UEFA announced the draws for the Champions League quarter-finals today and most debatable match of these fixtures will be off course of Chelsea vs Man Utd! It will be the rematch of Champions League final in Moscow three years ago where Man Utd defeated Chelsea in penalties! Chelsea have never had the European glory and the closest they came was that final where Man Utd clinched the win due to the very last penalty where Terry slipped and was unsuccessful to convert it into goal and it cost Chelsea their first ever UEFA Cup! So this time around they will definitely look to avenge Man Utd for that! But given the current run of the both clubs in this season, Chelsea will have to increase their form and really need to turn the tables cuz Man Utd is in terrific form right now!
Meanwhile, spurs are handed over the nine-time UEFA winners, Madrid, for the quarter-final! It will be a very hard job for them through them and given the current level of Madrid, Redknapp really need to apply his tactic correct and wise and beat Mourinho's Lads! Real Madrid have passed to quarter-final after around six years and this time they want to go all the way to the final!
Barcelona and Inter are give comparatively the easier teams and they really should go on to next round! Barcelona will play against Shaktar. This will be an easy task for the Catalans. But Shaktar really enjoyed this competition and they have made the best out of it as they have already reached the quarter finals! But i think that this will be the maximum, because Barca is playing a terrific game and they are very hard to beat...having said that, its soccer and setbacks happen here every time!
Inter will play against Schalke, both teams have given Bayer hard time this season, as Schalke dumped Bayern out of German cup, and Inter threw them out of the UEFA Cup! And now they come face to face to fight with each other for the place in the semis! Inter obviously having an upper hand, they are a far better team than Schalke so they should go through to the next round!

Real Madrid vs Tottenham Hotspur
Chelsea vs Manchester United
Barcelona vs Shakhtar Donetsk
Inter Milan vs Schalke

After draws by Manchester United (2-2 against Porto) and Arsenal (1-1 against Villareal), fans were treated to more goals on Wednesday as Barcelona easily took care of Bayern at the Camp Nou while Chelsea silenced the Anfield crowd with a 3-1 victory over Liverpool.
After Bayern's impressive performance in the round of 16, everyone expected an entertaining game against the blaugrana. Sadly, the Germans' porous defense were no match for Thierry Henry, Samuel Eto'o and Lionel Messi as Barcelona found themselves up 3-0 (Messi at the 8th minute and 37th, and Eto'o in the 12th) before Bayern had even registered a shot on Victor Valdes. The reason for that total dominance was pretty simple. From the opening whistle, Barcelona put pressure on the German defense who had no support from their midfielder, leading to several giveaways and panicky clearances which resulted in the home side having the ball most of the time. Bayern's defense also couldn't deal with their opponents' movements. All four Barcelona goals came from great passing around the edge of the box as the ball was perfectly distributed from side to side.
The Bavarians, on the other hand, had only one avenue of attack and that was through Franck Ribery. Their right wing was completely non-existent as they focused on getting the ball to Ribery. The strategy made Barcelona defenders' job a lot easier as they only had one wing to shut down. So, Barcelona ended the half with a 4-0 lead (Henry scored a couple of minutes before half-time), and since the first fifteen minutes of the second half looked more of the same – Barca attacking, Bayern defending – my TV station decided to switch over to the Liverpool-Chelsea game right after Ivanovic had put Chelsea in front with his second of the game.
Five minutes later, Drogba made it 3-1 (that goal was offside by the way, but I'm not going to complain) and Liverpool had no choice but to attack, and that's where Rafael Benitez's system started to fail. With Essien firmly planted in front of Chelsea's back-four, Steven Gerrard didn't have the same freedom of movement as usual and had to stay back to build the Reds' attack. Despite the changes brought by Benitez in the final minutes, Liverpool couldn't breach an hermetic and aggressive Chelsea side. Fernando Torres was firmly marked by both Alex and John Terry, and the flanks were shut down by having the wingers backing up the fullbacks.
In the end, Liverpool were probably a bit too overconfident heading into this game and it cost them dearly. Not only did they lose on home field, but Chelsea's three away goals will surely hurt their chances of going through. Next week should be a cracker.

Group A
Bordeaux – Chelsea: 1-1
What is going with the Blues lately? Not only they are slowing down in the Premiership, their Champions League latest performances are leaving a lot to be desired. After convincingly defeating Bordeaux 4-0 in Matchday 1, they could only get a draw in the return match. Are they simply exhausted or are other teams figuring them out? Thanks to this draw, Bordeaux still have a chance to qualify. They'll have to defeat Roma on Matchday 6 to get through

Group A
Chelsea – CFR Cluj: 0-0
Cluj are continuing to impress everyone on the European stage. After defeating Roma 2-1 on Day 1, they held Chelsea to a scoreless draw which keeps them in second place. Granted, Chelsea didn't play very well. Without Joe Cole on the wing, they lacked the mobility necessary to stretch Cluj's compact defense. The Blues started with a 4-3-3 formation but suprisingly looked better with a 4-4-2 once Anelka came on in the second half. However, Drogba's injury before the hour-mark erased all the momentum they had at the start of the second period while Cluj gained in confidence as time went on. The Romanian even tested Cech late in the game but everyone could tell that they were equally satisfied with a draw
