Champions League Quarter Final / Semi Final Draw

[Fern9do]

English teams dominate draw lineup

There will be an English flavour to the UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw in Nyon on Friday 20 March after Manchester United FC and Arsenal FC swelled the Premier League contingent to four by eliminating Italian opposition on Wednesday.

Open draw
Holders United, 2-0 winners on the night and on aggregate against FC Internazionale Milano, join Chelsea FC and Liverpool FC in the hat along with an Arsenal side who needed penalties to oust AS Roma after both legs finished 1-0 to the home team. FC Barcelona and east-coast rivals Villarreal CF are also still involved, although fellow Spanish Liga side Club Atlético de Madrid were knocked out by FC Porto on away goals. FC Bayern München, 12-1 aggregate victors against Sporting Clube de Portugal, complete the eight-team lineup. The draw is open and without country protection.

Stadio Olimpico final
The event at UEFA HQ begins from 12.00CET and will be conducted by UEFA General Secretary David Taylor and the ambassador for the Rome final, Bruno Conti. The quarter-final first legs will be played on 7/8 April and the return matches the following week. The four winning teams will know who they will meet in the semi-finals – taking place on 28/29 April and 5/6 May – as those pairings will also be decided during the draw ceremony. The final will be played on Wednesday 27 May at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome at 20.45CET.

Chelsea midfielder Frank Lampard admits he doesn't want to draw Liverpool in the Champions League quarterfinals.

Lampard said: "Maybe Liverpool won’t want to play us, but to be honest we are all a little bit fed up with that one. If fate says it should happen then so be it, but I think we would all be happy to avoid it.

"When you look around at who is left in the competition there is not one team you would say you fancy playing. We know that whoever we get in the draw will be strong and we will have to perform to go through."

Frank running abit scared me thinks we all agree with you Frank No one wants to draw the mighty Reds
