Sevilla dumped Manchester United out of the Champions League last night. Hey-ho, not to worry, the Blue half of Manchester still has a vested interest.

Teams in the draw

Juventus (Italy)
Liverpool (England)
Manchester City (England)
Real Madrid (Spain - holders)
Roma (Italy)
Sevilla (Spain)

Tonight's last 16 second leg ties will make up the final two places.

Besiktas (0) v (5) Bayern Munich
Barcelona (1) v (1) Chelsea

Quarter-final draw

The UEFA Champions League quarter-final draw will take place in Nyon on Friday 16 March at 11:00 GMT.

BT Sport and talkSPORT radio within the UK will broadcast the event, live.

When will the ties be played?

The first leg games will take place on Tuesday 3 and Wednesday 4 April, with the return legs on 10 and 11 April.

The Champions League quarter-finals do NOT protect clubs from their own respective leagues. In other words MCFC could be drawn against Liverpool. I would have added Chelsea into the equation but I doubt they will make it.

Who would you like in the quarters?

As for me, Sevilla, who were awful against the Rags tick all the boxes.

Come on CITY!
 
I'd like the rags please, oh wait, sorry, my bad.

Either Navas' or Dzeko's sides would be ideal.
 
Yep - a reunion with City old boys at Sevilla would be nice, first leg in Andalucia please.

Failing that it would be nice to see Dzeko 'edin back to Eastlands.

*Assuming Besiktas don't make it.

 
Happy to take on the Dippers, should not be too much trouble, would have prefered to meet them in the final.
 
Wow. The draw in full.

Barcelona v Roma
Sevilla v Bayern Munich
Juventus v Real Madrid
Liverpool v Manchester City

See how the old "royalty" all got the lesser teams.
The Hot Balls are alive and clicking. Fixed.

You really couldn't make this up

They couldn't run the risk of having two English teams contest the final.
No doubt they would prefer the dippers to progress ( old royalty) so do not be surprised to see a City sending off, or two, over the two legs.

On the bright side we will have one British Team in the semi. I just hope it is us. Roma would be good.
 
*Note to self......

Remember to have a vomit bucket available for the match at Candlefield to deal with all the references to thos "special European football nights" :024: :089:

How do they 'fix' it with 'hot' balls - presumably thous would mean every time there is a cup draw they would have to choose officials/ex players etc who are corrupt enough to be bought off and guaranteed not to spill the beans in the future. Not sure this would be possible although of course you may well be right.

 
Not sure how old royalty (Real) will be with drawing the Old Lady of Turin. I guess that after PSG in the last round they will be glad to have what should on paper be an easier tie.

Liverpool were the one team I didn't want although will be happy with a repeat of this seasons games with us progressing 8 - 4 on aggregate.

Exciting times...

 
The Ped UCL Draw Report

Can anyone explain quite why UEFA needs to deliver the lavish method of drawing the various stages of the Champions League when me and my mate can do it at home, on our own, after watching Barcelona destroy Chelsea?

With their Stretford Darlings consigned to the recycle bin, devastation swept through UEFA HQ as the Faceless Hotballers of Nyon set about securing the 2018 Champions League futures of the two clubs that frighten them most, notably Real Madrid and Bayern Munich.

It is with some amazement that they skilfully negotiated ensuring that Bayern, Real and Barcelona remained separated while the returning "old kids on the block" were paired with the "new kids on the block" in order to eliminate at least another part of the "English threat" at the earliest opportunity. You could almost see them loading four balls into the microwave while keeping the remainder in the freezer.

Not only did they achieve that, but they somehow contrived to arrange for the said Bayern and Real to be drawn away in the first leg, presenting each with a favoured opportunity to repair any damage in front of their own fans. Too add insult to injury, Liverpool and City have to play each other twice in six days either side of their local derbies. True Liverpool and Everton is little more than a weekly exercise for the real mighty reds, but the City-Stretford affair may well have the Premier League title hanging on it, before City go again three days later, to try to secure a place in the semi-final.

My mate and I looked at the eight teams left on Wednesday night and predicted how the draw would manifest itself more or less to the letter, except that we had the Liverpool-City fixture the other way around to reduce City`s chances as much as possible.

On the plus side, at least both teams are still in the competition for now. United performed yet another Mourinho Masterclass, straight of the Porto book, but this time to no positive effect. They were not even as good as dire. What has happened to them? Mour money isn`t the answer Jose. The answer is to get something out of the footballers you have. The Pog seems to have died a death, Sanchez looks like a pub player, even the mighty De Gea, for three seasons your best players, looks as though he`s chucked in the towel and can`t wait to get back to his beloved Madrid on the first available easyJet. You have murdered Rashford who, if properly coached, could become something similar to Sane with possibly more goals in him. At Sold Trafford he will stagnate before following the Phil Jones, Smalling et al to the exit chute. Whereas the two mentioned will probably end up at West Ham or something like that, at least Rashford could find his way to something more in line with his ambitions.

Both Klopp and Guardiola would have preferred avoidance of each other, but paradoxically they will both be secretly relishing this contest, which gives each of them the chance to right some wrongs. City with their woeful record at Anfield must make sure that they play the match and not the occasion as the home of the five-time winners of the competition will be rocking to the rafters as they once again belittle themselves by booing Sterling, who in my opinion should be absented from this match.

One forgets that City only lost 4-3 at Anfield this year. The commentating and pundit world seems to think that time stood still at 4-1 and that City`s two late goals were goals of a consolation nature. They forget that Aguero came within a whisker of equalising and of the match had gone on for five minutes more City would have won as their midfield bottlers lost control.

It will be one of the most interesting weeks in the whole history of Manchester City and one that we can`t wait for.

I am sure it is not difficult to grease some palms,, I mean Step Ladder admitted that they fixed some draws with warm balls
 
‘Hot balls’ is what we say but all you have to do is put little dimples on the things. Find those with your fingers or finger nails and hey presto.

Just odd that Bayern, Barca AND Real Madrid avoided each other.

I missed the draw....what was the sequence they were pulled out?
