In what appears to
be a resurgence of old rivalries,
the UEFA Champions League
quarter-final draw has paired old
foes with an opportunity for
vengeance.
Leicester City have been drawn
against Spanish side Atletico
Madrid.
Atletico are the only side left in
the quarter-finals who Leicester
have previously played, but the
Foxes have not beaten the
Spaniards in their four previous
meetings and will be seeking its
pound of flesh.
Leicester’s previous meetings
with Atletico includes European
Cup Winners’ Cup first round 25
Oct, 1961; Leicester 1-1 Atletico
(First leg), 15 Nov, 1961; Atletico
2-0 Leicester (Second leg).
Uefa Cup first round 16 Sep,
1997; Atletico 2-1 Leicester (First
leg), 30 Sep, 1997, Leicester 0-2
Atletico (Second leg).
Spanish champions, Barcelona,
will meet Italian counterparts,
Juventus, in a rematch of the
2015 final, when Barca won 3-1
to be crowned European
champions for a fifth time.
Juventus, who are aiming for a
sixth straight Serie A title, are
competing in the quarter-finals
for the first time since that defeat
and will of course be seeking
vengeance!
Holders Real Madrid travel to
German champions Bayern
Munich, who are managed by
former Real boss Carlo Ancelotti.
The Italian, 57, led Madrid to ‘La
Decima’ – the 10th time they
were crowned European
champions – by beating rivals
Atletico 4-1 after extra time in
the 2014 final.
Ancelotti is aiming to be the first
coach to lead three different
clubs to the title, after also
coaching AC Milan to two
Champions League victories.
French leaders Monaco will go to
German side Borussia Dortmund
after beating Manchester City on
away goals after a thrilling 6-6
aggregate draw.
Which team are you rooting for.
