The UEFA Champions league draw has dished up a plethora of mouth-watering quarter-final clashes.
The drama and intrigue of the first leg of the quarterfinals will be broadcast live on SuperSport on Tuesday and Wednesday (March 31).
In arguably the pick of the last-eight ties, Arsenal tackle reigning champions Barcelona.
The Catalan giants – a side every team surely wanted to avoid – will be a tough proposition with Lionel Messi, the sparkling jewel in their crown, in fine fettle.
But if anyone can match their high-tempo, free-flowing style of play – it’s the Cesc Fabregas-led Gunners.
The first leg will be staged at the Emirates this Wednesday, with Arsenal intent on avenging their 2006 final defeat.
Last term’s losing finalists, Manchester United, face a tricky away tie to the only German side left in the competition, Bayern Munich.
Will Wayne Rooney continue his majestic goal-scoring form, or will Arjen Robben inspire the German giants?
In an all-French clash, Lyon and Bordeaux will battle it out for the rights to be acclaimed France’s premier Champions League side.
The fact that these Ligue 1 rivals have been drawn together ensures the French a semi-finalist for the first time since 2004.
Keep an eye out for Bordeaux’s Moroccan striker Maroune Chamakh, keen to enhance his reputation on the big stage ahead of his proposed summer move to the Gunners.
In another unpredictable clash, Chelsea-beaters, Inter Milan, will be intent on sending first-time quarter-finalists, CSKA Moscow packing.
The enigmatic, ever-colourful Jose Mourinho will be plotting the Russian side’s downfall, with Inter’s impressive defensive rearguard likely to come to the fore in this clash.
The stakes are as high as ever with the semi-final draw having also been unveiled.
The winner of the United and Bayern clash tackle Lyon or Bordeaux, while Inter or CSKA face either Arsenal or Barcelona.
