The Champions League quarter-final and semi-final draw was held this afternoon, March 18, 2011 in Nyon, Switzerland.
This draw set up four mouth-watering ties in the Champions League quarter-final, but the most exciting match-up would seem to be between Spanish giant Real Madrid and Tottenham Spurs. That is because Real Madrid reached at last eight for the first time in seven years, and also unexpectedly Spurs have been showing amazing performances. Needless to say, there are numerous world-class players in both sides like Cristiano Ronaldo, Mesut Oezil, Gareth Bale and Aaron Lennon. In addition, it's showdown between flagships in top 2 soccer leagues so that this game would be, therefore, a sort of war for their league's pride.
Spurs have been enjoying a huge amount of success in their inaugural season in Europe's flagship club competition, beating both sides from Milan on their way to the last eight of the tournament and now are full of confidence whereas they face their biggest test so far in the form of Jose Mourinho's star-studded squad.
The first leg will take place on Tuesday April 5 in Madrid, with White Hart Lane hosting the second leg on Wednesday April 13, and the winner of this clash will meet Barcelona or Shaktar at the semis.
Who do you think will go into the semi-final?
