be even better, because his performance last season was a big surprise, and he was the defender who scored the most goals in European football last season.

As for Ferdinand, he was affected by his teammate Pepe's lack of stability, but Manchester United's ability to enter the Champions League final is the best proof of his performance.

It should be said that the four shortlists are almost the same in terms of strength and performance, and it is understandable whether they give them to them or not.

However, the best awards are often favored by the Champions League champions.

Bayern Munich often suffers in such awards because it values ​​the Champions League more.

After the awarding of the Best Defender, the award ceremony began to enter the most suspenseful stage, the second draw.

Puyol, who won the best defender, was a guest of the lottery. When asked by the host, although the Barcelona captain smiled and said that he didn't mind drawing any team, when the host asked about Bayern Munich, he still admitted pertinently that Barcelona was not sure enough to win.

"To be honest, I never like Gao Han for many years before, because shortly after I entered the first team, he and his Atletico Madrid left me with an extremely painful shadow. This memory has been spurring and encouraging me over the past few years."

"But later, as I gradually accumulated experience, I had some outstanding teammates around me, many of whom included Etoo, Ronaldinho, Deco, Pique and Messi, who all played under Gao Han's command. I could clearly realize that they were different from other players."

"That's a very interesting difference, but I can't say what it feels like."

When Puyol said this, he seemed to realize that he was talking a little too much and smiled awkwardly.

"Actually, I mean, I don't mind winning Bayern Munich. It's not a matter of winning or losing, but I think Gao Han and his team are like a mirror. Through him, you can understand yourself more clearly and improve yourself."

Puyor's neither humble nor arrogant answer immediately won him a lot of applause.

Regardless of whether this is his true words, many people present may have reflected in their hearts. Is it a bit of a suspicion of being timid before the fight?

It seemed that Puyol's courage brought him good luck. Barcelona did not draw Bayern Munich, Rome or Juventus in the end, but instead drew Sporting Lisbon in the Portuguese Super League. They were obviously lucky.

Chelsea drew Roma, Inter Milan drew Werder Bremen, Liverpool drew Eindhoven...

After the four-round draw, four teams with great strength are left, namely Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Porto and Juventus, and this second-tier team will face Manchester United, Lyon, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid.

It is obvious that the representatives of these four seed teams are not good-looking because of their bad luck.

After Juventus' relegation, its strength has indeed weakened a lot. However, the lean camel is bigger than the horse, and the Serie A team is notoriously difficult to deal with. As for Porto in the Portuguese Super League, Porto has steadily had the top 16 or even the top 8 in recent years, it should not be underestimated.

Real Madrid is the top 16 every year, but its strength is also good. Bayern Munich is a nightmare that all teams are afraid of.

The atmosphere at the Grimalti Convention Center suddenly became extremely tense, and the scene was so quiet that only the sound of breathing was left.

"Real Madrid!" When Puyol shouted this name vigorously, there was a burst of exclamation at the scene.

Manchester United CEO David Jill immediately closed his eyes and looked relieved.

Obviously, for Manchester United, as long as it is not Bayern Munich, it will be a very good choice.

But the atmosphere at the scene became even more tense, because only three seed teams were left.

Lyon, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, who will become the real unlucky guy?

Everyone at the scene was holding a heart and just waiting anxiously, watching Puyol reach into the ball again and take out a small ball. This time the team drawn out will be the opponent of Lyon Group F.

The live footage is also very spoof. Lyon was also played on the big screen at the same time. The three teams, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid, were represented at the moment. It was obvious that Lyon chairman Olas closed his eyes and prayed to God, while Arsenal and Atletico Madrid were looking forward to driving Bayern Munich.

For Lyon, the first in the group has an advantage in the quarterfinals and can also ensure that the team enters the quarterfinals, which can create more than tens of millions of euros for the team, and Aulas cannot ignore it.

On the stage, Puyol grabbed the ball, spread it apart, took out a note from it, took a look, smiled, showed the note to the guests below, and shouted loudly: "Bayern Munich!"

For a moment, the audience was in an uproar.

Lyon President Auras was Spartan, but everyone around him was excited, especially Paul Fottery of Atletico Madrid. The heart that had originally raised his voice was completely relieved.

He finally understood why Gao Han made people respect and fear.

Who would like to meet his team?

The biggest suspense was drawn, and other draws were no longer suspense.

Arsenal's second-tier team drew Porto and Atletico Madrid drew Juventus. Compared with the unlucky Lyon, their luck was quite good.

As for Bayern Munich, the seed team is Lyon, the third place is Bucharest Stars, the fourth place is Florence from Serie A, and the Purple Lily is also the strongest team among the fourth place teams.

The remaining three awards, the Best Midfielder, was awarded to Barcelona's midfielder Xavi, but the Best Forward and Best Player were given to Inter Milan's Portuguese superstar Cristiano Ronaldo.

One of the important reasons is that the Portuguese scored a lot of goals in the past season, not only helped Inter Milan win the league championship, but also won the European Golden Boot Award, and also performed quite eye-catching in the Champions League.

It should be said that these three awards are well deserved.

After the lottery results were released, Olas's face became extremely ugly.

What is the Death Group?

This is the Death Group!

Before the game was played, I knew that there was no hope of the first place in the group. What's even more terrible is that it was difficult to even protect the second place.

What is this not the Death Group?

In fact, everyone's impression of Group F is also a group of death.

First of all, three of the four teams are from the five major leagues. Bayern Munich is very strong but is ranked second. There is no need to say much about it. Lyon is a Ligue 1 class bully and has great strength. Florence's performance in the Serie A is obvious to all. As for the Bucharest Stars, he is also an old man in the Champions League for many years.

Such a group match combination is indeed fearful, and no one dares to be careless.

However, the group where Liverpool is located should not be underestimated. The second gear is Eindhoven, the third gear is Marseille, and the fourth gear is Villarrell. They are also teams with great strength and can be called another death group.

According to convention, after the lottery is over, the representatives will accept interviews from media reporters, and Gao Han is no exception.

Gao Han expressed that he was very satisfied with the lottery results.

"In fact, no matter who I draw, I will be satisfied, because it is a pleasure for us to be able to return to the Champions League."

"Of course, the group we are in is indeed very challenging and the competition is cruel, but this is the most challenging event in the Champions League, today's world professional football, we will actively deal with it and enjoy the fun of professional football."

Compared with head coach Gao Han's calmness, Ram was interviewed by the media for the first time as the captain of Bayern Munich. He said that after a year of separation, the team will be determined to overcome any difficulties.

"This group is not easy, but we have to accept the challenge, but I don't think it's a group of death. It will be difficult, but it is definitely not a tragedy."

Ram also said in an interview with the media, "The team hopes to become a strong man or even a dominant man in European football again, which requires us not to be afraid of any opponent."

At the end of the interview, Ram also said that head coach Gao Han's rich experience in leading the team will also help the team overcome the difficulties encountered in the Champions League.

“He is a magical head coach and we all believe that under his leadership, we can win the game to the end.”

In addition to captain Ram, General Manager Heness, who represented Bayern Munich in the draw ceremony, also said that returning to the Champions League was assigned to a relatively difficult group, which was not a bad thing for Bayern Munich.

"This helps us to re-know ourselves more clearly."

At the same time, Heness also said that it is very exciting to play against a strong team. Bayern Munich is confident that he will accept such a challenge and stand out from the group stage.

Both the media and the fans are full of confidence in Bayern Munich's advancement.

However, for Gao Han, this is already a future event.

What really stood in front of him was the European Super Cup against Barcelona tomorrow night.
Chapter completed!
