Football fans were looking forward to March 18th, the day of the draw for the 2015–2016 Champions League quarterfinals. The standard procedure identified four matches, which will determine the participants in the semi-finals.
The first quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League 2015-2016 season are scheduled for April 5th. The most exciting football battles with the participation of the best clubs in the world will begin on Tuesday evening. On this day, German-Portuguese and Spanish confrontations are planned.
Munich “Bavaria”, with incredible difficulty beating the Italian grand “Juventus”, will meet in the quarter finals with “offenders” of the domestic “Zenith” - Lisbon “Benfica”. The current Champion Cup winner Barcelona will try to break the unyielding Madrid team at home. The famous Latin American “Barcelona” trio will be opposed by the footballers of “Atlético”.
The next day (April 6), the Champions League calendar 2015 - 2016 provided for a meeting between PSG - Manchester City, as well as Real Madrid (Madrid) - Wolfsburg.
The visual schedule for the quarterfinals looks like this:
The French PSG got a good chance to pass the quarterfinals stage (in previous seasons, the capital's players could not overcome the rival in the form of Barcelona.) For the first time in its history, Manchester City made it to such a high stage of the main European club football tournament. The other pairs have obvious favorites (perhaps, only with the exception of the duel between Barcelona and Atlético, because a couple of years ago it was “mattress makers” who knocked out the venerable Catalan grandee).
The second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals 2015 - 2016 will take place one week after the first matches - namely on April 12 and 13.
