Barcelona draw Juventus in the Champions League quarter-finals

Leicester skipper Wes Morgan insisted he was relishing the chance to take on a Champions League giant.

The apprentice has since taken the reins outright at Santiago Bernabeu, winning the prestigious competition himself last season, while Ancelotti is now in charge at another of the continent’s powerhouse clubs.

The Champions League quarter finals draw is complete leaving eight teams to contest four mouth-watering ties.

“Leicester do what everyone says they can not do”, Zidane told reporters. “I was with him as assistant. l learned a lot from him. It also will be a great, meeting with Dani, a player with whom we lived many years together and shared great moments”.

“Revenge for 2015? I don’t know about that”. No because I remember a time when we went through at Camp Nou.

“I live for these games – when I played I preferred these type of games”.

Both Madrid and Bayern are also now leading the standings in their respective domestic leagues.

“We wanted to avoid Bayern, and I think they wanted to avoid us”.

“This is a classic, which is probably the absolute top draw that lay in the pot”, said the former Germany striker.

“It is nearly like master against student”, commented Zidane, reminding reporters in Real Madrid’s Friday press conference that he had been assistant coach to Ancelotti during his spell in Madrid. We respect Barcelona but without letting fear get in the way. We’re strong, we can face them openly and after that, may the best team win.

“We have the coach who knows the Real team the best, they are an interesting and hard opponent”, said Neuer.

The game is sure to be a delightful display of eye opening interchange play, world class technical ability and a lesson on vintage tactical European football.

The first leg of the Europa League matches will be played on April 13, with the second legs following a week later on April 20.

Both teams are fortified by the knowledge that even in the absence of senior men like Dortmund’s Marco Reus and Monaco’s Radamel Falcao – both injured in last week’s wins – they can turn on the style.
