The subsequent process was calm, and Napoli met Chelsea; Napoli's strength can only be said to be relatively outstanding, but among the teams in the second place in the group, Napoli's strength is definitely in the upper reaches. They are still lucky, at least Chelsea did not meet AC Milan.

However, the Premier League and Serie A team will soon start a positive competition. Arsenal faces the strongest group second AC Milan, and the situation of "Serie A restraining the Premier League" happens again; using Serie A to suppress the Premier League, UEFA's idea seems to be becoming clearer and clearer...

When Arsenal's knockout opponent was drawn, Xiao Qing even laughed; as the defending champion, Xiao Qing also knew that their Champions League matches this season would definitely not be easy, but Xiao Qing and the others never expected that from the beginning of the Champions League, Arsenal had always been in the worst environment that could be seen, and their opponents were always the strongest opponent in that stage.

Xiao Qing knew that it was not an easy thing for the team to defend the title successfully, and he also knew that Arsenal had become the target of public criticism; wood was revealed by Lin Feng, and Arsenal's outstanding record in the past two seasons really made other teams feel desperate, and UEFA obviously doesn't like to see Arsenal maintaining a strong dominance over the Champions League. So if Arsenal wants to win three consecutive championships, they need to face more difficulties. Arsenal is indeed the case now. They always meet the strongest opponents.

Although Arsenal won first place in the Champions League group stage, he still failed to draw one of the draws in the quarterfinals. AC Milan, the second in the group, is the strongest in the second place. The 2006-07 season was the only Champions League in which Arsenal has not met a giant opponent in recent years. The opponent is Eindhoven. Looking at the Champions League knockout stage in the past seven seasons, Arsenal has played against almost all the giants. They always meet the strongest opponents in the knockout stage. Even if they are not giants, their opponents are also Roma, Porto, Villarill and Eindhoven. No opponent is easy to pass.

This season, Milan is drawn again, and the Gunners still cannot escape the bad luck of drawing lots. For several consecutive years, Arsenal's draw luck was very bad. Meeting in the quarterfinals, the two teams reenacted the 2007-08 season.

Among the non-seeded teams in the Champions League, AC Milan is undoubtedly the most powerful, and it is also the one who is most afraid of in the seed team. As a result, Arsenal was "fortunate" to encounter the Ross and Blacks in the quarterfinals. As soon as the draw result was announced, the media reached a consensus: draw! Whether for Arsenal or AC Milan, it is really not an easy thing for both teams to win and advance in this round of showdown.

In the 2007-08 Champions League quarter-finals, Arsenal once eliminated AC Milan. But now, the Ross and Blacks will never let history repeat itself. Arsenal's weak defense and too many young people will inevitably lead to some inexperience, which are the two fatal weaknesses of the Arsenal.

AC Milan is in the process of alternating between old and new. Ibrahimovic is the fulcrum of the frontcourt. Boateng is becoming more and more appreciated. Thiago Silva is also on the back line and is in a position to be in the defense. As the defending champion of Serie A, AC Milan's lineup has basically been rebuilt from the aging three years ago. In the knockout round, AC Milan, who has strong troops, experienced and stable performance, may need to make more efforts for Wenger's disciples.

Lyon VS Apoll; Naples) VS Chelsea; AC Milan VS Arsenal; Basel VS Bayern Munich; Leverkusen VS Barcelona; CSKA Moscow VS Real Madrid; Zenit VS Benfica; Marseille VS Inter Milan. The eight-group opponents were grouped together, so some people were happy and some were worried about such draws.

Although Arsenal players are very unhappy with the draw of such a lottery, their opponents have already decided to come out. What Arsenal has to do now is not to blame the world. Although drawing the strongest team among the second team in the group is a depressing thing, what Arsenal needs more is to explode strongly at this time. They need to beat AC Milan to further prove the team's strength. If Arsenal wants to complete three consecutive championships in the Champions League, they will definitely encounter many challenges in this process. What Arsenal needs to do is to defeat all opponents with better performance in the game.

Now we will meet AC Milan. Maybe in the next game, Arsenal may meet powerful people like Bayern, Barcelona and Chelsea. Arsenal cannot rely on hopes to meet weak opponents. If you want to win the championship, you need strength more. Arsenal has encountered a good opportunity to challenge now. They will continue to show enough strength in the Champions League. They will use their better performance in the Champions League to prove that some conspiracies are useless. Only strength is the most important thing and the most important reliance for the team to win the championship.

Arsenal has achieved extremely brilliant achievements in the past two seasons. Although they all know that teams that can win the Champions League need not only sufficient strength, but also need some luck. Arsenal players really don’t care about these, because they believe that the team is not only excellent in strength, but even if Arsenal has encountered many challenges and difficulties in the process of winning the championship, they can still win the final victory and championship!

Arsenal players are ready, but now they don’t care which team they meet. What the Gunners need more is to play every game steadily in the game; although it will be a difficult game to meet AC Milan, Arsenal now needs more to prepare for the strong dialogue with Manchester City that will begin in the league. Manchester City is not a simple opponent. Arsenal needs to gain some initiative in the league, and they need to lay some solid foundation before the Champions League knockout round arrives.
