Defending champion Manchester United and Barcelona go into the draw as the bookmakers’ joint favorites at 5-2.

Both teams are in first rank of Premier League and respectively in Primera Division.

In my opinion Liverpool could be the surprise this edition of Champions League, considering the latest results that they had against Manchester United at Old Traford (4-1) and Real Madrid in the Champions League with the final outcome in both games (4-0!).

Steven Gerrard said.”We are not running scared of anybody. We will take who we get, and believe that we are going to go through,”, “If you are asking me about a fear factor in the Champions League, then I think it is the other seven teams in the draw who are going to have concerns about coming up against us after that Real Madrid result.”

Manchester United ousted Italian champion Inter Milan in the previous round and Chelsea knocked out Juventus which means there are no Italian sides left in the competition.

Porto and Villarreal are the outsiders of the eight, who are made up of five winners, two runners up and a semifinalist.

The first legs of the quarterfinals on Champions League are April 7-8 and the returns are April 14-15.
