On 30 August 2018, the 2018-19 Champions League draw and UEFA Awards Ceremony will be held at the Grimaldi Convention Centre in Monaco, where the grouping of the Champions League draw for the new season and the winners of the seven major awards will be announced.

In the last three play-off matches that have just ended, Portuguese Premier League giants Benfica beat Greek side Thessaloniki 4-1 away to eliminate their opponents 5-2 on aggregate. Eredivisie giants PSV Eindhoven beat Butt 3-0 and also advanced to the main stage of the Champions League. Red Star Belgrade drew 2-2 away at RB Salzburg in Austria and secured a place in the main game with a large number of away goals.

As a result, all 32 teams participating in this season's Champions League have been produced. According to the Champions League group stage draw rules, the reigning champions of the Champions League and Europa League and the top six UEFA league winners are placed in the first bracket.

They are Champions League winners Real Madrid, Europa League winners FC United, Premier League champions Manchester City, La Liga champions Barcelona, Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich, Serie A champions Juventus, Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain and Russian Premier League champions Lokomotiv Moscow.

Borussia Dortmund, Porto, Manchester United, Shakhtar Donetsk, Napoli, Tottenham, Roma and Atletico Madrid, these eight teams are in second gear.

Benfica, Schalke 04, Lyon, Monaco, Ajax, CSKA Moscow, Valencia and PSV Eindhoven, the eight teams in the third bracket, all from UEFA's top seven leagues, but there are no big teams, and it is difficult to appear in the group of death this year.

The fourth boon is Club Brugge, Galatasaray, Bern Juniors, Inter, Hoffenheim, AEK Athens, Red Star Belgrade and Plzeň Victory, Inter Milan accidentally fell into fourth gear and the Nerazzurri's group could become a group of death.

This is the situation discussed by Lu Wei and Steele along the way, due to the principle of avoidance of the same country, FC United will not meet Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur in the second gear, Dortmund and Roma and FC United have no intersection, the probability will not be divided together, Porto and Donetsk Shakhtar have limited strength, and Napoli will only Lozano and Jorginho face the topic of their old club, the only worry is whether UEFA will let last season's Europa League champions meet again in the Champions League group stage.

Because Liverpool lost in the Champions League final last season and only finished fifth in the league, they could only play in the Europa League this season, which also made Lu Wei very curious, because FC United is a seeded team, it is impossible to replace Liverpool's position in the original group, but may replace Atletico Madrid.

Draw guests Kaka and Fran did not make Lu Wei curious for long, Kaka drew the first ball and called out the name of FC United, FC United fell directly into Group A, and soon the other seven seeded teams were also seated, and the real draw ceremony was about to begin.

Lu Wei's heart was already hanging to his throat, and his eyes did not blink, staring straight at the ball in Fran's hand.

Fran was still quite serious, directly grabbed a ball and came out, opening the note hidden inside.

"Dortmund

" "Whew~"

Lu Wei breathed a sigh of relief, not Atletico Madrid, not Lu Wei is afraid of Atletico, just don't want to be involved with them anymore, FC United entered the Champions League for the first time, Lu Wei wants to communicate more with other league teams.

The draw ceremony proceeded in an orderly manner, and soon, all 32 teams were allocated to the group, and Lu Wei was also satisfied with the other two opponents in Group A, Monaco and Bern Young, it seems that UEFA's label for Group A is the word "young".

FC United and Borussia Dortmund are both known for developing young players, and the red and yellow youth storm has already shown itself in both Britain and Germany. Monaco is also a more famous black shop in Ligue 1, and after the World Cup, Killian. Mbappe officially transferred from Monaco to Paris Saint-Germain, and the 180 million euros also broke the nominal transfer record in world football (part of Neymar's 220 million is a nominal personal termination fee, although it is also paid by Paris).

As for the Bernese youngsters, their team name is enough to represent "young".

Lu Wei is very satisfied with the result of this draw, Dortmund are still in the rebuilding stage, veteran goalkeeper Weidenfeller has retired, Christian Pulisic has moved to Chelsea, Aubameyang has moved to Arsenal, Sancho is now a red rebel, and Dortmund are still a team that Reus is struggling to support alone.

Monaco have had the worst season in history, with a transfer fee of 180 million euros that almost took the team to Ligue 2, not to mention the Bernese youngsters, and Lu Wei does not think that even FC United will not win against them.

At the subsequent UEFA awards ceremony, Real Madrid, Croatia's double No. 10 Modric, who performed well last season and the World Cup, finally broke the monopoly of Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi for four years and won UEFA's best player.

The best goalkeeper is Keylor Navas, this is the first time that an FC United player has won this award, although this award is awarded to Keylor Navas during the Real Madrid period, Naluwei is also very happy, there is a world best award player in the team, indicating that FC United's reputation has also risen to the forefront of Europe.

The best player in other positions also belongs to Real Madrid, defender Ramos, midfielder Modric, and the best striker is Cristiano, who has already gone to Serie A. Ronaldo.

However, Ronaldo did not appear at the award ceremony, and Ronaldo was also shortlisted for the final three of the best player, but it was rumored before the ceremony that the best player would be awarded to Modric, who remained in Real Madrid, so Ronaldo refused to appear in front of people.

With Steele and Keylor Navas, the trio returned to Manchester satisfied, with the first round of the Champions League group stage taking place on 18 September, during which there will be two league games and a two-week international break, FC United can prepare for their first Champions League trip.
