Yang Yang almost broke his leg and caused a stir in Spain. By the middle of the week, after the remaining four games in the quarterfinals of the Champions League were finished, the quarterfinals quickly occupied the pages of major media around the world.
Real Madrid and Barcelona in La Liga, Manchester United and Arsenal in the Premier League, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Bordeaux in the French Ligue 1, CSKA Moscow in the Russian Premier League and Inter Milan in Serie A.
This Champions League quarterfinals come from six leagues, and it is the most scattered season in the past decade.
Needless to say, the six traditional teams of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United, Arsenal, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan, Bordeaux in the group stage beat Bayern Munich and Juventus and qualified as the first in the group.
This team led by French star Blanco once drew away with Juventus in the group stage, defeated Bayern Munich twice at home and away, and then defeated the old woman 2-0 at home, with a very impressive record.
The CSKA Moscow is also unambiguous. It draws Manchester United three-to-three away and defeats Wolfsburg at home. Then in the quarterfinals, in the knockout round, he defeated La Liga powerhouse Sevilla with a 1-to-1 home and 2-to-1 away. The overall strength cannot be underestimated.
You know, Sevilla is one of the eight seed teams in the Champions League this year.
No team that can reach the quarterfinals is a weak team, and it is also exciting to fight against each other.
According to the questionnaire survey conducted by UEFA's official website before the game, the team that fans chose the least willing to meet, Real Madrid led by Yang Yang ranked first, and the reason is very simple. Benitez is known as the king of the cup, and Yang Yang is in good shape now. Coupled with Real Madrid's overall strength, this team has become a nightmare that even the quarterfinals teams are afraid of.
Then naturally it was Barcelona led by Messi. Guardiola's Dream Three team is ambitious this season and wants to make some achievements in the Champions League, especially in La Liga. They are already five points behind Real Madrid. Although the league is unknown, Barcelona's strategy is obviously more inclined to the Champions League.
There is also a fearful team, Mourinho's Inter Milan, which is also very difficult to deal with. The iron will and the iron defense make people feel awe of them.
In the most anticipated duel, Real Madrid and Barcelona are far ahead of the showdown, and many fans even want to see these two La Liga giants meet in the quarterfinals knockout round, eliminating one in advance to avoid the situation where two La Liga giants gather in the Champions League final.
The expected duel in second is Real Madrid's match against Bayern Munich, and Yang Yang faces Van Gaal.
In the past few years, the stories about Yang Yang and Van Gaal have been spread all over the world by the media, and can be said to be a story about the streets.
Van Gaal is Yang Yang's mentor, and Yang Yang has always hoped to have the opportunity to play under Van Gaal. The two are both mentors and friends. In addition, the years of grudges between Bayern Munich and Real Madrid have made the encounter between these two teams destined to be full of topics.
On the second day after the Champions League quarterfinals knockout rounds were all over the world, the draw ceremony for the Champions League quarterfinals knockout round was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
...
The draw was chaired by UEFA Secretary-General Infantino, and Real Madrid senior Butragno served as the guest as the representative of the venue for the finals. The eight teams entering the Champions League finals all sent representatives to attend and witness.
The final result was a bit surprising, and all the duels expected by the outside world did not happen.
Barcelona encountered Arsenal. The last time these two teams met was in the Champions League final. Inter Milan and CSKA Moscow were in the same district. This should be considered as Inter Milan's collision with the national luck and drew the weakest in the quarterfinals.
Bayern Munich beat Bordeaux in Ligue 1. These two teams that met in the group stage are now reunited in the quarterfinals knockout round, which can be said to be a narrow road for enemies.
Real Madrid encountered Manchester United. The Red Devils should be the most tragic team, and they won the tough trick that everyone is most reluctant to encounter.
Real Madrid, trained by the King of Cups Benitez, has gradually taken shape. Yang Yang also showed super combat effectiveness and competitive state in the second half. In addition, world-class stars such as Ibrahimovic, Robben, Sneider, and Xavi Alonso have made Manchester United worry.

The Champions League quarterfinal draw was arranged at noon, which was exactly the time for the players to rest.
At the Carrington training base in Manchester, Manchester United players were all sitting in front of the TV and focused on the draw results, because it was directly related to their opponents in the next game.
When Infantino opened the ball, took out the note with the name of Real Madrid written on it, and turned it over to show it to the live broadcast camera, everyone was obviously stunned for a moment, and then there was a sigh.
He actually won Real Madrid!
This is definitely the opponent that Manchester United most reluctant to meet.
Why?
Benitez is not only good at playing cup games, but also very familiar with the Premier League, not to mention that he also has world-class stars such as Yang Yang, Ibrahimovic, and Robben, especially Yang Yang. His achievements in the Premier League in the past few years, even now, have left a shadow on the hearts of all Premier League teams.
His achievements are so high that they are so high that they have to look up to.
"It's so unlucky, I actually met Real Madrid!"
"Isn't it? This team has been in good shape recently, especially Yang Yang. He just made the fifth son pass the exam, so it's hard to play."
"After the winter break, Real Madrid has gradually taken shape and may become more and more difficult to deal with."
"But no matter what, since you meet, you can only do your best."
There was a lot of discussion in the players' lounge, and it was obvious that the Manchester United players were not very sure.
Of course, maybe, when they go out and face the media, they won’t say this as they are now.
Looking at the whole of Europe, who dares to say that they are confident enough to avoid being at a disadvantage in facing Real Madrid?
Cristiano Ronaldo gritted his teeth and looked at the matchups played on the TV screen. He was completely different from others because before the draw, he prayed more than once, hoping to meet Real Madrid in the quarterfinals knockout match.
He wants to fight Yang Yang!
After the peak of the 2007 to 2008 seasons, Cristiano Ronaldo's form showed a very obvious decline last season, which led to his performance at Manchester United being criticized. The team was also empty-handed. On the other hand, Yang Yang won four championships at Liverpool, went to Spain with honor, and arrived in Real Madrid like a savior.
In the eyes of the Portuguese, all the respect that Yang Yang received in the Bernabeu should have belonged to him.
His agent had an agreement with Calderon, but after Florentino came to power, everything changed.
This season, Cristiano Ronaldo's form has improved significantly. In the 27th round of the league, he scored seven goals, and in the Champions League, he scored seven goals, only one goal behind Yang Yang.
More importantly, this report card was obtained after he had been on the verge of nearly two months. It can be said that he has found his peak state.
Now, he is eager to touch Yang Yang to prove his strength, and at the same time let Florentino see clearly that giving up himself and choosing Yang Yang will be the stupidest mistake he made, the Real Madrid chairman.
All of these are the secrets in Cristiano Ronaldo's heart. He would not tell anyone, but after hearing the comments from his teammates and the remarks of timidity, the Portuguese stood up suddenly.
"We will definitely beat Real Madrid and advance to the semi-finals!" Cristiano Ronaldo said loudly.
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the gym.

On the evening of March 20, in the 27th round of La Liga, Real Madrid faced Sporting Gijon at home.
Real Madrid performed poorly in the first half. Benitez further strengthened the team's offense during the half-time break and replaced Mascherano with Guti, allowing Xavi Alonso to play a single midfielder, and Guti and Sneider formed a double midfielder.
This change completely activates Real Madrid's offensive.
First, Yang Yang's shot was saved by the opponent's goalkeeper, Sneider scored a gap and made a shot.
Then Sneider took a corner kick, Yang Yang grabbed the first landing point, headed the ball, trying to reach a far corner, but Xavi Alonso suddenly rushed to the front of the goal and took the lead to Yang Yang's header into the goal.
This immediately made Yang Yang very depressed.
I didn’t score a goal just now, but it’s fine if the chance turns into an assist by chance. This goal can be scored, but why did I “get assisted” again?
Xavi Alonso ran towards Yang Yang with a smile, constantly saying that he did not mean it, but just happened to run to that position. When he saw the ball flying over, he pushed the ball with a momentum.
But Yang Yang is too innocent. Even if Xavi Alonso doesn't take this move, the goal will be scored.
The goal suddenly turned into an assist, and this feeling was cool.
Then, Sneider passed the ball to the right, and Robben cut in from the right and scored a low shot, winning another goal for Real Madrid, three to zero.
In the final stage of the game, Sporting Gijon suddenly launched an offensive to win a game for the team.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Sporting Gijon three-to-one.
Sneider performed well and was selected as the best player in the game.
...
A week later, the Alonso Perez Stadium in Madrid.
The competition was held in the rain and the venue was very slippery.
Real Madrid scored in the thirteen minutes of the game, and Yang Yang broke Getafe's goal with a direct free kick.
Then Xavi Alonso and Sneijder passed and cooperated continuously, assisting Ibrahimovic to score in the penalty area, 2-0.
Then there was Xavi Alonso's straight pass, Ibrahimovic dunked two Getafe players and then scored, 3-0.
In the 32nd minute of the first half, Sneedla made a cross from the left, Yang Yang grabbed the landing point in the penalty area, headed the ball, scored twice, and expanded the score to four to zero.
Before the first half was over, Getafe scored a goal and former Real Madrid player Parejo scored a goal.
After the second half of the game, Real Madrid began to keep their strength and prepare for the mid-week Champions League match.
In the end, Real Madrid defeated Getafe four-one away.
Chapter completed!
