Real Madrid-city, Psg-barça and Atlético-dortmund, IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE QUARTERFINALS

The quarter nals will be played on the 9th (Real Madrid-city) and on April 10 (Psg-barça and Atleti-dortmund) the rst leg and the 16th and 17th the return; the semi nals, on April 30 and May 1 the rst leg and on May 7-8 the return

Two bombshells in the Champions League draw: Real Madrid against the champion and executioner of the last edition and Barça against the PSG of Mbappé and Luis Enrique. Atlético was the one that was most lucky when facing Dortmund, the least powerful rival on paper, although the second leg will be far from the Metropolitan.

Arsenal-bayern, Atléticodortmund, Real Madrid-manchester City and Psg-barcelona were the four pairings in the draw for the quarter8nals of this edition of the Champions League.

The two favorite theorists to win this Champions League will face each other in a quarter-8nal quali8er in which City wants to reissue what happened in the semi8nals last season, with 1-1 at the Bernabéu and a 4-0 at the Etihad. Madrid is once again 8nding the worst possible way, something similar to what already happened to them last season. The 8rst leg will be on April 9 in Madrid and the return on the 17th in Manchester.

The semi8nal duels will face the winner of Atlético-dortmund against the winner in Psg-barcelona, while on the other side of the table would face the winner of Real Madrid-manchester City with the winner of Arsenal-bayern.

Real Madrid, in the case of surpassing City, would not face a Spanish team in the semi8nals, something that would happen in the event that Barcelona and Atlético got into the next round.

One of the issues to be resolved was whether Real Madrid and Atlético could play in Madrid on April 9 and 10 just 24 hours apart, most of all by coinciding rival hobbies such as Dortmund and City. In 2022 it already happened and it was not changed with the Real Madrid-chelsea and Atléticomanchester City matches playing two days in a row. According to UEFA, it depended on the local authorities, who decided that the two matches at home of Madrid and Atleti at home be played in just 24 hours: the 9th at the Bernabéu and the 10th at the Metropolitano.
