The 2023/24 Champions quarterfinal/semifinal draw is ready with elite European teams set to go head-to-head for a place in the last four of the competition.

LCSoccerHub brings to you three major talking points in the draw

Revenge mission for Real Madrid and consolidation of European dominance by Manchester City

One of the most talked about fixtures in the draw is the Real Madrid Vs Manchester City tie. The two teams are currently the best teams in Europe and having them slug it out in the Champions League quarterfinal could not be more intriguing for football enthusiasts.

It will be a revenge mission for Real Madrid who lost in last year’s semifinal to the Premier League giants. Conversely, Manchester City will hope to consolidate their newfound status as European conquerors by edging out the LaLiga and European giants.

A lot is at stake going into the game. It is a tie that will answer key questions on the supremacy battleground for the elite clubs. Can Manchester City sustain their European dominance and has Real Madrid succumbed to the emergence of a new European football superpower? Such questions and numerous others will be answered in April when the two teams lock horns in a double-legged Champions League tie.

Tricky Bayern Munich Vs Arsenal fixture

Arsenal and Bayern Munich’s relationship in the Champions League has been more of a master-servant relationship.

Before failing to qualify for the competition in the last seven years, Arsenal have been knocked out three times in the round-16 of the tournament by Bayern Munich.

It has been 14 years since Arsenal qualify for the Champions League quarterfinal and coming up against Bayern Munich – their round 16 nightmare – is a perfect moment for revenge.

Real Madrid and Manchester City are favorites to win the competition

All eyes are on Real Madrid and Manchester City with the two teams tagged favorites to win the competition. With a spick and span domestic form and still maintaining their threats on the European scene, the winner of the quarterfinal tie between the two is more likely to go far in the competition and possibly win the title.

Bayern Munich and Barcelona are the next two teams tipped to win the competition should they progress to the last four of the tournament.
