Champions League: Man United draw Barcelona in last eight

Must read

The UEFA Champions League quarter-final and semi-final draws took place at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland, on Friday 15 March.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is heading back to the Camp Nou – the scene of the most celebrated moment of his career. Manchester United will host Barcelona in their first leg clash at Old Trafford before heading to Spain.

The winner between Man United and Barcelona will have to face either Liverpool or Porto in the semifinals.

The last time United got through to the quarter final of the competition was in 2013-14 when they lost to Bayern Munich.

Serie A giants Juventus will face Ajax following the Dutch side’s incredible victory over Real Madrid while last year’s beaten finalists Liverpool was arguably handed a favorable draw against Porto.

Tottenham take on fellow English opposition in European competition for the first time since the 1972/73 season in bookies’ favourite Manchester City.

Spurs will face back-to-back trips in April to the Etihad Stadium with their second leg clash taking place on April 16 and their Premier League clash following on April 20.

The winner between the all-English tie will face the winner between Juventus and Ajax in the semifinals.

A reminder that Man City & Manchester United are not able to play at home on the same night, nor on consecutive nights, following a decision made by the relevant local authorities. The first leg of Manchester United v Barcelona will therefore be at Old Trafford.

The first legs of the quarter-finals will be played on 9/10 April with the return legs on 16/17 April.

The semifinals first leg will be on 30 April/1 May, and the second legs on 7/8 May.

The final will be played on Saturday 1st June at the Estadio Metropolitano, Atletico Madrid’s home ground.

Full Draw:

Manchester United v Barcelona

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City

Liverpool v Porto

Ajax v Juventus
