Final draw
Atletico, Dortmund, PSG or Barca vs. Arsenal, Bayern, Real or City
The UEFA Champions League quarterfinals draw has arrived and it has produced some superb European ties this Friday. Paris Saint-Germain and Barcelona have been reunited with Luis Enrique now leading the French giants having won the title in 2015 with the Catalan giants. Overall favorites Real Madrid and Manchester City will face off in the final before the final which will see one big name fall before the semifinals.
Arsenal and Bayern Munich is a matchup dripping with continental pedigree which offers both sides a shot at the semis. Atletico Madrid up against Borussia Dortmund is also appetizing given the passion on both sides and the potential for an underdog to make it into the semis or further.
The draw has perhaps now opened up for a side like PSG, Atleti and Barca while arguably the favorite for the title will emerge on the other side with City and Real then going up against Arsenal or Bayern just to reach the final.
