Champions League Last Eight Draw
14th March, 2008
The draw for the Champions League last eight has been made, with Arsenal facing Liverpool being the biggest clash.
Champions League quarter-final draw:
- Arsenal v Liverpool
- AS Roma v Man Utd
- Schalke 04 v FC Barcelona
- Fenerbahce v Chelsea
Champions League semi-final draw:
- Arsenal/Liverpool v Fenerbahce/Chelsea
- Schalke/Barcelona v AS Roma/Man Utd
Arsenal and Liverpool will face off three times within a week when they play their two Champions League ties with a Premier League fixture in the middle. There is also the prospect of a third Liverpool v Chelsea semi-final in five years, with Liverpool getting the upper hand in the previous two ties.
Manchester United will be faily content with their draw, where they will not have to face another English side if they are to make the final. However Barcelona will no doubt provide a huge obstacle to reach that stage. The draw also means there is a good chance of an English side reaching the final, with only Fenerbahce standing in the way.
