Champions League Quarter final schedule and fixtures:
Quarter final Fixtures:
The draw revealed that English Premier League side Arsenal will face the reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in the first quarterfinal. Both sides will be pleased by the draw considering their strengths. In the second quarter final, Spanish titans Atletico Madrid will face BVB Dortmund. While Dortmund made it into the quarter final on the back of a win against PSV in the round of 16, Atletico Madrid won against last year’s finalists Inter Milan in the round of 16. The tie will be exciting as many consider the two sides to be the weakest in the remaining eight clubs.
The third quarter final has drawn the most attention by far as reigning Champions League winners Man City take on the 14 time UCL winners Real Madrid. The ties between the two clubs in the UCL in recent years have been sensational and fans will expect more of the same.
