And the results of the draw were.

1.) Manchester City Vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid who somehow always manage to get easy draws as compared to other has once again got a somewhat easy draw as compared to others. Manchester city who have reached this stage for the first time ever would be excited at the prospect of playing the semifinals. And as their manager said

It’s a difficult draw, doesn’t matter who we were going to draw, it was always going to be difficult. The motivation is the semi-final.

Real Madrid Manager Zidane had this to say

To pass you have to play against all. Roma, VfL Wolfsburg and at Manchester City are three strong teams. It’s a semifinal, it’ll be very difficult. If there is something positive is that we play the return at home.

Here’s what Real Madrid Star Midfielder Toni Kroos had to say about his side’s draw

Our prediction & Verdict – It’s a good draw with both the team having a lot of quality players who can win matches on their own. One thing that we really find funny is how Real Madrid always manage to get the 2nd leg at home.

We Predict Real Madrid to win the tie.

2.) FC Bayern Munich vs Atlético Madrid

Pep Guaridola managed to avoid a draw with his future club Manchester city and will instead face the spirited Atlético Madrid. Atletico who Knocked the defending champions Barcelona out in the Quarter Finals will be quite optimistic of their chances .

Here’s what their captain had to say about the draw

Here’s what Guardiola had to say

We need 100% concentration for 90 mins. And then again for 90 mins. They have conceded very few goals in recent years because they have a very good structure. The German players have never played against Atlético. It will be a really great experience for them.

Our Prediction & Verdict – This will be one of the toughest game for both side, It will be match of Bayern’s attack vs Atletico Defense with both being the strongest in their respective league. Also this will put two of the most smartest tacticians of the present generation against each other.

We predict Bayern to reach the final.
