Manchester United have been drawn against Bayern Munich in the Champions
League quarter-finals, while Chelsea face Paris St-Germain.
Spanish champions Barcelona play La Liga rivals Atletico Madrid, while
Real Madrid meet Borussia Dortmund.
The first legs will be played on 1-2 April, with the return matches on
8-9 April.
After all the delusional optimism emanating
from Old Trafford after beating a very average Olympiacos team I can’t wait to
see Moyes try and pit his wits against Guardiola, if you think Moyes is out of
his depth now wait until the first leg comes round.
United are the by some distance the
worst team left in the competition and the draw means Munich are pretty much
guaranteed a place in the last four.
As for the other ties the one that
really caught my attention was Barca-Atletico that should be the closest of the
lot as they’ve already played each other three times this season and they’ve
all been close games and ended in draws.
Although as Simeone doesn’t rotate
and uses the same XI every single game, added to the fact that they play with a
very high intensity I think over the two legs Barca will be a bit fresher and
for that reason I think they’ll go through just.
The re-match between Madrid and Dortmund
I think will see Madrid exact revenge for last season and go through, as the
season has gone on Madrid have got stronger and stronger and Dortmund aren’t the
same team they were last year and have had too many injuries.
Final tie PSG-Chelsea, I think is
quite tight and both teams have vastly contrasting styles, but I think Chelsea
will go through as Mourinho will no doubt set-up his team to be very tight and
nullify PSG and knick it on the counter.
So for me looking at it now the
last four will be Barcelona, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and Chelsea.
