Champions League Draw: Road To Wembley
The Uefa Champions League, Europa League and Conference League draw were out on Friday. The fixtures are incredible and I am sure this quarter-final will be an interesting one because as it stands any team can get knocked out of the competition. The Champions League draw got my attention and I will be sharing the teams facing each other in the quarter-final of the competition.
First up is Atletico Madrid Vs Dortmund. Now this game can go either way but I strongly believe Atletico Madrid can make it through to the next round. Atletico will be hosting the first leg of the fixture so they have to make sure they win at home and go into Germany to take a draw. It is no news Atletico is known for their high defensive play which most La Liga fans call Haram football. They are good at keeping a good high-line defence which I think will come in handy when they go to Dortmund's home stadium for the final leg of the fixture, but like I said before anything could happen and Dortmund might just get the best of Atletico and book their place in the semi-finals.
The second fixture of the Champions League quarter-final is Paris Saint-Germain Vs FC Barcelona. This is an interesting match and it is more like a homecoming match as Dembele will go against his former club and Luis Enrique who was once an FC Barcelona player and manager will be back in Barcelona but this time as an opponent. PSG are a strong team and with the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Dembele they could do some damage to Barcelona's defense, but I will still say Barcelona has a good opportunity to win this game and head to the next round.
PSG will be hosting the first leg in Paris. It will be a good opportunity for Barcelona to try and get something away from home even if it's a draw and come back home to finish the job just like how they did with Napoli last week. Xavi has given a good response to the draw and I want to believe he and the boys will give their all for this match and head into the next stage of the Champions League.
The next game will be Real Madrid vs Manchester City. Now this is a clash of titan fixtures which most people would love to watch. Real Madrid has always had it easy when campaigning in the UCL, they get soft opponents but I am happy this time they got Manchester City again. My money will be on Manchester City to go through the next round of the competition and luckily for City, the final leg of this fixture will be played at the Etihad Stadium. I am looking forward to seeing how this match will turn out and I am not going to miss out on this classic game.
The final team that will go head-to-head is Arsenal Vs Bayern Munich. When I saw this fixture I was like woah this is going to be an interesting match. Bayern Munich has not been at their best so I see Arsenal capitalizing on this and knocking the German giant out of this competition, but we should not forget this is Bayern Munich. They can be deadly and could send Arsenal home in the first leg, it will be interesting to see if Arsenal are really back at top form this season when they face Bayern next month.
It's all going to be interesting next month in the Champions League. Looking forward to all the matches and let's see who will make it to the next round. So guys that will be all for now. Thanks for stopping by and have a good day.
