The 2022/23 UEFA Champions League quarter-final and semi-final draws have been made, throwing up plenty of intrigue.
Josep Guardiola’s Manchester City take on the Spaniard’s former employers Bayern, while holders Real Madrid face Chelsea – one of five of Carlo Ancelotti’s ex-sides in the draw. The winners of those ties meet in the semi-finals.
The other half of the draw also has a distinctly Italian accent, with seven-time European champions AC Milan taking on runaway Serie A leaders Napoli. Whoever emerges from that tie could then meet Inter provided the Nerazzurri get past Benfica in the last eight.
