Of Espanyol's 175 games, 164 have been in the Champions League, and Casillas said after the game that he would stay in Porto and hope to help the team go further in next season's Champions League.

Although Atletico Madrid drew at home to Bayer Leverkusen, they still advanced to the quarterfinals of the Champions League with a 4-2 win in the first leg.

Despite losing 3-5 in the first leg at the Etihad Stadium, Monaco 3-1 at home with the first firepower in Europe, although the aggregate score was 6-6, still advanced to the quarterfinals with the advantage of away goals, retaining the last lone seedling in Ligue 1.

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola, who missed out on an away goal disadvantage, was in a bad mood as it was his 100th Champions League game in charge, but the milestone was bitter.

Not only did Guardiola lead the team out of the Champions League round of 16 for the first time in his managerial career, but City also became the first team to score five goals in the first leg of the Champions League knockout round, only to be eliminated.

Despite 100 Champions League milestone defeats, Pep Guardiola's record in the first 100 European games is still the highest among all coaches, with 61 wins, 23 draws and 16 defeats.

In second place is Louis van Gaal, with 61 wins, 22 draws and 17 defeats in the Dutch's first 100 European matches.

In third place is Rafa Benitez, a well-known cup specialist with a record of 60 wins, 22 draws and 18 defeats.

After all the quarterfinals of the Champions League are over, the quarterfinals are all born, La Liga occupies the most three places, and two teams in the Premier League have advanced, one each in the Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1.

La Liga teams are three out of eight, once again cementing their dominance in the world's number one league. Regardless of whether they can reach the semi-finals or not, the two Premier League teams have basically completed the task of maintaining three Premier League ties. With the addition of Germany, Italy and France, the entire quarterfinals are monopolized by the five major leagues, which also highlights the dominance of the five major leagues in Europe.

Ahead of the draw for the Champions League round of eight, UEFA officially announced the Champions League Team of the Week for last week, in which Borussia Dortmund had the most players selected, with four.

After being named in the Team of the Week for the first leg of the quarter-finals, Zhang Zhetian was selected again, and the 19-year-old Arsenal No.1 and Monaco's "new Henry" and 18-year-old talented goalscorer Kylian Mbappe became supernovas in the knockout rounds of the Champions League.

The French Monster Boy scored once in each of the two legs of the quarter-finals, becoming the youngest player to score two goals in a Champions League knockout round since 2003 at the age of 18 years and two months.

So far this season, Mbappe has scored 17 goals in 17 starts, and his form is very hot.

Mbappe was selected for the first time in the recently announced list of the French men's national team and is expected to make his debut in the national team competition at the end of March.

On March 17, the draw for the Champions League quarterfinals was held at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland, and as this year's Champions League final will be played at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, as a guest invited by UEFA, Welsh legend and Liverpool legend Ian Rush became the master of the fate of each team's Champions League.

According to UEFA's draw rules, after entering the round of 8, there will be no "avoidance of teams from the same country and group", which means that the entire draw process is completely random, and any possible matchups may occur.

Therefore, it is possible that three La Liga and two Premier League teams will be "in the same room".

The draw ceremony went very quickly, starting with a clip of the performance of the quarter-finals teams in the two legs of the quarter-finals, and then the host Balabala said for a while, and then Rush conducted the draw.

Interestingly, when the video footage of the Arsenal goalkeeper Zhangzhe Tian made a save, it triggered whispers from the senior personnel of the giant team at the scene.

Soon, the draw was announced, and the schedule for a total of eight matches in the four matchups was confirmed.

The opponent of the Champions League old fritter Atletico Madrid is the Premier League dark horse Leicester City, who reached the top 8 for the first time in the Champions League, and the Foxes' Champions League journey is very likely to come to an end.

Bundesliga powerhouse Borussia Dortmund drew the red and white team Monaco in Ligue 1, both teams are advocating attack, and the latter is the second team to break the 100-goal mark in the top five leagues this season after Real Madrid.

Arsenal, who reached the quarterfinals for the first time in 6 years, drew La Liga giants Real Madrid, and the two sides have not played each other in the Champions League for 11 years.

In the quarterfinals of the Champions League 11 years ago, Arsenal first drew 0-0 at home to Real Madrid, and at the Bernabeu, Thierry Henry single-handedly tore apart Real Madrid's entire defense in the second half to beat Real Madrid.

Real Madrid stopped in the round of 16 for two consecutive years and became the first Champions League 16 in the mouth of fans, and the second Champions League 16 was Arsenal, which just got rid of this hat this season.

The two former Champions League 16 Lang, in terms of cards, the star-studded Real Madrid is undoubtedly the strongest, especially after winning the 11th Champions League last year, the Galaxy Fleet vowed to break the curse of not being able to defend the champion after the Champions League restructuring.

But the Gunners, who eliminated Real Madrid 11 years ago, will not be easy to follow, and the biggest attraction of this game is whether the giant palm of Zhang Zhetian can clean up the Real Madrid attack group with the first firepower of the five major leagues of Cristiano Ronaldo, the top scorer in the history of the Champions League.

Serie A team Juventus drew La Liga giants Barcelona, and whether the former can avenge the 15-year Champions League final will become the biggest attraction of this game.

The first leg of the quarter-finals will be played on April 11 and 12, with Borussia Dortmund hosting Monaco on the 11th, Juventus hosting Barcelona, Atletico Madrid hosting Leicester City and Arsenal hosting Real Madrid on the 12th.

The second leg of the quarter-finals will be Leicester at home against Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid at home against Arsenal on April 18, Monaco at home against Borussia Dortmund and Barcelona at home against Juventus on April 19.

As soon as the top 8 matches were released, the odds of each team to win the championship had some adjustments compared with before.

Barcelona has held the top of the odds to win the championship since the reversal of the promotion, Juventus who drew Barcelona fell from third to fourth, and Atletico Madrid, who will face Leicester City, surpassed Juventus to rise to third.

Leicester City are still underdogs, sitting bottom of the table, while Real Madrid's Arsenal remain in the bottom two, with Borussia Dortmund and Monaco slightly better than them, but it is clear that the big three clubs in La Liga are the favourites of Spinach.

This is also in line with an article that appeared on Sina Sports before the draw, saying that it is difficult for the Champions League in recent years to escape from the hands of teams with Champions League DNA.

After the Champions League round of 8 schedule was released, Arsenal coach Arsène Wenger attended the pre-match press conference, along with Zhang Zhetian, at the press conference, Zhang Zhetian rarely bombarded the article of Sina Sports.
