English big guns paired up in Champions League quarter-final draw

Chelsea will face Manchester United in the Champions League quarter-finals while Tottenham Hotspur have been drawn against Real Madrid.

THE DRAW FOR the quarter-finals of this yearโ€™s UEFA Champions League has thrown up a few mouth-watering prospects with Premier League sides Chelsea and Manchester set to do battle for a place among the tournamentโ€™s final four.

The route to the final remains uncertain for both sides however as the winner of that all-English showdown may have to face defending champions Inter Milan in the semi-finals.

Having beaten Bayern Munich earlier this week, Inter face another trip to Germany in the next round after they were paired with Schalke 04 in todayโ€™s draw in Nyon.

On the other side of the draw, Harry Redknapp and Tottenham Hotspur have been handed the most unattractive of prospects if they are to make this yearโ€™s final at Wembley.

Spurs have been drawn against Real Madrid with the winners to face either Barcelona or Shakhtar Donetsk in the semi-finals.

The quarter-final ties will be played on April 5/6 and 12/13, with the semi-finals following on April 26/27 and May 3/4.

This yearโ€™s Champions League final takes place at Wembley on May 28.
