UEFA Champions League Quarter Final Draw - Preview

All eyes will be on Nyon on Friday the 18th of March as the draw for the quarter- final stage of the 2010/2011 UEFA Champions League takes place. All 8 teams have been confirmed and there are some potentially mouthwatering ties. Real Madrid have qualified for this stage for the first time in a staggering seven years, keeping boss Jose Mourinho on course to win a third Champions League crown at three different clubs. Schalke have a new manager to lead them into the last eight, with Ralf Rangnick replacing the sacked Felix Magath. Carlo Ancelotti is looking for his third Champions League title as a manager and his first as Chelsea boss, Harry Redknapp leads Tottenham into the last eight for the first time in 50 years and Sir Alex Ferguson still has hopes of a Manchester United treble. England's three remaining clubs will fancy their chances as no Premier League side has lost at home in the competition in 18 outings. The possibility of an El Clasico will excite fans the world over, particularly as Mourinho would like to exact revenge on Barca following Madrid's 5-0 humiliation earlier in the season. Mourinho himself is keener to avoid former employers Chelsea and Inter; the holders having completed a remarkable comeback away to Bayern Munich from a seemingly unassailable position. Unbeaten on home soil in all competitions since October 2008, the Ukrainian champions Shakhtar Donetsk hold a formidable record at the Donbass Arena. Managers and players have stated preferences for who they face in the quarter-final, but whatever draw comes up, it's sure to be 4 pulsating games. The ties will be played on 5/6 and 12/13 of April. The semi-final pairings will also be decided, with the games taking place on 26/27 April and 3/4 May. The final will takes place on Saturday the 28th of May at Wembley Stadium in London.
