After the usual long and boring draw ceremony, made a bit
longer by the female presenter fainting on meeting Steven
Gerrard, here is the draw for the quarter-finals of the
Champs League, made possible by Arsenal's historic
goal-less
win over Real.
Arsenal vs Juventus
Internazionale
or Ajax vs Villareal
Olympique Lyonnais vs Milan
Benfica vs Barcelona
Matches to be played on...
First leg : 28th/29th March
Second leg : 4th/5th April
(The Inter-Ajax tie concludes next Tuesday, delayed because
Inter and Milan couldn't play at home the same week as they
share a stadium).
First named teams above will play their
home legs first. Our matches will be at home on Tuesday 28th and away on Wednesday 5th.
The draw for the semi-finals has also been made, with the
winners of the paired quarter-finals above meeting each other
on 18th/19th April and then again the following week. In each
pair, the winners of the first quarter-final will be at home
in the first leg (so we would have to travel for the second
leg in the semi as well as the quarter, if we get through).
Our semi dates would be Wednesday 19th and Tuesday 25th April.
Arsenal have never played an Italian side in the knockout stages of the Champs League. Our total record against Juve is P4 W2 D1 L1 GF5 GA3, that's the Cup-Winners Cup in 1980, and the second group stage of the Champs League in 2002.
