Champions League: Juventus to face Barca as Leicester get Atletico Madrid
The quarter-final draw is open for both the Champions League and the Europa League, meaning any of the remaining eight teams can face off against anyone regardless of the nationality. The quarter-finals draw was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. I don’t believe where the second leg is played makes a difference.
They are perhaps the only team that has shown they can neutralize what Bayern do best.
“You want to pit your wits against the best players in the world and that’s what they are”, said Morgan, who scored the Foxes’ first against Sevilla. We knew they had quality players, we knew they had risky players. Seeing Robert Lewandowski and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang exchange scoring blows would be fun to watch, but this tie in the quarterfinals would not be good for German football.
Master versus pupil: “That’s true. He’s a great guy and we know what he achieved here”.
“Carletto”, as the Bayern manager is known, will keep his cool, at least in the fevered lead-up to this mighty collection, although even the sanguine Carlo Ancelotti knows this blockbuster is not just any other game. “I reacted quickly and everything went well for me”, said Oblak.
The goalkeeper took plaudits from team mates and rival players alike.
Box-office quarter-final: “I live for these moments. It’ll be a great tie to play in”. I think we have the ability to beat Real Madrid. “I don’t know about it being a title-winning victory; what I do know is that they’re three very valuable points for us”.
Barcelona will be heading into the quarter finals full of belief after their miraculous turn around against PSG, following their 6-1 win at the Nou Camp.
Neither of these teams are strangers to finding the back of the net this season, with Leonardo Jardim’s Monaco averaging over three Ligue 1 goals per home game domestically.
