UEFA Champions League is one of the greatest tournaments among clubs every year, the conflicts between greatest clubs in Europe were so fierce. But the Draw and Ceremony this year caused so many controversies due to the incredible results.
The draw for the first round game has some limits: the team who rank first could not meet with each other, the team who come from same league could not meet with each other.

The results is so incredible so that many people put off their doubts: are the processes of the draws really fair? Can the council make something to decide the results? The answer is certain, they can make some ballot-balls warmer than others, so that when they pick the ball, they can know which ballot is which team. Some people may ask about the intention of their action, the answer is simple: to make more fans to watch the game, or in another word, to earn more money from wonderful games directed by strong teams.
Although more wonderful games are created by these committees, but I think it is a unfair way, if it is the truth, these committees should not do what they are doing now again. Sports should be fair!
