UEFA Champions League and Europa League Draw Results with Odds
The draws for the two European competitions took place Friday in Nyon, Switzerland, and both threw up some very interesting quarterfinal matchups.
In the UEFA Champions League, two of the four English sides will meet. Manchester City will travel to London to open up the brand new billion dollar Tottenham stadium as heavy favorites to win the competition, after the Cityzens won their round of 16 tie 10-2 over Schalke 04.
The UEFA Europa League may see an all-London final, if Arsenal can navigate a tricky quarterfinal tie with Napoli. On the other side of the draw, Chelsea looks to be huge favorites to advance to Baku, Azerbaijan. There will also be an all-Spanish derby, with Villareal and Valencia battling to move on to the semifinals.
