Champions League quarter-final draw: Man United, Man City, Liverpool and Tottenham find out ties


UEFA said before the draw: “Manchester City and Manchester United will not be able to play at home on the same night, nor on consecutive nights, following a decision made by the relevant local authorities.“Therefore, should both clubs be drawn at home in the same week, the team having finished lower in the domestic league the previous season – in this case Manchester United – will be reversed in accordance with the UEFA Club Competitions Committee principles. “Any potential reversal for the semi-finals, for the same reason, would be confirmed after the quarter-finals.”
