The draw for the quarter finals of the
2013/14 Champions League has taken
place on Friday morning and Chelsea
and Man Utd have been handed difficult
tasks.
Chelsea last won the trophy in 2012 and
cruised through the group stages to reach
the last 16 where they were up against
Didier Drogba ’s Galatasaray. After a 1-1
draw in Turkey in the first leg, Chelsea
eased into the last 8 with a comfortable 2-0
win at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.
Jose Mourinho’s men have been rewarded
with a tough tie against big-spending
French outfit Paris Saint-Germain – who
thrashed Bayer Leverkusen 6-1 in the
previous round.
Manchester United have put their
domestic problems behind them and
impressed in the group stages before
turning around a 2-0 deficit from the first
leg to beat Olympiakos 3-0 at Old Trafford
on Wednesday night.
However, David Moyes men will now have
to navigate past reigning champions
Bayern Munich in the quarter finals after
the German giants beat Arsenal 3-1 on
aggregate.
The draw also paired Real Madrid against
Borussia Dortmund, while Barcelona will
take on fellow La Liga outfit Atletico Madrid.
Ties will be played 1st / 2nd April and 8th /
9th April.
