So we'll have 3 teams from Spain & England in QF alongside one club from Germany & Portugal ...
For QF i wouldn't mind at all if Benfica & Villarreal are paired together so we'd have one of these underdogs definitely in the next round.
Assuming Chelsea cant go to awaygame with airplane i do hope that they dont face City/Liverpool and instead have to go somewhere mainland europe (for example Barca took bus trip to face Inter in 2009 i think when this iceland volcano had a laugh. I believe they lost that match 1:3 lol) ...
Also i wouldn't mind if we manage to see some pairs for the very first time a la Man City vs Atletico Madrid

again teams from 2 places in the group stage won. Villarreal is a true cup team, winning last year in the Europa League clearly gives them the cup spirit. let's see what will happen next.
now much will be decided by the draw. Benfica and Villarreal deserve to be in the same pair))).

Good morning. Once again Juventus was a mess.They had everything to qualify...played at home and had a better squad but Villarreal played as a team waiting with patience for the best moment to score.Well deserved!..So letĀ“s wait until tomorrow to know the quarter -final draws.
Some draws were today ...
QF:
Chelsea vs Real Madrid
Man City vs Atl Madrid
Villarreal vs Bayern
Benfica vs Liverpool
SF:
Man City/Atl Madrid vs Chelsea/Real Madrid
Benfica/Liverpool vs Villarreal/Bayern
If everything goes according to plan (which i doubt?) then Madrid teams battle out who denies Liverpool chance of treble/quadruple in the final.

Good afternoon.I think Bayern Munich and Liverpool were the lucky ones in this draw, they both should quality to semifinals.Manchester City is also the favorite against Atletico and that Chelsea vs Real is unpredictable to me.Both teams are very solid squads .Looking forward to watching these great quarter-finals matches.
the draw is interesting, Bayern is the most lucky, but in the semi-final, Liverpool is most likely waiting for them.
on the other side of the bracket, defending champions Chelsea beat all 3 teams last year, but this is the Champions League and it's not predictable who will reach the final this year.

I think yes. Atletico knows how to play elimination matches. They have a coach who manages to provide good tactics in elimination matches in the history. They are not beautiful, many people don't like them, but it is successful.fedkov said:
Quarters
Champions league drawn matches 1st legs
Benfica v Liverpool : In my opinion like most this should be a 1 sided tie in favor of liverpool.
Man City v Ath Madrid : In my opinion this is a very hard game to call i wouldn't be surprised to see it go either way slight edge to Man C but Ath Madrid are great value odds wise.
Villareal v Bayern M : In my opinion slight edge goes to Bayern M but i dont think its as one sided affair as most are predicting because Villarreal aint a team Bayern are super familiar with so abit of unknown quantity affect and there good at home.
Chelsea v Real M : Very hard game to call i wouldn't be surprised to see it go either way but in my opinion current form would give chelsea the edge but Real always seen to come clutch in this competition and for that reason are my selection by the cats whiskers.
Gl luck all lets reevaluate after 1st legs if needed š
