2023 Champions League Quarter-Final Draw Revealed

The Champions League is heating up, and we finally know who will face in the tournament’s quarter-final. Eight teams are still in the running for the trophy, and Friday’s draw in Nyon, Switzerland finally revealed their fate. Real Madrid is entering the tournament as the defending champion, and they’ll have to defeat Chelsea to continue their campaign for another Champions League title. Their chances are looking pretty good given Chelsea’s struggles this season, but the Premier League club has been making strides in the past few weeks and they won’t be so easy to beat. Manchester City is the only other Premier League club on the quest for the Champions League title. They’ll face Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals, and the winner of this face-off will meet either Real Madrid or Chelsea in the next round. We’ll also get to see an all-Italian derby in the quarter-finals, as Serie A champions AC Milan face current leaders Napoli. Inter Milan will take on Benfica in the fourth quarter-final game. The first leg of the Champions League quarter-final will be played on April 11 and April 12, while the second will take place on April 18 and April 19. The winners will proceed to the semi-finals, being played on May 9 and 10 and May 16 and 17.
