The best result since the Champions League reform in 2003-2004, while the Premier League and Serie A are still at the bottom. As for other leagues, it is difficult to get rid of the role of "reading with the prince".

1. The trend of the times: annexation of the EU, * * antidote?
The Champions League was founded more than 50 years ago, and it was transformed into the Champions League for 20 years, and the second time it was restructured to the first 10 year. However, it must be said that the Champions League is still "the home of traditional giants". Teams that are not in the four major leagues occasionally score points
Piece of cake, but the last team to win the San Ballard Cup was Porto in 2004. The "universal ideal" of UEFA President Platini has become a fantasy, although more and more non-mainstream league teams have won the Champions League.
Qualifications, but can be among the top 16, and still account for the vast majority of the elite. It can be said that the Champions League knockout is still the five major leagues (to be exact, the four major leagues) * *, and the champion is in the bag.
The top 16 teams in the Champions League this season, the four major league teams occupy 1 1 seats, although it is not the highest in history (12 seats), but it has also reached a monopoly level. If it is not the defending champion Chelsea (Weibo data)
It's not difficult to draw in the group stage of unexpected defeat. In fact, last season, the dominance of the four major leagues was slightly loose. 16 was just over half of the first nine seats, but it quickly consolidated after 1, and no other leagues gave it.
Seize any opportunity. Although there are many leagues in the latter group, their strength is still not up to the traditional TOP4.
The continuation of the four major alliances violates the "universal principle" that President Pu has been emphasizing since he took office. The French recently revealed that they want to merge the Europa League and the Champions League to form a new "Gao Daquan" Champions League in an attempt to use more.
Joining the team will objectively weaken the strength of the four major league teams. Can the annexation of the Europa League really be the antidote to the Champions League in the top four? I'm afraid it's difficult, but Platini's efforts for this will never decrease. This season,
The Big Four will only give him more reasons and excuses.

2. Premier League: The bottom is hovering and the status is shaken.
Chelsea failed to work miracles, but the initiative was not in their hands. The elimination of the defending champions in the Champions League is a shame for the Blue Army and even the whole Premier League. Of course, Manchester City, the Premier League champion last season, has won two games in a row.
The failure to break through in the group stage of the season also made the Blue Moon and the Premier League smile. It must be said that the omnipotent "Europe's No.1 golden league" and "Champions League's No.1 Legion" have increasingly become the laughing stock of the media in continental Europe.
Last season, Manchester duo were eliminated in the group stage, and only Chelsea and Arsenal entered the knockout stage in the Premier League, setting the lowest point since the Champions League was changed to the current competition system. Even if the blue army finally wins the championship, it is also
Think that luck is greater than strength, not the overall strength of the Premier League. This season, Chelsea and Manchester City were eliminated by the group, and Manchester United and Arsenal advanced, but the result still can't change the continuous low point of the Premier League.
A lingering dilemma.
In fact, since the Champions League reform, the Premier League has always occupied an absolutely strong position. In the previous nine seasons, all four teams advanced to the top 16, which is unmatched by the other four major leagues. However, the situation has gone from bad to worse in the last two seasons.
Now, Liverpool are in trouble and bid farewell to the Champions League. Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea are all upgrading, and their strength is not at a high level. However, Manchester City has been listed as "dead" for two consecutive years because of excessive debts and insufficient integral coefficient.
Group stage ",which led to the Premier League in the past seems to be no group stage is difficult. He who does not advance loses ground. The position of the Premier League "the first army in the Champions League" has been greatly shaken by the threat of La Liga. The red devils and gunmen need to be discovered.
Knockout is the name of the Premier League.

3. La Liga: The dark horse leads, and the two are side by side.
The Big Bang in La Liga is suitable for the performance of La Liga teams in this season's Champions League group stage. All four teams from Spain reached the top of the summit 16, becoming the first force in the knockout stage of the Champions League and getting rid of the world completely.
Only the "Xichao" duo was shortlisted for the knockout stage this season. You know, in the first nine seasons since the Champions League reform, only two teams in La Liga reached the top of 16, namely the 2003-2004 season and
In the 2008-2009 season, the dark horse was in power in both seasons, which became a bright spot outside doubles.
In the 2003-2004 season, Barcelona failed to participate, and Real Madrid led La Coruna, Certa and Real Sociedad out. As a result, all teams qualified, and "Lacoso" shocked the world in the knockout stage and reached the fourth place in one fell swoop.
Strong. Five years later, Atletico Madrid and Villarreal advanced with this pair of partners. Malaga, who is in financial trouble this season, reached the top for the first time on behalf of La Liga 16. I have to say that it is a miracle and it has become Europe this season.
The biggest dark horse in the championship. In addition, Valencia, who just changed coaches, is mainly based on actual combat and has the strength to create surprises.
Hui Qi, the dark horse of the giants, can La Liga welcome the Champions League? In fact, it depends on the performance of Barcelona and Real Madrid. Both of them lost in the group match, and the elimination match was not easy. Barcelona has a new coach, and the defensive problems are outstanding.
Obvious; Real Madrid, mired in civil strife and tied by the League, is hardly at its best. However, if La Liga wants to turn the group advantage into victory, the duo must set an example, and the adjustment in the next few months is very important.

4. Serie A: It's hard to win glory when encountering a trough.
In 2003, the Champions League was changed to the current competition system. The defending champion of the first season was AC Milan, and Juventus entered the final of last season. Serie A, the semi-final, is the best for the "Little World Cup" Champions League.
After the glory, although Milan and Inter Milan each won one game, their overall strength was far from the peak. There are only two teams from Italy in the Champions League 16 this season: Juventus and AC Milan, and they are scouring.
The prospect of elimination is not optimistic.
The last time there were only two teams in Serie A 16 was in the 2003-2004 season. At that time, Milan and Juventus represented Serie A in the knockout stage. After a lapse of nine years, it once again hit a low point, highlighting Serie A's position in the Champions League.
Falling. You know there were still three seats in Serie A last season, and Naples was killed from the "group of death". However, this season, we finally really tasted the bitter fruit that UEFA's ranking of points coefficient was surpassed by the Bundesliga. Inter Milan last season
Poor ranking, can only play the Europa League. Now only Juventus and Milan are fighting for Serie A honor.
As you know, the performance of Serie A doubles in the Champions League group match this season is not satisfactory. Milan state ups and downs, the final round lost to Dzenit; Juventus' return to the Champions League suffered a series of draws and gained an embarrassing record. only
The Bianconeri's 3-0 victory over Chelsea was impressive, but the latter was at a low ebb. In the end, Milan qualified ahead of schedule, and Juve almost went out in the last round, finally saving the face of Serie A, otherwise it would only be 1.
If the team is promoted, it will lose the face of the "Little World Cup" in the past. However, the odds of the knockout giants are not small, and Serie A continues its life, and the prospects are worrying.

5. Bundesliga: tie history, Dortmund rises.
Nine years before the Champions League reform, only 1 of the Bundesliga teams advanced to 16, and that was in the 2004-2005 season, when Bayern teamed up with Leverkusen and Bremen. Eight years have passed and great changes have taken place in the Bundesliga, especially now.
Because young Bayern, Dortmund and Schalke represent the strongest teams in the Bundesliga, especially the first two have attracted much attention. Bayern want to avenge their defeat in the final last season, and Dortmund is a new force in this season's championship competition group.
Bayern's group match went smoothly, and the offensive strength made the whole of Europe tremble. However, the Bundesliga Big Mac was unlucky in the Champions League. 20 10 reached the finals twice this year, but lost to tactics respectively.
Inter Milan and Chelsea, they play more conservatively. Now Bayern is making a comeback, with a younger and more energetic lineup. It is still the strongest team in the Bundesliga's top 3 impact on the Champions League. Also optimistic about the industry are Dortmund and Manchester United.
Coach Ferguson even thinks it is a favorite to win the championship with Barcelona and Real Madrid. Being able to fight the "death group" proves Dortmund's strength, but the team lacks experience in the knockout stage after all. In addition, Schalke beat Arsenal to win small.
The first group is also beyond most people's expectation.
The ranking of Bundesliga UEFA points surpassed Serie A, which has proved the improvement of its overall strength and league quality. Now three teams have reached the top 16, and the Bundesliga is ambitious, hoping to regain its former glory from Yingxi. The last time the Bundesliga team won the Champions League was 200 1 Bayern, which has been more than 10 years. With the rise of the league and the increase of strong teams, the "restoration" of the Bundesliga may not be far away.

6. Ligue 1: Paris stands out, and the overall downturn.
Compared with the four major leagues in Europe, Ligue 1 has declined. Since the Champions League was changed from 1992 to the Champions League, the French team won only once, which was the first year of the Champions League (1992- 1993 season).
Sai. Then in the 2003-2004 season, Monaco was very close to winning the championship, but it was a pity that it lost to Porto in the final. Among the top French teams, Lyon is a frequent visitor to the Champions League knockout, and has never missed nine seasons since its reorganization in 2003.
Seats, but this season didn't even catch the qualification. As a result, the representative of Ligue 1 became "Great Paris".
The capital injection of Qatar consortium has made Paris the most watched team in European football. Although the league performance is not good, Saint-Germain has successfully reached the top of the Champions League 16, which is considered by some media to be the reality of winning the championship.
Force. In terms of the quality of the lineup and the taste of the stars, Paris has not lost to any European giants, but it is still a huge question whether the overall strength of the stars can stand the test of the knockout. However, "Paris" has become the only hope of Ligue 1.
I hope, because Montpellier, the defending champion of Ligue 1, has been eliminated from the miserable group, and only 1 the team has advanced to 16, which is the lowest point in Ligue 1 in five years. Montpellier's elimination completely exposed the overall downturn of Ligue 1, and the side also showed Mo.
Nagao was relegated to French B, and Bordeaux only ranked fifth last season. It must be said that the overall strength of Ligue 1 has been difficult to compete with the four major leagues.
7. Others: Myth turns into remembrance, accompanying the prince to study.
Among the top teams in the Champions League 16 this season, there are four teams outside the five major leagues in Europe, but only Porto and Miners have certain strength, and the other two teams (Celtic and Galatasaray) draw lots for elimination.
The object of common pursuit. Interestingly, Porto is also the latest Champions League champion from outside the five major leagues, but now the "Porto myth" in 2004 has long been a memory, not to mention the Red Star in Belgrade.
(199 1 champion) and Bucharest star (1986 champion) are both "ancient" legends.
Although Platini's "universal principle" has given more European small and medium-sized league teams the opportunity to participate in the Champions League, it is still difficult for small countries and widows to get rid of the role of accompanying the prince to study, and they have also been charged with "influencing the Champions League group stage"
Chroma "hat. In fact, their participation has not reduced the intensity of the Champions League, and it can break out from time to time, such as Celtic beating Barcelona. However, if you want to take a step closer in the knockout stage, it will be more difficult than going to heaven.
Last season, in the Champions League 16, the number of non-five major league teams reached an unprecedented five. As a result, only two teams entered the quarterfinals (Apollo and Benfica), and Benfica eliminated Dzenit and advanced. It can be seen that it is not the "Big Five" team
It is difficult to become a climate, and the dominant position of the "Big Five" cannot be shaken at all. Participate in the Champions League group stage, strive to reach the knockout stage, play more 1 game, increase ticket income and broadcast bonus. This is the inner monologue of diaosi.
