The draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League will bring together the last two champions, Manchester City and Real Madrid, who have passed each other in the last two years on the way to winning the title. This time the first meeting will be in the Santiago Bernabeu, and the English are sure that it is in their favor, although they are not satisfied with the third year in a row that they meet the Spaniards in the knockout stages.

“I wasn’t surprised, it’s the same balls every year,” complained City’s professional manager, Chiki Begiristain, who hinted at an “arranged” draw, but also exuded confidence. “We are satisfied. The rematch is at home, like last season, so we went on to the final and won. We already beat them, and we have to remember that.”
Coach Pep Guardiola added: “Make it a tradition, so it seems we have no choice but to play once morest Real Madrid for the third year in a row. To win another title we have to get past the kings of Europe. We’ve already done it, but who thinks it will be easy for us following the season passed, he underestimates the strength of the opponent.”

On the other hand, Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti seemed to be smiling and said: “We are the best ever, that is the reality. We lead the league, high in the Champions League, we have no more injured people, we are hungry.” The Italian added: “Our players don’t have stomachaches following the draw”, and in doing so stung Guardiola who claimed such a problem with City players.
