Dilata has been very busy lately.

The intense work keeps coming, so much so that she has to take prescription medicine to delay her cycle just to maintain a somewhat full mental state, ready for the spotlight of various media.

She first hosted the Champions League knockout stage draw ceremony as the host.

teams that successfully emerged from the group stage, along with their coaches and management, gathered together in a brilliantly lit venue, eagerly awaiting the draw results.

This is a long process; UEFA wouldn’t hastily conclude the draw ceremony just for effect, starting with a highlights reel of the group stage games featuring major teams.

Among them, Tang Long and C Luo naturally became the focal points of the highlights!

The two of them, one scored 11 goals in 6 group stage matches, the other scored 10, their efficiency was jaw-dropping, leaving other forwards overshadowed.

Dilata naturally seized this opportunity to build hype for Tang Long; she specifically mentioned:

"Tang, a Chinese player for Manchester City, scored 11 goals in 6 group stage matches, tying the group stage record of 11 goals set by Real Madrid’s Portuguese player C Luo in the 2015–16 season."

"Now C Luo can’t hold this record alone; he will share it with Tang."

Upon hearing this, several European club coaches and management whispered among themselves.

Although they already knew Tang Long scored 11 goals, many didn’t realize Tang Long actually tied C Luo’s record from last season.

"Tang is indeed too strong, 11 goals in 6 games, almost two goals per game on average!"

"Luckily, we’re not in the same group as Manchester City, otherwise, it would be tragic, hehe, look at Barça, they’re going to the UEFA Europa League now."

"Barça’s president Bartomeu is a good friend of mine; two days ago at dinner, he was complaining he’d never want to be in the same group as Manchester City in his life, haha!"

"When C Luo scored 11 goals in the group stage, he was already 30, while this Chinese player is only 20. His future is boundless; if he continues like this, he’ll surely win the Golden Ball Award!"

"If Manchester City wins the Champions League this season, it’s really possible."

"That’s great; for years, it’s been Messi and C Luo. As a neutral, I’d really like to see some fresh blood!"

But for C Luo, who was not at the venue and watching on TV, hearing Dilata’s words, it made him grit his teeth in anger.

The thing he cannot tolerate the most is his record being broken, especially by a 20-year-old kid.

"Damn it, if Messi broke my Champions League group stage goal record, I’d feel a bit better, but why a 20-year-old!"

Born in 1985, Luo is 31 this year.

Although he still maintains a super high scoring efficiency at Real Madrid, with all physical metrics like those of a person in their twenties.

But time flies, and the lost youth can never return!

No one can live forever, so naturally, no one can escape the body’s natural aging.

C Luo actually understands this clearly; he will eventually face a decline in his career. What he can do is try to use regular diet, sufficient sleep, a disciplined personal life, and scientific training to extend his career.

After being triggered by Tang Long, he simply turned off the TV, not caring about who Real would be drawn against, and went to the basement gym to continue extra training.

For him, the goal this season is definitely to win the Champions League, to add another heavy title to his name as the King of the Champions League.

Since that’s so, what does it matter whom Real is drawn against?

To win the championship, all strong teams must be fought in a round!

Ronaldo was also invited as a guest to the draw ceremony.

Coincidentally, when it was Manchester City’s turn to be drawn, it was his turn to draw.

Ronaldo was so nervous; looking at the glass box with the little balls painted with the Champions League logo, his heart was sweating, and after swirling inside seven or eight times, he still didn’t dare take out a ball.

"God bless, God bless, must draw a weak team for Manchester City, preferably like Monaco, Benfica, or Zenit."

Dilata saw Ronaldo still hadn’t drawn out his hand, just swirling inside, and realized he was really nervous, softly reminding him to quickly take out a ball.

When the sweat on Ronaldo’s forehead dripped onto the stage, he closed his eyes and drew out a ball.

After opening it, his heart suddenly tightened—Bayern Munich!

Dilata was also secretly shocked, cursing inwardly: "Your hand is really good, thank you!"

However, she still maintained a smile, and in a calm tone, announced to the coaches and management of the 16 teams:

"In the Champions League Round of 16 knockout stage, Manchester City against Bayern Munich!"

Bayern Munich’s coach Ancelotti slightly trembled, quickly grabbed the armrest of the seat to stop his body from shaking.

This summer, after Guardiola left Bayern for Manchester City, Italian veteran coach Ancelotti began his tenure at Bayern.

Ancelotti has extensive coaching experience and has succeeded at major clubs throughout Europe.

After arriving at Bayern, the league has been smooth sailing, not regarding strong teams like Dortmund or Bayer Leverkusen. The points table also shows a clear lead.

But Bayern hired Ancelotti with higher expectations, valuing his track record in the Champions League, and his UEFA Champions League trophies won with Milan and Real Madrid!

"What Guardiola couldn’t accomplish, let me complete it!" This was Ancelotti’s declaration to Bayern Munich’s chairman Hennes at the inauguration ceremony.

However, unexpectedly, in the Round of 16, the first opponent drawn was Manchester City.

Bayern’s chairman Hennes was sitting right next to Ancelotti.

He smirked with discontent, as if complaining about God’s unfairness, or the ruthless destiny!

Other teams’ coaches and management were gloating.

Especially those teams that placed second in their group, like Paris Saint-Germain, Eindhoven, Monaco, Juventus, Rome, Dynamo Kyiv, and Gent.

They were all grinning, some even fist-pumping.

These teams aren’t from the Premier League and could have faced Manchester City. Now that they avoided the toughest opponent, who wouldn’t be happy?

On the other hand, Manchester City’s face wasn’t much better.

Guardiola let out a bitter laugh, rubbed his shaved head, pondering, unsure if he was reminiscing about his days at Bayern or thinking about strategies against Bayern;

The newly appointed Manchester City CEO Belada took a deep breath and exhaled deeply, eyes full of helplessness.

He thought to himself: "If we pass Bayern, the next eight-team draw, Ronaldo mustn’t draw again. What bad luck, so many teams, and you draw Bayern of all."

Ronaldo, standing on stage, looking innocent, thought: "Is it my fault? This just means good luck, I’m helpless too!"

Chinese fans watching the live draw also excitedly commented with pop-ups.

- "Oh well, let Bayern face Manchester City, we’ll take a run first, Juventus~"

- "Look at that close-up, check out Hennes’ expression, his face as pale as rotten pig liver, haha, can’t blame anyone; why did Bayern only get a group second, huh."

- "Haha, now Guardiola has to face his old club."

- "I want to see if the Bundesliga lords can suppress Tang!"

- "That’s right, Ancelotti is a renowned coach; it’s time to show his skills!"

- "Why everyone talking about Bayern? This draw also sucks for Manchester City, so many weaker group’s second places, yet they draw the strongest Bayern, what kind of nonsense is this?"

- "Just gotta ask this chubby Ronaldo, really bad luck, worse luck than my roommate’s stinky feet!"

- "My dorm neighbor, a Bayern fan, has already gone to the balcony to smoke, looking quite gloomy; should I go comfort him a bit?"

- "I’m impressed, Ronaldo is actually Tang Long’s agent, and he almost sabotaged him; if Manchester City doesn’t win the Champions League, blame it on Ronaldo."

- "Manchester City fans aren’t afraid; to win the championship, you have to beat all of Europe’s top clubs anyway, better to do it sooner rather than later, playing Bayern sounds good!"

- "It seems Tang Long hasn’t faced Bayern before? Looking forward to his performance!"
