Not met the wildest dreams of the few and the worst nightmares of the majority, and Real Madrid and Barcelona avoided their quarter-final clash in the Champions League where Real Madrid will face English Tottenham and Barcelona to Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine. However, based on a drawing without restriction has been set the box to the final cross, and if they manage to defeat their rivals have a hypothetical semi-final showdown as both have been placed in the same area of the picture.
Chelsea-Manchester United and Inter-Schalke 04 completed the drawing. Barcelona No vendetta against Inter but one possible end, if it is true that this revenge is watered by the absence of Mourinho at the Italian bench. A Mourinho sees, so far, not achieved its goal of confronting their former clubs, Inter and Chelsea, who face only in the final. Nor will face Real Madrid and Raul for the relief of Seven, and a final between two teams is quite unlikely. The first leg will be played between 5 and 6 April, and back along the 12 and 13 November.
Spanish teams have the disadvantage of playing the first leg at home and return home. Both derive a priori as favorites and seems to be the Barcelona who has had better luck in the draw, although the Brazilian touches Shakhtar , who removed with solvent at Rome in the second round, is a contender too consider. Especially dangerous will be the match in Ukraine, and the Barca team does not keep good memories of travel to those areas after their experiences against Rubin Kazan. Chygrynskiy return to Camp Nou.
For its part, Real Madrid, Tottenham have Gareth Bale a tough opponent. It was the worst possible, but not the best. After eliminating the Milan , the England team is completing a great first appearance in the Champions League has become one of the pleasant surprises of the tournament. It will be an exciting duel between two teams who base their play regularly in dangerous counterattacks. Sergio Ramos will have a difficult task with speed and power of Bale, and Van der Vaart will have the opportunity to measure his former team.
Chelsea and Manchester derby are the only rooms with that end of 2008 still fresh in the memory, when Terry sent to limbo the penalty that gave the Londoners their first Champions League. Rooney, Drogba, Chicharito, Lampard, Nani and Anelka will be among the protagonists of a great British duel, and a Fernando Torres who joined Chelsea to relive nights like these. Ferguson's team, installed in the first place in the Premier, seems in better shape, but Ancelotti can offer the best face in the Champions League. Abramovich wants his romaine.
The winner will face the winner resulting from the Inter-Schalke 04. Face to face again the set of Leonardo with a German team Bayern Munich after removal . One team, Inter, who defends the crown and hand the Brazilian coach seems to have taken up the good feelings, if it is true that Bayern did not qualify until the last moment. The hero of the previous season, Diego Milito, is not in his best shape, but Eto'o is always a guarantee of high-flying duels. For its part, the Schalke team seemed more palatable to all, especially after the recent dismissal of Felix Magath and non-sporting matters. Raul, always hungry, will be one of the most dangerous tricks of the Germans and try to increase its already achieved record scorer in European competitions.
Twente, rival Villarreal in the European League
Dutch team was satisfactory, and the draw they wanted. Having eliminated brightly at Bayer Leverkusen, Castellon box is postulated as one of the major contenders to lift the trophy. No deberáfashowever rse of Twente, Dutch champions are repeating good season in the Eredivisie with only PSV, with one more point is ahead. Trained by the legendary Belgian goalkeeper Michel Preud'homme, is Costa Rica's star striker Bryan Ruiz in spotlight of Seville, and the giant Austrian striker Janko. The home leg will be played April 7 at the Madrigal and back in Holland 14.
Without England in the competition after surprising eliminations Manchester City and Liverpool and three Portuguese teams, the other pairings are Oporto, Spartak Moscow (where would the hypothetical semi-final rival Villarreal), Benfica, PSV and Sporting Braga -Dynamo Kiev.
