Europe’s top clubs are holding their breath before drawing the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League this season, tomorrow at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. Real Madrid, the defending champion, Bayern Munich, Man City and Chelsea of England, Napoli, Milan and Inter of Italy, and Benfica of Portugal qualified for the round of 8.
The lottery will be drawn in a small ceremony, which will take place at 11 am GMT, 3 pm Emirates time tomorrow. And the laws of “UEFA”, starting with the quarter-final matches, stipulate an open lottery, without the condition of avoiding a confrontation between two teams from the same country, and the map of the two semi-final confrontations will also be determined.
The team that draws first will play at home first. The draw promises very strong matches, in the case of the European Clasico between Bayern and Real Madrid, and a very difficult confrontation between City and Napoli, which is distinguished this season. The summit confrontations may be absent in the event that the four teams with the largest nominations move away from facing each other, knowing that surprises are possible, as is the case in the history of the competition.
The draw may produce a repeated confrontation between Real and Chelsea, or an early summit between Seti and Bayern, and there may be a Milan derby in the Champions League between Milan and Inter, and other potential exciting confrontations.
