Manchester City has been pitted against Real Madrid. This clash between two footballing giants has sent shockwaves through the footballing world, with fans eagerly awaiting what promises to be an epic showdown.
Both teams have a rich history in European competition, with Real Madrid boasting a record 13 Champions League titles and Manchester City hungry for their first. The prospect of seeing stars like Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Ramos go head-to-head is enough to excite any football fan.
The winners of the last two Champions Leagues will meet in the quarterfinals next month after Friday’s draw set up another heavyweight clash between the only teams who are still unbeaten.
Madrid won in 2022 with a stunning late comeback in the second leg while City beat the record 14-time champion last year before lifting its first European Cup trophy.
Barça's contest against PSG will evoke memories of several recent ties, with the two teams having met in the knockout stages three times since the 2014-15 season.
Most famously, the Catalan club overcame a 4-0 first-leg deficit in the 2016-17 round of 16 with a 6-1 win at the Spotify Camp Nou in a fixture christened by Spanish media as La Remontada -- the comeback of all comebacks.
Atletico Madrid and Borussia Dortmund - arguably the two underdog teams in the quarterfinals - will face off in perhaps the most even of the ties for a place in the semifinals.
Atletico last reached the semifinals in 2017, while Dortmund hasn’t reached the last four since it made the final back in 2013 where it lost to Bayern.
The tie will undoubtedly be a test of skill, strategy, and determination for both teams. With so much at stake, the pressure will be on as they battle it out for a spot in the semi-finals.
Football fans around the world are eagerly counting down the days until these two powerhouses meet on the pitch. Only time will tell who will emerge victorious in this thrilling encounter.
