Tomorrow, Friday March 20, the draw for the Champions League quarterfinals. The game remained eight teams, four English ( Manchester, Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal), two English (Barcelona and Villarreal), one from Portugal (Porto) and Germany (Bayern).
Anyone can fall for anyone - at this stage of the tournament is no longer any restrictions . The chance that Manchester United will face either of the English teams is as high as 43% probability. Such a clash in the Champions League takes on a completely different meaning than in the Premier League. For a rematch with Liverpool on Saturday, Chelsea us for last year's final and the rivalry with Arsenal, everything is as fantastic. Seek to interpret the various "flavors" media war, comparing the two teams that announced the players duel between the data, etc., etc. Of course, not pogardziłbym dwumeczów any of those, but that, however, with that trio, and so we play at least two games a year, it I'd rather draw a team from another country. In the end, Barcelona or Bayern game once every few years. And if the Katalończykami competed last year in the semifinals, so much of the Bavarians for the last time we played in the Champions League in the 2001/2002 season in the second group stage. (1:1, Germany, 0-0 in a rematch)

statements persons connected with the clubs:
Johan Cruyff (Barcelona legend)
"Certainly many, who feared the game against Manchester United, now I do not want to come up with Liverpool, who pitched in Real dust, and then routed the United. It's been two convincing wins and prestigious, but each of them a bit others. The Real Liverpool went on to the pitch to attack and suppress them. With Manchester United fought shoulder to shoulder, until finally the match rolled their way because of one event: a red card and the projection of the free Vidicia. With Manchester United, Benitez has exhibited a more defensive team, who was with him very well ripped so soon after taking the ball passed to counter. Quarter-final with Manchester United, Liverpool or Chelsea was not easy, especially since the advent Hiddink. Random selection of Arsenal, Bayern Munich, Villarreal and Porto for many means a sure rise, but we should be careful not to think so in the locker room, because all clubs are paramount.

Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United footballer)
Uli Hoeness (Bayern manager)
"No matter who will be our rival, but I do not want to get to Liverpool, because at the moment their team is very strong. I would also like to play the first meeting of the stay. For example, revenge match played at Old Trafford against Manchester United would not be too pleasant experience. " (Mufc.pl)
"Here nobody is afraid of the enemy. But our recent successes will surely contributed to generating more respect from us. Opponents are likely to watch videos of our recent achievements and ask yourself question: "what's going on." 
found in eight of the best clubs in Europe. For this we have sought. What now lies ahead is of course to win. However, since the quarter-finals also need a little luck. The form must match day, you can not have any players injured or suspended. When everything fits perfectly, it is a good day we can beat anyone.
do not want to play against Liverpool. I find them out for very, very strong. Liverpool is no longer any chance in the championship so they can focus solely on the Champions League. Important it is to play the first game away. This is a very big advantage. I do not want to play first at home to Manchester United, later to go to Old Trafford. "(Bayern.munchen.pl)

Luis Milla (former player of Barcelona)
Sergi Barjuan (former player of Barcelona)
" It does not matter who to hit, because if think about the final victory in the competition, and so you have to beat all in its path. I think the opponent is strong for Barca would be a good contender. This could show really Barcelona shows what level this season, and would eliminate the more difficult opponent. "(fcbarca.com) 
Miguel Angel Nadal (former player of Barcelona) " Basically, islanders are among the toughest rivals. In the context of the drawing is difficult to predict which contestant would be most convenient. Let's just hope that no matter who it is, will go to Barcelona at the best available. If that happens, others will have to worry about. "(Fcbarca.com)
Goikoetxea (former player of Barcelona)
"In the quarterfinals, all teams are strong. Given that this is a tie, Barça should have no trouble on the condition that they will play as usual this season. It seems that Arsenal is the easiest opponent of the grounds that their is composed of many young and inexperienced players. After all, it will still be a difficult task "(fcbarca.com) 
Steven Gerrard (Liverpool footballer)
" We are not afraid of anyone.'ll take who can our fate and we're playing for promotion to the next phase. I think that's the other team should be afraid to get to us, especially after what we showed in matches against Real Madrid. I look at it this way, that sooner or later meet with any team. Whether in the semifinals or finals. If you could pick up rivals, then maybe I would play with someone like Villarreal or Porto. However, no draw in this phase will not be easy. Each team, which reached this stage is good. We all believe in yourself. We have shown - the players, manager and supporters - that we can deal with everyone, if we join forces. Thus sit on a Friday and we'll see who will assign us a lot. Then we wonder what's next. "(Chelsealondyn.pl)
Joseba Llorente
(Villarreal footballer)
" All the teams are very strong, but I'd like to get to Chelsea or at Liverpool after Steven Gerrard said that he wants to hit us. Our successive rivals must see that its difficult match awaits us. I still have some problems with his knee, but today trained normally and I hope that the match against Athletic Bilbao, I ready. We have to play well at home as they are waiting We very difficult meeting. Fortunately, so far does a good job. "(Chelsealondyn.pl) Andrea Dossena (Liverpool footballer)
" Although in the Premier League we went quite easily, Manchester United still has the strength of a champion. The meeting was a difficult league rival Manchester for the first 20 minutes, until they committed the cardinal error of Nemanja Vidic and the outcome of the match was tied. I'd rather not deal with the United in the Champions League, even in the final, perhaps because of rivalries that are under way for years with Liverpool. Outside of English teams, large poses threat to Barcelona, \u200b\u200ba team who can play great on the offensive. However, by choosing one of these two options, we would be better prepared for battle with the Spaniards. We could create a really good match on the pitch. "(Lfc.pl)
Arsene Wenger (Arsenal manager)
" All the teams that continue to play in this competition are very strong, but I am confident that we can beat anyone . At this stage the tournament does not matter who you play. We'll see what will draw. I'm sure we're in for another round. " my personal chart below, who would like to Manchester measured in 1 / 4 LM:
