All four teams in the Champions League semi-finals have come out, and the next step is the draw for the Champions League semi-finals.

This year is the first time in the UEFA Champions League to join the semi-final draw. At the same time, three Bundesliga teams have reached the semi-finals this year. The German media can be said to be very concerned.

Among the current top four teams in the Champions League, Bayern and Real Madrid are considered to be the two stronger teams, while Schalke and Dortmund are the two weaker teams.

In the ranking of favorites to win the Champions League semi-finals before the draw, Bayern occupies first, Real Madrid second, Schalke third and Dortmund fourth.

Schalke eliminated Barcelona in the quarter-finals, which allowed them to surpass Dortmund in terms of strength estimates and climb to third place.

After all, Dortmund eliminated Shakhtar Donetsk and Malaga in the quarter-finals and quarter-finals, both of which were considered weak teams. They haven't really fought a tough battle yet.

According to the general opinion of fans from various European countries, it is best to avoid Real Madrid and Bayern in the semi-finals. In this case, there will be a high probability of seeing Real Madrid play Bayern in the final, which is definitely an epic final match.

But Schalke and Dortmund don't think so. The duo in the Ruhr area hope to draw each other, because if they draw each other, both sides are more confident to reach the final.

So before the lottery began, the two heroes in the Ruhr area were all hating each other.

"Of course we want to draw Dortmund. We have double-killed each other in the Bundesliga this season. As long as we draw them, we will definitely reach the final with a record."

Tenis just taunted in front of the media, and the Hornet quickly responded.

"In fact, we also think so. We also want to move the Ruhr Derby to a big stage like the Champions League semi-finals. By then, the whole world will definitely see the excitement of the Ruhr Derby."

Anyway, no matter how you draw, there will definitely be a Bundesliga civil war next.

In the previous history of the Champions League, the Bundesliga civil war occurred only once, that is, the quarter-finals of the Champions League in the 97/98 season, when Dortmund eliminated Bayern 1:0 in two rounds.

And this year there will definitely be a second Bundesliga civil war, but it is not known what kind of duel Bundesliga civil war it is.

On April 12, the UEFA Champions League semi-final draw was held as scheduled in Nyon, Switzerland, the headquarters of UEFA.

Ruud van Nistelrooy was the guest of the draw, and Schalke 04 was the first to be drawn.

Although it is not yet known who the next opponent will be, Schalke will definitely play at home in the first round of the semi-final.

Immediately afterwards, Van Nistelrooy drew Schalke's least wanted opponent, Bayern Munich.

The result came out, the Champions League semi-finals, Schalke 04 will face Bayern Munich first, this is also the second Bundesliga civil war in the history of the Champions League.

On the other side, it is natural for Dortmund to play against Real Madrid, with the Hornets playing first and then away.

Before drawing lots, Li Chenglong actually thought about what kind of opponent would be the best in the semi-finals.

The best is of course the Hornets. Although Schalke and the Hornets are between five and five in terms of strength, Schalke has double-killed the Hornets in the league this season, and they will have a psychological advantage.

If the Hornets cannot be drawn, the second choice is Real Madrid.

In terms of strength on paper alone, Real Madrid will not be worse than Bayern, but Real Madrid's current generals are at odds, and Mourinho and Iker Casillas are at odds with each other. This is already well known in Europe.

And in the face of Real Madrid, Schalke may be able to play a surprise. After all, Real Madrid and Schalke have not really played against each other in recent years. Schalke suddenly burst out with energy, and Real Madrid may be caught off guard.

The worst result, of course, is to draw Nan Dawang.

Bayern is obviously stronger than Schalke in terms of strength, and both sides know each other well. It is difficult to play any tricks, so they can only grit their teeth and fight hard.

Without the appearance of Jackie Lee, Bayern this season would have won the European Triple Crown, so of course there is nothing to say about their strength.

The semi-final draw came out, and Schalke, who was originally the third favorite to win the championship, fell to fourth again.

With Bayern being drawn, everyone is generally even less optimistic about Schalke.

In the Bundesliga this season, Schalke faced Bayern in two rounds. They drew 2:2 at home and lost 0:4 away. They are indeed at a disadvantage.

On the other side, although everyone is generally optimistic about Real Madrid, Dortmund is still considered to have some chances, because Dortmund and Real Madrid came out of the same group this season. At that time, Dortmund was the main winner of Real Madrid. Ping, overwhelm the opponent to become the first in the group stage.

Although the results of the group stage and the results of the knockout stage cannot be directly equated, it is still possible to take them out for a little reference.

In the history of the UEFA Champions League, there have been more than one occasions where the opponent was double-killed by the opponent in the group stage, and then eliminated after entering the knockout stage. After meeting again in the final, Real Madrid eliminated Bayern with a home win and an away loss, and finally entered the final to win the championship.

In general, with the current draw results, everyone is optimistic that Real Madrid and Bayern will meet in the Champions League final and come to a European derby.

On April 23, in the 29th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 went away to challenge Werder Bremen.

Werder Bremen is currently in the 14th place in the Bundesliga, and they don't have a strong need to score points, and their midfielder De Bruyne also missed the game because of a sprained ankle.

So at the Weser Stadium, Li Chenglong broke into the penalty area in the first half and volleyed to help Schalke open the scoring.

In the second half, Draxler scored with a long-range shot to expand the score, and then Lee Chenglong made a cross from the side to assist Macari to score, directly sealing the victory.

With one pass and one shot by Li Chenglong, Schalke 04 won Werder Bremen 3:0 in the away game.

In the other games of this round, Bayern beat Frankfurt 1-0 in an away game. Since the start of the second half of the season, they have won 12 consecutive league victories, which is indeed very popular.

Dortmund also won Augsburg 4:2 at home, and Lewandowski scored a goal in the game.

However, Leverkusen drew 1:1 with Wolfsburg at home, and Kisling did not score a goal.

In the current standings, Bayern has 78 points, Schalke and Dortmund both have 58 points, and Leverkusen has 50 points.

As for Frankfurt, after losing points recently, they have dropped to sixth place in the standings. The current fifth place is the newly climbed Freiburg, and they temporarily accumulate 45 points.

Bayern's points came to 78 points, which is only 3 points away from the highest score of 81 points in the Bundesliga.

Now there are still 5 rounds in the Bundesliga. It is only a matter of time before Bayern breaks the record. It depends on when it is broken.

The record of 81 points was only created by Dortmund last season. It seems that it can only be kept for one season and it will be broken.

Now that there are 5 rounds left in the Bundesliga, Schalke 04 leads the fifth-placed Freiburg by 13 points. They only need to win another game, and the team will be able to lock in the top four qualifications for the Champions League.

In the latest Bundesliga scorer list, both Lee Jackie and Lewandowski have 22 goals, and Kisling has 19 goals.

With 5 rounds left in the Bundesliga, the advantage of three goals is nothing, and the battle for the Bundesliga Golden Boot will continue.
