The draw for the Champions League quarter-finals is drawn today in the Swiss city of Nyon (Reuters)
After Barcelona qualified for the first time since 2020 to the quarter-finals of the Champions League and Bayern Munich crossed into the same round, fans of the football club are watching and anticipating the possibility that the draw will result in a confrontation between them.
In the draw for this round, there are no rules preventing any team from facing the other, as all possibilities are open, and two teams from the same country can meet, unlike the previous rounds.
Accordingly, it is likely that the draw will result in fiery confrontations, as Real Madrid may clash with Barcelona in an upcoming Spanish Clasico, or with Manchester City, and Bayern may also play with Saint-Germain in a replay of the final of the competition that took place between them in the 2019-2020 season, or The Bavarian team will meet Dortmund in an all-German match, as the final of the 2012-2013 season.
The draw may place Manchester City against Arsenal in an all-English match, so that the date between them will be renewed, but with a European flavour, in light of the fierce competition between them for the English Premier League title this season.
