In the second round of the Champions League round of sixteen this week, four games were played first. Except for Schalke's 1:1 draw with Manchester City at home and a 3:1 elimination in the two rounds, Bayern also 1 at home in the other three games: 1 draw with Arsenal, with a total score of 3:1 to eliminate the Gunners.

And Paris Saint-Germain defeated Leverkusen 2:1 at home, with a total score of 6:1.

Atletico Madrid beat AC Milan 4:1 at home, and eliminated the opponent 5:1 in two rounds.

In the four groups of matches, the teams that gained the advantage in the first round advanced, and there were no surprises.

It is worth mentioning that in Bayern's 1:1 home draw with Arsenal, they missed another penalty, this time by Thomas Muller.

The guys at Bayern seem to like taking penalty kicks in the Champions League. Those who have the ability to take penalty kicks in the team count as one. Basically, all of them have missed penalties in the Champions League. I don’t know what’s wrong. .

When playing in the Bundesliga, I saw them all domineering. Just a few days ago, Robben beat Schalke with a penalty kick.

But as soon as they went to play in the Champions League, they turned into a penalty kick. This time, they directly missed two penalties against Arsenal in two rounds. Fortunately, the Gunners are not strong enough. Opponent, it's already TM cold for you to waste the opportunity like this.

At this moment, Li Chenglong suddenly felt that his trick that the penalty kick must be scored seemed to be quite effective.

In short, the eight matchups of the Champions League round of sixteen ended four games first, and the four teams of Schalke, Bayern, Atletico Madrid and Paris entered the quarterfinals of the Champions League first.

Now wait for the other four duels next week to determine the outcome, and then draw for the Champions League quarter-finals.

On March 15th, in the 25th round of the Bundesliga, Schalke went away to challenge Augsburg.

Recently, Schalke won a big victory in the league and successfully advanced to the Champions League. It was a time when morale was high, and they basically encountered no difficulties in the away game.

Jackie Lee opened the scoring, Huntelaar scored twice, Schalke won Augsburg 3:1 away, quickly regained their form after losing to Bayern, and completed the Bundesliga two consecutive victories.

In the other games of this round of Bundesliga, Bayern did not take much effort at home to win Leverkusen 2:1, refreshing the Bundesliga winning streak to 17 games.

Looking at the score is only a very thrilling 2:1, but Bayern really did not spend much effort.

They had an overall advantage at the Allianz Arena, leading 2-0 early, while Leverkusen, who was behind by two goals, played leisurely, as if they were the one with the two-goal lead. Stealing a goal in stoppage time made the score look a lot better.

Bayern's 17-game winning streak not only broke the Bundesliga record, but also tied the longest winning streak in the five major leagues.

During the season, Inter Milan once created 17 consecutive victories in Serie A, the longest winning streak in the five major leagues.

Now Bayern has tied the record, and there is still a great chance to create a new record, because Bayern's opponents are not strong.

Seeing that Bayern is about to create a new winning streak in the five major leagues, there will naturally be more media touting Bayern as the universal benefactor, and it is true that even the attention of the Bundesliga has increased a lot.

In terms of favorites to win the Champions League, Bayern also continues to occupy the first place and is a well-deserved number one favorite.

Now, Bayern has shouted the slogan of defending the Champions League and hitting the Triple Crown.

In addition to Bayern defeating Leverkusen, in other Bundesliga games, Dortmund lost 1:2 at home to Borussia, and Wolfsburg was tied away by newly promoted Brunswick.

The top four in the Bundesliga standings have not changed, but the gap between Bayern and Schalke and the teams behind them has widened.

At present, there are only 9 rounds left in the Bundesliga. Schalke is already 20 points ahead of the fifth-placed Wolfsburg. The qualification for the Champions League is almost locked.

Because even if Schalke is really bloody all the way to the end, it is impossible for the competing teams behind them to win all. They will always have to fight each other and grab points from each other.

Moreover, it is absolutely impossible for Schalke to have such a bloodbath. In fact, Schalke is currently 14 points ahead of Dortmund in third place, and the second place position is quite stable.

Li Chenglong scored a goal in this round of the league, and his league goals came to 20.

Among the players behind him, Lewandowski did not score, while Mandzukic scored one.

So Mandzukic's goals came to 16, while Lewandowski still scored 15.

In the middle of the week after the 25th round of the Bundesliga, the other four games in the second round of the Champions League round of sixteen started.

Barcelona defeated Zenit St. Petersburg 2:1 at home and eliminated the opponent with a total score of 5:2.

Chelsea beat Galatasaray 2:0 at home and advanced 3:1 in two rounds.

Real Madrid returned home and played a big score of 3:3 with the Hornets, but also eliminated Dortmund with a total score of 7:5.

There is also the most watched "focus battle", Manchester United's home game against Olympiacos.

This group of matches was originally considered to be without suspense, but Manchester United's "excellent" performance in the first round abruptly became the focus of the battle.

Fortunately, the stage has been set, and Manchester United has not lost the chain.

With Van Persie's hat-trick, Manchester United won Olympiacos 3:0 at home, and the total score of the two rounds was reversed and advanced 3:2.

Moyes is also hard-fated. If it weren't for Van Persie wearing a cap and savior, he would probably end up being fired immediately after the game.

But now Van Persie saved him once, but was injured at the last moment of the game. It seems that the injury is not serious. I don't know how long Moyes can last.

The Champions League round of 16 matches are all over, and this season's Champions League quarterfinals are all out.

There are three teams in La Liga, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, and Barcelona. The Bundesliga and the Premier League are two teams, namely Bayern, Schalke, Chelsea, and Manchester United. The last team left is Ligue 1 Paris.

No team in Serie A has reached the quarter-finals of the Champions League. This is the second time after the season.

In fact, the Serie A team was very miserable in this year's Champions League. There were only three teams participating. Juventus was upset and eliminated by Galatasaray in the group stage. Naples scored 12 points in a superb death group and was eliminated. The only one AC Milan, which reached the knockout round, was also eliminated in the round of sixteen.

The top sixteen of the UEFA Champions League is over. In the second round, the top scorers, Ronaldo and Diego Costa scored twice, Jackie Lee and Messi scored one goal, and Ibrahimovic did not ball.

So in the latest Champions League scorer list, Ronaldo continues to lead with 13 goals, followed by Ibrahimovic with 10 goals, Messi with 8 goals, Lee Jackie and Diego Costa with 7 goals.

Ronaldo's lead is quite large, especially when Ibrahimovic has always been soft in the knockout rounds, the one who really has a chance to compete with him for the Champions League Golden Boot is probably Messi, who has currently scored 8 goals.

At least that's how the media from all over the world see it.

After all the top sixteen games are over, the draw for the top eight will soon follow.

On March 21st, the draw for the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League was held in Nyon, Switzerland.

In the various fan interviews and player interviews before the draw, the teams were surprisingly unanimous, hoping to draw Manchester United.

Today's Manchester United has become a big gift bag in the Champions League, and everyone hopes to win the soft persimmon.

Of course, Schalke also hopes to draw Manchester United. Not only is Manchester United easy to deal with, but it can also take revenge by the way.

In 2011, Schalke reached the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time in history, and was eliminated by Manchester United. Now that the opponent has fallen, Schalke of course wants to step up.

However, under the background that everyone misses Manchester United very much, there are people who are playing independent specialties, and that is Ibrahimovic.

This guy is too stingy, he is still biting Schalke, claiming in front of the media that he wants to draw Schalke.

The other party repeatedly provoked, and Li Chenglong also responded in front of the media: "I hope he can do what he wants."

"Actually, for Schalke, Manchester United and Paris are ideal opponents, which can give Schalke a greater chance to advance to the next round."

Li Chenglong agrees with the general statement of the media that among the top eight teams in the Champions League, Manchester United is the weakest.

But the media believe that Paris is the fourth strongest team after Huang Saren, which is what Li Chenglong does not approve of.

Li Chenglong feels that Paris should be the second weakest team in the quarterfinals after Manchester United.
