UCL Quarter-Final Draws: “Underdogs” Manchester United Draw Strongest Team in Europe as UCL El Clásico is Avoided
The UEFA Champions League Draw for teams that made it successfully to the Quarter-finals took place this morning and the 8 European teams 
finally know their fate.
Manchester United are to take on the team they beat to win the European Cup in their treble year of 1999, the reigning champions and favourites Bayern Munich, in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. It seems like an unlucky draw for the Red devils as they are in the poorest form experienced by the club in a very long time, having almost lost the quarter-final spot to Greek Champions, Olympiakos, while the Germans remain unbeaten in the Bundesliga this season.
Chelsea have been drawn against Paris St-Germain and this season’s UCL topscorer so far, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The two clubs are league leaders in their respective countries.
Supporters of the two top Spanish clubs will be relieved that Barcelona and Real Madrid, who meet in the El Clásico on Sunday, have been kept apart as Barcelona will take on their Spanish League rivals Atlético Madrid – their first-ever meeting in European competition – while Real Madrid face last season’s losing finalists Borussia Dortmund, the team who beat them in the semi-finals.
For the first time since the Competition was renamed UCL, winners of all groups in the Round of the 16 stage have all entered the Quarter-final stage. The Matches will be played on April 1/2 and 8/9.
This year’s final is to be held at Benfica’s Estadio da Luz in Lisbon on 24 May.
