Real Madrid and Chelsea will meet again like last season in the Champions League quarterfinals, in which Manchester City and Bayern Munich will face each other in the toughest duel; Milan and Naples will star in the Italian tie and Benfica and Inter Milan will solve the other cross.
If this phase is overcome, Real Madrid will continue to defend the title against the winner of Manchester City-Bayern in the semifinals, in which, as in the quarterfinals and unlike last year, they will have to play the second leg away from the Santiago Bernabéu, a determining factor in the achievement of the fourteenth in Paris.
The semifinals will be played on 9/10 and 16/17 May and in case of reaching the final on June 10 in Istanbul, the team led by the Italian Carlo Ancelotti would act as the local, against the one that overcomes the semifinal between the winners of the clashes Milan-Naples and Benfica-Inter.
