After Villarreal's triumphs over Juventus and the Chelsea against Lille de France, the eight teams that will compete in the quarterfinals of the highest competition were known at the level of clubs of the world. The Spanish and English teams joined those already classified in the next instance. Together with Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City, Atlético de Madrid and Benfica, they will meet their next rival during the draw that will take place at the House of European Football in Nyon, Switzerland.
In this instance, anyone can face anyone because everyone will share the same hype. In this way, clunes from the same country will be able to cross paths. In addition, they will not only be distributed for the quarterfinals, but also for the semifinals (that is, each one will meet their potential rivals in the semis and the final). Meanwhile, the respective locations will also be defined for administrative reasons.
It should be noted that UEFA announced that after the war provoked by Russia in Ukraine, the final of the competition, which was scheduled for Saturday 28 May in St. Petersburg, will finally move to the Stade de France on the same date.
