Champions League Draw

The draw for the Quarter-Finals & Semi-Finals of the Champions League was made today. Liverpool's opponents (had we gone through) would have been FC Barcelona - what a great game that would've been, instead it will probably see Benfica get completely destroyed.

My two top pics are facing top Italian opposition, Juventus for Arsenal, and AC Milan for Lyon. I'll be gald to see AC go out at an early stage (i.e. the quarter finals), but I will be sorry to see Juve knocked out.

As for the other tie Villarreal vs Inter Milan or Ajax, I personally hope that Inter finish the job and take Villarreal out right after, it would be great to rub in AC's noses if their city rivals progress when they don't.

Quarter final first legs will take place on the 28th/29th of March with the return legs on the 4th/5th of April. Semi finals will be played on the 18th/19th of April (1st leg) and the 25th/26th (2nd leg). The final will, of course be played at the Stade de France in Paris on Wednesday the 17 of May, 2006.
