Chapter 1082 - 259: Champions League Draw, Livestream Mishap (Part 2)

Manchester United’s strength is indeed formidable.

And... the style of the Premier League, you know.

Bayern fears nothing except player injuries.

Meanwhile, Serie A champions Juventus have drawn the current Premier League leaders, Chelsea.

This is a well-matched showdown.

Juventus, though having faltered slightly in the league this season, are now in a frenzied points chase.

Ancelotti has fully recovered, and Kolber has completely integrated into the team. Their overall strength is very strong, having recently achieved eight consecutive league wins!

Chelsea is also doing exceptionally well, with a team formed by Serie A warhead Gutierrez, Blue Army legend Dreiklap, the Premier League’s top villain Tessli, and Argentine prodigy Ferreira. Their market value and salary levels far surpass those of Juventus.

But in terms of squad comparison, they are only second to Real Madrid.

However, both Juventus and Chelsea have pressures outside the Champions League.

For Juventus, they are not yet first in the league.

Florence this season seems to be on something, slightly outperforming Juventus, who had a rocky start.

And though Chelsea are leading the Premier League, you might not believe it, but they are now facing challenges from Arsenal!

You heard right, it’s that Arsenal which was eliminated by San Remo, didn’t even make it past the Champions League group stage, and missed out on the Europa League opportunities!

After their Champions League exit, Arsenal reflected deeply and brought in what seemed to be an insignificant Real Madrid bench player, Collette, to their Champions League squad.

As a result, in the latter half of the season, Arsenal galloped with an unstoppable momentum.

After introducing Collette, they swept the Premier League with fourteen consecutive league wins, directly chasing down the second place on the Premier League standings, launching a fierce assault on the leaders Chelsea!

For a moment, Arsenal seemed invincible!

Mr. Winter was also in high spirits, receiving worship from the Arsenal fans.

Many Premier League commentators who previously thought Winter was too old and ought to retire are now scrambling to amend their previous statements, lauding Mr. Winter.

As if Winter’s ability to lead Arsenal to fourteen consecutive victories was thanks to their encouragement.

With Arsenal’s stellar performance, the management immediately approached Real Madrid: Collette is good, we want to buy him out, any price is fine.

Real Madrid laughed: Do I look like someone who needs money?

Arsenal had no choice but to bow: O King, sell him to us, we’ll give you our captain!

Real Madrid shook their heads: I’m not Barça, I don’t want your captain; I want your world’s best left-back Ashley Gordon and your newly acquired French Alien central forward Nelka.

Arsenal cried: Mr. Winter said your central forward and left-back are no worse than ours, why do you still want them?

Real Madrid: It’s never a loss to stockpile good assets; it’s no big deal if it does.

This conversation ended fruitlessly.

Arsenal’s management realized they missed the best opportunity to buy Collette.

Now that Collette has revitalized the entire Arsenal, he might already be included in Real Madrid’s next season lineup by the head coach.

Alas!

If they had only listened to Mr. Winter initially and bought Collette during the winter window.

What was the point of loaning him!

Now it’s like training troops for someone else.

And it seemed they trained a top star!

What a huge loss!

Wrong to the tune of millions!

Returning to the Champions League draw, only Paris Saint-Germain and San Remo remained.

Paris Saint-Germain was almost ecstatic with happiness.

As a wealthy team, they’re generally not favored by UEFA.

Being a Ligue 1 team, their treatment is even poorer compared to the Bundesliga.

However, unexpectedly, due to the "exposed conspiracy," the quarter-final duel that UEFA loves to maneuver into ended up in the hands of nature.

And fate bestowed this candy on Paris Saint-Germain.

The only weak team among the quarter-finals, San Remo, was thus claimed by Paris Saint-Germain.

As the saying goes, when two armies clash, public opinion takes the lead.

Even though Paris Saint-Germain isn’t the least bit afraid of San Remo, the necessary work must still be done.

Thus, news surfaced in Paris media about San Remo’s owner, Russell Group, facing financial difficulties.

And there were indeed issues with the Russell Group.

So everyone started discussing this matter.

Such rumors naturally affect the players’ mindset.

If the company is about to collapse, can you still remain completely calm?

That’s quite foolish!

However, the Russell Group quickly took action, releasing some information after a brief silence, including a large loan from a trust institution.

Upon further investigation, to everyone’s shock, the key person behind this trust institution was... Sofia!

"Torino Sports Paper": "That woman made a move! Sofia stakes One hundred million euros, betting on Russell Group!"

"Republican Newspaper": "Crazy! Sofia may lose everything! If the Russell Group goes bankrupt, it’s tough to get the money back!"

"Milan Sports Newspaper": "Sofia’s asset reveal! Already wealthy, his projected income from various sources in the past three years is as high as five hundred million euros! Surpassing stars across Europe and America, skyrocketing to the top on paper!"

"Bild": "Sofia has no real estate industry experience, such an investment is truly irrational!"

"The Times": "Kiss of Europa rescues the market, what on earth does Russell Group have that she finds appealing!"

"London Daily": "Film royalties are Sofia’s main income; this investment may be related to Lu Yang!"

"Los Angeles Evening News": "Film actor and film director? No! Sofia’s true identity is an investor!"
