The quarter-final duels in the Champions League will be drawn on Friday from 12 noon (DAZN and Sky Sport News) at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon – as well as the semi-finals and “home rights” for the final on June 1st at Wembley -Stadion. This will be followed by the draw for the Europa League duels from 1 p.m.
“The Champions League title is always the most attractive title – and the hardest title to win in Europe,” Bayern coach Thomas Tuchel said after the round of 16 win against Lazio: “It’s probably the most important thing in the world most difficult tournament to play. So of course it has an incredible appeal.”
Who’s in the pot?
Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund have qualified from the Bundesliga. There are also three teams from Spain in Real Madrid, FC Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. Manchester City and Arsenal FC represent the Premier League. The eighth team in the pot is Paris St. Germain.
Are there any restrictions?
No, everything is possible. In contrast to the round of 16, two teams from the same country can also meet in the round of the last eight. This means: Bayern against Dortmund is also possible. The club drawn first has home advantage in the first leg.
Has the duel between Bayern and Dortmund already taken place in the European Cup?
Yes, three times in total. In 2013, the Munich team won 2-1 against BVB in the “German Final” at Wembley. The two Bundesliga clubs also faced each other in the quarter-finals of the premier class in 1998: after a 0-0 draw in Munich, Borussia moved into the semi-finals with a 1-0 draw in the second leg.
How many times have Bayern and Dortmund been in the quarter-finals?
Bayern are at least in the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the 22nd time. They won the premier class in 2001, 2013 and 2020. Dortmund has qualified for the round of the last eight for the eighth time; BVB triumphed in 1997.
When is the game played?
The quarter-final games will take place on 9/10. (first leg) and 16./17. April. The semi-final games are for April 30th/1st. May and 7th/8th Planned for May. The 2024 final will take place on June 1st at the legendary Wembley Stadium in London.
Who are the stars?
Because Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo no longer play in Europe, the focus is particularly on Kylian Mbappe from Paris St. Germain. Harry Kane (FC Bayern), Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne (both Manchester), Robert Lewandowski (Barcelona) and Toni Kroos (Real) are also highly valued.
What is the mode?
If there is a tie on goals after the first and second leg (the away goals rule no longer counts), the game goes to extra time – and if no decision has been made after that, to a penalty shootout.
Who will broadcast the quarterfinals?
Prime Video broadcasts one game live on Tuesday, the remaining matches can be seen on DAZN.
How much money is there?
Each club receives 10.6 million euros for reaching the quarter-finals. Bayern, for example, have already secured 86 million in UEFA bonuses. Participation in the semi-finals would bring in a further 12.5 million euros. Victory in the Wembley final would be rewarded with 20 million euros, the losing finalist would receive 15.5 million.
