Champions League Quarter Final Draws!!!

[Vega]

So here are the fixtures/draws for the quarter final of the UEFA Champions League:

1. FC Barcelona vs Atletico Madrid

2. Real Madrid C.F. (Hala madrid!) vs Borussia Dortmund

3. Paris St. Germain vs. Chelsea

4. Manchester United vs. FC Bayern Munich

---

My opinions for these games:
1. Man this will be good, both tough teams but Barca will most likely come out on top.

2. Madrid has this one, Lewandowski is already out the first leg and most of Dortmund's players are injured. I feel bad for them though.

3. This is gonna be really good as well! Ibrahimovic will definitely score soem greats goals but I feel that Chelsea's defense and Hazard will help Mourinho to advance.

4.Lmaooo, unlucky Moyes. Literally David v. Goliath. Man United has mission impossible right now.

I'm looking forward to chelsea vs PSG cos that can go either way,
Madrid wins mid diff
Barca wins extremely high diff
Bayern wins low - mid diff.

*Engages football fan mode* As a Chelsea fan, I feel the draw has been pretty good for us and probably gives the best chance of getting through (apart from Man U,LOL), I just wish that Barca had drawn Bayern, just so that one big was definitely going out.

Yeah, I can definitely see the same teams from the 2012 champions league make the semi-finals.

lol do you like Man U? I feel if Man. U somehow beat Bayern then they could win the tournament, but the odds of that are slim to none.

There's such a gulf between United and Bayern right now, but nonetheless, it's a prestigious matchup with lots of history between the 2 clubs and lots of tight score. As long as United fight valiantly, I'd keep the tiniest of hope. We'll always be underdogs whatsoever this season!

I love Dortmund but I see Real progressing to the Semis again. Remain to be seen if Madrid will finally move further than Semis after being stuck there for past seasons.

Atletico-Barca will be really tight but I got a feeling that Barca's bigger Champions League pedigree and experience will give that extra edge.

Experience...wonder if that will help Chelsea to break the tight deadlock against PSG. The closest matchup probably in these QFs.

Man U are as good as gone, Moyes has a terrible record against top teams and... well... have you seen them this season?

I don't really like them, i just feel sorry for them, two years ago they were really strong, they went down after Sir Alex left, Bayern will demolished them.

I agree.
As a Madrid fan, I must say I wished not to play Dortmund. The first leg I expect Madrid to win at least 2-0 but the second leg may not be the same with Lewandowski starting. Overall this is an injured Dortmund unlike how they were last season, and that really takes away from the event since I like it went both teams are at their strongest.
I definitely think Chelsea vs PSG will be the best game of the QFs, really looking forward to see how Ibra does against their defense.

Man U are as good as gone, have you seen them this season?

Yea, unfortunately, I saw some pathetic showings this season.

Fortunately, I also got to see this:

More than Lewadowski, it's the different midfield and defense of Dortmund...that I don't believe they can replicate last year's performance.
Lewandowski will still be here in the second leg, and in the first leg, Mhikthriyan and Reus and few other can always be dangerous on counters...which most likely will be the game plan.

But there won't be the Gundogan-Bender pair to harness Madrid's midfield and without Subotic, Hummels is less assured in some departments. Hummels is very good but he can be error-prone and Subotic was more consistent pair to him, that provided a solid central defensive wall. I don't want to get on how dangerous Madrid's attack is...which is really the most worrying. Even with Lewandowski, they might be on the backfoot too often with Ronaldo, Bale and Co.

That was a good strike from Rooney, but honestly, the keeper did an extremely poor job with it.
With Bayern running rampant in the Bundesliga, a lot of people seem to have forgotten that Dortmund are still a good team. Having said that, the attacking talent that Real have at their disposal is unreal. Any defense would have trouble against them. But, as you said, Dortmund can break quickly. I'm not familiar with what defenders Real are playing with at the moment, but most of them certainly aren't as quick as Reus, so Madrid could have some real problems if Dortmund get behind their back four often enough, so yeah, counter attacks. Dortmund can probably win one of the legs, but I don't think they'll win over 2. Should be an interesting game though.

Barca 1-1 Atl. Madrid

Man U was able to pull draw against Bayern, even though English teams play good in Germany, i think Bayern will beat them home.
I would like to see Atletico in Semi finals.

After an interesting draw as a Manchester United fan, I am happy, I love this club, and I must say boys improved their game yesterday, few tips from Neville or Giggs maybe?
It's rather interesting that Barca was only able to get a draw, certainly hopes were high and Barca fans must be disappointed, still I think they will work hard in next match and play well, call it my instincts.
Real vs Dortmund is like two highly anticipated teams playing against each other. Considering the way Dortmund defeated Real in last year semis, well it is tough one to pick in my opinion, but situations are different, and so are the players. It is going to be tight one.
That leaves us with last but not the least PSG vs Chelsea, it is another tough one to pick, although I think Chelsea will get through, still let's hoping that Ibrahamovic won't ruin the party for Mourinho and boys.u.u
