At 19:00 beijing time on March 18, the Champions League quarterfinal draw is about to be held, and the giant battle will be staged, what wonderful duels will be produced? We'll see!
Lottery rules
The first thing to point out is that from the quarter-finals, there are no rules for avoidance of teams in the same group and the same league, so any two teams may be drawn together.
The semi-final draw also takes place, with two quarter-final winners in one half zone meeting directly for a place in the final without having to draw again, as does the other half.
The team drawn first, the two-legged home and then the guest, but the away goal rules have been abolished.
Quarter-final team
The teams that reach the champions league quarter-finals are defending champions Chelsea, Manchester City, Liverpool (Premier League), Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Villarreal (La Liga), Bayern (Bundesliga) and Benfica (Portuguese Premier League).
Among them, Real Madrid, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Bayern were the top eight teams last season, and Real Madrid, Manchester City and Chelsea reached last season's Champions League semi-finals.
Forward-looking forecasts
Since there are many strong teams in the quarter-finals, the showdown between the giants will be staged, and fans can look forward to it, such as Real Madrid vs Bayern, Manchester City vs Bayern, Liverpool vs Real Madrid, Liverpool vs Atletico, and so on.
Of course, there may also be a "civil war" with the league, such as Manchester City vs Liverpool, Manchester City vs Chelsea, Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid, the last two groups of duels, but also a repeat of the past Champions League finals.
Relatively speaking, Villarreal and Benfica are "big gift bags", especially if the latter can be drawn, it is a "good sign", and the former has the potential to become a dark horse.
