UEFA Champions League group stage - Christmas fairytale style | OneFootball

Paris Saint-Germain qualified for the last 16 of the UEFA Champions League after a crazy group stage. In a tough group, the Rouge et Bleu got their Christmas present in qualifying after a rollercoaster ride of emotions. Ho ho ho!

Once upon a time there were four bears:

Prince, our hero, dressed all in red and blue, who lived in his city of light. Bobor, the bear who lived on the Great Yellow Wall, Lombardo and his four-towered citadel, and James from the Northern Kingdom of New Castle. Each bear embarked on a long journey through autumn and winter, in order to win one of the two places to the great spring festival.

It was in his city of light that our hero, Prince, first welcomed Bobor. The yellow bear, as he was known, fell without flinching in the face of a Prince who started his quest in the most beautiful of ways. Twice our hero scored, and his city of light shone brightly.

But in the Northern Kingdom, in New Castle, Prince stumbled before James, who was in search of a place for the first time in over 20 years. In the face of this impetus, Prince had to yield, but there was still a long way to go, and our hero was going to have to pull himself together against Lombardo.

The red and black bear in turn came to the city of light, and took Prince's energy which was renewed at the end of a marvellous show. The stars were shining brightly in the sky, rekindling the hope of winning one of the two places to the Spring Festival. But then it was off to the citadel of the four towers, the home of Lombardo, who was looking to relive the same feelings as the last Spring Festival.

And at Lombardo's home, although everything had started well for Prince, our hero had to yield after a fiercely contested battle. Fate could well have swung his way, but the suspense remained at its height as he welcomed James to the City of Light.

James made life difficult for Prince, but urged on by the masses, he managed to score at the end of a freezing night, to keep alive his hope of taking part in the great spring festival. At the same time, Bobor had found the first ticket by beating Lombardo. It was all going to come down to the yellow wall for our hero.

With his destiny in his hands, Prince stormed the wall, but unfortunately was met with bad luck for a long time. With James leading Lombardo, Bobor was tormenting Prince, and all hope seemed lost. But buoyed by the magic of his people, Prince turned the tide. He returned to play at Bobor's level, while Lombardo defeated James in the Kingdom of the North. The last ticket hung in the balance for a long time that evening, first settling between James's paws, then Lombardo's, but it was Prince who finally clung on most tightly to the ticket, which he took with him after experiencing the heat of the yellow wall.

The gates to the spring festival were now open, and Prince has to continue his journey by facing Sebastian, the Bear of the Kingdom of Anoeta, for the first time.
