Chapter 134 Tied for first place in the league
On Sunday night, the No.17 round of the Ligue [-] league kicked off. Paris Saint-Germain will face Sochaux away, because it has only gone through a long journey back and forth in the middle of the week.
Compared with last season, Sochaux's record this season does not feel that this will be a team, and this Sochaux team has not changed much in terms of personnel.
Sochaux, who had a remarkable performance last season, has experienced a big decline since the beginning of this season. In the first 13 rounds of the league that have ended, Sochaux only won [-] victories after [-] games. He is currently ranked No. [-] in the standings. The performance of the team really disappointed the fans.
In the last league game, Sochaux played the best game in the recent period. Unfortunately, the team still failed to win the fifth game in the league this season. Sochaux drew 0:0 with Dijon in the away game.
Compared with Sochaux, although Paris Saint-Germain only played two games after Ancelotti took office, the players' momentum has at least improved, sweeping away the haze of previous unsatisfactory competitions.
At the same time, Paris Saint-Germain, who is aiming to return to the top position in the league standings, will not fail to understand the importance of getting three points from Sochaux. With the recent good state, Paris Saint-Germain can take advantage of the two-game winning streak and pursue another victory, thus achieving the team's three-game winning streak since the coaching change.
After 10 minutes of fierce fighting, Paris Saint-Germain beat Sochaux at home with a goal in the away game. Gameiro, who was replaced by Morris in the last game, continued to start the game and scored the only goal in the game in 10 minutes. Paris Saint-Germain beat Sochaux 1-0. Ancelotti ushered in three consecutive victories after taking office.
After the end of this round of the league, because the league leaders lost to Valenciennes in an away game, this also allowed the victorious Paris Saint-Germain to close the gap with Montpellier after scoring three points. The two clubs tied for the first place in the Ligue [-].
The points are the same, but in fact Montpellier, which still has more goal difference, ranks first in the league's official standings.

After the No.17 league round, Paris Saint-Germain, who did not have a double match in a week, finally relaxed a lot. The next game will have to wait until the next Sunday. This period is enough for the team's players to recover and adjust physically.
Before the arrival of the No.18 round of Ligue [-], the draw ceremony for the quarter-finals of this season's Champions League kicked off. The representatives of the top [-] gathered at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland on December [-].
The draw ceremony for the one-eighth knockout round officially started at [-]:[-] noon local time. UEFA Secretary-General Infantino gave a speech before the ceremony, and then as a guest of the draw, he found opponents for the top [-] of this season's Champions League.
Matches were soon announced one by one. In the [-]-to-[-] Champions League knockout round, the Premier League and Serie A faced each other, AC Milan faced Arsenal, and Chelsea drew Naples.
The two heroes of La Liga have encountered good opponents, Barcelona will face Leverkusen, while Real Madrid will go to Moscow to compete with CSKA Moscow for a place in the quarter-finals of the Champions League.
Also lucky is Bayern Munich. Bayern's matchup situation in the knockout round is relatively ideal. The opponent is Basel who eliminated Manchester United.
The moods of the two Champions League top [-] teams in Ligue [-] can be described as very different. Marseille meets Inter Milan, which will undoubtedly be a strong dialogue full of highlights.
Compared with Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain can definitely wake up at night with a smile, because the opponent of Greater Paris is the relatively weak Athletic Greek team in the top [-] of the Champions League. The two teams have no previous confrontation record in the history of European competitions.
For the first match between Paris Saint-Germain and APOEL, the news media after the draw all agreed that Paris Saint-Germain has been favored by God since the last round of the group stage.
However, for APOEL, Paris Saint-Germain is also a good lottery. Although there is a gap in the strength of the two teams, it will not be as big as Real Madrid and Barcelona. Therefore, APOEL feels that they still have a chance to fight for a Champions League quarter-final.
In the last set of matches, Benfica met Zenit, and both teams also have the chance to advance to the next round of the knockout round.

After the lottery ceremony, the media reporters were also waiting outside the venue and were unwilling to leave. Whoever came out would catch up with whoever was interviewed, and Ancelotti was "caught" by the reporters at the scene without any accident.
When asked what he thinks about other matchups other than Paris Saint-Germain, the famous Italian coach only talked about the few games he cares about. He said: "The Premier League will fight against Serie A, but I am definitely optimistic about the two teams in Italy, especially AC Milan. As for the reason, everyone must know."
"Besides, judging from the situation in the group stage, the Premier League is not doing well recently, while Serie A is still on an upward trend, so I think that although Serie A teams have faced disadvantages in the past against Premier League opponents, the situation will be different this time."
"Italian football has moved forward and with Manchester City and Manchester United out, things don't look good for Premier League teams."
"The collision of these two is a contest of balance, and the Italian team is the bigger favorite to advance. Naples and Chelsea are not at a disadvantage. They have had a difficult period, but now, Naples has returned to the right track."
"I'm a Milan fan, so it's hard not to be emotional, but even if that wasn't the case, I think AC Milan are better than Arsenal and they have some fantastic players."
(PS: As a result, Ancelotti was really unexpected)
Later, when asked about the prospects of the Paris Saint-Germain he coached in the Champions League knockout round, although the famous Italian coach was reluctant to say more, he still insisted that Paris Saint-Germain would try its best to win all the games that could be won next.

After the UEFA Champions League 18/[-] knockout draw ceremony, on another Sunday, the No.[-] round of the Ligue [-] league also followed. In this round of the league, Paris Saint-Germain will face Lille at the Parc des Princes.
Paris Saint-Germain, second in the league, directly launched a strong dialogue with Lille, third in the league. Last season, it was because the defending champion drew with Paris Saint-Germain in the last few rounds of the league, thus establishing his advantage in winning the league championship.
This season, the two teams ushered in their first match. According to the media, Paris Saint-Germain, which has been in a hot state and has a strong winning streak recently, has returned to the strong and unstoppable Ligue [-] team at the beginning of the season.
On the other hand, except for Lille's lack of status in the first two league games of the season, the defending champions have steadily moved forward in the 14 rounds of the league so far. After defeating Dijon in the No.[-] round of the league, Lille's league ranking is second only to Montpellier and Paris Saint-Germain, and the gap in league points is only two points.
Therefore, seeing that Lille, who can become the defending champion, will definitely go all out at the Parc des Princes, especially since Lille is now free from the Champions League, so that he can devote himself to the task of fighting for the league title.
In addition, the media also regarded the rematch between Wang Zi and Hazard as a hot spot. After all, everyone is looking forward to the direct confrontation between the two Ligue [-] rookie award winners in different seasons.
