Chapter 161 Falling behind

In the fifth round of the UEFA Champions League group stage, Schalke 04 defeated Olympiacos 2:0 at home, while Arsenal also won Montpellier 2:0 at home, so the points ranking of Group B has been advanced by one round. locked.

Schalke 04 secured the first place in the group with 13 points, Arsenal secured the second place in the group with 10 points, Olympiacos secured the third place in the group with 6 points to play in the Europa League, Montpellier lost five consecutive defeats without a point, locked Bottom.

Schalke 04 secured the first place in the group one round ahead of schedule, which is quite an unexpected result. After all, before the start of the group stage, the German media basically expected that Schalke 04 would compete for the second place in the group.

However, Schalke 04 is not the only team in the Bundesliga to qualify ahead of schedule. Bayern and Dortmund also both qualified one round ahead of their group.

Although Bayern failed to lock in the first place in the group, Dortmund locked in the first place in the group.

Dortmund is the bigger upset than Schalke 04 among the three teams in the Bundesliga and Champions League. You must know that they were assigned to a group with Real Madrid, Manchester City and Ajax. It is indeed surprising that the round lock team is the first to qualify.

It is worth mentioning that the super death group has already decided the winner in advance. Dortmund locked the first place in the group and Real Madrid locked the second place in the group.

As for the "favourites" Manchester City, they still have a chance to fight for the third place in the group to play in the Europa League, if they want.

This season, three teams from the Bundesliga have qualified one round ahead of schedule, which is the first time in the history of the Champions League.

If Bayern can successfully win the final round and take the first place in the group, then three teams in the Bundesliga will qualify as the first in the group this season. This will also be the first time in the history of the Champions League.

The three teams in the Bundesliga's Champions League are playing well, and the German media has begun to hype it up. Topics such as the rise of the Bundesliga and dominance in Europe have begun to continuously appear on the pages of some small German media.

However, the mainstream media is relatively restrained, because although the Bundesliga is playing well, it can only be regarded as the second in Europe at present, and the situation in La Liga is even better than that of the Bundesliga.

At present, all four La Liga teams have qualified for the group one round ahead of schedule. Barcelona and Malaga have directly secured the first place in the group. Valencia also has a chance to compete with Bayern in the final round. Only Real Madrid is locked in the second qualifying group. The worst performance among the four teams in La Liga.

And this round of the Champions League, the focus of the match that attracted the most attention is naturally the defending champion Chelsea's away game against Juventus, which is a game that is very likely to eliminate a giant.

In the end, Juventus completely defeated the Blues 3:0 at home, and now Chelsea's qualifying situation in the Champions League has become very dangerous.

Chelsea still wants to qualify. It is not enough to win the last round of the game by themselves. They must also hope that the Ukrainian team Shakhtar Donetsk who has already qualified ahead of schedule can beat Juventus at home, so that Chelsea can qualify.

On the contrary, as long as Juventus scores a point away from Ukraine, Chelsea will be out immediately.

On the whole, the defending champion who was eliminated in the first group stage in the history of the Champions League may not be far away.

After losing the away game, Ferguson Di Matteo, who led Chelsea to win the Champions League and the FA Cup double last season, was "broken at the Blue Bridge" on the spot and was fired.

There is a famous dish in London called Chelsea fried coach, which is not for nothing.

Currently in the Schalke 04 team, Jackie Chan and Huntelaar both scored 5 goals.

And 5 goals, this has tied Schalke 04's team history record, the record for the most goals scored in a single season in the Champions League.

Before the restructuring of the Champions League, Schalke 04 only participated in the Champions League once.

After the restructuring of the UEFA Champions League, Schalke 04 participated in the UEFA Champions League more times, but they also lacked competitiveness in the UEFA Champions League for a long time.

In the 2010/11 UEFA Champions League, Raul led Schalke 04 to the Champions League semi-finals with 5 goals, which was Schalke 04's single-season Champions League scoring record.

Now both Jackie Chan and Huntelaar have tied this record, and they still have a chance to break the record.

Jackie Chan and Huntelaar scored 5 goals together, which is also the most scored in the Champions League among Bundesliga players this season.

At present, Lewandowski has scored the most goals in Dortmund, and he has scored 4 goals.

Bayern played very well. The player who scored the most goals was the veteran Pizarro who only completed one hat-trick. Three goals is the most.

In the current Champions League top scorer list, Jackie Chan and Huntelaar's 5 goals are also very many, ranking directly at the top of the list.

In the current UEFA Champions League scorer list after 5 rounds of group matches, 5 goals are the most, but there are several players tied.

After the Champions League, it will soon be the weekend league.

On November 24th, in the 13th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 played against Eintracht Frankfurt at home.

Eintracht Frankfurt can be regarded as a strong team in the Bundesliga. They are the first team in German history to reach the final of the Champions League and have also won the Europa League.

Moreover, Frankfurt is still a team that prefers Asian players. In the history of the team, there have been Asian players such as Cha Bum-gen, Takahara Naoyasu, and Yang Chen. Even now, there are Japanese players in their team.

However, after entering the 21st century, Frankfurt's performance is quite struggling, often in the middle and lower reaches, and has been relegated three times.

But after being promoted to the Bundesliga this season as a newly promoted team, Eintracht Frankfurt's performance was quite amazing. They once overwhelmed Bayern and climbed to the top of the standings. This is something that Schalke 04 has never done.

Even if the current state of Frankfurt begins to decline, it is still the third-ranked team in the Bundesliga, and it is by no means easy to deal with.

In the 11th minute of the opening at the Schalke Stadium, Draxler picked the ball into the penalty area before Lee Chenglong broke through from the wing and returned to the penalty area, assisting Huntelaar with a header to let Schalke 04 took the lead.

But then Schalke 04 couldn't find a chance to expand the score, but Frankfurt's counterattack played well, threatening Schalke's goal from time to time.

The game time reached more than 60 minutes in the second half, and the score was still 1:0. At this time, Hub Stevens began to direct the team to retract the defense line, intending to score three points with a score of 1:0.

The team has encountered problems one after another recently, and the morale of the whole team is indeed not high, as long as they can score three points.

But in the 83rd minute, the opponent's midfielder Aigner scored with a long shot, which ruined Stevens' plan.

In this way, Schalke 04 drew 1:1 with Frankfurt at home, a result that was not satisfactory for both sides, because both sides lost two points.

In the other matches of this round, Bayern beat Hannover 96 5-0 at home, once again widening the point gap with Schalke 04.

And both Dortmund and Leverkusen also won, regaining some point difference again.

At present, Bayern ranks first with 11 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss with 34 points, and Schalke 04 ranks second with 9 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss with 28 points.

Dortmund are next on 25 points, while Leverkusen and Eintracht Frankfurt both have 24 points.

Now Schalke 04 is 6 points behind Bayern, and there is still a gap of more than a dozen goal difference, and they can't catch up in the two games.

"Schalke 04 has fallen behind, and it will be difficult for them to catch up with Bayern." That night, all major German TV stations were saying such words.

"But this is also normal. They lost Raul in the summer. Even if Bruce Lee, who was introduced at a high price, performed well and filled Raul's vacancy very well, it is still difficult to compete with Bayern."

"It is already a surprise that they can bite Bayern in the standings for half a season."
