Manchester United to face Barcelona in Champions League quarterfinals
United was drawn Friday to face Barcelona in the Champions League quarterfinals, hosting the first leg on April 10.
Barcelona defender Gerard Pique also played in the two finals against Man United, where he spent four years early in his career.Not all the memories are bad for Man United, however. Tottenham will host Man City in the first leg on April 9, which could be played at Wembley Stadium or at the north London club's soon-to-be-completed new arena. They also play in the Premier League in Manchester less than three days after the second leg.
“We know how good we had to be last year,” said Liverpool coach Juergen Klopp, dismissing talk of his team getting the easiest opponent. “I could not be further away from thinking it's the best draw because it isn't.”
