Among the first teams in the Champions League, who has the worst luck? Portugal Sports is actually the only team among their 8 opponents that are not the top five leagues

Come on, let’s take the World Cup as an example and compare it.

From the perspective of France, which of the following two groups is more difficult? The first type: the three opponents are Argentina, New Zealand and Saudi Arabia. The second type is Sweden, Morocco and Japan. Yes, you don’t have to worry about the fact that France and Argentina are ranked among the top ten in the world. As a seed team, it’s basically impossible to be assigned to the same group. Just look at the difficulty of the group. Did you look at Argentina at first sight? France vs. Argentina, this is the final of the 2022 World Cup. The game between these two teams is definitely a collision between Mars and Earth. The group encounters Argentina, which is definitely a huge challenge for France. Then what? Is there only one Argentina in the group? Could it be that if you lose to Argentina, you will be eliminated directly? With the scale of today's World Cup, the so-called death group in the World Cup is likely not the kind of situation where you encounter top-level teams by chance, but the kind of situation where you draw three opponents that are not very strong but definitely make you extremely uncomfortable. The above two groups, the first group, except Argentina, New Zealand and Saudi Arabia have almost zero threats to France. But look at the second group, Sweden, Morocco, and Japan, which one will make France relaxed? So, don’t be blinded by an Argentina team. The more difficult thing is definitely the second group. OK, let's talk about going back to the Champions League. The first phase of the Champions League draw has ended. Since each team has 8 opponents, the fault tolerance space is definitely much greater than the World Cup group stage. But as shown in the previous example, there must be many people who look at the top teams among the 8 opponents, and believe that as long as they encounter two or three giants, they will sign. But in fact, the real reef is actually the opponents outside the top teams. Let’s take an example that looks extremely difficult at first glance, but when you look closely at the second glance, you will find that they are extremely happy. Inter Milan. Inter Milan fans must be very anxious when they saw them draw Liverpool Arsenal, Dortmund, Atletico Madrid. But in fact, Liverpool and Arsenal are considered super strong, while Dortmund and Atletico Madrid may not be above Inter Milan, or even at a slight disadvantage.

And more importantly, who are the other four opponents of Inter Milan? Slavia, Almaty Keilat, Ajax, Saint Giros United. Are these four teams very delicious? Especially Kyrat, exudes a goal difference atmosphere. Of course, I didn't say that Ajax is weak, but obviously, in a horizontal manner, Ajax is already a relatively ideal opponent. Half of the four opponents come from non-five leagues. What else does Inter Milan want? OK, it's time to get to the point. Who has the worst luck in a team? On the surface, they have not encountered many top-level teams, but their difficulty lies in the fact that they have encountered a few more sub-level teams. How much more? Portugal Sports is actually the only team among their 8 opponents, not the top five leagues. I did not deliberately raise the level of the five major leagues, but that's the fact that the five major league teams occupy the C position in the Champions League. The last time a team from non-five leagues won the championship, it was Porto from the 2003 to 2004 seasons. In the past twenty years, even the non-five league teams that have reached the semi-finals are rare. This unlucky team is Paris Saint-Germain. On the surface, Paris Saint-Germain has the only top opponents, Bayern and Barcelona, ​​which seem to be easier than other teams. But when you look at the other 6 opponents, a suffocating feeling hits you-Atlanta, Leverkusen, Newcastle United, Tottenham, Athletic Bilbao, Portugal Sports. Which one is fish belly? Which one can give Paris Saint-Germain a little rest and a breath? If Paris Saint-Germain is France, then Tottenham, Magpie, Bibao, Pharmaceutical Factory is Sweden, Denmark, Serbia, Morocco. There is no doubt that Paris Saint-Germain is the worst-lucked first team this draw. Even the only non-five league teams, Portugal Sports, is the dark horse of last season and the potential stock this season. Speaking of which, it can be regarded as one of the top teams among the five major leagues. Could it be that this is a special care for the defending champion? In fact, Paris Saint-Germain has a long history of poor signing and luck in the Champions League. I wonder if there will be any problems when they face such 8 difficult opponents this time.
