LIVERPOOL and Manchester City will go head-to-head after being drawn against each other in an all English quarter-final draw that took place at the UEFA headquarters in Nyon on Friday.
Unlike previous rounds it was an open draw in which no teams were seeded with clubs from the same national association able to be drawn against each other.
The draw was conducted by UEFA Champions League ambassador and AC Milan great Andriy Shevchenko.
"Real Madrid are clear favourites because they are growing and can no longer win the league. I won't offend anyone if I say that after three months of holidays they have begun to play," Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said.
"It's tough to say who is the best," Roma sporting director Monchi said. "They're all difficult.
"(Barcelona) have a player (Messi) who's not normal in their team.
"Then there's Real Madrid, a club that's accustomed to winning everything; Juventus are on a successful run; Manchester City are the best of the lot in my opinion; Bayern Munich faced a good side in Besiktas, with top players, and won 5-0."
Champions League quarter-final draw:
Liverpool (ENG) v Manchester City (ENG)
Barcelona (ESP) v Roma (ITA)
