2:2。

"Manchester United are back top of the group! With just ten minutes left, United must not afford to make another mistake. ”

"Hold on to the draw!" Lineker roared, and finally wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

Although I am not a Manchester United fan, Manchester United is an English team, and I always want Manchester United to successfully finish first in the group.

"There are ten minutes left, and if the score continues until the end, Manchester United will be top of the group!"

'Ferguson's substitutions were quite successful, and with Paul Scholes and Ryan Giggs coming up, United's attack has not only improved, but also settled a lot in central midfield. The goal came naturally. ”

'He's supposed to be very happy now, the young players and the senior players are coming up, he can have more options in terms of personnel, anyway, it's a lot better than last year.'

"However, this Sylvester, after all, you still have to think about it......"

At the moment, Benfica's Stadium of Light is not bright at all, and if this score ends, it means that they can only play in the League Cup......

Zeman was furious on the sidelines, unhappy with the goal he had just conceded. He was already a very hot-tempered manager, and he didn't see the team's lead just now, but now that it's flat, of course he can't tolerate this goal.

However, anger does not solve the problem, and it is still up to the players on the pitch to work hard to score goals......

In the next ten minutes, Benfica unleashed a frenzied attacking storm.

First of all, Nuno Gomez split the ball from the middle of the right side of the box, and the newly introduced Perea did not choose to return to Nuno Gomez, who was in a better position, but went straight to the goal, and his low shot from 14 yards on the right side of the box hit the near corner side netting. It was still Sylvester who was keeping an eye on Perea......

In the 82nd minute, Benfica made a long pass from the backfield, and Giovanni burst into the right side of the penalty area with the ball and shot at a small angle from 15 yards was saved by Van der Sar, which was superior to Silvestre's back!

"Sylvester!"

"Sylvester!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Rooney and Dong Fangzhuo also chose to recycle. Both sides worked hard, with Benfica striker Giovanni also rushing back to the midfield to hit the ball.

Cristiano Ronaldo hit a strange knee in midfield, and Giovanni fell on the turf.

The Stadium of Light erupted in deafening boos again, and the cunning Ronaldo actually injured Giovanni! Had to go down.

Cristiano Ronaldo managed to get revenge......

And without getting a license, the deal was really profitable.

In the 85th minute, Mantoras replaced the injured Giovanni.

At the last moments, Benfica continued to attack frantically, but Manchester United retreated all the way, locking up two wings, and Benfica's crosses from both wings could not be directly threatened with the ball.

In the end, Manchester United drew 2-2 with Benfica away from home, won the first place in the group as they wished, and advanced to the knockout round!

Dong Fangzhuo vaguely remembers that this season, Manchester United should be at the bottom of the group, missing the round of 16 for the first time in 10 years.

The changes this season are just too big and far beyond his expectations.

So after the game he was happier than ever.

It doesn't matter what team you face next, at least you can enjoy the joy of topping the group for the time being......

"Hey, Cristiano, don't let me see you coming to Lisbon!"

"See you once, hit once!"

On the sidelines, the fans at the Stadium of Light were still yelling at Ronaldo, and they seemed to vent the pain of the team's elimination on Ronaldo.

"Man, aren't you afraid?"

"Haha, get used to ......"

"Every time they shout like this, but every time they only cry."

Cristiano Ronaldo is also very happy.

Everyone seems to have forgotten the sadness of Best's departure......

"I wonder who the opponent will be?" Cristiano Ronaldo suddenly thought of the knockout round.

"It doesn't matter who it is, if our ultimate goal remains the same." Dong Fangzhuo also became serious.

The Champions Cup was so close to him that he didn't think about it from time to time.

In fact, neither United nor Ferguson have mentioned winning the Champions League this season, because that would be too unrealistic. Manchester United seem to have that kind of quality.

The goal this season is to reach the last 16 of the Champions League and then try to reach the last eight, after which the last eight is the goal for Manchester United, and then the goal is not so clear......

It can only be said that you can go as far as you can......

The team flew back to Manchester overnight, but Ferguson did not travel with the team because he was flying to Nyon, Switzerland.

At 12 o'clock local time in Switzerland, the draw for the 1/8 finals of the Champions Cup was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.

The draw was presided over by UEFA CEO Olsson, and the venue began with two short films, a clip from the final of the first Champions Cup 50 years ago and a brief review of the group stage of this year. After that, the director of the UEFA club competition department announced the rules of the draw. The Champions Cup ended its group stage last week with the eight teams topping the group are:

Juventus, Arsenal, Barcelona, Manchester United, AC Milan, Lyon, Liverpool, Inter Milan. The eight teams that finished second in the group were: Bayern Munich, Ajax, Bremen, Villarreal, PSV Eindhoven, Real Madrid, Chelsea and Rangers.

"God, I finally avoided those perverts." Ferguson sat back in his chair and let out a long breath. It's not Juventus, it's not Milan, it's not Barcelona, it's not Arsenal and Liverpool.

Chelsea are not in the picture.

"As long as it's not the damn Real Madrid and Chelsea, and Bayern Munich ......"

Ferguson whispered to the end, and it turned out that, in fact, there was no difference between the first and second in the group.

After all, there are Bayern, Real Madrid and other teams in the second group. Of course, neither Bayern nor Real Madrid have been very strong in recent years......

16. The draw of the line teams follows the following principles: teams belonging to the same Football Association cannot meet (except Liverpool); The teams in the same group in the group stage cannot meet again; Teams with the same ranking in the group stage cannot meet; The second-placed team in the group stage plays home first.

The first red ball drawn was Chelsea, and the green ball was Barcelona after that!

There was a low exclamation from the venue.

Ha ha! Ferguson laughed in his heart, this lottery is too good...... He made no secret of the schadenfreude in his heart.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho and Barcelona boss Rijkaard also saw their eyes come together in an instant......

The two strongest teams actually met in the quarterfinals in advance.

This was followed by Real Madrid VS Arsenal

Bremen VS Juventus

Bayern VS AC Milan

PSV Eindhoven VS Lyon

Ajax VS Inter Milan

Villarreal vs Liverpool

Manchester United don't even have to smoke!

Fate! For the first time, the old man's face blossomed with joy, and he was drawn to his hometown team......

Manchester United vs Celtic.

This signing luck really couldn't be better......

The first in the group is the first in the group after all!

The first leg of the Champions League will be held on 21/22 February and the second leg on 7/8 March next year. The final will be held in Paris on May 17.

Is there any hope for this year, Paris?

Because the opponent is Celtic, Ferguson has a glimmer of hope in his heart......
