The Strongest Demon Front

Last season, Wolfsburg ranked second in the Bundesliga, and the team performed very well.

The reason why their performance has declined significantly this season is actually a lot to do with the transfer last summer.

In the last summer transfer window, Wolfsburg successively sold two main players, De Bruyne and Perisic. Among them, De Bruyne moved to Manchester City in the Premier League with a transfer record of nearly 70 million euros for a player in the Bundesliga, while Perisic moved to Inter Milan for 17 million euros. .

Although they also spent close to 40 million euros to buy the promising Draxler from Schalke 04, this transfer did not significantly improve Wolfsburg's strength.

Draxler is a very good young man, but he is only 21 years old after all, and he has just joined a new team. It is undoubtedly a bit difficult to use him to replace De Bruyne who left the team.

With the main core leaving the team and newcomers unable to support the team, it is only natural that Wolfsburg's performance in the league has declined.

However, their performance in the Champions League this season is indeed very good.

In the group stage, Wolfsburg is in Group B with Eindhoven, Manchester United and CSKA Moscow.

It should be said that the average strength of this group is still very strong, and the most promising team is undoubtedly the Premier League Red Devils Manchester United.

As a result, Wolfsburg unexpectedly became the top of the group and qualified together with the Eredivisie giants Eindhoven, while Manchester United only ranked third and was eliminated in the group stage. Subsequently, Wolfsburg eliminated Gent of Belgium and advanced to the quarter-finals of the Champions League.

Many people believe that the encounter with Real Madrid in the quarter-finals means that Wolfsburg's Champions League this season is over.

But when Schalke 04 met Inter Milan, which eliminated Bayern, people thought so too.

Everyone knows that Bayern Munich is a strong team in the Champions League, the top team in the Champions League, but other Bundesliga teams are sometimes not so easy to deal with.

...

After the UEFA Champions League group draw, the media and fans discussed again.

Among the four games, the most eye-catching ones are undoubtedly Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City, as well as these two games between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

Both Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City are European upstarts that have risen in recent years.

And the "gold masters" behind these two teams are all men's clothing tycoons from the Middle East.

The backstage of Paris Saint-Germain is the Qatar Sovereign Wealth Fund (Qatar Investment Authority). Its boss, Tamim Alsani, is not only the Crown Prince of Qatar, but also the chairman of the Qatar National Olympic Committee and a member of the International Olympic Committee. number one.

The Qatar Sports Investment Fund under the control of Tamim Al Thani is a sovereign investment fund owned by the state of Qatar. The assets of this foundation are conservatively estimated at more than 60 billion US dollars.

The backstage of Manchester City is the Arab investment company Abu Dhabi Group. Its background is Prince Mansur of the United Arab Emirates, he is the heir of the country's founding chief. And his family's assets are as high as US$1 trillion, equivalent to 555 billion pounds.

The collision of these two teams can be described as the strongest upstart battle under global capital.

Needless to say about Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, Barcelona was once known as the "Cosmic Team", a top team standing at the top of the Europa football chain.

Atletico Madrid has just reached the Champions League final two years ago. Whether it is the Champions League final or the Europa League final, for this team nicknamed "Bed Sheets", it is as familiar as going home. Everyone on the team is talented.

The two Spanish powerhouses met early in the quarter-finals, and the "Spanish derby" (pseudo) between them was naturally quite eye-catching.

Compared with these two strong dialogues, Real Madrid's match against Wolfsburg, and Bayern Munich's encounter with Benfica all have a clear sense of strength and weakness.

Whether it is fame or team strength, the first two teams are above the last two teams.

Therefore, many media and fans believe that both Real Madrid and Bayern Munich have drawn the "top lottery". Many people even describe Wolfsburg and Benfica as the two Champions League gift packages of Huang and Ren, which are the gift packages that guarantee the two teams to enter the Champions League semi-finals.

However, if these two "gift packages" explode suddenly and turn into two explosive packages, the fun will be great...

...
