Barcelona, who must still play the second round of the Champions League against Napoli after drawing 1-1 in Italy, could face Bayern Munich in the quarters (3-0 victory in the first leg against Chelsea), while Real Madrid could meet with Cristiano Ronaldo's Juventus, after the draw this Friday.

The Whites will travel to Manchester to try to overcome the 2-1 that City achieved at the Santiago Bernabéu. Juventus, meanwhile, must also turn around an unfavorable result, the 1-0 that Lyon achieved in France.

UEFA held this Friday in Nyon the draw for the unprecedented 'Final 8' of the Champions League, a single-match format to be played in Lisbon (12-23 August), as a way to close a 2019-20 season marked by the break several months due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The other two quarter crossings are already confirmed; with Atlético de Madrid, who eliminated the reigning champion Liverpool in eighths, playing against the rookie at this point Leipzig, and Paris Saint-Germain against another team that comes to this round for the first time, Atalanta.

In case of victory against the Italian team, Neymar's PSG would face the winner of Atlético-Leipzig. In the other part of the table the winners of Lyon or Juventus-Real Madrid or City and Barcelona or Naples-Bayern Munich or Chelsea would cross.

The ‘Final 8’ will be held in two Lisbon stadiums (Sporting and Benfica) and behind closed doors, as UEFA announced on Thursday, to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and after the outbreak of recent weeks in the Portuguese capital.

THE PREVIEW OF THE EVENT

The Champions League and the Europa League will compose their calendar tomorrow to complete this season, after almost four months of hiatus, with the draws for their final stages to be played in August in Lisbon, the first, and in four German cities -Colonia , Duisburg, Gelsenkirchen and Dusseldorf- the second.

With no seeds or conditions to avoid crossings between clubs of the same nationality, UEFA will proceed to raffle at its headquarters in Nyon (Switzerland) the quarterfinals, semifinals and the final of the Champions starting at 12.00 CET ( 10.00 GMT) and, an hour later, he will do the same with the Europa League.

Local status will also be raffled among the clubs that reach the final.

 

In the case of the Champions League, with the matches scheduled in the stadiums of La Luz (Benfica) and José Alvalade (Sporting de Portugal), the quarterfinal matches will be played between August 12 and 15; the semifinals on 18 and 19 and the final on 23.

Before, on August 7 and 8, the second round clashes that could not be played in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic, including the tie between Real Madrid and Manchester City, will have to be resolved.

 

 

The idea of UEFA, to maintain the balance of the competition, is that they are played on the field where it corresponds, so Zinedine Zidane's team would have to visit Pep Guardiola's, who won the first leg at the Santiago Bernabéu by 1-2, and Naples visit the Camp Nou, where Quique Setién's team starts with San Paolo's 1-1.

If not, they would also be played in Portugal and as proposed venues include the Afonso Henriques de Guimaraes stadium and Do Dragao in Porto. -Chelsea (0-3).

They are already classified because Atlético de Madrid did play the second games, which left Liverpool, the last champion, at Anfield; Atalanta that eliminated Valencia, Leipzig that got rid of Tottenham, runner-up, and Paris Saint Germain that defeated Borussia Dortmund.
