At 20: 00 Beijing time on March 14 (local time in Switzerland 13), the draw ceremony for the semi-final of the European Champions Cup14 was held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland. Arsenal and Liverpool staged the Premier League Derby; Manchester United and Rome met for the third time in nearly two seasons, and Barcelona played Schalke 04. Chelsea won the relatively weak Fenerbahce, but if the team can eliminate the Turkish Super League champion, there will be a Premier League derby in the semi-final; Manchester United is the only Premier League team in the other half.
The draw ceremony was presided over by UEFA Secretary-General david taylor and the representative of the final venue, former Russian goalkeeper Dasayev. After Liverpool eliminated Inter Milan in the middle of the week, all the top four in the Premier League advanced, with Barcelona and Rome in La Liga and Serie A respectively, while Schalke 04 and Fenerbahce reached the quarterfinals of the Champions League for the first time. Because the draw for the 1/4 finals is random, whether there is a Premier League team has become the biggest suspense.

Quarter-finals:
Arsenal vs Liverpool
Rome vs Manchester United
Schalke vs Barcelona
Fenerbahce vs Chelsea.
