from barça official site FC Barcelona will meet Juventus in one of the outstanding clashes produced by the draw for the Champions League quarterfinals. Barca will play the first leg in the Delle Alpi stadium in Turin and the second and decisive leg in Camp Nou. While there's no all-Spanish confrontation in the quarterfinals, there may be in the semis when the winner of the Real Madrid-Manchester United game will play either FC Barcelona or Juventus. There could be a repetition of last year's Real Madrid-Barcelona semi-final, this time with the second leg in Camp Nou. The full draw for the Champions League quarterfinals: Barcelona - Juventus Ajax - AC Milan Internazionale - Valencia CF Manchester United - Real Madrid The first leg will be played on 8th and 9th April and the second leg on 22nd and 23rd. The semi-finals will be on 6th and 7th May (first leg) and 13th and 14th May (second leg). The final will be played in Manchester's Old Trafford stadium on 28th May. Of the eight teams present in the quarterfinals, seven have already been crowned champions of Europe. Only Valencia has never won Europe's top football honour, but has been losing finalist on two occasions. |

cant agree with you its ok that barça and juve maybe havent done a dream game so far this year, but neither has madrid madrid just played one good match in this champions: roma 0 - madrid 3 first game of the season the rest: victory against dortmund: two lucky goals, no more victory against milan: milan was already cualified as first, so no tension at all victory against lokomotiv: one aproach one goal, lokomotiv failde like 4 clear ocassions only 5 games have madrid won so far in this championship 5 out of 12 what is it so good that you see in that? they have no good results and they havent really played well |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that is true-very bad results so far for the way they're playing (now) i think they their game is a perfect example of what football is all about they're working wonderful as a team (usually), every action they start make sence, they all do what they're supposed to do, they seem quite homogeneous... |

History favours Madrid or United Friday, 21 March 2003 It bodes well for Real Madrid CF and Manchester United FC that whenever they have met previously in the European Champion Clubs' Cup the winner of the tie has gone on to savour eventual success in the competition. Class of 2003 Most recently, in 2000, the Spanish side defeated the then UEFA Champions League holders 3-2 at Old Trafford to earn a place in the last four following a 0-0 draw at the Santiago Bernabéu. FC Bayern München then met a similar fate as did Valencia FC in the final, beaten 3-0 at the Stade de France. The Madrid class of 2003 contains the same core as the one which denied United three years ago, save for a midfield strengthened by Luis Figo and Zinedine Zidane and a new partner for Raúl González in the shape of Ronaldo. I'm glad not to be playing another Spanish team so this is a good draw from my point of view Zinedine Zidane Wait over Zidane, whose wait for a UEFA Champions League winners' medal ended at Hampden Park last May following a 2-1 victory against Bayer 04 Leverkusen, said of the quarter-final draw: "I'm glad not to be playing another Spanish team so this is a good draw from my point of view. I don't mean Manchester is easier but the way they play, open and with spaces, is better for us." Madrid may have avoided FC Barcelona and Valencia CF, but United, who have coasted through the two group stages, will provide formidable opposition. 'Strong United team' Zidane agrees. "All games are difficult from now on," he added. "You have to play them and win them. If we want to carry on in the competition we have to beat Manchester United. This is a very strong United team." The French maestro would rather have played the first leg away but instead United will visit the Spanish capital on 8 April ahead of a return on 23 April.

Holy Grail Madrid first accounted for United in the 1956/57 season en route to their second European Cup triumph, but the Red Devils responded with a victory of their own in the semi-finals of the 1967/68 competition, advancing 4-3 on aggregate. With SL Benfica beaten 4-1 at Wembley in the final, Matt Busby's quest for the Holy Grail was over. 'Worst scenario' Sir Alex Fergsuon's fledglings won the Champions League in 1999 and the Scot would like nothing better than to add to that tally on 28 May, the date of the Old Trafford final. United assistant club secretary, Ken Ramsden, did not dwell on a tough draw - "the worst scenario is not to be in it" - but instead looked forward to the coming together of two great clubs. 'Tremendous quality' He told uefa.com: "We have a great friendship with Real Madrid and have great respect for what they achieved. But we want to beat them - it's that simple. When you look at the tremendous quality of the teams at this stage it doesn't matter who you play. If you're going to be successful you have to beat the likes of Real Madrid." If United do that, they will meet either FC Barcelona or Juventus FC in the last four. |

Lippi happy with Juve fate Friday, 21 March 2003 The UEFA Champions League quarter-final tie between Juventus FC of Italy and Spain's FC Barcelona brings together two of the biggest clubs in world football - and Juventus coach Marcello Lippi is delighted. It will be a fascinating and exciting match Marcello Lippi 'Fascinating and exciting' "I said before the draw that I wanted to face Barcelona and now I'm really happy," he said. "It's not for technical reasons but just because I have never faced Barcelona before during my career. It will be a fascinating and exciting match, like all the other quarter-finals" 'Two extraordinary matches' Juventus official Romy Gai concurred. "They should be two extraordinary matches," he said after today's draw at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. "It is a good draw for the whole competition as we have avoided any Italian teams - so it is an excellent draw overall. They are a great team with great fans and a magnificent stadium, it will be very difficult." 'A great team' The only unbeaten club remaining in the competition, Barça defeated the Italian champions in the European Champion Clubs' Cup quarter-final in 1986, though they lost the final to FC Steaua Bucuresti. Barcelona also beat Juve in the semi-finals of the 1991 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup, before falling 2-1 in the final against Manchester United FC. Regarding a possible semi-final meeting with either United or holders Real Madrid CF, Gai said: "That would be something for the fans to look forward to and gives some extra spice to the quarter-final." |

Antic relish Barcelona coach Raddomir Antic felt that the Spanish representation in the draw was telling. "Having three Spanish sides in the quarter finals means the Spanish League is still the best in Europe," he said. "Spain again has a big starring role in Europe." Antic also said he was relishing the prospect of Italian opposition. "We will see two different footballing philosophies on the pitch," he said. Pérez pleased Barcelona's general manager Javier Pérez was pleased that his side will be at home in the quarter-final second leg. "We are really looking forward to the tie, and have a slight advantage, theoretically at least, with the second leg being played at our place," he said. We have had a great run in Europe this season and just need to extend that Javier Pérez Looking forward "We have had a great run in Europe this season and just need to extend that by five or six games now," Pérez continued. "The Spanish league and the Champions League are two different competitions, and we have everything to look forward to in the latter tournament." Quarter-final dates In the quarter-finals, Barcelona will travel to the Delle Alpi for the first leg on Wednesday 9 April before playing host to Juventus at the Nou Camp on Tuesday 22 April. |

Fiesta time for Spanish press Thursday, 20 March 2003 By Patrick Hart The Spanish newspapers assumed the cheerleading duties this week after the UEFA Champions League second group stage ended on a positive note for three Primera División sides. 'Epic match' Valencia CF achieved the outstanding result of Matchday 12, their 2-1 victory against Arsenal FC at Mestalla taking the national champions into the quarter-finals as Group B winners. Rafael BenÃtez's team duly took the plaudits in today's press. "Carew sees Valencia through in epic match," AS wrote, while Marca also acclaimed the Norwegian goalscorer, saying that "Carew lit the final firework" on the last night of the city's festival of fire, the Fallas. Europe's No1 Barcelona FC were already assured a last-eight place as Group A winners, but underlined their European supremacy with a 2-0 victory at Newcastle United FC - their eleventh in 12 group games this campaign. According to Sport newspaper, the Camp Nou club are the "No1 in Europe". Hot and cold European champions Real Madrid will dispute that after they too reached the knockout stage with a hard-earned 1-0 success at FC Lokomotiv Moskva in Group C. Despite freezing temperatures in Moscow, Madrid "were sweating", said Marca, until "Ronaldo used his head at the best moment". Italian vote Italy also completed a triumvirate of quarter-finalists, as Internazionale FC beat Bayer 04 Leverkusen to take second place in Group A. The Gazzetta dello Sport hailed "the discovery of a great African talent" after a goal from 18-year-old Nigerian Obafemi Martins set up the visitors' 2-0 success. "Martins was the protagonist," it said. "His ability to run with the ball was fantastic." |

Holy trinity Inter joined AC Milan and Juventus FC in Friday's draw. "Three teams in the quarter-finals," the Gazzetta remarked, "only Germany in 1998, England in 2001, and Spain on four occasions have achieved this." Juve chance While Milan had long been confirmed as top dogs in Group C, Juventus owed their position as runners-up behind Manchester United FC in Group D to a better head-to-head record against FC Basel and RC Deportivo La Coruña. "The Italian champions lost [2-1] against Basel," Tuttosport wrote, "but now have the chance to win the Champions League again after seven years." Puppy love AS Roma were unable to make it a quartet of Italian sides, as AFC Ajax claimed the second spot behind Valencia in Group B by holding the Giallorossi at the Olympic Stadium. De Telegraaf paid tribute to Ronald Koeman's "puppies" who, it said, "showed they are in the best eight teams in Europe". Andy van der Meyde's early strike heralded what the De Volkskrant newspaper called "a night of joy and admiration": "The dark years ended with a brave performance that brings Ajax back to the place they have longed to be." German lament Elsewhere, the reaction to the week's action was more muted. There was "pride and frustration" for BV Borussia Dortmund in the Süddeutsche Zeitung after their victory at Milan had failed to edge them past Madrid in Group C. "Ten points in the second stage is usually enough for the quarters," the paper noted. Bad form The Guardian blamed Arsenal's home form for their Group B demise, writing: "As Arsenal drew all three home matches in the group, the dread grew that there must be bleak repentance for such profligacy." While the Gazzetta dello Sport levelled a similar accusation at Roma. United challenge Exiting the competition with honour intact were a Newcastle side who, according to the Mirror, had "blazed a reputation around the continent for attacking football". The last word, though, went to another British tabloid, the Sun. Manchester Unit |
