Marchetti, director of UEFA's competition department, presided over the draw, and the ambassador of the venue for this year's final, former Welsh goalscorer Rush was the guest. The quarter-finals of this year's Champions League are all from the five major leagues, with 3 seats in La Liga and 2 seats in the Bundesliga, and the remaining 3 seats belong to the Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1. The quarter-final draw is random, with no seeded teams and teams from the same league.

The quarter-finals will be played over two legs on 11/12 April and 18/19 April; The draw for the semi-finals took place on 21 April, with the two legs taking place on 2/3 May and 9/10 May. The final will be played on June 3 at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.

It is worth mentioning that a week before the draw ceremony, UEFA announced the list of bidding stadiums for the 2019 Champions League final, Europa League final and women's Champions League final.

In the draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League, Blackburn Rovers drew Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, and Arthur also expressed his opinion on this draw.

There have been suspicions about the Champions League draw, and Arthur said: "When people talk about using hot and cold balls to manipulate the draw, I just smile and don't talk. The game against Bayern Munich will not be very easy, they are a very difficult opponent to play against. Although I haven't spoken to Carlo Ancelotti since the draw, I don't think Bayern Munich will be afraid of us, and of course, we will not be afraid of them. What is certain is that this is going to be one of the best matches in the history of football. ”

On Bayern Munich boss Carlo Ancelotti, Arthur said: "I learned a lot from Carlo Ancelotti, he's a good guy, we all know he works there, I think every team has a 50 per cent chance of qualifying. We know each other very well, but in the game anything is possible. The most important thing is not the result of the draw, but our attitude towards the game. ”

Klopp was also interviewed after the draw and said that the draw for Bayern Munich was the best result for Blackburn.

Klopp said: "Without a doubt, this is the most wonderful result! We know very well how strong Bayern Munich are and a draw for Bayern Munich means our journey to the last eight will be very difficult. But when I was in the Bundesliga, I loved meeting them and I can't wait to meet them again in the Champions League this time! ”

Blackburn Rovers will now face Bayern Munich away and the second leg will be at the Bernabeu. On the away and home fixtures, Klopp said it was good news for Blackburn: "If there's any good news for us, it's that the second leg is at the Rose Theatre, which is an advantage for us. But we have to play well because we all know that if you give Bayern Munich just 20 minutes to play, they can kill the game. ”

Jurgen Klopp concluded: "It was a lot of pressure for us to get to Bayern Munich, but our players are very good and very experienced, and everyone will give their best in the two legs. ”

At the same time, Klopp also reflected on Blackburn's showdown against Chelsea in the 33rd round of the Premier League between the two Champions League quarter-finals on 16 April: "The only team that can compete with us for the league title this season is now Chelsea, it is a game that decides the league title and we all know that this game will be much more difficult than usual. It's going to be a very difficult place to conquer but we're going to score goals as we always do. ”

The draw for the quarter-finals of the Champions League has ended, Blackburn Rovers have faced a strong opponent Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, and the Roses' April schedule is even more terrifying!

Starting April 8, Blackburn Rovers will have a devilish schedule. They first host Manchester United, then fly to Germany on 12 April to prepare for the Champions League quarter-final clash with Bayern Munich, three days later in a Premier League clash with Chelsea, and then host the second leg against Bayern Munich on 19 April.

Blackburn Rovers will prepare for four games in a row in 11 days, and they will play against very strong opponents. If only Bayern Munich and Chelsea are considered, then Blackburn will play three games with Bayern Munich and Chelsea in 7 days!

However, Blackburn Rovers are not worried at all, because they have not suffered from a large number of player injuries, and they can come up with two extremely strong squads, and each of them will not be inferior to the main lineup of Bayern Munich and Chelsea.

This is the confidence of the strongest team in football in the 21st century!

Bayern Munich did not admit the confident attitude conveyed by Blackburn's side, and Bayern Munich CEO Rummenigge said that this is a five-to-five matchup, and all fans will look forward to it.

Rummenigge said: "It's a classic matchup, all the fans can expect it, it's going to be two great matches. You have to have a lot of respect for Blackburn, they won the Champions League last year. Blackburn are a top team and that's a huge motivation for us as well. It's also the case for Carlo Ancelotti, who has been with Blackburn for four seasons and knows Blackburn Rovers very well and will certainly be motivated. It's good for us to play at home first, we can try to take the lead at home, but it's going to be difficult for sure and I think the chances of progressing are five to five. ”

Carlo Ancelotti said: "Of course it was special for me to play against Blackburn Rovers and it would be very exciting to be back at Blackburn. The teams in the quarter-finals know each other well, and Blackburn have fantastic teams, players and coaches. It's going to be tough, but we're confident that we have a chance to qualify. It's the little details that make the difference. ”

Captain Lahm said: 'I think of a lot of interesting home and away games against Blackburn Rovers and it's good to go to Blackburn Rovers again, the atmosphere is always fantastic. We need a good result in Munich, we have a strong team and we know we can do the same away from home. ”

Neuer also talked about how Anshuai knows Blackburn very well and said that this is a five-to-five matchup, and it will be very, very close.

Robben, who played for Blackburn Rovers for three years, said: "It could be the worst fate, but there is no good opponent in the quarter-finals. It's special for me and it's great to be able to race at Blackburn Rovers again, but I also know it's always hard to play there. First of all, we have a home stadium and we hope to continue the winning streak in front of our own fans and get a good result. We all know Blackburn Rovers and are all ready. ”

Boateng said it was a game that sounded like an early final, and that it would take two top performances to qualify: "I don't think Blackburn will be happy with the result either. ”

Bayern Munich, who have fallen to the semi-finals for the third year in a row under Pep Guardiola, will look to lead Bayern Munich to new history, and he will face one of the toughest challenges of all, knocking out his once-beloved Blackburn Rovers at the Teatro del Rose.

For Ancelotti, Blackburn's memories are wonderful. In addition to Carlo Ancelotti, Bayern Munich also has a familiar face in the Bayern Rover team, Dutch "Peter Pan" Robben.

So as soon as the draw results came out, Blackburn put up a banner on his official website

Come on! Bayern Munich!

Come on! Carlo Ancelotti!

Come on! Robben!

Welcome home!

……

"Oh, the players from both teams are starting to enter the field!" The first leg of the 2016-17 Champions League quarter-final Blackburn Rovers vs Bayern Munich was played at the Allianz Arena and was broadcast live on BBC Sports, and the BBC took the game very seriously, sending their ace football commentators Lineker and Inverdale.

Inverdale still introduced the two teams in a rather old-fashioned way: "Bayern Munich has won ...... in the last six games There is no doubt that Bayern Munich, who have been in good form of late, are more likely to win the game. ”

"John! If the analysis is useful, the players don't have to play. Lineker quipped: "Let's take a look at the lineups."

Blackburn Rovers starting line-up (4-4-2):

Goalkeeper: Trapp

Defenders: Alaba, Phil Jones, Alderweireld, Azpilicueta

Midfielders: Bale, N'Golo Kante, Pogba, Neymar

Forwards: Antoine Griezmann, Harry Kane

Bayern Munich starting line-up (4-3-3):

Goalkeeper: Manuel Neuer

Defenders: Lahm, Martinez, Boateng, Hummels

Midfielders: Thiago, Vidal, Costa

Forwards: Muller, Lewandowski, Koeman

Black's captain Phil Jones lost on the side, and Bayern Munich got the chance to kick off first.

Just 11 seconds into the game, Thiago, Muller, Robert Lewandowski and Coman combined to threaten Blackburn's goal, but Lahm's cross was blocked by Alderweireld.

In the 6th minute, it was again Lahm who cut in the pass, but Muller's left-footed volley from the edge of the box on the right went wide.

Three minutes later, it was Neymar who performed on the wing, breaking through Hummels' defence and passing straight to Griezmann, whose cross from the left to Harry Kane was slightly too wide, causing Neuer, known as the 'goalkeeper', to get on the ball first after he came out.

Bayern Munich had a good chance to open the scoring in the 13th minute when Muller's through ball, Cesar Azpilicueta's tackle was faulty, and Thiago's shot from six yards on the left edge of the six-yard box was denied by Trapp's interference.

Blackburn Rovers then quickly returned the color, Pogba tackled Martinez in front, Bale cut in quickly on the edge of the box on the left and fired a powerful right-footed shot from a good angle and speed, but unfortunately it was saved sideways by the brave Neuer, and Boateng immediately cleared the ball with a big foot.

In the 21st minute, Vidal passed the ball and Muller shot wide from outside the box. In the 23rd minute, Thiago and Muller combined for a pass and Lewandowski's shot from 20 yards went wide of the right-hand post.

Bayern Munich missed a great chance in the 28th minute when Thiago delivered a sublime through ball and Muller's shot from 21 yards out on the left flank of the box was blocked by Trapp with his legs.

Thiago then whipped in a corner from the right, Martinez headed in and Muller's header from yards was headed over by Pogba in front of the line.

Bayern Munich, who are at home, are obviously more prepared for this game and control the initiative on the field, but soon Blackburn told them with a counterattack: biting dogs don't bark!

In the 30th minute, N'Golo Kante broke the ball in midfield and launched a counter-attack on the spot, Bale ran wildly down the flank and passed the ball, and Harry Kane finally had a chance from 24 yards down the middle.

Harry Kane received Bale's pass, stopped the ball on his chest and sent it straight forward, then his left foot tensed, and the ball was a powerful volley before it hit the ground!

But Harry Kane's powerful shot was blocked by Martinez in a hurry, and the ball hit Martinez's elbow and bounced off the line.

"Handball!"

Harry Kane saw that Martinez's handball was not awarded by the referee and rushed directly to complain about the handball foul of the Bayern Munich defender, but the referee thought that the latter's hand was not extended, which was not an intentional handball, so he just gave Blackburn a corner.

Although Harry Kane has been swearing, he still agrees with the referee's decision.

In the next corner, Neymar crossed directly, and Bayern Munich's central defender Martinesque saw that Pogba was unmarked and immediately posted it, but was blocked by Pogba and couldn't move at all.

Pogba jumped up after reaching Martinesque, he didn't flick his head straight at goal, and Neymar was a bit lower than the pass because it was meant to be passed to Griezmann.

Pogba flicked the ball forward with his thigh, then immediately took a step forward, and immediately lifted his foot sideways to pull the ball under the pull of Martinesque behind him.

Opportunity!
