Manchester City and United cannot play at home on consecutive nights. United's fixture will be reversed if them and City are drawn to play at home on the same week. That is because United finished below City in the domestic league last season.
"Really hard to choose one team, but I think Liverpool is doing really well," Cesar begins. Then he names Juventus, Barcelona, Man City as favourites too.
To help Marchetti with the draw will be former Inter Milan goalkeeper Julio Cesar. He's a Champions League winner, from 2010, and right now, a UEFA Ambassador
No Infantino but we still have UEFA Deputy General Secretary Giorgio Marchetti handling the draw. Now, if I have to type like Marchetti speaks, ita woulda looka somethinga likea thisa.
Last year, there only two English teams in the quarterfinal. The Champions League draw pitted both of them against each other. How many all-English fixtures are we going to see thrown up by today's draw? Two?
Four English teams in the quarterfinal for the first time since the 2008-09 season. Barcelona beat United in the final, then. Can an English team break the La Liga dominance of the competition?
The semifinal draw will also be held today, straight after the quarterfinal draw. So, by the end of proceedings in Nyon, we'll get to know every team's potential path through to the final at the Wanda Metropolitano.
No restrictions, no country protection, no seeding. Just an open draw today, anybody can face anybody. What do you think will be the most mouthwatering fixture? A Manchester Derby? Another round of Messi v Ronaldo? Another round of Klopp v Guardiola?
