Many say that while the semi-finals and the final are extremely important, it's the quarter-finals which are often the most exciting. And so, after the UEFA draw in Nyon, we have the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals and semi-finals. The team on the left (Real Madrid, Chelsea, Barcelona, and Inter Milan) will play the first leg (which takes place April 5th or 6th) at home, and the return leg away from home.
Real Madrid - Tottenham Hotspur
Barcelona - Shakhtar Donetsk
Chelsea - Manchester United
Inter Milan - Schalke 04
The semi-final draw looks will be the winner between Real Madrid v Tottenham against the winner of Barcelona v Shakhtar Donetsk, and the winner of Chelsea v Manchester United will face the winner of Inter Milan v Schalke 04. This sets us up perfectly for a possible Barcelona v Real Madrid semi-final, which would truly be a spectacle. Share your thoughts regarding the draw below!
Looks to me like a Barca v Real Madrid match for the future, those are always good for watching people bet. And Chelsea with ManU is gonna be an english classic as well. This generally looks promising!
ReplyDeleteSomething tells me Tottenham and Schalke could have a few surprises up their sleeves.
ReplyDeleteWe could see a el classico again, which would mean barca and real playing 4 times in 14 days or something like that ? Decent draw though with a couple of interesting games, notably spurs v real and chelsea v man united
ReplyDeleteAll of the clashes look really fantastic, and the only one I think I can call right now is Barcelona to progress past Shakhtar Donetsk. Thanks for all the comments!
