Sitting quietly in the audience, Qin Xi and Mount next to him anxiously waited for the start of the drawing ceremony.

Thinking about this time last year, they watched the draw together at the Komba base in west London.

This year, Chelsea, as the defending champions, naturally attracted the attention of the world.

Ahead of the draw, the strong Blues were at the top of the odds of winning the Champions League in the new season, even ahead of Paris and Manchester City with the blue moon.

This is also the first time Qin Xi has come to the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, which is a commemorative day for this fledgling Chinese man.

"Have you heard? Director Linda was talking about a transfer with a Champions League team earlier today? Mount asked softly to his friend next to him.

"I also watched Natan and Ostern post this on social media, but it seems that they have signed some confidentiality agreement with the club, so I don't know which lucky person from which club." Qin Xi said softly.

They looked at Tuchel next to them, who was sitting with Linda.

The two communicate very well and seem to have a good atmosphere.

"Will it be a substitute goalkeeper? After Kepa left, we would need a qualified substitute who could play as Mendy's substitute, but in the Champions League, it seems that no one will want to sell the main team to a rival, right? Qin Xi muttered softly.

"Or is it a wing? You know, Eden Hazard is a glass man now, and in our team, only me and Sterling and the useless Hardison are the wingers, and after Christian Pulisic left, the coach is also a smart woman. Mount smiled.

He is not afraid to compete because, as things stand, his position is solid enough.

Before the two could say a word, the draw ceremony was about to begin with the appearance of host Marchetti and Pinto.

So they could only fix their gaze on the center of the stage.

First of all, the host Pinto released a speech in which he expressed respect to the major clubs under the UEFA umbrella.

Last year, with the change of World Cup dates, clubs across Europe were caught in passivity.

As the main players of the major national teams, they take a lot of risks.

The intensive schedule has caused many clubs to suffer a lot of losses, and many players have suffered severe injuries due to fatigue.

There are even cases like Denmark's Andreas Christensen, who retired early due to injury.

UEFA also announced that FIFA President Mr. Infantino promised FIFA to pay for some clubs that have suffered losses and carry out part of the compensation work.

Chelsea lost important players such as Christian Pulisic during the World Cup.

He also received a large amount of compensation.

But this is only a drop in the bucket for the prize money Chelsea received in the Champions League and Premier League last year.

.......

After some official exchanges, the drawing ceremony officially began.

The guest of the draw is a Romanian celebrity, Hajj.

He was once known as the Maradona of the Carpathians and enjoyed a certain fame in the world.

Of course, he was also one of the best midfield masters of the mid-80s.

The venue for the Champions League final was the National Stadium in Bucharest, the capital of Romania.

As home to Bucharest, winner of the '86 Champions League, they are more than enough to host the final of this competition.

This is also one of UEFA's support policies for some European countries.

Before the draw began, the organizing committee presented the best goalkeeper award of last season.

Milan goalkeeper Menion, Chelsea goalkeeper Mendy and Manchester City goalkeeper Anderson were all selected.

In the end, Mendy deservedly won the award.

Chelsea are the fifth seeded team to be drawn.

They are seeded alongside Paris Saint-Germain, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Bayern Munich, Ajax, among others.

Ahead of the start of the draw for the second pot, UEFA also presented last season's best defender award.

James lived up to expectations by defeating Te'o and Reuben. Dias, got this honor.

The second draw is also the most exciting moment for everyone.

Barcelona, Juventus, Borussia Dortmund, Manchester City and other strong teams are all in the second gear.

What made Chelsea's scalp tingle happened, and in the end, Haji failed to bring good luck to his old club Barcelona, who will face the defending champions in the group stage of the Champions League.

"Oh my God, it's Barça." Qin Xi couldn't help it, and said to Mount next to him.

"yes, you can see Torres and Rafinha again."

Mount's words did not fall, and the third award is about to begin.

Best midfielder, almost swept by Chelsea.

Qin Xi and Mason Mount, as well as AC Milan's Tonali, were selected for the award.

Of course, the selection of the Italian back is well deserved.

Last season's Champions League, his performance was phenomenal, and it also allowed Milan to eliminate Manchester City and other strong teams to enter the final without being favored.

Looking at the video on the screen, Qin Xi couldn't help but burst into tears.

He has seen highlights and replays of his games many times, but witnessing his performance last season with representatives of the remaining 31 clubs is still unimaginable.

As an attacking midfielder, Mount actually appeared more on the winger last season.

However, UEFA actually made him a candidate for the best midfielder, and was also ridiculed by the news industry as to make Chelsea suffer internally.

After all, the Blues' dominance last season is beyond doubt.

The award for midfielder of the season is different from the award for the best player in the Champions League at the end of last season.

Finally, when the host read Qin Xi's name, several Chelsea teammates expressed special "encouragement" to him.

Indeed, Qin Xi last season was one of the absolute contributors to the team's Premier League and Champions League titles.

His stunning goal against Paris Saint-Germain was played on the screen repeatedly.

The Chinese man with tears in his eyes, under everyone's gaze, walked onto the podium.

When he received the trophy from Ceferin's hand, Qin Xi couldn't bear it.

For him, a dream year is not the end.

Although the camera is still repeatedly focused on Mason. Mount, you can see, he is not lost by missing out on the trophy.

His friendship with Qin Xi is obvious to all.

The curly-haired man in a suit on the stage is his best man and godfather to future children.

Three days ago, when Barbara handed the dark white pregnancy test to her husband, Club No. 19 cried with excitement.

The future captain of Chelsea FC is going to be a dad.
