After the game, the photo of Gao Zheng and Mr. Chen really appeared on major media and the Internet.

However, no one criticized Mr. Chen's approach, nor did Gao Zheng criticize him.

Both the Spanish and Chinese media think this is a normal thing.

If the two sides had such close contact before the game, they might be criticized. But the game is over, what else can you avoid suspicion?

This kind of topic is not even qualified to hype.

Next December 1st, the fourth round of the Copa del Rey started. Atletico Madrid, as a first-tier team, started the season's Copa del Rey directly from the fourth round. Their opponent is Reus, the Spanish Second Division team. In this game, Simeone did not let the main players of the first team play.

Atletico Madrid finally defeated Reus 2:1 away. Both sides will play the second leg on the 17th. Atletico Madrid returns to home to face the opponent.

Then in the 14th round of the La Liga on December 5, Atletico Madrid challenged Granada away. Although the next one was the last game of the Champions League group stage, Simeone did not use any rotation in this game.

Atletico Madrid, the main players, won the opponent 2:0 without any bloodshed away and continued to lead the league standings.

The gg combination of Gao Zheng and Griezmann jointly contributed two goals, and they each scored one in the game.

After their match with Granada, Barcelona challenged Valencia away, but Barcelona unexpectedly tied by Valencia 1:1.

Valencia equalized the score in the 86th minute, which can be said to tie Barcelona.

Barcelona's unexpected capsized ship gave Atletico Madrid a five-point lead.

Next, Atletico Madrid challenged Benfica away. In this game, many main players did not even go with the team, but Gao Zheng still went.

It was precisely because Gao Zheng went that with his goal in the 75th minute, he helped Atletico Madrid defeat Benfica 2:1 away and ended the group stage with an unbeaten record.

Although Benfica only scored eight points, he also won the second place in the group and qualified from this group.

Only Galatasaray, who was tied 1:1 by Astana at their home court, finally scored five points and qualified for the League Cup.

Astana was eliminated and ended his Champions League trip.

One day later, all the Champions League group stages ended, and all the teams that advanced to the knockout stage were released.

Although Real Madrid did not perform well in the league, they had a clear advantage in the Champions League, with five wins and one draw, and qualifying for the first place in the group with 16 points. They scored nineteen goals in these six group matches. The team's top scorer Cristiano Ronaldo even vented all his depression of not scoring many goals in the league to the Champions League.

He scored an astonishing 11 goals in the group stage!

This set a new record for the Champions League group stage goals.

The record before this was also set by Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored nine goals in the 2013 Champions League group stage. A year later, Brazilian striker Luis Adriano, who played for Donetsk Miners, also tied Ronaldo's record with nine goals, and the Brazilian also set another record - he scored five yuan alone in the team's 7-0 victory over Borisov, setting a record of five goals in a single game in the Champions League group stage, and was also the second player after Messi to score five goals in a single game in the Champions League.

After losing to Barcelona in the national derby, Cristiano Ronaldo was under tremendous pressure, and sometimes even booing him in home games.

Here I have to say that Real Madrid fans are really a very fascinating group. They can give applause to their arch-rivaled players at their home court, but they are very harsh on their players. If they perform a little badly, they will boo.

Even a player like Cristiano Ronaldo can be booed, who else can survive?

Think about how Dutch full-back Drente, the best player in the World Youth Championship, was booed to the point where he collapsed at home and retired early?

Real Madrid fans seem to be happy to blame their players, and if they fail to meet their expectations, they seem to be unworthy of wearing white jerseys.

Now Cristiano Ronaldo is far ahead in the Champions League scorer list with these 11 goals. Now many media and experts predict that he may break the single-season goal record he set in the 2013-2014 season.

He scored seventeen goals at the time, greatly improving the fourteen-goal single-season record held by Artafini and Messi by three goals.

Everyone thinks that this record is difficult to break again, but now it seems that only Ronaldo himself can break Ronaldo's record.

In Group A, Real Madrid topped the list with 16 points and qualified in the group first. Following closely behind was Paris Saint-Germain, who scored 13 points and second in the group.

The situation in Group B was a little unexpected. Manchester United failed to qualify from the group. They only got the third place in the group with eight points. The first place in the group was Wolfsburg with twelve points, and the second place in the group was Eindhoven. These two teams qualify together, so Manchester United could only play in the UEFA Cup.

Manchester United lost to Wolfsburg 2:3 away in the last life-and-death battle and was eliminated unfortunately.

Group C is the group stage where Atletico Madrid is located, and they and Benfica advance together.

Manchester City scored 12 points in Group D and Juventus scored 11 points, splitting the top two in the group and qualifying for the knockout round.

Another La Liga team, Sevilla, was eliminated and had to participate in the UEFA Cup. However, this may not be a bad thing for Sevilla, because the UEFA Cup and its predecessor, the League Cup, have another nickname called "Sevilla Cup" - Sevilla won the championship in this event in four of ten seasons from 2006 to 2015. In the new century, it basically achieved a monopoly on the championship of this event.

So Sevilla was relegated to participate in the UEFA Cup, but for Sevilla, it was just like a fish in water. For other teams participating in the UEFA Cup, it was a sudden surprise. Is there any way for others to live in the sharks in the kindergarten swimming pool?

In Group eBarceloan qualifies for the group with fourteen points, and they have an absolute advantage in this group. Roma and Leverkusen have six points in the second place, but because Roma has the advantage in the match against Leverkusen, he beat the German team and obtained the right to qualify for the group.

Bayern Munich and Arsenal qualify together in Group F. Bayern Munich ranked first in the 15-point group and Arsenal second in the nine-point group. However, Olympiacos also scored nine points in the same group. Their matches with Arsenal were one win and one loss, with a draw, and compared with the goal difference in the match between each other, Arsenal had the advantage in this regard. Although they lost to Olympiacos at home 2:3 in the first leg, they were unpopular. However, in the last round of the life-and-death battle in the group stage, they defeated their opponents 3:0 away and won the second in the group with the same score as Olympiacos.

Chelsea and Dynamo Kiev in Group G qualified as the first and second in the group respectively.

The situation in Group H was surprising. When they were grouped, Valencia, Lyon and St. Petersburg Zenit, and Gent were divided into this group. Everyone thought Valencia and Lyon should qualify from this group. The result was just the opposite. St. Petersburg Zenit was the first in the 15th-point group, and Belgian team Gent was the second in the 10th-point group. Valencia was the third in the 6th-point group, and Lyon was the last in the 4th-point group.

Real Madrid, Paris Saint-Germain, Wolfsburg, Eindhoven, Atletico Madrid, Benfica, Manchester City, Juventus, Barcelona, ​​Rome, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, Chelsea, Dynamo Kiev, Zenit, and Ghent became the top 16 in the Champions League.

Among them, Real Madrid, Wolfsburg, Atletico Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona, ​​Bayern Munich, Chelsea and St. Petersburg Zenit are the first in the group. Atletico Madrid will definitely not be able to do so in the Champions League quarterfinals. Atletico Madrid, who is also the first in the group, will be the second in each group, but it is necessary to avoid the second in the same group and the team from the same Football Association.

In this way, Atletico Madrid will definitely not meet Benfica in the quarterfinals. As for the situation with the Football Association, there are no other Spanish teams in the second group, so there is no need to consider this.

Except for Benfica's remaining second in the group, Atletico Madrid may encounter it.

Paris Saint-Germain, Juventus and Arsenal are the three strongest teams in the second group, and Atletico Madrid definitely doesn't want to meet them.

The second group with the weakest strength is Ghent, which is probably the opponent that all groups hope to meet.

The draw for the Champions League quarterfinals next week is like buying a lottery ticket and waiting for the lottery results.

Everyone is looking forward to winning that special prize.

Except Ghent.
