www.fcbarcelona.cat

Barca’s possible rivals in the quarter finals of the Champions League, to be drawn on Friday, are Arsenal, Manchester, Bayern, Lyon Bordeaux CSKA and Inter.

The draw for the quarter finals takes place at noon on Friday and Barca could face one of two Premier League teams – Arsenal or Manchester United, either of the French representatives, Bordeaux or Lyon, Bayern de Munich, CSKA or Inter Milan.

No seeding

There’s no seeding in the draw and all of the teams could be drawn to play the first leg at home or away. Inter were in Barca’s group, but at this stage that counts for nothing and Mourinho’s team could again be Barca’s opponents.

Semi-finals

The first leg of the quarter finals will be played on Tuesday March 30th or Wednesday 31st, with the return leg on 6th or 7th April. Friday’s draw will also decide the possible semi final pairings, games set for the 20th /21st April, with the return on 27th/28th.

Bordeaux through

Bordeaux were the other team to qualify on Wednesday night after beating Olympiakos 2-1 and 3-1 on aggregate.
