Chapter 809: Chapter 576: Buffon, Don’t Run! We Meet Again on the Champions League Stage!

In the 2016-2017 season, after the Champions League semi-finals were determined, the next step was still the draw.

The upcoming draw ceremony has become the focal point for fans around the world.

Real Madrid, Manchester City, Juventus, and Dortmund, these four teams happen to come from La Liga, Premier League, Serie A, and Bundesliga, each carrying the glory and expectations of their respective leagues.

Before the draw ceremony began, the online world was already in a frenzy, discussions were everywhere.

Fans transformed into prophets, engaging in fierce predictions across major platforms, the debates surged like waves.

Some fans are eager for the clash between Real Madrid and Manchester City, impatient to witness this peak showdown.

"The biggest game-changer in this year’s Champions League is undoubtedly Real Madrid and Manchester City, sooner rather than later, let them meet in the semi-finals, that’s what I call exciting!"

"Agreed! I’m already impatient to see C Luo and Tang Long meet on the Champions League stage, just the thought of it is thrilling!"

"This should be their first career encounter, it’s like a clash of titans, definitely a game that will go down in history, its excitement is entirely foreseeable!"

While Serie A fans, especially those of Tang Long’s old club Inter Milan, have different expectations.

They wholeheartedly hope Manchester City draws Juventus, intending to use Manchester City’s strength to stop Juventus, preventing them from entering the Champions League final.

"Looking forward to an intense battle between Manchester City and Juventus, successfully halting Juventus’s progress, let’s not let them reach the Champions League final!"

"Even if Juventus reaches the final, so what? They’ve gotten second place in the Champions League seven times, that title of perennial runner-up is not undeserved, they are just Kia! Hahaha!"

"There’s nothing else, just want to see Tang Long show Juventus what’s what once more, especially to give Buffon a good thrashing, that old dog."

"Sigh, if only Tang Long were still wearing the Inter Milan jersey. A Champions League semi-final between Inter and Juventus, but unfortunately, perhaps it will be many years before such a matchup can be seen again..."

Premier League fans, especially local Manchester City fans, are eager to draw Dortmund, very much hoping to get this Bundesliga team.

On one hand, although Dortmund is strong, compared to the other three teams in the semi-finals, it seems slightly weaker — a media consensus before the draw.

If Manchester City draws Dortmund, their chance of advancing to the final is very high.

Just thinking about the team’s first-ever advance to the final in history, even if they eventually miss the Champions League trophy, many long-time Manchester City fans feel their lives have no regrets.

On the other hand, many Manchester City fans look forward to witnessing whether the Premier League can thoroughly crush the Bundesliga.

Manchester City as the Premier League’s leader this season has demonstrated the highest level of competition of the entire Premier League in terms of personnel configuration, player value, tactical approach, and league points.

Bundesliga powerhouse Bayern has already been defeated by Manchester City, if Dortmund loses to Manchester City too, it means Manchester City achieved a double kill of the top two Bundesliga teams, thereby the Premier League would completely crush the Bundesliga on the competitive level.

However, the final outcome still awaits the unveiling of the draw ceremony.

Mendes accompanied C Luo to watch the live broadcast at his home.

Before the draw ceremony began, Mendes asked C Luo:

"Cristiano, who do you hope Real Madrid draws?"

At this time, C Luo was putting on a face mask, lazily lying on the soft sofa, relaxed.

"The thing is, every draw you ask me this question, I’ve said it many times, if we want to win the Champions League, we need to become the best team in the world, which means it doesn’t matter who we draw."

Mendes continued, "Aren’t you afraid of drawing Manchester City early? This way you and Tang will have a showdown in the semi-finals, that would definitely be a peak duel."

C Luo gave a cold laugh, full of confidence and charisma in his tone: "Drawing Manchester City in the semi-finals, too late, if we drew them in the round of 16, Tang Long would not have even been in the semi-finals by now."

Mendes laughed loudly, giving C Luo a thumbs up without hesitation.

"In my heart, you’re the uniquely best player in the world, this charisma is your asset."

Listening to the TV, where the female commentator is opening the ceremony, watching the camera sweep over scenes of various celebrities gathered, Mendes paused before speaking again:

"Do you think this draw is truly random?"

C Luo glanced sideways at Mendes, didn’t speak, just quietly waited for him to continue.

"I’ll make a bet with you, Cristiano," a sly smile appeared in Mendes’ gaze, "Manchester City certainly won’t draw Real Madrid, and you don’t need to think about facing Tang Long in the semi-finals."

"Unlikely as it is, Manchester City will likely draw Juventus or Dortmund, just watch."

The final draw result was indeed what Mendes predicted!

The semi-final matchups are as follows:

Real Madrid VS Dortmund

Manchester City VS Juventus

Mendes clapped his hands and laughed, his hearty laughter echoed in the spacious living room of C Luo’s home. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

"I knew it, Real Madrid and Manchester City are absolute title contenders. How could they decide victory in the semi-finals? UEFA would certainly save them for the end for program effect."

C Luo also laughed, with determination in his eyes, saying: "Alright then, just wait for me to lead Real Madrid to defeat Manchester City, defeat Tang in the final!"
