When will the draw be made before the quarter-finals of the Champions League?

On March 9th, Beijing time 19: 00 (Greek local time 12: 00), the draw ceremony for the semi-final of the European Champions Cup 1/4 was held in Athens International Convention Center. Eindhoven, where China Sun Xiang is located, was drawn by Liverpool, which is his second consecutive encounter with a Premier League team. Before Sun Xiang joined, the two teams had already met in the group stage. Eindhoven drew 0-0 at home and lost 0-2 away. AC Milan have met Bayern for two consecutive seasons. Last season, in the final of 1/8, AC Milan beat Bayern 4- 1 at home, thus advancing with a total score of 5-2. Manchester United and Rome, Chelsea and Valencia met for the first time in Europe.

The specific lottery results are as follows (the former is played at home first):

Quarter-finals:

AC Milan vs bayern Munich

Eindhoven vs Liverpool

Rome vs Manchester United

Chelsea vs Valencia

Semifinal:

Chelsea/Valencia vs Eindhoven/Liverpool

Rome/Manchester United vs AC Milan/Bayern

Teams from five countries entered the 1/4 finals of this Champions Cup. There are 3 Premier League teams, Manchester United and Liverpool have won the championship in recent years, and Chelsea has reached the quarter-finals for the third time in nearly 4 seasons. AC Milan and Rome are representatives of Serie A. AC Milan reached the quarterfinals for five consecutive seasons and was the only survivor of last season's quarterfinals. Rome entered the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time in 23 years. The other three seats belong to Valencia in La Liga, Bayern in Bundesliga and Eindhoven in the Netherlands.

1/4 final draw is random, so teams from the same league may meet. There may be a Premier League-Serie A derby in this year's draw. AC Milan midfielder Gattuso made it clear that he didn't want to draw in Rome. As a result, teams from the same country want to avoid it. However, semi-finals, Serie A derby and Premier League derby are all possible. If Chelsea meet Liverpool, it will be a repeat of the 2005 semi-final.

This is the second time that the draw for the top 8 of the Champions League has been held in the final after last year in Paris. Barcelona, the last champion, handed the trophy to Kaklamanis, the mayor of Athens, by Platini, the new president of UEFA. The "Big Ear Cup" will be exhibited in Athens until the last day.

14 finals were held on April 3/4 and April10/1day respectively, and the semi-finals were held on April 24/25 and May12 respectively. The final was held in Athens Olympic Stadium on May 23rd.
