Spurs have proved to be a great team this season as by surviving the last 16 of the tournament against AC Milan! Their existence in the Champions League can be proved very fatal for many clubs! In this round, they have Spanish gianst to defeat, but it will be a very heavy task for the Londoners and it will be a big test for them!
One of the most exciting fixture of the tournament will be Real Madrid vs Tottenham! There is no doubt about that but this 1st leg might not fit in to the category of being labelled as 'most exciting'! The reason is that this fixture will miss many big names, including, Ronaldo, Benzema, Bale and Lennon are struggling to appear but it is hopeful that they will play!
Similarly, Spurs' will miss Gallas due to an injury! Along with midfielder Steven Pienaar, who has revealed he will miss the first leg of the quarter-final due to a groin injury. Madrid have their own problems as along with Ronaldo n Benzema, Marcelo is also expected to miss the match! Its also expected that Xabi Alonso eill also miss the match due to an injury! Real Madrid have another disadvantage to play the first game at home, Spurs at home look to be strong.
Spurs have only reached the semi-finals of the premier European tournament once before in 1962, and their limp league form heading into the home stretch has almost certainly resigned them to missing out next season.
Buoyed by their 1-0 away victory at AC Milan in the last round, as well as Real’s untimely injury concerns and their recent historic defeat, Tottenham will be confident of taking some away goals from this match!

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!
UEFA Quarter-Finals Draws:
Real Madrid vs Tottenham Hotspur
Chelsea vs Manchester United
Barcelona vs Shakhtar Donetsk
Inter Milan vs Schalke
Fixture Dates:
First leg: 5/6 April 2011
Second Leg: 12/13 April 2011

If you follow the three “big” leagues in Europe like I do, you would know that Real Madrid have been simply stunning in La Liga as the Champions League's round of 16 drew closer. They had reduced the gap between them and Barcelona to four points (now six); an amazing feat considering the fact that Barça were 18 points ahead of the Meringues at some point. Now explain to me how the same team can get so thoroughly humiliated on the big stage against Liverpool?
Yes, Rafael Benitez seems to be a Champions League guru, always getting the Reds to the semifinals - at least - but a 4-0 beating? Were Madrid that bad or is the Premiership's “Big Four” too good for the rest of Europe? We can only speculate but unless Barcelona meets one of those teams and goes through, we must concede that “maybe” they're that good

Similarly to the game opposing Manchester United and Inter Milan, the match between Liverpool and Real Madrid was a story of halves with each team dominating a part of the game.

On Wednesday, the two must-see games will probably be Chelsea against Juventus and Real Madrid against Liverpool

Group A
Chelsea – CFR Cluj: 2-1
The return of Joe Cole and Didier Drogba proved to be instrumental in Chelsea's qualification for the next round as Droga scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute

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

A win by both Bordeaux and Roma leave things wide open in Group A where any team can now go 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
