UCL Quarter final draw: The UEFA Champions League Round of 16 has concluded, and the top eight teams in Europe have advanced to the quarter-finals.
Bayern Munich is one of these teams, and we’re here to see yet another cringe-worthy ceremony to find out who we’ll face in the competition’s next round.
This time, there is no seeding and only a basic sketching technique.
The semi-final draw will occur at the same time as the quarter-final draw, meaning all teams will know their path to the final after today.
The following are the names of the participants in the drawing:
Bayern Munich (GER)
Manchester City (ENG)
Liverpool (ENG)
Chelsea FC (ENG)
Real Madrid (ESP)
Atletico Madrid (ESP)
Villareal (ESP)
Benfica (POR)
As you can see, it’s largely an English and Spanish affair, with the Group E survivors (Benfica and Bayern Munich) offering some variety.
The last time UEFA held one of these drawings, they committed a major error that resulted in the event being canceled and rescheduled.
Let’s hoping things go more smoothly this time, and Bayern is matched up with a worthy opponent.
